Dancing on down the road Treasure chest full of gold I had to put it down to take a breather It’s a big load to be carried by one Lend me a hand and I’ll make so much more fun And besides we’ll have each other here to talk to Cuz I want to tell you what’s...

I can still hear the sounds of hammers Echoing through the woods As I stand in someone’s driveway Where our trees and tree forts stood I can taste the yellow flowers Bittersweet upon my tongue On the Avenue of the Indians One for all and all for one On the sh...

Wherever I am Wherever I stand It’s my secret hiding place Wherever you are No matter how far you Wind up inside my space And I don’t think I care too much Just what it is you see I only know you’re Looking straight through me And here in the dark Where it’s...

I look around this town and I can’t feel There’s something wrong we lost the song And this is way too real This is the only place I’ve ever belonged And now it’s gone And I wanna go home There used to be a lot of things that I could see Most of the time they...

Stop this spinning in my head Stop it, stop it, stop, I said It’s white noise burnin’ through my brain Quietly whispering my name Can’t find the knob to turn it down It’s much to dark to get around Won’t somebody come and light the way It is totally fucking u...

I feel like a kite without a string Only my tail to guide me Just paper and sticks and tattered sheets Waiting on a friendly wind Hold all our memories in one hand So tight that you won’t let ‘em go And in the other hand we pray That the wind and the panic and...

Don't worry baby Don't worry Well it's been building up inside of me For oh I don't know how long I don't know why But I keep thinking Something's bound to go wrong But he looks in my eyes And makes me realize And he says "Don't worry baby" Don't...

I remember you jumping on my bed I remember you ‘round the corner I remember you everything you said I remember you When I remember you I see dragon flys Pretty little dragon flys I got a wine glass in my pocket And I got this guitar slinging off of my hip Th...

Galveston, oh Galveston I still hear your sea winds blowin’ I still see her dark eyes glowin’ She was twenty one when I left Galveston Galveston, oh Galveston I still hear your sea waves crashin’ While I watch the cannons flashing I clean my gun and I dream o...

My relationship with you Is like a dream that I once had And these flashes in my mind Are some home movies but they’re mine And I keep on losing track of you But it’s always been that way We were never really on a track Just a train that ran away And I am not...

Isn’t this a perfect day? Everybody let me change lanes On the freeway And I can smell the sugar in the air My head is spinning And I hear the music everywhere I know you know Just what I’m talkin’ about And it’s familiar to you If you remember what We can’t...

Just a song we shared, I'll hear Brings memories back when you were here Of your smile, your easy laughter Of your kiss, those moments after I think of you, and think of you and think of you. Of the dreams we dreamt together Of the love we vowed would never M...

What shall I write? What can I say? How can I tell you how much I miss you? The weather here has been as nice as it can be Although it doesn't really matter much to me For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away It might as well rain until September I...

Well I was thinking about it on the way back home That big old boulder has become a stone And I’m still traveling around life’s bend In no hurry to get to the end, are you Well I cleaned my windows, now the streaks are gone And I can see for miles not a road...

Far away when I was young Outside my window straight through dawn Past the miles of rolling grass Across the water made of glass A beacon of light Shines all through the night Just for me It’s always there it guides my way No matter where I roam Through dream...

Hey, Mr. Everything I’ve been watching you, watching you swim And I know where you are I’ve been there before And it’s no big thing Cuz you’re only human Maybe more human than you wish to be But you can not help yourself You can’t swim and the river’s too deep...

You fell in love across a backyard fence You read your books behind closed doors You lived and loved with some regrets “I’d do it all again,” she said And as I turned around to go I heard her singing sweet and low Oh, Oh, I don’t want to leave this earth Oh,...

Oh New Orleans You will always be my city I will always be your daughter The Saints are smiling down on us tonight Oh New Orleans I feel so free just standing here The Mississippi whispering in my ear Clouds are rolling over us tonight I came back to wipe you...

I was willing to fight I was willing to ride into the night I knew it was out there somewhere And I would find it In the palm of my hand So I traveled for years Far away on a river filled with tears And every drop was salt that stung my heart I was gone for...

Much too much time on my hands Not enough time in the day just to be who I am Maybe I’ll walk on the wire Maybe I’ll swallow some fire today Or walk in the snow with no shoes on, you know On the coldest of cold winters’ days ‘Cause sometimes real life can be...

She had to leave me Said she had some place to go I knew her heart was searching for its home So what’s to do when you let go of flying falcons Except to watch them disappear ‘til there no more And as she flew well I called out And I knew she heard her lover...

Sittin’ listening to Tom Tom with a storm creeping in This old world’s gotta veil that is so damn thin I can see it through the wipers I can feel it in my bones It’s the loneliness of living makes me feel like I’m home Well I don’t know so much but I can say...

I hear you lost your new girlfriend Well I’m sorry for you Did she get sick of you talkin’ about me Well I’m sick of it too You should try volunteering A new hobby or two Maybe taking up knitting ‘Cuz spinning yarn’s what you do You’re talkin’ shit around tow...

And the way that it goes While you’re dreaming your dreams You gotta keep on your toes If you know what I mean And when the ceiling is on the floor And you can’t seem to find the door And the telephone rings That’s just the way that it goes And while you’re m...

Je suis tout seul Loin de ma coeur Sans ma coeur Je suis loin de ma maison Ma seule petit Parti a la guerre Sans ma petit Il n’ya pas de ma maison I’m all alone Far from my heart And without my heart I’m far from Home My only child Has gone to war And witho...

We sit in the same space I listen to your face We smile ‘cuz we know We know each other well We’re all the same faces In so many places And while we’re all laughing The miles they are gone I don’t even know you But you, I still owe Some love and respect For...

We’re all here together Forever and ever To breathe the same air Speak our words, keep our faith Some kindness and sharing Forgiveness and caring I stand where you stand The whole human race I don’t even know you But you I still owe Some love and respect For...

White light of winter On the Vermilion It’ll blind you Even save your soul White light of winter One in a million And it’s calling your name Telling you not to go home White light of winter Filling up my eyes Shining through my heaven Making the clouds cry Wh...

Across the evening sky All the birds are leaving But how can they know It’s time for them to go Before the winter fire I will still be dreaming I have no thought of time For who knows where the time goes? Who knows where the time goes Sad, deserted shore You...

Mardi Gras on the breeze At the end of the day You swing on that tire It’s so easy you say Far away in a land Green and covered by trees Just you and me baby Doing just as we please Well I had a dream Wasn’t so long ago If you hadn’t come true Well I never wo...
