I’ve been thinking of something,
I’ve been thinking of something new to do.
I’m bored of the same routine. The same old things I do.
I’ve been spending too much time thinking ‘bout all the things that make me ‘me’.
Stuck in the middle’s not where I want to be.
Black birds in the sky are falling… they’re calling my name.
Stand alone on your highway. Feel the wind against your face tonight
Go ahead and face your life now, you can take it to the morning light.
Don’t be talking about mountains.
Don’t be talking ‘bout rivers deep and wide
I’m lost in the valley here. Mary weeps and cries.
Black birds in the sky are falling… they’re calling my name.
Stand alone on your highway. Feel the wind against your face tonight
Go ahead and face your life now, you can take it to the morning light.
Have you ever wondered where the road ahead is going to?
Have you ever wondered why? Where the road ahead is going to…. Oh.
I’ve been thinking of something,
I’ve been thinking of something new to do.
I’m bored of the same routine. The same old things I do.
It’s true. The things that I do, the things that I do.
Stand alone on your highway. Feel the wind against your face tonight
Go ahead and face your life now, you can take it to the morning light.
Stand alone on your highway. Stand alone on your highway.

Road To Reason
04:43

Got my sights on heaven, chasing down my sins
Bye- bye lucky feather, trash bag in the wind
Keep it on the go now. Keep it on the go.
Wasted all this freedom on what I thought was sacred ground.
Took a shot, got what I got
Now I’m wooden nickel bound.
Keep it on the go now, keep it on the go.
When I’m forced to face the road to reason
I just grab a rag and polish off my shoes.
Tell me, who'm I trying to fool, who am I pleasing?
Tell me, what’s it going to take for the horse’s back to break?
Hide that box of matches, I’m smelling kerosene.
It’s not too late to catch that snake
You know it bit me in a dream.
Bit me in a dream now, bit me in a dream.
I’m not sorry often. Shame ain’t what I do.
You know I don’t believe in Jesus but when I’m down and out I should.
I really think I should now, think I should.
When I’m forced to face the road to reason
I just grab a rag and polish off my shoes.
Tell me, who'm I trying to fool, who am I pleasing?
Tell me, what’s it going to take for the horse’s back to break?
When I’m forced to face the road to reason
I just grab a rag and polish off my shoes.
Tell me, who'm I trying to fool, who am I pleasing?
Tell me, what’s it going to take for the horse’s back to break?
What’s it going to take, it’s an asshole’s life at stake.

Stay Standing
04:03

|
She threw me for a loop. I didn’t see it coming.
I had my head down. I was minding my own,
When she got up in my face. She told me I was leaving.
I didn’t have a choice. It was her way and the highway.
She’ll take yours. She’ll take mine. She’ll take all that she can.
This old wall’s giving way: It can’t hold the water back for another day.
I don’t know what will stay. Stay standing and what will get swept away.
There’s a devil in the church, a spider in the garden.
Shut the city down and run if you can.
But you better move fast. Did anybody see you?
Did you drop it in the bag? Did your victims look sad?
He’ll take yours. He’ll take mine. They’ll take all that they can.
This old wall’s giving way: It can’t hold the water back for another day.
I don’t know what will stay. Stay standing and what will get swept away.
Swept away.
This old wall’s giving way: It can’t hold the water back for another day.
I don’t know what will stay.
Stay standing. Stay standing. Stay standing and what will get swept away.

Endless Heart

I was wrong, you were right. Never thought I had the insight
To ever have to settle a score.
But here we are in this morning light just looking for forgiveness.
We don’t have to run no more.
If you fall asleep before I wake up from my daydream,
I just need you to know that I’m here and I’ll never go.
I feel the sheets below your waist I feel your hands against my face.
We’ve got nothing left to prove.
Nothing’s found when nothing’s lost.
No matter what the price or the cost.
‘cause when you’re near me life is right.
If you fall asleep before I wake up from my daydream,
I just need you to know that I’m here and I’ll never go.
So take this time if you need to and I hope that you’ll remember
That what we’ve got is a love with an endless heart.
Yesterday don’t matter. We’ve got time today so just let it go.
If you fall asleep before I wake up from my daydream,
I just need you to know that I’m here and I’ll never go.
So take this time if you need to and I hope that you’ll remember
That what we’ve got is a love with an endless heart.
Oh, what we’ve got is what we’ve got.

Hard Times
03:31

Get your Mama’s money, get your sister’s car.
Get it past the corner and step out and see who you are.
‘Cause you can spend all day driving, driving on your anxious heart.
When’s it going to start? I hope it never falls apart.
Because times are changing, you’ll never get all you need.
So what’s the difference if you’re taking it out on me?
I remember what you said last night, I remember what you did.
You took a bit of happiness and you hid.
It’s as simple as a morning prayer, as easy as a dove
Tell me, what’s it going to be girl? What you going to love?
Because what I’ve got to give you won’t be enough.
These are hard times, honey, and changing is what we do.
You’ll make your choices and you’ll wear them too.
This is your life coming and you’ll never know what you’ll find.
I’ve got this feeling that you’re leaving it all behind.
Do what you want to, I leave it up to you.
I know you’ll make a difference in everything that you do.
Take a part of me with you, but if you don’t I’ll understand.
At least I like to think you will at least I hope you can.
Get your Mama’s money, get your sister’s car.
Get it past the corner and step out and see who you are.
‘Cause you can spend all day driving, driving on your anxious heart.
When’s it going to start? I hope it never falls apart.
Because times are changing, you’ll never get all you need.
So what’s the difference if you take it and leave?
These are hard times, honey, and you’re laying it on the line.
I’ve got this feeling that you’re taking it all in stride.
You’re taking it all in time.
You’re leaving us all behind.

Blood Flows

I remember how she talked to me. She talked to me like a bumble bee.
She held my hand then she stung me twice.
That’s when I knew that she wasn’t nice.
Oh, I don’t know. It runs cold.
Oh, here it goes. Blood flows. Blood flows.
I fell in love with a dragonfly. She bit my flesh every time she lied.
Well, I have her wings underneath my rug.
I had to put an end to that nasty bug.
Oh, I don’t know. It runs cold.
Oh, here it goes. Blood flows. Blood flows.
So try. It’s a hard bone to break.
Oh, try. Back to the bus again.
Why? Standing tall just to fall. It’s a cattle call, but try.
Try. Try.
Oh. Here I am in my rocking chair.
Something comes a ‘creeping on down my stairs.
Spare the rod and spoil the stew.
I can’t change the past, so shoo fly, shoo.
Go on.
Oh, I don’t know. It runs cold.
Oh, here it goes. Blood flows. Blood flows.
Try. Try. Try.

Message

Take my heart, take it slow.
It’s for the having baby, don’t you know?
Things haven’t been so easy, I know.
There’s something deep inside us that needs to show.
It’s been a long road back to places where we once were at
And I could tell you in a second flat that we lost, lost our way.
Got to get this message through.
I felt the wind from a freight train. I saw the coming of a hurricane, baby.
The devil counts every sin we claim, girl, before we fall asleep at night.
So take my heart and take it now.
I need to know if you’re coming around.
It’s been a long road back to places where we once were at
I’m no stranger to you.
Throw it all, all on me.
Got to get this message through. Got to get this message through to you.
Well I know that everything will be fine.
You keep saying baby, give it just a little more time.
It’s been a long road back to places where we once were at
And I could tell you in a second flat that we lost, lost our way.
Got to get this message through.
Got to get this message through to you.

What Would You Say?
04:26

All of my friends went home. Back to the lives they own.
There’s not much more I can do.
I can’t believe
I’m loosing, loosing you.
As I lay down to sleep, I pray for your heart to keep.
But I won’t be the first or the last to wish you dreams. Sweet dreams.
Did you kick us down the road, turn us into gold, make us into something we’re not?
Did you feel like giving up, was I never enough? Did we give it everything that we’ve got?
That we’ve got….
If you believe you can love like no other can.
Love like we used to do. You’ve got to believe in love.
If you don’t I do.
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you everyday
I’ve been hoping that you’d come back to stay
There’s still time enough to make this right. What would you say?
Did you kick us down the road, turn us into gold, make us into something we’re not?
Did you feel like giving up, was I never enough? Did we give it everything that we’ve got?
Did you take me for a ride, choose the other side?
Run until you found someone new?
Say it ain’t true. Say it ain’t true.
Tell me the truth. Oh, come on tell me.
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you everyday
I’ve been hoping that you’d come back to stay
There’s still time enough to make this right. What would you say?
