- A Feelin' Like That
I stepped out into the blue felt the wind hit my face,
Before my chute opened I felt my heart race.
I was fallin'
Nop, that's just fallin'
And off the coast of Australia I dove way down deep
For all that I saw of that Great Barrier Reef
It was nothin', compared to you it was nothin'.
- As Long As You're Looking Back
But your back turned
And the knife fell
And you swear that
Payback
Is gonna be hell
Now you just cant trust anybody
Cuz a friend was just a snake in the grass
- Best I Ever Had
So you sailed away into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay, love can be so boring
And nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now.
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
- Highway Junkie
A hundred cups of coffee,
Five hundred cigarettes
A thousand miles of highway
And I ain't forgot her yet
But I keep on movin',
I keep movin' down the line
There ain't nothin' in my mirror
- I Can Love You
I can't stop your heart from breaking,
Can't make right mistakes we've made,
Can't dry your crying eyes,
For my little angels sake,
I can't make the sun keep smiling,
Or blow away the clouds,
There's some things in this old world girl,
I can't do nothing bout,
- I'm Doin' My Best
"I'm Doin' My Best"
Single six months yesterday
Thought I oughta celebrate
So I went down to grab a couple beers
And I got so drunk I ripped my pants
I asked the bouncer for a dance
- Kiss Me When I'm Down
It’s been a year since last weekend when you swung by with an old friend
Carried out our future box by box
Stack of mail a tube of toothpaste
An empty zeppelin three cd case
Still a few things here that you forgot
They’re just a bad excuse
Just something I can use
To call you
- Learning How To Bend
I'm still learning how to pray
Trying hard not to stray
Try to see things your way
I'm still learning how to pray
I'm still learning how to trust
It's so hard to open up
And I'd do anything for us
I'm still learning how to trust
- Learning To Live With Me
I used to wish that I was
Great as any man
Better than I am
Could do things no one can
And I used to wish that I was cool as I could be
But now I'm learning to live with me
Is anybody satisfied with who they really are
- Life Ain't Always Beautiful
Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down
It can break your heart
Life ain't always beautiful
You think, you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road
- No Regrets
She’s been gone about three years
It’s been a long road and a million tears
I’m movin slow but I’m movin on
The sweetest memories still remain
The laughter we had and the love that we made
Every night I go to bed alone
With no regrets
- Putting My Misery On Display
I live in my own world on 18 wheels
Playing music and writing songs about the way I feel
Tonight I'll play my guitar for you
I'll pour my heart out and tonight it's blue
So gather round and watch me play
I'm putting my misery on display
I was raised with the West Coast bands
- Right Where I Need To Be
There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight
Destination New Orleans
Boss man says my big promotion's on the line
He says that's right where I need to be
Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home
All this leavin' her alone is killin' me
And holdin' her right now has got me thinkin' more and more
- Runaway
As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done together
While our hearts were young
- See If I Care
I saw you walking down the street last night,
I saw him walking by your side,
I saw the way he stopped and held you tight,
I saw the look in your eyes,
Go on and tell him that you love him,
Go on and show him he's the one,
Go on and give him every sacred thing that you used to save for us,
- She's So California
She's a warm summer breeze with bleach blonde hair
Like a fine red wine she can take you there
She's a walk in the sand at sunset
She's the top pulled down on the 405
She'll take you higher than Humbolt sky
She's an earthquake
And you're the fault line
So, when you feel the ground, start movin' around
- Today
Trying to keep a candle burning in a hurricane That's what it's like when you love me and you leave me this way Like a dove crying out when he's lost the will to fly Yeah.. shackled down to the earth by your long chain of lies Well, I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it today I can't do it today I can see you dancing in that stranger's arms My world hasn't stopped turning but it's falling apart Every breath that I take's a little closer to sane Yeah, they say that time is a healer but it's still a long, long ways away 'Cuz, I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it today I can't do it today Go on and do it today There'a a part of me that wishes I could just forget But I haven't found the mercy yet No mercy yet 'Cuz I'll forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it today I just can't do it today I just can't do it today I just can't do it today Wanna do it today Can't do it today Not gonna do it today
- Watching Airplanes
Sitting out here on the hood of this truck looking up
At a caramel colored sunset sky
Checking my watch doing the math in my head
Counting back words to when you said goodbye
Well those runway lights are getting brighter
I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes take off and fly
Trying to figure out which one you might be on
- When You Give Yourself Away
When you give yourself away
Love becomes somethin' that you do
Not just somethin' that you say
Ain't it funny how a smile
Makes the world a better place
When you give yourself away
When you open up your heart
- Wrecking Ball
I shoulda known when I caught the glance
That girl just wasn't no count
I shoulda run but she started to dance
That's when the money ran out
Well, she's a heartbreaker, I'm a mess
She's a tornado, I'm a trailer house, that girl's a hurricane in a dress
