"A Bible And A Bus Ticket Home"

Mamma's tears fell so easy
Daddy's handshake was strong
Then I climbed aboard that Greyhound
Eighteen and glad to be gone

Took a rented room on broadway

Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth

"April Fool"

I'm just a fool for April
There's nothing more to say
Long as I can remember
She's led my heart astray
When I was green as willow
She had me ditchin' school

"Dancing With No Music Playing"

Me in my rented tuxedo, you in your big sister’s dress
I could hear my own heart beating, when you laid your head on my chest.
No telling how long it was since the last song
With the band gone and the lights all faded.
All alone on that gym floor, dancing with no music playing.

Most everybody's got
A secret dresser drawer
Or an old shoebox
A back bedroom closet door
And maybe when it rains
Or when nobody else is home
We open it
And find we're really not alone...

"Hearts Are For When You Want To Love Someone"

Trees are for climbing
And holes are for digging in
And friends are for when your having fun
And hearts are for when you want to love someone

Dogs are for hugging

It's that feeling that someone
Is standing behind me
And I turn around and there's no one there
And it's the sensation
That someone just whispered
Yeah and I still hear your voice but you're not really here
Your memory is like a ghost
And my heart is it's host

"I'm Gonna Love You"

Hey baby doll, hey sweet potato
I love you now and I'll love you later
I’m gonna love you for your whole life through
Hey jelly bean, hey belly button
You ain’t gonna have to worry ‘bout nothin’
I’ll be there to take good care of you

"Josephine"

I'm writin' this letter, my darlin, from high on a hill.
We've been marchin' ten days and we're just outside Hawkinsville.
It's been snowin' all night and we ain't got no more kersosene.
It's colder than hell,
Hope you're doin' well,
Josephine.

"Latter Day Cowboy"

When the boy was no more than a shaver
His old man told many a tale
How his great grandad used to go drovin'
Back and forth on the Oachezown Trail
Now you might say the boy got infected
By a fantasy of the old west

"Love Remains"

We are born one fine day
Children of God on our way
Mama smiles daddy cries
Miracle before their eyes
They protect us til' we're of age
Through it all love remains

I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said," Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy din like me noone, but I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together
Get married in the first towm we come to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead
i found this letter and this is what it said

"Man Of My Word"

I'm a man of my word
I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond
Well
that's just my way
When you've made a promise

She said we're much too different
We're from two separate worlds
And he admitted she was partly right
But in his heart's defense he told her
What they had in common
Was strong enough to bond them for life
He said look behind your own soul
And the person that you'll see

"Nothin' A Little Love Won't Cure"

It's been one of those days I can do no right
I can't win for losing try as I might
I'm feeling walked on like an old doormat
And Lord, I hate feeling like that
Though my best laid plans took a slight detour
Ain't nothing a little love won't cure.

"On The Verge"

Well they shouldn't have played that good
I got carried away and let the music go to my head
Well she shouldn't have worn that dress
The way it curled around when she was spinning
Just killed me dead.

"Open Arms"

Lying beside you, here in the dark,
feeling your heart beat with mine.
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere.
How could our love be so blind?
We sailed on together, we drifted apart,
and here you are by my side.

VERSE I: Nobody thinks about that stuff.
Like, how tall he might have been, or how fast he could’ve run.
They just stare as he rolls by.
All they see is a helpless kid, with no chance to live a life.
If they only knew . . .

CHORUS: He’s got dreams of breaking ribbons in a hundred yard dash,
Climbing up a snow-capped mountain & planting his flag.

"Sadly Ever After"

We had a storybook beginning getting better with each page
Somewhere in the middle I somehow lost my place
Then came the final chapter where you said we were through
And left me living sadly ever after loving you

Sadly ever after since you said goodbye

"Somebody Else's Moon"

I look out my window at the world I once owned
And I see it's still spinning round
But somewhere above me a light I once knew
No longer shines through the clouds

But that's somebody else's moon tonight

"Someone You Used To Know"

I ain't gonna lie to you
And say it didn't hurt
To see you with someone new
And you were wearing my old blue shirt

But it didn't kill me until we said hello

"Start Over Georgia"

I think I feel like an old beat up two lane
The one that the state's not about to repair
From where I'm falling I think I might meet you
Below where we were just above just don't care
The way the world's changing I just can't accept it
No right or wrong all in between

"Sweet Miss Behavin'"

Sweet miss behavin'
Honey now is it true
You got the whole town talkin'
About the things you do
They say you're trouble
But trouble never looked so good

How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you

I was living for a dream, loving for a moment
Taking on the world, that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever

"The Time Machine"

He circled and stared
Nervous and scared
He knew both the thrill and the cost
But he didn't think twice
This amazing device
Was his last chance to see what he'd lost

(Tim Nichols/Craig Wiseman)

I was young and so was she
Love didn't stay a mystery for very long
We could do no wrong
Then she called to say
She was late
So we took a little drive upstate

"We'll Be Alright"

Today the pain we feel is cuttin' deeper
The faith that we had yesterday is all twisted inside
We don't know how to go about tomorrow
But we'll be alright

And though the walls may crumble all around us

"What They Don't Know"

Three kids gathered in a huddle
Broomstick fishing pole hanging in a puddle
They think they can catch that big one anywhere
And I ain't gonna tell them
Boys there ain't no fish in there

If you've ever wondered
When you pray at night
If it makes a difference
If it sets things right

Everytime we say our prayers
Whispered in the dark
Somewhere deep inside you
