"1,000 Miles"

"1,000 Miles"



Runway four, flight 209
Teardrop falls, we start to climb
This window seat proved a poor choice
It shows the dream that's been destroyed

A little baby starts to cry
Hey, I would too, if not for pride
I owe so much to pride, it's true
It brought an end to me and you

But if I could, I'd turn around
Set my feet back on the ground
'Cause all this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery

I hear the engines, watch the clouds
The whole damn world looks distant now
But I can't seem to put no space
Between my cold heart and your sweet face

Across the aisle they're holding hands
Revealing brand new wedding bands
But our sweet gold, it's gone to rust
Now my life has turned to dust

But if I could, I'd turn around
Set my feet back on the ground
'Cause all this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery
All this plane ride holds for me
Is a thousand miles of misery

"3 Pears"

"3 Pears"



3 pears of glasses
3 pears of shades
3 pears of other things, all there in space
3 pears of shoe-less feet,
Dream mindless thoughts
3 pears of wishes for all that you want

That means where you are is where you at
When your head is cold, to put on a hat
If you can’t recall, just remember that
To wear 3 pears of shades, 3 pears of glasses
3 pears of shaded
3 pears of other things, all there in space
All they’re in spades
3 pairs of shoe-less feet,
Dream mindless thoughts
3 pairs of wishes for all that you want

All I want for you is happiness
All I have to give is nothing l
ess than more than one or two more
3 pears of glasses
3 pears of shades
3 pears of other things, all there in space
3 pairs of shoe-less feet,
Dream mindless thoughts
3 pairs of wishes for all that you want
3 pairs of wishes for all that you want

"A Heart Like Mine"

"A Heart Like Mine"



I saw you coming, you saw me
And took off running
Shells in your eye,
What in disguise
I wonder why you never try
To understand a heart like mine

Oh I didn’t waste any time
'Cause I love, I’ll have to find
So is what you see
You’re in love, belong to me
Oh I, I wonder why you never try
To understand a heart like mine

Oh I, I wonder why you never try
To understand a heart like mine
Oh I, I wonder why you never try
To understand a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like mine
A heart like mine, a heart like
A heart, a heart like
A heart, a heart, a heart like
A heart like mine, a heart like mine

"A Long Way Home"

"A Long Way Home"



Don't look inside
No, don't look there
'Cause you might find
Yourself somewhere

Walkin' 'round
Lost and alone
Without one clue
That it's a long way home

Years and years
Is a lot of time
To drag your heart across
Every rock you find
Hate is deep
And its pull is strong
But the passion's short
Then it's a long way home

I can't take
One single step for you
But I might just help
To find some small pathway through

Don't look back
'Cause you might see
Just how far
All that used to be

Just let your mind
Think on what's gone
And then you'll know
That it's a long way home

Yeah, you'll know
That it's a long way home

You'll find out
That it's a long way home

There ain't no doubt
That it's a long way home

"A Place To Cry"

"A Place To Cry"


What I'm looking for is all I need
'Cause what I've wanted most is some space between
Her heart and mine
Which sure ain't no small chore to find

What I get will lead to what I do
I just hope that's not later than it's soon
Or else all night
I'll be up again alright
'Cause what I straight up need to score
Is a place to cry

[BRIDGE:]
I don't need a lot
Just some quiet spot
That won't stain from tears
Please, I'd rather not
See us both get caught
With cleaning up that could take years

This ain't over until once it's through
But once more's twice as much as I can use
Or care to try
For my eyes to get dry
'Cause man the fix I need right now
Is a place to cry

[BRIDGE]

What starts hurting worst is not as strong
As the aches that happen next, then before long
It passes by
But not until I want to die
'Cause what I'm strung out for
Is a place to cry

Yeah, what I'm jonesin' for right now
Is a place to cry

"A Promise You Can't Keep"

"A Promise You Can't Keep"


I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep

[BRIDGE:]
A statement that's been so used
I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say
I could have threatened leavin'
Or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay

Three little words should be my warning
'Cause I know that's a promise you can't keep

Three little words should be my warning
'Cause I know that's a promise you can't keep

I heard you swear your love this morning

"A Thousand Miles from Nowhere"

"A Thousand Miles from Nowhere"



I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I

Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I

I've got bruises on my memory
I've got tear stains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I want to be

Oh, I

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere

I'm a thousand
I'm a thousand

"A World Of Blue"

"A World Of Blue"


Green, green leaves falling down
From the tops of tall, tall trees
Touch ground near what just might be the single clue

Red, red drops that drip out
From the bottom of my heart
Must mean that I'm living in a world of blue

[BRIDGE:]
There's not one golden sign
That the sun will ever shine
Even the clouds have assumed a darker hue
That fact that daylight's only trace
Reflects off tear streaks across my face
Must mean that I'm living in a world of blue

It must mean that I'm living in a world of blue

"Above And Beyond"
(originally by Buck Owens)

"Above And Beyond"
(originally by Buck Owens)



Well, I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
Yeah, I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
‘Cause love's something that money can't buy

Well, a poor boy's chances
For a pretty girl's glances
Are sometimes very few
Though I've got no money
If you'll be my honey
Here's what I'll offer you

I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
I'll never ever make you cry
Yes, I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
‘Cause love's something that money can't buy

We met by chance
But I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
Now I want to carry you
Off and marry you
If you will agree

And I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And I'll never ever make you cry
Yes, I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
Yeah, love's something that money can't buy
