That night after the show, you wouldn’t let me go
Until I let you know I’d be around
You saw right through me standing there, barely breathing the same air
How was I to know you’d never let me down
It doesn’t show to look at you, all the pain that you’ve been through
And this old world for us keeps spinning round
Without a word, without a sound
You shine bright when this hard life tries to bring me down
You showed up, you stayed around
When everybody left me on the lonesome side of town
Pulling hard against the wind, time and time again
Hand in hand beneath the darkest of clouds
Lost in all our schemes, stealing fire from heavens dreams
Somehow it seems we’re still waiting to be found
Girl I never let it show, the things you think that I don’t know
You’re still the one who keeps me coming round
Without a word, without a sound
You shine bright when this hard life tries to bring me down
You showed up, you stayed around
When everybody left me on the lonesome side of town

Lonely
03:31

All this has ever been is lonely
A moment's glance, a stolen kiss if only
I held those promises so tight, the things you told me
But all this has ever been is lonely
All this has ever caused is pain
Out here alone till you come round again
You hold back the sun while I’m drowning in the rain
All this has ever caused is pain
It’s been a year or two, keeping time with you
Running like a thread right through your life
Holding onto you like it’s forever, till I realize
All this has ever brought is fear
You hold the cards and I live with the tears
I’ve been lost in the clouds, but they’re starting to clear
All this has ever brought is fear
I’ve learned a thing or two in the time I spent with you
As I watched the light of hope fade from your eyes
And wondered was love still growing slowly, or starting to die?
All this has ever been is lonely
Lying to myself that you’re my one and only
But I’m finally figuring out all those things you should’ve told me
All this has ever been is lonely
All this has ever been is lonely
All this has ever been is lonely

I got late night plans, guitar in hand, as you walk through the door
Hanging around, two drinks down, moving boxes on the floor
You’re looking for ways, something to say to leave me a little more
But there ain’t no words, nothing I haven’t heard a 1000 times before
It all sounds like leaving, every word you say
There’s no room for for believing at the end of the day
And it comes as no surprise, you’ve lost that look in your eyes
Let’s get on with the grieving, ‘cause it all sounds like leaving
Now you’re standing there at the top of the stairs, not knowing what to say
I’m looking at you, now that we are through there’s no more games to play
From all that I’ve heard you can’t find the words, and maybe you never will
But if you ever do you know I’ll hear them through, we’ve got nothing but space to fill
‘Cause it all sounds like leaving, every word you say
There’s no room for for believing at the end of the day
And it comes as no surprise, you’ve lost that look in your eyes
Let’s get on with the grieving, ‘cause it all sounds like leaving
Let’s get on with the grieving, ‘cause it all sounds like leaving

Both Hands On The Wheel
04:23
|
|||
|
I’ve got you on my mind, past that city limit sign
Cleveland left so far behind me this time
Two flames burning bright, following our own design
Staying in between the lines somehow this time
I’ve got both hands on the wheel
Far from all the fears I used to feel
I guess the old wounds take the longest to heal
Yeah, I’ve got both hands on the wheel
Yeah, we’ve been doing time, waiting on what’s yours and mine
Shackled to such different lives it seems sometimes
But still this road unwinds, draws the Sun across the sky
And every town I leave behind brings me closer to your side
I’ve got both hands on the wheel
Far from all the fears I used to feel
I guess the old wounds take the longest to heal
Yeah, I’ve got both hands on the wheel
There’s snow blowing across the freeway
I’m seeing things in such different ways
Thinking that you might just stay awhile
Now the sun is going down, on some old midwestern town
No one keeping company where I’m bound
But my feet are on the ground, your love follows me around
And darkness doesn’t bring me down no more, since you’ve been round
No, darkness doesn’t bring me down no more, since you’ve been round

The Things I Miss
03:24

I miss our good days, I miss our good nights
I miss our talks and the way we used to try
I miss our hellos, I miss our goodbyes
I miss your touch and that look in your eyes
I miss the way that we used to laugh
When we took the time that neither of us had
I miss all the things that we used to do
Now there’s only me and there’s only you
We’ve been holding on so long
We can’t tell right from wrong anymore
I miss the way you’d dance, just because you could
I miss the ways you wouldn’t and the ways you would
I miss the little things that you used to say
I knew they weren’t all true, but you’d say them anyway
We’ve been so far under ground
We can’t tell up from down anymore
And if only for a moment
Would you hold me like you used to do?
I miss our good days, I miss our good nights
I miss you next to me turning out the light
I miss our own hellos, I miss our goodbyes
I miss our talks and the way they used to try
I miss our talks and the way they used to try

State Of The Nation
02:47

The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
While I’m out here in a world of pure frustration
The economy Is looking good, but that don’t mean the things it should
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
The woman on the news smile so wide
She’s got long blonde hair to match those deep blue eyes
She wants me to tagalong on a ride where everything goes wrong
The woman on the news smile so wide
I’ve been out here running like a hamster on a wheel
I voted for change, but there ain’t no new deal
It’s enough to make you wonder if the old ways still hold true
Has anybody seen the red white and blue?
They told me to stay inside the lines
Follow the rules you’ll be just fine
I did my time, paid my dues, all I got was these old blues
They told me to stay inside the lines
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
When he’s done he’s leaving on a weeks vacation
Me I’m keeping my head down, it’s getting tough round this old town
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation
The man on the TV’s talking about the state of the nation

Hypnotized
03:26

I used to pass the miles so damn proud
Your picture on the dash and my head in the clouds
Staying ‘tween the lines so far from home
Yeah, I take you with me everywhere I go
When night would fall I’d play the fool
In some old dive bar sitting on a stool
Just lost and lonesome while the jukebox wined
That’ll old photograph and you on my mind
I guess that’s how I lost it all
Looking at your face when I should have called
Living in a dream of days gone by
A thousand things I didn’t do
Now a picture’s all that’s left of you
Honey, you’re still burning in my mind
You still got me hypnotized
Moving town to town’s no way to live
From here to there then back again
And that Polaroid won’t hold me tight
Lay me down or turn out the light
Maybe that’s where I went wrong
Living life like some old country song
Believing you be waiting by and by
If I could do it all again
I’d tear that picture end from end
It’s your memory that keeps me up at night
You still got me hypnotized
From Oklahoma, Arizona, Baltimore to Saratoga
I still wonder how you pass your time
And you still got me hypnotized
You still got me hypnotized

You’re here one day and gone the next
You’ve got the kind of love that leaves a man perplexed
Left to wonder if there’s something he don’t see
Yeah, your love it tears the heart right out of me
You’ve been running schemes the way some people do
Living on the dreams I shared with you
And I know it won’t be long till the day you set me free
Yeah, your love it tears the heart right out of me
You’ve been playing it cool while I’ve been playing the fool
Believing in somebody meant to be
I’ve been waiting here so long, on a dream that’s all but gone
And a love that tears the heart right out of me

Just For Two
03:08

If you waltz with me my love
If you hold me like you do
We will dance beneath the stars above
In a world made just for two
If you put your hand in mine
If you do just as you do
I will satisfy your worried mind
As years go rolling through
If you always come to call
If your heart was born to be true
I will catch you each time you fall
My love will see you through
No fan of roses, porcelain poses
You’re holding yourself back again, my friend
But you’re steady in the darkest night
When the world seems much too cruel
And you’re pretty and that fire light
When the moon comes shining through
No fan of roses, porcelain poses
You’re holding yourself back again, my friend
If you waltz with me my love
if you hold me like you do
We will shine beneath the stars above
In a world made just for two

Love Me Right
02:45
|

|
You gotta love me right, don’t fool around
You gotta stay the night, when the sun goes down
You gotta do the little things that lovers do
You gotta love me right, like I love you
You gotta leave the past so far behind
You gotta put those fears out of your mind
Just take ahold of my hand, like lovers do
And love me right, like I love you
Woman you pick me up like a summer breeze
Woman you spin me round till I’m on my knees
You gotta hold of my heart, that much is true
But you gotta love me right, like I love you
You gotta love me right, like I love you
You gotta love me right, like I love you

On My Way
03:12
|

|
You at the top of the stairs, me by the door
We’ve been here five years, you’ll be here no more
Nothing I can say, nothing I can do
Guess you’re on your way, I’m on my way too
We’ve been here so long, words can’t say
No more tomorrows, only yesterdays
I can feel your ghost dance across the floor
I live right here, where you don’t live no more
But I can still see you sitting on that barstool, it’s true
You’re on your way, I’m on my way too
So take your aim and shoot to kill
Never give up, I know you never will
Loose strings that hold your heart
Those fears aren’t yours to carry anymore
If it all came down there’s nothing I won’t do
You’re on your way, I’m on my way too
You’re on your way, I’m on my way too
