Tucson
With shaking hands I hailed myself a cab
Six long years of nothin' but the bottle
Losin' every bit of soul I had
That highway desert ride went on forever
Whiskey colored sunset filled the sky
The driver asked me what brought me to Tucson
I said sir I got a pain I just can't hide
And the double doors swung open
And I said here's to hopin'
There's somethin' better on the other side
Cuz the lines all blurred
My words all slurred, can't tell day or night
And I'm on the edge of alive or dead, but nothin feels quite right
But there's a new wind blowin', through Sierra tonight.
Met a man the wind would blow him over
My new friend said I'm just tryin to escape the pain
Cuz one too many drinks has got me desperate
But clarity's the new goal of the game.
And the double doors swung open
And I said here's to hopin'
There's somethin' better on the other side
Cuz the lines all blurred
My words all slurred, can't tell day or night
And I'm on the edge of alive or dead, but nothin feels quite right
But there's a new wind blowin', through Sierra tonight.
But there's a new wind blowin', through Sierra tonight.
Back There Again
Hurts like hell when you leave.
Might feel good for you
But baby what about me?
If I could have it my way
I'd never let you go
Keep running in circles
Just to hold you close
Cuz my heart goes to that familiar place
And my soul's on fire, when I see that face
Don't let me go back there again
I wanna go back there again
Then we go there
When I fell into you
Back to a place where
We do what lovers do.
If I could have it my way
I'd never let you go
Keep running in circles
Just to hold you close
Cuz my heart goes to that familiar place
And my soul's on fire, when I see that face
Don't let me go back there again
I wanna go back there again
If I could have it my way
I'd never let you go
Keep running in circles
Just to hold you close
Cuz my heart goes to that familiar place
And my soul's on fire, when I see that face
Don't let me go back there again
I wanna go back there again
Can't Get Close to You
Im half way through a love song
it's 2 o'clock am
you're like cigarettes and coffee
keeping me up again
I've been so patient
you've been so blind
but lovers come and lovers go
I guess it's not our time
If I could climb these walls around you
I'd be your closest friend
your lover and your laughter
but you won't let me in
every rule of mine I've broken
my defense in pieces too
no matter what I try to do
I can't get close to you
I'm your first call in the morning
Last call before bed
Your ride when you've been drinking
Was it something that I said?
I have been so patient
you have been so blind
but lovers come lovers go
I guess it's not our time
If I could climb these walls around you
I'd be your closest friend
your lover and your laughter
but you won't let me in
every rule of mine I've broken
my defense in pieces too
no matter what I try to do
I can't get close to you
Dallas
You told me last night you were leaving
Underneath the Carolina moon
You and me are overlying seasons
Sharing rain but not enough to bloom
Different times different places
Now that you're gone
I'll try to move on
Hold my breath
But not too long
I knew all along
Our timing was wrong
No regrets
I have to let you go
Off to Dallas all alone
Driving thru Jackson, Mississippi
Wondering if you're thinking about me
As you pass thru Shreveport, Louisiana
Are there tears, is it hard for you to see
Different times different places
Did you settle down
Did you find a place
Now I'm not around
is there a smile on your face
Cuz baby If you're happy, then I'm okay
I'll find a way to make it through today
Now that you're gone
I'll try to move on
Hold my breath
But not too long
I knew all along
Our timing was wrong
No regrets
I have to let you go
Off to Dallas all alone
Dan's Song
Maybe you've got a balcony looking out over the angels
Maybe you can see them, singing right there through the clouds.
Bet you're lookin' down on your babies, your momma and daddy too
Knowing one of these days I'm gonna walk on down that street of gold with you.
Singin walk on down, where the sunlight never fades
Walk on down, where the pain just sails away
Up to the gates, and when I come walking through.
One of these days I'm gonna walk on down that street of gold with you.
There's a lot of things in life, that I don't understand
Everybody follows this winding road, but no one knows the plan
But there's one thing I know for sure, that when I meet my end.
It's good to know when I get to heaven that I'm gonna find a friend.
Singin walk on down, where the sunlight never fades
Walk on down, where the pain just sails away
Up to the gates, and when I come walking through.
One of these days I'm gonna walk on down that street of gold with you.
Singin walk on down, where the sunlight never fades
Walk on down, where the pain just sails away
Up to the gates, and when I come walking through.
One of these days I'm gonna walk on down that street of gold with you.
One of these days I'm gonna walk on down that street of gold with you.
Into the Night
You hung the moon with those eyes
Leavin the boys high and dry
You loved a man escaping pain for awhile
It's time we give this a try
While we're young, and feel so alive
Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow
She got legs for days, makes me crazy
But can't tell wrong from right
Drivin blazed cuz Jesus saves
Off into the night
Into the night
You said it's love at first sight
I'm thinking now is the tim the time
Come on in I'll be staying here for awhile.
She got legs for days, makes me crazy
But can't tell wrong from right
Drivin blazed cuz Jesus saves
Off into the night
Into the night
She got legs for days, makes me crazy
But can't tell wrong from right
Drivin blazed cuz Jesus saves
Off into the night
Into the night
So Soft, So Sweet
Making my heart, skip a beat.
Your laugh, your smile already used to
To make you laugh that's my job to do.
Into you, I fall right through
All of me means all of you
make me a better man
trust me now I know you can
I see it clearly now
I don't know why or how
I thank God you're here with me
Your love for me so soft so sweet
Those eyes gonna be the start of me
In my mind I know we'll be
Write it down in this tune
Already feel so damn close to you.
Into you, I fall right through
All of me means all of you
make me a better man
trust me now I know you can
I see it clearly now
I don't know why or how
I thank God you're here with me
Your love for me so soft so sweet
Into you, I fall right through
All of me means all of you
make me a better man
trust me now I know you can
I see it clearly now
I don't know why or how
I thank God you're here with me
Your love for me so soft so sweet
Where One Life Ends
I remember the day
when my life seemed to change
they were fading away
at a secret, I couldn't shake
I wish who I am now
Could have been there to tell me...
Dont you give up don't you give in
dont you dare let them win
you just got to trust, what's been has been
where one life ends, another begins
What'd I do to deserve
ridicule stones made of words
they were breaking my nerves
sanity on the verge
I wish who I am now
Could have been there to tell me...
Dont you give up don't you give in
dont you dare let them win
you just got to trust, what's been has been
where one life ends, another begins
thought you'd lost it all,
for ten long years
fighting demons inside
been through it all, it didn't kill me
so I'm pleading one last time
Dont you give up don't you give in
dont you dare let them win
you just got to trust, what's been has been
where one life ends, another begins
"Too Old for this Town"
Got broad st. in the rearview
I think it's time for something new
Got headlights on the highway
tailights starting to fade
Driving down 316
Got Petty on the radio
Running down a dream
This town is slowing down
Fours years, drinking all night
Skipping classes, just getting by
I'm too old for this town
But too young to slow down
Got six strings riding shotgun
Singing to myself, born to run
They say fame won't come easy
That's alright, I've got all I need
Right here.....
Driving Down 316
Got petty on the radio
Running down a dream
That town was slowing me down
Fours years, drinking all night
Skipping classes, just getting by
I'm too old for that town.......
So I'm heading down 316
Petty on the radio chasing my dream
That town was slowing me down
Four years, drinking all night
Skipping classes, just getting by
I'm too old for that town
But to young to slow down
