“Drive”

I just need some time take myself out for a drive 
Past the 405 over on Ventura high
Put on Lucinda Williams Petty “Don’t Know How It Feels”
Wish I coulda seen it in the 1970s

The windows down
“Free-Fallin’” up
Why wasn’t it enough
How’d I get here 
Why’d you go away
I’ll be okay

Down the canyon road up the mountain to the coast
Stop at the café the women working there are babes
Gets me every time the way it sparkles and it shines
At the PCH hit the pen ride the wave

The windows down
“Free-Fallin’” up
Why wasn’t it enough
How’d I get here 
Why’d you go away
I’ll be okay
The windows down
“Free-Fallin’” up
Why wasn’t it enough
How’d I get here 
Why’d you go away
I’ll be okay

Down the highway
Down the highway

The windows down
Down the highway
How’d I get here
Down the highway 
I’ll be okay
Down the highway
I’ll be okay

“Too High”

Time keeps on moving but I’m feeling stuck in time
Everything changing but I can’t seem to change my mind
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high

Packed my belongings and headed for another place
Though you’re now a memory still it feels as you’re awake
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high
Walking through the fire like everything’s alright

Through the fire
I’ll go higher
Through the fire 
I’ll go higher
Higher and higher
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high

I been taking back roads home through the winding ways
Just off the main road there lies a sacred space
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high

Through the fire
I’ll go higher
Through the fire 
I’ll go higher
Higher and higher
High, higher, higher, high
Sometimes it feels that I’m just too high

Too High - Dm

Can't Stop Cryin' 
When you comin' home baby I don't know
Still searchin' for your signal by the telephone
I know it's a lie
I know we died

Oh you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin' 
Over you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin'

I flew into Dallas outta LAX
Still searchin' for some mountains that don't exist
On this horizon
Like you I miss

Oh you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin' 
Over you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin'
Over you

I float on with the breeze
As wind whirls through the trees
I can't make sense 
How you could leave
Will I e'er awake 
From this bitter dream

Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin' 
Over you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin'
Over you
Somehow I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin'
Over

Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin' 
Over you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin'
Over you
Know I'm doin' fine but I can't stop cryin' 
Over you
