Old Tin Moon
02:58
|
|||
|
Christmas lights were twinklin’ from the rafters in the barn
We hung moon made out of tin and danced beneath the stars
Somebody spiked the fruit punch with a jar of shine
The band was a little out of tune, but no one seemed to mind
CHORUS
That’s when I saw you
Under that old tin moon
Straight out of a movie scene
It sounded like a melody
When you asked if you could dance with me
Under that old tin moon
You took my hand and gave me a twirl, keepin’ time with the mandolin
Swept me up in that summer love like a warm breeze blowin’ in
It was fireflies, and old dirt roads and honeysuckle vines
I saw it there there, with just one stare, in to those country eyes
CHORUS
That’s when I kissed you
Under that old tin moon
Caught up in a magic spell
Tipsy on the way it felt
Told myself I’d never kiss and tell
Under that old tin moon
BRIDGE
We danced the night away
‘till the band ran out of songs to play and
FINAL CHORUS
It was just me and you
Under that old tin moon
Lookin’ back, I don’t regret
All the things we left unsaid
A perfect night I won’t forget
Under that old tin moon
It was just me and you
Under that old tin moon
Under that old tin moon

Our tiny two-bedroom house
Wasn’t much to talk about
Outside it’s walls, that’s where I felt most at home
Kudzu vines climbin' over trees
Blackberries growin' down the street
And that honeysuckle breeze made me wanna go
CHORUS
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
It’s in my heart and soul
I had rag-tag group of friends
Just a bunch of free-range kids
Our neighbor called us hooligans, but what did he know
We’d ride our bikes all around
Sun up ‘till the sun went down
I loved that little one-light town and all it's folks
CHORUS
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
It’s in my heart and soul
BRIDGE
I spread my wings at twenty-two
Traded country roads for a city view
'Cause I had things to prove out on my own
But the fast pace life wore me down
I’m longin’ for familiar ground
And I believe it’s time for me to go
CHORUS
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
It’s in my heart and soul
INSTRUMENTAL
CHORUS
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
Where the wild things grow
It’s in my heart and soul

I've pledged you my heart
Like a tithe to you, I've set it apart in good faith
Even though you ain’t always a saint
But my dream that one day
We'll get married's on layaway for a little bit
We’ve got too much emotional debt
CHORUS
I barter for your time
I do everything in-kind
Just hoping we will settle up and then settle down sometime
I’m feelin nickel-and-dimed
By all your lows and your highs
And I'm always the one jumpin’ through hoops
Guess that’s the price I pay for lovin' you
I’d give my last cent
If I could break through that fence you put around your heart
With all those emotional scars
If you’d open up the gate
Honey, I'm here. I won’t hesitate to come on in
I just want to help you mend
CHORUS
I barter for your time
I do everything in-kind
Just hoping we will settle up and then settle down sometime
I’m feelin nickel-and-dimed
By all your lows and your highs
And I'm always the one jumpin’ through hoops
Guess that’s the price I pay for lovin' you
BRIDGE
I've done everything I can to break through to you
After all these years, I don’t know what else to do
CHORUS
I barter for your time
I do everything in-kind
Just hoping we will settle up and then settle down sometime
I’m feelin nickel-and-dimed
By all your lows and your highs
And I'm always the one jumpin’ through hoops
Guess that’s the price I pay for lovin' you

Old Habits
03:01
|
|||
|
Up at dawn again
Drinkin’ coffee with a cigarette
Lookin’ through the Gazette to find the daily classifieds
Money’s gettin' low
And findin’ works been goin’ slow
I light another smoke just tryin' to ease my mind
CHORUS
Fallin’ back in to old habits
Before I take the time to think about it
Some things are just so automatic
Fallin' back in to old habits
Been alone so much
I broke down and I called you up
I swore we were done but I let you back in my life
Off and on again
Ain’t that the way it’s been
But I could really use a friend to get me through the night
CHORUS
Fallin’ back in to old habits
Before I take time to think about it
Some things are just so automatic
Fallin' back in to old habits
INTRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
I’m losin' faith
A little more each day
But I still close my eyes at night and pray
CHORUS
Fallin’ back in to old habits
Before I take the time to think about it
Some things are just so automatic
Fallin' back in to old habits
Some things are just so automatic
Fallin' back in to old habits
Lord, I’m fallin’ back in to old habits

Southern Comfort
03:10
|
|||
|
This north winds getting colder
Since you walked out the door
The warmth of our love’s faded
There’s nothing left here anymore
So I’m packing up this broken heart
And headin’ back again
Where the scent of old magnolias
Greets me like a long lost friend
CHORUS
Southern Comfort, don’t fail me
I need your help to wash down the memories
I need to feel your peace flowin' through my bones
Southern comfort heal my heart and take me home
I still remember
Those small town summer nights
Sippin’ whiskey in the bed of your truck
Down by the riverside
It’s been years since we've been there
But this time I’ll go alone
I’ll take a bottle of the good stuff
And drink it 'till these tears are gone
CHORUS
Southern Comfort, don’t fail me
I need your help to wash down the memories
I need to feel your peace flowin' through my bones
Southern comfort heal my heart and take me
BRIDGE
Back where I belong
Been away for so long
And when I cross that Mason-Dixon Line
You’ll just be one more memory I’ve left behind
CHORUS
Southern Comfort, don’t fail me
I need your help to wash down the memories
I need to feel your peace flowin' through my bones
Southern comfort heal my heart and take me home
Southern comfort heal my heart and take me home

Unglued
03:09
|
|||
|
I put myself together again
My broken heart was on the mend
Feelin' stronger every day
Those old scars seemed to fade away
Now every time I hear our song
I don’t rush to turn it off
Thought I was finally over you
But then you called me out of the blue
CHORUS
Darlin’, you’ve got me comin' unglued
Fallin’, back in to pieces over you
I know this ain't good for me
But I don’t know what to do
Darlin', you’ve got me comin’ unglued
You’re tellin' me that you messed up
You ain’t the same without my love
I guess you’ve got something to prove
You wanna right the wrong and mend the wounds
CHORUS
Darlin’, you’ve got me comin' unglued
Fallin’, back in to pieces over you
I know this ain't good for me
But I don’t know what to do
Darlin', you’ve got me comin’ unglued
INSRUMENTAL
BRIDGE
Should I risk it all on a second chance
The same old tune or a different dance
Guess I’ll find out as soon as I choose
CHORUS
Darlin’, you’ve got me comin' unglued
Fallin’, back in to pieces over you
I know this ain't good for me
But I don’t know what to do
Darlin', you’ve got me comin’ unglued
You’ve got me coming unglued

One More Of Those Days
04:12
|
|||
|
I watch a mama guide her boys through the store
Tiny hands roam wild
Down the checkout aisle
Her eyes are weary. She’s loaded down with all her things
But she plays I-spy
To keep them occupied
CHORUS
I remember my girls when they were that age
I’m missin' their sweet voices and the funny things they’d say
I didn’t always see the beauty in the mundane
There were times I longed for freedom and wished those years away
But I’d give anything for one more of those days
I see a couple run for shelter from the rain
Laughing at themselves
Like there’s no one else
And they find cover at a coffee shop on Main
He holds her awhile
And she can’t hide her smile
CHORUS
I remember you when we were that age
Oh, the way it felt when you held me that way
Like a worn out weddin' ring, the luster tends to fade
Time just rattles on and you can’t turn back the page
But I’d give anything for one more of those days
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE THREE
As soon as I get home, I lay down on the bed
A stack of photographs
Spread across my lap
And like a river, all those memories flood my mind
They’re frozen in time
But every one of them shines
CHORUS
I remember all of it like it happened yesterday
We were livin’ bill to bill, but we never lost our faith
I can hear our girls laughter and feel the love you gave
No, we didn’t have much but it was better that way
And I’d give anything for one more of those days
One more of those days

Time To Let Go
04:23
|
|||
|
Just crossed the border of the Georgia line
Headin’ back to Nashville with you still on my mind
Should I turn around? I’m prayin for a sign
My wheels are spinnin’ faster, 'cause I know deep down inside
CHORUS
It’s time to let go
Baby, we don't know what our future holds
But we gotta find a way on our own
If we’re holdin’ to the past, we’ll never grow
So come on, baby, come on baby, it’s time to let go
There's more than miles between me and you
And the place I once called home is just a place I knew
Now the haunt of our love, it's a memory of my youth
If home is where the heart is, then I can’t return to you
CHORUS
It’s time to let go
Baby, we don't know what our future holds
But we gotta find a way on our own
If we’re holdin’ to the past, we’ll never grow
So come on, baby, come on baby, it’s time to let go
BRIDGE
Don't call me when you’re feelin’ lonely
I can’t bear to see you anymore
You say you want me but baby I think you only
Want the girl I was before
CHORUS
It’s time to let go
Baby, we don't know what our future holds
But we gotta find a way on our own
If we’re holdin’ to the past, we’ll never grow
So come on, baby, come on baby, it’s time to let go
Come on, baby, come on baby, it’s time to let go
You know, you know, you know, you know it’s time to let go
So just let go
Just let go
I’m letting go
It’s time to let go

Sometimes life gets you down
And there’s no looking up
Giving all that you’ve got
Never feels like enough
And you get passed over again and again
On the outside looking in
You may start to believe
Happiness is a hoax
Somethin’ others seem to have
That you’ll never know
I swear you won’t always feel lost in the wind
On the outside lookin’ in
CHORUS
When you’re alone
And when you're feeling down
Lift up your prayers
And drop your knees to the ground
Tell Him all of your troubles
‘cause He’s been where you’ve been
On the outside lookin’ in
Darlin' people will fool you
They’ll make you believe
In the lies that they’re livin'
It might look like a dream
But even broken looks pretty through a camera lens
On the outside looking in
CHORUS
When you’re alone
And when you're feeling down
Lift up your prayers
And drop your knees to the ground
Tell Him all of your troubles
'Cause He’s been where you’ve been
On the outside lookin’ in
Tell Him all of your troubles
'Cause He’s been where you’ve been
On the outside lookin’ in
On the outside lookin’ in

That butterfly ring was the prettiest thing
I thought it suited me fine
I took it off the stand in my little hand
As soon as your back was turned to mine
It didn't take you long to notice
You didn't let me off the hook
You made me confess to that woman at the dress store
While giving me a sympathetic look
CHORUS
You showed me grace
When I broke your trust
Your words were always gentle
Never rough
Who I am ain’t who I’d be without your love
Mama, I can’t thank you enough
I was eighteen and the boy I was seein’
Had me sneakin' out every chance I could
One night I ran my car through strangers yard
Left a hole where his mailbox stood
First love made me reckless
I was just a naive fool
I’m sure you knew that he’d break my heart in two
But you didn’t tell me what to do
CHORUS
You showed me grace
When I broke your trust
Your words were always gentle
Never rough
Who I am ain’t who I’d be without your love
Mama, I can’t thank you enough
BRIDGE
I have two kids now
I’ve seen the ups and downs
It ain’t an easy job..so
CHORUS
I try to show ‘um grace
when they brake my trust
my words are always gentle
never rough
Who I am ain’t who I’d be without your love
Mama, I can’t thank you enough
Mama, I can’t thank you enough

Lowcountry Hymn
02:45

The air's thick as molasses at the mouth of the old Santee
There's a smell of earth and spice where the river meets the sea
The tide comes and goes through the marsh as it please
And it feels just like heaven to me
The cadence of cicadas sounds like tiny tambourins
And the steady ocean wind strums the tall marsh reeds
The red-winged blackbirds, they’re singin' ok-al-lee
And it feels just like heaven to me
CHORUS
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I hear upon the breeze
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
It feels just like heaven to me
INSTRUMENTAL
Spanish moss sways from the branches of the ancient live oak trees
And it looks just like a chapel that nature made for me
I sit there and I worship and I watch God move the leaves
And if feels just like heaven to me
CHORUS
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I hear upon the breeze
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
It feels just like heaven to me
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I hear upon the breeze
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
It feels just like heaven
It feels just like heaven
It feels just like heaven to me
