Heaven's On The Way
03:27

Heaven’s on the way and we’re flying down
This new road together just you and me
With love and happiness that follows in every single town
Heaven’s on the way and the good times here to stay
The life we knew before was alright for a time
Who’d have known this was coming down the line
With that wind blowin’ through your hair and me smiling like a kid
Heaven’s on the way and we won that winning bid
There’s no telling where we’re headed
or if we’ll find us some trouble
We’ll live out our dreams here on the road
We’re not worried ‘bout tomorrow
or what’s coming ‘round the bend
so we’ll map it out together
and raise hell along the way
cause heaven’s on the way but we’ve got better things to do
than take a break from loving to stop and look around
We left sorrow far behind for that love we have in store
And the good lord knows what we’re living for
Keep a close eye over me and I’ll be looking after you
Heaven’s on the way best believe it’s really true

Black & Blue
03:10
|

Not long ago you made promises you couldn’t keep
You had me believing that all I was needing was you
I was willing to go down any road I had to go
is there a difference between me and you or black & blue
Good looking lady I don’t think that you really see
The choices you’re making and how you’re tormenting me
I up and left then you walked right back in again
Is there a difference between me and you or black & blue
Someday I’ll pull myself together
On my way to some other town
Find a place where there’s lots of sunny weather
and if tomorrow you’ve worn out all your luck then look me up
Because lately I haven’t been able to get any sleep
Seems like all I can do is walk that old floor over you
We both have our reasons for living the way that we do
Is there a difference between me and you or black & blue

It's Not So Easy Today
03:18
|
|
||
There’s a cold wind hitting my window tonight
Wish I had a fire to light
Summer’s gone and fall is coming around
Feel like I’m six feet in the ground
Yesterday love was easy to lose
Like a worn out pair of shoes
now I’ve had time to see it my way
It’s not so easy today
I spent the last few weeks here living it up
To get my head out of the past
I swore you off you said you’d had enough
The whole thing went to hell too fast

I don’t think about you like I used to
I sold the kitchen table, and the big brass bed
And when I hear them say your name in passing
I’m reminded empty space cannot replace
Those tender words we shared
It wasn’t long ago I held you in my arms
It wasn’t long ago you changed my world
You’re in somebody’s arms tonight and I’ll be thinking
I’ll be alright, yes I’ll be fine when I’ve no more tears to cry
I don’t dream about you like I used to
Still I wake up reaching for your hand
And in that moment old memories remind me
The pain of realizing that you’re gone
is simply more than I can stand

All American Singer
03:57
|
|||
They're rolling out big plans today
Passing laws that change what you can say
And at home we're fighting in the streets
over politics and the way things used to be
It’s not about who’s right or wrong
cause they’ll defend their right to being free
I'm not building walls by singing songs
so I’m proud to be an all American singer
Some people talk of tolerance
yet they won’t tolerate a different stance
No they’re not fine with staying blind to
injustices they see every day
when it comes to crime and equal pay
I think it’s time we find a better way
and I’ll stand up for democracy
hey I’m proud to be an all American singer
I’m gonna get down off the soapbox
and get back behind a guitar with the band
stop singing songs that draw hard lines
that set the stage for chaos and divide
I’m not here to say you’re wrong
but we can come together through a song
they take pride in taking sides
well I’m proud to be an all American singer
I hear talking on the radio
of war on thought and conspiracy
And some people judge their fellow man
by their party or the color of their skin
If I see you down the road my friend
It don’t matter the race or class you’re living in
we all find solace in a song
so I’m proud to be an all American singer

Listening To The Music
03:14
|
|
||
Listening to radio alone in my room
thinking back on yesterday
an old time country song comes on
and I forget my troubles
Listening to the music once again
One time back in ‘89
on a Sunday in early autumn
it hit me with that old time hymn
sent a shiver down my spine
and then I felt the great divine
Listening to the music once again
Let the singer sing the song
And the guitar play the chord
And I’m right where I belong
In the glory of the song
Living in times of war
with evils that plague the earth
it’s hard to find anything of worth
and in my moment of despair
I find something there
Listening to the music once again

Living Too Long
03:32
|
|
||
I feel like I’ve been living too long
good old days are dead and gone
My good time buddies have all left town
The bars we used to hit ain’t around
Monday Tuesday it’s all the same
Same old faces with different names
the jukebox playing that same old song
I feel like I’ve been living too long
They say the best is yet to come
But I can’t help thinking this race is run
I’m beginning to see where I went wrong
Been in this game just a little too long
I feel like I’ve been living too long
good old days are dead and gone
The jukebox playing that same old song
I feel like I’ve been living too long
Another smoke and another drink
That’s about the time that I start to think
That I’ll just keep right keeping on
Though I feel like I’ve been living too long
I feel like I’ve been living too long
good old days are dead and gone
My good time buddies have all left town
The bars we used to hit ain’t around
And the days all seem the same
Same old faces with different names
Jukebox playing that same old song
I feel like I’ve been living too long

We planned to have it all
love and happiness
Winter spring and fall
and summers full of bliss
Someday we’d buy the house
maybe have a couple kids
We planned to have it all we didn’t plan for this at all
There’s a picture in my mind
of how life could have been
If we didn’t build those walls
when the storms of life came in
and I could use a friend
To help me sort it out
We planned to have it all we didn’t plan for this at all

Riding That Train
03:16
|
|

I’m riding that train to the city
I’m gonna have me a real big time
There’s plenty of things, for this boy to see
Find a pretty girl who’s dressed up fine
And there’s a whole lot of pride
in this smile I can’t hide
And there’s no place in the world
where the lights shine as bright
I’m riding that train to the city
I’m gonna find me one good time tonight
I’ve got bills to pay ain’t no joke man
And here the rent goes up every year
I was up late last night cause my neighbors had a fight
Thank god the coffee here they do it up right
Some days I wonder what the hell I’m doing in this town
Sometimes I just can’t tell up from down
Hey I’m riding that train to the city
I’m gonna have me a good time tonight
Well time’s running out for guys like me they say
Best start acting my age today
Friends are leaving town for that suburban quiet down
It’s true my youth is quickly slipping away
But I feel alive tonight and come tomorrow I could be gone
So I’ll grab my old guitar and sing another country song
I’m riding that train to the city
I’m gonna find one more good time tonight
I hear that train underground I’m big city bound
I’m gonna have me one good time tonight

Emily

Emily is there anything I can say
to change your mind
maybe you’ll take these words of mine
to your heart today
Emily is there anything I could do
to get to you
is this trouble that I find
here to stay
I’m just a man who’s ordinary
just a man who needs a woman to love
and like a foolish child
I’m working up some story to make you smile
Emily is there something I don’t see that you do
Or am I half crazy, for wanting you
What have you got planned tomorrow
Is there some place you wanna be
Doesn’t the world have plenty of sorrow
You don’t have to go and distance me
Emily is there anything I can say
To change your mind
Cause this feeling I define
Is here to stay

You make it easy to love again
You’re what I’m living for today
You make it easy to love again and again
Happiness is here to stay
They say the game of love comes to an end
Yet we know this love is real and not pretend
Everyone we know can see it’s true
That we’ve got a million reasons to see this through
You make it easy to love again
You’re what I’m living for today
You make it easy to love again and again
Happiness is here to stay
They say the flame of love burns for a time
Though we’ve never been this certain or in line
We tried our luck with other love before
Now it’s easier to love life more and more

Thirty is turning to forty
Another year has come and gone
I made plans to do big things
I resolved to finally right the wrongs
I had dreams of a good life
Maybe even find me a wife
Trouble with me though I’m single and free
Is time won’t take its time with me
I got on that A train this morning
Probably take the bus home late
I’ve been wasting away at this old job
Just to get a little food on my plate
One last stop to the liquor store
Before I tuck my blues in tonight
Trouble my friend is I’m at a dead end
And time won’t take its time with me
Sure is an awful kind of feeling
When your bank account is always low
I don’t plan to start out stealing
So I’ll earn a few lines in my brow
I ain’t getting any younger
And I’m seeing family less and less
Trouble in mind and the world is unkind
And time won’t take its time with me
