These Homesick Songs 03:07

These Homesick Songs It's 3 am in the dark of night, so I put my mind to work cause it's time to ride gotta make it home before it gets light, so I can crawl in bed beside my wife 3 hours left on this dark highway, with only snow drift to light my way My eye's are weak and my body's tired just a few more miles just a few more miles Cause you can't fight dreams and you can't fight love, but to see em' both through is hard enough Been on the road for so damn long with the radio playin' these homesick songs This is the life I chose to live so one more day I gotta give, with plenty more miles that I've gotta go, tell this yellow line takes me home This is the life I chose to live the road is now my cruel mistress, no matter where I have to roam, I will always make my way back home I can see the haze of the city lights, welcoming me back again this time her cracked sidewalks and city streets, call my name like a steady heart beat been 46 hours since I slept last, I wanna feel my bed against my back I wanna see my wife smile so wide, cause when I left I seen her cry Cause you can't fight dreams and you can't fight love, but to see em' both through is hard enough Been on the road for so damn long, with the radio playin' these homesick songs

Better Days 02:58
lyrics

Better Days I try an wade through the waters so deep, but I just keep sinking with every move it seems, I try get up just to fall back down, maybe it's time I stop, and see where I am bound Don't wait for me, don't wait for me I'm to drunk now and I'll never make it home Just lie to me, just lie to me say it's alright and your fine on your own Don't let me see, don't let me see those tears if they fall I just don't wanna know Cause I try and be,cause I try and be The man you deserve but most times I'm a fool

Six String Dreams 03:25
lyrics

Six String Dreams Thank you boy's for all those times, I wouldn't be who I am now with out that life I know your mad and that's okay, I'd be mad to if it was me in your place But my time is up and I've got to go, turns out I gotta do this on my own So thank you boy's for all those time Like that time I fell flat, flat upon my face cause I got to drunk at 10 am we we're climbing rocks along the beach and I broke two fingers and could barely play bass Or like that time we got so high, wondered off into the woods adventures on our mind I'm so surprised we came back alive, hanging out by water falls in the middle of the night I was living day to day, I was chasing dreams with only six strings Or like that time we got chased, chased by the cops, for drinkin' with those Aussies along the roof tops Sneaking though alleys tryin' to get away, hiding out in bathrooms in hotels we never paid Or like that time that Peter Munro died, it was the same night we played our last goodbye and at the funeral we seen what we missed, the Peter we knew was not the same kid

That's Fine With Me 06:10
lyrics

That's Fine With Me People tell me this will be nothing, I say that's fine with me I'm gonna play this guitar tell the day I die no matter how long that maybe Cause I know where I've been I know what I've done and I know what i've got to say And I don't worry much about how this will end I just play cause I love to play So I thank my friends for puttin' up with me no matter how bad I ever got Cause I've been down that road one or twice, man they've seen that face alot And I thank my wife for loving me no matter who I ever was cause it'd make your toes curl my friend if ya knew some shit I done Gonna take my time right to the end tell what to do, I just don't listen think of me what you will it don't matter to me I've done my way for so long now, I can't look back untell I'm 6 feet down I can't look back I'm to far in and that's where I wanna be I'm a slave to my own devices now cause there all that I can see So I'll pick myself up as many times as it's gotta be And I'll dust myself off untell I'm the very dust I see So when I'm dead and gone to those ashes that I'll be Just pick me up and carry me to the waters in the sea Drop me in and let me go but please don't cry for me Just wear a smile a pawn your face cause I'm where I wanna be
