Verse 1
Take this heart, I don't need it now
Take your foolish and leave
Take my pride if you find some inside
Take what's left on this tree

Verse 2
Like the light of a blazing fire
You're the darkness in me
I got lost the way that I was found
Could you please let me be

Chorus
I am broken, I am broken now
By what you've spoken to me
It's what you've stolen, what you stole somehow
Shut this door now, and toss the key

Verse 3
Lost my way so many years ago
Lost my drive to be free
Lost my mind and my faith in mankind
Lost the ground underneath my feet

Chorus (repeat three times)

Broken

Orphan Girl

Verse 1
Come on and sell me a house of gold
With blood on my hands and a heart of stone
Oh it's better to have than it is to hold
Come on and sell me a house of gold

Verse2
Let's go out walkin in the darken night
Oh I once was blind but now have sight
No there ain't no wrong and there ain't no right
Oh let's go out walkin in the darken night

Chorus
She flies like a bird but stings like a bee
I'm a huntin for her but it's killin me
There ain't nothin wrong with chasin what's right
Afraid of dyin in grey when it's black and white

Verse 3
Oh it feels like flying before the fall
How the hell is kneelin gonna make me tall
Oh I look so big but I feel so small
Oh it feels like flyin before the fall

Dyin in Grey

Verse 1
How'd he find me all by myself
How'd he find me all by myself 
Well I traded traded his freedom 
For these shackles of mine
I tossed out The humble
For a pile of my pride
That's how he found me all by myself

Verse 2
Gonna trade in this silver for gold
Gonna trade in this silver for gold
I been saving these pennies
 for a piece of the pie
Can't find nothing of value
 ain't too pricey to buy
Gonna trade in this silver for gold

Verse 3
Ain't so quiet inside my head
Ain't so quiet inside my head
Its so heavy a burden
such a burden to bear
Gonna take all these thoughts 
and hope they settle somewhere
Ain't so quiet inside my head


Aint So Quiet

Verse 1
We pick ourselves up
   No we can't look down
There's nobody livin
   In this one horse town
You ain't gonna break me
   when I fall
Cause even when I'm wounded
   I'm still gonna crawl

Chorus
Cause I see in color 
   And you see in black and white
I see in color 
   And you see in black and white
What your daddy done wrong
   I could have made right
But you chose the darkness 
   Instead of the light
But I see in color 
   And you see in black and white now

Verse 2
You gave me just a moment
   Of your time
It's too big of a mountain
   For you to climb
You cried me a river
   Of your love
And now you're sinkin in
   And I'll rise above

Chorus

Bridge/Outro
And all the promises you made (3 times)
And you and I begin to fade out now



I See In Color

Bridge

Verse 1
What's this new light comin from you
It burns so bright

I'm drinkin it in cause it feels so good
Upon my skin

Verse 2
I know you're weary such a heavy load
To bear

All this talkin in circles takes it toll on a hope 
And a prayer

Chorus
It ain't over no it ain't over now
It aint over

We were runnin in the dark
Lookin for a place to start
Just take my hand and I'll take you to
The Promised Land

Verse 3
You speak your words and I'll whisper mine
From here

They say that talk is cheap but I find the words you speak
Worth a thousand lifetimes my dear

Chorus

The Promised Land

Verse 1
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna wish you'd held me close and not moved on
You're gonna find yourself alone
You're gonna see this ain't the place that you called home

Vers 2
You're gonna find another me
You're gonna feel the empty spaces you can't see
You're gonna find out it's too late
Tradin in gold for lumps of coal you can't create

Chorus
Cause in this town we know what is real
Yes in this town we're sure of what we feel
Ain't no secrets, ain't no shame
In this town, where we all know your name

Verse 3
You're gonna think you're better now
You're gonna wonder how you got along somehow
You're gonna think you just can't live
With buildings of old and memories that hold the love you give

Chorus

This Town

Verse 1
Life is good in Arizona
Sun shows it's face every day
Folks make no plans and they're stickin to it
Lord knows the price they have to pay

Verse 2
They're drivin west from Carolina
Wisconsin, Canada and Iowa(y)
But they all know they're on the downslope 
They're sunny skies will slip away

Chorus
So leave your bible on the table
And put some gospel in the air
Like hope and a prayer

Verse 3
Sweet Shelly's longin for her lover
Been seven months since he resigned
Got nothin but Lakota the husky
She holds him close to ease her mind

Chorus

Interlude

Outro
Can you heal me.
Can you heal me Lord.
(Repeat as many times as you like)
