Walk:

Yeah I gotta walk

I gotta do what feels right
Yeah I gotta Walk

Gotta wander till I die

Well yes it sounds absurd to you

but I’ll be a better man by the time I’m through

I gotta walk

Yeah I gotta drive

These Canadian highways through

Yeah I gotta drive

Watch the cities pass me by

Now yes I fell in love with you

but I still gotta go I need something new

I gotta walk

Well this itchy, crazy, feelings got me stirring in side

When I see you on that stage I watch my heart flutter by

Well I know that you are leaving I know you can’t stay

But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy each others company

24 weeks on down the road

I’ll see you again but for now I know

You gotta walk

Yeah I gotta walk

I’m done with suffering and strife

Yeah I gotta walk

Right back into your life

Well Sixteen shots of whiskey ago

I think I realized but now I know

You gotta walk

Travelin’ Man:

Well he’s my travelin’ man

And he does what he can

Yes he’s my travelin’ man

He makes me feel like a real woman

Yeah he was born for the road

Never does what he’s told

Yeah he’s my travelin’ man

He’s the best damn thing that I’ve ever seen

Well he walks around the room on the edge of his shoes

He’s witty like the devil boy can sing the blues

Like fire in the darkness he can light up a room

He’s my man and I know he ain’t going home with you

Yes he’s my travelin’ man

And he does what he can

Yes he’s my travelin’ man

You know he makes me feel like a real woman

He can’t be bought or sold

Carries a heavy load

Yes he’s my travelin’ man

He provides for me honey like no other man can

Well I can see it in his eyes he’s got that state of mind

When he loses his temper he must go blind

He’s not the kind of fella that would give up to soon

The man’s gotta a charm, can make anyone swoon

When he smiles at me feels like I’m the only one in the room

Yes he’s my travelin’ man

And he does what he can

Yes he’s my travelin’ man

You know he makes me feel like a real woman

4 Leaf Clover:

Find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is runnin’ out

Show me the light at the end of the tunnel cuz the darkness feeds my doubts

So find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is running out

Take me down to where nobody’s around, uh huh

Sing me a song I can sing along, uh huh

Well I made my bed I gotta lye in it, uh huh

So take your time and make sweet love to me baby

Find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is runnin’ out

Show me the light at the end of the tunnel cuz the darkness feeds my doubts

Don’t bury me in the ground I want my ashes scattered about

So find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is running out

This rhythm and rhyme well it make you stomp you feet, uh huh

It’s a battle cry for those who can not speak, uh huh

It’s blasphemy to walk away from the weak, uh huh

So do your best to fight this agony, baby.

Find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is runnin’ out

Show me the light at the end of the tunnel cuz the darkness feeds my doubts

So find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is running out

This time I won’t back down, uh huh

This time you will be mine, uh huh

Find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is runnin’ out

Show me the light at the end of the tunnel cuz the darkness feeds my doubts

Don’t bury me in the ground I want my ashes scattered about

So find me a four leaf clover cuz my luck is running out

Sober (Is too hard to stay):

Well I like to drink

And I like to fight

And I like to smoke them big fat cigars

Outside the honky tonks and bars

My pay cheques comin’ and I’m gonna drink my blues away

Like a stone that grows no moss

I keep on rollin’ even though I’m lost

I tend to drink my blues away

Cuz sober is too hard to stay

Well I like to drink

And I like to flirt

And I’d like to find a gal who doesn’t look at me and see a dollar sign

Hanging in the poor house is where she’d have me be

Like a stone that grows no moss

I keep on rollin’ even though I’m lost

I tend to drink my blues away

Cuz sober is too hard to stay

Well I like to toke

Hey I like the smoke

Yeah I’m waiting for the day that I’m finally free

this vice don’t have a grip on me

I’ve found my solace and I’d like to take you here with me

Like a stone that grows no moss

I keep on rollin’ even though I’m lost

I tend to drink my blues away

Cuz sober is too hard to stay

Well I like to drink and I like to fight and I like to smoke...

Long Road:

Seems I’ve been travelin’ for days on end

Hopin’ the next stop sign might bring it to an end

40 days and 40 night feels like 40 years

and my body’s still craving to have you near

Baby it’s a long road it’s a hard road

and it seems I’m going nowhere

baby it a long road it’s a hard road

But it leads back to you

Baby it a long road it’s a hard road

Life speeds right by you

Baby it’s a hard road it’s a long road

But it leads back to you

I wanna go home but the next city calls me on

I follow the dance I follow the drink I follow the song

For those good people who work hard everyday

Yeah they work hard but they sure know how to play

Baby it’s a long road it’s a hard road

and it seems I’m going nowhere

baby it a long road it’s a hard road

But it leads back to you

Baby it a long road it’s a hard road

Life speeds right by you

Baby it’s a hard road it’s a long road

But it leads back to you

I’m coming home with stories to tell

I’m coming home I’m gonna drive like hell

Baby it’s a long road it’s a hard road

and it seems I’m going nowhere

baby it a long road it’s a hard road

But it leads back to you

Baby it a long road it’s a hard road

Life speeds right by you

Baby it’s a hard road it’s a long road

But it leads back to you

Come with me baby:

Well I’m headed down to Memphis

Gonna do what I can

Gonna walk on the water

Gonna find the promised land

Gonna break in my boots

With that sweet dust and sand

From the road less traveled

From the places I’ve been

Come with me baby. Please take my hand

Come with me baby. You got to understand

This road that I’ve traveled has left this soul half hearted

Well I’m headed down to Nashville

Gonna do what I can

Gonna hang out with Johnny

Gonna see the promised land

I’ll waltz in the room

With my head held up high

Gonna make a couple changes

gonna watch the change of tides

Come with me baby. Please take my hand

Come with me baby. You got to understand

This road that I’ve traveled has left this soul half hearted

Lucinda:

Well he’s floating down the river

Got two things on his mind

Gambling coursing through his veins

And the woman he left behind

He’s paralyzed with fear

Vision isn’t clear

And still he travels a lonely road

That lead away from her

Lucinda don’t you see he wants your company

He’d sail across the sands of time to fall at your feet

Scars are left to show the past was real

Lucinda watch the hands of time decide your destiny

Lucinda don’t you see

Your house of cards are falling all around me

When Oscar was a boy he lost his mother dear

His fathers iron fist drove him further to the west

They’ll pray for many nights

They’ll pray for many more

His safe return will never come

His journey had begun

Lucinda don’t you see he wants your company

He’d sail across the sands of time to fall at your feet

Scars are left to show the past was real

Lucinda watch the hands of time decide your destiny

Lucinda don’t you see

Your house of cards are falling all around me

He appears a little slow

But the boy he ain’t a fool

What you think and what you know

Are two different points of view

Defy all their rules

Be as bold as they are cruel

For innocent games can change the minds and lives

Of innocent fools

Lucinda don’t you see he wants your company

He’d sail across the sands of time to fall at your feet

Scars are left to show the past was real

Lucinda watch the hands of time decide your destiny

Lucinda don’t you see

Lucinda can’t you see

Lucinda can you see

Your house of cards are falling all around me

Drifting:

I’m growing restless

Feels like a bombs gone off inside my head

I can’t help hearing what they say

And I don’t believe it anyway

And I want to run

I just can’t hide

Projected light from broken eyes

And I’m drifting from the shore

At the break of dawn

Can a man realize what he has before it’s gone

You’re such a fragile little thing

Angel watch me know

Gabriel take my crown of thorns

And the smoke that billows from your lungs

Like a dying breath from a dragons tongue

With a grip so tight you could pierce my skin

I crave to hear feel that pain again

And I’m drifting from the shore

At the break of dawn

Can a man realize what he has before it’s gone

You’re such a fragile little thing

Last Dance:

I’ve never felt so numb before

I feel like I’m not alive

I wanna run so far away but I’m swinging legless at the bar tonight

That last drink went right to my head

Now I’m walking the streets alone

I kindda wish I heard nothing you said

Cuz it cuts right to the bone like...

Heartbreak is inevitable in life

You can hide behind a smile but you try

Your tongue hurts from chain smoking cigarettes

And the taste of vodka that sticks to your breath

This last dance around the floor

I swear I’m not trusting a word you say anymore

I’ve never felt so numb before

Red wine bottles line the floor

I’m so caught up in your mess and no I wont wear that yellow dress

That last stint out in Ottawa you left my heart on the hotel floor

I guess I’ll go down to the river tonight

Smoke me a joint try to forget this night.

Heartbreak is inevitable in life

You can hide behind a smile but you try

Your tongue hurts from chain smoking cigarettes

And the taste of vodka that sticks to your breath

This last dance around the floor

I swear I’m not trusting a word you say anymore

I’ve never felt so numb before

Will I ever find a cure

Well I lost my hat got into a fight

I broke a couple hearts and disappeared into the night

Like broken bottles

And broken glass

and broken dreams

that were suppose to last

Heartbreak is inevitable in life

You can hide behind a smile but you try

Your tongue hurts from chain smoking cigarettes

And the taste of vodka that sticks to your breath

This last dance around the floor

I swear I’m not trusting a word you say anymore

Train Song:

The full moon is rising

I’m jumping that train

Baby don’t get to close I ain’t comin’ back again

I can see that train coming

Barreling full steam ahead

Ambitions tied to the tracks

I’ve left them for dead

I can hear that train coming

It’s coming after me

Can you hear that lonely whistle

And it’s soothing cry to be free

The full moon is rising

I’m jumping that train

Baby don’t get to close I ain’t comin’ back again

I can smell that train comin’

Pushing round the air

Hot steel and coal aroused my soul

So I follow it there

I can feel that train comin’

It’s rattling my bones

That chug-ed-y chug

Way deep down in my soul

The full moon is rising

I’m jumping that train

Baby don’t get to close I ain’t comin’ back again

The full moon is rising

I’m jumpin’ that train

Baby you can’t tie me down cuz I move like the rain

Move like the rain...like the rain

I can see that train comin

I can hear that train comin

I can smell that train comin

I can feel that train comin

It’s comin after me

The full moon is rising and it’s easy to see

That train is coming down the tracks and it’s

Headed straight for me

Blueberry Eyes:

It was St. Clair West, mid July

I felt kind-da heady and my mouth was dry

Right out the gate I fell for you

But the timing was off, ain’t that the truth

For this time we must part

Yeah got and let me tend to my broken heart

Enough time had pasted and

Now I finally know

When the skies tore open

And my veins ran cold

you left me there under the cherry tree

and I felt my soul outside of me

Hey you with the blueberry eyes

And the fire in your belly

The wind by your side, oh oh by your side

All this time we were apart

Yeah it’s funny what a year can do to a heart

The things I’ve learned the person I want to be

The good people who inspire me

I made you chase my mysterious ways

Yeah you showed up once or twice during an awful phase

Don’t you dare think you’re a convince for me

There ain’t nothing convenient about the way things have to be

Enough time had pasted and

Now I finally know

When the skies tore open

And my veins ran cold

you left me there under the cherry tree

and I felt my soul outside of me

Hey you with the blueberry eyes

And the fire in your belly

The wind by your side, oh oh by your side

Calling out, out your name

Calling out, out in vein

Well I felt my presence in your heart

Denied myself a chance to start

I’ve woken now from this dream with a burning sense of anxiety

You know my past I know yours

So come sail away to new distant shores

Enough time had pasted and

Now I finally know

When the skies tore open

And my veins ran cold

you left me there under the cherry tree

and I felt my soul outside of me

Hey you with the blueberry eyes

And the fire in your belly

The wind by your side, oh oh by your side
