Try to find the words man, think about the government
Got your shoe tied wrong when, try to get that run in
Gotta get to breathin, try to catch that clean air
I’m just looking for a resting place trying to catch my wind
Who set the fire cause the house been burnin’
Who set the fire cause the house been burnin
Trying to find out but my head keep turning
Who set the fire cause the house been burnin
Hearing all the voices, lifted up in chorus when
They’re lifted high above the flame
But there’s one that’s in the crowd
Whose voice been singled out
Cause it’s been broken, its been strained
Oh just listen to him now
As he’s breakin all his chains!
Chorus
Now don’t be scared love,
Just do what you got..cause
You know everybody’s been waitin' on you
No don’t be scared love, just do what you got cause
You gotta do what you gotta do
Chorus

When We Get There
04:21
|
|

Grab my shirt and a pack a smokes
Headin out don’t know where to go
Just gonna let the west wind lead
Now I’m driving down a dirt road
Out in the middle and I’m all alone
But there’s bound to be a change in me
When I make it through
When I make it through
Things will be different
Caught the eyes of a stranger’s face
Felt connected in the strangest way
Her babe he was laying on her knee
The bill collector, he came by today
Boarded up what they couldn’t pay
Her heart was set on which way when they leave
I couldn’t handle what I thought I saw
Lit a cigarette and took a draw
She grabbed his hand and said to him
When we make it through
When we make it through
Things will be different
You’ve been waiting on a phone call
From your baby wishing on a star
But the night is dark and it ain’t clear
And that’s the way when your vision’s blurred
In your pain you just reach for her
Feel the calm coming over you
When you make it through
When you make it through
Things will be different

Solely

You were on your way up
I was on my way down
When I passed you my hand I did raise like the old time
You were on your way to the land of the bible
Where they tell you to kneel down and pray
It was solely, solely for me
I called my friend and asked him
Said where did you take him, where did you lay him I wanted to see
So I grabbed him some flowers, grabbed him some daisies
Some things I would have done as a kid
It was solely, solely for me
Had a day to get there
So I took my sweet time and drove through the valleys
Drove through the plains
Pulled up at mid-night the light was still on
I found myself between the stain and the frame
It was solely, solely for me

Now we're going to
the place we’re headed to
when I was after you
And you stand right there
I just grab your hand
Pray ya feel it too
Now we’re in the car
Going to the place
That you say you're from
And the land stretches out
it goes for miles and miles
to the setting sun
And we walk right up to
The place we’re headed to
When I’ve been after you
Now we’re headed home
The place we finally know
As our own
And you lay your head
Right beside my head
Pray ya feel it too
Now we’re going to
The place we’re headed to
When I’ve was after you

I Left Home
04:48

|

When I left my home this morning
You know I didn’t even cry
When I left my home, you know I didn’t even cry
I just bowed my head
Felt like bees were in my eyes
Guess I’ll head on down the road
Just to see what I can find
Head on down the road, see what I can find
Gotta be some work on round here
Lord, I’m gonna lose my mind
Well now I got me a fancy suit
And I’ve got me a dress to wear
Put on my dancin’ shoes
Get caught out in the midnight air
Lord knows I done spent my blood and sweat and all of my tears
When I left my home this morning
You know I began to cry
When I left my home this morning, sho’nuff I began to cry
Got to thinkin bout what I done did to get here
It makes me wanna die

Leroy
05:01
|
|

Heard there was a secret land
that when you saw the sun
It just stretched out for miles and miles
And when the pasture turned
And when the grass bent
You felt yourself connected right between them
Chorus:
Oh now Leroy
I need you to get up
I need you to get ready, we’re leaving in the morn
Oh now Leroy
I need you to trust me
Where we’re headed I’ve never seen before
And I heard there was a strangers face
That when you saw his eyes
You felt like you had been there
Like you met in another time
And there is a well
That you can draw from
Yeh you can drink the water
And we can be together
Chorus
And if I can’t cross the ocean
If I cannot climb the mount
And I cannot hold the shapeless in my hand
But I can try to lift it up
Chorus

Lift Us
03:45
|
|

I was heading down a road
Going nowhere
But I didn’t even know
Ya know I didn’t even care
But along the way
Came a word I was needing to hear
Chorus:
Love can lift us
Oh love real love
Love can lift us
Talkin ‘bout love real love
So you say you’re all alone
Drowning in a sea of people
I will throw you a rope
Pull you to shore
So you can feel this
Chorus
Talkin bout love
If you’ve ever been on the floor
Aint go no where to go
Just lookin up keep lookin up
Chorus

Could've Been A Sunday
04:58
|
|
||
Round the corner there’s a little wall
A little place I go to think and hide from it all
And up above in the maple tree,
birds come to rest and find what they need
But you can look between the branches
And you gaze up at the sky
Chorus:
And it must have been a Saturday
But it could have been a Sunday morn
It doesn’t matter anyway
That’s all that I know (2x)
Sister Mary gonna stand up
She gonna tell about the week she had
How the lord came through when she needed him
Now Bobby gonna sit in the back
And Bobby gonna think to himself
This ain’t for me I’m gonna find something that is
Chorus
Bobby said I went for a walk and I looked up
Hallelujah lord I need ya hal-le-lu-jah
Chorus

Say It
04:11
|
|
||
How do you say it
How do you say it
How do you say what you’ve been meaning to say
Would you look at you
Standing with your head down
Got a fist like a rebel and a heart of gold
It just weights you down
And I’ve been trying to
Walk right on up
Trying to get the words on out of my mouth
Chorus
Must’ve been the middle of the night
Seem like a full moon
It was the same outside as the place you hide
Inside your room
Your just a little boy
Trying to be a big strong man
Trying to be what he never saw
And can’t seem to understand
Chorus
You just say it

Slow Time
04:11
|
|
||
It’s a blue-eyed Sunday, morning, afternoon
And I’m out here waiting for you to come on
I like it when you say
That you don’t believe what they tell us
You’ll find your own questions
And I like it when you say that
I’m the kind that takes my slow time just thinkin’
So my words don't come out right when you need them
I like it when you say
That you don’t believe what they tell us
You’ll find your own questions
And I like it when you say that

If You Let Me
04:19
|
|
||
Lord if you let me
Live one more day
I’ll go and I’ll do what I never did
Send out my love
To all of my friends
Oh lord if you let me, I’ll make amends
And lord if you let me
I’ll call cousin George
And thank him, letting me crash there
When I was on the road
And I’ll tell him our blood
Is purer than gold
Oh lord if ya let me I’ll call cousin George
And lord if ya let me
I’ll go see my mom
She’s there with my brother, her only son
And I’ll tell her I’m grateful for all that she done
Oh lord if ya let me I’ll go see my mom
And lord if ya let me
I’ll sing one last song
Till my hands are all bleeding, and my voice is all gone
And I’ll sing out my heart to this one last tune
Oh lord if you let me
I’ll sing them the blues
