Broken Hearted

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

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

Follow You Always
03:35

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

You Would Know
02:54

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

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

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

Won't Be Long

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

Happy Hour Blues
03:14

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.
