Radio Silent

Trying to catch a line at the metro station

Thought I heard your voice, tuned to radio silent

Flipping through the years in the photo album

Talking in your sleep! Build a bridge to the chasm

Moving through the sound waves, trying to get by

Brewed my coffee too strong, had to leave it behind

Cruising down the street in the yellow line

Talking is cheap! For the optimal outcome

 Might be in too deep, need to find a way out

You got the green light and go

You take your mornings slow

And I, just gotta know

Who’s got the line to the next show

Drips of Honey

Trying to take a mental picture of how you feel

Your lips so sweet, I swear that they can heal

We move as one, hand in hand

Drips of honey, they fall like sand

Can I get close, close to you?

Draw me near, see the way that you move

Can I get close, close to you?

Draw me near in the light of the moon

When our eyes met, I never stood a chance

Lost in your gaze, lost in your romance

You didn’t change who you are,

Didn’t matter where I’d been

Drips of honey, until the end

And it’s where we are

And its where we stand 

And its how I sing; can I be your man?

Tear Me Up

Stuck in rhythm again

Cut my hair, change my name

Move to another state

Losing my mind again

Grab the keys, pack the bag

Shut the door & don’t look back

Caught in the past again

Hopeless love; needing change

Let my memories escape

Coming up for air again

Just as well; If it’s all the same

Keep my heart in place

Tear me up, Cut me deep

Roll back the curtain piece, the show must go on

So I put my fake smile on

The show must go on

Canyon Home

Mile by mile, keeping one foot in front of the other

Line by line, finding the version of me I need to discover

Hold the keys to this canyon home

Locked away what your heart can’t own

Head south down the ridge line in search of rest

Pushing down the darkness in my Sunday best

Sorting out the problems I won’t ignore

Tuning to the meaning of what it’s all for

Figuring out how to dream

Melodies bursting at the seam

Hold the keys to this canyon home

Open the gates, won’t you let me know

Head south down the ridgeline in search of rest

Pushing down the darkness in my Sunday best

Sorting out the problems I won’t ignore

Finding out the meaning of what it’s all for


Hanging On

I toss caution to the wind 

Just to see where I begin

Kicking rocks and turning leaves

Fine tune the love I have achieved

I see my desires, my afflictions in front of me

Throw them in the fire see where it leads

Hanging on to something holding me down

Find my fate, feet don’t fail me now

I won’t give up; Fists ready to fly

I won’t give…

My bones are ready, to fight

I won’t stand down or compromise 

My bones are ready, to fight

I won’t stand down or compromise

Still Counts

Sitting alone in this here house,

wond'rin if our love still counts

Separate rooms, and empty bed.

Honey where are you off to

But I know you still care for me

And it's all or nothing now

If you're wondering honey

Yes, our love still counts

Silent car rides, nothing we ain’t said before

You are gone, I am lost, I don't know where we went wrong

But I know you still care for me

Through it all I feel the same

And it's all or nothing now

If you're still wondering honey

Yes, this love still counts

Yes, our love still counts

If you're still wondering, honey

Yes, our love still counts

Oregon Girl

Well I found myself an Oregon girl

I guess I’ll go out and give her the world

While I’m at it, I’ll go and grab the moon and the stars

Cause when I’m with my Oregon girl, she kick starts my heart

oh Lord, Oh Lord, Here we go again

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, let that record spin

She shines bright! She’s the morning sun

So grab her hand, don’t look back, turn and run

She’ll change your life, you won’t think twice

That Oregon girl, she goes in style

She’ll change your life, you won’t think twice

That Oregon girl, is heading down the coastline

When I’m with my Oregon girl 

She kick starts my heart!

Through The Smoke

Through the smoke, I can see you clear as day

Cobblestones, line the path by the bay

Truth be told, I long for peace

Fire burn within me, Keep my head above the reeds

Anger clouds my sight , Binds me to the road

Solitude and silence, It’s all I’ve ever known

Truth be told, I can’t go on without you

So look out below, I’m still falling for you

See my reflection in your eyes

Searching for redemption in your sight

See the way you’re shaping my soul        

Take this heart of gold

Don’t let go!

Dust n’ Dirt

I feel this cold deep inside my bones

My conscience weighs heavy on my soul

Trust runs shallow, through and through

Don't have a leg to stand on so I'll keep rambling on

The moon she calls to the open road

Seeking hope, but to no avail

Along the side of that highway rail

The fortune of my life has been dust and dirt

The sun she calls me home in her golden glow

And I can't help it now

The mountain air she breathes oh and it fills my lungs

I can't go without

Turn of the pages and changes in the seasons 

Left me feeling dry

And as the day breaks, my choices left me hanging on a ledge

I turn to see her face

The sun she calls me home in her golden glow

And I can't help it now

The mountain air she breathes oh, it fills my lungs

And I can't go without

Leave a Light On

Won’t you wait

Won’t you make this house a home

Won’t you stay

Won’t you leave a light on for me

Baby you don’t need to worry 

If I’m ever good as gone

   Even in my darkest days, I’ll keep coming home to you  

Won’t you wait

Won’t you keep your eyes open as your 

watching out the window for me

Won’t you stay

Won’t you leave a light on for me

If you’re ever so low 

That you cannot see the light

Look out into the darkness 

and the porch light that I left on just for you

Won’t you wait

Won’t you leave a light on for me

Waking Up

Drift through the waves

Sift through the pain  

Shell of my old self

Calloused in freeze frame  

Dust off the shame, Brush of the blame  

Press my palms to the kiln

Crafting a  dream that we can fill  

I'm waking up Time is a vessel to heal

  I'm waking up Pulling the line to the reel

I'm waking up Time is a vessel to heal 

I'm waking up Pulling the line to the reel 

Cordial to a fault- Consciousness is in a vault  

Seeking out solace, Hastening my thoughts  

Rising to the road, Yeah mining for gold  

Unearthing myself yeah yeah, Contending the cold  

The Fraud

This ship steers without a paddle sometimes 

Dust bowl dance leaves the wind and the chimes 

Overflowed cup is a common theme Too much too fast in a lost dream 

Someone pulls the plug on me sometime

Burning the tea no reason no rhyme

Overflowed cup is a common theme 

Too much too fast in a lost dream  yeah 

Cause I am the fraud at night

And I cannot see the end in sight

Cause I am the fraud the night

Will you help me to see the light?

Surfer Blues 

My baby left me for the tide

My baby’s gunning for a ride

She up and left, left me a mess

My baby left me for the tide Ooh 

My baby left me for the coast

I think I will miss her the most

This town is dragging me down

My baby left me for the coast 

Ooh ooh 

My baby left me for the waves 

No time to grow, no time to change She reminds me of the sun, I can’t wait for  night to come 

My baby left me for the waves 

Ooh  

Ooh Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Running in Circles 

We were running in circles 

Something we had always known I wanted to be still 

As to not run into you 

We were on the mend 

Almost making right Almost making it right And then one day 

We went and left it all behind, Singing 

Oh Oh Oh  

We were running in circles 

Lying to ourselves 

Never seeing eye to eye  

Hanging our feelings on the shelf We were on the mend 

Almost making right Almost making it right And then one day 

We left it all behind , Oh Oh Oh 

We were running in circles 

Crash Down 

The galaxy is an ocean 

There to catch my fall from the moon Set my navs for the earth I'm gonna crash down  soon  

Crash down soon 

It’s been far too long in space 

I gotta get on home to all my friends, foes,  family 

They're down in the dirt with all my hopes and  all my dreams 

I gotta get on home, It’s been far too long alone Headlong into the atmosphere 

I leave my mind behind floating on 

Touch down into existence confront what is real What is real 

It’s been far too long in space  

I gotta get on home to all my friends, foes,  family 

They're down in the dirt with all my hopes and  all my dreams 

I gotta get on home It's been far too long alone And my fuel it burns in the atmosphere For the first and for the last time I see clear  yeah 

It’s been far too long in space 

I gotta get on home to all my friends, foes,  family 

They're down in the dirt with all my hopes and  all my dreams 

I gotta get on home It’s been far too long alone It’s been far too long in alone 

I gotta get on home to all my friends, foes,  family 

They're down in the dirt with all my hopes and  all my dreams 

I gotta get on home It’s been far too long alone


Biding My Time 

Our gun fired the first shot 

And our gun won’t be the last one Truth hurts in the spotlight 

Truth knows what’s wrong from what’s  right 

Lay down your guns and surrender This .45 won’t set you free 

Lay down your guns and surrender Enough is enough, lay ‘em down The sun beats down on my neck Will I ever find my rest? 

Through the pines and the divide Losing my mind, biding my time 

Ooh Ooh Ooh 

Ooh Ooh Ooh 

Losing my mind, biding my time Losing my mind, biding my time Losing my mind, biding my time Losing my damn mind, biding my time 

Lay down your guns and surrender This .45 won’t set you free 

Lay down your guns and surrender Enough is enough, lay ‘em down yeah Ooh Ooh Ooh 

Ooh Ooh Ooh
