THESE ARE THE NIGHTS

HEAD ABOVE THE WATER

It Ain’t You, It’s Me

In Every Moment

In Your Love

Stuck With Me Tonight

Shade Tree

Cowboy On
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
I met a man, who once held the world in his hands
he gambled it all, guess it wasn’t enough
When I asked him, how’d you come back from that?
Under his hat, I saw his eyes close shut
He said…

[CHORUS] 
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on,
cowboy on

[Verse 2]
Every sunrise, there’s a new trail to ride
every trail, takes you somewhere else
That don’t mean you turn tail and hide
Only one that’s gonna help you is yourself
He said…

[CHORUS] 
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on,
cowboy on

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
As he tossed away his last cigarette
He told me something I’ll never forget
Cowboys don’t flinch and they don’t quit 
They just get back up and get on with it
He said…

[CHORUS] 
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on, ride on
You gotta ride on, ride on, 
Saddle up and ride on, 
cowboy on


COWBOY ON

LOVED ONCE

The 4th

To feel my heart
Once again.
To see it there
From now and then
I can leap into
And find
What we knew.
In that moment,
There’s nothing
We need to do.

To see me
Through you.
To touch you
For just an instant.
To know you are there.
Back home
Around me
In the air.

The resounding connection
Past the form
Of the inspection.
The heart’s detection
Becoming 
The correction
Of this intersection
As I see
The intellection
A retrospection
Having an epiphany
Of introspection.

To see me
Through you.
To touch you
For just an instant.
To know you are there.
Back home
Around me
In the air.

The calling 
Of my heart.
The blood
Reaching past
What pulled us apart.
The remembrance of me.
Knowing you are more
Than what I see.
The feeling 
That it’s me;
that I can set
You free.

To see me
Through you.
To touch you
For just an instant.
To know you are there.
Back home
Around me
In the air.

Bring upon
The knowledge
Of a purposeful meaning
In my homage.
To live and let live
Is even beyond
What we can forgive.
