Headed For the Rain 04:00
lyrics

Every time I think life’s so sweet I climb that hill and its not so steep One thing that you always find We’re all we got so we gotta be kind And I realize I’ve got more time I got things that I wanna do But I’ll remember to think of you This road is taking me to where I should be I’m headed for the rain I’m headed for the rain There’s nowhere to hide And I say I don’t mind I’m headed for the rain Every time I take a look these days No wonder things change in the strangest ways Some pray for rain its true If I knew better it would make me blue And I realize just like paradise Dark clouds can hide the sun A little rain never hurt no one This road is taking me where I should be This road is taking me where I need to be

Home Again 04:23
lyrics
buy track
I'm tired of waking up in the cold Take a glance at my face in a mirror and see that I'm getting old Speeding time and wasted time carried me away I need to find some peace of mind these days Home, I need a home again A place to rest my soul, not just my head Home, I'm going home again A man can break or he can bend Walking down a narrow road that seems to never end Al this time it feels like I been wrestling with a ghost I’m gonna head to the ones I love the most Passing by electric lines stretching along the highways Singing songs of drifters and loners running sideways Always looking for something more I've seen the same billboards and barns a thousand times before The evening sun reflecting down carries me away I'm gonna find some peace of mind these days

Patsy Cline Life 03:42
lyrics
buy track
It ain't like I wanted it this way And it ain't like she ever said she'd stay It don't seem right, she won't give me no say And she says it's gonna be, gonna be this way When she leaves, it's always a Patsy Cline night Now she's gone I'm livin' my Patsy Cline life Lonely in the rain I go out walking after midnight She leaves she leaves me with my Patsy Cline life. Maybe her man he don't even exist Still she says that I might be on his list If she don't leave on time she's sure she'll be missed And I ain’t so sure I’ll keep on, keep on taking this Cocaine can't be no worse for me Benzedrine makes it harder to see A two-dollar gun at the end of the street I’ll be taken away with no one, no one to grieve.

Perfect Blue Monday 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Perfect blue Monday The sun always seems to shine Inside my window at quarter to nine Daylight shining With rumors of glory But I think I’ll just stay in bed Perfect blue Monday Clean sheets always feel so fine Under the covers beneath the water line Blue blue morning Like sitting on cloud nine I think I’ll just stay in bed After the sun leaves town And time drags and drags I’ll catch the rays floating down Perfect blue Monday Its available for free I might get moving, who knows, we’ll see I may be lazy It doesn’t concern me Think I’ll stay in bed

Amelia Take Me Away 04:31
lyrics
buy track
A long time ago When we both were five years old The rhythm in our rhymes Like a tapestry of time How you gonna see What you meant to me Back in those days when we were free Amelia down by the river Amelia so cold we shiver Amelia take me away Amelia shake and shiver Amelia down by the river Back to our sweet yesterdays The light’s on by the door Can’t stay out any more They call me inside I wish that we could hide You can be my best friend I’ll be your pal until the end Dry your tears and we’ll pretend A kite in a tree A message left for me Everything was fine Then things went out of line You were moving away I had something left to say Can’t find the words at that age I never can explain The roots that still remain I carry you about You’re the bottle that pours me out Always in your prime Companion of mine All those years, all that time
