Concrete Driveways 03:57

Chasing the light Until you’re so tired Til somebody throws you a rope You think that you might Come in on time But things tend to go how they go Being young Running and falling is all there was Life goes on Leaving without you The way it does From concrete driveways To lost blue highways It’s all I want A shotgun seat with You beside me Maybe now We’ve found it Somethings you know And some things you don’t And some things are best not to say But When I Look in your eyes Have a feeling that I Must have done something right on the way Life is strange Things are the same But they always change Give and take All of the years In a picture frame

Simple Things 03:17
lyrics

Please Forgive Me I thought that I could hold on to the past and  be brand new It really isn’t practical just something that I do  Please remind me  Remember when I didn’t need to be a millionaire  When the way home wasn’t memorized and the wind was in my hair   Right now I’m tired of I’m sorry  And I know I love you doesn't even ring But I still have faith that you will (em) find me We can go D back to Simple things C Right now I’m tired of saying sorry And I know I love you doesn’t mean a thing But you always know where you can  (em) find me We can go D back to Simple things C Let’s go back to simple Things We can go back to simple Things  you’ve always told me If we found the way in then there must be some way out  Of the messes that we make of us with our fear and doubt  Please forgive me there are moments in our lives that no one ever can explain We are all just trading places with the pleasure and the pain

Fix Something 03:56
lyrics

Wish I could change it all just press reverse  Go and take back all the things that made us hurt  Put these problems back where they belong Into the hands of the ones who did them wrong But I can’t give enough for those who take I can’t make real anything that’s fake And I can’t fix somethin I didn’t break Lots of thieves (crooks) out there livin free At large While innocent men are praying behind bars Nothin to do but trust a higher plan  And give away what’s left when you’ve e done all you can What’s done is done and we don’t get to wish  Everything is always what it is  Let’s be here now in reality It’d be so much better for you and me

Down the Line 03:31
lyrics

It’s Been awhile since the sun went down 25 miles from the nearest town I’m somewhere Shadows dance across the desert at night  sagebrush swayin patterns in my headlights  And I’m thinking too much tonight and I’m wishin that these thoughts might be gone by the light I’m gonna follow every Highway Under the moonlit night  Until the morning shines Some of those turns are goin my way Down the line Rolling Stones on the radio  with no money in our coats  Angie Still singin when the signal fades  one more coffee just to stay awake  now I see I still got a long way to go getting closer this I know to finding home

Hello 03:26
lyrics

I’ve said goodbye so many times I’m not afraid of letting go  I’ve said goodbye so many times I guess I’m more scared of hello Uh-oh uh-oh oh hello And he walks so fearlessly he’s walk-in directly toward me And I sit and write lines all day And I can’t think of what to say Uh-oh uh-oh how bout hello? I guess I need a little grace just let me straighten up the place  It’s been so long since someone truly cared The only word I know is goodbye And I don’t wanna tell you why But when you say hello I’m scared I’ve said goodbye around the world on planes and trains and on the sea I’ve traveled all around the world  Cuz after hello you up and leave Oh hello oh hello I gotta go Now he asks what I’m feeling he’s lookin directly at me He must think I know hello Or that he won’t ever go Oh no oh no he said hello

Freeway 03:46

oh the time it takes to leave LA when the stubborn desert turns to clay and the clay gets tired of bein mean and gives way to everything green on the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA oh the time it takes to change my mind my heart can see but i am blind i’m naive as a wounded child and fear of cages keeps me wild on the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA oh the time it takes to lose your life like becoming the wrong man’s wife and the landscape loses all its green and you go from bein kind to mean on the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA i don’t know why i don’t know why i don’t know why try and try all those years just to keep us alive i saw an angel on the side of the road i saw an angel taking somebody home and then they left through the CAR RADIO oh the time it takes to leave this world when you see a wreck makes your tummy whirl there’s chances here to pierce the veil but we stay alive let hope prevail oh the time it takes to leave LA where the city lights stole the stars away where ambition makes some of em mean and accomplishment just turns to green on the freeway leaving LA on the freeway leaving LA i don’t know why i don’t know why i don’t know why try and try high and dry just to keep us alive

California Air 03:49

Fuel and faith four wheels and a promise to leave what you know is good for the soul I wanted to leave since I was 16 but I had to wait til we were both free Breathe with me Windows down in the breeze with the california air blowin through my hair on a freeway goin anywhere from the redwood trees to the gates of Bel Air you can feel those dreams in the California Air a search for gold in the city of angels movin so fast but takin it slow we drive as far as the ocean’ll let us if the ocean runs dry we’ll dream up the sky feel alive at the edge of the ocean all i feel is the beat of my heart we dont know just where we’re goin only know right where we are

There’s a river flowin out of my soul  It’s a feelin that I’ve never known  Seems you are everywhere there’s nowhere you’re not I can feel it there’s no need for thought So I’m just lookin at my shoes bein here now  Takin long walks stayin out of the how  I’m not lyin when I tell you I’m perfectly fine Cuz I am all yours and you are all mine There’s a bloom it’s springtime in my chest  Energizing me til it’s time to rest My heart keeps on racin but it don’t care if I win I’m just so glad now that I let you in

Just enough not too much  there’s something here I can trust  Right on time and aligned  Fallin hard but feelin fine In a minute what used to to take all day No one ever told me it could be this way Or I didn’t believe it anyway  Like a wild horse that starts to break  A pit stop in the final race I need your Love more than I need space Keep Me Wild  So much change but not too late I didn’t miss the last train  Raised the stakes lost the fear  No need to chase whats always here I never knew that love could feel so free So hard to see what you don’t believe  But-now you’re lyin next to me
