Lyrics:

And oh, well as I fell, I tried my best to carry on. And oh, I couldn’t change myself, cause I find that I would rather Chorus: Carry on, woah, Even though, you know that nothing feels, the same. So carry on, woahh. And oh, well as I felt, The weight of inconsistent swells. I dug my heel into the sand, but I, Heard them mean for me to carry on, and on and on I could wait for you or just move on, my dear. Where I belong, But I just need for you to go. Carry on, woahh Even though, you know That nothing feels, the same. So carry on, woahh.

Lyrics:

Cold fell away as I slip to the sun, tangled in you for the first time in months. We’re sinking back down, down, down, down falling back into ourselves. If settling down with you means more than empty words we’d work it out. Oh, in a way it’s alright, you pulled me out from inside. And level me now. You gotta hold oh oh oh…. You’d moved away, found a curious life. One with an equally strange kind of guy. You're blurring my eyes, I can’t say if I’ve been pushed until I’m gone. Now, these days I feel fine. With you in a glass by my side. I swallow you down. The sun came up above the city I’m awake, my heart is in my chest

Lyrics:

When we first left, I tried to speak. Cause when we’re home we both pretend to sleep. I can’t recall colder skies, driving her back through that night She’s catching her breath She tells me now: “We’re quiet, so I wanna go home.” I’m holding my breath to keep her now, but she has gotta know, i gotta stop biding time just to say. Don’t bite your lip in restraint. You and my friends, a glass of wine spilling your heart like I don’t mind. I’m holding my breath To hear you now say what you should’ve when we were alone. I’m catching my breath to keep it down I gotta find the words I gotta stop biding time just to say. Don’t bite your lip in restraint. You slur your lines just to blame, oh and I know it all just sounds the same. All the things that I can replace. Oh and if you want me to change I’d have given you a go. Been waiting up through the days, follow through when you will. I’ve been waking to the sun, I break into a run, I’m telling everyone, I’ll call it. I’ve been waking to the sun, I break into a run, I’m telling everyone, I’ll call it now. you got you got you got me now. you got you got you got me now.

Lyrics:

When you woke across the sea the day before we first would meet, had you given a thought of me? Or who I’d be? Turn me over through endless seas and endless dreams. Far from me to change a mountain built from waves, guarded by the storms, and years of endless rain. Passed, away through the reeds, toward home in the quiet of sleep. Your boat touched the shore, did you think of me? And when she left It rained for days. The flooded roads, well they split the lake. And I’d given you all my love, And all I’ve done. In the weight of the winter’s sway, well I watched you change. I’ve been calling, dressed for the weather. A rented coat, and your father’s house. A passing bolt cut straight to my heart you you lie in wait like a snake in the grass. Far from me to change a mountain built from waves, guarded by the storms, and years of endless rain. I guess I should have known, you left my heart to roam.

Lyrics:

Oh, and when the storms come flooding through the hall, rising to the landing, tearing pictures from the walls. The currents pull us underneath that bright tide rips us out into a tangled coral reef where we will never drown. Now that we’re at the end I try to tell myself that it’s always been you. Should I continue on and let you make this place your own? Or should we float off with the waves until we’re taken home? A salty taste of surf the words are still caught on my tongue. In the wake of everything, it's fair we came undone. Cause if we sank along into the tide, Our shadows cast out long in crooked lines. And even if you might not follow through, as the sun is swallowed up from view the last face that I’d see belongs to you.

Lyrics:

Long ago, the wind had just been born He was so young and sweet Ethereal and free of guilt As a boy, with a magnifying glass And a line of marching ants He blew fires all across this land Wind, I can hear you now you old man You moan and groan and howl Wind, you’re no kind of friend I scream, my name to you again When will you grow old enough To listen The wind, grew up to be strong Learned his right from wrong A soft breeze from a stormy day And as a man, spreading seeds throughout the land He traveled far and wide Let the birds rely on him I spend, my nights alone outside Listen to the song The wind brings across the sea But when, I need someone to hear To listen, love, and stay The wind just blows away again

Lyrics:

The Highway called me on the telephone Said “Friend, I hadn’t seen you in a while” The Highway called me on the telephone “Must not be walking lonely miles” So I wrote a letter to the westward wind “Just might be seeing you soon, Your brother from the east has been at my front door And he’s got me thinking ‘bout you” We’ve all been lonesome and low We all needed a friend I found mine on the road Running with my back to the wind I’ve been a traveler long as I can recall Out on the road since I was born I’ve been a brother to the rain that would fall I’ve been a friend to the storm But now my suitcase is packed to the brim And the rain is falling on my head A little worn out, and a little worn in, But I’m proud to call the road my friend Six long years now, since I left my home And I’m still out here running ‘round Six long years, since I left my home I don’t know if I am lost or if I’m found So when you see me, won’t you please say hello Don’t just smile or tip your hat Won’t you tell me a story ‘bout a traveling man Who carried his home on his back

Lyrics:

Well he built it real light and a whole lot quicker For running moonshine and bootleg liquor In the hills of Virginia, nineteen-twenty-three And he never not once thought he might get caught He never had trouble out-running the law A motorhead’s delight and a moonshiner’s dream Zero to Sixty Faster than any lawman could blink his eyes Zero to Sixty Gone in a cloud of dust ‘fore you could say goodbye Now he’s running liquor all around Thomasville And he’s running out of gas so he stopped to fill The Sheriff comes up says “Boy I’m watching you” And the moonshiner said “Sheriff, you could have me, That is now son, if you could catch me I’m the baddest, the fastest, the meanest racing fool” Zero to Sixty Faster than any lawman could blink his eye Zero to Sixty Gone in a cloud of dust ‘fore you could say goodbye Well the Sheriff stood up said “Boys I’ve had it, I’m gonna get up, get out, go stop this racket. I’m going to the shop, get me a new set of wheels” “I’ll have more horsepower than a stable in Kentucky The world ain’t never known a man so lucky He could outrun my new souped up automobile” Zero to Sixty Faster than any outlaw running moonshine Zero to Sixty Gone in cloud of dust ‘fore you could say goodbye So here they come down Highway Nine You’ve got the moonshiner running with the Sheriff behind Swerving and curving and speeding as fast as they go They dodge and bob through the oncoming traffic But the Sheriffs getting tired and he starts to panic He pulled his pistol, boy he let her go Zero to Sixty Faster than any outlaw running moonshine Zero to Sixty Gone in a cloud of dust ‘fore you could say goodbye When the Sheriff started shooting, moonshiner hit the gas He was coming ‘round the curve but he took it too fast His wheels started spinning and smoking as he lost control Around that curve the Sheriff came flying He hit the moonshiner, well they both started sliding Through the guardrail and down the mountain they rolled Zero to Sixty Faster than two old fools down a mountain side Zero to Sixty Gone in a cloud of dust ‘fore you could say goodbye They was gone in a cloud of dust ‘for you could say goodbye

Lyrics:

The sun has set Wild wild west In a prison With a window I've been howlin' at the moon Baby, all night I've been howlin' for you Baby, all night I am nothing I am eclipsed There's just darkness Till your headlights show I've been howlin' at the moon Baby, all night I've been howlin' for you Baby, all night I've been howling at the moon Ooooooooh Baby, baby, I gotta be your baby Baby, baby, I gotta be your baby I've been howlin' at the moon Baby, all night I've been howlin' for you Baby, all night I've been howling at the moon Ooooooooh I've been howlin' for you Ooooooooh

Lyrics:

White line oceans Black top seas I’ve been sailing Mother nature fought with me Her ice and snow Rain and sleet were falling Now my ship it has been docked The crew is gone The anchors dropped out front You slide a glass in front of me Through eyes of green Ask me what I want I want freedom, for one And drinks for two I want justice for all And a shot, for me and you Don’t tell me there’s nothing here You only serve wine and beer Oh no Where’s a man to get a hundred-proof Shot of truth When he’s feeling down and low There must be something in the back I’ll slip it down the hatch No one will know My spirit needs a spirit And elixir A fixer for my soul A bourbon splash in a glass I’m learning fast And living slow And you can pour it over tears Over laughs Over ice, cracked and cold Freedom is a sacred word A seldom heard songbird It holds no fear So what say you, what say I What say we grab this wine Get out of here? And we’ll find freedom And we can find drinks too And we’ll hope for justice A shot for me and shot for you

Lyrics:

These walls are so paper-thin Not strong enough to keep me in Soon I’ll be out of here at last I’ll be hopping trains and hitching rides Spend my nights in smokey dives I’ll be living life, so damn fast They can’t build a wall Strong enough to keep me in And there ain’t no Hellhound in Georgia Gonna drag me back again When that jailer slammed my cell door shut Something in my mind went off I knew I had to get me out of here The thought of a cold whiskey shot Or a woman’s touch is oh so soft It almost brought me to tears So I sold up all my cigarettes I got some tools and few good men Started diggin a hole into the ground And it wasn’t but a week or more When they opened up my jail cell door And I wasn’t nowhere to be found I remember it like yesterday You could hear those sirens miles away They even put a bounty on my head From Georgia up to Tennessee Now the state police they were looking for me Didn’t matter if I was alive or dead So now I’m living life out on the road Some of these nights so windy and cold But I’d never trade it for where I was And if someday they catch up with me And drag me back in custody I won’t even worry because

Lyrics:

I was in the joint in East Detroit Served a sentence in Dallas, Texas I got locked up all over trying to get through Oklahoma And I ain’t been back there since In the slammer in Alabama And Montana, Savannah, and Atlanta In the penitentiary down Memphis, Tennessee I got a tattoo says “I heart mama” Incarcerated in every state Institutionalized along the way Did I happen to mention that my life of correction Started back in Juvenile detention My rap sheet’s a mile long But it’s not why I sing my song No I came here to say there’s been a terrible mistake ‘Cause I ain’t done nothing wrong I’ve been arrested for possession of just about everything From weapons to wild animals, I’ve got breaking and entering Burglary, disorderly, battery, trespassing These are all just cases of mistaken identity Charges dropped in St Louis, picked back up in Kansas City Paroled in Alabama, Probation in Mississippi I’ve been detained, retained, and contained, and jailed But I never missed a court date, I ain’t never skipped bail I’m just a victim of the system, a victim of circumstance They framed me, set me up, tampered with evidence I ain’t never done nothing wrong, I would swear on my mother Except for maybe that one time… and maybe a couple others I was in the joint in East Detroit Arrested down in Houston, Texas Solitary confinement way up in Rhode Island And I ain’t been back there since In the slammer in Alabama Montana, Savannah, Atlanta, Nevada, Nebraska In the penitentiary down in Jackson, Mississippi I got a tattoo that says “I heart Steve” Incarcerated in every state Institutionalized in every way Did I happen to mention that my life of correction Started back in after school detention Yeah my rap sheet’s a mile long But it’s not why I sing my song No I came here to say there’s been a terrible mistake ‘Cause I ain’t done nothing wrong No I ain’t done nothing wrong

Lyrics:

Train won’t you let me ride Your fifteen cars of coal and hay Train won’t you let me ride And take me far away Hear that whistle cross the plains The countryside, right on time Hear that whistle blow for days You can hear it blow for miles Bad luck and hard times Have got me running, from my home Bad luck and hard times Is all I ever know The train I ride is running south Where the Mississippi meets the sea Take me to that river’s mouth In the town of New Orleans Hear her rumble down the track She hits the brakes, shakes the ground People wave and whistle back We’re pulling into town

Lyrics:

You're the sour apple of my eye, love I hope you know you're my best goodbye, love I wore your favorite t-shirt cause it was clean today My hand is out the window remember me this way Oooh We're the lucky ones Oooh We're the lucky ones Gimme sugar rub it in the wound, love The kisses were good they were good, love I wore your favorite t-shirt cause it was clean today My hand is out the window remember me this way Oooh We're the lucky ones Oooh We're the lucky ones I wish you well I think Someday I might be sorry maybe I wish you well I think But it sure was fun, baby I wore your favorite t-shirt cause it was clean today My hand is out the window remember me this way Oooh We're the lucky ones Oooh We're the lucky ones I wore your favorite t-shirt cause it was clean today My hand is out the window remember me this way Oooh We're the lucky ones Oooh We're the lucky ones

Lyrics:

I woke up late last night Alone as I could be Searching for my Shady Grove She was not next to me Walked along these moonlit streets Searched them up and down Came upon old William’s house The bedroom light was one Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove I say Shady Grove, my little love I’m bound to go away My heart it pounded through my chest Not knowing what I’d find Could it be old William Bell Was lying with my wife Crept along his gravel drive Crawled through his front yard Looked and saw my Shady Grove Wrapped up in his arms I jumped and turned around Through his door I run Back into his bedroom It was there I drew my gun I shot once, and he shot twice My shot hit his side His first shot made sure I fell The second, sure I died “Lord oh Lord have mercy on me” Cried little Shady Grove “Lord have mercy on these men, Both whom I do love”

Lyrics:

To the one that got away I found all the words I'd been meaning to say Found them on streets Where the rain ricochets In shops that we'd visit From plans that we made Outside New England sees Winter again Sweethearts in cabs When the night's parties end I don't know how, but can I Still pretend to see clearly Through love without the use Of a lens? Love, I haven't been right Ever since you've been gone Restoring near sight To see what's been here All along It's my clothes in the dryer The ticking of clocks That Sunday inspires 'Neath the jaded tongues' talk And all we'd do is watch adverts to sleep Toying with a notion that neither would keep Love, I haven't been right Ever since you've been gone Restoring near sight To see what's been here All along I'll make the time in the evening Put up a fight if you need it to know I'm still here and I still care I miss the notes in the kitchen All the parts of your life that I'm missing They don't say goodbye Love, I haven't been right Cause I know I was wrong Restoring near sight To see what's been here All along

Lyrics:

Run Run Run Waking up is the hardest thing when the candles burning out And the sleepless nights are catching up to you Grab your bags and your coffee cup when your not coming home The city lights illuminate the snow Rush Rush Rush get on the bus and your gone Run run run the taxi’s blowing their horns We ll find a way to make it through the day Boss is angry cause im moving slow punch the clock and its time to go Im the first one here last one to leave Need a vacation away in the sun all I wanna do is run run run But I cant find the time to get away Rush Rush Rush get on the bus and your gone Run run run the taxi’s blowing their horns We ll find a way to make it through the day

Lyrics:

Best Of Me Im hiding out and I cant find the key Im climbing mountains and chasing the breeze Im waiting for a sign to come my way Tonight im riding to where I don’t know Im burning bridges wherever I go Im waiting for a sign to come my way Loneliness has got the best of me My heart is aching so come back to me Will tear the waves and shake up the sea I know its gonna be all night long You wanna love me so love me some more Ill turn my back and ill show you the door I know im gonna be on my way Loneliness has got the best of me And I cant find the key

Lyrics:

Now  that  I’ve  got All  that  I  wanted Turn  it  away And  light  up  a  fuse Cos  you’ve  got  it  all And  you  know  how  to  rock  it An  innocent  smile And  rattle  snake  shoes Is  it  true  nobody  even  really  wants  to  help  you? As  they  tired  you  out  and  try  to  screw  you  up And  you  wonder  round  waiting  on  a  difference It’s  all  there It’s  all  there And  if  you’ve  got All  that  you  wanted  me  for Then  keep  me  from  you So  exciting  and  new Cos  you’ve  got  it  all And  you  know  how  to  rock  it An  innocent  smile And  rattle  snake  shoes Is  it  true  nobody  even  really  wants  to  help  you? As  they  tired  you  out  and  try  to  screw  you  up And  you  wonder  round  waiting  on  a  difference It’s  all  there It’s  all  there It’s  all  there It’s  all  there

Lyrics:

You used to count our days back home beneath the summer rain on your father’s porch until he came home again I think of all the times we spent and if you feel the same as back on your father’s porch when I carved out both our names when I carved out both our names Now I’m the one who waits for you to come back home Count... days and nights... that I’ll be always here you if you’re alone beneath the summer rains when you come back home And you promised me your love I promised you the same And the blood and sticky sap that your heart surrounds our names Now the june bugs have retired underneath the falling leaves and if that promise isn’t expired then I’ll bring you home to me then I’ll bring you home to me Now I’m the one who waits for you to come back home Count... days and nights... that I’ll be always here you if you’re alone beneath the summer rains when you come back home la la la coming home
