Living alone ain't no easy way to be But I’m starting to think it’s the only way for me I don’t cheat and I ain't lyin And it ain't for a lack of tryin Let’s get started lets get broken hearted tonight I got a new suit, I got a haircut, I got a shave From that pretty girl, I couldn’t even get a wave I ain’t never told a lie And I’d love you if you let me try Let’s get started lets get broken hearted tonight Oh won’t you hold me now Cuz I don’t remember how Could you walk away This could all be yours someday Won’t you make me cry, won’t you make me weep and moan Cuz at this point I’d rather be sad than be alone I’ve been by myself so long All I can hear are the saddest songs Let’s get started lets get broken hearted tonight

A Mile Away 03:18
Another year, blink of an eye Love me today, we’ll never die Darlin' won’t you lay your burden down I’m tired of watching you drag that thing around Walk away with me, don’t hear a thing they say, And they’ll hear us laughing from a mile away Hush my dear, don’t say a word I’m right here, and in case you haven’t heard The sun is gonna shine again someday We just need to get out of the way Walk away with me, don’t hear a word they say, And they’ll hear us laughing from a mile away The answer’s clear, it’s time to leave It’s dark out there, and hard to believe The sun is gonna shine again someday We just need to get out of the way Walk away with me, don’t hear a word they say And they’ll hear us laughing from a mile away And they’ll hear us laughing from a mile away

Sixteen years and the wind still whispers Every morning I still hear those words she said to me "Run away my dear, you can disappear But my love will follow you always" Like an echo, rolling through the pass Her words smash like broken glass She said, From Heaven above, my love From Heaven above My love will follow you always Eight straight days and the river’s still rising Listen closely, I still hear her laughing through the rain "You’ll never be the same, my love ain’t no game but my love will follow you always" Like an echo, rolling through the pass Her words smash like broken glass She said, "From Heaven above, my love From Heaven above My love will follow you always" Heaven Above, My Love Heaven Above, My Love

Lonesome sunshine, turning that green grass to brown Broken hearts, falling like leaves to the ground Summer has come and gone, and I’m praying for the rain Is there any way, to wash this all away You would know You would know The truth got ugly, so we told each other lies And we believed, maybe someday we be surprised But how do you carry on pretending that nothing’s changed, How do you walk away, from the one you loved yesterday You would know You would know So do what your gonna do cuz you can’t hurt me here I haven’t felt a thing in years So run, run, run away, let me know what you find Maybe another road, another place, another time I should have known I should have known

Comin' Home 03:24
People say that I’ve been, living too hard, for too long Just the same old song Song and dance with the devil, I got one hand on the shovel And it’s the only thing that’s holding me up Till I saw her standing there, red boots and long red hair Think I might stick around awhile Tell me why you looking at me honey, I must owe you some money Got to have a few days left I ain’t coming home I ain’t coming home tonight Now life’s been good, I’ve had more fun than I should I don’t know no other way to be So I couldn’t help be surprised, when I saw that look in your eyes Got to have a few days left I ain’t coming home I ain’t coming home tonight Now I’m in some trouble, and I got life pouring outta me It’s getting hard to see Why’d you go and do that mister, I had no idea she was your sister She’s the prettiest thing I’ll ever see I ain't coming home I ain't coming home

Annalee 03:03
There’s a girl I once knew She’s as pretty as the sky is blue I swear….it’s true She’s as mean as a rattlesnake Mean like that you just can’t fake Believe…...believe me Don’t believe Annalee My Heart is broke My face is red Not sure what it was I said Today, to make her leave If she love me It didn’t show Tell me something I didn’t know Today, about that girl My girl Annalee My girl Annalee Annalee, where’d it go so wrong My sister asked me My momma too Said boy what you gonna do Today, about that girl That girl Annalee Why’d she leave Where’d she go I don’t think I wanna know The Truth, about that girl My girl Annalee My girl Annalee My girl Annalee

Hello darkness my old friend Someone said it before, yeah I’ll say it again Cuz there’s a storm that’s comin in You’re about to begin To start lookin' round the way And there ain't a damn thing left to say Why’s it so hard for you to be nice You know I’ll try anything twice Where you runnin' too What you gonna do When it all comes crashing down And we’ll hear that familiar sound But it won’t be long - Till you come back to me You ain’t that strong - Darlin it’s plain to see I could be wrong like all those times before But I’ll just play along – cuz it won’t be long It’s always the same between me and you We ain’t exactly been each other’s dream come true Always runnin' round There ain’t no slowin' down Till our dying day And I’ll always be watching you walk away But it won’t be long - Till you come back to me You ain’t that strong - Darlin it’s plain to see I could be wrong like all those times before But I’ll just play along – cuz it won’t be long

Gettin' Gone 03:24
Living large two feet tall I don’t remember this place at all I ain’t waiting till dawn Getting my gear and I’m getting gone So run don’t walk today Before the day turns into the night Cuz I’m just too old to fight I don’t know where you been But I’m throwin signs and I’m waving you in And I’m gonna get gone and the gettin’s gonna be alright Here lies another day It didn’t need us anyway So run don’t walk today Gotta get from here to there And I’m just too old to care I don’t know what you heard But I’m charging hard and I’m rounding third And I’m gonna get gone and the getting’s gonna be alright Gone, gone, long gone Just another getting gone song There’s people I’ll miss But I don’t remember signing up for this So run don’t walk today Before today becomes tomorrow It’s a lot closer than it seems I got lots of places to roam I’ll tell you all about it after I steal home And I’m gonna get gone and the gettin’s gonna be alright There’s only one way to play Step up to the plate I’m gonna swing away And I’m gonna get gone and the getting’s gonna be alright

I saw her yesterday, she had a smile on her face And a big ‘ol diamond ring, on her finger I couldn’t help but say, was that the one who got away? Or was it, better him than me, I can’t remember. I had to smile when I heard the news But now I can’t shake these happy hour blues There’s a woman sitting next to me, seems she’s lost her company They walked in together, he walked out alone. Excuse if I say, he didn’t deserve you anyway This ain’t no place for a lady like you Stay awhile we’ve got nothing to lose Except maybe these ‘ol happy hour blues Excuse me mister, one more for me And two more for the lady, whatever she needs And three more for all of my good friends, that keep my company Don’t you worry bout nothing mister, this one’s on me I ain’t feeling no pain, I got no reason to complain Please don’t mind if I do it anyway It’s a beautiful day, at least that’s what I heard somebody say No time at all, I’ll be on my way In half an hour, I can’t afford the booze So let me enjoy my happy hour blues No, I don’t wanna shake these happy hour blues

The Ride 02:38
I won’t ask too much from you Just love me till the day I die Cuz it’s a cold and scary world And I don’t think I’m enjoying the ride But if I know something It’s that I don’t know nothing And there ain’t no time to be mean I got a strange feeling Nothing is as it seems Mama won’t you take my hand today I think I might just float away Heaven knows, it’s hell out there Sometimes its hard to just get through the day But if I know something It’s that I don’t know nothing Aint there ain’t enough time for me I got a strange feeling Nothing is as it seems Love is the answer darling Don’t let them take it away Just share this breath with me And let it float away Down the river to the sea Ya know we’re just along for the ride But there’s so much noise everywhere Sometimes it’s hard to find a place to hide But if I know something It’s that I don’t know nothing And that’s just fine with me I got a good feeling Nothing is as it seems.
