Our Love (Acoustic)
04:34
|
|||
Oh I am no devil
You know I am no saint
I can't be somebody
We both know I ain't
But I tried so hard
You knew I wouldn't catch on
Now I'm racing down the highway
Going ninety in a sixty
Screaming out the window
Wishing you coulda fixed me
But I'm still a drunk
And darling you're still gone
Long gone
Our love my baby
Is like holding up your fists when all the fight's gone
It's been hard since you left me
I won't try to lie
I can't look you in the eye
And tell you that I don't know why
‘Cause I do
But honey I can't change
Our love my baby
Is burned onto my heart
Just like staring at the sun
Like staring at the sun

Firecracker (Acoustic)
03:35
|

Hey little firecracker, baby tell me where you’ve been
I’ve been searching far and wide for you
You didn’t even call or write
Tell me what’s this boy to do?
Walked out the door without a word
But now the sun’s coming up
Over main street and I ain’t got a clue
Because the sun’s going down
Over me and you
When I close my eyes I still can see your face
Still hear the way you’d say my name
Oh and I bet you darling
Bet you my last breath
I still could find you in the dark
But now the sun’s coming up
Over main street and I ain’t got a clue
Because the sun’s going down
Over me and you
It’s only shadows
Only ghosts of me and you
They’ll haunt me
No matter what I do
And I can’t erase the sound
That my heart made when it all went down
But I still love you baby
And I always will
I always will
But the sun’s coming up
Over main street and I ain’t got a clue
‘Cause the sun’s going down
Over me and you
Still love you, still love you baby

Let it Lie (Acoustic)
04:02
|
|||
You get the summons I'll pay the fine
I know my place you can take your time
You take the high road, I'll take the blame
Or take me in your arms, it's all the same
I may never see dear
Or say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
If you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone
And let it lie
Let it lie
I needed less, you wanted more
I shuffled my feet you slammed the door
I was just happy to sit and sing
Oh but darling, you wanted everything
Oh…
I may never see dear
Or say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
If you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone
And let it lie
Let it lie
You say I'm selfish, that may be right
And that my songs can’t keep me warm at night
So you go your way I'll go mine
I know your hurting, but you'll be just fine
Oh…
I may never see dear
Say the words you want to hear
I can't always be the one to swallow my pride
But if you let your walls down
Maybe you would know how
To leave this alone
And let it lie
Let it lie
Let it lie
Let it lie

I Am the Fool (Acoustic)
04:06
|
|||
Look out little rodeo rider
Little girl you ride so fast
That’s a rough track you’re travelling on
Hope you can make your ride last
Sweet as apple blossom
Bright as the clear blue above
Them demons is hot on your trail
Oh and you, you’re trying to hide behind love
I am the fool
Baby who loves you
You can run as fast
And as far as you can
You never gonna escape from your past
Sometimes your past is all you ever have
I am the fool
Baby who loves
I really fell for you
I was not planning to
Out of the blue
I was out of my mind
Nothing can stop love
Nobody can top love
But, is this love?
Honey it’s so unkind
Unkind of love
I am the fool
Baby who loves you
I am the fool
Baby who cares
I could stand here on you back porch
Forever and a day
Listen to you curse my name
‘Till your hair turns grey
Take care and keep your chin up
I know you’re going to be just fine
Gonna miss your sweet, sweet loving
It’s your line of goods I just ain’t buying
I am the fool
Baby who loves you
I am the fool
Baby who cares

Made Up Mind (Acoustic)
03:27
|
|||
It starts out slow
With go ahead and go
Pretty soon the melody is like a rain storm tin roof symphony
It starts out slow
It goes on and on
For way too long
It always ends on a bad note
If you could dance at all you’d dance alone
It goes on and on
The quiet behind a slamming door
The break of a heart that won’t break no more
Get away wheels in a straight line
Serenade of a made up mind
There ain’t no rhyme
Just wasted time
Moonlight spotlight shining down on
A made up mind and a love gone wrong
There ain’t no rhyme
The quiet behind a slamming door
The break of a heart that won’t break no more
Get away wheels in a straight line
Serenade of a made up mind
The quiet behind a slamming door
The break of a heart that won’t break no more
Get away wheels in a straight line
Serenade of a made up mind
Of a made up mind
(Moonlight spotlight shining down on)

Greenhouse (Acoustic)
05:14
|
|||
You're a cold day in August
You're a stream too shallow
You're a heart shaped box
With no letter inside
You're a seed unplanted
You're a field run fallow
Your heart's used up
You're feeling cast aside
I'm sorry that I left so soon
I left you standing at the gallows
You were all strung out
The hangman waiting for the sign
Come see me at the greenhouse
In the back yard
Come see me at the oak tree
With our names carved in the bark
Come see me at the train tracks
Bring some pennies for old time's sake
Even though I'm gone
There's some memories that you need to take
With you
Now you're working up the courage
Just to get yourself through that doorway
A big world outside
You're afraid of what you'll find
Now you're leaning on friends
Finding comfort and laughter
You're patching up your heart
And finding some piece of mind
I'm sorry that I left so soon
You're stepping down from the gallows
You were all strung up
The hangman waiting for the sign
Come see me at the greenhouse
In the back yard
Come see me at the oak tree
With our names carved in the bark
Come see me at the train tracks
Bring some pennies for old time's sake
Even though I'm gone
There's some memories that you need to take
With you
You found a new lover
You went and got yourself married
You're doing all the things that we never got to do
You had yourself a baby she's beautiful and happy
Oh lord how I wish I could have given that to you
But I left too soon
I was standing at the gallows
I was all strung up
I gave the hangman the sign
You don't need me at the greenhouse
In the backyard
You don't need me at the oak tree
With our names carved in the bark
Don't make it to the train tracks
Bringing pennies for old times sake
There's new memories that you need to make
It's time for me to fade away
I'm going home

Bend my knee at the altar of scarred and broken girls
Be good to you honey watch your heart uncurl
Lay it on the line
till there's a kink in my spine
Spin me around, you're drowning my head
Racing through my veins like a thoroughbred
Leaves me feeling dirty
Makes you feel sturdy
Now you say that your mine, I know it ain't true
All those others boys sharing your love too
Leaves me feeling dirty
Makes you feel worthy
Ohh...
I can't outrun you
You're just too fast
I'm burning up like
I'm too close to the sun
I live in a fishbowl
Swimming round in circles
You're tappin' on the glass
You're having trouble sleeping it's late when you call
Crying like the stars are all gonna fall
Unless I come a running
Babe there's always something
You're a wolf in pretty clothing just trying to sneak by
Anything, but the truth you know is a lie
I'm fooling myself
You ain't never gonna change, no
Ohh...
Oh, I can't outrun you
You're just too fast
I'm burning up like
I'm too close to the sun
I live in a fishbowl
Swimming round in circles
You're tapping on the glass
Tappin' on the glass

Runaway Train (Acoustic)
03:37
|
|||
Well I'm singing your name like a meditation
Breaking your heart with no consolation
I'm paying no heed to our situation
I'm a runaway train
Ain't no use in conversation
'Cause darling I'm the source of your frustration
Given you more than a demonstration
I'm a runaway train
And if you feel you
Need somebody baby don't you call on me
‘Cause I'll only leave you
Lying like a quarter on a railroad track
I won't look back
I can't look back
I'm a runaway train
Some might say that I'm a lonesome case
Others might say that I lost my way
If there's a god there'll be hell to pay
For this runaway train
And if you feel you
Need somebody baby don't you call on me
'Cause I'll only leave you
Lying like a quarter on a railroad track
I can’t look back
I won’t look back
I’m a runaway train
Runaway

Nothing (Acoustic)
05:24
|
|||
If I were to lose my senses
My mind, it were to bend
My poetry turned to bumbling
My songs all turned to sand
If I had to live my last days
As a crazy old fool
I'd be so very happy
To say I lived with you
And if the moon she fell a streaming
A shooting-star tail long in tow
The stars slid downward
Onto the cosmic floor
The night sky'd shine no longer
Just darkness through and through
I'd still smile so very gladly
To say I lived with you
At least I've had some love
To carry me through
If I lived forever, and ever, and never
Had that feeling again
I'd lose nothing
Nothing
If my hometown disowned me
My name dragged to the ground
The trains all led to nowhere
The planes came crashing down
If the grass lost it's green
And the sea lost it's blue
I'd see rose coloured memories
Of the days I lived with you
At least I've had some love
To carry me through
If I lived forever, and ever, and never
Had that feeling again
I'd lose nothing
Nothing
I’d lose nothing
I’ve lost nothing

I'm going to the country
Gonna find some peace of mind
I'm going to the country
Gonna find some peace of mind
I'm going to the country
Just to see what I can find
Well I used to have a woman
Now I'm a solitary man
Yeah, I used to have a woman
Now I'm a solitary man
Yeah, I used to have a woman
But I made myself another plan
So long babe
Well, some people think I'm running
Others say I'm going blind
Some people think I'm running
Others say I'm going blind
Well, I might have been foolish
But I've never ever been unkind
Well, I’ve seen the highest mountains
And the valleys down below
Yeah, I’ve seen the highest mountains
And the valleys down below
Yeah, I'm going to the country
It’s the only place that feels like home
Yeah, it feels like home
(Big sky country, big sky country)

Where Were We (Acoustic)
03:38
|
|||
Where were we?
We were barely visible
Like headlights through the snow
You can't tell one from two, don't you know?
A world apart
Our hands divide the space
Not sure where to rest our eyes
While the years are passing by
It's easy to spot the Northern Star
Much harder to know just where you are
These things will deceive you
Leave you dumbfounded and spinning
Leave you reeling and grinning like a fool
But we're not the ones who follow
The footprints in the snow
Without knowing where they go
Where were we?
Closing in
The clouds are boiling overhead
We saw this thing coming
But we looked away instead
You can change the paint
Move the tables and the chairs
It's not how to fix what's broken
It's not getting us anywhere
It's easy to spot the Northern Star
Much harder to know just where you are
These things will deceive you
Leave you dumbfounded and spinning
Leave you reeling and grinning like a fool
But we're not the ones who follow
The footprints in the snow
Without knowing where they go?
Your heart won't mislead you
Or lead you astray
Please leave the light on
So I can find my way
These things will deceive you
Leave you dumbfounded and spinning
Leave you reeling and grinning like a fool
But we're not the ones who follow
The footprints in the snow
Without knowing where they go?
Where were we?
Where were we?
