A Man Like You

I’ve gone traveled so many places
My eyes have seen all kinds of faces
My heart’s been bent in all sorts of shapes but
It’s never loved a man like you
I felt that rain cold upon my skin
Burn like that dirty liquor whiskey, rye and gin
But you my darlin’ my favorite kind of sin
I’ll always love a man like you
I’ve never loved a man like you
All of these faces
These moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you
All of these faces, moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you, a man like….
A man like you
I’ll wear white
You’ll take my hand
Our friends will dance
To the rhythm of the band
And by your side I swear I will stand
Cuz I’ve never loved a man like you
Imagine us
Thirty years from now
A ranch and some children
In the fields we gon’ plow
Thus to the lord, I solemnly vow
I’ll always love a man like you
Cuz I never loved a man like you
All of these faces
These moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you
All of these faces, moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you, a man like….
A man like you
When I lay my head on that final resting day and the
Memories flash by, lights begin to sway
And I save my breath, I know what I will say
I’ve never loved a man like you
All of these faces
These moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you
All of these faces, moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you
All of these faces, moments
Don’t compare with
A man like you, a man like….
A man like you

Capsized

It’s a new day
A new life
Rain pours down on me
You wana knock me down but I’m a fighter
Strongest in history
Tropical storms light up the desert
Chaos rips and roars
Your cover is blow, yes ya, best be afraid
When the tides rise and the waves come to shores
Water, water pours from the sky
Gives us new life where it once was dry
Find yourself alone, not one alibi
Yeah you’re drowning
And your world’s capsized
Capsized, capsized, capsized, capsized….
I hold on tight, my hands grow numb
Don’t you know these are dangerous times
Count your blessings every night
Pray you can read their signs
Life’s a struggle we all live
What are you willing to do to stay alive
When that sun starts a-blazing, scorching the land
How are you going to survive?
Water, water pours from the sky
Gives us new life where it once was dry
Find yourself alone, not one alibi
Yeah you’re drowning
And your world’s capsized
Water, water pours from the sky
Gives us new life where it once was dry
Find yourself alone, not one alibi
Yeah you’re drowning
And your world’s capsized
Capsized, capsized, capsized
Capsized…
Water water pours where the well was dry (capsized)
Yeah we see through and all of your lies (Ohh Ohh)
Yeah I hope ya swim, yeah, ya better fly
‘Cuz were coming for you, coming for you
We’re coming thru….
Water, water pours from the sky
Gives us new life where it once was dry
Find yourself alone, not one alibi
Yeah you’re drowning
And your world’s capsized
Water, water pours from the sky
Gives us new life where it once was dry
Find yourself alone, not one alibi
Yeah you’re drowning
And your world’s capsized
Capsized, capsized, capsized…

Home

It’s been 3 years
Since I left my home
Packed all my bags
In search of my own
But I miss my ma
I miss my pa
I miss the world the didn’t feel so small
But I can’t look back
I won’t turn around
Not a day goes by that I don’t
Miss my home
Miss my home
Not a day goes by that I
Don’t miss my home
It’s in these streets
I learned how to live
They taught me the beat that my heart would keep up with
And I’d give and give….I’d give and give
But I miss my ma
I miss my pa
I miss the world the didn’t feel so small
But I can’t look back
I won’t turn around
Not a day goes by that I don’t
Miss my home
Miss my home
Not a day goes by that I
Don’t miss my home
Miss my home
Miss my home
Not a day goes by that I
I miss my home

Hard to Trust in Love
04:01
|

It’s hard to trust in love
So many times that wicked girl
Just stabbed you in the back
Made you blind
Made you weak
In the knees
Act like a child
Made you go home running
For now your mother’s arms you seek
It’s hard to trust in love
When she’s taken all your money
Left you standing there alone
Made you wonder
Made you weep
Oh so tired of loosing sleep
It’s hard to trust in love
I know it’s hard to trust in love
but you can’t leave her out there in the cold
Outside feeling rough
I know that you don’t want to let her in
But now your taking off her coat because you can’t win with
Love, love, love, love…
Love, love, love…
It’s hard to trust in love
Especially when she says time
Is gonna heal up all the cuts
Don’t even want to say her name
Let alone need her and go insane
It’s been hard to trust in love
But sometimes it’s nice
To trust in love
She’ll stroke your hair and give you strength
When you are feeling rough
Give you back some of that money
She’ll be lighter on the touch
Maybe I should trust in love…
Maybe you should trust in love…
Maybe we should trust in love….
When will I trust in love…love…
(Hard to trust)
When will I….
(Hard to trust in love)
Love…
(Hard to trust)
(Hard to trust in love)

Whiskey Dreams

You only buy me flowers
When you are sorry
Delicate red roses that declare
Your love for me
Oh how I cry
I been eaten alive
But I don’t ask for pity
Visions are clear
I do my best not to fear
My world alone, bed, my home, without you
You only say you love me
When you been drinkin’
Whiskey and soda in your glass
Man I’m sinkin’
I do not make a sound
As you order another round
Because… I like what I’m hearin’
It takes two to play the game as I pretend to feel the same
But it’s wrong, so wrong and you know it
Ohhh….
These are my whiskey dreams
Ohhh….
These are my whiskey dreams
You used to tell me someday
When we’d be married
All of the hurt and the pain
Would be carried
Oh so far away
I miss the things you used to say
But now… all I hear is the wind blow
So I pour myself a drink
Makes me numb so I don’t think
About you, just the road, and I’m gone….
Ohhh….
These are my whiskey dreams
Ohhh….
These are my whiskey dreams
Ohhh….
These are my whiskey dreams
Ohhh….
These are my whiskey dreams

Hearts Beat Faster
02:31
|
|||
|
We go
Up and down
Side to Side
Fast as we can
On this ride
No concept of time
We go
We are
Beautiful hearts in a dance
Finding each other by chance
Lovers now a trance
We are
Pushing the limit
Hand on your stick shift
If love is blind I don’t give a shit
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster….
We go
Deeper and deeper
Hands to throat
Fall in the water now we’re soaked
Gasping for air
Bodies float
We go
Pushing the limit
Hand on your stick shift
If love is blind I don’t give a shit
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster….
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster….
There’s no going back only faster
No going back only faster
No going back only faster, and faster, and faster
There’s no going back only faster
No going back only faster
No going back only faster, and faster, and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster….
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster
Hearts beat faster and faster….

Breathe

Broken hearts
Lead to broken lives
Captivating consequences
Eternally resonating in my mind
It don’t matter, no
How many times I wash these hands
Yes the truth will always be there
It lives within the air that I
Breathe
That I breathe
That I breathe
Oh yeah
The guilt stays with me
Through all these sullen days and sleepless nights
It’s always a bloody fight
The constant battle between my heart and mind
My knuckles been stripped down to the bear bones
But these thoughts are just dark as the soot in the city sky
That I…
Breathe
That I breathe
That I breathe
Oh yeah
That I breathe
That I breathe
That I breathe
Oh yeah
Lord forgive me for the choices I’ve made
I pray to you it’s not one big mistake
My enemies move swiftly thru the grass
Graceful snakes
Lord forgive me for the choices I’ve made
Lord forgive me for the choices I’ve made
I pray to you it’s not one big mistake (one big mistake)
My enemies move swiftly thru the grass
Graceful snakes
Lord forgive me
Lord forgive me
Clean the air that I…
The air that I…
Breathe
That I breathe
That I breathe
Oh yeah
That I breathe
That I breathe
That I breathe
Oh yeah

Child of the Sun

Play my guitar in an empty apartment
Three thousand miles from home
On this California coast is where I let my spirit roam
Light up a smoke grab a flask of jack
And write these words in a paperback
If I can get it all down before daylight
I’ll get some sleep tonight
The sound, sound, sound of my heart beats like a drum
I’ve found, found, found I am a
Child of the Sun
Morning breaks my eyes are open wide
Grab my sweater take a walk outside
Down to the ocean where my mother’s voice
Speaks calmly to me
I ask her to stand by side
Watch over me and be my guide
It’s a lonely road and I’m still searchin’
For a peace of mind
The sound, sound, sound of my heart beats like a drum
I’ve found, found, found I am a
Child of the Sun
Child of the sun
Child of the sun
Child of the sun
Do do do do…
Play my guitar in an empty apartment
Three thousand miles from home
On this California coast is where I let my spirit roam
The sound, sound, sound of my heart beats like a drum
I’ve found, found, found I am a
Child of the Sun

I Am Only Human
03:16

|
There were times I failed
Times I have won
Times I have struggled
Maybe even hurt someone
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
Sometimes I laugh
So hard I cry
Sometimes I hurt so hard
I just wana break down and die
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
Born from the earth
We came from the dirt
This is one life
One chance
Be good to each other
Take care your sisters and brothers
Try and understand one another
I’m only one person
One choice
But together we have voice
To choose love over hate
Show compassion, educate
Use less, don’t waste
Before it’s too late
Try hard to stay strong
Always choose right over wrong
I’m gonna try
We should try ‘cuz
I am Only Human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
I am only human
