Somewhere short of heaven, the last place that you've been
Hearts don't last forever, the road just wears them thin
Some folks take the high road, but you just took it slow
Today you spend together, tomorrow there you go

And I can't say goodbye to you in a simple song
The words don't come with the greatest ease
Every night I think of you I say so long
And I send it on the breeze

Sometime last November, the last I saw your face
The words I still remember, it's the feeling I can't place
You said love's complicated, it sometimes up and dies
Somewhere yours had faded, I could see it in your eyes

And I can't say how I feel for you in a simple song
I don't wear my heart upon my sleeve
Every time I tried to babe, it came out wrong
And you blew out on the breeze

Nothing in life is simple, but finding out comes hard
My mind drifts back to better days, when we're playing in the yard
Sometimes we take a beating, sometimes it all goes wrong
Sometimes I look within myself and I sing this simple song

I'm a simple man with a simple life and a simple song
You know I love life's simplicities
The moment's just a place to live 'till I moved on
And I blew out on the breeze
I'm a simple man with a simple life and a simple song
You know I love life's simplicities
The moment's just a place to live 'till I moved on
And I blew out on the breeze

Simple Song

*There You Are*

It might be easy to question our existence
look in the mirror and wonder whats in your soul
should I travel by way of least resistance?
or spend my life just trying to keep control

But there’s the day your born, and theres the day you die
And there’s the road between, underneath the sky
There’s the words you speak and there’s the ones you hold
and there’s the loves you lost and there’s the ones you told
and there’s the life you dreamt and there’s the one you lead
there’s those things you want and the ones you need
you can plan it so well, it only gets you so far
one day the curtain come down and there you are
 
In the instance of one road or another
years can pass while you ponder on your choice
play it safe like a child who clings to mother
or take direction from that tiny inner voice
You can’t make my choices for me baby
Cause I’m the one who’s gotta live with whats been done
how to live, how to die, who to lay down next to every night
and only then did I know you were the one

There’s the ones who leave, and there’s the ones who stay
and you could hold em close or let em slip away
there’s the things you believe, and there’s the things you do
and when your living right, it stays true to you
there will be days in the sun, there will be nights in the rain
sometimes you’ll cry when you laugh, or even smile when there’s pain
you can plan out your life or simply wish on a star
some day you’ll stop and look up, and there you are

Feeling free like a ship out on the ocean
can float around or sail to any shore
and watch the sunset thinking bout this notion........
tomorrow morning I’ll be free to sail once more

There you are

There You Are

*The Ballad Of....*


There’s a girl that met last night she got me feeling right
Walked her home, all alone, held her close, it was out of sight
Her dad came out when we got to her house and I lost my nerve
He had a stare that I swear, god damn, he thinks that I’m a perv

The world can all doubt us but it’s you and me only
The night before last I was lost and was lonely
And here in the darkness with the stars up above you
My heart skips a beat and I know that I.............

There’s a girl that I met last week, she got me in a haze
saw the sights, hit the town every night, haven’t slept in days
Her friends all said “he’s a sped, walk away or he’ll break your heart”
Her sweet eyes, saw their lies, knew the truth right from the start

The world can all doubt us cause its you and me only
A short week ago I was lost and was lonely
And here in the darkness I can only think of you
With our clothes on the front seat, your mine and I............

I’ll forever and ever be there 
If I’m anywhere else I’m nowhere
I’ll forever and ever be there
If I’m anywhere else I’m nowhere

There’s a girl that I met last year, I took her down the aisle
The price we paid for the life that we made, it was worth the while

The Ballad Of....

*Runnin' Free*

There’s a beginning, and there’s an end
and here we go, around the bend
There’s a child, and there’s a man
and there’s a war, without a plan

There’s so many choices and too many voices inside of me
Out there on the horizon the sun is always rising, I’m running free

There’s a hero, and there’s a fool
and there’s a freak, who plays it cool
And there’s a beggar, and there’s a thief
and winds of change, can turn the leaf
There’s a sinner, and there’s a saint
there’s what I am, and what I ain’t
and there’s a lover, and there’s the lost
there’s the found, and there’s the tossed
There are the actions, there are the fees
But some of us keep running free

There’s so many choices and too many voices inside of me
Out there on the horizon the sun is always rising, I’m running free

Run! Run! Run!
Run! Run! Run!

There’s a beginning, and there’s an end
and in between the time we spend

There are so many voices but we make our choices
We’re running free

Rompus Time
