Seasons

I aint seen you since my 5th birthday
You spent moms money then you went away..or so they say
and I wonder just who the hell I am
We walked towards the sunrise and you held my hand
You held my hand
I ran into you at the grocery store
You said that i might understand some more
If I walked a mile in your borrowed shoes
Id be composing lonesome blues...just like you
It climbed on his back when he was just 13
and it pinned him down like a jackal in heat
and stole his dreams
Sometimes I lie awake and wonder where you are
I cant shake the feeling that you aren't very far
just one more thing that i'll never understand
is how in the world can i be the better man
The better man
The better man

The Better Man

California Dream

I can remember when I was small
I had my youth, I had it all
Time went by on the summer wind
Close my eyes and begin again
Then the rains came and the tempers flared
hearts grew cold, no one seemed to care
about the good times that we shared
The things I want for Christmas cant be bought
Its a world that turns Its the lessons learned
that leave me in the dark trying to find my way home
and a time thats been long gone
What was lost can be found
if you dont become what your around
you gotta strive for higher ground
You hear the wisdom of my years but you stall
'cause you fear you're not good enough
The things I want for Christmas cant be bought
Its a world that turns Its the lessons learned
that leave me in the dark trying to find my way home
and a time thats been long gone
Listen thru the windows of your soul
see it thru.. you know
The things I want for Christmas cant be bought
Its a world that turns Its the lessons learned
that leave me in the dark trying to find my way home
and a time thats been long gone
a time thats been long gone
a time thats been long gone
a time thats been long gone

LONG GONE

Willoughby

Close The Door

Wheels in the Rain

He kissed his girls goodbye
He lost it on the inside
he turned to face his wife
They've just begun to build a life
Hes going to Iraq
he might not make it back
Hes got to make his peace with that
Day turns into night
In the sand, in the moonlight
She puts the girls to bed
Their wedding playing in her head
Hes gone off to Iraq
She might not get him back
She'll never make her peace with that
We're living the days
we send our kids to walk the sand
to die in each others hands
by decree of dishonest men
by decree of wicked men
who sleep sound in their beds
Midnight closing in
He digs a hole to block the wind
Shes wispering his name
Glides her hand across a picture frame
He's gone off to Iraq
His girls swear he's coming back
We gotta make our peace with that
We're living the days
we send our kids to walk the sand
to die in each others hands
by decree of dishonest men
by decree of wicked men who say its all in the name of God
and their god is the only God
and their god is the only God
and their god is the only God

Walk The Sand

I've seen this movie before
its ending leaves them rolling on the floor
begging for more
I caught a glimpse inside
and I have seen where shadows hide from love
They hide from love
You seem unsatisfied
and you seem like you've taken your last bite for a while.
I got a hungry heart
I trace it back to where i started from
thats why i gotta run
I can see open road across an endless sky and i know why
 i cant go
You seem unsatisfied
and we seem like we've taken our last ride for a while.
Ive got a lifetime ahead
and I'll always have a place to lay my head
and dream
