Oh the Coo Coo, she's a pretty bird She warbles as she flies She does not go Coo Coo, til the fourth day of July Going to build me, a log cabin On a mountain, so high So I can see it comin' Like an eagle in the sky I played cards in Texas, I played cards in LA I'll bet you five dollars, I'll beat you today Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds I know you of old You robbed my poor pockets, of silver and gold Rye whiskey, Rye whiskey I know you of old You robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold. Oh the Coo Coo, she's a pretty bird She warbles as she flies She does not drink water, she only drinks wine Sometimes I feel younger, sometimes I feel old Sometimes it's so sunny, sometimes it's so cold Oh the Coo Coo, she's a pretty bird She warbles as she flies She does not go coo coo, til the fourth day of July

HKNEE HIGH WATERS ave you ever met a soul, said they wouldn't leave Well now it's your ship and it's a wreck at sea Well there you are, standin' in the water Up to your knees, beggin' darlin' please Oh, My Love Oh, My Love Don't let me go Well they say that the sea, holds all the keys And when I leave this world, that's where I'll be free When I was young, I thought that this place Was just for me to have a little fun Oh, My Love Oh, My Love Don't let me go I've known many men, took quick way around But I always knew that hard work could be found 1000 words fall like paper dolls One stare from you will be the death of us all Oh, My Love Oh, My Love Don't let me go Oh, My love Oh, My love Don't let me go credits from HIGH WATER

Foregiveness 07:01
lyrics
buy track
I have become the devil, to see that I am divine I have been living with demons, last night I left them behind In my life I've sought forgiveness, with my love I will forgive I have lied to see what truth is, burns heal smoke clears the way Oh my love, I have returned to you You we're there all along While my head was turned I have deceived many angels, including the one that's myself I have been living in poverty, because I could not see my wealth I have been defined by hate, I have been defined by pain By the power vested in me, the water washes it away The water washes it away Oh my love, I have returned to you You we're there all along While my head was turned I have become the devil, to see that I am divine I have been living with demons, last night I left them behind In my life I've sought forgiveness, with my love I will forgive I have lied to see what truth is, burns heal smoke clears the way Oh my love, I have returned to you You we're there all along While my head was turned

I'm sorry you had a bad day I'm sorry in so many ways Never meant for this to be More hurt than happy But don't, worry too hard cuz you're Amazing No, don't worry too hard cuz you're Amazing I don't know what to say I've tried in so many ways Don't want to stop you now So I guess I won't be around But don't, worry too hard cuz you're Amazing No, don't worry too hard cuz you're Amazing Give it space and give it time This knot will surely unwind Feed the dreams you want to believe Get rid of those dark memories But don't, worry too hard cuz you're Amazing No, don't worry too hard cuz you're Amazing We've both been through so much In time we'll both feel free Don't expect you to see my light But, Ill never forget your sight But don't, worry too hard cuz you're Amazing No, don't worry too hard cuz you're Amazing No, don't worry too hard cuz YOU'RE AMAZING!!!

Unbroken Adventure 06:25
lyrics

Standing alone with you, I ain't alone at all My conscience is clear, got nowhere to fall What you do, you've been doing to us all But what we solve, we resolve for the world Well it's drawing to a close, my hands held high There'll be no place to run, there'll be no place to crawl Oh, millions of miles of grace from you This gypsy soul will never die Fields of dreams and nowhere to run

Break My Bones 03:47
lyrics

Break my bones and steal my eyes I'll just pin my soul to the next sunrise See that grave, well it ain't the right size Think I'll just take the long way around I am noble man too Don't have as much gold as you do But I've got something to say This conversation doesn't have to go your way

I Often Wonder 04:34
lyrics
buy track
All the places I've been All the faces I've seen All the dreams I've had and I don't want to forget them all again I just want to be called free today I've seen smart men invent watches and wine I've seen smart men invent guns and the divine and I don't want to be at odds with you I just want to be called free today I've seen men sell their souls for diamonds and gold I've seen them sell it for some fancy new clothes And I don't want to be sold away I just want to be called free today Sometimes I think that we're all insane Sometimes I think we've been playing the wrong board game And I don't want to be at odds with you I just want to be called free today I have a daughter and she's pretty cool I often wonder if I've taught her well And if I've taught her how to use her heart

The paints have all fallen softly now The canvas is covered in color It wasn't the dream I expected to have But with you it was the dream I always wanted Don't worry now No, don't worry now. No, don't worry now I'll be right up ahead I chose you to walk the line To weather storms and not fall behind You weathered all of our toughest storms and laughed through all of our calmer seas Mistakes were made and they matter none Questions asked and no answers found I didn't always hear what you had to say But, I've felt you with me night and day Your beauty was never lost on me And your grace is such a sight to see You stayed steadfast through our darkest times And showed me that I could be the light

Box of Bones 05:02
lyrics
buy track
This ain't the line to repent Heaven's money already been spent For you, for me That moments come and went That grace already been spent for you, for me This world will ebb 'til it's gone Everything saved in my song For you, for you And I float, until I fade away Memories can be dangerous In a neighborhood of kings that want to piss On you, on me Taste like time has turned the tides Won't foil me, don't serve those lies On me, on me We pay with pain for all that truth We pay with blood for all that lust On you, on me Steal that crown from the ground Sort the real of the Devil's deal On you, on me Feel what's there in your blood Sort the fiction from the fun For me, For you You can't steal your past back And take those thoughts from the Box of Bones From me, for you Hold those thoughts, get a glimpse of real She's said before, it's all about feel For you, from me Pull those diamonds from the mud From that sea of misery On me, on you You can't steal your past back Take those thoughts from the Box of Bones From me, for you Then there's anger and there's pain Then there finally came the rain On me, On you Use those eyes to get ahead It's my heart you want to be fed To you, from me That those choices be forgotten Strength realized and gifts begotten On me, on me
