Feelin' Fine

Lovin' with a broken heart
Thinkin' with an empty mind
That's the sort of thing that wont get me very far tonight
I've got a broken back and a pair of those empty eyes
Blinded by all the things in this world I despise
I take a walk outside my box and I'm feelin' fine
Whiskey burns my lips
Smoke stings my eyes
A pocket full of poison will erase my mind
I'm tryin' not to be a sinner and hate you
Even though you tell me that's what you deserve for me to do
I try to move on
Try to stay calm
Try to stay strong
But that's the sort of thing that's easier said than done
I take a walk outside my box and I'm feelin' fine
Whiskey burns my lips
Smoke stings my eyes
A pocket full of poison will erase my mind
I'm walkin' on these clouds and I'm feelin high
Lookin' down
On all the people down below me feelin' fine
Right now
We're feelin' fine
We're feelin' fine
A pocket full of poison will erase my mind
I take a walk outside my box and I'm feelin' fine
Whiskey burns my lips
Smoke stings my eyes
A pocket full of poison will erase my mind

I'd Come Down

The way she looked at me
I can't quite figure it out
She tells me "Just be myself"
I can't quite figure it out
You're back in my life
I'm scared you won't stick around
But when we kiss
It's like we're touching smiles
And your taste
Your touch
Your love
Could carry me for miles
You bring me up
Without you by my side I'd come down
We are living in the moment
Lean on me
I will be strong
You say everything is just fine
I know that means something's wrong
But your taste
Your touch
Your love
Could carry me for miles
You bring me up
Without you by my side I'd come down
We lay in bed
We put one in the air
And we just stare
With our heads together
And we look up
We both shed a tear
Wonder where to go from here
'Cause all I know
All I know
Is your taste
Your touch
Your love
Could carry me for miles
You bring me up
Without you by my side I'd come down

Friend Like You
03:01

Mothers sons fathers and daughters
All come from much farther
To see a son become a father
I'm not aloud to see you 'till you're standing at the altar
But I see through my tears
As you walk my way
Who would have thought
I would find
A friend like you
Mothers sons fathers and daughters
All come around just
To see you and me
I'm not allowed to see you 'till we're standing at the altar
But I see through my tears
As I walk your way
I walk your way
And I can hardly stand
I walk your way and I am so scared
But my feet are moving in the right dirrection
Now we're standing here
Looking at each other
Saying "I do"
We'll walk day by day
When I'm a grandmother and you're a grandfather
We'll look back on today
With a smile on our face
A smile on our face and we can hardly stand
A smile on our face
We look at this photograph
Of the first time we ever said "I love you"
Who would have thought
I would find
A friend like you
When I'm a grandmother and you're a grandfather
We will look back on today
With smiles on our face.

Strawberry Blonde

Strawberry blonde
You're covered in red
Magic hat and cigarettes
Seem to be your medicine
You're mad at the world
And fear follows after
I'm knocking at your door
But you wont let me in
Is it just that I'm different
Or not the same as anyone
You've ever met
Or would ever meet again
I take the words you said
And hold them to the bitter end
And I watch as you walk away
Crossroads and crooked signs
We're riding fast away
From bright city lights
We'll follow your heart to nowhere
To become victims of your despair
Is it just that I'm different
Or not the same as anyone
You've ever met
Or would ever meet again
I take the words you said
And hold them to the bitter end
And I watch as you walk away
Now that you're gone
It's back to where I started from
I'm stuck at the bottom of a bottle
Hoping maybe one day
I'll come around
I take the words you said
And hold them to the bitter end
And I watch as you walk away

Tired

Days like today I want to get away
From all the memories I have in this place
Keeping my chin up is easy to say
When You're the one with the smile on your face
I stand here
Shaking my fist at the sky
Please don't leave me so empty
Inside
This skin I'm wearing
I'm growing so tired
And I can feel the pressure
starting to rise.
Days like today I'm on my knees to pray
To the good Lord for guidance and grace
Tie me to your word and take me away
From all the memories I have in this place
I stand here
Shaking my fist at the sky
Please don't leave me so empty
Inside
This skin I'm wearing
I'm growing so tired
And I can feel the pressure
starting to rise.
Inside
The skin I'm wearing
I'm growing so tired
And I can see the
Circles around my eyes
Tie me to your word
Tie me to your word
Take me down a road
And if I find you there alone
We'll be alone together
Until that day comes
I stand here
Shaking my fist at the sky
Please don't leave me so empty
Inside
This skin I'm wearing
I'm growing so tired
And I can feel the pressure
starting to rise.
Inside
The skin I'm wearing
I'm growing so tired
And I can see the
Circles around my eyes

Times Like These

Feelings like these
Come from people like you
Who bring me down
All I did was prove
Love was there for you
You shot it down
It's times like these we are strugglin'
Times like these we all need a friend
You tell me you can find love anywhere you go
You tell me you can find love anywhere you go
Thats not true
The only thing I see
Is you run away
Every time love tries to find you
It's times like these we are strugglin'
Times like these we all need a friend
They tell me don't forget who you are
They tell me don;t wander to far
After all
We're gonna miss you
When You're gone
They tell me don't forget who you are
They tell me don;t wander to far
After all
We're gonna miss you
When You're gone
It's times like these we are strugglin'
Times like these we all need a friend
It's times like these we are strugglin'
Times like these we all need a friend

Who Am I?
02:33
|

Love is the reason I don't feel anymore
It's the reason I'm going away
Despite feeling so let down inside
I try to keep a smile on my face
Who am I?
Tell me
Who Am I?
A stranger lies in my bed tonight
She sees the shameless look in my eyes
The pain I feel
She can sympathize with
So I ask her to stay a while
Who am I?
Tell me
Who am I?
Soon i'm leaving town
To Old Carolina
I leave my troubles behind
Who am I?
Tell me
Who am I?
