Once I had a train Drove the southern skys It dove into the rain Washed till it dried And my favorite part of livin then was feelin set free Like I knew what that was But time its seemed to pass My ways didn’t last Long forgotten now I speak to them like old friends We sit around the table, ive seen a lot of things Its surreal as a light show but I sit there till the end Oh I want to go back to sleeping in the hollows, theres a long string of things I should’ve Done Shadows down, matters all around, left up from the old rounds its all in the things ive seen So I come home from a late night To a campfire in the starlight This home is not a home but its alright Feels more natural than most nights And the road goes on forever I feel it now it holds me more than ever Its been a long way on short track, feel all the small cracks, wait until tomorrow learn the day will come I feel left in some old way, find myself day to day, thinking about things that could have been Once I had a train Drove the southern skies It dove into the rain Washed till it dried Continued on around twisting through the same marked door Found itself a home but without love there is no more What’s real is what he wants it to be Realized that but found the same old me

Summertime she comes She brings gracefully the sun The summer light shine so bright Fall down on me and let me know its alright Everyday she brings Like the cuckoo she sings The joyous state of light The darkest day and night We may never know Oooh ooh oooh She greets the morning sun shine 5am its not too early she wakes up in all its glory The birds were chirping all night through She marks them down with care and caution never stops she knows their marking Jumping swiftly tree to tree Oooh my summer time bee Oooh how I miss thee Laying out in the sunshine Find she has a lot of things to say Its beautiful and so are you I want to be with you everyday But out with time and the rains will come Catch you asleep and exposed Flooded ways flood your days Stuck between some muddy ways And there we stand Oooh ooh oooh She greets the moring sunshine 9am its not too early She wakes up her heads still blurry The cars were running all night through She looks so high in the morning See her smile you feel her warming Makes you feel like your alive Oooh my summer time bee Oooh how I miss thee But if a seed took root And found its way into full bloom Who am I to cause you pain You are young and things they change Ill stay here So lay back today Let the sun have her way Greet the grey, feel the way, Lie to me and tell me it’ll be okay Oooh ooh oooh

Go ahead, go ahead Travel this world Just don’t wait for me anymore I’ve got my own money saved I’ve got my own change And I don’t need the richness of your name No I don’t need the richness of your name But I can’t live with the thought When the feeling is lost Cause my whole worlds been tossed Around you Wise man will say Watch what you’ve willed It’s been a long way and I still want tell So collect up my things Cause I’ve held them within Oh I wish we could all be kinder Oh I wish I could find my mind here But I can’t live with the thought When the feeling is lost Cause my whole worlds been tossed Around you My words change Some things re-arrange And this whole thing is strange Cause I’m left the same Confounds me Ooooh just wait a minute and see what’s on this road Ooooh I won’t admit it but I’m scared cause I’m alone It’s been a long long time (don’t talk about it) I just don’t know what to do Seems to numb my mind (just forget about it) I wanna die when I talk to you So go ahead, go ahead Travel this world Just don’t wait for me anymore I’ve got my own money saved I’ve got my own change And I don’t need the richness of your name No I don’t need the richness of your name

Okay Birds 04:00
Okay birds the place is yours No said because everyone was dead The smell of carbon left the air Nothing but solitude, oh wait who cares The sun rised like normal The deer crossed the street If rocks were people you’d here them speak But alas I could not care We spend our lifetimes Wondering who we are Sure does seem like a long time To see whats near as far No janitors of justice No juries of fate Just the hum of air conditioners left on in our wake I could not care you know I see it through my own eyes But this silence aint lasting Feels to much like home Saw through earth to cut through bone Just don’t reach the other side We spend our lifetimes Wondering who we are Sure does seem like a long time To see whats near as far Ooooh ooooh ooooh To my eyes its pleasing To your eyes It looks the same To my eyes its needed The world says it’s a shame So everything I’m after And everything I own Find some consolation In the fact I’m having fun We spend our lifetimes Wondering who we are Sure does seem like a long time To see whats near as far

I’m Coming down love Can you feel me? Im fading faster than the rain Why do I have to live this way I get here and I go away Chasing mountains On an endless stray Drive this whole damn country through But its not the brand new day That makes me come for long enough to stay I gotta find my way home I’m coming for you Wait by the river And I’ll play this song for you Read a letter I wrote to say Time sure has a way Battered down and I feel the sway Saw it in a dream the other day I gotta find my way home I’m coming for you Wait by the river And I’ll play this song for you I gotta find my way home I’m coming for you Wait by the river And I’ll play this song for you Driving out now the world feels grey The sun shines heavy on your face And it’s yellow blue green and grey Telling me to come back today Will you still be there if I stay?

Life in Maps 04:00
Why don’t we wait on it Time comes, rewinds, and spits Through you ill find my fit Love holds the way its best Greeting the morning sunshine Find out im just not fit To work the way my mind thinks Its gold the way it works Leaves me better of with quirks Greeting the morning sunshine Cant find no better way to spend my day Move on go forward, then turn Breathe air, exist, and re-learn Its not much different than when I was a young man Greeting the morning sunshine Cant find no better way to spend my day Run away from your worries Hold tight don’t hurry Its alright Cause im coming soon Spend time and think this through Try to find what sings to you Even though you know it deep down World challenges, fall down Greeting the morning sunshine One day I hope ill find Reasons deep in my mind Fly now, go south, head out Mark territory, rebound Greeting the morning sunshine Cant find no better way to spend my day I’ve found some better ways to spend my days

Come along its wealth and happiness Come along just follow me Fire burns it does not hesitate Lays its down for the world to see Wish I knew the way to happiness Wish the path just came to be Spend a lifetime on the road I walk alone because alone is free And it leaves beautiful day dreams Of yourself right in your mind Yes it leaves beautiful day dreams Of yourself right in your mind Look around all I find is misery You leave it there but it follows you Followed me into the country Followed me but it was long overdue So now im waiting for the tides to change When morning comes ill feel better again Days pass as im softly leaving you Wallow round till I find my way Wallow round till I find my way And it leaves beautiful day dreams Of yourself right in your mind Yes it leaves beautiful day dreams Of yourself right in your mind Look out across the sky The land is flat and so am I Collect my thoughts and follow them I see the mountains and will see them again And it leaves beautiful day dreams Of yourself right in your mind Yes it leaves beautiful day dreams Of yourself right in your mind

You can ramble around This whole wide world Looking for money And a brown haired girl Ive got a message to bring Fate don’t stop when you’ve got a heavy load I towed my baby just as far as she would go I’ve got a message to bring I headed down to new mexico But the rains came in and my luck ran cold I’ve got a message to bring La da da la da da Fly a way while you still can. I then went north to Colorado Where the whiskeys sweet and the goings slow I got a message to bring Hopeless love finds you when your week Mama warned me but she tastes so sweet I got a message to bring Saw my baby the very next week, but she locked my hear and stole the key Got a message to bring La da da la da da Fly a way while you still can. Well she’ll knock you off your feet, kick you off your socks You find the milk and honey and the fun don’t stop yeahh But now I cry Yeah, but now I cry Leaving town going out alone Kira’s coming and now she’s gone Some can’t see the flowers through the trees I’ll take my chances where the wind leads me You can ramble around This whole wide world Looking for money And a brown haired girl Ive got a message to bring La da da fly away while you still can
