Back on the road

Some friends took me out on the town 

Yeah, I'm doing fine
For the very first time
Since she let me down 

like a worn-out truck, 

Trash on the dash, 

Tires flat, out of gas, 

and stuck in the mud 

Now her image is fading, like an old Polaroid
I rev the engine up, and leave that dust behind 

I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road
Yeah, I'm back on the road 

Yeah I'm ready to roll 

I’m in damn good shape 

Ever since I escaped 

Now it’s all systems go 

Locking eyes with a girl on a Friday night 

Gonna ask her name and take her for a ride 

I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road
Yeah, I'm back on the road 

Rain stops pouring, birds start singing again It's not if, but when 

I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road

I'm back on the road
Girl I did recover
Life is painted red
Yes I'm back
Looking for another
Heart that I can hold
I’m back on the road

Yeah I'm back on the road

Girl I did recover (life is painted red yes I'm back)
I’m out to find another (life is painted red yes I'm back)

heart that I can hold (life is painted red yes I'm back) 

I'm back on the road

Honey in my Head

Her hair like sunlight

on a field of wheat

eyes filled with wonder

Freckles on her cheeks

drunk with her beauty 

stoned on her smile

her smalltown sweetness

knocks me out for a while

She's like honey in my head

since the sunny summer day we met

it's raining kisses on her neck

Heaven in my bed - honey in my head

I've never felt like that

sweet sweet things that she did

everything is spinning a bit

around around around around

in my head in my head in my head

she's like honey in my head

Don't need no whisky

to get a buzz like that 

To be this happy

I don‘t need Prozac 

She makes me dizzy

with her fingertips

an' like a bee to a blossom 

I'm addicted to her lips 

She's like honey in my head

since the sunny summer day we met

it's raining kisses on her neck

Heaven in my bed - honey in my head

I've never felt like that

sweet sweet things that she did

everything is spinning a bit

around around around around

in my head, in my head, in my head

she's like honey in my head

I'll never forget our hot rendezvous

and how I discovered her tiny secret tattoo

She's like honey in my head

since the sunny summer day we met

it's raining kisses on her neck

Heaven in my bed - honey in my head

I've never felt like that

sweet sweet things that she did

everything is spinning a bit

around around around around

She's like honey in my head

since the sunny summer day we met

it's raining kisses on her neck

'I love you' she said - honey in my head

I've never felt like that

sweet sweet things that she did

everything is spinning a bit

around around around around

in my head in my head in my head

in my head in my head

in my head

she's like honey in my head

Wild horse Rider

She is a little less ballet than rodeo

She's beautiful but it's not like her to show

Grown up in the fields of Arkansas

raised by brother John and her grandma

More confident than everyone I've met

hands on her hips daring me a bit 

she's nobody's fool, but she's my girl

and sometimes I may be a fool for her

A sexy grin and sunburned skin

a worn-out baseball cap

Working gear and ash blond hair

yeah - she's like that

My red rose from the cotton fields

she's a little bit off the track

rough but irresistible

yeah - she is like that

never try to tame her 

she'll buck you off her back

Like a wild horse rider

yeah - it feels like that

She's the fastest gun in town and she ain't shy

but a dead bird on the porch will make her cry

She's pretty, she's hot and so damned smart 

but best of all she's got a golden heart

A sexy grin and sunburned skin

a worn-out baseball cap

Working gear and ash blond hair

yeah - she's like that

My red rose from the cotton fields

she's a little bit off the track

rough but irresistible

yeah - she is like that

never try to tame her

she'll buck you off her back

like a wild horse rider

yeah - it feels like that

Sometimes she needs a shoulder to lean on

I'm proud she's chosen me to be the one

My red rose from the cotton fields

she's a little bit off the track

rough but irresistible

yeah - she is like that

never try to tame her

she'll buck you off her back

like a wild horse rider 

- it feels like that

My red rose from the cotton fields

she's a little bit off the track

rough but irresistible

yeah - she is like that

never try to tame her

she'll buck you off her back

like a wild horse rider 

Yeah - it feels like that

Revel in love devine

Sunday comes blinking through the blinds

I feel your bed-warm skin on mine

Waking up from a strange dream

I realize that all I need 

is you and me

underneath these sheets.

Last week’s fuss and overtime 

drowned in a bottle of red wine 

made us skip church for today

instead of blessings from above 

we give each other 

our precious love

We can’t stop the world from turning round

but you and I we have a way to slow it down

we let the demons play outside

let them burn in the morning light

we take this moment in time 

and revel in love divine

And when you tell me with your eyes

of all the hurt you feel inside

I fly with you up to the stars

and love away all the pain

until your tears

turn to Champagne 

We can’t stop the world from turning round

but you and I we have a way to slow it down

we let the demons play outside

let them burn in the morning light

take this moment in time 

and revel in love divine

When fake and hate get too much for us

I give you mine and you give me your love

and we’re fine 

for a while

We can’t stop the world from turning round

you and I we have our way to slow it down

let the demons play outside

let them burn in morning light

take this moment in time 

and revel in love divine

When we can’t stop this world from turning round

we steal this moment in time

and revel in love divine

Summer 's Gone

The Carolina sky is fading to grey

and the pier on the beach clouded in mist

with tears in her eyes she sighed it's okay

leaving me with a lump in my throat 

and a farewell kiss

When we were walking on cloud nine

I thought the sun would always shine 

now radio 's playin' a rainy day song

and time 's moving on

A northern breeze is blowin' in

raising goose bumps on my skin

a roosters crowing in the foggy dawn

sweet summer 's gone 

tanned skin glowing dusky in moonlight

with all my senses drinking her in

Learning all the secrets of a magic night

caressed by the gentle whisper 

of a southern wind

When we were walking on cloud nine

I thought the sun would always shine 

now  radio 's playin' a rainy day song

and time 's moving on

A northern breeze is blowin' in 

raising goose bumps on my skin

a roosters crowing in the foggy dawn

sweet summer 's gone 

diving so deep and flying so high

it felt so wrong to say goodbye

When we were walking on cloud nine

I thought the sun would always shine 

now  radio 's playin' a rainy day song

and time 's moving on

A northern breeze is blowin' in

raising goose bumps on my skin

a roosters crowing in the foggy dawn

sweet summer 's gone 

and radio 's playin' a last summer song

Hometown

The Greyhound dropped me off

close to that little dive bar

you could hear the tic-tac bass

and a whining steel guitar

it was here that my daddy washed

the coal dust from his throat

before he got laid off

and struck down by a stroke

Old brick walls with graffiti

broken glass and flaking paint

at least that old Chevron station

at the corner still remains

This is where we hung out

bumming cigarettes and beer

longing for the glorious day

we finally get out of here

In my hometown

they shut the coil mine down

In my hometown

faith is losing ground

In my hometown

they used to say life goes on somehow

but it’s sure been a hard way to go

In my hometown

I walked past that weathered for sale sign

crossed that dust covered floor

not quite sure why I’m here

and what I’m looking for

I close my eyes and turn back time

feel the spirit in this place

I almost hear Mama laughing in the backyard

we sure had some good ole days

In my hometown

they shut the coil mines down

In my hometown

faith is losing ground

In my hometown

we used to say life goes on somehow

sometimes it’s a hard way to go

In my hometown

I strolled down to the diner

she waited tables now and then

I wondered what it be like

if I met her again

It’s just like I remembered

those same old vinyl seats

but no one knows my girl

at Laura’s Meat ’n Three

In my hometown

they shut the coil mine down

In my hometown

faith is losing ground

In my hometown

I used to know a girl with curly hair

and when I dream about her 

she still lives here 

in my hometown

in my hometown

Craving the Beach

It's been raining for days sky 's grey and dark

thinking of her is the hardest part                        

same bar another buzz since a couple of nights

I'm getting tired of those neon lights 

The bartender asks 'What'll it be'             

Man I need a change of scenery

I'm craving some beach days                

and a southern breeze

swinging' in a hammock under coconut trees

a wet 'n wild banana boat ride

steel drums echoing through the night

might get my heart some relief

I'm craving the beach

Drinking didn't work I'm still feeling depressed

and go for some help from my therapist

he said no big deal I've got some pills for you

and if you feel bad just take one or two

But drugs get me numb I almost fell asleep

I think he didn't get what I really need

I'm craving some beach days                

and a southern breeze

swinging' in a hammock under coconut trees

a wet 'n wild banana boat ride

steel drums echoing through the night

might get my heart some relief

I'm craving the beach

Booze and drugs ain't gonna clear my mind    

I've booked an Air B & B and a budget flight      

Put my shades and my flip-flops on         

It's high time - I‘m off and gone            

I'm craving some beach days and a starry sky

a bunch of happy people where the girls ain‘t shy

they hold me tight when we dance all night

everything 's gonna be alright

all my troubles are out of reach

I'm craving some beach days and a southern breeze

swingin' in a hammock under coconut trees

a wet 'n wild banana boat ride

steel drums echoing through the night

might get my heart some relief

I'm craving the beach

Oh, I'm craving the beach 

Oh I need a beach

I need a beach

I'm craving the beach

Zombie

Cigarette smoke hangin' in the air

an empty whisky bottle tipped over on it's side

all the blinds pulled down

A moldy pizza in a box

old grunge jeans and dirty boots and a blotted Hard Rock shirt

scattered on the ground

Just another night here on the couch, but that's ok

this house has way to many rooms

when you're not around 

Without you

I'm a stranger to myself

Without you

I've been under a bad spell

I'm a soulless husk with a smell of booze

a walking dead, it's the bitter truth

baby I'm a zombie without you

Baby I know I did you wrong

there's no undo button and I can't turn back the clock

but I swear that I will try

your name is in my DNA, and if you leave

you'll make a monster out of me

please don't say goodbye

Without you

I'm a stranger to myself

Without you

I've been under a bad spell

I'm a soulless husk with a smell of booze

a walking dead, it's the bitter truth

baby I'm a zombie without you

I know I should have told you that before

I took too much for granted till you turned around

and slammed that door

Without you

I'm a stranger to myself

Without you

I've been under a bad spell

I'm a soulless husk with a smell of booze

a walking dead, it's the bitter truth

baby I'm a zombie without you

and only you can save me from the blue

Like A Child

When it calls your name
 When it starts singing
 you can't pretend like
 you didn't hear anything

Innocent and sweet
 it comes into our life
 and you need to take good care of it
 so that it grows and thrives

Sometimes it cries
 Sometimes it smiles and shines
 Sometimes it's running wild
 Love is like a child 

She took my freedom away
 when she knocked on my door
 but she made me feel something
 I've never felt before 

One day she ran away
 I know I did her wrong
 and I hit rock bottom
 it hurt so bad when she was gone

Sometimes it cries
 Sometimes it smiles and shines
 Sometimes it's running wild
 Love is like a child 

Keep it warm when it get's cold

with all your heart and soul

keep it safe at any cost.

Cause if you lose it, you're lost.

Sometimes it cries
 Sometimes it smiles and shines
 Sometimes it's running wild
 Love is like a child 

Sometimes it cries
 Sometimes it smiles and shines
Sometimes it's running wild
 Love is like a child
