[Intro] Anytime? Here we go [Verse 1] The past comes upon you like smoke on the air You can smell it and find yourself gone To a place that you lived without worry or care Isn't that where we all once came from? Green leaves and tall trees and stars overhead And the sound of the world through the screen Now you sleep with the covers pulled over...Learn More

[Verse 1] I was standing on the sidewalk in 1945 In Jacksonville, Illinois When asked what my name was there came no reply They said I was a deaf and sightless half-wit boy But Louis was my name, though I could not say it I was born and raised in New Orleans My spirit was wild, so I let the river take it On a barge and a prayer upstream Well, they...Learn More

[Verse 1] I remember driving down the rutted roads late at night Following the summer moon bright as any pair of headlights I felt the air on my face And the night pressed inside my palm A moment captured in a place This memory stays strong [Chorus] Oh my darling oh my love Oh my darling oh my love Oh my darling oh my love The things that we are...Learn More

[Verse 1] Noises in my head And endless "should haves" rain on me Like a storm, like a hurricane Losses piled up like wood stacks stories high Feels like I've been framed, I have no alibi Used to be that all I needed Was what I didn't possess Yearning makes you who you end up as, more or less Every choice I made that worked out Was just a lucky...Learn More

[Verse 1] When we were young, we pledged allegiance Every morning of our lives The classroom rang with children's voices Under teacher's watchful eye We learned about the world around us At our desks and at dinnertime Reminded of the starving children We cleaned our plates with guilty minds [Chorus] And the stones in the road They shone like...Learn More

[Verse 1] Try to conjure up a night Of jessamine upon the air I'm seventeen and in a car Ready to ride anywhere This summer night sticks to my skin And the beer's gone to my head My arm hangs out the window And I can't hear what you just said [Chorus] Over the radio Wild, wild horses Everything you'll ever know Is in the choruses [Verse...Learn More

[Verse 1] You've been sayin' for the longest time That the time has come You've been talking like you're of a mind To get some changing done Maybe move out of the city Find some quiet little town Where you can sit out on your back porch step And watch the sun go down [Pre-Chorus] No one knows where they belong The search just goes on and on and...Learn More

[Verse 1] Here I am walking, far from familiar streets Looking for someone who might resemble me Whispering something, it sounds like a traveler's prayer Saying luck play your hand, I am a stranger here Time be a friend, show me which way to steer Love show your face, with the grace of a traveler's prayer [Verse 2] Maybe it's tucked in a journal...Learn More

[Verse 1] I took a walk in the rain one day On the wrong side of the tracks I stood on the rails till I saw that train Just to see how my heart would react Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate And for them I cannot disagree But I never learned nothing from playing it safe I say fate should not tempt me [Chorus] I take my chances I...Learn More

[Verse 1] There's a big white house on a leafy street On a summer's day of 1963 The station wagon's parked in the drive Dents in the fender and wood on the side There's kids and dogs and instamatic cubes squinting hard in the sun Not just yet, but one day too They'll be chasing what's already gone Mmmmm [Verse 2] You grow up tall and you grow up...Learn More

[Verse 1] She makes his coffee, she makes his bed She does the laundry, she keeps him fed When she was twenty-one she wore her mother's lace She said "forever" with a smile upon her face She does the carpool, she PTAs Doctors and dentists, she drives all day When she was twenty-nine she delivered number three And every Christmas card showed a...Learn More

[Verse 1] Show a little inspiration, show a little spark Show that things that drew me to you and stole my heart And tell me something I don't know instead of everything I do And look at me as if I mean something to you [Pre-Chorus] Our hearts are beating while we sleep But while we’re wide awake [Chorus] You know the world won't stop Actions...Learn More
