High Road

I met him on a beaten path
With a fork in the middle and the sun at our backs
Arrows pointing up and down
Different directions to the same old town
I’ll take the high road you take the low
I’ll be the water and you be the stone
I met her at the river’s edge
The water it turned and the sun over head
I watched her jump and carry down
Another way to the same old town
I’ll take the high road you take the low
I’ll be the water and you be the stone
We found the town but I moved on
Made my way into the sun

Hey Love

Hey love this is a letter that you’ll never read
This is a side of me you’ll never see
You had me but I would never speak
Those words out loud
And you’ll never know
First thought each and every morning
And the last I have before I get into bed
And you’ll never know
Every time I see you I get mesmerized
By your smile and those blue eyes
Hey love sometimes this world we live in ain’t so fair
And even though I love you I could never dare
Speak these words out loud
And hey love we’re friends and I don’t wanna mess it up for us
Never want to do something and lose your trust
So I’m ok if you are too
But you’ll never know
When you walk beside me I can’t help but think
Oh how we’d stand if we were holding hands
And you’ll never know when you lean in close just to talk to me
I think, just a little closer and you’d be kissing me.
Hey love sometimes this world we live in ain’t so fair
And even though I love you I could never dare
Speak these words out loud
And hey love we’re friends and I don’t wanna mess it up for us
Never want to do something and lose your trust
So I’m ok if you are too
Hey love this is for you but you will never see
How much you really mean to me
I would change for you I’d do anything you asked me to
But you’ll never know that’s the way it goes and I’m ok if you are too
Hey love this is a letter for you.

Let Go
04:22
|

I’ve never been one to bet on something
That wasn’t a sure thing
I’ve never been the type to put my heart on the line
Just wanted to believe in something
I never stick around just to find out
If my heart will get broken
I’ve never found a man who was worth everything
That I stand to lose
You make me want to try
And I think it’s time to let go.
I’ve been known to be the one who falls in love
And out the very next day
I never stick around to see how it turns out
Just hold on to my stubborn ways
And I’ve always run away when I promised to stay
Just so I wouldn’t get hurt
Held onto to my pride and believed in the lie
That no one could love me that way
You make me want to try
And I think it’s time to let go
I want to change that starting tonight
I can’t deny the look in your eyes
You make me want to try
And I think it’s time to let go

Curse The Rain
04:23

We were born in to the wind
The howling gale’s our only friend
As we fall into this town
The people all pour out
Into the wind
Our lives they fall endlessly
A soggy story repeating
As we’re raging down the streets
Dragging everyone we meet
Down with us
Never ever curse the rain
We will wash away the sin of man
Let the wind blow back your hair and tears
Never ever curse the rain
As light it pours into our mist
Colors fly, a lofty kiss
As all eyes turn toward the sky
Fixated as we try
To fall to you
Always aiming for your skin
An open mouth inviting
Take a drink to quench the thirst
To fuel the burning lust of man
Never ever curse the rain
We will wash away the sin of man
Let the wind blow back your hair and tears
Never ever curse the rain

My momma grew up in a tiny little town
Nothing but the Carolina trees all around
Crystal clear creeks and the red dirt roads
Cute little country girl pretty as a rose
She grew up quiet she grew up slow
Woke up with the rooster crow
Said her prayers on knees at night
And spent her days in southern light
She’d go walking down the trail
Cane pole in hand
Bare feet dragging in the cool white sand
Laying in the road looking at the stars
Sipping sweet tea from a mason jar
The pines are growing tall
The oaks are full of moss
Family had to move cause daddy is the boss
Ended up here in Florida now
I’m the little country girl that goes to town
I grew up loud I grew up fast
City streets instead of grass
Waiting for the summer when
I could go to momma’s town again
She’d go walking down the trail
Cane pole in hand
Bare feet dragging in the cool white sand
Laying in the road looking at the stars
Sipping sweet tea from a mason jar

Bones

Well these old bones feel like they’re tryin’ to kill me
Well these old bones, they pop and crack and moan
And these old bones feel like they’re tryin’ to tell me
That I’ve been living my life so damn wrong
Ain’t done a lick of yoga since 2003
My running shoes are old and pearly white
Only gym I’ve ever been in was an old garage
We sat down on them weights and drank all night
Bought a ten speed bicycle with plans to ride it to
The store, to work, and all around the town
Hung her in a place of honor in my studio
Dammit if I never took her down
These days I get my exercise by lifting up the beers
And pouring amber liquid down my throat
Ain’t the empty calories that really bother me
It’s the empty cans that really get my goat

Candor and Stone

Well I told you I love you a long time ago
I promised to always be true
I said that I’d never leave your side
There’s only so much I can do
If you’re gonna go just go
If you can’t stay on let me know
Cause I built my life on clouds and lies
Instead of on candor and stone
You told me that I was your world
Besting all others above
Promised things I said I didn’t need
As long as I had your love
If you’re gonna go just go
If you can’t stay on let me know
Cause I built my life on clouds and lies
Instead of on candor and stone
Well I watched as you loaded the car
Your records your clothes your guitar
You drove away without one word to me
I sat there and I let you go
Cause if you’re gonna go just go
If you can’t stay on let me know
Cause I built my life on clouds and lies
Instead of on candor and stone
