Cheyenne

I keep coming back here,
I guess cuz this is where we used to be.
Now I’m finding over time
This was never really home for me
Drive the same familiar roads
But they just don’t feel the same
Have me feeling incomplete
While I’m living on a street that bares your maiden name
And I think it’s time to go.
I wonder if you’ll even know
Rolled a million miles
Under starry skies
Played in stadiums
And for empty dives
Drank a lot more than I made
Handed back all I was paid.
Toasted champagne toasts
Along with champagne friends
Curled up to a bottle
Praying for the end
All alone, end of this dance,
Maybe it’s time
That I give Cheyenne a chance.
I keep driving by the house
Where you finally showed me the door,
Teaching me some kinda lesson
About gratitude,
And wanting just a little bit more
There used to be a time
I thought I knew that heart within
But I guess I’ll wish him luck
Cuz is sure don’t’ take much
For you to fall in love again
And I guess that it’s time to go.
I wonder if you’d even know.
Rolled a million miles
Under starry skies
Played in stadiums
And for empty dives
Drank a lot more than I made
Handed back all I was paid.
Toasted champagne toasts
Along with champagne friends
Curled up to a bottle
Praying for the end
All alone, end of this dance,
Maybe it’s time
That I give Cheyenne a chance.
In the city where we started
I just want to rest my head
Take a little time
To wrap my head around
The ugly things you’ve said
There’s a place that I belong
But I haven’t found it yet.
And I’m sleeping with the ghost of unforgiveness
In the shadows of regret.
Rolled a million miles
Under starry skies
Played in stadiums
And for empty dives
Drank a lot more than I made
Handed back all I was paid.
Toasted champagne toasts
Along with champagne friends
Curled up to a bottle
Praying for the end
All alone, end of this dance,
Maybe it’s time
That I give Cheyenne a chance.

Coming Back To Texas
03:26
|

I'm coming back to Texas,
For the very last time,
I made a promise to get back there,
By the end of the night,
I spent the last four hours
Having the time of my life,
Now I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time.
I guess the air got a l'il heavy,
And my legs got a little weak,
After a lifetime as a loser,
I finally found my winning streak,
Gave 'em all just a little wink,
And a quick wave goodbye,
Now I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time.
You see a songbird singin'
Wasn't meant to see the cage,
And my soul poured out through my fingers
Into the blood I left on the stage,
I guess my show is finally over,
So I'll thank you and goodnight,
I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time.
A little boy out of Oak Cliff,
Who wanna be just like his brother
So I picked up his guitar
And learned to play it like no other,
Got a girl waiting back at home,
So i'mma get on this ride,
And now I'm coming back to Texas,
For the very last time
You see a songbird singing,
Wasn't meant to see the cage,
And my soul poured out through my fingers,
Into the blood I left on the stage,
I guess my show is finally over,
So I'll thank you and goodnight,
And now I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time,
I guess I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time,
My soul will finally rest in Texas
For the very First Time.

To Be Honest Juliet
03:03
|
|||
Woke up at 4 am,
Listening to the train go whistling
Through the dark again,
Lie awake in silence wishing
For some old, familiar warmth
Beside me in this bed,
Mind creating pictures of you
Torturing my head.
So I’ll light to fight the darkness
And that whisper coming in
Exhale into the empty truth
Of a fight I cannot win
And the sun’s gonna rise in a little while
So I’ll hide behind this smile
And set myself against the odds,
Losing arguments with God.
Well it hasn’t broken me yet,
And to be honest Juliet
You’re the better part of me
That I want to set free
But I’m just not ready yet.
I’m not ready yet.
Rolled out of bed at ten,
Going through the motions of pretending
To be human
Listening to the songs that let me wallow in the pain
Imagining your cold reaction
To hear I’m gone again
So I’ll light to fight the darkness
And the whispers coming in,
Exhale into the empty truth
Of a fight I cannot win
And the sun’s gonna rise in a little while
So I’ll hide behind this smile
And set myself against the odds,
Losing arguments with God.
Well it hasn’t broken me yet,
And to be honest Juliet
You’re the better part of me
That I want to set free
But I’m just not ready yet.
I’m not ready yet.

Worth It
05:28
|

She said let's go,
Right now, Let’s get out
And get on the road
If I don't get out of the Big Town
I think I’ll explode,
Let's get lost in a road trip
Press play and crank up the sound
As we drove past the buildings
I felt her soul lift off the ground.
She just danced in the ocean,
A beautiful dream
That couldn't get closer to perfect.
And Souls in slow motion
But Torn at the seams
Every skipped heartbeat was worth it
Yeah, you’re worth it.
Took my hand in the moonlight,
Pulled us both in the the surf,
At that moment I wondered
If she ever really knew what she was worth
She just danced in the ocean,
A beautiful dream
That couldn't get closer to perfect
2 Souls in slow motion
And Torn at the seams
Every skipped heartbeat was worth it
Yeah you’re worth it.
Oh you’re worth it.
Stars in her eyes and the salt
On her skin,
She opened the door
Now she won’t let me in
Hearts intertwined
Now ripped out Just to bleed
She said “you can’t love me”
I don’t know what that means.
I’m drowning in her ocean
Such a terrible dream
The Closest that I’ve been perfect
2 Souls in stop-motion
Torn apart at the seams,
Every missed heartbeat was worth it.
Yeah, your worth it.
Goddamn you’re worth it
She was worth it.

This Journey Never Ends
04:59
|

Dogs howl in the distance.
Lets get these wagons moving out.
Devil offers no resistance.
A blind guide is riding scout.
Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends. Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends.
Younger sons of grey haired mothers.
Drag across the dusty land.
Coyotes are calling out to their lovers.
All across this barren land.
Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends. Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends.
Poor man’s treasure cast aside.
Lets lighten up these heavy the loads.
My children’s eyes are looking up and asking “why?”
Are we on this lonely road.
Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends. Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends.
Golden fields they are lying right ahead.
Paradise waits just around the bend.
I look up towards the sky, a raven flying overhead.
I look down upon the sand, a pale rider ridin in.
Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends. Oh Lord, please save our souls. This Journey never ends.
Salted prison, a test of will.
Sorrow by the mile.
Days go by and we suffer still.
Good Lord is there no end to this trial.
Oh Lord, can you save our souls. This Journey never ends. Oh Lord, can you save our souls. This Journey never ends.
Oh Lord, can you save our souls. This Journey never ends. Oh Lord, can you save our souls. This Journey never ends.
It never ends.
