Into the Light 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Peace to you my brothers There's no need to fight Just love one another If only for tonight Dry your tears oh mothers Its gonna be alright Tell your sons and your daughters You'll help then through the night (We gotta go) into the light (We gotta go) into the light We're all pilrgrims on this journey to nowhere Just tryin' to get by Ask yourself are you just standing there Or are you ready to fly? Our hearts and souls are bought and sold By those who live the lie Our hearts and souls will fade from gold If we don't make it right (We gotta go) into the light (We gotta go) into the light Pain is only temporary But scars, they last forever Still I turn the other cheek Its how we gotta live together It doesn’t matter where we live How we look or who we love We need to learn how to give Before our time here is done (We gotta go) into the light (We gotta go) into the light

Digging for Gold 04:17
lyrics
buy track
'm digging for gold through things unsaid I'm digging for gold all through my head I'm looking for the right words to say what needs said I'm looking for the right words digging through my head Then I realize when it comes in view I open my eyes and I see it's you It's you....It's you.... It's you...It's you.... Digging for gold through my back pages Looking for inspiration from the radio sages It's hard to find the right melody I'm digging for gold, why can't I see? Then I realize when it comes in view When I open my eyes and I see it's you It's you....It's you.... It's you...It's you....

Next Time 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Life's full of second chances I know, I've had more than a few But the next time will be the last time That I do this dance with you Next time I won’t fight To keep you by my side I won't come back for more. Next time I won’t stand by or take it all in stride I'll keep myself afloat Moving on from you Every time I get the nerve to break up I'm calling you, begging you to make up Letting go feels just the same as staying Stay or go, either way my heart is breaking Next time I won’t fight To keep you by my side I won't come back for more. Next time I won’t stand by or take it all in stride I'll keep myself afloat Moving on from you

Hard to Please 04:26
lyrics
buy track
told you my secrets Cause you said that you'd believe 'em I painted you a picture 'Cause you said you couldn't see it Girl, you know, you're so hard to please I wrote you a song So you could sing along I built you a palace Just to show off my talents Girl, you know, you're so hard to please Girl, you know, you're so damn hard to please I dug you an ocean Built a boat that you can float on I planted you a garden But you left it forgotten Girl, you know, you're so hard to please Girl, you know, you're so hard to please Girl, you know you're so damn hard to please

Blackstone 05:10
lyrics
buy track
There was a time I thought we'd never be apart Another time and place we used to beat as one heart As time slipped by, the cracks grew wide between us Another fight, who knows who’s right? How did this happen? On old Blackstone I'm sinking like a stone To where I’ll be laid to rest On down I go. This tranquil feeling is so fleeting My peaceful easy feeling turned to seething There’s no turning back after you hear the crack of bone on bone Your dirty hands, they know firsthand, what you've sown On old Blackstone I'm sinking like a stone To my final resting place On down I go. As I float down, I see your face fading out One last look…No regret or doubt We used to say that this love could never die And now it’s gone.....

Oh, oh, oh, oh, save me Oh, oh, oh, oh , save me All I got is what you give It’s what I carry 'round with me Empty pockets and an empty heart Your nothing is my everything You're kick to my head is what I crave It keeps me coming around Babe I can't stop loving you You're the queen I've crowned Oh, oh, oh, oh, save me Oh, oh, oh, oh , save me I'm addicted to your dirty love It's the best I've ever had Babe, I can't get enough of you Why do you treat me so bad? Getting dragged behind you Like a dog on a leash It’s like living in a fantasy My soul is yours to squeeze Yeah, folks think that I’m crazy They say you treat me so cruel But this dirty love you're giving me Is like my shining jewel Oh, oh, oh, oh, save me Oh, oh, oh, oh , save me from you I'm addicted to your dirty love It's the best I've ever had Babe, I can't get enough of you Why do you treat me so bad?

Record Store Girl 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Record store girl with jet black hair And eyes of electric blue Whenever I was in the city baby I would stop by to visit with you Talkin' Pearl Jam, The Clash, Nirvana and how they never really liked the fame I'd really like to get to know you baby but I Don't even know your name Record store girl You really rocked my world You and me, I can't wait to see....yeah! Hello, I love you baby But I don't even know your name You loved me two times at the roadhouse baby You let me jump in your game I sailed my crystal ship down, To your bungalows But the people are strange and as I rearrange My baby, you slammed the Doors! Record store girl You really rocked my world You and me, can't wait to see....yeah! More and more I'd think of us Listenin' to vinyl you'd spin Daydreamin' about that night with you Now it's over before it begins Sign on the door says "Closed for Good" It's such a cryin' shame I don't think I'll ever find you baby And I'm never gonna be the same!

Half My Life 03:47
lyrics

It seems like only yesterday So long ago, that day in May We were nineteen, you said that you were mine I remember the butterflies , being on cloud nine Ooooh my Marita You've been mine ,through good times and strife Ooooh Marita You've been mine over half my life. Eight years later we were married First just two of us, now a family How far we've come over all these years Made friends so dear, sad and happy tears Ooooh my Marita You've been mine, through good times and strife Ooooh Marita Hard to believe, over half my life.

Don't Even Think About Me 04:07
lyrics
buy track
The sound of pavement on tires at a 100k keeps me awake Been gone so long, I don't know how much I can take Another night on the road- headlights flashing by High beams blinding, this long road is winding through the night But I'm alright. Don't even think about me. Yeah, I'll get by, don't even think about me. All these hotels/motels look the same to me I just got my guitar to keep me company The beds are so cold without you lying here I just close my eyes to make you reappear But I'm alright. Don't even think about me. Yeah, time goes by, don't even think about me. All of these people Just passing by All of these people Just getting by They ain't got no faces They ain't got no cares They're heading different places But going nowhere But I'm alright. Don't even think about me. Yeah, time goes by, don't even think about me.

Take A Breath 04:21
lyrics
buy track
I open my eyes, I focus on the blinds Pulled tight across my window Shutting out the light Bottles strewn throughout the room Another sleepless night Darkness turns to light, and I'm alone Feeling contrite It's been three days, can't give up the haze Another drink to drown my sorrow...but it remains It stains my heart, but it dulls the pain Can't tear my thoughts away From when you walked out and closed the door I don't want to feel you anymore A ray of light breaks through the curtains and warms my face, I feel embraced I scrape myself up off the floor Dust myself off, I can take a little more The weight is heavy, gotta push it off my chest I feel a pulse, I take a breath I take a breath
