Ah caught you smiling at me,
That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine
Ah all the good times we had,
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine
As we walk down the country lanes,
I'll be singing a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees,
Telling mother nature 'bout you and me
Well if the sunshine's so bright,
Or on our way it's darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine
Ah can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on?
As we walk down the country lanes,
I'll be singing a song, Hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees,
Telling mother nature 'bout you and me
My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,
Tell your friends all around the world,
Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle
Come on now well let me tell you,
What you're missing, messing, 'round them brick walls
So of one thing I'm sure,
It's a friendship so pure,
Angels singing all around My dog is so fine
Yeah, ain't but one thing to do
Spend my nat'ral life with you,
You're the finest dog I knew, so fine
When you're old and your eyes are dim,
There ain't no old shep gonna happen again,
We'll still go walking down country lanes,
I'll sing the same old songs, hear me call your name

Get on the Run
03:48

Well I got a heart that beats like a drum
And I got a feeling to get on the run
Come on baby slide a little closer
I got a world of colours to show ya
I know a place way down in Mexico
You and me baby we can just lay low
You go grab your bag I’ll get my guitar
And when no one’s lookin’ you can jump in my car
Get on the Run (we can leave tonight)
Get on the Run (drive until we see the light)
No regrets, don’t look back, come on don’t think about it
Hey let’s get on the run
I’ll hold the money and you roll the dice
If anyone suspects, I’ll knock twice
I’ll keep your secrets you’ll know mine well
As long we’re alive’, we never will tell
And I’ll do the talking if they ask us why
And you take the wheel hunny if I start to cry
Cause this ol’ life is short but the journey’s long
And all I wanna do is hit the road and get lost in a song
Get on the Run (we can leave tonight)
Get on the Run (drive until we see the light)
No regrets, don’t look back, come on don’t think about it
Hey let’s get on the run
Turn the radio up let it fill our ears
Let it rock our bones and wipe our tears
Roll the windows down, let the wind blow through
Till there’s nothing left but me and you
Turn the radio up let it fill our ears
Let it rock our bones and wipe our tears
Roll the windows down, let the wind blow througH
Till there’s nothing left but me and you
Just me and you
Get on the Run (we can leave tonight)
Get on the Run (drive until we see the light)
No regrets, don’t look back, come on don’t think about it
Hey Let’s get on the run

Dufferin
03:40
|

Why do the skies turn grey
Every damn time I come down this way?
If the rain clouds could talk, well I know what they'd say
They'd say stop. Driving down Dufferin
Why does it feel so cold
To be on that street with no hand to hold
I've been chilled to the bone since the moment you told
me to stop driving down Dufferin
Pass the park where I met you
The bar where we danced locking eyes
The cafe where we said our “I love you”s
The corner where we said our goodbyes
This was our neighbourhood
These are the doorways where we once stood
And I bet I'd forget them if only I could
Learn to stop. Driving down Dufferin
And I'll surely forget you, forever for good
If I Stop Driving down Dufferin

Lyin' In The Ground
03:32

When I'm lying in the ground
Won't matter what I done, won't matter what I seen
How I spent each wakin' day
And every ache and pain, will fade away
When I'm lying in the earth
My bridges burned will turn to dust
Every worry, every fear
that's weighed me down will disappear
I'll be gone,
I'll be gone,
Every care will cease to be, Halleluja when I'm free
From the pain and the strife, peaks and valleys of my life
Sweet Salvation
Freedom with my final breath
Oh divine elation
I will lay my burdens down to rest
When I'm lying in the ground
There'll be no shackles, no prison bars
I'll escape this ball and chain
Tame the fire inside my veins
I'll be gone,
I'll be gone,
I'll have settled every bet, and forgotten each regret
When the silence is restored, I'll be reaping my reward
Sweet Salvation
Freedom with my final breath
Oh divine elation
I will lay my burdens down to rest
Bury my troubles, bury my greig
Bury my struggles
Way down in the ground
grant me some heavenly silence, blissful relief
merciful darkness.
Way down in the ground
Grant me some
Sweet Salvation
Freedom with my final breath
Oh divine elation
Lay the burdens of my life to rest
I shall be rewarded in my death
I will lay these burdens down to rest

I Will Be Your Light

Where You Going I can’t see you anymore
You’ve Closed your windows and locked all your doors
Darling oh my darling hold on tight
I will your light
And If you get lost, I'll come and find you
And if you forget, I will remind you
Darling oh my darling hold on tight
I will your light
Call to me, fall on me,
all of me,
I 'll be there in the darkness if you can't see
Your tired eyes are giving you away
And you’re slipping through at a perilous pace
Darling, come on darling hold on tight
I will be your light

Raised on Robbery
03:12
|

|
He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's a shame (It's a shame it's a crying shame)
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey-you've got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we'll have some laughs
Gin's what I'm drinking
I was raised on robbery
I'm a pretty good cook
Sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I'll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight, cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery
We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
You should have seen it fly away
First he bought a '57 Biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a bitch
His blood's bad whiskey
I was raised on robbery
You know you ain't bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me, honey
I ain't asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going
Don't go yet
Your glass ain't empty and we just met
You're mean when your loaded
I was raised on robbery

Good As Gone

That lilly livered liar
That floozy-lovin’ flirt
He can’t control his eyeballs when he sees a mini skirt
There’s lipstick on his collar, he smells like cheap perfume
He stumbles in and reaks of gin and messes up my room
No more! No more! That two-timin, nailbitin’ double crossin good for nothin’
Sorry excuse of a man
That dirty rotten scoundrel
That neck-or nothin scum
He flashes hundred dollar bills but where’s he get em from?
From scammin and a swindlin
Pathetic petty crime
He won’t be doing nothing right until he’s doing time
No more! No more! That low life, pocket-pickin, black sheep crooked thievin’
Criminal Sheister of a Man
I’ve packed his bags, they’re on the lawn!
Mmmm good as gone
That worthless idle slacker
That shiftless sluggish dud
Sitting on the couch again, watching Elmer Fudd
He never does my dishes, or even mops the floor
He’s been “between professions” now since 1994
No more! No more! That dead beat lazy bones couch potato stay-at home no matter how you spin it dumb and dumber by the minute
Useless Excuse of a Man
I’ve packed his bags, they’re on the lawn!
I called the cops, they’ll come at Dawn
I laced his drink with something strong
Mmm Good as gone

If Wishes Were Horses
02:56
|
|||
|
Well I was born with a dark cloud above me
A longing deep in my soul
I was raised up right and I know my momma loved me
But I begged her to let me go
I said, "The grass is greener on the other side
Somewhere there's a bluer sky
I won't stop runnin' 'til I'm satisfied
And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride"
You know, I love you, my true companion
You've been my lifelong friend
But there's a hunger inside me
That I can't abandon 'til I see what's around the bend
You know, the grass is greener on the other side
Somewhere there's a bluer sky
I won't stop runnin' 'til I'm satisfied
And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride
Now I've been a rogue and I've been a rambler
I know too well my sins
I've got the faith of a saint but the soul of a gambler
And a heart like the restless wind
You know, the grass is greener on the other side
Somewhere there's a bluer sky
I won't stop runnin' 'til I'm satisfied
And if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride
Yeah, if wishes were horses, I would ride, ride, ride

Rough and Rocky
03:43
|

|
Darlin' I have come to tell you
Tho' it almost breaks my heart
But before the mornin', darlin'
We'll be many miles apart
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep
Can't you hear the nightbird's cryin'
Far across the deep blue sea
While others you are thinking
Won't you sometimes think of me
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep
One more kiss before I leave you
One more kiss before we part
You have caused me lots of trouble
Darlin', you have broke my heart
Don't this road look rough and rocky
Don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my baby look the sweetest
When he's in my arms asleep

Upside of Down
03:28
|
|||
|
Well I’ve never been a smoker but if I ever were to start it might be now.
And my bank account of attitude is broke. There’s not a penny in this beggar’s smile.
But there’s no room for excuses or regrets I saw this comin’ on for miles and miles.
So forgive me if my shit is not together, tryin to push it into piles.
I wake up late with imprints of late night debate’s pressed right into my chest.
And the guilt of sleepin’ in mixes with sunlight and I rise determined yes, yes, yes.
And somewhere in between all the caffeine and the distractions of my restless mind
My list grows ever longer and I slip into the deep behind.
But when I find third gear and a dry road
I can laugh at myself and this mess.
Though I’m trying hard to throw off my halo.
It looks kinda stupid hangin’ around my neck.
And the men who fill my bed will hear the words I should have told myself when young.
That the genius keeps it simple pick one thing, that’s right, just one.
And the old souls all around me say, “Slow down ya got this one moment here”.
And I, “Shit, you’re right, bartender, I’ll focus on another perfect beer”.
When you relate to every sad song on the radio.
It means that you’re not over him yet.
Em A/C And Though I’m trying hard to throw off my halo.
It looks kinda stupid hangin’ around my neck.
GC Well I’ve never was a smoker but if I ever were to start it might be now.
I could satisfy a craving slip anonymous into the cloud.
So if you could share a light find me a match open your pack to this poor clown.
And I will sit with you a while and we’ll tell stories bout the upside of down.
And I will sit with you a while and we’ll tell stories bout the upside of down.
And I will sit with you a while and we’ll tell stories bout the upside of down.
