Apart Of Me
verse 1-
my grandmas tough as nails
and mean as hell
when push comes to shove
i know i got her fire running through my blood
she loves with all her heart
and gives all she can
but i wouldn't test her man
chorus-
i know she's apart of me
from my head down to my feet
i can hear her words of wisdom
telling me to use my head for more than a hat rack
and life's a bitch and then you die
so you better live it right
dont you ever give up that fight
we all grow old one day
so dont be afraid to pray
what you get is what you...
my grandmas tough as nails
and mean as hell
when push comes to shove
i know i got her fire running through my blood
she loves with all her heart
and gives all she can
but i wouldn't test her man
chorus-
i know she's apart of me
from my head down to my feet
i can hear her words of wisdom
telling me to use my head for more than a hat rack
and life's a bitch and then you die
so you better live it right
dont you ever give up that fight
we all grow old one day
so dont be afraid to pray
what you get is what you...

That Song Comes On
verse 1-
hey i'm a happy
life of the party type of person
looking at me
you'd never know i'd been hurting
i smile like there ain't nothing that got me down
hey ask anyone around
but
chorus-
that song comes on
and i remember that you're gone
my memory has been able to forget
just about everything
when it comes to you and me
i know i'll be ok
as long as that band dont sing
the one about a girl so deep in love
man it tears me up
any other day
i'm just fine
i get by alright
but i remember that you're gone...

Haunted By Your Dreams
Verse 1-
The rain washes over my skin
Washes away all of my sins
And all those places I should have never been
Like a new start
Patching up this way ward heart
I seen too many things
That can't be unseen
Chorus-
I've put my life on line
Just to come back haunted by my dreams
The things I see
When I close my eyes
The loud booms that I hear
A never disappearing fear
I'm numb inside
So I can forget
All the things I want to hide
Nothing's ever as it seems
When you're haunted by your dreams
Verse 2-
I...
The rain washes over my skin
Washes away all of my sins
And all those places I should have never been
Like a new start
Patching up this way ward heart

That can't be unseen
Chorus-
I've put my life on line
Just to come back haunted by my dreams
The things I see
When I close my eyes
The loud booms that I hear
A never disappearing fear
I'm numb inside
So I can forget
All the things I want to hide
Nothing's ever as it seems
When you're haunted by your dreams

No Harm
verse 1-
step off that Apache
those thrusters burning and kicking up sand
for the next year
you wont go any where without a gun in your hand
right there your whole life changes
so many new faces
oh
chorus-
when those war drums beat
tie up the boots on my feet
i'm a sister, a daughter, i'm a mother, a wife
willing to lay down my life tonight
i pray i don't have to fight
but if i see that white light
i know i did the right thing
and god will welcome me
hey i'm proud of this job
standing tough with my sisters and...

Let Go
verse 1-
man rumors spread around this town
like wild fire
with no rain coming down
everybody's gonna talk about me and you
but they don't have a clue
what we went through
so much speculation about where we went wrong
and who's to blame
ain't it a shame
chorus-
i learn something new about me every day
did you hear what ole what's his face had to say
everybody's pointing fingers
but only you and i
know what really happen when we called it quits
when you said enough was enough
and i said that was it
everyone thinks...

Ain't That Something
verse 1-
summers where i come from
are like running on the sun
so damn hot
but we know a few spots
to keep us cool
and that winter snow
has been known to go
from 0 to 60
in no time flat
i wish i could go back
chorus-
i bleed that muddy water of that Sacramento River bank
and i've been washed on the shore of that Shasta Lake
its red dirt runs in my veins
i was raised
in those California hills
small town
runnin around
couldn't tell me nothing
hey ain't that something
verse 2-
riding horses ...

Knocks You Off Your Feet
verse 1-
hey honey i got the night off
and i know its been a while since we went out
but that smile on your face
tells me that ain't what you're thinking about
i can see the flames of desire dancing in your eyes
and that smile
oh
chorus-
its gonna be a long night
dancing in the candle light
as i pull you closer
your head on my shoulder
as i spin away all your worries
hey honey we can head no where in a hurry
where its just you and me
and the beat
that knocks you off of your feet

The Two Of Us Together (Our Wedding Song)
verse 1-
nervous anticipation
waitin
its like every second took a hour
on that hot June day
in my button up shirt and slacks
about to make a promise
that i swear i'll never take back
chorus-
i think i heard the angels sing
and saw a holy light
this pounding heart
tells me what i'm feeling is so right
i know it from that first kiss
that i'd be standin here with you like this
when i say i do
and you do too
i know its forever
nothings better
than the two of us together
verse 2-
watching you walk down...

Thank You
verse 1-
phone was ringing off the hook
call from my buddy
sayin i'll be home a week from Sunday
you better have the beer iced down
when i come around
crazy to think a year gone by
since he went off to fight
chorus-
i take my hat off to those men and women puttin their lives on the line
just so i can keep livin mine
the ones willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice
so we can sleep at night
and anybody that ever runs em down
better not run into me out on the town
i'd like to shake every last one of their hands
and say thank you...

Watching Over Me
verse 1-
you ever have one of those days
where you wanna pack it up
and walk away
from everything
feel like you're gonna crash
going nowhere fast
chorus-
that's when i hit my knees
take in all the beauty surrounding me
and i realize how lucky i am
to be breathing
gods got a plan
so i let go the stress
put my life in his hands
and i know that i'm blessed
every step backwards is just another test
but i'll always believe
that gods watching over me
verse 2-
they say tough times don't last
but tough...

Tryin To Get Over You
verse 1-
standing there as the rain fell down
here eyes glued to the ground
as she said she was leaving
i felt my heart break into pieces
but i just smiled
and said if you gotta go
then just know
chorus-
if the wind ever blows you back around
to this sleepy town
i'll leave the light on
you know where i keep the key
and you know where to find me
i'll be out here talkin to the man on the moon
tryin to get over you
verse 2-
honey don't start to cry
dry those eyes
hey i get it
go on and be free
spread...

To You
Verse 1-
I'm getting older now
I can see the laugh lines on my face
I guess that's the price you pay
For living a life full of joy
Making mistakes along the way
I sure traveled my own path
But I never looked back
Chorus-
I lived my life to the fullest
Been a fool a few times
I've crossed that line
Between heaven and hell
But I always got back up after I fell
I've been broke and bruised
With all the shit I've been through
But it all lead me right here
To you
Verse 2-
I've got scars
More than I can count...
I'm getting older now
I can see the laugh lines on my face
I guess that's the price you pay
For living a life full of joy
Making mistakes along the way
I sure traveled my own path
But I never looked back
Chorus-
I lived my life to the fullest
Been a fool a few times
I've crossed that line
Between heaven and hell
But I always got back up after I fell
I've been broke and bruised
With all the shit I've been through
But it all lead me right here
To you
Verse 2-
I've got scars
More than I can count...
