Box of Love Letters
05:43

|
The colors on the walls in the house where my love lives
Can only be seen when she lets the sun shine in
And all those around her think she's a bright diamond
But I know her better than that
Yea I know her better than that
Cause ain't too many folks seen her shuttin the curtains
Or heard all the sounds that she makes when she's hurtin
but I've been inside of that house when it's burnin
And all of the colors fade to black
Yea all of the colors fade to black
Yea the memories of days from way back when
I've locked in a box labeled never again
And it's buried for sake of my pride and my sanity
But the scarlet letter on my broken heart
Just as bright at the end as it was from the start
But can't nobody judge me for that
Only she knows me better than that
When she told me she'd jump off that bridge I just let her
She took a chance on me and should have known better
And all I have left is a box of love letters
And a best friend I ain't gettin back
Yea a best friend I ain't gettin back
Chorus
I like to pretend I know just where I'm at
Like I ain't a lost girl in never never land
But she's seen me try to hang up this ol hat
but she knows me better Than that
I may sing all these songs about guitars and cadillacs
Run round this town drinking bottles of jack
Hold my head high like I don't need her back
Oh but she knows me better than that
Yea she knows me better than that
Yea she knows me better

Well I'm a tipsy renegade inner city lower class vagabond trailer park hippie with a sweet...sass
This ain't my husband, this ain't my house
This ain't my cat no, this ain't my mouse
These ain't my children, this ain't no fun
This ain't my bed lord, oh no what have I done
This ain't my hometown this ain't how I look
This ain't my face in this picture book
This ain't myself you're lyin to
It's just another know nothin town I'm passing through
Chorus:
I don't belong here, as if I could
I don't belong here, don't think I should
I don't belong here, I'm sorry I asked
Cause I'm a tipsy renegade inner city lower class vagabond trailer park hippie with a sweet...sass
This ain't my brother, this ain't my church
You ain't my sister, no this ain't my search
I ain't your mama, can't make this right
This ain't my problem and that ain't your ex wife
Chorus
This ain't no mistake I'm making again
This ain't a heartbreak, just a bottle of gin
I'm just Bonnie, don't need no Clyde
Don't need no ring, sure as hell ain't no one's bride
Chorus
This ain't my husband, this ain't my house
This ain't my cat no, this ain't my mouse

This here's the guitar that Jessica gave me
Before she run off to Austin and left me
And if I ever make some money on these here songs I write
I'm gonna buy me a ticket to Texas
Turn it up so she'll get the message
I traded my heart for this guitar and that's just fine
And if I finally make it down to that lonestar state
I'm gonna take this 6 string dreadnaught outta its crate
Cause when she left me here all along
I thought a love song would bring her home
I'm gonna play it up and down highway 40 interstate
This here's the song that I wrote
Been tryin to get it on the radio
Lord knows I wasn't ever lookin for no fame
But since she left me this here guitar
Been playin it out at all the honky tonk bars
And I still ain't got dime to my name
And when I finally make it down to that lonestar state
I'm gonna take this 6 string hollow-bodied dreadnaught made in Mexico spruce top outta it's crate
Cause when she left me here all along
I thought a love song would bring her home
I'm gonna play it up and down highway 40 interstate
This here's the guitar that Jessica gave me
Before she run off to Austin and left me
And if I ever make some money on these here songs I write
I'm gonna buy me a ticket to Texas
Turn it up so she'll get the message
I traded my heart for this guitar and that's just fine
I traded my heart so I could play this thing real loud
And now the love I know is a country music crowd

Double Crown Waltz
04:54
|
|||
|
When you went back to Nashville I was happy for sure
Cause I knew that the tears I'd be crying wouldn't fall anymore
No I haven't missed you one bit since you went away
'Cept for when I'm in honky tonk bars where we used to play
Chorus
No I don't miss your temper that made me feel small
I don't miss when you'd hold me and then ignore my call
I don't miss when you'd tell me you love me then treat me real mean
But I miss when you'd walk into Double Crown wearin tight jeans
I don't miss when you'd swear to stop drinking and the next thing I knew
I'd see you out dancing with more than a whiskey or two
But I'd go on with you anyway for 3 or 4 more
And we'd stay up singing till dawn like Tammy and George
Chorus x2
Well I miss when you'd walk into Double Crown wearing tight jeans

Rambler
05:11
|
|||
|
I was born a rambler, I think I'll always be
I dream about flying but I'm too scared to climb the trees
I once had the bread to fill me but all I wanted was wine
Now I'm sit-in here drunk and alone and the bread would probably suit me fine
Cause I don't know if I'll ever be satisfied
I don't know if I'll ever be a wife
I don't know and that's okay
I probably won't be believe you anyway
Cause it's a stay or leave kind of day
I once cut off all my hair just to watch it all grow back
Had a lover pure as milk and the other man in black
Had a room full of rubies and gold yes enough to make a king go blind
Everything I said I'd always wanted now I'm about to change my mind
Chorus
One day I'll follow through with something I set out to do
And all those dreams I promised you they still might turn out to come true
Still I am searching for that thing that won't leave me wanting more
Whether I'm rich or whether I'm poor
I still wonder what's behind the other door
I came in like a hurricane and I'll leave here just as fast
Should have known this little ol' town would never let me last
But I've made some memories here I'll keep for the rest of my life
And I don't know if I'll see you again but we've still got tonight
Chorus
I was born a rambler, I think I'll always be

How Long
05:03
|
|||
|
Way up north where it's icy cold
There's a fire that warms my soul
And I'll be dreaming of my flame tonight
to warm me till the early morning light
August went by way too damn fast
The New England winter blew in
So I packed all my secrets and pictures away
Never to be seen again
So tell me how long must I be long gone
They tell me I'm a songbird just takin my wild turn
Still I wonder how long
So I flew on down south few days ago
to warm me from the snow
But there's only one thing better than Carolina air
A pair of blue eyes and wild golden hair
Chorus

Yoga in Your Living Room

V1: (If after our) working day is through
(*)When we find our love has moved on from the new
(*)Will you still read to me when I have trouble sleeping
(*)Will we work out the plans that we have been here dreamin
V2: (But for) now you’ve got to go
(*)They’re waiting for you down on music row
(*)I’ll build the garden while you go make all that dough
How do you seem so sure when I need to go slow
B: (You ask me) darling why do you doubt me
When you know my love is true (ooooooooh)
(and 1) Whenever I leave I just can’t wait to get back to you
But it’s so easy to say it’s so
.When everything is right (aaaaaahh)
When we’ve got all the time to hold each other every night
V3: (When you come) back to me once more
(*)We’ll do some yoga on your living room floor
(*)We’ll talk and laugh about the way we spent our day
(*)You’ll teach me all about the games you like to play
V4: (Maybe I’ll) learn to be on time (probably not cause you’re )
We’ll let all the social apps all know that you are mine (mine mine)
You won’t get anxious and I won’t push you away
We’ll make a long time out of the love we made today

Garden Song
04:30
|

|
Divine rain in a little old town
can't be tamed when it's coming down
to this secret garden on holy ground
Free to grow here safe and sound
Carolina mountain bound
Met a songbird while driving round
Once was lost but now homeward bound
He's been all over and he knows the sound
of divine rain coming down
He knows my name and he knows this town
Can't be tamed and he sings so loud
I am this garden and I am this town
I am here now
Can't get dry standing out in the rain
Caught in the eye of a hurricane
So you fly real high but keep your feet on the ground
Go find you a stage and make a Carolina mountain sound
And if you miss me I'll be around
Come sing with me the sweetest sound
I'll be in the garden and I'll be around
Growing free in a Carolina mountain town

I Love You Cause I Do
07:36
|
|||
|
You don't look like me
You don't have my bony feet
Your last name don't sound like mine
We don't have those ties that bind
You're not a repeat of the dreams
That in my life I did not see
And I don't love you cause I have to
It don't make sense what the old folks do
why some things end and some things are new
The things we do we said we'd never
The ones we hold can't last forever
But I did my best to follow through
Cause I know what it means to you/what it's like to lose
And I don't love you cause I have to
I love you cause I do
I don't know if you're angry with me
Or even if you know the truth
But I ain't stand-in here asking for forgiveness
I could not take what I'm not due
Maybe one day you will find me
And ask all the things that you need to
And though our best intentions fail us sometimes
I loved you so and I hope you knew

Separate as we Seem
05:21
|

|
V1:
When I die just send me on my way
Lift me up upon your wings and let me fly
Gather round my grave and cry
But do not dare tell me goodbye
Cause I'll still be here when you feel a warm embrace
V2:
Late at night when you're still trying to rope the moon
While you pick that old guitar and sing the blues
Let your voice ring to the sky
It's only a matter of time
Till you rise and feel the sun shine on your face
C:
This body we think of as me contains it temporarily
Forever was not meant to be
There's more to this than what we see
This lie we think of as the truth has turned us into me and you
And we are not separate as we seem
If only in our dreams
V3:
Cause I don't need to carry round these weary bones
Leave em on the earth and let me go back home
For all the things we think we know
We're still living here alone
So leave my things here I don't need em where I'm goin
Chorus
V4:
While you're here what kind of change do you wanna make
Will you leave it with more love than when you came
As your footprints in the sand
Walk beside your fellow man
Please remember God is love and love is grace
