Gravy Train ::

Just don’t mean nothing when you got it all
Cause when it all runs out, I know that you’re bound to fall
Hard Work aint nothing that you know about
When you have it all handed to you in the palm of your hand
Silver spoon in your mouth when your hungry
I need a tree in my yard that grows money.

I take a ride on the gravy train yall, I got my ticket filled
I catch a ride on the gravy train yall, I better get my fill.

Just don’t mean nothing when you walk the walk
When the shoes don’t fit you might as well take em off
This high cost of living man its wearing my pockets out
Think you know all but you haven’t got it all figured out
Silver spoon in your mouth when your hungry
I need a tree in my yard that grows money.

I take a ride on the gravy train yall, I got my ticket filled
I catch a ride on the gravy train yall, I better get my fill.

:: Mason Jar ::


Like a child we run through the hills and play
Searching for clovers on the field where we use to lay
Holding hands under the arms hickory tree
While the fire flies gather at night just to help me lead the way

Oh my mason jar what you hold for me
My mason jar whatever will be
Oh my mason jar what you hold for me
My mason jar whatever will be

Through the back woods trail where the gravel meets the grain
Down the valleys where the drifters use to stay
No trespassing all the signs say keep away
But the moonshine flows like wine so I slowly drift away.

Oh my mason jar what you hold for me
My mason jar whatever will be
Oh my mason jar what you hold for me
My mason jar whatever will be

So I put it in a mason jar and I sit it on the window sill
Oh sit it on the window sill
When I open up and look inside oh they shimmer and shine
Oh how they shimmer and shine.

Oh my mason jar what you hold for me
My mason jar whatever will be
oh my mason jar what you hold for me
my mason jar whatever will be

Oh my mason jar
What you hold for me

:: Fools Moon ::

A fools moon through an open eye
It can lead you on
When this old world has just passed you by
Can you still find your way home

Like a whisper in the dark, feel your shadows from the stars
Talking about a fools moon, I’ve been blinded by fools moon

It don’t take much money but just a little bit of your love
Lord you can help a poor man fill his soul
When your weight gets to heavy and you fill you can’t go on
Don’t let a fool’s moon lead you home

Like a whisper in the dark, feel your shadows from the stars
Talking about a fools moon, I've been blinded by fools moon.
Like a whisper in the dark, feel your shadows from the stars
Talking about a fools moon, I've been blinde by a fools moon

Well ive been blinded

Like a whisper in the dark, feel your shadows from the stars
Taking about a fools moon, ive been blinded by fools moon.
Like a whisper in the dark, feel your shadows from the stars
Taking about a fools moon, ive been blinded by fools moon.

No it won't, it won't lead me,no it won't lead me  home

:: Moving On ::


Oh Oh Oh keep me moving on
Oh Oh Oh keep me moving on

Father father where did I go wrong
I said I know the path I walk on
Is not the road you chose
He said sometimes the road you walk aint easy
No Its just a little too long
I’ve got to listen to my heart to keep moving on

Keep me moving on

Sister Annie, please put down your load
I said I know the cross you carry, lord it is not your cross to hold
She said sometimes the cross we bear aint easy
No its jut a little too tall
Ive got to listen to my heart to keep moving on

Keep me moving on
Oh Ive got to keep moving on
Keep me moving on

She said sometimes the cross we bear aint easy
No its jut a little too tall
Ive got to listen to my heart to keep moving on

Keep me moving on
Oh Ive got to keep moving on
Keep me moving on

Well i got to keep on moving on
Yes I got to keep on moving on
Moving on.

:: Picture Perfect ::

He wears his heart on his sleeve
Lives his life through all he's seen
But in this picture perfect world he's just colorblind
She lives her life in a dream
Holds her heart and don’t feel no pain
Cause in this picture perfect world shes just black and white

And they say oh isn't this how the story goes
Ohh a picture tells a story to us all

He wipes her tears from her eyes and
Holds her heart as she waves goodbye
Lord but in a picture perfect world
You don’t know what you leave behind

So you keep chasing after dreams you may never know
even if your losing everything
Don’t keep chasing after dreams you use to know
Just to run away from things you can’t see

Picture perfect misery
Oh oh oh in picture perfect misery

So you keep chasing after dreams you may never know
Even if your losing everything
Don’t keep chasing after dreams that you use to know
Don't keep chasing after dreams
And don't jkeep chasing after dreams that you use to know 
Just to run away from things you can’t see

In picture perfect misery
Oh oh oh in picture perfect misery

And they say oh isn't this how the story goes

:: Motels and Highways ::

The highway is calling
Another day another dollar
Another lonely night
Another song left to sing
I wake up to find
Lord night after night
All the roads we travel
Well they all seem to look the same

Cause these motels and highways
Fill my nights and my dreams
From sold out show where everyone knows your name

Tollbooths and truck stops
Diners and cafes
A friendly phone call
Oh lord or just a friendly face
Tired and dirty
Road weary and worthy
Of a place oh of a simple place that just keeps calling my name

Cause these motels and highways
Fill my nights and my dreams
From sold out show where everyone knows your name
And these motels and highways
Lord I miss my family
When No one shows the songs don’t sing the same

The letters im writing 
Lord all  the fusing and fighting
Oh how long, lord how long will you wait for me

Cause these motels and highways
Fill my nights and my dreams
From sold out show where everyone knows your name
And this music tells a story of all the lives that we lead
There’s a peace that comes from six strings.


:: Rock N Roll Me ::

Ive been sneaking around your window baby
Im Like a cat out on the prowl
Got an itch that needs some scratching
Got the feeling you know how

Rock n roll me while you stone
With a word you whisper in my ear
Take it slow and take it fast
Take your time let’s make it last
That’s what were gonna do

Ive been laying around your tree
You’ve been shaking leaves at me all day
Drop a rope down for me babe and let me
See if can help you shake some on my way


Rock n roll me while you stone
With a word you whisper in my ear
Take it slow and take it fast
Take your time let’s make it last
That’s what were gonna do

Ahh you know that’s what were gonna do
Rock N Roll me while you stone me

:: PO Box and a Postcard ::


To a time she gave good sympathy
She always knew just exactly what she had to say
She left a little to be forgotten
With my hands stuck inside my pocket
She blew a kiss goodbye and i sealed it with her name

Come rest your head, I used to hear say
But all my years of experience they all just went away
Lost I came a running, even though I did not see it coming
She blew a kiss goodbye and i sealed it with her name

With a po box and postcard I bought a ticket for that train
Long lost love will I ever find my way
With a tattoo across my heart an old memory that just don’t fade away
Long lost love will I ever find my way

Letting go can always be so hard
When its never really yours to let go anyway
Theres a time to laugh and time to cry
And a time when you walk a way
She blew a kiss goodbye and i sealed it with her name

With a po box and postcard I bought a ticket for that train
Long lost love will I ever find my way
With a tattoo across my heart an old memory that just don’t fade away
Long lost love will I ever find my way

No I cant forget, all the love that we use to have
Now ive been searching tell me where did I go wrong
But like a fool I let you slip
Now everyone wants there chance
Long lost love tell me where did I go wrong

With a po box and postcard I bought a ticket for that train
Long lost love Im still searching for that day
With a tattoo across my heart an old memory I guess they fade away
Long lost love will I ever find my way

Or do you just fade away
I say they all fade away


:: Wishing Well ::

Well you your digging your diamonds from the ground
You got your rusty water and your rusty pale
You’ve been tossing your wishes in a well
But your keepin all of your money and you just don’t tell

Your just a lost soul swimming in a wishing well
And your gonna grow old living in a wishing well
Your just a lost soul swimming in a wishing well
And your gonna grow old

So now your dreaming about a love that you use to have
As you take that bottle off of your shelf
You’ve been drinking on a dream and it just wont last
You got your broken vow and an empty glass

Your just a lost soul swimming in a wishing well
And your gonna grow old living in a wishing well
Your just a lost soul swimming in a wishing well
And your gonna grow old

Lay your pain on a penny one time for me my friend
Take it down to the well one time and toss em on in
Lay your pain on a penny one time for me my friend
Just remember how it felt and get down on your knees
Get down on your knees at the wishing well

Your just a lost soul swimming in a wishing well
And your gonna grow old living in a wishing well
Your just a lost soul swimming in a wishing well
And your gonna grow old

You’ve been living in a wishing well

:: Sky Full Of Treasures ::

Out in the Moonlight
Adrift on the hill 
Appear thousands of stars shimmering
Some say they're the holes to heaven
But they're diamonds to me
Just skyfull of treasures unclaimed

Like a miner for gold
With a hand full of hope
Like a thirst that can never be quenched
So In a world full of sorrow where we beg, steal, and borrow
There’s just some things you can’t take from me
So won’t you lay me down where the sun meets the sea
Set my sail for the treasure that’s waiting for me
I lost my ship in the bottle but my soul washes clean
With a sky full of treasures and a headful of dreams

Wasted and waiting
I'm lost and in need
But my misery is the company that I keep
So in a world full of sorrow where we beg, steal, and borrow
There’s just some things you can’t take from me
So won’t you lay me down where the sun meets the sea
Set my sail for the treasure that’s waiting for me
I lost my ship in the bottle but my soul washes clean
With a sky full of treasures and a headful of dreams

Some say I'm chasing a rainbow and its fading away

:: Set You Free ::

Go on let the sunshine
The Sunshine set you
Free

Take a walk with me
Ill show you things you’ve never seen
And leave your burdens be
Cause they’re to heavy, cant ya see

There’s no time to waste
And no time to hesitate
Cause I need you
And you need me

Chorus:
Wash your sorrows in the river baby
Oh let the water wash you clean, so clean
Go on and tell it, on the mountains open air
Let the sunshine set you free

Take a walk with me
Mother Nature cant you see
That father time will leave
It’s the only certain thing

There’s no time to waste
And no time to hesitate
Cause I need you
And you need me

Chorus:
Wash your sorrows in the river baby
Oh let the water wash you clean, so clean
Go on and tell it, on the mountains open air
Let the sunshine take me

To a place I know so far from here
A place where I can take all my pain
And disappear
Seasons change, but I can always find my way
Oh, let the river drown my pain

Let the sunshine take it all away

Chorus:

Go on let the sunshine,
Sunshine set you
Free

Take a walk with me
Let the sunshine set you free


:: Fools Gold ::

Well I’ve been singing songs
In a different kind of tune
Oh but my melody’s all wrong
See my soul was lost
On the day I met you
And I found things I thought were gone

Chorus:
I’ve seen things I’ve touched
Turn into gold
Well I’ve held my diamonds once
But they’ve all turned to stone
Some say a fool may search
For things that he cant find
Oh, I say the greatest gift
A fool may leave behind, leave behind

Does that make me foolish?
Does that make me blind?
Oh to have you in my hands
And lose you every time
How can something so perfect
Be so hard to see
If I let you spread your wings
Would you come flying back to me

Chorus:

Keep on searchin for my fool’s gold

You see this fool, he finally
Found his gold
Oh lord my diamonds have come home

Chorus:

Keep on searchin for my fool’s gold


:: Can You Feel Me ::

Well I’ve been up and down and down and out
Lost and found and singled out
Can you feel me
Yeah can you feel me
I’ve been sick and tired felt like dyin
I picked myself up off the ground
Can you feel me
Yeah can you feel me
Well now it’s a, times like these
When all you see
Everything inside your mind is a picture
Can’t you see, can you see
Well and it’s a, times like these
When all your thoughts
Everything you need to say is a whisper
When you speak, oh can you speak

Chorus:
Let it out and take it in
Till everything is fine
Let it out and take it in
Oh let me free your mind
Now I freed your mind

Well I have, been in love
I’ve watched it go
But I can’t let myself get to close
for you to feel me
No you can’t feel me?
See I’ve been lied too
And cheated on
But I just kept on movin on
Now you can feel me
Yes you can feel me

Chorus:

Oh and it’s a, times like these
When all you need
Is someone on your side?
Could you help me?
Speak your mind, cause its alright
And its, times like these
All you need
Is a little place to hide
Would you help me?
Leave me be, cause Ill be fine

Chorus:

Can you feel me?
Oh I freed your mind, baby
If you feel me


:: Empty Dreams ::

Runnin on empty dreams
Flyin with a broken wing
Thinking ‘bout how I got this far
I’m feeling like everything is fallin all over me
Thinking ‘bout how I got these scars

Oh as I look back on my life
Something’s I would change if I had the time
You see nothing seems to change it just all remains the same
And I don’t know why

Chorus:
Another day one more night
Shut the door turn out the light
And Ill sleep my way into your dream
Cause you were right and I was wrong
It’s that same sad song that I’ve been singing since the day you had left
And im only waking just a dream again

The house don’t smell like you
And all you put me through
I’m thinking back how you done me wrong
Oh im leaving thoughts of you
Burning pictures too
I’m thinking back how I hurt so long

Chorus:

Oh I look back on my life
Some things I would change if I had the time
Nothing seems to change it just all remains the same
I don’t know why

Chorus:


:: Stronger ::
 
You tell me it’s alright
Just place your hand in mine
You can’t get up on your own
You tell me you don’t mind
Go on and stay the night
You don’t need to be alone

Oh its times like these when we all need a helping hand
Oh its times like these when we all need someone to lean on

Chorus:
To help ya be stronger than you think you can
Oh but you can’t see
It takes longer than you had planned
Go on and carry me
It aint easy but soon you’ll see
If you put your faith in me
And be stronger baby, you and me

You tell me it’s alright
But you’ve lost will to fight
You just need something worthwhile
You say it’s hard to find
But these things they take some time
If you walk the extra mile

Oh its times like these when we all need a helping hand
Oh its times like these when we all need someone to turn to

Chorus:

Chorus:


:: Angel with a Broken Wing ::


Like a perfect looking sunset
On a gold and sandy shore
You came to me
In your face I see the pain
Has this angel lost her wings?
As you turn to me
Though I question my desire
In your eyes I see the fire
That the blind can see
Cause you’re the devil in disguise
And you have lost your will to fly
As the sun fades away

Chorus:
But you set my soul on fire
And you set my spirit free
Oh can an angel with a broken wing
Shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine on me
Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me
Shine your light

On a dark and lonely night
Another star falls from the sky
Did you fall for me?
With one wish I take my time
Thinking how you used to shine
Oh, can you shine for me?

Chorus:

Well, I’ve been looking all around
But I don’t hear a sound
And I’ve been searchin high and low
Baby, I don’t which way to go
Oh my angel with a broken wing
You’re my angel with a broken wing
Oh, my angel with a broke wing

Shine your light on me


:: Two More Days ::



Well it’s been 24 hours since your last phone call
I can’t find any reason at all
To pick my phone and give you a ring
Well I went two more days and nothing at all
Will make me feel the way I fall
I’m lookin at you and you’re walkin away

All this time ive tried to make you mine
Your doin this to me
I made my mind up and oh im movin on
Your doin it all to me

Chorus:
You need two more days
To try and fix this pain
Every time I see you leavin
It all makes me start believin
But you’re two more days turned into yesterday
And im blind if I cant see it
But the world I thought I needed
Just woke up in someone else’s bed today

Well it’s been two long years or maybe more
Since the last time I saw your face before
And I can’t believe im sittin here talking to you
How have you been doin? Who else have you done so wrong
And are you happy with the choices that you made

All this time ive tried to make you mine
Your doin this to me
I made my mind up and oh im movin on
Im doin it all for me

Chorus:

Apology accepted
I hope you find direction
Pray to God it don’t lead you back to me
Me im doin fine
I think about it all the time and im
I just got one thing Im needin to say

That you’re two more days
Went away yesterday
And you’re blind if you can’t see it
The world you loved and cheated
Just woke up in someone’s else’s bed today

Oh I woke up in someone else’s bed today


:: Without You ::

Well I’ve been watchin you for days
And I just love your each and every little sexy ways
And I can’t get you off of my mind
Cause girl I think about you all the time

Chorus:
Without you baby
Oh without you baby
Things aint the same

Well I can go about anywhere
Just as long as I know you’ll be there
Oh and when we’re walkin hand in hand
Everybody knows that I’m your man

Chorus:

When I’m feelin sad and blue
All I do is think of you
And when I’ve got you on my mind
Everything is feeling fine

Oh now baby, now baby
Just as long as I’ve got you
Oh now baby
Just as long as I’ve got you

I’ve said all there is to say
For love like yours
Ill surely never stray
To be with you both day and night
Just to be there holding you so tight

Chorus:


:: Take Me Home ::

Take me home, Lord take me home

I wish you could remember
When 40 hours felt like an 80 hour week
Workin two jobs to keep your family
A roof, new clothes, and food to eat
Setting an example, and teachin your children well
You raised three boys to act like men
With a women you love more than life itself
Oh, more than life itself
Singin take me home

Chorus:
Take me home, Lord take me home
Cause these old bones have walked more miles
And this mind has grown to old
Take me home, Lord take me home
Lay me down where I belong
Cause this old place just aint my home
Wont ya take me home, wont ya take me home
Lord take me home

You always seen the good in life
You never dwelled much on the past
A personality of a clown
An old man, with a young mans past
Now your time has come, to sit back and relax
And let the ones you love the most
Have one last chance to pay you back
One last chance to pay you back
Singin take me home

Chorus:

Chorus:


:: Midnite Ride ::

I’ve been doin fine
I’m just doin time
Oh I got this feelin deep inside
Ill be doin fine
Oh come morning light
Just to have you by my side

Wasted to much time
Oh without you baby
By myself and all alone

Chorus:
So won’t you take me on a midnite ride
So won’t you stay and be my guiding light
Oh won’t you take me on a midnite ride
Ill show you all my dreams
And tell you what you truly mean to me

Well I can’t eat
Oh and I can’t sleep
Oh I’ve lost my strength to carry on
I can’t concentrate
Can’t seem to find my way
Oh I lose myself in sad, sad ol’ songs

I’ve wasted to much time
Oh without you baby
By myself and all alone

Chorus:

Ill show you what you mean to me

Chorus:

Ill show you what you mean to me
If you take me on a midnite ride
Take me on midnite ride
Take me on a midnite ride with you
Oh a midnite ride with you
Take me on a midnite ride with you
Take me on a midnite ride with you
Take me on a midnite ride
On a midnite ride, on a midnite ride
With you
