nothing to show for it but I’m still chasing my dreams got grey in my beard and cramps in my hands but I’ll be damned if I walk away honey that ain’t me you know I’m always chasing straights gonna win it all back some day they say a bird in the hand is more than enough but I’d rather play my luck see I’ve got a plan and I’ll be damned if I walk away honey that ain’t me you know I’m always chasing straights gonna win it all back some day 11/10/2017 0 Comments SettlingThe sun is shining in
warming up your side of the bed and the dog is barking to go out but I can't seem to come around I've got nowhere to be and that's fine by me Oh Darling, lately I've been feeling so melancholy Now the dust is settling on the shelves that held your things and our once burning love is just ashes scattered across the hearth I've got nowhere to be and that's fine by me Oh Darling, lately I've been feeling so melancholy Life on the mend 8/29/2017 0 Comments First FlightI was raised to be bigger than I am
by a young girl's idea of a man but somewhere along the way I strayed away from my mother's smothering hands you know with me I've always been at extremes hell bent on trouble or wallowing with no in between and I don't know where I'll be ten years from now but I know that I've got ten years to figure it out and I was taught to love by a girl who got none so I buried my heart and hit the road with a taste for the unknown you know with me I've always been at extremes hell bent on trouble or wallowing with no in between and I don't know where I'll be ten years from now but I know that I've got ten years to figure it out I've been away, you could call it a phase, but I needed a change so I moved away, hoping for that change, but I stayed the same you know with me I've always been at extremes hell bent on trouble or wallowing with no in between and I don't know where I'll be ten years from now but I know that I've got ten years to figure it out 8/29/2017 0 Comments At What CostOh what a time to be alive
selling our rights for a piece of the pie they've got gold on their minds and no thought for life so long as they get their slice What's blood on their hands if they can rest in a big mansion? Countless souls are lost and they thrive, but at what cost? Politicians lie through their teeth trying to take my voice from me Oh but I can fend for myself I don't need them to know my worth What's blood on their hands if they can rest in a big mansion? Countless souls are lost and they thrive, but at what cost? At what cost? 8/29/2017 0 Comments Black Sheep or Prodigal SonTired is he who walks tirelessly
with no direction of getting swept away on second winds and never knowing when to say when What's a life with no time to unwind And divert your eyes from the path and the arduous task of living with your past Wary grows he of trying to get a leg up in a world thats got him by the ankle and living his life down caught in an uphill grind What's a life with no time to unwind And divert your eyes from the path and the arduous task of living with your past Tired is he, tired is he, tired is he of just getting by nullified by the demands of life 8/29/2017 0 Comments HauntFor all these years that I've been away
you found me, and my shame for all these years I've been behaved I guess you had to see what's become of me Oh you haunt me Oh you've stayed with me All this time I've lived with this hate crippled by my mistakes an empty shell of my former self too afraid to ever make waves Oh you haunt me Oh you've stayed with me Let me grow the fault is mine and mine alone but please let me go 8/29/2017 0 Comments WaningI miss the table where you'd sit and take my hands
you'd wipe away the filth under my nails and talk me down from a long day in the fields oh Adelaide how I miss the days when we walked in sync oh the mountains we did shake for all the years we shared I have nothing left to show for it now and I apologize for all that I did I never mean't to cause you harm I await the day that we can look back and remember all the fun yeah that despite it all we had our time in the sun I collect your things, artifacts of a waning dream the man that I was is gone and I'll have to learn how to walk alone through the northern cold with out the warmth of your support and Adelaide, this could take a while but I swear I'll stand up tall soon I'll learn from it all for all the years we shared I have nothing left to show for it now and I apologize for all that I did I never mean't to cause you harm I await the day that we can look back and remember all the fun yeah that despite it all we had our time in the sun 8/29/2017 0 Comments Searching for MeaningYou know this road
is flat for miles I know where I'm going because it's been tread in style see a nine to five for my whole life that ain't no compromise that I can oblige when it's dark can you hear me from the road, out there howling are you longing to hold me in your arms where I once belonged the nights get so lonely and the lights get so bright honey, it's a fight I've been losing with no end in sight and all these roads they lead me away keep me from believing it would be right to stay and so it goes searching for meaning and sleeping out in the cold when it's dark can you hear me from the road, out there howling are you longing to hold me in your arms where I once belonged the nights get so lonely and the lights get so bright honey, it's a fight I've been losing with no end in sight The wind, it sings over the plains she’s calling out your name and I feel I’m changed now the yellow moon it lulls me to sleep there's nothing left of me but dreams I mean to keep 8/29/2017 0 Comments IntentionsWhen I was young I often said
I'd die alone an optimist with nothing left but a heart made stone and oh it made me see things through blue shades it made me someone I hate so with a tarnished soul and bruised ego i left the state to the open plains in search of a sense of belonging and there you found me worn, tired, and hungry starving for your company now here we lie, our breath in the night staring at constellations your hand in mine, our legs intertwined, we laid out our intentions but I know this will pass and soon I'll be alone again |
