High School (Acoustic)
03:44

Bubble gum and house parties
When you stole your parent's rum and
Tried to screw everything that could breathe
Back in high school
We didn't have a whole lot to do and
Watched the world go by on a television screen
Said it's the nineties kids
That's way out, this is way in
Go beat each other up on the dance floor
It told us drugs were no good but then we smoked 'em and
Liked 'em so much we smoked a little more.
We liked 'em so much we smoked a little more
Did I call your name, did you hear me
Singing that song I wrote for you
You're so the same, but you're so different
I didn't recognize you
It's kinda hard with all that sexual confusion
Sometimes you don't know if you're gay or straight
But what's the difference, it's a wonderful delusion and
Most times you won't make it past second base
I'm in a band, we kinda suck
But we don't know it yet and I don't care anyway
Soon I'm gonna sell these drums, pay my rent, support my kid and
Tell him all about way back in daddy's day
I'll tell him all about way back in daddy's day
Did I call your name, did you hear me
Singing that song I wrote for you
You're so the same, but you're so different
I didn't recognize you
Some years later by a soda coolerator
In the corner store back in my hometown, this stranger smiles at me
He said remember the class of '93 and
For some reason it makes him look real proud
After all the good times he said we had he looks at me
Scratches his head and asks me where the hell I ever went and
The funny thing is, I never even knew him
But he could've been any one of my high school friends
Did I call your name, did you hear me
Singing that song I wrote for you
You're so the same, but you're so different
I didn't recognize you

I dreamed that I lit my house on fire
Sat in the road and watched it burn
Wanted to see some kind of hero jump in the flames and rescue her
She was a movie that was over
Credits were rolling down her face
We were a plot that’s going nowhere
I was just staring off into space
When I hear that song it rattles my heart
Like a storm in the jungle starting to rumble
I hear you sing along every part and my stone heart crumbles
I guess ‘cause I love you so. I love you so
I love you so. I love you so
It’s not that I want to return to innocence; I wanna lose it all over again
Wish I could bottle up that feeling and take it for every mood I’m in
I might look back into the past sometimes but I let you go
Oh I let you go. Yes I let you go!
When I hear that song it rattles my heart
Like a storm in the jungle started to rumble
I hear you sing along every part and my stone heart crumbles
I guess ‘cause I love you so. I love you so
I love you so. I love you so

Mother (Acoustic)
03:29
|

Mother you brought me here
You gave me everything
That I hold dear
Mother was I your dream?
Some kind of nightmare
Or something in between?
Life is so strange
Oh, but it's amazing
I'm half the man of my father
I could never fill his shoes
Oh but mother the other
Half of me is you
Mother i have your smile
Of all the things I stole
However old I grow
I will always be your child
Mother you must be tired
You are my daylgiht
And the moon in my sky
Life is so strange
Oh, but it's amazing
I'm half the man of my father
I could never fill his shoes
Oh but mother the other
Half of me is you

This rain might wash me away
But the sun might burn my face
This corner chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, tears me down
I don't count my sins
'Cause I don't want to count on anything
In case it chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, tears me down
I'm not crying for you
I don't feel no pain
But every time you leave
I wish that I was on my way
I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
Wearing holes in my shoes, I got blisters on my toes
Everybody knows there's nothing to do
So I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
I don't count my change
It's always gone at the end of the day
Tomorrow chew me up, spit me out
Pick me up, tear me down
I'm not hiding from you
I don't feel no shame
But every time you leave
I wish that I was on my way
I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
Wearing holes in my shoes, I got blisters on my toes
Everybody knows there's nothing to do
So I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
Sunny afternoon and I'm so bored
The grass ain't greener on the other side anymore
I'm sipping coffee to chase the blues
Tired of looking for something else to do
I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
I'm singing on the sidewalk, dancing for you
I pour out my heart for a dime or two

Pulled into town about a quarter to three
Singing songs from Spain at the top of my lungs
She said, "Hey, baby", when she saw it was me
I was looking for her, she was looking for fun
Dancing in the kitchen with a wooden spoon
I couldn't see what she was making
From the other side of the room, I took a step inside
And made myself a part of that night
Derrick came home and we played guitar
Sam I am and star you are
She said you always gotta read the box
But you always gotta read me right
We made some lemon meringue pie
It sucked but anyway I would make it with you again, anytime
We ate your lemon meringue pie
I suppose that I shouldn't lie, it's the only reason I came by tonight
Listen in a room to a song about shame
You let me in on every little thing
Playing with the words on the tip of my tongue
Ain't all I can do with the tip of my tongue
Licking the lemon, filling as it drips down
The long neck of my beer
Everyone was laughing and you just smiled
From ear to ear
And said always gotta read the box
But you always gotta read me right
We made some lemon meringue pie
It sucked but anyway I would make it with you again, anytime
We ate your lemon meringue pie
I suppose that I shouldn't lie, it's the only reason I came by tonight
Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring would be like with you in my arms
She said you always gotta read the box
But you always gotta read me right
We made some lemon meringue pie
It sucked but anyway I would make it with you again, anytime
We ate your lemon meringue pie
I suppose that I shouldn't lie, it's the only reason I came by tonight

Left Behind (Acoustic)

It's cold when it's October here
But the leaves are burnin red
There's one still hanging on my tree
That just won't give into the wind
I had faith in one thing
That was gravity
But you took my feet from the ground so high
I don't know what that word even means
You're always dreamin so far ahead
I feel a little left behind
We will never find each other my love
In the same place at the same time
You never saw yourself as an artist
I never saw a portrait like your smile
We never saw each other first time we looked
But good things take a while
And you wish to have it figured out
Every detail of your life
Well it's kind of a drag to think about
You not figuring into mine
You're always dreamin so far ahead
I feel a little left behind
We will never find each other my love
In the same place at the same time
So I'm putting this love for you out there
And it will not be bound by time
I'll be in your hands as a deck of cards
And on your lips like cheap red wine

Come Fly Away (Acoustic)
02:46
|
|||
Like a sparrow on a wire
Singin' the same song everyday
I'm feeling restless but I'm tired
Don't want to leave but I can't stay
You and me need something more
It's time to spread our wings and go
So come fly away
Through the clouds into the sun,
Far away from everyone
Come fly away
When we get above the rain
They are all sunny days
My heart is pounding like a hammer
Chasing the seasons round the sun
Just like a question with no answer
I guess we're always on the run
You and me need something more
It's time to spread our wings and go
So come fly away
Through the clouds into the sun,
Far away from everyone
Come fly away
When we get above the rain
They are all sunny days

Sula (Acoustic)

All the songs to sing been sung
All the things to do been done
You got nowhere left to go
All the dreams to dream been dreamed
All the things to see been seen
Guess you better find your way back home
Dear ol' Sula
Knew I'd lose ya
I ain't been waiting for you
All the things to feel been felt
All the pretty roses smelled
Sit back these days, get left behind
All the things to touch been touched
Baby grown, you learned so much
Pick a grape and turn it into wine
Dear ol' Sula
Knew I'd lose ya
I ain't been waiting for you
All the songs to sing been sung
Can't take the honey if you don't get stung
Sting a bee, sing a bird a song
All the dreams to dream been dreamt
In my bones you never left
Ain't it bitter-sweet like home-sweet-home
Dear ol' Sula
Knew I'd fool ya
I ain't been waiting for you

Everybody save the date, 'cause in the month of May
He gonna marry the love of his life
It was the last beat of her heart, when death had done 'em part
He said, "Gonna' make this corpse my bride"
Wedding bells are ringing
And the Maid of Honour's singing
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Her man gonna' drink and laugh he said
Everybody raise a glass, the bride is dead
It was easier I guess fitting in her wedding dress
'Cause she hadn't eaten for a couple weeks
She is old as she is new
She's borrowed and she's blue
So we had to use a lot of blush on her cheeks
The best man's got the ring and
It's beautiful, the only thing is
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Her man gonna' drink and laugh he said
Everybody raise a glass, the bride is dead
You could never break your heart
As sure as the night will fall
You could never break her heart
You got the purest love of them all
A hush fell on the room, and the preacher asked the groom
"Do you take this woman as your wife"
He said, "I do, I did, I probably should've years ago
It moves too fast, this goddamn life
And you can't chase forever
It only lasts while you're together."
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Oh the bride is dead, her soul is gone
The bride is dead, but love carries on
It's like a miracle, the wedding's a funeral
Her man gonna' drink and laugh he said
Her man gonna' drink and laugh he said
Her man gonna' drink and laugh he said
Everybody raise a glass
The bride is dead
