Wednesday Here Again
I heard that conductor calling
Calling all aboard
I swore I wouldn't buy ticket, but I'm on these tracks again
She wasn't just a woman she was my best friend
Yesterday all my problems seem so far away
Only to have them back today
I don't know where I am, I want things the way they once were
Oh train take me back to her
Wednesday blew in
And I'm missing her again
Rode this train, straight down the line
Reflection of a person that I can't find
Yesterday's Gone like an old Skynyrd song
Wednesday blew in and my...

Wishin' and Missin'
We've been wishin'
We've been missin'
All the thing we used to do
We keep hopin' they'll still come true
All this time apart
Is really heavy on my heart
I guess you can say...
Sometime life just gets in the away
But girl I got a plan, if you understand
So...
Let's stop Wishin'
Let's go fishin'
Meet me down at my favorite hole
You bring the bait, I'll bring a pole
On a riverbank, just you and me
Under a heart carved cotton wood tree
So stop the wishin'... let's go fishn'
I threw a penny in a wishing...

In Our Dreams
Life is never what it seems
We only live in our dreams
Only to wake and find
You're competing against the hands of time
We never realize the choices we had
Good or bad
Bad to good
Only in the middle where we're misunderstood
Is it our fate
To love or hate
Hate to love
We'll never see the light from above
We all have our turn
Mistakes we never learn
It's not the way we live
Wether we choose to blame or to forgive
We only live in our dreams
Only to wake and find
You're competing against the hands of time
We never realize the choices we had
Good or bad
Bad to good
Only in the middle where we're misunderstood
Is it our fate
To love or hate
Hate to love
We'll never see the light from above
We all have our turn
Mistakes we never learn
It's not the way we live
Wether we choose to blame or to forgive

I'll Come Back Again
The summer is almost over
I can't find that field of clover
Sometimes you're a mystery
Is it because of our history
I still have that ring of gold
But it's nothing you can hold
Without you I've lost my soul
You always made me whole
I know the wind is always blowing
I don't know where I'm going
But I can tell you my friend
I'll come back again
There's days I don't understand
My direction? or God's plan?
I can't turn back the hands of time
Or go back only to find
You were never really mine
I know the wind...
I can't find that field of clover
Sometimes you're a mystery
Is it because of our history
I still have that ring of gold
But it's nothing you can hold
Without you I've lost my soul
You always made me whole
I know the wind is always blowing
I don't know where I'm going
But I can tell you my friend
I'll come back again
There's days I don't understand
My direction? or God's plan?
I can't turn back the hands of time
Or go back only to find
You were never really mine

On The Oconee
Got 'em all load up on the truck
Cooler packed tight with Bush Light
My baby looking right , ponytail pulled through favorite hat
Daisy dukes and a bikini top
That girl my river rat... and that's where at
Things are about to get wet... wet for you me
All my friends are on the Oconee
Don't worry, were going get down
Going down that river wild and free
A little kayak flipping, a little skinny dipping
We're WAO... we like to get wet from head to toe
Redneck proud, cranking that country...

Savannah Sunrise
That Georgia sun is beating down
Not a rain cloud can be found
Goin' to let this old tractor be
Thinkin' bout finding some you and me
Hey baby what are doing tonight
There's no need to pack it up
Just jump in the truck
Lets make it there before mornin' light
Your feet is on my dash
I'm feeling like Johnny Cash
You're like a DJ paying those outlaw country songs
Like a shotgun rider with both barrels drawn
I wanna Savannah sunrise In your eyes
Lets crash-land on that sand
Hold me close with that embrace...

State of Emergency
She wasn't in my forecast
Not even on my radar
I didn't know that girl could have takin' it so far
Time with her was all blue skies
Until her landslide made me realize
I'll never be free
I'm living in a state of emergency
She's like the San Andreas fault, she shook me to the floor
She blew me away like a hurricane on a south Florida shore
Left me all twisted inside like a tornado out on a Kansas plain
Swept me away like flood in a Louisiana rain.
Don't need no storm shelter
No evacuation or disaster plan
I...

Wanna New Memory
Wake up with the rooster's crow
Start my day with some coffee black
Tell myself I'm not gonna to look back...
As the day comes crashing in
So does your memory of way back when
I play them in my mind time after time
Like an old slide show that always rewinds
I wanna new memory
of you and just me
A new sunrise, a new sunet
Some good times with no regrets
Like a paycheck, it's all good until it's gone
Like the ending to your favorite country song
Just something new so I can hold on...
You and me......

You without Me
Time and memories are so strange
Like horses running wild on an open range
When you break the silence you'll find the blame
Only the thunder from the hoofs remain
I drive this war ship into the sunset
The light blinds the things I couldn't see
Like wheels that turn on the road of regret
I wished I'd never known you without me
I feel like I'll never hear your voice or touch face
I feel like sometimes I can't remember what I've erased.
I feel those times are gone... when we were alone.
I wonder if it was real and don't like...
Like horses running wild on an open range
When you break the silence you'll find the blame
Only the thunder from the hoofs remain
I drive this war ship into the sunset

Like wheels that turn on the road of regret
I wished I'd never known you without me

We're Not Ready
You're settin' on the edge of our bed
There's a tear in your eye
You're questioning if it's time
Time to say goodbye
I'm drivin' this car
Did I take it to far
I just needed some fresh air
I'm swearin' I just don't care
We're not ready
We're not ready to let go
Of each other or the reasons that we fight
So we'll hold on for another night
Cause we both know
We're not ready, We're not ready, We're not ready
To let go
You say it's the alcohol and the lack of a plan
I say you must have feelings for another man
So we...

Georgia
It's a rainy night on midnight train
Her voice is calling my name
It's been a while since I saw her smile
Without her I'm living in exile
I'm back on the road, just me and boo
Tonight the lights went out, I hope to make through
I miss her southern charm and the comfort in her arms
When I'm in Rome, it my home away from home
She's my Georgia
She's always on my mind
I like it when I cross her state line
She's sweet as a peach in the summertime
She's a rose...

Takin' It
I was wearing a pair Dingo boots sitting in the back of math class with nothing to do
Counting the days to graduation and wondering how soft the leg was in Cindy’s high heel shoe
Takin’ it as far as I could
Takin’ it as far as I could
I’d meet my buddies in town on Friday night
We’d ride that strip going nowhere
All we knew, we were there
A pony pack with some smoke in the air
Takin’ it as far as I could
Takin’ it as far as I could
My daddy said my hair was too long ...
