Edge of the Earth

Walkin on the edge of the earth
Prime time for a moon tan
That cloud looks like a fish
Wishful thinkin, eager fisherman
Dragon clouds surround the stage
From pier to pier sea creatures near
The fullest moon I've ever seen
Whirring winds wash my spirit clear
All alone but feeling warm
The light draws closer again
My fisherman comes back to me
And we do it all over again...
Soakin up the warm tide
Sipping fireball and ginger
Watchin as the edge of the earth
Drifts further away
Fluorescent clouds lace the sky
Wishing I could capture it all
Reelin in the blue one
Waitin for a big one...
Walkin on the edge of the earth
Prime time for a moon tan
That cloud looks like a shark
Hold on tight, he just might reel you in
All alone but feeling warm
The light draws closer again
My fisherman comes back to me
And we do it all over again

Park Bench

He was taking a stroll along Lake View Drive
And sat down on a park bench
Looked at the watch that his grandfather gave him
And reminisced on the good ole times
He never got that second to say goodbye
Or had a chance to apologize
But time ticked on and on and on
And memories were all he could save
She was walking along with little John
They sat down on a park bench
He asked again where daddy was
And if he'll ever come back home
She told her son with tears in her eyes
Don't you worry it'll be all right
But memories cut her like a knife inside
As the day slowly turned to night
Well a lot things happen on a park bench
Just stop and take a look
A foundation where love songs begin
An escape to read a good book
A cozy corner for that very first kiss
A spot to think about a bucket list
A place to ponder the journey ahead
Or a bed for a wanderer to rest his head
Well a lot of things happen on a park bench
You'll come to realize
It's a station for emotion, heartbreak and devotion
The story of our lives
They were walking down the pier and came back to the shore
And sat down on a park bench
He took a knee to the ground and looked her in the eye
And said I'd be a fool if I didn't try
She said we'll always know this moment till the day we die
Then they held each other closely and whispered something softly
As the waves kept rolling by
Well a lot things happen on a park bench
Just stop and take a look
A foundation where love songs begin
Or an escape to read a good book
A cozy corner for that very first kiss
A spot to think about a bucket list
A place to ponder the journey ahead
Or a bed for a wanderer to rest his head
Well a lot of things happen on a park bench
You'll come to realize
It's a station for emotion, heartbreak and devotion
The story of our lives

Tell Me You Love Me
03:59
|

|
I won't wait till the sun comes up
I need to feel you right now
I'm feeling twisted and tongue-tied
And every morning I don't know how
I find an opening when I come to
To tell you what I need to say
But what comes out doesn't quite cut it
And again I drift away
You're the harmony in my head
You're the sweet dream at my bed
A broken record's what I seem to be
But no matter how hard I try
I just can't shake what's inside of me
So just once whisper in my ear
Give me the medicine I need to hear
Tell me you love me, it's not a crime
Show me you love me just this one time
When you left me I was stirred not shaken
But now I'm paralyzed as I awaken
I can't believe I ever let you go
I brought it on myself you gotta know
You're the harmony in my head
You're the sweet dream at my bed
A broken record's what I seem to be
But babe no matter how hard I try
I just can't shake what's inside of me
No one else will ever fill this emptiness
What I would give for that healing kiss
So just once whisper in my ear
Give me the medicine I need to hear
Tell me you love me, it's not a crime
Show me you love me just this one time

Peculiar Day
04:13
|
|||
|
I came upon a hilly holler
And spotted a skinny cow
Grazing on frozen sun berries
In the blustery summer hour
When steadily all of a sudden
In blew a tame tornado
I felt a clash of harmony
Resonate a quiet echo
It was a pretty safe gamble
to flee like a noble crook
But my naive wisdom
Said to stay and have a look
A peculiar day it was
A peculiar day it was
A peculiar day it was
Oh so peculiar
The righteous devil himself
Wearing a crooked halo
Lured me to a fireplace
To calm my nerves and let go
I turned into a black dove
And I could fly along the ground
So he gave me salty chocolate
And he watched me dance around
It was a pretty safe gamble
To run like a bat outta hell
But my naive wisdom
Said to fall under his spell
A peculiar day it was
A peculiar day it was
A peculiar day it was
Oh, so peculiar
I was happy as a howling mouse
Gargling holy beer
I displayed a healthy fever
You would never venture near
He gave a melancholy laugh
And whistled deep and low
Then breathed a flaming icicle
That would even scare a crow
It was a pretty safe gamble
To tell myself it was all a dream
But my naive wisdom
Said to set my spirit free
A peculiar day it was
A peculiar day it was
A peculiar day it was
Oh, so peculiar
Well, he drowned in solid quick sand
And left me all alone
So I picked up my guitar and wrote
This curious little song
…oh so peculiar

American Way

Do you wanna see a show where the Mason jars glow
I'll be there rain or shine
We'll have good time sipping whiskey and wine
The kids'll drink cola and lemon lime
I'll bring a Roman candle and American flag
Look up at the sky and see it wavin' back
And sing hey hey hey! And play that song all day
And light up the night the American way
The world’s turning technicolor at the drop of a hat
I've never seen a combination quite like that
She's looking so pretty in the warming night
He's hoping for a kiss by the morning light
Well it's about time we got to feeling fine
What's mine is yours and what's yours is mine
We'll sing hey hey hey! And play that song all day
And light up the night the American way
Pay no mind to that broken watch
My mood ring's glowing deep blue
We're in it for the minute just wait and see
Relax and let it take you through
We'll sing hey hey hey! And play that song all day
And light up the night the American way
The American way

Little House Big Barn
03:59
|

The key to you and me is all right here
It's nestled in the woods on a lake so clear
It's got a fire pit and an old porch swing
And a charming little chime when the doorbell rings
There's a perfect little place we can play guitar
And sit in lawn chairs lookin' up at stars
It's got a wood burnin' stove where a fire burns bright
Where we can cuddle with each other and the dog all night
It's not a mansion in the mountains
Or a plantation on the farm
The only missing piece between you and me
Is a little bitty house with a big ol' barn
It's got everything we need, and you know it ain't much
Just needs a coat of paint and a personal touch
You'll mount your huntin' trophies for our friends to see
I'll hang my daddy's stained glass picture of me
It's not a mansion in the mountains
Or a plantation on the farm
The only missing piece between you and me
Is a little bitty house with a big ol' barn
We can keep your old truck and the memories we hold dear
Don't worry ‘bout a thing
'Cause babe, we got it all right here
We can be so happy away from all harm
In our little bitty house...
With a big ol' barn
Let's fire up the grill, invite the old school gang
Get the barn party goin' safe under the rain
We'll pop that top, pass a jar around
Neighbors acres away won't even hear a sound
It's not a mansion in the mountains
Or a plantation on the farm
The only missing piece between you and me
Is a little bitty house with a big ol' barn
It's not a mansion in the mountains
Or plantation on the farm
The only missing piece between you and me
Is a little bitty house...
With a big ol' barn

The Road to You
06:00

Illuminated gingerbread homes
Migrations of birds and cumulus clouds
I flow with the wave of the winds
That bring me back to you
The long straight infinite roads
The harvested horizons
The sun goes down and the moon awaits
Guiding me to your door
I pass on by that country liquor store
And the bait shop by the lake
The empty schoolhouse parking lot
Gazing at cattle farms keeps me awake
I drive thru the town with one stop sign
A park, a market and a place to dine
While the sun goes down and the moon awaits
Guiding me to your door
The moment I'm with you, it's magical
And peaceful as a stream
I fall into your loving arms
And drift into a dream
Ooooooh….
Ooooooh….
But the night lives on and the sun will rise
I'll take one more kiss as we say our goodbyes
For the road awaits me now
The long straight infinite roads
That somehow circle around
And lead me back to you
A weathered old vegetable stand
A tiny little stage for a bluegrass band
I whistle with the sound of their tune
And it makes me think of you
I love the sparkle in your eyes
When you smile at me
Your soft spoken words and tender touch
I've never felt so free
Ooooooh….
Ooooooh….
But the night lives on and the sun will rise
I'll take one more kiss as we say our goodbyes
For the road awaits me now
The long straight infinite roads
That somehow circle around
And lead me back to you
And lead me back to you
And lead me back…
…To you
Ooooooh....
But the night lives on and the sun will rise
I'll take one more kiss as we say our goodbyes

Blank Pages
03:29
|

|
You might be healing from a wound
Or a loved one lost along the way
Visions linger and thoughts persuade
Overwhelming feelings of recalling the day
When the world took a nasty turn
And everything you were just washed away
Passions linger and scars remain
But you just can't think of a thing to say
Well you've got to start somewhere
On the slate so bare
Your cabin is awaiting
Your world is shaping
You might just feel you have nothing to share
But what's the sky without the stars?
You've got to start somewhere
You've been beaten and broken down
To believe that you have no words worth saying
Bullied and bruised till you're numb of the pain
But the tears are the words that you keep on praying
You're staring at blank pages now
Aching to awaken your stagnant soul
But the black-and-white rainbow is the link in your chain
Everything is now in your control
Yeah you've got to start somewhere
On the slate so bare
Your cabin is awaiting
Your world is shaping
You might just feel you have nothing to share
But what's the sky without the stars?
You've got to start somewhere
You may be drowning in the infinite dark
But the pages are the light to your dying spark
Fluffy white snow awaiting your tracks
Don't give a damn how they might react
Yeah you've got to start somewhere
On the slate so bare
Your cabin is awaiting
Your world is shaping
You might just feel you have nothing to share
But what's the sky without the stars?
You've got to start somewhere
You've got to start somewhere

One More Snooze
03:27
|
|||

The day's anew but I still feel exhausted
The alarm's the last refrain i want singing in my ear
I've traveled yet another town, the days began wear me down
I live the same old episode every year
The morning brew needs boiling and there's bacon in the pan
But I'm worn and torn and longing for an endless dreamland
I've scrubbed and swept and dusted, my achin' bones have rusted
And my head is spinning as I hear that one-note band
Oh, one more snooze, one more snooze
Well, I'm free to sleep a little longer if I choose
Now is not the time you know I'm feeling kind of fine
And I'll get up if I could only have one more snooze
It may be Christmas morning when all are out of bed
But I'm hanging on to sugarplums still dancing in my head
‘Cause when the late shift ended, my pillow time is splendid
“I ain’t getting any younger”, ‘s what they always said
Oh, one more snooze, one more snooze
Well, I'm free to sleep a little longer if I choose
Now is not the time you know I'm feeling kind of fine
And I'll get up if I could only have one more snooze
That alarm, it keeps a buzzing, ten more minutes fall behind
But I'm busy boatin' river-floatin', sunshine on my mind
Ignore that beepin’ clock, I'm relaxing on the dock
Demands today'll have to wait so I can take my time
Oh, one more snooze, one more snooze
Well, I'm free to sleep a little longer if I choose
Now is not the time you know I'm feeling kind of fine
And I'll get up if I could only have one more snooze
Oh, one more snooze, one more snooze
Well, I'm free to sleep a little longer if I choose
Now is not the time you know I'm feeling kind of fine
And I'll get up if I could only have one more snooze
