WHEELS CAME OFF
(Mitch Schneider, Aaron Beavers copyright)

IT’S HARD TO SEE YOU PULLIN’ AWAY
WITH A TRUNK FULL OF OUR BROKEN DREAMS
I’LL TAKE HALF THE BLAME CUZ THAT’S ALL I GOT
FADING AWAY LIKE TAILLIGHTS IN THE DARK, IN THE DARK

A COLD WIND’S BLOWIN’, CAN YOU FEEL IT STING?
YEAH A WOUNDED HEART WILL BRING YA TO YOUR KNEES
PACKING UP THE PICKUP TRUCK, IT’S TIME FOR ME TO GO 
WHERE WE’RE HEADING NOW NO ONE KNOWS, NOBODY KNOWS

(CHORUS)
I’M NOT GOOD WITH DIRECTIONS
I GOT LOST ONE TIME AND DIDN’T KNOW WHY
THE WHEELS CAME OFF, THE WHEELS CAME OFF
WE GOT LEFT BEHIND

THE SUNSET IS GLOWIN’ BEHIND CLOUDS OF GREY
COLORS BLEED INTO EACH OTHER, THEN GO AWAY
WE USED TO LIVE FOR THAT LIGHT IN THE SKY
FADING AWAY LIKE A MEMORY FROM MY MIND, FADES FROM MY MIND

(REPEAT CHORUS) 2X

(INSTRUMENTAL)

(LAST CHORUS)
I’M NOT GOOD WITH DIRECTIONS
I GOT LOST ONE TIME AND STILL DON'T KNOW WHY
THE WHEELS CAME OFF, THE WHEELS CAME OFF
THE WHEELS CAME OFF
WE GOT LEFT BEHIND

BOOMTOWN
(Mitch Schneider/Matt Dame)

There ain't no cheap rents anymore in boomtown 
Just high-rise condos with parking lots underground 
They bought out and tore down all our favorite dive bars 
And put in dealerships with expensive cars

(Chorus)
Whatever happened baby to this city?
They went and covered up our memories
They promised to make it a better place
But took its heart and soul away
We all had to move out of boomtown

There ain't no mom and pop stores left in boomtown
Just retail chains with nobody to help you out
We used to hit all the taco stands and thrift shops
Now there ain’t one on any single block

(Repeat Chorus) 

(Bridge)
These days we live more than
Thirty miles away
And we don’t trust businessmen who say our
Town could use a change

Look at all the cranes in the sky in boomtown
These new hotels keep on squeezing everyone out
Remember how we danced at the clubs on Broadway 
Where indie bands started early and played real late 

(Last Chorus)
Whatever happened baby to this city?
They went and covered up its history
They promised to make it a better place
But laid its heart and soul to waste
We all had to move out of boomtown
We all had to get out of boomtown
Yeah we all had to get out, out of boomtown

BEAUTIFUL GOLD
(Mitch Schneider, copyright 2019)

When the wind is restless 
And I’m miles from myself
And the world keeps moving
Closer to the edge

(Chorus)
I reach for you
And I take comfort in your eyes
They shine like beautiful gold
How I need your beautiful gold

When it’s hard to put my 
Trust in words like faith and hope
And I can’t see clearly
Further down the road

(Chorus)
I reach for you
And I take comfort in your eyes
They shine like beautiful gold
How I need your beautiful gold

When the heroes turn out
To be villains in the end
And the smoke is rising
Up around the bend

(Chorus)
I reach for you
And I take comfort in your eyes
They shine like beautiful gold
How I need your beautiful gold

(Bridge)
You’re bringing me back to myself
Giving me the truth I need
You’re the one who makes me see 
The beauty that’s meant to be

(Last Chorus)
I reach for you
And I take comfort in your eyes
They shine like beautiful gold
They lighten, lighten this heavy load
How I need your beautiful gold
How I need your beautiful gold
