My Kind of Crazy 04:05
lyrics

There ain’t nothing that makes any sense anymore Except for throwing it all towards the wind So try as I might to get to walking the floor I never know where to begin My kind of crazy was easy to do Takes a man like a me, takes a woman like you And it makes me think maybe I’m crazy it’s true All it took was a lady like you If I thought I may find to be say losing my mind Maybe once, maybe twice, maybe then Baby smile me a smile every once in a while Sure to put this old heart on the mend My kind of crazy was easy to do Takes a man like a me, takes a woman like you And it makes me think maybe I’m crazy it’s true All it took was a lady like you I’m a rake, I’m a wreck What the hell’d you expect Good reason ain’t saving a soul When my eyes roll around Into the back of my head Am I in or am I out of control? My kind of crazy was easy to do Takes a man like a me, takes a woman like you And it makes me think maybe I’m crazy it’s true All it took was a lady like you Crazy was easy to do With a lady like you

Brave & Free 04:36

What do you want? What do you need? I’m here for you Are you there for me? It’s a sign of the times We’re much to busy indeed To look into these eyes Tell me what do you see? I can see for miles On the clearest day But don’t stray too far When the winds change ‘Cause sometimes I find While I’m barely awake I’m having to decide The right path to take Wanna shout out loud Won’t you sing with me Open your heart Take your time and breath Wanna hear you scream I’m the one you need Young and wild Brave and free, brave and free Together we grow Apart we fade I’m coming home Hope it’s not too late I wanna see you shine All these blues away Give these arms a try And have a little faith Wanna shout out loud Won’t you sing with me Open your heart Take your time and breath Wanna hear you scream I’m the one you need Young and wild Brave and free, brave and free ‘Cause who knows how far we’ll go We’re trying our best now don’t it show Don’t fight the feeling that ain’t right Let it out, tonight could be the night Wanna shout out loud Won’t you sing with me Open your heart Take your time and breath Wanna hear you scream I’m the one you need Young and wild Brave and free Young and wild Brave and free, brave and free

I Can't Find The Answer 05:07
lyrics
buy track
While searching for the light In an endless fight So sick of this routine No end in sight Fire in the sky Won’t you enlighten me Pining for some night When it’s alright Tell me how you feel You say nothing but time Get yourself in line Let’s just wait and see In the darkest times Keep your heart open wide At least that’s what they teach But when the tears have dried There’s nothing left inside Will He set you free? Open up your eyes See through the disguise Wash your spirit clean All we do is try Nothing comes out right Is this life a dream? What would you say that we are? What would you say that we were? Because I can’t find the answer To you and me and everything Is it all, Suffering? Keep your head up high It’s your time to shine Just remember to breathe Truth will leave us blind Search but you won’t find The hidden melody As the clock unwinds You’re staring at the signs There’s nothing left to concede Will it be a trial Or another mile Some things may never be What would you say that we are? What would you say that we were? Because I can’t find the answer To you and me and everything Is it all, suffering? What does it mean to be living this absurdity Is it all, suffering?

Chasing Smoke 04:19
lyrics
buy track
There ain’t much to hold Ain’t writing the greatest story ever told Sometimes I sit and wonder why Why did I choose To play a game that’s so easy to lose Leaving love and loved ones behind all the time Because there’s everything to gain Just as long as you can fight through the pain And somehow forget the rainy days And keep trudging on Even if you’re having trouble seeing the road The law of attraction works in mysterious ways What can I do? To impress you What can I play? To make you feel the same Does it even matter? When it feels like chasing smoke You kick and fight just to stay afloat Getting pulled to the bottom of this stream And you feel like gettin’ high Light one up for you and I Let you mind wander to that dream Where the sun is shining bright Family and friends are all in sight Singing along to the songs they know every word About a king and a queen And all that comes between As you’re living a life happily ever after What can I do? To impress you What can I play? To make you feel the same What can I do? To impress you What can I play? To make you feel the same Does it even matter?

Say That Thing Again 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Say that thing again One that made you scream Made you bleed Woke you from a bad dream Opened your eyes Did you decide To say that thing again We go round and round Up and down Much too far from the ground Side to side You opened wide As you say that thing again You’re walking away I still hear you say Won’t you make my day It’s hard to describe These feelings inside As you say that thing again

Worn Out Blues 02:52
lyrics
buy track
Tonight, I’m gonna sing songs that will make you cry And harmonize, melodies to dry your eyes Melodies to dry your eyes When you feel a little lonesome Late in the night Glass is about empty But the bottle is doing fine No one there to listen No one to dim the light One more won’t hurt you none Just fill it above the line And try, to write a song to pass the time Write a song to pass the time When you’ve got yourself in trouble And the man is at your door Don’t slow down a bit son Go faster than before Pedal to the metal And let the engine roar Don’t look back, stay on track And pin it to the floor And fly, or this life will pass you by This life will pass you by You’re drunk, dark and dirty And passing on the right Pushing your luck To get through the weigh station on time Smoked your last cigarette The pills are long gone This tired song’s over but the melody lingers on Then why, do we try hard to live so long So long, in the end we’re all alone In the end we’re all alone

Dirty Ol' Country Song 03:09
lyrics

You don’t wanna listen You don’t wanna listen To my tired and wrapped up Dirty old country song Give me one good reason Give me one good reason To stay in this ghost town Where I don’t belong Drink another cold one Drink another cold one ‘Til the whiskey brings a storm Ten miles long Sing about your sorrows Sing about your sorrows Then the barkeep tells you Boy you better get along You know we’ve had our troubles Dig without a shovel And I know exactly where I come from Shake it for me baby Shake it for me baby When you tell me darling That I am the only one But you don’t wanna listen You don’t wanna listen To my tired and wrapped up Dirty old country song To my tired and wrapped up Dirty ol’ country song To my tired and wrapped up Dirty old country song

To Lose a Part of You 04:07
lyrics
buy track
If you knew what’s good for And if you’d seen what I saw Might walk right out of here Be thankful for what you got Really ain’t all that bad Could have been a whole lot worse Ain’t no point in gettin’ mad Surely this ain’t the first Time that you lose a part of you That you find a new way through Hold on to something new And let go This life sure is strange From each moment to the next Might be the chicken or the egg Will this be on the test? Some folks drag you down Lovers they should lift you up Don’t get buried underground Don’t stop til you get enough When you lose a part of you You find a new way through Hold on to the chosen few And let go, let it go, let it go

Why Don't You Turn Out the Light 05:15
lyrics
buy track
Sun is done for the evening Yellow moon is on it’s way This heavy heart is yearning It’s been a long month of May A lavender sky is falling Beneath the cottonwood tree Starlight I hear you calling Or is it Mercury, is it Mercury Why don’t you turn out the light We can rest amongst the stars Give into Eternity Why don’t you turn out the light As darkness climbs up the mountain Big river rolling east Twilight is soon upon us Flickering eyes gently weep Hear the roar of distant thunder Lightning flashes over the field Smoke from fire rising upwards Towards a blanket of mystery, of mystery Why don’t you turn out the light We can rest amongst the stars Give into Eternity Why don’t you turn out the light The light from stars, near and far Have travelled countless miles for us to see As our eyes adjust, stars turn to dust Birds whisper softly in the trees And as we raise our gaze, Orion guides the way Points us to Infinity With our eyes now closed, a heroic dose Let the Spirit set you free Let the Spirit set you free Let the Spirit set you free Why don’t you turn out the light We can rest amongst the stars Give into Eternity Why don’t you turn out the light

Sun Breaks the Mist 03:12

Give me the strength to leave his town Show me the quiet way around Like when the sun breaks the mist You know in our hearts it’ll be okay Even if life doesn’t seem that way There’s no choice to make Cause it’s only temporary I am waiting on a kiss from an angel Ya it’s only temporary I am waiting on a kiss from an angel I pack up my shit and say goodbye You turned away but didn’t cry It was all we could do So when that time comes around And you find we’ve both been found Just know I think of you Cause it’s only temporary I am waiting on a kiss from an angel Ya it’s only temporary I am waiting on a kiss from an angel Cause it’s only temporary I am waiting on a kiss from an angel Ya it’s only temporary We are waiting on a kiss from an angel I am waiting on a kiss from an angel

One Way or Another 05:54
lyrics

Pouring down the midnight rain Too late to catch a midnight train Too late, the same old song remains the same Yes ma’am I’m a fool it’s true And I’d do what any fool would do Yes ma’am it’s anything if it’s for you One way or another It’s a little bit of you and me It’s a lot of what a wish could be One look and all you see is all you see A sister with a heart of gold Daughter of the rock and roll One kiss that taught me how to lose control One way or another One way or another He’s a hard liver, He’s a hard lover And he’s all about some damn old midnight train The midnight train, one way or another I will love you or at least I’ll try I will love you til the day that I die Because I can I’m not some crazy man that’s high Pouring down the midnight rain Too late to catch a midnight train Too late, the same old song remains the same One way or another
