- Again
She said, "California," as a tear fell down her cheek
"Small town Missouri just ain't the life for me."
Waved goodbye to mom and dad, and all her friends
In that '97 Mustang, that we both lost it in
I can't recall the day I'd finally had enough
Chasing my father's dream and never of growing up
I turned in that uniform before I ever played a game
- Babies
I was a hard-going push mowing hard-laying kid
Baseball and MTV
Turned into a blue jean midnight Chevrolet cigarette do about anything
Spend a decade chasing a dream
And a love and I cough me a couple I guess
But for ever thrill that I chased down
It's easy to confess
I found a better kind of crazy
- Broke My Heart
Just the way you float through a crowded room
With that long, tangled blonde hanging down
Just the way you move to the groove playing in my head
The soft of your lips, the touch of your hand
The being your man when it's time to go
Even if you'd never broke my heart
Even if you'd never broke my heart
- Catch You While I Can
When rooms are crowded, eyes will wander
Never knowing what they'll find
I came in waiting on another
Now you're all that's on my mind
Beneath a chorus of conversation
What no one else can see
Is a gamble between two strangers
- Catherine
The sun is shining but it's still cold
This January is bitter as I've ever known
You're always smiling, there's no reason to be
You're always chipper at least that's how it seems
Well, Catherine I can't give you anything
Much more than this couple hundred dollar ring
And promises ain't never been my strength
- Clouds
Well, the turn signal's clicking
And the seconds are slipping away
Just a little bit more of this turnpike
And so much to say
The airport traffic, it slows us to a still
I turn the radio down
And leave one hand on the wheel
- Countin' Cars
Almost midnight
Another one drives by
Sounds like a V8
Listen to it fade away
It ain't her, that's for sure
Just another night of
Watchin' headlights all night
- Desiree
It's killin' me to write the word "goodbye"
I've wadded it up and tossed it a thousand times
We both know the reason
There ain't nothin' to explain
But I know that my leavin'
Will spare us both the pain
(Desiree), I can't hold you any longer
- Ease Your Pain
I can be your midnight "are you up?" every time that he does, he does you like he does
I can let you dry your tears, tell you what you wanna hear,
But when you've had enough,
Baby I, I can be that shot of whiskey, your memory Novocaine
I can be the sunshine shining through the rain
Let me be the on addiction running in your veins,
You don't have to hurt no more
- Easy Love
Come on girl, don't it feel good to you
Like a watermelon ripe on your lips
Somethin' 'bout the way you look at me, made me lose my breath
Radio, window down, sing to me
Every word, every note, every touch
In a world gettin' harder baby, it's an easy love
- Fighter
Don't think that I don't see the way you struggle
Watching me struggle
Don't think that I don't feel you turn away
Every time I turn away
And please believe that I believe
When I'm praying
That you're right beside me praying
For the same thing
- Forgiveness
I can't lie
It's hard to hear
After all we've shared
After all these years
I don't know
What I'm supposed to say
What I'm supposed to feel
Seeing you this way
- Got Me Gone
I'm a train
Barreling down the track no looking back
No brakes
Girl I'm only picking up speed
I'm rain
Falling from a cloud on the edge of town
No trace
Of a storm I used to be
- I Thought You Knew
I'll follow you like a bridge to the end of the world
I take you with me everywhere I go girl
But you ran from love like a bullet from a gun
Lead powder burned my heart deep as this desert sun
You never told me it was over
You never told me anything at all
Now I'm out on the road and asking myself why
- I'm About To Come Alive
I can hear you downstairs crying on the phone
Telling someone that I'm here but you still feel all alone
Maybe we were too young
Goodbye, I've gotta go
I can hear the baby waking up
Got to get back to the life I know
I should have never believed him
- Kiss You Tonight
I catch myself wishing
Я ловлю себя на мечтах
You were whispering my name
О том, как ты шепчешь моё имя.
Every star, every scar
Все звёзды, все шрамы,
Every mark upon my heart
Каждый рубец на сердце
- Let It Rain
It's hard to find the perfect time to say something
You know is gonna change everything
Living with the shame,
It ain't nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
That she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good can't hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
- Lie with Me
I felt this coming for a month or two,
You don't look at me like you used to do
Still when you leave it's gonna be too soon,
Bid me a minute, while we're still in it
Lie with me,
Hold me like you mean it,
Kiss me like you're loving holding me tonight
- Looking For A Good Time
If heavens where your soul gets fed
The your hell is an empty bed
But it's never hard to keep it full
There ain't too many arms you have to pull
'Cause you think that you're getting love
But they know they're just getting some
And deep inside you know it's true
- Mississippi
I ain't never seen the snowfall on the Delta
Like the one that's gonna cover all of New York tonight
But it sure do remind me of those miles and miles of cotton
Long ago but not forgotten, yeah, that's a southern man's field of white
Yeah, I turned my back and walked away
But lately I ain't seen a sunny day
Been thinking ‘bout rolling on back home
- Missouri
(Verse 1)
November's almost over,
The gentle winter's on the way.
Still I sit here on this balcony,
And smoke my brain away,
Waiting on that phone to ring.
Wondering which day that it will be.
- Night's On Fire
Cue the music out the driveway
Slow summer on a Friday
Here we go again, wild in the wind
Mama knows she’s gonna be late
Hit the party just to watch her dance
Good to go when she grabs your hand
Like a shot from a gun, it’s a dead run
- Red Light
So this is how it ends
This is where it all goes down
This is what "I don't love you" feels like
It ain't the middle of the night
And it ain't even raining outside
It ain't exactly what I had in mind
For goodbye
- She Rides Away
Sunset on a chapel, when I close my eyes I see her and she's prayin'
Ripples in the holy water, kneelin' in the light that is fadin'
Askin' for forgiveness 'cause she knows that it is me that she is breakin'
She rides on the edge of no tomorrow in a rusty El Camino
She flies as wild as the wind on the border of Laredo
She rides away
Questions in the dark
- Songs For Sale
Boiled peanuts anytime, painted on a plywood sign
Pull to the shoulder and buy a sack
An old man with a dirty face swears they're the best you'll taste
Grows 'em fresh in that red dirt field out back, yeah, that's a fact
Grace is a mechanic's wife and their toe-head boys are her whole life
Sews patches on blue jeans night and day
Never does much for herself, doesn't dream of fame or wealth
- St. Louis
I CAN HEAR THE CROWD
THE SEA OF RED
MY FAVORITE SHIRT
WILLIE WAS MY FAVORITE
BOUGHT A SOUVENIR
A FEW TOO MANY BEERS
I WHISPERED I LOVE YOU
AS FIRE-WORKS FILLED THE SKY
- Strangers On A Train
Sometimes you see someone
When you've already got someone
Still you wonder what if they had come
Along, a long time ago
You know that they're feeling it too
But there ain't nothin' you gonna do
Except for imagine who you might have been with them
They're not tryin' to make it last
- That's How I'll Remember You
Wakin' up in the sand, sunburn on your nose
You scream and squeezed my had
When your east Kentucky toes hit the Atlantic
Summertime in Brooklyn, Mustard on your lip
I knew I loved you by the bottom of the fifth
I never planned it
A million perfect moments go rushin' through my brain
- The Sound Of A Million Dreams
Seger was singin' words I could believe in
And Mainstreet was my street that night
So I called up Samantha
And asked her the chance of us runnin' out neath the moon light
Well shes not with me now, she can always be found
When I rewind the radio dial
And like it was then I feel her on my skin
And I'm back there for a while
- This Time Around
I know what you think, here we go again
The same waste of potential that I’ve always been
I’ve been given chances and I’ve burned some bridges up
Had a million excuses why I’d self-destruct
But this time around
I’m a little more ready now
I’m a little bit older, a little more figured out
