IN THE EVENING

V1
some days ole sol can be too bright
that’s when I look forward to night 
I want to be awake to gaze at the moon
there’s no need for me to seek high noon 

Chorus 
I always come alive in the evening 
listening to the night birds singing
surrounded by the glow of fireflies 
I no longer think of blue skies

Turnaround (4 bars)

V2
when the full moon is shining bright 
that’s when my spirit takes flight
walking through a field of silver dew
with every step my soul renews

Chorus
Solo
Bridge
when I see the sun rise I’ll bid the night adieu
but my moonlit dreams will always come shining through

Chorus
Outro

In The Evening

FIND MY WAY BACK HOME

It's been so long, I've been away from you
My skies have turned gray I feel lost, and confused
The road I'm on, oh I know has led me far away
I've got to turn back to you now
If it's not too late

I've got to find my way back home
to you, to you
I'm no good out on my own
You know it's true

I left home to seek a dream not meant for me
I left behind the very thing that I need
Standing still here I can see I've drifted far, far away
Only you can lead me on now to a much brighter day

'Cause I've got to find my way back home
to you, to you
I'm no good out on my own
You know it's true
Help me find my way back home
to you, to you
I'm no good out on my own
You know it's true

I'm done with the past, moving on
I never will find you there

Lost and forgotten dreams
I left them all yesterday
I'll let 'em all, let 'em all just fade away
Now I'm

I'm gonna find my way back home
to you, to you
I'm no good out on my own
You know that it's true
I'm gonna find my way back home
to you, to you
You're watching, you're waiting there
Lead me back to you
I'm gonna find my way back home
to you, to you

Find My Way Back Home

FIND MY WAY BACK HOME

I Didn't Do It

On my way to Reno
One last chance to make my future shine
Every desperate man’s casino
Gonna put it all on black this time
Still I’m thinking about a girl back in Soho
How love back then was precious and
As pure as Christmas snow
And I wonder if there’s something 
More to life than letting go
I guess it’s just one thing I’ll never know

Living lies is easy
As long as you forget the truths you know
I’ve always tried to please me
I expect that’s why I’m always so alone
So many times I’ve tried to change my ways
By now you’d think I’d learned the reasons 
why my heart still strays
And I wonder if the wisdom that
It takes for me to grow
Is just another thing I’ll never know

Stranded on the roadside in the rain
I throw my hat and kick my truck
Just ten more miles to go, but two flat tires
Just one spare …. curse my luck
And I wonder why it’s always gotta be
Like I’m stuck amid a war of gods
And fate’s my enemy
I just never seem to get me 
To the place I need to go
Am I my own worst friend or my best foe
Well, I guess I’ll never know

Things I'll Never Know

I’m looking for time
I’m searching for words
I don’t need an extension
No payment deferred
If I have ignored you
It never occurred
If I have ignored you 
That would be absurd

You don’t need a reminder
I’m not here to confer
You don’t need to find me
I’m not part of the herd
I don’t need a sweetheart
The nights are a blur
I don’t need a sweetheart
So shake but don’t stir

There’s no reason for shame
There is no rewind
Push the fast forward
We’re losing the time
We’re wasting our fortune
That love can compound
I know you can spend it
Cleanse our battleground

I’d be down for the count
I’d be slurring my rhymes
They couldn’t revive me
I’d be out of my prime
If I can’t hear your sweet sound
Those soft bluebird chimes
I’m looking for hours 
I’m looking for time

I’m looking for daylight
I’m looking for time
I’m looking for hours
I’m looking for time
I’m looking for moments
I’m looking for time
I’m looking for hours 
I’m looking for time

Looking For Time

THE HERO
By David Snyder

V1

They say you have to beat the odds
And give it all you’ve got
Fight against your fatal flaws
Just to reach that mountain top
They say you’ll never know what you can take
Until you reach that point where you might break

CH

But sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change
And sometimes the hero’s the  man
Who just lives with the pain
And sometimes the hero is the man who doesn’t have to be ashamed
Because sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change

V2

And he knows you have to live by faith
So he always says his grace
And he’ll rush into a raging fire
If there’s someone he can save
And he’ll never say there’s no more he can take
Cause that man of faith never hits the point where other men might break


CH

Cause sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change
And sometimes the hero
Is the  man who lives with the pain
And sometimes the hero is man who doesn’t have to be ashamed
Because sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change


BRIDGE 

You keep the faith
You keep the faith
Even in the pouring rain
You keep the faith
You keep the faith
It’s the one thing that remains
You keep the faith
You keep the faith
And that’s never gonna change
You keep the faith
You keep the faith
It’s the one thing that remains

CH

Yeah sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change
And sometimes the hero
Is the  man who lives with the pain
And sometimes the hero is man who doesn’t have to be ashamed
Because sometimes the hero
Is the man who doesn’t change

THE HERO

You can always find me at my favorite local bar
wearing out a barstool underneath the neon stars.
‘Cause though that woman’s gone, she’s left her memory here behind.
And now, I’m holding on by trying to drink her off my mind.
I’m just sitting in the corner with the cigarette smoke
reliving my old memories, broken dreams and shattered hope.
Though I’ve had three or four I always want, ‘Just one more’
‘til I stagger out the door, you’ll know just what I’m waiting for

‘ Cause I’m sitting here once again with a drinking glass and listenin’
to songs of pain, tears and rain, loneliness and all it brings.
And, if it takes me all night long, I’ll stay in here and drink ‘till dawn.  
‘Til the pain is finally gone and her memory leaves
So when the band takes requests, they know the words that I’ll say next 
are “Give me one more whiskey and another whiskey song.”

When I get feeling low, this is where I feel at home
Just me and my poison and those back road break up songs
It happens every time.  She’s always preying on my mind.
No matter where I go her memory follows close behind.
And, all I want it seems is a choir of broken dreams, 
one more shot of gasoline and to join them as they sing
‘Cause if we all feel the same, then we’re addicted to this pain,   
To the memories, and the whiskey and the songs that become chains. 

‘ Cause I’m sitting here once again with a drinking glass and listenin’
to songs of pain, tears and rain, loneliness and all it brings.
And, if it takes me all night long, I’ll stay in here and drink ‘till dawn.  
‘Til the pain is finally gone and her memory leaves
So when the band takes requests, they know the words that I’ll say next 
are “Give me one more whiskey and another whiskey song.”
Another whiskey song.  Another whiskey song.
