Charleston 02:47
lyrics
buy track
I cannot go to Charleston Baby can't you see Cause if I go to Charleston Our love will never be Cause inland what I love the most Is you, but down there on the coast I'm blinded by my true love for the sea I cannot go to Charleston This I know for sure Cause if I go to Charleston Our love will not endure You're the apple of my eye But once I see that coastal sky There won't be a reason to stay anymore I cannot go to Charleston With you be my side Cause if we go to Charleson Love won't be my guide Cause baby in a tidal zone I'll be swept away and windblown My love for you might ebb out with the tide I'm going down to Charleston My heart's already there So when I get to Charleston You just can't compare Cause good times end and beauty fades In the waves down by the shore But the ocean will be there evermore Yes the ocean will be there evermore

Stranger's Bed 02:33
lyrics
buy track
I just can't seem to find my place Everywhere I go seems one big mistake That follows others time and time again Where in this world does one find a friend Feels like I'm in a stranger's bed Can't seem to get these voices out of my head I woke to see the sun and moon Oh in the month of June Feels like I'm walking in my sleep Like I've got secrets I'd like to keep Skeletons that won't leave my side The darkest closest surely won't hide Feels like I'm in a stranger's bed Can't seem to get these voices outta my head I woke to see the sun and moon Oh in the month of June Feels like I've wasted all my time Trading quarters for nickels and dimes I woke to find my house in a mess Turns out that money just brings stress Just brings stress Just brings stress Feels like I'm in a stranger's bed Can't seem to get these voices out of my head I woke to see the sun and moon Oh in the month of June

Midnight Shower 03:53
lyrics

Midnight shower And I'm counting down the hours Till I gotta get up for work Cause I've got some big dreams And plans left ahead of me But first I gotta get off this dirt The world is sleeping and I'm right here keeping On doing the things that I should To make all those big dreams A part of my reality So I'll just keep pushing when it hurts Over and over, and over again We'll start it all over, with no means to an end And now this water's raining down, and I'm trying hard to drown Out this feeling, this feeling And I'm staring at the ground as these doubts start to mount But there's a feeling, and this feeling I can't wash it out, no I can't just wash out I should be sleeping Cause I sure am needing A nice night of seven or eight Hours of shut eye But my bed can't quite supply The answers my mind needs of late Over and over, and over again We'll start it all over, with no means to end And now this water's raining down, and I'm trying hard to drown Out this feeling, this feeling And I'm staring at the ground as these doubts start to mount but there's a feeling, and this feeling I can't wash it out, No I can't just wash it out And I can't shake this I was made for it To give it my everything And I can't break this Or escape it to be the better man The one I know I can Now this water's raining down, and I'm trying hard to drown Out this feeling, and this feeling And I'm staring at the ground as these doubts start to mount but there's a feeling, and this feeling I can't wash it out No I can't just wash it out No I can't just wash it out

Needles 04:01
lyrics

I Heard bad news today Seems I ain't invincible Now I'm trying not to fade away But I feel quite miserable They say it gets harder Before it ever gets easy But I need a new start And i'm really quite needy Oh I'm not well And I'm in quite the fight If you can't tell I just need to get right But I don't need no needles To make me well I just need some time And I've seen a lot of evil But the devil ain't no friend of mine I've seen some troubles But hard times rarely come round here So sorry if I'm stubborn I don't know the smell of fear It's hard to say if I'm lucky Cause I don't feel it right now But I got a lot of blessings I'll get thru somehow Oh I'm not well And I'm in quite the fight If you can't tell I just need to get right But I don't need no needles To make me well I just need some time And I've seen a lot of evil But the devil ain't no friend of mine The seasons may come and go And I'll give it my best And there will be highs and lows But I promise you I'll never rest Till I don't need no needles To make me well I just need some time And I've seen a lot of evil But the devil ain't no friend of mine

Store Your Treasure 02:29
lyrics
buy track
Oh what is your fancy Is it silver or gold Do you live in palace Of which stories are told Do you drive a fine car And puff down cigars Anything to your pleasure Oh, where do you store your treasure Are you one for travel Collecting all the sights Flying around the world Up to new heights But when winter comes early What will you bite Oh is it all hard to measure Oh, where do you store your treasure The sands are slipping Through the hourglass Each grain not knowing If it's the first or if it's last Do you have memories And people you love Do you have faith in someone above Is your whole life Indicative of Someone who made themselves lesser Where do you store your treasure Was it a worthwhile endeavor Collecting all of your treasure

Would You Say Yes 03:29
lyrics
buy track
If I asked you out to dinner Would you say yes I think I know the answer But it's anyone's guess And if I reached out my hand Would you take hold Is it the measure of a man To be so bold And if I try to kiss you Would you say it's too soon I'd take another chance In the month of June And if I say it's love Will you say it too I ain't afraid to wait Give it a week or two Cause it seems like love just takes some time And a little bravery of mine Everybody loves a sure fire thing So would you say yes if I give you this ring If I wrote you a song Would it help my cause I think I'll do it anyway just because And if sing it well Will your heart sing Is that a glimmer in your eye Or this diamond ring Cause It seems like love just takes some time And a little bravery of mine Everybody wants a sure fire thing So would you say yes if I give you this ring Cause It seems like love just takes some time And a whole lot of bravery of mine Everybody wants a sure fire thing So would you say yes if I give you this ring I know you'll say yes if I give you this ring

Married In The Mountains 03:25
lyrics

Let's get married in the mountains In the Carolina Spring I can't wait until tomorrow Don't know what it'll bring Let's get married in the mountains Just us two We don't need a fancy dinner Cause all I need is you And as we walk along This Rhododendron highway With you by my side It's the start of a new age And I don't wanna wait anymore time We've got a venue beneath these old pines Is this just lucky or is it divine But it's so clear now It's right on time Let's get married in the mountains In the Rocky Mountain heights With those glacier covered peaks All covered in ice Let's get married in the mountains It might steal our breath away Bring some wild flowers And a bottle of Cabernet And as we walk along This alpine highway With you by my side We can conquer any range And I don't wanna wait anymore time We've got a venue beneath an open sky Is this just lucky or is it divine But it's so clear now It's right on time And here in this moment That we've been dreaming of Why fight these feelings These feelings of love When and where and how They don't mean much to me You're here with me now And this is where I want to be Cause I don't wanna wait anymore time We've got a venue beneath an open sky Well call it just lucky or call it divine But it's so clear now Oh it's so clear now It's right on time

After All 02:40
lyrics
buy track
After all Are we not singing the same ole songs Telling the same stories as the past And after all Are we more than our parents Just trying hard to make Something that lasts We've got tales of heartache Heartbreak Volcanoes and earthquakes Stubbornness and brokenness Soft hearts and bitterness After All Are we wearing new holes Into our parents shoes Taking no chances or risks Cause we're too afraid to lose And after all Do we ever start anew Or are we simply trading places Just to change the morning view We're telling tales of heartache Heartbreaks Storm clouds and aeroplanes Wretchedness and brokenness A hope anew inside our veins The story was and is to be Not written in stone yet fully meant to be A thousand voices calling out Each one seems so soft yet loud And if we find ourselves alone We know that soon we're coming home Singing songs of heartache Heartbreaks Long goodbyes and mistakes Shattered dreams and flowing streams Another song with instrumental breaks We're singing songs of heartache Heartbreaks Copycats and remakes Shattered dreams and guitar strings Beating hearts and flapping wings In the courts of kings and queens On the edge of something great

Hey Hey 03:14
lyrics

Hey hey Woah woah How high How low Can this water rise In this coming tide The sun is setting But the moon is high If there's one thing I can't understand Why everybody talking about a promised land Hey hey Woah woah Can a man Lose his soul If he hates his brother And his sister too Will he wash his hands of this And tie his shoes Walks around carrying his heart in his hands But he's been dealing with the devil man And he's walking Down the road Carrying much more Than he can tow He keeps on walking Down the road And a walking and a walking and a Walking and a walking Hey hey Woah woah How much Can we grow By listening to each other When we got stuff to say Will we speak with meaning Or just get in the way Everybody's holding onto dessert sand What they gonna do with their hopeful plans

Rolling Stone 03:02
lyrics
buy track
I see people around Without roots in the ground Living most everywhere Without a thought or care Oh and they look at me And say how can he be Oh but what do they know I'm not a rolling stone I'm not a rolling stone I guess I'm not even close Oh when life gets hard I find my peace at home Don't need an open road Just wanna be fully known I'm not a rolling stone Has it been real hard To stay so on guard Always looking back To avoid the pack But listen to your heart Oh it could be a start Build yourself a home Quit being a rolling stone I'm not a rolling stone I guess I'm not even close Oh when life gets hard I find my peace at home Don't need an open road Just wanna be fully known I'm not a rolling stone And it may just be That's what you need But I know for me The cost of a good thing Is the sowing of seeds Only then will you reap Just what you need But you're a rolling stone You just keep on going Oh when life gets hard You find your peace on the road Still avoiding home But there's still people that know That you have a home

Good Conversation 05:19
lyrics
buy track
Open up a window Clean up your floor You've been working so hard Do you even know what for You say a friend Is all that you need Here's some advice That didn't come cheap So don't ask questions If you don't want answers Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve Like its a banner Don't wait for no heartbreak Or a revelation Just have some patience And good conversation You've walked that line For a few years now You'll walk it a few more If your feet will allow But do take count And measure the cost It might take awhile To work it back off So don't ask questions If you don't want answers Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve Like its a banner Don't wait for no heartbreak Or a revelation Just have some patience And good conversation You're doing alright Keep it up Don't worry if everything Doesn't quite fill the cup There will be pain And there will be doubts But you've got some friends To help figure it out So don't ask questions If you don't want answers Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve Like its a banner Don't wait for no heartbreak Or a revelation Just have some patience You got to have patience Just have some patience And good conversation
