YOU & ME

Oh, it’s such a beautiful day

Watch the birds fly away

But when they take what we own

We lose our quiet home

It’s so hard to find

A place like this to stay

Don’t let them take it away

All it takes is you and, you and, you and, you and me.

Oh, the sky’s so blue

A painted picture so perfect

But when they burn all that’s true

We lose what we knew

It’s so hard to find

A peaceful place to stay

Don’t let them take it away

All it takes is you and, you and, you and, you and me.

GLAD TO BE

For all the times that I’ve made mistakes,

And all the times that I chose to hate,

I could blame it on the things that I’ve been through

Or blame it on the ways on how I grew

But I know it’s me, it’s how I chose to be

For every little piece of gold that I stole,

And all the pretty women that I didn’t hold,

I would blame I on the change that I’d go through,

Not thinking about the pain, I caused you

But I know it’s me, it’s how I chose to be

I know, I know, I know, that I could hide

I’ve shown, I’ve shown, I’ve shown my good side

I know, I know, I know, that I could hide

For all the times that I would lie,

And all the times that I didn’t try,

For all the times that I ran away,

And all the things that I didn’t face,

I could blame it on the way my father died,

Or blame it on the tears from my eyes

I could blame it on the need for control,

Or blame it on the way life unfolds,

But I know it’s me, it’s how I chose to be

But I know it’s me, it’s how I chose to be

But I know it’s me, it’s how I chose to be

I know it’s me, I’m glad to be

ON THE LINE

Where am I headed, this trail ain’t movin

I’m about to lose my journied mind

I’m not chasin, dreams for no reason,

It’s a path I know I got to find

Working overtime, heart right on the line

All my life, All my life

You that I might find, taking back what’s mine

All my life, All my life

And all you get is a piece of my little heart

This world is deceiving, trying to get even

Strippin’ me of all my human pride

I’m only human, facing my demons

I gotta find the strength to stay and fight

You’re not ready for love

Be your steady beating heart

BARRY'S BAY

Tell me tales about the summer

While Chasing wilco by the river down the bend

Tryin’ hard to leave the city

The open road goes miles and miles and miles on end

Wind give us a whisper, tell us we’re closer

To those warm summer nights, up north in Barry’s Bay

Those clear stary nights, up north in Barry’s Bay

The colder nights are warm by the fire

When your arm and arm sitting with some friends

Catch a smile from your one and only

Under shining stars you’ll find romance

Sunday morn is coming and I sure as hell ain’t goin

Every second is spent on this lake

Freedom comes when we’re together

Just the girl, the water and a little earth

The sun is shining bright in the summer

Let it melt away the troubles and the hurt

SOMEWHERE

Somewhere, into the madness

There’s a sense of sadness

I’m being honest

Somewhere, into the vastness

Life is timeless,

and I’ll be all alone and maybe

I’ll be happy

So long, I’m leaving this city

She kisses me windy

So I can be free

So long, to another story

My pages are empty

Let’s leave, what I call home and maybe

Find another one

Somewhere, up in your heaven

I know your watching

I’ll be missing

Somewhere, in another dimension

Your soul is searchin,

Every dream, is of you and maybe

You’ll come back to me

Someday, my body will lay rest

I won’t contest

Just being a realist

Someday, life will be hopeless

I will be strengthless

And I’ll die, all alone

And the land is where I rest my bones

The sun will make my road

The sun will make my road

Shining in my soul

Shining in my soul
