Loved the music and the lyric.  Very well done vocal too.

Had to comment again. . . what an AUTHENTIC lyric.

A song about my brother and my recently passed father

[Verse 1]
Prepare the child not the road they say
On a long lonely path, he ran away
With a bottle in his hand
A heavy load on his back
He stepped out into the rain
And never looked back

[Chorus]
Perhaps there's some sort of grace out there
Where peace can be discovered
For that frightened boy I knew under the covers
And maybe there's a goodness after all
In a heavenly, peaceful place,
Where wounded souls find their embrace

[Verse 2]
Broken bottles along the roadside
Too many, too late, too soon he died
He traveled long but not far
On a road paved with broken dreams
I hear him whisper in the night
When the clock shows 3s

[Chorus]
Perhaps there's some sort of grace out there
Where peace can be discovered
For that frightened boy I knew under the covers
And maybe there's a goodness after all
In a heavenly, peaceful place,
Where wounded souls find their embrace

[Bridge]
Our father has joined him in the sky
If there are no roads to guide them
Did these two souls yet collide
And are there rivers of tears in heaven
Are there rivers of tears of joy
In Heaven

[Chorus]
Perhaps there's some sort of grace out there
Where peace can be discovered
For that frightened boy I knew under the covers
And maybe there's a goodness after all
In a heavenly, peaceful place,
Where wounded souls find their embrace

Wounded Souls

[Verse 1]
The lights are flashin‘
The music‘s are groovin‘
It's bottoms up
Wonder what she's doin‘

I don't know
I don't know

(Chorus)
I just came here tonight
To drink and drown my sorrow 
I'll pay for it tomorrow, I know

I ain’t got any plans
I ain't lookin for romance
But I’m drunk enough to dance

(Bridge 1)
It's only been six beers
Later I'm sure there'll be tears
I swear I wanna let her go
I still can't let goooooo

[Verse 2]
The crowd is swayin’
My heart is burnin‘
She broke me up
Wonder what I’m learnin‘

I don't know
I don't know

(Chorus)
I just came here tonight
To drink and drown my sorrow 
I'll pay for it tomorrow, I know

I ain’t got any plans
I ain't lookin for romance
But I’m drunk enough to dance

(Bridge 2)
I guess it's been a few shots
I'm not so clear in my thoughts
I know I wanna let her go
I still can't let goooooooo

(Outro)
Oh, I ain't got any plans
But someone just took my hand
And I'm drunk enough to dance
Yeah I'm drunk enough to dance


Drunk Enough To Dance

Your Brain's Like A Nightclub (with no bouncer)

(V1)
It’s hell to fall for someone
Who isn’t into to you
No matter what you wish for
There’s nothing you can do

(Prechorus)
At least she told me right up front
And didn’t try to lead me on 
But now my dreams are gone

(Chorus)
She could have said she loved me
She could have told me why
She could have said a thousand things 
But she couldn't tell a lie
We'll never be a couple
We'll never be a team
We're just two souls lost in a desert
With only one canteen

(V2) 
She didn’t take my picture
And put it on her phone
Said I was a nice guy, but
She’d rather be alone

(Chorus)
She could have said she loved me
She could have told me why
She could have said a thousand things 
But she couldn't tell a lie
We'll never be a couple
We'll never be a team
We're just two souls lost in a desert
With only one canteen

(Bridge)
Took awhile to admit it
We were jeans that didn't fit
We just could not get comfortable
So I had to call it quits

(Chorus)
She could have said she loved me
She could have told me why
She could have said a thousand things 
But she couldn't tell a lie
We'll never be a couple
We'll never be a team
We're just two souls lost in a desert
With only one canteen
   
(Outro)
Yeah we're two souls lost in the desert
With only one canteen

Only One Canteen
