New Life
Went and sold everything that I own
erased the name I scribbled down on my front porch door
Got some money, let’s see how far it can take me
catch me running like a cowboy in these streets
a new life for me

pulling up in the pitch black night, to fill my ride
A stranger says “don’t go driving son with that 
far look in your eye.”
sit and listen to the engine gently hum
Look out baby ‘cause here I come 
a new life for me

Hide my Scars in secret places
Locks on every door
I’m Burning down the traces
Of the space we held before

Rushing through madness
Before sadness takes its hold
I won’t be coming back this way again
my friend 


Lonely street filled with desperate people
I say a prayer for all lost souls still searching on
The faster I drive the more I feel in control
The faster I drive the more I feel my soul
A new life

New Life

On the street I'm looking crazy
My hair made up like a fool
my feet are tripping I got slipped up
and now i'm caught up in you

only a fool could fall in love, could fall in love with someone like you
only a fool could fall in love, could fall in love with someone like you

You kept glancing tried romancing
flowers ended up on the floor
sheets were flying neighbors all spying
you said we can't do this anymore

only a fool could fall in love, could fall in love with someone like you
only a fool could fall in love, could fall in love with someone like you

you want it, I've got it
but you make me feel so blue
I think that I'm crazy
maybe it's just the things that you do

my head's a lead and rising balloon 
my heart's a clock that's running too soon
my eyes are curtains that shut out the pain 
you knocked me down like a hurricane

I was thinking after drinking
to push the feelings inside
I was stalling and you came calling
and now I'm ready to ride

only a fool could fall in love, could fall in love with someone like you
only a fool could fall in love, could fall in love with someone like you

You got me crying out 
You got me crying out
You got me crying out loud
oh you know you do!

So call me a fool
So call me a fool in love
so call me a fool
call me a fool in love

Call Me A Fool

You said take it slow 
A couple drinks ago
Head keeps turning
I keep burning up for you

Colors everywhere
Shining off your hair
Caught up in your stare
I’m floating off the ground

I know I know
My feet are dragging probably a little too loud
I know I know
I read your lips I bet their making such a beautiful sound

Umbrella in my drink
Just like on the beach
We could trace the pebbles 
And dance barefoot in the sand

Tell me all your dreams
Tell me everything
All those pretty secrets
That smile’s never shown

I know I know
My head is aching and I can’t stop thinking out loud
I know I know
I bet I look just like a fool to you right now

Can’t think it’s all just for nothing
All good things should add up to something
Maybe this will add up to something too
Can’t think it’s all just for nothing
All good things should add up to something
Maybe this will add up to something too

You said take it slow 
A couple drinks ago
Head keeps turning
I keep burning up for you

A Couple Drinks Ago

Makeup to cover the bruises, several tattoos of hearts
Always another mister, hanging sweetly in your arms
Used to drive you to your mother’s house, you’d pull your sleeves down past your wrist
Some nights no one was home, some nights she wouldn’t let you in

Does a songbird fly in the forest,
If no one hears any sound?
Does anybody miss the junkie,
When she’s lowered low into the ground?

Thought I drove past you the other day, there was a lifeless body by the curb
Closed my eyes and drove far away
Kept calling you I heard ringing all through the night
Watched the news shows in the morning, but they all had nothing to say

Does a songbird fly in the forest,
If no one hears any sound?
Does anybody miss the junkie,
When she’s lowered low into the ground?

I found your name in the paper, there was a short line on page number nine.
There were no funeral services had just some donation number your mother left behind

Does a songbird fly in the forest,
If no one hears any sound?
Does anybody miss the junkie,
When she’s lowered low into the ground?
Does anyone know the treasures they hold if they keep them under lock and key
Does anybody know how to value a soul when some lives go so easily
Does a songbird fly in the forest,
If no one hears any sound?
Does anybody miss the junkie,
When she’s lowered low into the ground?

Songbird (Ballad Of The Junkie)

A song about being young and foolish. Capturing "infatuation" and a failed understanding of what relationships are. Written In the perspective of a younger man.

She's Fine

Maybe baby
I've got teeth like a killer
Maybe baby I like vodka and vanilla
Maybe baby my heart's a beating faster
Maybe baby you’re courting with disaster

Maybe baby we can bop along to thriller
Maybe some dreams don't fulfill ya
Maybe my lungs are catching fire
Maybe baby you can indulge my desires

Maybe baby you’ve falling down too fast
I don’t want to be here quite yet
it's all a blur to me
How these lines get lined, crossed, and then double crossed

Maybe baby I’m sicker than twister
Maybe baby I’m talking with the liquor
Maybe baby my brain’s about to blister
Maybe baby I’m the one you can’t resist now

Maybe baby you’re the only one
Who can draw the wine from this blood
Who can lift out all of the stains
With your love

Maybe baby life’s a bitter movie
Maybe baby some ending get confusing
Maybe baby some drugs are worth abusing
Maybe baby I’m afraid of losing you

Maybe baby.. maybe baby.. maybe baby..

Maybe Baby

A song about the current affairs of the world and questioning why it has to be this way.
Lyrics:
If I was the king of the world
I’d rule mountains high valleys low
if I was the king of the world
every child would grow old

if i was the king of the world
I’d listen to every fear
if I was the king of the world
all the dark clouds would clear 

if a princess should cry alone in the night
I’d wipe every tear that she’d cry

if i was the king of the world
I’d tear down and buildup again
if i was the king of the world
every heart could mend

if a prince should walk blindly by in the night
he’d come home to his mother safe every time

if a queen should fall deep under a dark spell
I’d carry all her burdens till she’s well 

If I was the king of the world

King Of The World

Lyrics: 
when I sleep  
nothing fades
all the lights
shine away

every heart beats for you
every part was meant for you 
and I can’t breath

oh aint it a mystery   
every thing was here before

oh aint it a mystery
every thing was here before

when I hide
amongst the evergreens
oh how I high 
I climb

amongst the trees
all is told to me
nothing’s free
except the breeze

oh aint it a mystery
every thing was here before

oh aint it a mystery
it was always here before

each time I wake
I see the same mistakes
purple walls 
Keep closing in
another day
another soul to find
I broke my mirror
it brought me peace now I can breath 

oh aint it a mystery
it was always here before

Mystery

Flowers blooming
Babies crying
pavement cracks
While the leaders lying
Empty houses next to
crowded alleys
Out of touch, out of understanding

All this pretty world is on it’s own
All this pretty world is on it’s own

Blood in the classrooms
There’s blood on our hands
Blood of the fallen
Soaking down in the land
We held the rifles
Our bones turn to dust
The metal that kills us
Is unable to rust


All I’m sold is there’s no point in doing anything, but I’m doing everything
I just want to be safe tonight but there is something creeping in, yeah there’s something creeping up to us
All the pretty world is on it’s own
All the pretty world is on it’s own

I just want to be free from this
I want to go to sleep and dream sweet dreams again
But every day I’m wandering through a nightmare
And it’s only getting hazier, crazier, I don’t think there’s much hope hanging on
All the pretty world is on its own

All The Pretty World Is On Its Own

Taking Away

I had a dream our love was sweet, sweeter than honey
but often dreams are not as they seem, leaving me lonely

And in my dream my love shone through
the sky was painted auburn and blue
then all the happy clouds
they all started raining down down down
for you

I had a dream our love went cold, I started to shiver
but often dreams are not as they seem, gold turns to silver

and in my dream my time ran through
the sky was faded to black and blue
and then all the dust in the wind
started falling back down again again
for you

Dreams

Think I’m heading
Down the road less traveled
To the ghosts
That live far from here
think I'm heading 
Down the road less traveled
I hope that road 
Travels farthest from here

wanderlust  
wanderlust
There’s stardust
In my eyes

Thought there was no where left to go without you
Now I know everywhere is free
Thought the pain would hold me down I’d be suffering
But now I know I'm free
Wanderlust
Wanderlust
There’s stardust
In my eyes

Wanderlust

You pick up the paper wondering how things are gonna get worse
You got snow storms in July
Women clutching at their purses
I know some good hard folks who feel like they’re losing their way
My brother told maybe we’re forgotten maybe we’re wasting away 

Factories and refineries
Farms that stretch past the power lines
Cuts stabs and bruises
From the packing plants to the assembley lines 
you try to get by
But its hard to survive
In the heart of the heartland
Hard folks
Are getting by

Rolling up to the construction site ready to get my hands deep in the dirt
Fixing the road by the riverside where a farmworker’s out there getting hurt
A man like some foreman is screaming til his face turns red
I wonder how long we can work in the sun 
Until we wind up dead

Factories and refineries
Farms that stretch past the power lines
Cuts stabs and bruises
From the packing plants to the assembly lines 
you try to get by
But its hard to survive
In the heart of the heartland
Strong folks
Are getting by

Lonely whistle don’t you whine
I don’t care if I’m on time
Lonely whistle don’t you cry
Getting by

In the heart of the heartland
Hard folks
Are getting by
In the heart of the heartland
It’s getting harder to 
Survive

In The Heart Of The Heartland

This Heart

I stop at the edge of town is your place crowded now
Oh I want you
Can't clear my head at all give me something strong and tall
Oh I want you
I'll be there by the end of day we can throw our lives away
Oh I want you
I know where the cars don't stop and there ain't no traffic cop
Oh I want you

I want something fun to do and all signs they point to you
Oh I want you
Don't put your toys away bad boys will come to play
Oh I want you
I've done worse things before but I know what loving’s for
Oh I want you
I want everything you got want it hard want it heavy hot
Oh I want you

Am I the one to be the one to see the one, another lover
Am I the one to be the one to see the one, another lover
Am I the one to be the one to see the one, another lover
Am I the one to be the one to see the one, another lover

Are we the locks that hold in place
Are you the one who flies with grace
Am I that light that falls in outer space

I know what hands can do and the things they slip into
Oh I want you
It’s your lips I adore and their taste I’m craving more
Oh I want you
We drink the potion now its all slow motion now
Oh I want you
You have a grip so tight don’t let me go tonight
Oh I want you

I Want You

Step In The Road

Life’s a stage we play that’s never really over
And we smile outside and cry alone
So no one will notice that you’re sad
But all those thoughts go racing out of the door
When you cover up the problems you can’t face anymore

Shine bright my darling
Shine bright for me
Shine bright my darling
Shine endlessly

People always ask me 
“What’s really going on up there in your head?”
If I knew I’d probably say something that made sense instead
But all this time keeps fading through like glass
Smile like every perfect moment is always meant to last

Shine bright my darling
Shine bright for me
Shine bright my darling
Shine endless-
Should I call you one more time before I go
Tell you that I’m sorry so I can finally let you know

Peace of mind in my eyes
Has always been overrated
Who cares what’s wrong
Everyone has their problems, so do you
But am I hurting anyone by refusing to love you
Let me think this over before I decide what’s true

Shine bright my darling
Shine bright for me
Shine bright my darling
Shine endlessly

Shine Bright

At night I wish my mind would disappear
It’s a flood of the memories I used to call home
there are so many faces I don’t recognize
In a crowd full of strangers I sit all alone

The sun is falling lighting the stars in my eyes

I keep on wishing someone else had changed
But deep in your heart I saw the same fear
I like to picture you off somewhere sunny now
The sun is falling lighting the stars in my eyes


We used to look in the mirror 
pretend that we could be stars
Now I can’t get out of town 
This whole town is a waste of me
Nothing can set me free
Can I outrun the fear
Oh I wish it was clear, what am I doing here?

The sun is falling lighting the stars in my eyes

Stars In My Eyes

First kiss meant I love you
Whispered in the dark
Next kiss left me yearning
You stole it in the park
Sipping bourbon whiskey on the lake at 17
Noone even noticed it felt just like a dream

Tried to hold tight but time slipped by and we were through
You were my best friend
You were my best friend

I never was romantic
But I left flowers at your door
You said they didn't matter
Didn't feel a spark no more
There were always many pigs that loved to fly
Let’s all be dramatic lets all waste our lives

Tried to hold tight but time slipped by and we were through
You were my best friend
You were my best friend

Tried to hold tight but time slipped by and we were through
You were my best friend
You were my best friend

Circled in a yearbook 
Covered up in dust
The memories that we took
Left again to rust!

Tried to hold tight but time slipped by and we were through
You were my best friend
You were my best friend
