Highway Girl

She's a highway girl
Yea, you know the kind
She don't know what lies ahead
But she knows whatever it is she won't find it here
She's a highway girl
She runs on highway time
She's got a sparkle in her eye
The kind you could never guess why she'd want to hide
She's bound to the small town she calls her own
But she'll be highway bound towards Reno before dawn
And she's bound to find a reason to come home
Yea, she's hurt
But she don't want
Your careful sympathy
Though, she'd never mind being held in someones arms
Yea, she leaving
Best believe it
You've seen it a hundred times
So you know to save a place for her in your heart
She's bound to the small town she calls her own
But she'll be highway bound towards Reno before dawn
And she's bound to find a reason to come home
She's bound to the small town she calls her own
But she'll be highway bound towards Reno before dawn
And she's bound to find a reason to come home
A reason to come home

Right Outside The Gates

Never have so much fun that you throw away your health
But never be so careful that you can't enjoy yourself
Learn to come to terms with the tides rolling in
So when it floods you can still remain wealthy
Teach a man to fish and he'll feed his whole family
Grant a man a wish and he'll feed all of humanity
Teach a man a song, he'll sing it to his kids
If he's lucky they'll be singing it for longer than he can
And when the clouds hang low, try and sing the blues away
Love brought us to this world so let's leave it that way
You don't have to carry on 'cuz at the end of the day
If they don't let us into heaven we'll party right outside the gates
Don't be afraid when the wind comes and sweeps
Everything you love into the breeze
Change is the air that our lungs use to keep
Our head on our shoulders while we find our new feet
And when the clouds hang low, try and sing the blues away
Love brought us to this world so let's leave it that way
You don't have to carry on 'cuz at the end of the day
If they don't let us into heaven we'll party right outside the gates
When you see a lemonade stand stop and grab a glass
Cuz we all once were that kid with a dream yet alas
We seem to forget we're less different than they say
But we're not too far gone, there's gotta be a way
When the clouds hang low, try and sing the blues away
Love brought us to this world so let's leave it that way
You don't have to carry on 'cuz at the end of the day
If they don't let us into heaven we'll party right outside the gates

Time Catches Up With You
03:23
|

Like a little boy wearing his father's clothes
Sleeves dragging on the ground
Yet everyone around says the clothes fit just right
Like a little girl wearing her mother's dress
Straps slipping off her shoulders
Yet everyone has told her it's her Sundays best
Yea you can spend your time you can make some time
You can take your time getting there on time
But time don't care who you are or what you do
Time catches up with you
Tom and Georgia, they met years ago
Their love felt like a game
And they both wanted to play so they learned the rules and ran away
Now while their children play they sip coffee
And skim through the morning news
While trying to look amused for the sake of one another
Yea you can spend your time you can make some time
You can take your time getting there on time
But time don't care who you are or what you do
Time catches up with you
Getting old is what happens
While you try to keep from growing up
While you try to rectify what you've done and what you wanna do
Time catches up with you
Time catches up with you

Why Oh Why
04:31
|

|
Why does one person love the other so much more
Why do we find ourselves these never ending wars
Why on one fateful day do we realize there aint much to say
Except why, why oh why, why oh why
Why do people that we love have to die
Why are birds and bugs the only ones who get to fly
Why does the weeping midnight wind sound of million year old men
Crying why, why oh why, why oh why
Why oh why
Why is it so hard to say goodbye
Why is it so easy to let our feelings hide
Until everyone has gone away and you catch yourself about to say
Why, why oh why, why oh why
Why are we born into this world to run out of time
And learn to love the things that we'll leave behind
Yea, we've gotta find a way to make it worth our stay by asking why, why oh why, why oh why
Yea, we've gotta find a way to make it worth our stay by asking why, why oh why, why oh why

You And I

Baby, you and I belong
Crazy, how you and I get along
I've been spending too much time
One simple lines
Like how are you
When I know
Baby, you and I belong
Crazy, how you and I get along
I've been spending too much time
One simple lines
Like how are you
When I know
But when the time is right
With a knowing smile
I'll admit that I was wrong
Baby, you and I belong
Crazy, how you and I get along

Sorry Silver Eyes
04:03
|

|
You've got nothing to worry about when I'm gone
'Cuz your sorry silver eyes won't let me leave for too long
Even your most pushful whisper could take me off the road
Like a midnight locomotive bringing me on home
Sorry silver eyes
I didn't mean to leave you out in the snow
Sorry silver eyes
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
But it's time for me to go
I made sure to pack light
I may very well have to hide
There are fifteen men who wanna end my life between here and the skyline
You know that I won't let 'em, and you know that I'll be fine
I would've waited till the sun came up to leave, but I couldn't stand to see you cry
Sorry silver eyes
I didn't mean to leave you out in the snow
Sorry silver eyes
I didn't mean to leave you all alone
But it's time for me to go
And face this on my own
The sooner I hit the road, the sooner I'll be home

Here's To Hoping
03:10

Hope you forget these hard times, but not what they're worth
Hope you forget these hopeless nights, but not how bad they hurt
Hope you forget the tears you've cried, but not what you've learned
Hope you meet the future with a mind that's cried but a smile unconcerned
Here's to hoping
Hope you remember the reasons that you started down this path
Hope you can remember the good times without begging for them back
Hope you fall for life itself, and not for it's traps
Hope you learn to focus on all you have and not on all you lack
Here's to hoping
Here's to hoping you let yourself loose long enough to learn how to win
Though you might wanna pack up and head home much sooner than that
Here's to hoping the people you meet become the ones you can't live without
Here's to hoping the world that you see looks like the world you dream about

Something You Can't Hold
02:54
|

Once the band is packed and rolling
And the crowds has all gone home
You can listen to the wind
And hear the songs they sung
Without purpose or a reason, just a truth ought to be told
That's the beauty of something you can't hold
There is land no one has travelled
There are views no eyes have known
Where the mountains sit like Buddha
Under the trees they've grown
Oh all the things those mountains learn from watching life come and go
That's the beauty of something you can't hold
Once we're buried 'neath the dirt
And our children are alone
They can look around and listen
To the stories that we told
They say the best time to plant a tree is now though you can't watch it grow old
That's the beauty of something you can't hold
