CARRY ON
Wish we couldn’t see, what we cannot be
You mind runs from sin, but only cold cash wins
You want to save this life; grab your pistols and your knives
You’re going to fight a foe; that you cannot find
Chorus
But I only shed one black tear
I don’t show the Devil my fears
Step up to the plate and swing
Knock that bad boy out of the ring
Riding down the windy, Eastside road
The grapevines line the highway and the moon steals the show
I throttle this motorcycle like, it, can , fly
Taken the corners at 99
Twisting and turning, this bike carries me on
Corner after corner to the; break of dawn
They say I’ll have to fight a foe that I’ll never find
I just realized; I had to, look inside

I Know I'm Not Mistaken

I KNOW I'M NOT MISTAKEN
I know I'm not mistaken
Of all the things misplaced
Been goin' on awhile
Goin' in and out of style
Oh maybe we'll slow down
Pick the pieces off the ground
And the powers that may be
Stop fightin' endlessly
CHORUS
Oh Yeah...
Oh what a silly boy to sing this song
about all this carryin' on
And they say that this old country road
May still carry us home
There's no amount of waiting
As the secrets get foretold
What do you need to be happy
To keep you satisfied
My friends are my lost home
A place to reconcile
And this dusty path I wonder
Keeps my eye trained on the prize
Chorus
So much beauty not wanting wasted
Protects the secrets we all seek
What do you need to be happy
To keep you satisfied
Saw a man's life get taken
Hard to tell the hero from the thief
And just as things seem broken
Need to rise up and speak
Chorus

Like a Fire in the Rain

LIKE A FIRE IN THE RAIN
What's this darkness I've become
What is this dream on the run
How older do these walls need to age
To grow a forest back from the grave
CHORUS
I will call you down
I will call you down
I will call you down
I will call you down
Like a Fire in the Rain
Like a Fire in the Rain
Like a Fire in the Rain
What has happened in this age
A rusty cage and a withering flame
How much have I passed on by
How much have I left behind
Chorus
Where have all the Heroes gone
Why are all the lovers on the run
How much wind does it take to carry this song
Before the hands of time run dry
Chorus
I have the strength of a Giant
I have the heart of a Lion
Speak the wisdom of all of the ages
My life is measured in song
Chorus

LOOSE GRAVEL
Loose gravel on the road
And I forgot what I've been told
And I'm just trying to get home
Loose gravel on the road
And I forgot what I've been told
And I'm just trying to get home
Excuse me if I've used you to find out whose who
But don't try to make me normal, so you can feel cool
How fast can I go without been unforgivin
How many minutes, the ones that feel like days
CHORUS
Loose gravel on the road
And I forgot what I've been told
And I'm just trying to get home x2
What's that place Iv'e been , held a broken piece of me
Hung there all day, wonderin' what to say
Went down that dusty path, asked a question I'd forgot
Sittin' in the sun, my shadow at my back
Chorus
Retraced those steps, so could be undone
6000 miles from nowhere, a place that I call home
How fast can I go without been unforgivin
How many minutes, the ones that feel like days
Chorus x3

Love in a Minor Key

LOVE IN A MINOR KEY
Baby, I can only love you
In a minor key
That's the Devil inside of me
Stay a little while
Let me run away
I've got somethings say
I've got some things to do
Stare a little longer
At what that sign has to say
Which way is harder
Which way is farther
Baby, I can only love you
In a minor key
With what's in front of me
And I never ever want to make you cry
And I can watch the sun slip away
Maybe, I can still seize the day
Oh Yes, Oh Yes
Don't let me drift away
Baby, I can only Love you
In a minor key
That's the Devil inside of me
Hey Lady, Do you really love me
Do you really care
Do you really see me
I wonder, what is means to be me
What it means to be you
The meaning of being alone
And maybe, I'll have some time to think
Leave my heart up with the stars
My mind can wonder on
Baby, I can only love you
In a minor key
With whats in front of me
And please, dont ever see me cry
And I can let the sun slip away
And maybe we can still seize the day
oh yea, oh yea
Don't let me slip away
Baby, I can only love you
In a minor key
That's the Devil inside of me
Baby, I can only love you
In a minor key
That's this Devil inside of me
And Baby, I can only love you
In a minor key
That's this Love inside of me

Soft Sweet melody

SOFT SWEET MELODY
I see in the clouds a story
Of a king and a queen and the glory
And I see a tear in that man's eye
Of a life he's live in lie
He dreams of circuits and satellites
Things that roar through the sky
She dreams of soft sweet melodies
Of the moon, the sea, and the night
CHORUS
Now you are a giant, larger than your worries
Strong enough to journey
Away from them
Tell her mind is changing
By the roving of her eye
Her hair is like a raven
Eyes as black as the night sky
That soft sweet melody
That warms me inside
Depends on what your tied too
Depends on what you've lied too
Oh that sweet childhood innocence
Of that innocence may turn to rust and
those bones surely to dust
Will you learn to fly to get a better view
Tell a story that only you know is true
Will you sing a song only you know the tune
Alone is a solid stage

THERE'S A WINDOW
There's a window, of time passing by
Day by day, don't let it slip away
My love is with you, through the ocean of our dreams
Sail away, through the sea of the unknown
Driftin', a boy and his thrown
My love is with you, through the ocean of our dreams
There's a lady, who is gentle and kind
With wisdom, tough to unwind
My love, is with you
Through the ocean of our dreams

TUMBLEWEED
Many mountains, many mountains I've climbed
Crossed them in my head
crossed them in my heart
Crossed them in my soul
CHORUS
And the silent King, and the gracious Queen
Don't let me roll away again
Shine your light, spread your grace
Like a tumbleweed, don't let me blow away
Hey little darlin'
Can I carry your pain
Can I carry your pain
So you can shine on through
Teach us all how to love again, like that very first time
Here comes the Springtime
Push those winter blues away
Push those winter blues away
Push those winter blues away
Look at all those bright peopl
Lighting up the way
Lighting up the way
Hey little darlin'
Can I carry your pain
Can I carry your pain
So you can shine on through
Teach us all how to love again, like that very first time

When I Was Younger
04:21

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER
When I was young I wanted to see
Where I could not go, and I knew not to be
And every time I lived up high, wanted to fly, knew not to try
There's one place my mind ceased to be, my heart skipped a beat,
my hands couldn't grasp
CHORUS
I don't know what to do, where to go
In times like these
I don't have money to burn, food to feed
Those in need
I don't have room to breathe, space to bleed,
In my own head
I wondered about so many things
Ships on the sea, birds in the sky
Love has touched my heart indeed
Tore it apart, stitched it back up
Hatred has burned a hole, left a scar
Built up a wall
I've hammered a thousand nails, built many strong homes
Never my own
Wisdom doesn't grow on tress
Forged in the mind, tempered in the heart
Will I ever get to see, whats ahead of me
Before it falls behind
Chorus

Girl with a Flower Crown

GIRL WITH A FLOWERED CROWN
Don't want to work today
She's to pretty to walk away
Her long hair seams the pillow
Knockout body here to stay
Voice is like a sparrow
Skin like the glassy sea
Eyes will set you assunder
Sultry feeling in your day
Don't know how much time has passed
Or if it's gonna last
Been in this web so long
Don't know where my life has gone
Man may hunt the beast
Think the lady is his to keep
But he knows in the back of his bones
She's been setting a trap for weeks
You can hardly blame the lady
Wearing the flowered crown
She may pull on your puppet strings
But astray she will not set us bound
Marchin' off towards infinity
Starin' off towards eternity
The devil may laugh at the loss of love
But not when she's around
Not when She's around
