Get On Board
03:37

I find myself, with some free time
So I sit on down in my favorite rocking chair
Grab my device, as I recline
I turn on and see what the world has come to bear
So I check my mail, find I've got an empty inbox
My schedule makes friends hard to keep
One of these days I'm gonna hit the road
and figure out what I was always meant to be
(chorus)
So get on board, hitch on up
If you're feeling like life is a hectic rush
get on track, don't ever look back
there's a whole lotta world to see
Get on down, fly to a new town
seek out a good time that's there to be found
Get on your feet honey, common and dance with me
As I drink from the well, of my existence
My reflection bounces back, from my hands.
We are big yet we are small
We share the same connections
Our atoms made from stars, that have drowned.
If you have a child, please show your sons and daughters.
At night that's where the universe can be found.
(chorus)
(chorus)

Full Moon Light
02:52
|
|||
|
I was in the cornfields searching for gold
Trying to get by on what I've been told
Grew up young and strong on a country farm
Life was a struggle but I seemed to get by
One more sunrise, one more try
And always thankful for the good Lord provides
I've seen the sun set and I've seen it rise
And once again it opens my eyes
Reminds me of picking peaches on a clear blue sky
Well life's so easy when you don't have a care
and all you have is all you share
I'm heading to the hills and having us a real good time
(chorus)
So hey babe, would you spend some time
Down by the river tonight in a full moon light
Hey babe, could I make you mine
Down by the river tonight in a full moon light
I was in the cornfields searching for gold
Trying to get by on what I've been told
Grew up young and strong on a country farm
Life was a struggle but I seemed to get by
One more sunrise, one more try
And always thankful for the good Lord provides
(chorus)
(chorus)

94 Reasons
04:10
|
|||
|
Never really cared about what you think
Never did mind having one more drink
One might lead to more, I'll race you to the store
Might lose a wheel jumping that railroad track
Never much luck with the local law
They seem to smile when I get caught
BP looking at me, I'm American can't you see
Family tradition is how I've always lived
Another lesson learned, one more crash and burn
Red lights flashing always seem to make me run
I guess I should have stayed, I hate getting pepper sprayed
Red lights flashing always seem to make me run
Dirt road 94, chicken ranch
Top of the mountain valley oak tree branch
Where I stand free, I'm American can't you see
Living this life I've always loved to live
94 reasons why, I can't stay
94 reasons why, it's a damn good day
I'm happy to be alive, sometimes I take a wild ride
Family tradition is how I've always lived
Another lesson learned, one more crash and burn
Red lights flashing always seem to make me run
I guess I should have stayed, I hate getting pepper sprayed
Red lights flashing always seem to make me run
94 reasons why, I can't stay
94 reasons why, it's a damn good day
94 reasons why, I can't stay
94 reasons why, it's a damn good day
94 reasons why

If I Sound
04:13
|
|||
|
I've been chilling on a Sunday
Living life as it seems to just pass me by
Thoughts of wonder and regret, invade, and bless, and curse my mind
A good friend of mine asked me, from where are our thoughts derived
I thought long and hard about the answer but the only thing I found was external stimuli
(chorus)
Even though the sun is shining, we could use the rain
To fill emotional reservoirs and remind us of our strength
Even though the sun is shining, we could use the rain
To fill emotional reservoirs and remind us of our strength
If what you do believe, does not line up with what I've seen,
I'll assume we have similar intentions, as we're making different sounds
West coast sunshine, I'm just living my days
Look to the sky give God all His glorious praise
May not be easy, feel the same as me
I cast my crown unto the Lord throughout eternity
(chorus)
Please don't fault me for the questions that I have
In regards to the mystery that is the origin of man
It isn't my intention for my queries to cause you pain
I'm jealous of your answers, And at times I envy your faith
(chorus)
If what you do believe, does not line up with what I've seen,
I'll assume we have similar intentions, though we're making different sounds

Dr Daniels

Early in the morning my head starts to ache
Roll up my bag and I walk to the lake
Check my line to see what I got
And it seems once again a buzz is all I caught
Maybe dollar short, maybe day late
I know one thing, I can't wait
Things are gonna change one of these days
But before I move to fast I just got to say
(chorus)
Dr Daniels, can you help me please
Sweet Miss Jane, just a little release
Senior Cuervo, could I get some gold
Mr Potter, help me from going broke
Early in the morning my head starts to ache
Roll up my bag and I walk to the lake
Check my line to see what I got
And it seems once again a buzz is all I caught
Maybe dollar short, maybe day late
I know one thing, I can't wait
Things are gonna change one of these days
But before I move to fast I just got to say
(chorus)

Man on the Run
04:10
|
|||
|
I have a devil, he sits right on my left shoulder
he tells me to do the things I know I ain't oughta
I had an angel, I think I drowned her in a drink
she used to say so many sweet things I can't believe
Oh… I’m a man on the run
From the conscious that the Lord gave me from above
I met a man, he said I could make a quick dollar
all you got to do is point this steel pull the trigger son it's yours
I shot a man, and it made me smile to watch him bleed
cause I had sold my soul down and Georgia and drowned my angel in Tennessee
Oh… I'm a man on the run
From the conscious that the Lord gave me from above
Well I made my momma cry and I made my daddy groan
I made my sister run away and a sinner of a girl
I told I loved her even though it wasn't really true
I made my life a living hell and my son a bastard too
Oh… I'm a man on the run
From the conscious that the Lord gave me from above

Mexican Peacock
03:10

I never thought, not in a million years
that I'd be using a computer to vape
The times that I recall, when I walked down to the bank
Though I felt so small, the shores they whispered to me
Don't fear the pressure of the falling sand
Don't you waste those precious years, working your life away
All you'll end up with is tears, and I said what the hell can I do
With these, wise old words
I constantly try to make the outcomes more than what they're worth
Each day passes, they all seem the same
and I still don't go to church
How can you make everyone happy?
Well you don't....
It's far from impossible.

Angel From Montgomery
03:44
|
|||
|
I am an old woman named after my mother
My father is another child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder, lightning was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
(chorus)
Make me an angel that flies from Montgom'ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down van.
(chorus)
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.
(chorus)

Log on the Fire
03:00
|
|||
|
Throw another log on the fire
Reach into the cooler, grab me another beer
Play another song to your desire
Let's go see dirt road takes us tonight
Raise that flag early in the morning
Fire up, pick up truck, lock her down in four-wheel drive
I head out on the road and I keep on rollin
Let's go see dirt road takes us tonight
There's so many things, love and diamond rings
I wake up in the morning as the bluebird sings
There's so many things, guitars and fire rings
Friends and family by your side
There's so many things, love and diamond rings
I wake up in the morning as the bluebird sings
There's so many things, living good memories
Friends and family by your side
Friends and family by your side

The Price
04:12
|
|||
|
Cold dark lonesome, dead of night
Things gone so wrong, can't get right
In the darkness, hear the sound
Of a world that's upside down
(chorus)
Mercy ain't got no judgment
Justice got a rag tied around her eyes
oughta be tears rollin down her face
At the blind tryin to lead the blind
Rich man rolls the dice
Poor man pays the price
Only hurts to think of home
Makes it hard to be alone
Every moment of a day
Trouble standing in my way
(chorus)

One Fine Day
06:08
|
|||
|
One fine day, I'm on my way
Top of the mountain end of the road
It's hard to walk a straight line, it's hard to walk it very narrow
Can't stop full throttle wide open again
I'm tilting that bottle rolling unstoppable
Ain't gonna be worrying about tomorrow
I'm living that dream weighing life on a triple beam
Ain't nothing gonna slow me down again
It's hard to walk a straight line, it's hard to walk it very narrow
Can't stop full throttle wide open again
Eyes wide open, looking further behind
The past is the present state of mind
If you didn't know, all I've got to show
Six feet deep in the middle of the garden
One fine day, I'm on my way
Top of the mountain end of the road
Hey have a good trip man, good seeing you
You know I'll be gone one day but I'll always be around, yeah
One fine day, I'm on my way
Top of the mountain end of the road
It's hard to walk a straight line, it's hard to walk it very narrow
Can't stop full throttle wide open again
One fine day, I'm on my way
Top of the mountain end of the road
One fine day, I'm on my way
Top of the mountain end of the road
