- Anywhere But Here
This road is going nowhere
And these, these shoes are worn too thin
As always should haves where I'm going
As always could haves where I've been.
And all the things the I've said
and the road up ahead don't mean nothing don't mean nothing
and the things that I've done and the man I've become disappear
- Country Boy
Well I grew up down an old dirt road in a town you wouldn’t know.
My Pops picked the place up for fifteen hundred bucks back in 1964.
My grandfather was a drinker back in the day *he* put em down
but a war is known to change a man and the whiskeys known to change the man
but no that’s not me.
I rarely drink from a bottle
but I’ll smoke a little weed.
- Endless Summer
In the mornin' on a Saturday
I got my girls and we're skippin' town
In my '67 442 got the rag top down
Aldean's on the radio
Ain't it funny how they sing along
Makes you smile just a little bit because it's not a Miley Cyrus song
These are the moments we can share
- Forever
Another cheap high-rise hotel room.
Another place another show.
Another meaning-less,
Destination with nowhere to go.
Another time to say "I love you".
Another time to say "Good night".
Another time to hear a dial tone,
- Granddaddy's Gun
It sets above the mantel on a couple rusty nails
And it's worth a lot of money
And it damn sure ain't for sale
The good lord only knows all the stories it could tell
My Granddaddy's gun
He bought it new out of the sears and robuck catalog
And it shot a many a shells over the back of an old bird dog
- I Lost it All
I might not go to heaven because I spent my time in hell
Never claimed to know the answers but I faked it pretty well
And I walked straight through the valley full of shadows and the death
And I've learned a lot of lessons but they haven't killed me yet
Chorus
But I've lost it all, tried to make it through my pain
I've lost it all, It will never be the same
- Lessons Learned
I've walked a mile in the shoes of a broken man
I've fallen down a thousand times and got up again
there's times I've talked to god like he's my only friend
There's time it seems the devil's trying to take me by the hand
In life, sometimes you gotta slow it down a little bit
take time, rewind, appreciate the little things that life provides to you
- Massachusetts
I sit here on the stairs and listen to
The night time as the daylight fades away
It's such a haunting and familiar tune
And when I hear it in the distance I can say
That I'm home
In Massachusettes
Where my daughters and my wife they wait for me
- Right Here
I know I've been mistaken
But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face
But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
- Something To Remind You
so this is it
i say goodbye
to this chapter of my everchanging life
these mistakes
the path is long
and im sure ill answer for them when im gone
when the day comes in
- Tangled Up In You
You're my world,
The shelter from the rain.
You're the pills,
To take away the pain.
You're the light,
So I can find my way.
You're the words,
- The Third Degree
They accused me of forgery
I couldn't write my name
They accused me of lookin'
And I didn't see a thing
Didn't mean to cause no trouble
And I meant no bodily harm
All I had was this body
And the muscle in this arm
- Vicious Circles
If I could walk on water like jesus did before
If I knew all the answers to keep you coming back for more
If I could paint a picture and then cut off my own ear
If I chose all the right colors would this just dissapear?
Because we're running in vicious circles
Until we're dizzy with disdain
and there's miles and miles between us
- Whiskey and You
There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And its empty so right now I don't feel a thing
I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor and I'll be over it by noon
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you
Come tomorrow, I can walk into a store
It ain't a problem, yeah, they'll always sell me more
But your forgiveness is something I can't buy, ain't a thing that I can do
- Zoe Jane
Well I want you to notice
To notice when I'm not around
And I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound
[Chorus:]
I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I've already endured
