Keep On Looking

Keep On Looking
You never listen to me
Never make me laugh
I keep showing future lovers
your pretty photograph
But we just ain't got it
maybe you wouldn't mind
hitting the back door, baby
see what I can find?
Chorus:
We just got to keep on looking
keep on looking
keep on looking
keep on looking
we just got to keep on looking
and get some true love out of life
Your friends don't like me
fill your head with clues
some other guy wants you
they say that's the blues
but I've got no problems
letting you go
you never make me happy
or let your good love show
(Chorus)

You're Never Gonna Know

You're Never Gonna Know
Because I told you how I feel
and the way you chose to deal
From now on when my heart's lost it's glow
you're never gonna know
When all the world is down on me
and you're already in a misery
I'll force my insides not to show
and you're never gonna know
(Bridge)
Because for you that's what I do
it ain't about me it's about you
I'll try my best to hide my pain
Without dragging you down again
And when you go out with your friends
I'll drink this bottle til it ends
You be the high while I'll be the low
and you're never gonna know
(Bridge)
Because I told you how I feel
and the way you chose to deal
From now on when my heart's lost it's glow
you're never gonna know

A Mansion On The Hill

A Mansion On The Hill
Didn't feel right for a long long time
didn't want to carry on
Now I'm here and my spirit begins
deep inside I feel a song
There's nothing wrong deep down no more
just some blues I left behind
(Chorus)
And I go to town to get a mansion on the hill
I work (with some friends/work everyday) to get a mansion on the hill
soon the will will be mine
to see what I caught on my line
I just hope it's a mansion on the hill
Don't remember where I came from
or care to see the dark
planning my reunion with my ancient buried spark
everywhere I go I see pain in the strangers eyes
(Bridge)
Seems these hills are dirty
but they're covered in gold
the scarlet rivers run right through
with the stories that they're told
blood and work of men who've seen the order of the day
(Chorus)

Maybe You're Blind
I'm worth your time don't you lose no sleep over me
I won't hurt you or help you lose your faith in me
all of the rainbows you can find
were made for you made for me
maybe you're blind
I've changed your blinds and now I've changed your scene
You keep on kidding there's somebody else in your dreams
If you think that I'm not the one
It don't hurt me I don't mind
Maybe you're blind
(Bridge)
Don't be honest you need your friends
and the drama just never ends, oh yeah
I've done your taxes and I've cleaned your room
you change your mind just because I'm not your groom
you think I'll run but I'm right behind
I'm made for me made for you
maybe you're blind

Outlaws And Country Cowboys
Just being out there in the world is hard on the soul
I'm feeling the waves of confusion
Feeling the days of old
When a good criminal had his guns
pushed against his own heart
so I look at the lonely and that's how
I'm gonna start
I wanna roll this old highway behind me and stroll
amongst the stars
let the wind blow me no promises
I just want the honky tonks and bars
To put me in an early grave
just like the heroes who saved us all
Outlaws and Country cowboys heading for a fall
(Chorus)
Heading for a fall
Heading for a fall
Outlaws and country cowboys
heading for a fall
Never mind these roses and sugar sweet and light
I want the darkness to be just about night
and a dusk in August
with a young girl by my side
and a honky tonk angel crying where I left her behind.
(Chorus)

The Fields That I Don't Know
In the middle of nowhere there's nowhere left to go
I let my poor mind wander along these fields that I don't know
And I wonder about my baby
where she lays her head
On a warm and lonesome pillow
on her prairie feather bed
(Chorus)
Wondering how long
will it be
will it be
before the day we marry and make a good man out of me?
And make some friends from strangers
making strangers from foes
and sip some wine with the lucky
in the fields that I don't know
in the fields that I don't know
I wake up too early and hit the highway with the dawn
looking for my baby in every cloud that's coming on
All I see are shadows of the reflections of her face
The storms coming and passing
and I curse the tracks I trace
(Chorus)
No matter what I've done
I can't shoot the setting sun
I can't stop the wheels but I can change the way I run
I'm one day from my baby
And I miss the morning train
I miss my homecoming because I missed the passing lane
(Chorus)

The Quietest Man In The Wild
There's a man out near the borderline
with his head in the stars
with all of his memories of the topless bars
Walking down the snowy road
thumb in the wind
hitch a ride to the fierce city
where his sweet old lover lived
(Chorus)
See that lost man finding roads
that are always winding by/high?
He's the quietest man in the wild
He don't know no right from wrong
as long as he belongs
He's the quietest man in the wild
I can't be too sure
How it must feel
Sure can't trust no one
That's his deal
He's been told his secrets and lied to save his life
He's made friends with every man
who then stole his wife
(Chorus)

The Hurting Side Of Me
Some boys dream of damsels on the highway
someone they can rescue and take home
lovers pass the time searching for better
hiding down that highway lined with chrome
breaking hearts like this takes getting used to
I don't know why you're loving everyone
you can't make up your mind
you seem to be doing fine
but you're sending me beyond the setting sun
(Chorus)
Pretty ribbons in your hair
won't change you've been untrue
Smiles are all just alibis
they've all gone somewhere new
No one understands the price I'm paying
or what I'm going through
you're now on the hurting side of me
I'm tired of compromising until I'm broken
It's funny how these broken rules don't bend
You can tell me what you mean to me
but it seems to me I'm just a heart to lend
I've got a finger sitting on a trigger
and a bottle swinging around that just ran dry
I used to love the good old life I was living
Til I found out my life was just a lie.
(Chorus)
Some boys dream of damsels on the highway
someone they can rescue and take home

Worn Out Ladies
Worn out ladies
Seems they're always sad and blue
Worn out ladies
Doesn't matter what you do
Well you need a bribe
or an ocean of flowers or jewels
Don't tell them a lie
Telling them their love is untrue
Worn out ladies
Can't seem to keep a man
Worn out ladies
are worn out you understand
Broken down
miserable on a sunny day
crying all the time
The wise just stay away
from worn out ladies
(Bridge)
Worn out ladies
I'm going to find my way someday
Worn out ladies
To say all the right words I should say
To soothe your pour soul and heart and win your heart again
to dance you back to life and make you love your man
Worn out ladies
You can't catch them if you can
Worn out ladies
They need a simple gentle man
One who works and cooks and cleans up his mess
Wedding ears and backrubs
likes the way you dress
Worn out ladies
worn out ladies

Fly Fly Away

Fly Fly Away
She's a heartstopper
I saw her tonight on the busy street
nobody else could compete
and soon I made my way
to where we'd quickly meet
and watch each other
fly fly away
It's seemed I've known her all along
and I have to be strong
and I hide my love for you now
although there can be nothing wrong
with fly fly away
(Bridge)
If she stops my heart I'll be fine
if my heart breaks when she's mine
I'll have to keep my distance
kill my fears with wine
and fly fly away
She may do damage someday
but my heart is in her hands
I never felt this strong before
It wasn't in the plans
To be lost before a woman
and all the ways she says
let's fly fly away

Since I've Been With Your Wife
I feel your pain all the time
my joy is hardest to feel
you don't know where she is tonight
and my heart's as hard as steel
Days go by and nights I lie
with her by my side
so long I hide
it's sad to know how much you've cried
since I've been with your wife
since I've been with your wife
It must be hard to ride it out
and it ain't no easy way
I stayed out of your sight
without being right here in your face
In your place she's got me now
without a doubt I've sure been down
don't think I'm the kind to run around blind
since I've been with your wife
since I've been with your wife
The Devil's done his deed it's true
There ain't nothing can be changed
you're a good soul we've both been blue
since this divorce has been arranged
it ain't how we hoped it would shake out
lives are broken without a doubt
we've all lost sleep and days ain't bright
since I been with your wife
since I been with your wife

Candlelight Girl
This is the time to hug your summer girl
This is the time to sing her a love song
This is the time to dance under those stars
when the sun goes down on your candlelight girl
This is a time to make amends with strangers
This is a time to know your brother better
This is the time for the cosmic arranger
To set your heart on your candlelight girl
(Bridge)
She'll make you understand
life is not a name
it's not a label it's not a game
part of the plan
to let the prison bars go
and dance with your new candlelight girl
This is the time to remember the day you met her
This is the time to give it that same shot
Make her eyes laugh
make her heart cry
make some time for your candlelight girl
when the sun goes down on your candlelight girl
