Big Love 03:43
Here we go down another dusty back road You should know it's still the only way I want to go I don’t want any promises, all I want is you With yesterday behind us fading out of view To make it through Long ago before I knew what’s in your heart I didn’t let it show or let it get that far - We were a thousand worlds apart I’d drift past smiling faces and folks staring from afar And still go out there wondering where the hell you are, Where you are Rough trip, it was a long ride but there’s a big love inside Hold me like you’re never letting go Hold me like you’re never letting go See the road signs and help me get it right the first time Keeps me out in front the ghosts within my mind That never seemed to die A different sweat of circumstance wherever I may turn From one bridge to another just to stop and watch them burn, Watch them burn Heads up, eyes wide 'cuz there's a big love inside Hold me like you’re never letting go Hold me like you’re never letting go So down that road, bearing everything I know Never thinking twice or ever letting go of such a heavy load Now we walk that broken highway that trails off into the sun And feel the warmth of daylight as the heart becomes undone, Becomes undone Tall grass, blue skies and a big love inside Hold me like you’re never letting go Hold me like you’re never letting go Hold me like you’re never letting go

Don’t look down on me, brother, for who I am Or who I’m supposed to be The wind will erode even best laid of plans Most hopes and dreams are washed to the sea Its seems like it took me too many good years To get to the place I am now Too much time in the shadows chasing my fears Time I could use about now Just try to move on And try not to look back too long Daylight is breaking within We’re way past the skyline, my friend Too much time on the highway can strangle the mind Stretches the soul out too thin You start to develop a false sense of time And that’s when the fear sets in Fear’s just an alarm Reach over and turn that thing off Now’s the time to awake Cuz we’re way past the skyline today It’s nice to come home at the end of the day Sit down and rest up your bones It'd gotten too easy getting lost on the way Travelling that road all alone Day breaks like it did And you can never hold on to the wind Breathe in the air if you can Cuz we’re way past the skyline again Yes, we’re way past the skyline again We’re way past the skyline, my friend…

Burned by Love, years were worn Lies were told, truths were sworn I tried it all and I lost some friends Burned by love, once again, burned by love, once again Burned by love, well weren’t it so I might have beat that ole undertow But since I can’t choose to feel Burned by love that wasn’t real, Burned by love that wasn’t real bridge Burned by Love, a love unchained Come back up in my face again Burned by love, a love unbound Burned it all to the ground Burned by Love, I should have known My car had died, my bird had flown I walked that mile just to watch it go Burned by Love down to the bone Burned by love I should have known bridge Burned by Love, a love unkind Holding close what was never mine Burned by Love, a love untrue I burned it all down for you Burned by love along the road With these dreams of going home Many times I wished it so Burned by love, I’m coming home, Burned by love, I’m coming home

I’m sitting here thinking about the trouble going down And I can’t help but think about what's going around I can’t believe it happened, I can’t believe it’s real Just the latest in a series of unfortunate deals I gotta leave the city, I want to turn and run But it’s the last days of summer and there’s still a lot of work here to be done So I get up in the morning and try to rise above Dig a little deeper for the people that I love It’s a matter of survival, the fittest of the best You can get a little crazy from perpetual tests I gotta get back to the garden, there’s tending to be done And it’s the last days of summer so there’s not a lot of time left on the sun Have you seen the sun shine, have you heard the wind cry Or dreamt beneath the stars out shining in the night I started watching the horizon and walking down a trail Where the echo of your silence always hits me without fail I know it doesn’t matter and it all rolls into one Cuz in any given moment something new has just begun But there amongst the chaos, like a diamond in the rough You were shining like the moon and the stars up there above So soon the leaves are turning then winter has its way But it’s the last days of summer and I want to see the smile on your face And I saw the sun shine, and I heard the wind cry And I dreamt beneath the stars out shining in the night And I know I’ll feel alright when I know the time is right But it’s the last days of summer and I wanna go and sit outside a while Yeah, it's the last days of summer and I‘m gonna go and sit down by the fire

Long ago, before I took that fall I didn’t see it coming when I heard that highway call I don’t know, we all can lose our way Both hands on the wheel and still we swerve out of our lane Like when I opened my eyes & saw the bright lights coming Like a deer in the path of a runaway train Later on, when I was laid out on the floor All the bright lights burning still I could not find the door All alone and pacing in my cage Waiting for the answers that I thought would come with age When they opened the door I could not stop running Chasing after the dream of a runaway train Well I haven’t had a dream since way back then I haven’t had a clue where it all went But my mind goes back to you And all the time we used to spend Anymore, I think back on the times When you and I still laughed about the way we crossed the line But out the door and down the hall you flew Last thing I remember is finding out that it was you Put me down on the ground with my head still hummin’ Turned around by the sound of a runaway train Long ago before I took that fall I knew where I was headed with my back against the wall So it goes, we try to find our way Keep the focus sharp and try to mean the words you say I'm pretty sure anymore about the next thing coming I'll try to stay out the way of a runaway train

900 Miles 03:47
Well I’m down here by the tracks With this weight across my back And I’ll sell you this guitar that I own If I can make my train on time I’ll be home by tomorrow night Because I’m 900 miles from my home If my woman, she says so I will run these rails no more And I’ll sidetrack this engine by the road But my train pulls out at 5 And I will be there right on time And I’m 900 miles from my home I’ve been down there in the streets With no shoes upon my feet And the north winds have chilled me to the bone When I thought I’d seen your face You just turned the other way And now I’m 900 miles from my home When I look up towards the sky With these teardrops in my eyes And I'm reading this letter from my home Oh but I can’t go back today And have them see me this a-way Because I’m 900 miles from my home Well I tried to face the facts Once it’s gone it won’t come back And just move a little further down the road Oh but I can’t believe it’s true Because there’s no one left like you And now I’m 900 miles from my home Yes I'm 900 miles from my home

Renovo 03:27
That day was sunny, an October sky When things got funny, started to slide Well I’m gonna make it, this much I know Back to Renovo, back to Renovo I took a stroll, tried to clear my head That’s when that old mocking bird got fed Well I got an itch that’s kind of low Back in Renovo, back in Renovo Runnin’ hard, keeping low Leavin’ town before the snow It can’t be true, what I heard Small town talk, big time words Well I just couldn’t take it and I had to leave That’s what I’m hoping they all believe But it’s not much better here all alone Than back in Renovo, back in Renovo She grabbed the money, playin' to win Said 'see ya honey at the Cross Fork Inn' But that’s not as far as I would go Back in Renovo, back in Renovo Down through town, hot summer day Windows down, radio playing River side, sun sinking low In my head I’m goin’ home Well I ain’t done dreaming of breaking free But that’s one long road out ahead of me I still see your face and it’s all alone Back in Renovo, back in Renovo

I had a dream last night, soon as I closed my eyes The dark burned away and night turned to day Nothing but clear blue sky I had a dream last night I dreamt a train last night, broke thru the other side Past all them scenes of broken dreams That failed because I tried I dreamt a train last night I crossed the river and I crossed the line I rode the rails across the great divide I should have known to leave these things behind Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide I felt the rain last night, a steady downward tide The deluge began and kept pouring in While all the world burned dry I felt the rain last night Down in the bottom and down to the wire Back past the sparking of that burning fire Out past the skyline and the idle wild Then out to the sea but just for a while I slipped away last night, was right there by your side If I could see with both your eyes And with your wings could fly I Dreamt a Train last night

I’ll track down all I could have been Box it up so we could start again Build it back up from the basement floor To love you more Just this much just won’t do I know the others who wanted you too But I’m the guy here by your kitchen door To love you more bridge Direct the sun like a search light Until it makes you feel alright It gets mighty cold down here at night So put aside your stage fright Put aside your stage fright If I could and if you can Meet me where the ocean meets the land There's a cup that I’ll forever pour To love you more I got no time for staying young With all these words nailed to my tongue That’s the greatest cross I ever bore To love you more Repeat bridge I’ll track down all I could have been Box it up so we could start again Build it back up from the basement floor To love you more

Goodbye my friend, it’s time to go Time to move on down the road Played them tunes all through the night It's time to greet the morning light That light can disinfect the soul For a busted back and a heavy load With taxes paid to debtors owed Goodbye my friend, it’s time to go Goodbye buddy, adios I still remember being close But fault lines shift and feelings change I’m not sure what got rearranged I know adulation can turn green When friendship crumbles underneath All you're left with is a ghost Goodbye my friend and adios Goodbye, I guess, it's hard to know Am I leavin' town or going home I guess it wasn’t what it seemed So much for idealistic dreams Age is cursed by rain and wind And time can make the river bend All them years but what the hell I hope you know I wish you well Goodbye for now, I gots to go Let's raise a glass and drink a toast The trail just faded out of view I'm not sure what more I could do Old wounds can heal as time goes by And hope commands a second try But some folks shrink while others grow So goodbye friend, it's time to go Break on through the other side Goodbye my friend it's time to ride
