Bless The Broken Road

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
-yes he did

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true

Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lovers arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Feels Like Today

I woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me, that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried, been carried away, away
But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, can save me my time is coming
I'll find my way out
Of this longest drought

Chorus:
And it feels like today, I know
It feels like today, I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing
The one thing I'm wishing
The last sacred blessing
And hey, feels like today
Feels like today

You treat life like a picture
But it's not a moment that's frozen in time
It's not gonna wait till you make up my mind, at all
So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
I'll keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break

Chorus:
And it feels like today, I know
Feels like today, I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing
The one thing you're wishing
The last sacred blessing and hey
Feels like today
Feels like today

Here's To You

They got three in the front and four in the back of a civic
Camped out all night on the sidewalk just to get tickets
With their hands on the fence in the back by the buses and the limousines
Just to get a glimpse of a drummer or a singer yeah anything
And they come from miles around
For that moment when the lights go out they scream

Chorus:
It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air and you guys up there
You're the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you

There's a super tall blonde trying to sweet talk her way backstage
There's a mom and a dad in the aisle not acting their age
There's a wet corvette red lipstick print on a Coors Light cup
And judging by the way she's dancing I'd say she's had enough
The guitars come alive
And you make us want to stay all night when you scream
Chorus:
It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air and you guys up there
You're the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you

Chorus:
It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air and you guys up there
You're the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you

I Melt

When you light those candles
Up there on that mantel, setting the mood
well, I just lie there staring
Silently preparing to love on you
well, I can feel the heat from across the room
Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do

Chorus
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt

Don't know how you do it
I love the way I lose it, every time
Whats even better
Is knowing that forever you're all mine
The closer you get, the more my body aches
One little stare from you is all it takes

Chorus 2x
I melt every time you look at me that way
It never fails, anytime, any place
This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt
I melt

Every time you look at me the way
I melt, I melt

I'm Movin' On

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm movin' on

I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

Prayin' For Daylight

(I dont wanna spend another lonely night oooh)
I’ve got the lights turned up
The door is locked, the bedroom TV’s on
Doing the only thing that gets me through the night
Since you’ve been gone

Prayin’ for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain’t going wrong
Baby come back to me, I swear I’ll make it right
Don’t make me spend another lonely night
Prayin’ for daylight
(Prayin’ for daylight)

I made a bad miscalculation
Betting you would never leave (never leave)
‘Cause if you’re getting on with your new life.
Then where does that leave me

Prayin’ for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain’t going wrong
Baby come back to me, I swear I’ll make it right
Don’t make me spend another lonely night
Prayin’ for daylight
(Prayin’ for daylight)

Prayin’ for daylight
(Prayin’ for daylight)

Prayin’ for daylight
Hoping that I didn’t wait too long
(I didn’t wait too long)
That this is just the dark before the dawn

Deep in my heart I know
That you love me as much as I love you ( you know i love you girl)
And that you must be lying somewhere
Looking up to Heaven too

Prayin’ for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain’t going wrong
Baby come back to me, I swear I’ll make it right
Don’t make me spend another lonely night ( dont make me speand another lonely night)
Prayin’ for daylight
(Prayin’ for daylight)

Prayin’ for daylight, waiting for that morning sun
So I can act like my whole life ain’t going wrong
Baby come back to me, I swear I’ll make it right
Don’t make me spend another lonely night
Prayin’ for daylight
(Prayin’ for daylight)

Prayin’ for daylight
I don’t want to spend another lonely night
I don’t want to spend another lonely night
(Prayin’ for daylight)
Prayin’ for daylight
I don’t want to spend another lonely night
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo, Oooo
Prayin’ for daylight

Skin

Sara Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well, since the day that she fell
And the bruise it just won't go away

So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
And flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with the smile stands in the door
And says will you please come with me

Sara Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white, something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten, it won't come back again
With the therapy we're gonna try
It's just been approved, it's the strongest there is
And I think that we caught it in time
And Sara Beth closes her eyes.

Chorus:she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair

Sara Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For just this morning, right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny
And Sara Beth closes her eyes

Chorus:
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And a soft wind is blowing her hair

Bridge
It's quarter to seven, that boy's at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all started to cry
Cause this morning where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancing, around and around
Without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared

The Day Before You

I had all but given up
On finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was on the day before you

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
It makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
Oh, but Heaven knows those years without you
Were shapin' my heart for the day that I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you-
yeah, yeah

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never goin' back
No, I'm never goin' back

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
Yeah, I will never have to go back to
The day before you, the day before you

These Days

Hey baby, is that you?
Wow your hair got so long
Yeah, yeah I love it, I really do
Norma Jean, ain't that the song we'd sing in the car
Driving down town, top down
Making the rounds
Checking out the bands on Doheny Ave.

Yeah, life throws you curves
But you learned to swerve
Me, I swung and I missed
And the next thing you know
I'm reminiscin'
Dreamin' old dreams
Wishing old wishes, like you would be back again

I wake up and teardrops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to
And then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed, dream of you
That's what I'm doing these days

Someone told me
After college, you ran off to Vegas
and married a rodeo cowboy, wow
That ain't the girl I knew
Me, I've been a few places
Mostly here and there, once or twice
Still sorting out life but I'm doing alright
Yeah it's good to see you too

Well hey girl, you're late
And those planes they don't wait
But if you ever come back around
This sleepy old town
Promise me you'll stop in
To see an old friend
But until then...

I wake up and teardrops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to
And then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just in case
Go to bed, dream of you
That's what I'm doing these days

I wake up and teardrops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone just in case
Go to bed dream of you that's what I'm doing these....

I wake up and teardrops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to
And then...

I wake up and teardrops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to
And then...

What Hurts The Most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most was being
so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do

While You Loved Me

If I ever write the story of my life
Don't be suprised if you're where it begins
Girl, I'd have to dedicate every line on every page
To the memories we made, while you loved me

I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
While you loved me

I'd start with chapter one, love innocent and young
As the morning sun on a new day
Even though I know the end, Well I'd do it all again
‘Cause I got a lifetime in, while you loved me

I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
While you loved me

I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived)
I was born the day you kissed me
And I died inside the night you left me
But I lived, oh how I lived
(I lived) While you loved me
