Someday I'm Gonna Find That World
Oh rather than running away
I'm gonna hide here where I'm gonna stay
See if anything come of dreaming
Fantasies of a fantasy world
I can't get much going here
Life is aging me in the mirror
But my dreams are still pretty clear
Someday I'm gonna find that world
(Chorus)
Here it's just fires or floods
If I choose to stay
Same old routine everyday
oh and fame would help to pay the bills
but then I'd have more bills to pay
Hits us hard in different ways
some love boredom and playing it safe
I hit the road in my dreams every day
Someday I'm gonna find that world
What you fade away you can't get back
Aging eyes are under attack
I'll keep looking
I'm on track
While I'm listening to Ronnie Earl
Rhythm means more than lead
Giving means more than greed
Freedom means more when freed
Someday I'm gonna find that world.
(Chorus)

Your Smile Is Your Wealth
In the morning
sun is on your face
in the evening
gone is your embrace.
(chorus)
Hey, wear the rain on your brow
Be beautiful, take life sweetly
Don't be like them, express yourself
Your smile is your wealth.
I have followed me
and found me under your feet.
I will lift you
until the stars retreat.
(chorus)
I have met you
when my life has been unfair.
I will let you
think of me and I'll be there.
(chorus x2)

Lost The Fiddle But We Got The Bow
Everybody wants to fall in love
Everybody wants a love that flies
When it’s new how’s it going to go?
I lost the fiddle but I’ve got the bow
(Chorus)
We just want to rock n’ roll
dance until we lose control
we can go where the good times go
I lost the fiddle but I’ve got the bow.
Make no mistake being free
easy to teach stupidity
If you don’t cast much a shadow
and you lost the fiddle but you’ve got the bow
(Chorus)
Leave your history behind
Trust your luck
don’t be defined
Don’t let life put a tag on your toe
If you lost the fiddle you got the bow
(Chorus)

The Dark Highway

The Dark Highway
How many times before I crash must I ride this dark highway?
darkness everywhere I see
and how many eyes must I meet in the open prairie skyway
with not a care about me?
It's true that I've been hiding
from where I've been and where I'm going
and I don't ask anybody how they're doing -
There's been no drinks bought for me
because I steer near the walls
and behind my eyes are lies and disillusions
It's true that I'm immune to the carnival
and the social hurricane that blows and burns all around me
I'm here in this skin looking in
thinking of neitzsche saying "my friends, but what are friends?"
nobody's found me
Watching people I've known for years
leave me alone while I stay home or on the road
while they become such great companions
It breaks my heart because I'm here
leaning on this bitter tear
and I'm but a raincloud to the great depths of their canyons.

What Good Is A Heart Without Love?
I can't get a lift I guess I better run
What good is a heart without love?
Those who ignore us never seem to go away
What good is a heart without love?
Well I must be in love with the pain
baby, I'm lost without a train
broken heart running wherever these dreams are bound
But it's time to pick up the pace
because these are the good old days
the sunshine around your brain as you dance around
I tried the churches tried the bars but true life is on the road
What good is a heart without love?
but we've come a long long way
why must we have such a long way to go
What good is a heart without love?
I can make things happen but I'm stranded on this ice
singing in my memory laughing at the wildness of dice
my memories can't be trusted unless they're made in central time
wash my spirit clean beneath the western sun
What good is a heart without love?
I tried the churches tried the bars but true life is on the road
What good is a heart without love?
but we've come a long long way
and now we've got a long way to go
What good is a heart without love?
What good is a heart without love?
What good is a heart without love?

Nothing Else To Find But God
I’ve picked up all of my possessions
Searched hard and long in times forgot
Now there’s a tool for my intentions
And I’ve nothing else to find but God
What else can we do to kill time?
Time keeps you alive, I’ve been taught.
Grief and love they know no time
and I’ve nothing else to find but God
I’ve nothing else to find but God
God help me on my way to freedom
I’ve been cursing your aim since I was born
In a shallow world too deep to dream in
Boomers left us this world so worn
Where do I go to have my prime?
Nightmares have turned these dreams to fraud
But count your blessings
You’re born for these times
and you’ve nothing else to find but God
You’ve nothing else to find but God.
Left for dead but I won’t die
Beauty is a moment that’s been caught
Look on the bright side
We will all survive
with nothing else to find but God.

Deal With The Devil

Deal With The Devil
I made a deal with the devil
wish I could take it back
I was going too far in that direction
seemed the going was getting black
and the saddest thing of all
is I lost you along the way
and lost the things that I care about
and these days I forget to pray
these days I forget to pray.
I can't find my way home
when I'm out taking care of feelings
and they leave me on uncertain roads
everywhere's been sketchy dealings
and the saddest thing of all
is I lost you along the way
I was the first to go
because I was the last to stay
Suddenly I can't turn back - and I'm running fast into a wall
We hit a snag that day
when I moved down the line
it gets harder to be a dreamer
with the bells ringing all the time
good luck in your search for perfection
and I will do the same
there's a road stretched out there waiting
and to leave it there's a crying shame

Before Our Long Goodbyes

Before Our Long Goodbyes
Won't matter to thrill me now
when someone comes my way
I lost a lot of friends
some are gone
and some are here to stay
(Chorus)
When memories chase you
don't let time erase you
you'll only have more to show
and you can't deny it
once you've learned to ride it
your road's the only way to go.
I was lost in her eyes
summer days were long and flying by
she helped me find some long lost songs
before our long goodbyes
(Chorus)
And I can't deny it
it's all how you survive it
we'll always have a long way to go
and I can't deny it now that I've learned to ride it
this road's the only road to know
(Bridge)
I'm a man without a soul
count me in on this war
surviving all these days
obscurely yours
When the masters are gone it's up to us to carry on
the oldest memories feel like yesterday and the future feels so long
(Chorus)
My heaven ain't burning
it's somewhere I'm returning
and I'll still see the sunshine on you
so pass up your shotgun
don't lose sleep over someone
who isn't losing sleep over you.
I was lost in her eyes
summer days were long and flying by
She helped me find some long lost songs
before our long goodbyes.

Tell Me Now
Searching for someone I know searching where the ragged people go
A never-ending song had sung inside my mind but it kept me moving on
(Chorus)
Have you seen the man who dreamed he had seen my long lost friend?
If you know what I don't know - tell me now.
After finding shelter from a storm that blew so hard and left me starved and cold
I went out searching high and low and all I found was my shadow on this road.
(Chorus)
Stolen truth has led my mind back to the times I loved her when we met
Fear has come and fear has gone and has led me to hate my deep will to forget.
(Chorus).

She Just Won’t Let Me Through
Nothing is out of my league now to admire
Keeps my soul going
Set my soul on fire
These times I’m wondering what I’m gonna do
I’m seeing her and she just won’t let me through.
I’m dreaming now with these tears in my eyes
Grief and true love seem to know no time
I’ve got nothing else to find but you
and I’m seeing her but she just won’t let me through
Time runs away
sunny love goes astray
life’s too short to waste
if you don’t ever play
someday they will see I was deep in misery
living here and she just won’t let me through.
So if you have a love who shares their soul
hang on so hard because life can get so cold
What looks good on paper
they just don’t have a clue
I’m seeing her and she just won’t let me through
I’m seeing her and she just won’t let me through.
