He was 18 years of age, born to a dirt poor family In the middle of the Texas plains, no matter how hard he tried He couldn't seem to please the young man staring back from the broken mirror So he packed his bags one night to go out and make it on his own...

I wished I smoked cigarettes Then I'd have a reason to keep some by my bed and I wouldn't be searching out every drawer in the house for matches, matches It hasn't rained here for weeks Yeah, I've got the courage, got the gasoline and theres a warm wind...

I must admit it’s a beautiful city at night To a boy from the country with stars in his eyes Sometimes the skyline will take your breath away How can you feel so lonesome in a town this size? [Chorus:] There’s a hit or miss chance I can find somebody No...

There's something about the way you move that moves me… Mmm Like you never had a fence around your heart I can't explain what your kiss does to me, but I lose me Like a LA sky full of unseen stars You are untame You are free You are my California wild,...

Seems like I live my whole life just like every other man Trying to figure out everything I can About the way you work, and all your wicked ways There’s no way of winning, all these games you make us play Think we got it all figured out, then you gotta go...

[Chorus:] Nobody’s fool anymore I do just fine out on my own You’re so cruel; it’s much easier now that I am alone And it’s too late; yeah I’m all gone, There’s nothing you can do I’m nobody’s fool Well you sure look pretty, standing in the window, as I...

On my way to wonderful I found you, it feels so good to be around you Pray the day; forever’s what I’m feeling, something to believe in, baby. In your eyes everything under horizon, I can see the light, oh, how it shines Hold on tight to this gift that has...

My windshield's cracked Just like my heart My tires are all flat Just like my brain My engine's runnin' rough Just like my soul Don't know how much further we can go Burning this much oil So let's burn all the bridges Ignore all the signs Put the ha...

Guess you should have known that I end up alone I saw so many signs, but I kept my eyes closed But everybody said that you are good as gone And I should let you go, but I keep holding on. And now I’m driving and I’m dying and I’m cursing your name There...

I often wonder in my mind If I’ve made a mistake Cause your soft spoken spirit Seems to have had all it can take Then you look at me and smile And that’s all you have to do Your eyes tell me everything And I no longer worry about you I love to dream...

Please come to Boston for the springtime I’m staying here with some friends and they’ve got lots of room You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk By a cafe' where I hope to be working soon Please come to Boston She said no, baby, you come home to me...

People sit and ask me sometimes What are you doing with your life? When are you gonna change your ways Stop wasting all your time Turn around and leave me alone And I'll think about all that you've said Cause you don't see the seeds that I've sown And y...

The way she looks at me makes my head spin around, I'm not quite sure yet just exactly what I've found, The face of an angel and darkness that can make you cry The wind blows all around us but time just passes by She's a red headed woman with a cigarette a...

I’ve died a thousand times since you left me Stared down the barrel of a thousand loaded guns There’s a midnight ride on a fast train headed somewhere I’ll be born again with the rising of the sun Resurrection, resurrection I woke with dawn washing over...

It was a Saturday night in a place back just like this In the laughin', in the dancin', we were havin' one last kiss There's nothing quite as lonely as a crowd when you're all alone And there's nothing but Sunday morning waitin' for me at home So why doe...

Well I'll just come out and say it I don't come here much If I'd said it as a question You probably would've gotten up Cause a pick up line Just ain't my style and I assume it isn't yours So why don't we just start with a drink I'm in no mood to think...

Looking down at the strip from my hotel room, It must be a full moon, cause their all out tonight All the insecure boys in their muscle cars, Young girls in their pushup bras under neon lights, They come here for freedom, freedom from anything And for mil...

Whatever happened to a feeling bad song Lost the best damn woman that you ever had song It's all four wheel drives and jacked up tires Rollin' out of them speakers But for a trip down memory lane tonight I need something a little deeper Than s10 Chevy'...

She blew in from out of town Georgia tags and a rag top down Turning heads in the neighborhood Half downhome, Half Hollywood… looking good She had two months rent in rolled up cash A blue tick hound that she called Nash Sent a postcard home with an ocean...

Just another crowded cafe morning She sits by the window all alone God, there's just something about that woman Pretty as anything I've ever know Sweet Leona You are fine wine You are sunshine You are rain Sweet Leona Can't find a word to say Oh eve...

There's a lot of things I could do tonight Call up some old friend just to see if they're all right I could read a book Maybe something by Louis L'Amour Oh but I don't' feel like doing that at all I could play guitar, maybe write a song Something really...

Sunday rolled around and I’m alone again I picked up the phone and I started to call I dialed your number, let it ring a couple of times And hung it up ‘cause I was just too scared Hardly a day goes by I don’t think about you I know it’s been so long I’...

Days up and down they come, like rain on a conquer drum Forget most of the memories saw, but don’t turn them away. Everything is not enough, and nothing is too much to bare Where you’ve been it’s good and gone, all you keep is the give and dare. Oh, to li...

I wouldn't say I didn't see her coming A light that bright's hard to miss in a place that dark She said yes to a drink while her fingers fumbled With a cross on a chain that was swinging above her heart When the morning sun set the midnight sky on fire Sh...

Sometimes I get captured by the way a song sounds It takes me inside and lifts me up off the ground It can make you feel love like you’ve never felt before Or it can make you cry and want to hide behind doors For a song is more powerful that most people t...

Its not easy anymore, everything seemed to change In one blink of an eye, I'm the man to lay the blame I let you slip away, tried so hard to make this right I have nothing left to do, nowhere else to turn And I know its dark babe Please turn on the lights...

I’m not as good as I advertise But then again, who really is? Judgment is thrown around so easily But nobody wants to catch it, they just want to side step it I think I’ve finally had enough Walking along the fenceline Hands in my pockets got a million...

If you keep walking in circles, you’re gonna fall through the floor And this old hardwood, can’t stand much more I can’t make you stay, and I won’t make you go Are those the same walking shoes, you’ve worn before [Chorus:] Oh your walking shoes, they’re...

She said she was leaving And it wouldn't take her long To get to where she's goin Wouldn't change her mind But didn't mind if I wanted to tag along And even though I'd only known her for a minute Her name was all I needed… Mmhmm Cause she's the kind of...

This old house ain't what it was before Boarded up windows and an old screen door Grass has grown up and the roofs falling down Nobody's coming around I laid my life down just to have your love You just wiped your feet and left me the dust You never eve...

I have been restless I have been reckless I've been a strain on my mom's heart I've been a drunk I've been a dreamer Pulling the strings on this old guitar I've found a few answers I've still got questions Kept it together and fallen apart I got se...

Well this morning found me wandering through my mind Another hangover hiding from the sunshine I put some sunglasses on to stare out the window Yeah I'm just looking for a way to tell the world hello Dealing with the pain of trying to make a dream fly Ta...

Like a rock through a stain glass window pane Baby I'm a candle, you're a hurricane Now I can't wait to be blown away And I get the feeling that you feel the same Most people dream about a love that's safe and sweet and endless The kind that find forever...

I love to watch the sunset, as it fades behind the trees I love to talk with God, and get down upon my knees I love the times I spend with my family and friends I love to dream about all the places I’ve never been And I love to watch you laugh and smile...

Why can’t you love me? What can’t you just be my girl? Why’s it all got to be so complicated? If you really love someone I know you don’t really love me And baby I guess that’s alright At least I had my moment with you And I’ll have that the rest of my...

Nineteen days straight Im lonely as hell and there's nothing I can do The emptiness comes over me as I sit here thinking about you I tear my boots off and set them on the floor next to my bed Try to fall asleep but ill just end up laying there instead Oh...

Now and then it keeps you runnin' Never seems to die Trails spin with fear And not enough livin' on the outside Never seem to get far enough Stayin' inbetween the lines Hold on to what you can Waitin' for the end Not knowin' when [Chorus:] May the w...

You've gotten use to No one to hold you Maybe you're good at all alone You ain't pretending You're some helpless princess And you ain't waiting by the phone You got all you got on your own Baby you think you Have it all, don't you Who am I to disagre...

In the corner of my living room lies the ring she threw behind I can’t bring myself to pick it up, you know she still might change her mind Every morning around 6am the sun hits it just right I’ll spend another day in hell just waiting on the night I see...
