I Stand Alone
02:51

When the sun shines in the morning
it can whisper in the trees
And the world can take this moment's time
from me
the promise of those morning's
still echoes in the fire
as we fought to the keep the world at bay
a while
The crumpled bits of paper are still scarttered on the floor
the big dark world awaits outside that door
I now know
This world can be so cold
You wait for me in the morning light
alone
Would cry me a river
Would cry me a river
Walk the wire for me
Would you sya that you love
Only me
Would you stare at into the distance
like your looking for the sun
will the weight of this world
make you run
The times we've said we're sorry
are still ringing in my head
and I look to you to heal my wounds
again
Cause this is my salvation
and everything I've ever known
without your hand in this world I stand alone

American Blue

She left Texas
Said she hates the smoke in the air
She dont know me no
but singing a song and too numb to care
out on a highway now
the big wheels
rolling round and round
she's thinking of dreaming but winds up screaming
and feels like
letting go
In the morning light
on the open road
you've got to find the strength inside to
save your soul
save your soul
He left memphis
black cadillac made of gold
he was sick of religion yeah
says it's chipping away his fragile soul
he's out on the highway now
big wheels roll around and round
He says is is thinking of freedom and his long lost dreams
and feels like
letting go
In the morning light
on the open road
you've got to find the strength inside to
save your soul
save your soul
truck stop waitress and the broken hearted
feel just like a ten ton weight
another cup of coffee and the dear departed
let you know it's far too late
In the morning light
your dreams erase the real
In the morning light
you pray for your soul and the motherfucking California sky

The Victory Song
02:30
|
|||
You always played the game to win
a daily race to beat the wind
always knowing that we're never looking back
the painted stones will guide you home
and the autumn skies the winds a blowin
and the desert smells just like the morning rain
on and on the victory song keeps playing
it sounds just like a foghorn in my head
and if I don't awake again this time tomorrow
please grab your boots and run that race again
holding tight to the morning light
gonna make damn sure we get it right
always knowing that we're never holding back
the phone is ringing off the hook
is there something there we overlooked
is your spirit strong enough to run
on and on the victory song keeps playing
and it sounds just like that old familiar tune
and if I don't see you when that desert wind comes blowing
I will grab my boots and run that race for you

Invincible
03:44
|
|||
Yesterday is so far away
do I know you now?
We're holding on
and letting out
We'll break free from this town
Invincible
We were invincible
We were staring at the sun
Invincible, Invincible
Our lives had just begun
I left you there on a windy walk
So young and all alone
Imagination can be bulletproof
It shapes the lives that we lead
Is it a state of mind
And some get left behind
Discovering that we bleed
Invincible
Yeah we're invincible
We're floating on a breeze
Invincible, Invincible
Tell me do you believe?
And we'd walk
And we'd fall
And in between were the youthful dreams
Of what we're taking from this world
Invincible
Yeah we're invincible
We're walking ten feet tall
Invincible, Invincible
The memories of them all
Invincible
Yeah we're invincible
Hanging out on a breeze
Invincible, Invincible
I realize now we bleed

The Valley (PJM)
04:04
|
|||
The summer sun makes the asphalt shine
and the reflections look like gold
Quiet summer breeze is blowing now
and you can feel this valley's soul
Just yesterday when the world was mine
I held a baby in my arms
The child is grown and the small town sleeps
and the river rolls on and on
Remember rainy days we'd sit outside building castles made of gold
Remember how we used to sing our songs and we'd try to save the world
The heroes and villians they sure remember you
Remember all the times you needed me
And you never knew I needed you
And distant storms seem far away
a quiet valley on these days
if you're lucky you can hear their laughter still
cutting through this summer's haze
Now they're grown and they won't be coming home
This is the world and the town I knew and I loved it all along
Remember rainy days we'd sit outside building castles made of gold
Remember how we used to sing our songs and we'd try to save the world
The heroes and villians they sure remember you
Remember all the times you needed me
And you never knew I needed you
This is our home

Broken
03:34
|
|||
The more you lose
The more you feel you've lost
Broken hearts and weathered homes
They're worth the cost
The more you live
The more you feel the burn
You're trying to make sense of this
Forgetting all you've learned
Broken, she is broken
She is broken
And lost
She left him on a sunny day
Ten years ago last June
He says his spirit slipped away
When he heard the news
Now he's carrying a briefcase
And locket in his hand
Trinkets of a broken world
and everything they planned
Broken, he is broken
he is broken
And lost
And everyday we're getting on and carrying this weight
And everyday we're looking for those sunny days again
I know you feel every single day
Holding on and letting go
just trying to find our way
Broken, we are broken
we are broken
And lost

Summer Skies
03:15
|

Today
We’re gonna let it be
We’re gonna let the world that we’re trying to love
Fall at our feet
Today
We’ll let them get away
We’re soaking in the summer before it rains
And they can wait
You’re thinking that you’re falling
And you’re knowing all the while
That you might get burned
You’re feeling all alone
And you’re knowing you’re exposed
And you might get hurt
You might get hurt
And the fireflies burn the summer skies
And whisper to us dreams of days gone by
So lost in you
They we’ll let them get away
But only for today
Only for today

Too Soon
03:36
|

A baby girl arrived one day and took our hearts with an angel's grace
The world flew by and she ran one day to me
I want to stop this world from spinning and try to stop these days from slipping
through my hands
I want to hold my girl forever and have her need me to protect her
but I can't, I know I can't
It's just too soon, It's way too fast
To watch you try to live your life without me
and understand it ain't about me, Anymore
Anymore
It's just way to soon
We tried to show you everything our deepest thoughts and wildest dreams
as we watched those precious days and weeks
fly by
I want to stop this world from turning and try to stop these days from burning
Through my hands
I want to hold my girl forever but she is grown and and the baby's left her so I can't
I know I can't
It's just too soon, It's way too fast
To watch you build your life without me
and understand that it ain't about me, Anymore
Anymore
It's just way to soon
It's just too soon, but we're so damn proud
We've watch you take on everything
You're biggest fears and wildest dreams
and understand that it ain't about me, Anymore
Anymore
It's just way to soon

One in a Million

One in a million
Takes your breath away
One in your lifetime
You feel something inside you change
I let you go
I let you fly
Truth be told well I set you free
And you somehow found your way back to me
And deep down now inside you know
You're mine
And I want to thank you girl
For always loving me
For making all those starless nights
Brighter than they seemed
And I want to love you girl
More than I can show
Cause you're one in a million girl
You're one in a million
I just wanted you to know

Keep Our Love Alive
02:28
|
|||
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you're thinking that this could be over
I can tell by the tone of your voice
That you think that you've given your all
Can we run
Can we rise above
Will you help me fight this fire
Or let it all go by us
And bleed our love
Bleed our love
I can tell by the look in your eyes
That you're thinking that this could be over
I can tell by the tone of your voice
That you think that you've given your all
Can we run
Can we rise above
Will you help me fight this fire
Or let it all go by us
Can we fly
And finally win this fight
Or will we have to face reality
and watch our love go by
Help Me
Because I do not think
I can make it on my own
Help Me
You're the one true love
I've ever known
Will you help me fight this fire
to keep our love alive
To keep our love alive

The Long Way Home
03:43
|
|||
An Endless Summer Day on a Sunny Beach
A five year old
And the love he keeps
For his momma
She looks at him and knows it's way too fast
Is there somehow we can make this last
a little longer
Can we open up the windows and drive real slow
and pick our favorite tunes on the radio
And sing our songs
to keep the world away
Can we
Take the long way home
Oh the long way home
Tonight
Ten years later under summer skies
Driving movies and those burning nights
promises that meant their lives
and more
Will you love me
And always hold me tight
Will try to make me your one and only love
on those young and warm summer nights
Can we
Take the long way home
Oh the long way home
Tonight
We love every moment and live to win it
You ain't living life unless your in it
Try to find the love in every single day
Hour by hour and we face our fears
and the time that's left seems to disappear
I'm not sure, but I've been told you'll wait
Decades later and a loving wife
she grabs his hand and hold it tight
and whispers how she's loved this life and more
Well, we lived here
and faced the world on our own
and in between well we lived our dreams
and took the long way home
