Carried Away
You can bleed the night
Till it turns into the day
You can say the words I love you
But are you meaning to stay
You throw rocks at my window
Trying to drive me away
We both know when that storm lets go
We love so hard that it aches
You ain’t no angel
But you ain’t no devil either
Tried to quit you once before
But I could never leave you, no darlin’
You throw rocks at my window
It takes more to drive me away
We both know when that storm lets go
We love so hard that it aches
We can’t go and we can’t stay
We get carried away
You won’t come to me tonight
But you hate to be alone
Driving up and down the boulevard
Drains everything I own
The sun’s up in the valley
The rain’s still on the pavement
Are you still wearing last nights dress
Well I ain’t jealous yet, no darlin’
You throw rocks at my window
It takes more to drive me away
We both know when that storm lets go
We love so hard that it aches
We can’t go and we can’t stay
You say I make you crazy
Well you do the same
Till we fall into a long embrace
We get carried away

Nashville Dream
She was a singer with a Nashville dream
Lately it was harder it seemed
All the towns were starting to look the same
Felt like she was getting further away
He’d been living there all his life
She came to play on a Saturday night
At closing time he walked backstage
She looked up from her lipstick case
Rosalee flies Rosalee sings
Rosalee’s in a Nashville dream
Where every sorrow goes in a song
Nothing bad ever lasts too long
She’s gone to a Nashville dream
She was with him every night
Warm and close by his side
Till she felt herself slipping away
Knew that she couldn’t stay
Rosalee flies Rosalee sings
Rosalee’s in a Nashville dream
Where every sorrow goes in a song
Nothing bad ever lasts too long
She’s gone to a Nashville dream
Always called him when she got lonely
Poured a tall drink and let the phone ring
Now she’s singing on the radio
About the one she should’ve never let go
And he’s working the midnight shift
Like he was hers and she was his
Rosalee flies Rosalee sings
Rosalee’s in a Nashville dream
Where every sorrow goes in a song
Nothing bad ever lasts too long
She’s gone to a Nashville dream

Bridges
I cross the river into my hometown
Same old bridge we used to paint graffiti on
There was a rebel kid I knew
Picking fights he couldn’t win or lose
No small town was going to be enough
Wish I could build a bridge to all
The places that are gone
My soul needs to wander
Along a bridge traveling homeward
Same house weathered paint on the fence
Still missing momma’s love
Now we’re laying daddy to rest
Beneath a magnolia tree
Whole town’s gathering
Nothing’s quite the same as it used to be
Wish I could build a bridge to all
The places that are gone
My soul needs to wander
Along a bridge traveling homeward
What comes tomorrow
Passes through yesterday
Across the narrow straights
Of the living and the dead
You get one life son
Take it now make a better one
I look for him in every setting sun
Wish I could build a bridge to all
The places that are gone
My soul needs to wander
Along a bridge traveling homeward
Along a bridge traveling homeward

Like Your Guitar
I know the rambling life you lead
You got your music and the world to see
Another town chasing songs
You never leave that stage for long
Play me like your guitar
Hold me all night in your arms
Play me soft or play me loud
Fall in love or fool around, darlin’
Play me like your guitar
Wrap your arms around my shoulders
Run your hands down my neck
Let emotions take over
I’m going to do the rest
Play me like your guitar
Hold me all night in your arms
Play me soft or play me loud
Fall in love or fool around
Play me like your guitar
We can lose this bar room crowd
If you like the way I sound
In the morning I’ll be tuned to you
In rhythm or the blues
For as long as you want me to
Play me like your guitar
Hold me all night in your arms
Play me soft or play me loud
Fall in love or fool around
Because every song wants a harmony
Every singer needs company
I know all your songs by heart
Play me like your guitar

Motorcycles and Sunsets
The yard needs cutting there’s a fence to paint
Kids could use bath truck needs new breaks
First times and laugh lines
Life around the kitchen
We act grown up I remember when we didn’t
Summer days in the heat by a waterfall
All the nights in the backseat of your daddy’s car
How hard we believe in hometown sweethearts
In Romeos and Juliets motorcycles and sunsets
There’s moments we celebrate
And jobs that won’t wait
Now the girls want makeup and to borrow the car keys
That look in their eye reminds me of you
We broke a few rules they’re gonna break some too
Summer days in the heat by a waterfall
All the nights in the backseat of your daddy’s car
How hard we believe in hometown sweethearts
In Romeos and Juliets motorcycles
We’d ride those back roads
Where the fire red sun would go
They said we were too young
What could we ever know
All day and all night
We didn’t care where we’d go
As long as we were together
One day we’re gonna look up
And they’ll be waving goodbye
Pack a lifetime into a Honda try not to cry
The sun’s getting low we got the world tonight
I don’t know where this road ends
Let’s get ready to ride to

One Horse Town
Long live a one horse town
I’ll be the last man holding out
The only peace I’ve ever found
Is living in this one horse town
I’ll work any job I can find
If you’re down on your luck I lend you mine
I’ll buy you a drink don’t forget
A stranger’s a friend you ain’t met yet
Town’s got a roadhouse
For dancing a two step
It’ll go all night if there’s any girls left
Each morning awakes to a railroad crew
Lord it sounds like thunder
When they’re rolling though
Long live a one horse town
I’ll be the last man holding out
The only peace I’ve ever found
Is living in this one horse town
Summer’s spent praying for rain
Winters so cold it drives a man to change
Springs that grow roses all May
Going to lay them down on Momma’s grave
Long live a one horse town
I’ll be the last man holding out
The only peace I’ve ever found
Is living in this one horse town

She’s My Rhythm She’s My Rhyme
She holds all the words I want to say
Deals the notes so I can play them
Any other muse is a waste of time
She’s my rhythm she’s my rhyme
I’d ask her to stay but she never will
Steals the night and sends me the bill
Leaves a long list of promises to fill
She’s my rhythm she’s my rhyme
She’s my rhythm she’s my rhyme
Poets make words last forever
She’s like a wind bound for September
She takes what she wants travels in style
Makes the sun blush when she smiles
Takes me on a ride I don’t ask why
She’s my rhythm she’s my rhyme
She never comes easy we haggle on a price
Can’t see when I’m lost in her eyes
Then it’s too late to compromise
She’s my rhythm she’s my rhyme
Poets make words last forever
She’s like a wind changing the weather
She hold all the words I want to say
Deals the notes so I can play them

Don’t Ask
There’s a diner remember how we used to
Hide out in a red corner booth
You’d laugh at my bad jokes
Your kiss would taste like cherry coke
Now the streetlights buzz and hum
I walk this cold pavement alone
We said we wouldn’t but you call anyway
I’m trying to make it through the day
So don’t ask how my life is going
Don’t ask if I found someone new
Don’t ask now you don’t get a say
Hearts break every day
Only God hears the lonely hearted
You go on about your friends and parties
Or you sister who’s always causing a fuss
Was it that easy to forget about us
Don’t ask how my life is going
Don’t ask if I found someone new
Don’t ask now you don’t get a say
Hearts break every day
Are you still saying that you had no choice
I’m not hearing any sadness in your voice
Don’t ask how my life is going
Don’t ask if I found someone new
Don’t ask now you don’t get a say
Hearts break every day

Where the Magic Goes
When I was a kid I believed in magic
I could make a card vanish just like that
Well I’m older now but I still don’t know
Since I put that all away where the magic goes
I drank from the cup passed it around
All through the night I followed the sound
Of a gypsies song from long ago
Said she came from where the magic goes
I’ve seen in the good-time eyes of a friend
Hanging in the halls as the music starts to end
We’re burning through the embers till they glow
Out where the magic goes
I’m loading the cases for the next stage
Can’t take the notes they’re already played
I’m leaving the songs to dream and float
They’re hard to hold on to hard to let go
I’ve seen in the good-time eyes of a friend
Hanging in the halls as the music starts to end
We’re burning through the embers till they glow
Out where the magic goes
I’ve been to the mountain came back again
Walked though the fire knelt in the rain
The less I fear the more I mean to follow
All the way to where the magic goes
I’ve seen in the good-time eyes of a friend
Hanging in the halls as the music starts to end
We’re burning through the embers till they glow
Out where the magic goes
