VERSE 1
Old roads
I’ve traveled before
But I’ve got dreams
That go beyond these streets

Old homes
Built with love but little more
Not exactly what I need 
For the future I see

I feel alone in captivity
When I roam don’t see much for me

CHORUS
Humble country
You’ve been so good to me
OH
But I’m restless filled with
A strange a strange energy
X2

VERSE 2
Don’t think I’m better
I just think differently
The outside world’s clever
But I got country sensibility

Momma showed me 
Love and humility
Daddy taught me respect 
hard work, responsibility

I got roots I say it proudly
But dusty boots have become wings

CHORUS
Humble country
You’ve been so good to me
OH
But I’m restless filled with
A strange a strange energy
X2

BRIDGE
I’ll never change what I know
I’ll show the world what I hold
A country soul and a country heart
With a little edge and dirt road smarts

I’ll never forget my home
But I gotta fly on my own
Southern comfort was a good start
Now I’m takin risks to follow my heart

CHORUS
Humble country
You’ve been so good to me
OH
But I’m restless filled with
A strange a strange energy
X2


HUMBLE COUNTRY

I don't know 
what it is about you 
But the archer in my heart 
Set his sights on you 
The lion so proud 
Majestic and true 
My hunters heart 
Is quiet and patient
You may not see me 
But I see you 
If it storms and if it rains 
I don't care 
It's worth it here 
Just a moment when you come near 
So close so many times 
But this Archer is a coward 
I take aim but never fly 
My arrows have no power 
So I remain a spectator to your splendor 
So afraid of being devoured
Seasons come and go 
Yet I remain alone 
Seasons come and go 
And still you don't know 
Because this Archer 
Ain't a hunter 
He has become an admirer 
Of the Lion the majestic lion


THE LION AND THE ARCHER

DOMINIC
I can save you from
All the tears to come
Be the place you run run run
I can save you from
The pain they’ve done
But not until I 
Confess I’m the one

DONNY
There’s a part of me
That wants scream
Throw my hands up
And tell you some things

Like I can make you feel again
I can watch your back
Yeah I can hold you be your friend
I can love like that

Yeah I can love you like that

CHORUS DONNY
Oh I can save you from
The dating world’s revolving door
Take my hand we can build
A strong sturdy threshold
Build our home
Where our hearts won’t have to roam
Yea from the roof to the floor
We’ll be all we need and more

VERSE 2
Bottled up inside of me
Aging like a fine wine
Are all the things I hope to let you see
Oh if ever you are mine

I know in this day and age
It’s more about quantity than quality
That’s not how I was raised
And never how I wanna be

Nooooo no it’s never how I wanna be

CHORUS DONNY
Oh I can save you from
The dating world’s revolving door
Take my hand we can build
A strong sturdy threshold
Build our home
Where our hearts won’t have to roam
Yea from the roof to the floor
We’ll be all we need and more

BRIDGE DOMINIC 
I can be all this
But I gotta confess
When we’re close my chest
Pounds with protest
Hardly know I exist
Had the chance and missed
Anything but fearless when we first kissed

DONNY
I gotta shake this shyness
Don’t know why I’m nervous
Cuz I know I can do this

CHORUS DONNY
Oh I can save you from
The dating world’s revolving door
Take my hand we can build
A strong sturdy threshold
Build our home
Where our hearts won’t have to roam
Yea from the roof to the floor
We’ll be all we need and more

I CAN SAVE YOU

Have you got the strength
To carry me away
On your back or in your arms
I’ve gotta get away

I’ve gotta get outta here
Far away from all I fear
I’m a prisoner in my mind
But with you I think clear

Runaway with me
That’s all I’m thinkin lately
I know I ask a lot
That’s cuz your love is safety

I know a place, please
Where every things amazing
I had a dream 
And we were both there happy

Take me take me take me
Take me take me take me
Take me take me take me
You’ll see

CHORUS
Runaway runaway
We ain’t got nothing here
Let’s runaway
Runaway runaway
From this reality
Let’s runaway

I’ve seen the truth
Every bit of it is you
Behind your lovely eyes
Are all the things you’ve proved

So take my hand
Let’s journey to a land
Where we can feel  at home
So happy that we ran
We stayed to long
In a place that’s all wrong
We were fadin fast
Now our light is so strong

Now you can save me
I know you see what I see
So will you take the chance
And venture with me bravely

Take me take me take me
Take me take me take me
Take me take me take me
You’ll see

CHORUS
Runaway runaway
We ain’t got nothing here
Let’s runaway
Runaway runaway
From this reality
Let’s runaway

Come on take me to that place
Live the fantasy
Watch us bloom in open space
Somewhere we can breathe
No runnin in the rat race
We’re breakin free, let’s break free
No more black clouds rainin down
No more chasin tails round and round
Somewhere new if we follow the rainbow
No struggling, juggling, no limbo

CHORUS
Runaway runaway
We ain’t got nothing here
Let’s runaway
Runaway runaway
From this reality
Let’s runaway



RUNAWAY

VERSE 1
I’ve seen my trials
You’ve seen tribulation
But we never wavered
To a life of sedation

Your strength was a light
A beacon giving sight
One I fought for
In my solo plight

Now you got me on a mountain top
The only thing I fear is god
Snow storms earthquakes
Volcanoes erupt

But I’m safe in your love
Far removed here above
Tranquil silence
Looking down is done

CHORUS
Come storm clouds come
I have no fear won’t run
Cuz I abide in love
Every day every day 
every day every day
Is filled with sun

VERSE 2
We can weather any storm
Frigid cold we stay warm
Together we’re transformed
Solid stone arm and arm

Through life’s battle field
You were always my shield
Never coward in the trenches
All our wounds have healed

When I look into your eyes
I feel my temperature rise
My soul in a mirror
Our history is written inside
Lay your hands upon my chest
Feel your heartbeat beneath my breasts
Every bit of me is you
Our survival will attest

CHORUS
Come storm clouds come
I have no fear won’t run
Cuz I abide in love
Every day every day 
every day every day
Is filled with sun 
X2

VERSE 3/BRIDGE
Let em come!
Let em come, let em come, let em come
Let em come!
Let em come, let em come, let em come, let em come
Let em come!
Let em come, let em come, let em come, 
let em come
We’ll never run

Endurance respect reassurance
Making light of evil’s everyday occurrence
Never turning back no deterrence 
Til death do us part no insurance
X2

CHORUS
Come storm clouds come
I have no fear won’t run
Cuz I abide in love
Every day every day 
every day every day
Is filled with sun 
X2

Clouds rollin wind blowin
Let em come let em come
Clouds rollin wind blowin
Let em come let em come
Clouds rollin wind blowin wind blowin
Let em come let em come let em come
Let em come let em come let em come
Let em come let em come

CHORUS
Come storm clouds come
I have no fear won’t run
Cuz I abide in love
Every day every day 
every day every day
Is filled with sun


STORM CLOUDS

There you are
Spittin up how you fucked up
There you are
Disgraced covered in your upchuck

There you are
Vomitin you’re adultrin
There you are
Sick sick with sin

I smell the scent of a man
A man whose been, betrayin
I feel an energy 
Of the worst kind, undefined

You stomped stomped
All over my heart
Tore me limb from limb
Ripped my soul apart
X2

This is war
So reckless with my heart
This is war
For all the women everywhere

this is war
runnin free without consequence
this is war
ridding all the world of vagrants

I am woman
A woman still, fightin
I gave it all
All I had but then, forsaken

You stomped stomped
All over my heart
Tore me limb from limb
Ripped my soul apart
X2

Count back
From ten
Then pick yourself up
And slay him

Here I am
Suit of armor Excalibur
Here I am
Risen for your end my future

Here I am 
Bow your head for the executioner
Here I am
Yes revenge is sweet sir

You stomped stomped
All over my heart
Tore me limb from limb
Ripped my soul apart

Trust
The most sacred thing
You proved to me
That to you it meant nothing

You stomped stomped
All over my heart
Tore me limb from limb
Ripped my soul apart

THIS IS WAR

From the moment we met 
it was Russian roulette 
took a chance on love 
placed our hearts as bets 

took a risk all in  
No one told us
neither one of us 
would win

What was it we did 
what was it we said 
to cause shots fired 
this time who bled 
who lost their head their head their head

First time second time 
third time fourth time 
by the fifth time 
whose keepin track 
we're both full of holes 
but we keep comin back 
you're my liquor I'm your crack 

Two addicts just tryin to survive stay alive 
when love when love when love when love when love when love when love 
When love attacks

CHORUS 
First love why you gotta hurt so bad
First love why didn't we last
X2

There may have been some lies 
I know both of us cried
Kept wondering why 
we just couldn't get it right
Never seemed like it was the right time 
So we'd go our separate ways
To see what we'd find
But our hearts led us back 
Like were bound by a pact
What is it what is it
What is it we lack
Wish one of us knew that
I ain't playing with you 
You ain't playing with me 
but it seems like a game 
neither one of us is winning
In the ring 
round round round round round round
In the ring 
lovin every bit of loves beat down
Ah ah again
Ah ah again

CHORUS
First love why you gotta hurt so bad
First love why didn't we last
X2

Love love
First love
Love love
First love

We've taken all the blows
parted friends and foes
Only to return for another act in this shit show
But what only you and i know
Is that Is that Is that
You were my first love second love third love 
Ok my 4th love and 5th love
Yeah yeah
And I’m still questioning
If that’s enough

CHORUS 
First love why you gotta hurt so bad
First love why didn't we last
X2




FIRST LOVE

VERSE 1
Like the stars
In a clear night sky
I can see a story 
In your eyes

I know you ain’t
Got much faith
You’ve been hurt
Been thrown away

But I wanna
Make it better
Make the pain 
Go away

Come on pretty girl
Take my hand
Let me show love
Like a real man

Let me take you away
I’ll be Aladdin 
You can be jasmine

CHORUS
Over mountain tops
Clearin hills clearin crops
To greener pastures girl
Make you the center  of my world
Over mountain tops
Clearin hills clearin crops
To greener pastures girl
You deserve a whole new world

VERSE 2
I know it’s hard
For you to trust me
And that’s ok cuz I swear 
I’ll prove everything

I’ll be patient 
Earn your respect
The little things 
I won’t neglect

Cuz I never  
No never
Never never 
Met a soul so tender

I’ll protect you
Girl make sure you stand
But when you do fall
In these arms you’ll land

Let go come with me
I’ll be Aladdin 
You can be jasmine

CHORUS
Over mountain tops
Clearin hills clearin crops
To greener pastures girl
Make you the center  of my world
Over mountain tops
Clearin hills clearin crops
To greener pastures girl
You deserve a whole new world

BRIDGE
Can you feel the wind
As we ascend
The freedom of true lovin
Can you feel the wind
Go on take it in
The freedom of true lovin
Can you feel the wind
Cuz this is what it feels like
To feel, true lovin

CHORUS
Over mountain tops
Clearin hills clearin crops
To greener pastures girl
Make you the center  of my world
Over mountain tops
Clearin hills clearin crops
To greener pastures girl
You deserve a whole new world
