Workhorse

Oh, I Remember
I recall
all the times that you thought
I'd fall down
but look at me now
my back is straight
My chin is up
My eyes are wide open
No, I can't feel your hate

I sometimes forget
what I'm supposed to do
but give me a day
I'll find a way on through
Don't try to pin me down
don't you try to bind my wrists
No you've never seen a workhorse, baby
Nothin' quite like this

Whisper On The Wind

Another light turned off
the room got a little darker
another star burned out
sends its life showering down
it hits you in the back
No way to see it coming
So when I die, don't cry for me
hold the ones in need around you

The love was lost
been gone for so long
we built this all up
just to have it torn from our arms
We can't let this one thing
decide who we are
Like a whisper on the wind
It's gone before you know it

I lost my friend
left way too goddamn soon
another mind was closed
left for the dark side of the moon
we must push on through
to find our way
If we don't we'll be consumed
by the memory of yesterday

Another light turned off
the room got a little darker
another star burned out
sends its life showering down
it hits you in the back
No way to see it coming
So when I die, don't cry for me
hold the ones in need around you

Locomotive

So here we are
this same old place
with every mile I go
I forget another face

so there we go
on down this country road
with heaven above
and our feet below

So here we are
This same old place we were before
With every mile I go
I forget what I'm driving for

And there we go
Chasin' a dream
Like a locomotive baby
Gaining steam

So here we are
This same Old place
With every mile, after mile
I forgot another face

And there we go
Chasin' a dream
like a Locomotive baby
aining steam

Mixed Signals

I don't know where your mind's at girl
Tell me what you really want
You say one thing and you do another
say you'll hit me up and then you don't

Yeah you're givin' me mixed signals
I can't tell if you want me back or not
I will be your sweet baby
but baby you gotta give me a shot

Give me a sign now, pretty mama
do you want me at all?
(Should I give up - just give up and move on?)
I keep puttin myself out there girl
you keep building up walls

Yeah you're givin' me mixed signals honey
I can't tell if you want me back or not
I will be your sweet baby
but baby you gotta give me a shot

Hole In My Coat

The rats are all racing
and I'm off dream chasing
and goddamn it's taken its toll
The bank says I'm broke
got a hole in my coat
but goddamn it's good for the soul

Take me in, put me up
The cold wind's a'blowin
and every breath cuts to the bone
Let me in, Just for a while
I don't have no money
but I'll sing you a song about home

My guitar and my jacket
had more stuff but didn't pack it
these six stings are keepin' me whole
I just needed time to make up my mind
but now I've gone back to the road

Take me in, put me up
The cold wind's a'blowin
and every breath cuts to the bone
Let me in, Just for a while
I don't have no money
but I'll sing you a song about home

Screaming Amazing Grace

Smoke From The Fire goes into the sky
And Brings On a Tear From God's eye.
Champagne clouds and whiskey dreams
this life ain't easy as it seems
The hour is late and the sun's going down
The Rocky Mountain's golden crown
My eyes close as the stars come out
no doubt in my mind this is what it's about

I been on the road now for over a year
All I know about home is that it ain't here
i been rattlin' on like an auctioneer
all I know about home is that it ain't here

And when I dream, I always see her face
Although it seems I cannot name this place
Every single night, the steps that I retrace
lead me right back to the scene of my disgrace

It's been three long years since you closed your eyes
my baby's asleep on the hillside
The day you died, I made up my mind
I'd burn it down, leave it all behind

Feels like a hundred years since she went away
buried in the Colorado clay
In the dead of night, I took her life
with the pale moonlight shining on my knife
Word at the bar was she was gettin' around
Had another man in another town
In a fit of rage, Lord, I went insane
and left her lyin' in the fast lane

And when I dream I always see your face
It takes me back to that cursed time and place
You start to scream and all I hear is amazing grace
can't be redeemed, now I long for your embrace

I been on the road now for too damn long
she done me dirty and I done her wrong
I been on the road now for too damn long
he done me dirty and I done her wrong
