Good At Falling (2010)

You've Got Someone
You can't neglect the one who loves you
or that love might go somewhere new
You can't neglect the one who loves you
or that love might go somewhere new
Then how can you blame them
when you'd the same thing too
It's what you'd do
It's what you'd do
Just treat them kind
Spend some time
Treat them nice
and soon you'll find
You've got someone who loves you
They won't need nobody new
You've got someone who loves you
They won't need nobody new
Nobody new
Nobody new
Nobody new
Nobody new
You can't neglect the one who loves you
or that love might go somewhere new
Safe
I can't read the papers
I can't watch the news
It never does fail
It always gives me the blues
Dear Lord I pray
Keep my loves ones safe
Get me back home
Before the break of day
So I'll be on the highway
Before the night
By the time the moon is high
I'll be out of sight
Dear Lord I pray
Keep my loves ones safe
Get me back home
Before the break of day
So Easy
When you're stuck in a sad situation
Everybody will have some advice
They all see such an easy solution
Before they tell you they won't think twice
But don't you listen to them
Just shut it out
Look within yourself
to work it out
It's always so easy
When they're not in your shoes
It's always so easy
They've got nothing to lose
It's always so easy
When they're not in your shoes
But when their time comes
It won't be quite so easy to choose
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
To choose
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
When you're stuck in a sad situation
Everybody will have some advice
They all see such an easy solution
Before they tell you they won't think twice
But don't you listen to them
Just shut it out
Look within yourself
to work it out
It's always so easy
When they're not in your shoes
It's always so easy
They've got nothing to lose
It's always so easy
When they're not in your shoes
But when their time comes
It won't be quite so easy to choose
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
To choose
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Wasted Days
Do you remember when we were younger
Things were so simple back then
We were pretending
We were just children
Now I look back on all the days
They all blur together in a haze
We were just playing games
We were children
And I'm glad I wasted those days with you
I'm so glad I wasted those days with you
If it's true what they say
And we're all just wasting away
I'm still glad I wasted those days with you
Do you remember when you were younger
Things were so simple back then
You were pretending
You were just children
Will you look back on all the days
Will they blur together in a haze
Will your hearts remain
Just like children
And I'm glad I wasted those days with you
I'm so glad I wasted those days with you
If it's true what they say
And we're all just wasting away
I'm still glad I wasted those days with you
(Instrumental)
I'm so glad I wasted those days with you
I'm so glad I wasted those days with you
It's not true what they say
We're not just wasting away
I'm so glad I wasted those days with you
I'm so glad I wasted those days with you
Start Again
Who I was ain't who I am
I am reborn
Goodbye old man
I found the will no one can kill
It fills the void inside
like nothing else will
I believe in the promiseland
I believe we can start again
I believe in the promiseland
I believe we can start again
(Instrumental)
I found the world had sold me a lie
Then I realized
My soul was the price
I held a grudge for the pain I'd endured
Then your love, it came along
And it gave me the cure
I believe in the promiseland
I believe we can start again
I believe in the promiseland
I believe we can start again
I believe in the promiseland
I believe we can start again
I believe in the promiseland
I believe we can start again

Strange Light (2008)

Rising – Did you hear that rumbling sound? All the animals are running for higher ground! Did you hear that rumbling sound? All the people are running for higher ground! On the horizon! The water’s rising! On the horizon! The water’s rising! Did you hear that rumbling sound? All the animals are running for higher ground! Did you hear that rumbling sound? All the people are running for higher ground! On the horizon! The water’s rising! On the horizon! The water’s rising! On the horizon! The water’s rising! On the horizon! The water’s rising! On the horizon! The water’s rising!
Running Back to You – I’ve got to make this right. You are the one who makes the day bright. I’ll set my soul at ease. I’ve just got to tell you what you mean to me. You are the one that I need. Without your love there my life feels so incomplete. Want you to know you complete me and now I know I’ll always be running back to you. Running back to you. Running back to you, etc… This is what love’s all about. Throws open windows. It gets the dust out. I hope you’ll always know. I’m so glad you’ve shown me how my love can grow. Can’t stand to leave you alone!  Anywhere I go, I’ll pick up the phone. Oh, how you’ve set me free. Now I know I’ll always be running back to you.  Running back to you. Running back to you, etc…
Break of Day - Can’t read the paper, can’t watch the news. It never does fail it always gives me the blues. So I’ll be on the highway before the night. By the time the moon is high I’ll be out of sight. Dear lord I pray, please keep my loved ones safe and get me back home…before the break of day. Well I think I’ll leave this town for awhile. I’ve got this feeling in my bones and it makes me smile. Got to hit the road…play these blues away. I’m gonna play my song until they feel okay. Dear lord I pray, please keep my loved ones safe and get me back home… before the break of day.
Shelter - You’ve got worries…worries on your mind. Leave your troubles. No troubles in mind. Shelter, Shelter from the storm. You need shelter, shelter from the storm. You need shelter, shelter from the storm. You need shelter, shelter from the storm. We can take a journey at the speed of light. No need to hurry. We’ll just forget the time. Shelter, Shelter from the storm. You need shelter, shelter from the storm. You need shelter, shelter from the storm. You need shelter, shelter from the storm. You’ve got it drawn out but i don’t believe a word. You’ve seen it all somehow that seems so absurd. Did i hear you say that the evidence lacks? Then why do you look like you’ve been to hell and back?
Somebody Somewhere – Somebody somewhere is crying. Someone who hurt them is lying. What’s the use? What’s the use in denying? There are some wrongs we should be righting. They need someone who will understand. They need somebody who will lend a helping hand. There’s no use in denying. Somebody somewhere stopped trying. Somebody somewhere is dying. When will we stop this fighting? There are some wrongs we should be righting. What’s the use? What’s the use in denying? They need somebody who will understand. They need somebody who will lend a helping hand. A helping hand… A helping hand… A helping hand.
Where Does She Go? - Where does she go when she leaves me all alone? Where does she go when she leaves me all alone? I sit here waiting…waiting for the phone. I never thought I could… I could feel so low. Well if you see her…tell her to hurry home. What wrong did I do? Oh she leaves me feeling blue. What wrong did I do? That girl I love, she says we’re through. I sit here waiting…waiting for the phone. I never thought I could… I could feel so low. Well if you see her…tell her to hurry home.
Old River - Old River, Don’t rise up and carry me away! Old River, Don’t rise up and carry me away! Don’t let this be my dying day! I’ve got so many things I want to say! Those things I’ve left unsaid! Those things undone! You’ve got to give me one last chance before oblivion! The river is rising up over the road! The next thing you know it’ll be raining toads! The river is rising up over the road! The next thing you know it’ll be raining toads! Don’t let this be my dying day! I’ve got so many things I want to say! Those things I’ve left unsaid! Those things undone! You’ve got to give me one last chance before oblivion!
Feel Alive - You can say you know me but do you know me well? Will you go to Heaven or will you go to Hell? You’ve got all these pressures selling you and telling you what matters. Are you moving up the ladder? Is your pocket getting fatter? They calculate their lies and they sell them as the truth. They’ll try to trick your mind but their rotten to the root. All the money in the world won’t make you feel alive. When you feel alive it’s not something you buy. When you feel alive… When you feel alive… They calculate their lies and they sell them as the truth. They’ll try to trick your mind but their rotten through and through. All the money in the world won’t make you feel alive. When you feel alive it’s not something you buy. When you feel alive…When you feel alive…Every single boy and girl is born within the Light. It’s all these things we say and do…we wind up losing sight. I am just the messenger. Shoot me if you like. But all the violence in the world it still won’t make you right.
Same Old Story - So your baby went and left you…Never even said a word! It’s the same old sorry story. How many times has it been heard? Even when your heart is broken, you’ve got to let them go. Even when your love feels deep, sometimes it’s best just to let them leave. So your baby went and left you…Never even said a word! It’s the same old sorry story. How many times has it been heard? Even when your heart is broken, you’ve got to let them go. Even when your love feels deep, sometimes it’s best just to let them leave.
Stumblin' - What can I do? What can I do to get through to you? Come on tell me. What can I do to get through to you? If I swim across the ocean, Would it stop you from stumbling with the blind? What can I say? What can I say to make you see my way? C’mon tell me. What can I say to make you see my way? If I climb the highest mountain, Would it stop you from stumbling with the blind? If I swim across the ocean, Would it stop you from stumbling with the blind?
Leave My Sorrows - I will leave my sorrows. They won’t see tomorrow. No no no no no no no no no no no. Say goodbye…say goodbye to my blues. I will leave my sorrows. They won’t see tomorrow. No no no no no no no no no no no. Say goodbye…say goodbye to my blues.
Rattlesnake Blues - Ive been so blue yeah…it ain’t no lie. Rattlesnake slides up next to me and he starts to cry. And he starts to cry! I’ve been so blue yeah…you best believe. Rattlesnake slides up next to me and he starts to weep. And he starts to weep! I’ve been so blue yeah…it ain’t no lie. Rattlesnake slides up next to me and he starts to cry. And he starts to cry!
Promiseland - Who I was ain’t who I am. I am reborn. Goodbye, old man. I found the will no one can kill. It fills a hole that nothing else will. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again. I found the world had sold me a lie…Then I found out my soul was the price. I held a grudge for the pain I’d endured. Your love came along and it gave me the cure. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again. I believe in the Promise land. I believe we can all start again.

The Signs (2007)

Leavin’ – I wanted to tell you… Darlin’ you know I did the best I could…but now I see baby… Now I see you didn’t mean me no good. That’s why I’m leavin’ in the morning. I don’t even know where I might go. I can’t take much more of this before I’m out the door. There’s one thing I know for sure. I’ve got to get out before you bring me too low. That’s why I’m leavin’ in the morning. I don’t even know where I might go. When that woman said she loved me I now believe that she was lying. She won’t pay me no mind. Now all I do is sit and cry. That’s why I’m leavin’ in the morning. I don’t even know where I might go.
Love’s So Strong – Baby, don’t do me wrong. Baby, you know my love’s so strong. I thought I’d get through to you by now. I thought I’d get through to you somehow. Baby, there ain’t nothin’ wrong. Baby, when you’re love’s so strong. I thought I’d get through by now. I thought I’d get through to you somehow. (Gotta get through somehow.) I thought I’d get through by now. I thought I’d get through to you somehow.
Come Back Home – If you’ve wandered from the path, you can still make your way back. It doesn’t matter how far you’ve gone. You can always come back home. You can always come back home, etc… If you’ve wandered from the path, you can still make your way back. It doesn’t matter how far you’ve gone. You can always come back home. You can always come back home, etc… You can always come back home. You can always come back home, etc…
Next Time – Oh I cannot believe you could treat me that way. After all of those things that I heard you say. But I know the next time I won’t be so blind. Yeah I know the next time I’ll be a little more wise. I know the next time I won’t be so blind. Yeah I know the next time I’ll be a little more wise. Oh I cannot believe you could treat me that way. After all of those things that I heard you say. But I know the next time I won’t be so blind. Yeah I know the next time I’ll be a little more wise. I know the next time I won’t be so blind. Yeah I know the next time I’ll be a little more wise.
Homewrecker Rehab Blues – So you’re lost in the night and you don’t think you could ever find the light? So you say you’re feelin’ down and you don’t think you can ever turn it around?  (Oh no) Don’t be afraid. It’s not too late to make a change.  If you never see the light, how can you tell when it gets dark? If you never face the end, how will you ever know where to start? Don’t be afraid. It’s not too late to make a change. You say you’ve been searching for a sign? Just one, or two, or three to ease your mind. (You’re worried mind). Listen to what I’m sayin’ it ain’t no lie. The signs are there all the time. You’ve just gotta open up your eyes. Open your eyes. The signs are there all the time.
Same Old Story (Acoustic) - So your baby went and left you…Never even said a word! It’s the same old sorry story. How many times has it been heard? Even when your heart is broken, you’ve got to let them go. Even when your love feels deep, sometimes it’s best just to let them leave. So your baby went and left you…Never even said a word! It’s the same old sorry story. How many times has it been heard? Even when your heart is broken, you’ve got to let them go. Even when your love feels deep, sometimes it’s best just to let them leave.

And Then...
I woke up from a dream
Walked through my door into the street
And it came as a surprise
I floated up into the sky
I woke up from a dream
Walked through my door into the street
And then it came as a surprise
I floated up into the sky
I woke up from a dream
I woke up from a dream
I woke up from a dream

How I Feel
More than half the time
I've spent not knowing how I feel
Then you came along, I fall
Now show me what is real
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind
More than half the time
I've spent not knowing how I feel
Then you came along, I fall
Now show me what is real
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you out of my mind

Run And Hide
Well if you see me a comin

You best run and hide
Well if you see me a comin
You best run and hide
If you look in my eyes
and see the fire
Yeah, run and hide
Run and hide
Run and hide
Run and hide

Long Gone
You done me wrong
Pretty girl, you done me wrong
One day you'll want me baby
You'll reach for me and I'll be gone
One day you'll want me pretty girl
You'll reach for me baby and I'll be long gone
Long gone
Long gone
I should walked right out the door
Instead of weepin' on the floor
I should walked right out the door
Instead of weepin' upon the floor
One day you'll want me pretty girl

Long gone

Beat Up Car Blues
You know I love you baby
And I always will
But lately your lovin's got me
Got me feelin' ill
You know I love you baby
And I always will
You got the worse kinda lovin'
Now I'm flat broke and can't pay my bills
You know you broke my heart
It's broken down and torn apart
You know you broke my heart
Wrecked my life like some beat up car
You got the worse kinda lovin'
Now I'm in the scrapyard, stripped down for parts

Lovesick
I saw you again today
Every time it kills me just to see you
Did you get the letter that I mailed?
I feel better now I hope that you weren't scared.
It's just at time I come unglued
At the thought of losing you
I will always be yours
I will always be yours
Even though you'll never know my name
They found you yesterday
Lying in your hotel room
It remains a mystery
They'll never know what happened
What happened to you
It's just at time I come unglued
At the thought of losing you
I will always be yours
I will always be yours
No one gets close enough to know you
Let me be the one to show you
Lovesick everyday it grew and grew
I will make you love me too
Some people say there was foul play
And maybe you were killed
All I have to say is
If I can't have you, no one will
I will always be yours
(Even though you'll never know my name)
I will always be yours
(Even though you'll never know my name)
I will always be yours
(Even though you'll never know my name)
I will always be yours

In The Movies
Was it a dream?
That's how it seemed
So surreal
Like a scene in the movies
Like a scene in the movies
Are you an angel?
Sent down from heaven
Are you an angel?
Sent down to save me
Sent down to save me
Sent down to save me
Sent down to save me
