Thinkin bout a life with some children and a wife
made my way to Tennessee.
Roamin all around, "Do I wanna settle down
or go to see what I can see?"
Thinkin bout the road, pacin to and fro
hoping I can just get free.
The snowy roads are keeping me down
but baby I'll be coming around.
I hear you're in Michigan.
Jesus, can you let me go
up to Michigan?
See her for a minute or so?
Let me in your arms.
let me see your heart.
Let me in so I can see
you in Michigan.
Been to Oklahoma, Lived in Pennsylvania
Travelled cross the USA.
Talked to friends and family, strangers and enemies
just to see what they would say.
Talked a lot to God, asked Him what He thought
Heard Him as He lit my way.
200 Miles are keeping me down,
but baby I'll be coming around.
I hear you're in Michigan.
Jesus, can you let me go
up to Michigan?
See her for a minute or so?
Let me in your arms.
let me see your heart.
Let me in so I can see
you in Michigan.
Learnin from the road, seven days to home
staying out all night and day.
Single set of clothes and heaven only knows,
praying things will go my way.
Countin down the hours, thinkin how I miss her,
Soon I'm gonna see her face.
I hear you're in Michigan.
Jesus, can you let me go
up to Michigan?
See her for a minute or so?
Let me in your arms.
let me see your heart.
Let me in so I can see
you in Michigan.

He'll Fly

6 in the morning that alarm clock goes
two over-easy eggs and buttered toast
quick shower suit and tie and on his way
just like the start of any other day
Turn the Key and hit the gas
runnin late so he pulls out fast
and he'll fly for now
He'll fly
soaring soaring
He'll fly for now
See you some other morning
Gets to his meeting there at 7:01
Boss says, 'that's a pretty good way to lose your job son'
He thinks how he can't wait to leave today
get home to see the kids, get on his way
Play a backyard football game
kiss his wife hello again
He'll fly for now
He'll fly
soaring, soaring
He'll fly for now
See you some other morning
Car swerved, quick turn,
Now I lost control
That crash took my life away
Now I can't see my family again
Now that SUV is a mangled wreck
There's no escaping now
Red and Blue flashing lights show
the fiery, smoky shroud
Prays, "God, forgive me now
He'll fly for now
He'll fly
soaring, soaring
He'll fly for now
See you some other morning

Ghosts

Walkin cross the room I feel an overwhelming presence come behind me
Didn't quite know why until I glanced away from everything that I see
I can never get away
I can't find the words to say
That will bring me peace enough to stand and stay
it was this house
it was this room
this is the place where all the good and bad came from me and you
it was this town
it was this coast
where the sunset came and forced my eyes to close
no I can never get away with peace to boast
because of these ghosts
at the party, at the bar, with my family, in my car you always haunt me
at my job, and at the park. doesn't matter light or dark I never get free
you refuse to go away
you won't stay in yesterday
and let me move along with my today
it was this house
it was this room
this is the place where all the good and bad came from me and you
it was this town
it was this coast
where the sunset came and forced my eyes to close
no I can never get away with peace to boast
because of these ghosts
I hurt and ache and hide myself
stash my feelings on a shelf
cause everyone is just numb to see
me
damn these walls
damn this room
I can never get away from you
it was this couch
it was this room
this is the place where all the good and bad came from me and you
it was this town
it was this coast
where the sunset came and forced my eyes to close
no I can never get away with peace to boast
because of these ghosts

Never Back Down

Five Miles running in thin air
hit the bag and sprint the stairs
knowing I'll out-train him yet.
Boxing, clenching, wrestling, kicking
all the while my body thinning
pretty soon I'll be all set
Climbing in the ring tonight
ring the bell and start the fight
cause I
Never Give up, Never Back down!
gonna win the fight, gonna make a sound.
Knock me down or back me up
best believe you're outta luck cause I
Never Give up, Never Back Down!
Jack and Jim have been my demons
can't out-run em just cant beat em
Lord in Heaven knows I've tried
AA, 12-step, trying sober
One night out and it's all over
wife found out, she ran and cried.
Climbing in the ring tonight
ring the bell and start the fight
cause I
Never Give up, Never Back down!
gonna win the fight, gonna make a sound.
Knock me down or back me up
best believe you're outta luck cause I
Never Give up, Never Back Down!
Doctor found a spot today
ran the tests I heard him say
"Only 4 months left to live."
Sat right back and hugged my wife,
"Could this really end my life?"
Time to give all I can give.
Take my Pride and take my hair
poke me here and prod me there
Climbing in the ring tonight
ring the bell and start the fight
cause I
Never Give up, Never Back down!
gonna win the fight, gonna make a sound.
Knock me down or back me up
best believe you're outta luck cause I
Never Give up, Never Back Down!

Nothing Can Compare

I Met a girl from florida with the sunshine in her eyes
Some Pennsylvania women making mean dutch apple pies
Some new York City Singers, working hard to hit the stage
I kept my heart roaming around, till you walked through my town
I picked a peach in Georgia Heard a song in Tennessee
The sun in Carolina let me know that I was free
The Fall in Pennsylvania for my soul it was a treat
But nothing can compare to how I feel when you’re with me
You were young and restless with a fire in your soul
A laugh to take my cares away and keep me on a roll
A freeway freebird spirit that knocked me off my feet
You kept your heart roaming around till you walked through my town
I picked a peach in Georgia Heard a song in Tennessee
The sun in Carolina let me know that I was free
The Fall in Pennsylvania for my soul it was a treat
But nothing can compare to how I feel when you’re with me
I travelled all across this land, cross the good ol’ USA
The Colorado mountains left me wonderin what to say
The open plains in Kansas were a sight for tired eyes
But you walked in and touched my heart, and made me realize
I picked a peach in Georgia Heard a song in Tennessee
The sun in Carolina let me know that I was free
The Fall in Pennsylvania for my soul it was a treat
But nothing can compare to how I feel when you’re with me
