Ace Of Spades
Since you've gone I've been playing with the notion
that nothing's ever gonna hold me in your ocean
Cause honey I've got blades and the ace of spades
that will make you stay if you let me play
lonely in the fingers of the breeze
A worried man will tell you what you got
A hurried man will sell you what you've got
Oh honey you can try to make your heart worthwhile
if you'll let me smile when i've got no style
cause maybe you might be taking it from me
(Chorus) life just gets in the way
of me making my music
but being with you was the best mistake that I ever made x2

Going Out West

Going Out West
The going nowhere people
Life has passed them by
They don't believe in nothing
Even what's behind their lies
and they don't have nothing good to say
tomorrow or today
and today is just another day gone by
but I'm going somewhere better
to hell with all the weather
to hell with the bottle by my side
I'm going out west to the sunshine and the love.
I wonder about those people
where they all could go
If the money wasn't running out
if their friends weren't up in smoke
And they don't have nothing good to say
to you or to me
and to themselves they're just as blind as they can be
but I'm going somewhere better
to hell with all the weather
to hell with the bottle by my side
I'm going out west to the sunshine and the love.
Someone called me brother
and they had a drink on me
but nothing would make me feel more fine
than going somewhere better
to hell with all the weather
to hell with the bottle by my side
I'm going out west to the sunshine and the love.

Hold On

Hold On
In Babylon I'm making money
Watching my old spirit fade
I'm grateful for fleeting moments
of any grace that comes my way
But deep down here while I'm living
Something deep down is going wrong
I think back to where I came from
Hold on
(Chorus)
Hold on Hold on
Till the painful heartache is gone
Someday this will all be a song
hold on
Hold On Hold On
It was beautiful now it's gone
Why must we always be strong
Hold On
My mother's been slowly fading
but she still laughs with tears in her eyes
her heart still knows she loves me
I hear it in her goodbyes
When I tell her "I love you, mom"
She always says "I love you more"
I just want this nightmare over
Hold On
Hold On Hold On
When the best things are going wrong
Till the painful heartache is gone
hold on
Hold On Hold On
Till we're together again hold on
Why must we always have to be strong
Hold On
(Bridge)
How do I break away to see you?
Memories will be the only way
Hold On Hold On
Till the painful heartache is gone
Why must we always have to be strong
hold on
Hold On Hold On
Someday this will all be a song
Till the painful days are gone
hold on
Till we're together again
hold on

I Don't Want You Around

I Don't Want You Around
Is there anything else you could be doing with your time?
I don't want you around
So many days I wish it was 2009
I don't want you around
Everyday poison keeps eating me away
something you do or something you say
it doesn't have to always be this way
I don't want you around.
Tired of feeling so mean all the time
I don't want you around
You can run but you never seem to hide
I don't want you around
Memories start feeling like a knife
Got a vanilla wife and a vanilla love life
when is it ever the right time to gripe
that I don't want you around?
1800 days you don't deserve of mine
I don't want you around
stop thinking it's just how the planets align
I don't want you around
It was way too much trouble getting out here
now I feel so bad because the end is near
now to get laid again I gotta end my career
because I don't want you around

Blue Moon Blues
Hard to take a break
Hard to live a lie
Hard to take a break
Hard to live a lie
I'm looking for a blue moon
Somewhere in the big sky
Love's got me running
And I got nowhere to hide
Love's got me running
and I got nowhere to hide
I'm looking for the blue moon
rolling slow across the sky
Somewhere someday
I'll be on my feet again
Somewhere someday
I'll be on my feet again
I'm looking for a blue moon
To come take away my pain
Some people dance some people sing
some people dance some people sing
I'm looking for a blue moon
something anything
Waiting in the wings
Looking to survive
Waiting in the wings
Looking to survive
I'm looking for my blue moon
remind me why I'm alive
People judge the lost
because of something they've found
People judge the lost
Because of something they've found
I'm just looking for a blue moon
whenever she comes around.

Long Face
(Chorus)
Hey hey why the long face?
When you've made so many smile?
Hey hey why the long face?
Why the thoughts of suicide?
Hey remember laughing?
To do that again someday
Remember all those great friends?
They're still out there somewhere someway
(Chorus)
Hey hey remember hugging?
All those sweet babes in the past?
Remember they forgave you
and their husbands got in last?
Hey hey remember when love
was something fun versus the fear?
Remember never doubting
Who you saw there in the mirror?
(Chorus)
Hey remember doing what you wanted everyday?
Remember those people who sang along to songs you made?
(Chorus)

Still Searching

Still Searching
Is there anyone out there
still searching for faith?
Still searching to be let down
never to be embraced?
To live like a lonely drifter
with only a soul to give
to take a heartless stand with
an army at hand
lining the facts with myth?
I don't mind killing time dreaming some dream away
Beyond the point of rescue before the break of day
Waiting for some girl to come to stand right by my side
She admires me from a distant point
she can never say I cried.
(Chorus)
Destiny led me but now I find I'm still searching
Merciless so I was left behind
But I don't mind a memory approaching
It'd be so hard not to change a mind.
I was somebody out there long searching for faith
Cast a glance to a better road and found myself turning away
Till I stood in some cheap hotel with my spirit on the floor
Chancing lies just to summarize the life I'd have loved to known
(Chorus x2)

Waiting On The Wings Of Change
Waiting on the wings of change
pain won't stop me spreading my wings
I'm tired of showing up at this party and there's nobody there
I'm tired of giving and not getting back
and time is turning unfair.
Today is harder than yesterday
Friends they've all come and gone away
Her phone matters more than my loneliness I'm afraid
That's why I'm waiting on the wings of change
(Chorus)
Sure hard to say when the race is run
When will I be someone again?
I looked for love and all that I found
was another distant friend
Wish I could find the life on my mind
I would love it blind
She's got me here and there's no loving near
someday I'll disappear.
Afraid we'll get this end nowhere
Trade one hell for another dare
I'm old in the knees begging fate won't you please
rescue me from this life?
I'll gamble again but it sure is a sin
and death sure can't survive.
(Chorus)
Waiting for the wings of change.

A Kid In The Dark
Somewhere there's a kid in the dark
Trying to find their way out to the light
It's up to us to care and help
Life is always going to be a fight
Why hold all the knowledge within us?
when there's no hope for the world to carry on?
There's nowhere to go now but down
If there's no one to pick up the song
(Chorus)
You'll always be someone to those who matter
Always be a legend to your friends
When you don't get what you give
just give what you can get
You're better off than some fool who pretends
I like seeing fairness in the world
When those who are good are getting by
Seems these days it's a road to glory
paved by those who cheat and lie
I'm looking forward to a day somewhere
peace and good will drown out the pain
nobody taking care of just themselves
we'll just be back down that road again.
(chorus)
Somewhere there's a kid in the dark
Trying to find their way out to the light.
