See You There
02:58
|
|||
Gonna take a little trip
Way back in my mind
To another place
To another time
Oh Mama
I can almost see your face
In the sweet sunshine
And when the raindrops fly
In the moonlit snow
Or the mountain high
Oh Daddy
I can almost see your face
But now you’re gone
To another place
I don't know when
And don't know where
But I'll see you there
Going to pack my bags
And get out of here
Because life’s too short!
Gonna disappear
Oh my Brother
I can almost see your face
But now you’re gone
To another place
I don't know when
And don't know where
But I'll see you there

Make Your Stand
03:54
|
|||
Well I hope you’re feeling better
And it’s a brighter day out there
You know it’s not unusual
For this to be my prayer
You’ve got to make your stand
Make it the best you can
Well I know it’s getting darker
but it doesn’t look like rain
The more things keep moving
The less they stay the same
You’ve got to make your stand
Make it the best you can
Feel the world changing
Getting better day by day
Wishing all the bad things away
I know it’s getting harder
But the good stuff will survive
A brand new day is dawning
It’s good to be alive
You’ve got to make your stand
Make it the best you can

No Time For Crying
03:45
|
|||
Got no mind for wasting time
Makes me wonder if I'm going
Out of my head
Out of my head into the blue
Set free and flying
Steadfast and true, into the blue
Steadfast and true, into the blue
There's no time for crying
Pull yourself away
Got to keep on driving
Till your dying day
Take me back across the track
Where I really feel that
Crack on my back
On my back, in my soul
Just one minute and I
Lose all control, deep in my soul
Lose all control, deep in my soul
There's no time for crying
Pull yourself away
Got to keep on trying
Till your dying day

Tell Me
05:47
|
|||
Tell me everything
Tell me all your hopes and dreams
Tell me of your trips around the moon
Tell me why you had to leave so soon

Illusions
04:00
|
|||
Well you got what you deserved
I guess that’s what they’d say
But you never lost your nerve
When
All of your illusions
Seem to roll and tumble
Drift and stumble away
I guess that’s just OK
Well I heard they’re on your trail
And you might not make it back
But I think of you and smile
Because
All of your solutions
Seem to roll and tumble
Drift and stumble away
Drifting into space
I guess that's just OK
All of your solutions
Seem to roll and tumble
Drift and stumble away
Drifting into space
I guess that's just OK

On The Right Track
04:48
|
|||
Tell your mama and tell your pa
Don't go back there to Arkansas
You don't want to be there when it's burning bright
Point your headlights into the night
Get on the right track
No turning around.
No looking back
No slowing down
Fire started yesterday
If this thing catches there's hell to pay
Don't take anything with you; just hit the road
There's no saying how far to go
Get on the right track
No turning around.
No looking back
No slowing down
Goodbye to Damascus
And the Southern Central plains
Mutual destruction
Is a pretty deadly game
Tell your mama and tell your pa
Don't go back there to Arkansas
I don't want to be there when it's burning bright
Point your headlights into the night
Get on the right track
No turning around.
No looking back
No slowing down

Might've Been The Devil
04:45
|
|||
Everybody’s saying this
Everybody’s saying that
Everybody seems to know
Exactly where it all is at
Looking for the answers
Paying all my dues
Getting to the point
Where there's nothing left to lose
My nose is to grindstone
My hands are on the wheel
Help me find my way!
I pray
Some day
We don't say
Don't know why
Seemed on the level
Thought I saw God
Might have been the Devil
Somebody says it's right
Somebody says it's wrong
How am I gonna get it straight?
Why's it have to take so long?
Looking for the answers
Paying all my dues
Getting to the point
Where there's nothing left to lose
My nose is to grindstone
My hands are on the wheel
Help me find my way!
I pray
Some day
We don't say

Master Plan
04:10
|
|||
I have to ask a question
I really need to know
Sometimes it's so confusing
Show me the way to go
Any time now
I’m in line now
Help me understand
What’s the master plan?
Anytime now
Drop a line now
Help us understand
What’s the master plan?
I get so tired of waiting
Seems you’ve been gone so long!
Sometimes I can’t remember
If I was right or wrong

Hey
You know I thought of you today
Like I do most everyday
Always in my heart
Hey
Got a glimpse of you today
Then the stranger walked away
Nearly stopped my heart
And time don’t change a thing
I’m always wondering
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
I’d love to know
Hey
Are you wondering ‘bout me too?
And everyone who’s missing you?
All the broken hearts

Wake Up
05:27
|
|||
Just a moment
Then it’s gone
Just a memory
Moving on
I don’t want to wake up some day
Wonder where my life has gone
Used to feel like
Time barely passed
Now it seems like
It moves so fast
Everything keeps changing
Rearranging
Never holding still
I can take the sad times
The good and bad times
As long as I’m with you

No One Else For Me
03:42
|
|||
You hold the key to my heart
You hold the key to my soul
You’re everything I’m looking for
I hope I show it
but I think you know
From when I open my eyes
As the day unwinds
When we finally say good night
I hope I show it
But I think you know
I will never understand
What happens to the best of plans
The future is a mystery
If you knew the truth would you believe?
Because I can see
There’s no one else for me
So as you go through your day
Throw a smile my way
Tell me what you’re thinking of
It might seem crazy
But I’d love to know
I will never understand
What happens to the best of plans
The future is a mystery
If you knew the truth would you believe?
Because I can see
There’s no one else for me

Here's To You
05:44
|
|||
Here’s to you
And your steadfast heart
Here’s to you
Though we’re so far apart
Everything that’s been
And all that will ever be
Couldn’t take you away
From me
So when you’re feeling down
And all your hope is gone
And you’re so far from home
And all you luck’s run out
Here’s to you (baby)

My Sweet Mutineer
03:42
|
|||
Goodbye my sweet mutineer
The time for leaving draws near
You've put me on the right track
But I don't know I'll ever be back
Miles before me and miles behind
How many miles to go?
Off in the distance that might be a light
I don't know
Goodbye my dear second skin
Looks like your ship has come in
We've been through with and without
But it looks like our time has run out
All of the sunsets and all of the dawns
Seem to fade into one
Off in the distance that might be a light
I don't know
Miles before me and miles behind
How many miles to go?
Off in the distance that might be a light
I don't know
