There’s a time for mending fences, A time to lay low
You swing your hammer and work for the day.
When everything slows down and the skies are blue
And you can sit back and watch your kids play
There’s no guarantees, nothing set in stone
No promises but the promises you make
And the dirt you turn where someday you’ll lay.
CHORUS
Momma said that you sold all the horses.
You told me to never sell it short
Love when you can, fight when you have to
Throwin’ in the towel ain’t like you
Which way to the exit, the back door or the front?
You don’t always get to pick the way
With your head held high or in the blink of an eye
With weight on your tongue or nothing to say
Watching Shane ride away in the dust
You wish you could go out that way
But that’s not the picture today
CHORUS ---
It’s not the passing light that breaks my heart,
It’s how the fire came to a start
I’m not afraid of dying but I’m scared of being scared
and looks like that’s just how it’s gotta be.
It looks like that’s just how it’s gotta be
CHORUS----

What's A Guy Gotta Do
04:15
|

My right side’s on the track and my left side’s in the sky
Let’s see if we can’t hold this turn
Somebody’s heart’s breakin’ in time with someone’s smile
Let’s see if we can’t hold this burn
Last night and the good times are burning hot and bright
Like a light at its last
Like a song that ends too soon, hearts are meant to break
That’s the beauty of moving fast
CHORUS
What’s a guy gotta do? 3x’s
Just to be with you
I lived a hundred years last night I thought it was the end
We danced the world and then we drove some more
But I’m built like a tank, man. The doc, he slapped my back
Said “Boy, you ain’t done in this world.”
CHORUS --
You went on ahead and I’m tired of waitin’ around
My heart don’t know when to quit
I’m gonna find you out in the stars tonight
‘Cause I’m done with this, I’m done with this
CHORUS --

Falling Is Mine
04:53
|

Fire’s your fear and falling’s mine
But you don’t have to worry dear
I aint gonna fall this time
My guts are aching it’s been a bad week
But there aint nothing wrong with me
That I can’t fix this time
How’d you hit the edge man?
Did someone blow your big plan?
Or could you just not wait to see?
Now every time I cross under
I just look up and wonder
How surrender feels.
CHORUS
We all got a cross to bear bones to grind
But don’t you worry girl, no one’s grinding mine
Fire’s your fear and falling’s mine
But don’t you worry dear
I don’t want to die
There’s something ‘bout these times
That are weighing hard on my mind
But I won’t forget what it means to live
I can’t tell you what’s coming
But it don’t really matter love
I won’t take for granted what you give
There’s a sea of surrender
To fall in and remember
To kill the demons that keep you pinned
Everyday now
I’m getting closer to learning how
To jump without it being the end
The end
CHORUS---
I breathe in air like knives and glass
My head feels like a warm breeze that I found at last
On my side I see your face
On my side I see your face
I watch you sleep I love this place
I love this place
CHORUS --

I Know
05:19
|

Nothing like throwing a rod, pushing a hole right through the hood
My engine’s leaking like a gut shot man
Do remember when we first kissed we tore out through the woods
I drove like Hell while you screamed and held my hand
I was kicking gravel as you laughed out loud
and pressed you mouth up to mine
That kiss was worth the busted oil pan
But I heard your lies that kiss must be lost on you
It’s not as easy to fix a broken man
CHORUS
I know what’s going on
No one’s going to come save us now
I know what’s going on
I’m drowning with out a sound
‘Cause I know you’ve been messing ‘round
And I just gotta blow this town
But I can’t say good-bye
There’s not enough road to burn outta here
And I tried to burn up all I can
You better watch out or I’ll run you down dear
How could you give your heart to another man
CHORUS----
I love when you laugh, I love when you cry,
I love that you don’t trust in God
I love your twisted heart, I love your twisted start
How come this has to be so Goddamned hard
Does he love those things? Does he know that you sing?
Does he know that you’re lying to me?
Does he know that you’re going to break his heart
if I don’t find him first and put him under my wheels?
CHORUS-----

Stronger Than You
02:30
|
|||
I see better than I used to
But my eyes, they aren’t the same
I could lift a boxcar for her
But my back’s seen better days
I’ve got a love that’s stronger than the land
And it’s OK if you don’t understand
I found out I could kill
I could do it in a blink
Before you step to my girl
You better stop and think
‘Cause I’ve got a love that’s stronger than you man
And it’s OK if you don’t understand
You can see them staring at us sideways
I see they don’t believe
That our stitched up hearts and ruby scars are beautiful things
She keeps me out of my grave
With a gentle guiding hand
And it’s OK if you don’t understand
