"Puttin' Memories Away"

"Puttin' Memories Away"


I threw our rings into a box
Filled with broken memories and fool's gold
And I woke up again last night in this lonely bed without you to hold
And I walked around this house pullin' pictures off the walls
Just like I've done a hundred times before
Makin' sure I've got 'em all

[Chorus:]
Makin' sure I've got the hard to find
Little things that make me think about you
'Cause I'm tired of this house always breakin' me down, feelin' blue
No, there's nothin' left to say
I'm puttin' memories away

Well, yesterday I found your dress
I guess there's some things I missed in our room
But it didn't break me down the second that I found it like it used to
With red wine and tears I've been gatherin' all the years we spent together
I need to move on
'Cause I know that you're gone forever

[Chorus]

No, there's nothing left to say
I'm puttin' memories away

"Putting My Misery On Display"

"Putting My Misery On Display"


I live in my own world on 18 wheels
Playing music and writing songs about the way I feel
Tonight I'll play my guitar for you
I'll pour my heart out and tonight it's blue
So gather round and watch me play
I'm putting my misery on display

I was raised with the West Coast bands
I dont change for anyone I stay the way I am
I dont do this for fame, I do this for me
It soothes my soul and keeps my sanity
I'll only be here for today
Putting my misery on display

And this road it's so cold
And at times it feels so long
But I just keep moving on and singing you my songs
'Cause I dont know any other way
Putting my misery on display

Tonight I wish someone would hold me
A woman's touch and put my mind at ease
Her lips, her breaath up against my skin
Spread her wingsa nd take my body in
I'll be gone by the break of day
Putting my misery on display

And this road gest so cold
And at times it feels so long
But I just keep moving on and singing you my songs
'Cause I dont know any other way
Than putting my misery on display

I dont know any other way
Than putting my misery on display

"Red Lips, Blue Eyes, Little White Lies"

"Red Lips, Blue Eyes, Little White Lies"


Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' I'm a fool for you
Hey darlin' why can't you can be true

Red lips, blue eyes and sweet disguise
Oh darlin' the things you put me through
Your little white lies are breaking my heart in two

You come around and tell me that you love me so
You take a little loving then you say you gotta go
I know he's waiting for you on the other side of town
Well I'm a fool to love you baby 'cause I know you're messing around

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' why can't you be true
I'm crazy to love you baby you know I do, yeah

Sooner or later you'll have to face the truth
Little white lies will catch up with you
With nowhere to run and no where to hide
And no one to love you there by your side

Red lips, blue eyes and little white lies
Oh darlin' the things you put me through
But your little white lies are gonna catch up with you
Oh your little white lies are gonna catch up with you
Baby your little white lies are gonna catch up with you

"Right Where I Need To Be"

"Right Where I Need To Be"


There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight
Destination New Orleans
Boss man says my big promotion's on the line
He says that's right where I need to be

Lately I've been on the road more than I've been home
All this leavin' her alone is killin' me
And holdin' her right now has got me thinkin' more and more
This is right where I need to be

Where when I hear her I can see her
I can smell her sweet perfume
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep
Where I won't miss her I can kiss her
Anytime that I want to
Yeah that's right where I need to be
Yeah that's right where I need to be

There's a plane flyin' outta here tonight
With an empty first class seat
'Cause I've finally got all my priorities in line
And I'm right where I need to be

Where when I hear her I can see her
I can smell her sweet perfume
I can feel her skin against me when I sleep
Where I won't miss her I can kiss her
Anytime that I want to
Yeah that's right where I need to be
Yeah I'm right where I need to be

"Ring"

"Ring"


I remember the smile on her face
When I put you on her finger
I felt the love in her sweet embrace
And all the happiness you brought her
I still see it all in my mind
The way she loved me
All the time

[chorus]
Ring, ring
You ain't nothin' but a thing
Yesterday we used to hold her
LIttel band of gold
With a little blue stone
I'm sure gonna miss the hand
That you were on

She'd wear you when we were together
She'd wear you when I was gone
'Cause we believed in love forever
But I guess we were wrong
Now she's found somebody new
She doesn't care about
Me or you

[repeat chorus]

Wish I could put it all behind
But I can't keep her off my mind
Oh, oh
What can I do?

[repeat chorus]

Little band of gold with a little blue stone
Oh..

"Runaway"

"Runaway"


As I walk along I wonder
What went wrong with our love
A love so rare and strong

And as I walk along, I think of
The times we had together
While our hearts were young

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wa wa wa wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway

I'm a walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wa wa wa wonder
Why, why why why why why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, a run run run run runaway

A run run run run runaway
A run run run run runaway

"Sand In My Soul"

"Sand In My Soul"


Floatin' away like a bottle in the water
Sun down here just feels a little hotter
Burnin' away today 'cause I ain't got her no more, no more
Somethin' kinda dark about stone white beaches
Nobody here practice what they preaches
The truth is the truth ain't worth what I'm reaching for
In the distance I hear tequila talk
And college chicks in the parking lot
While I just lay here starin' up at God

[Chorus:]
With sand in my soul
Beer in my veins
Lettin' my hair grow in room 108
Gettin' over you, I ain't even gonna try
'Cause I'm on a roll
Fillin' up this hole
With sand in my soul

Headphones, shades, never gettin' rattled
Spent all day just building you a castle
It's okay if your back in the saddle at home, back home
I hate to say I'm glad you broke my heart
And I hate to say it isn't tearing me apart
But I love the way this tiki bar is somehow never closed

[Chorus:]
With sand in my soul
Beer in my veins
Lettin' my hair grow in room 108
Gettin' over you, I ain't even gonna try
'Cause I'm on a roll
Fillin' up this hole
With sand in my soul

In the distance I hear tequila talk
And college chicks in the parking lot
While I just lay here starin' up at God

Sand in my soul
Beer in my veins
Lettin' my hair grow down to my waist
Gettin' over you, I ain't even gonna try
'Cause I'm on a roll
Fillin' up this hole
With sand in my soul

Sand in my soul

"See If I Care"

"See If I Care"


I saw you walking down the street last night,
I saw him walking by your side,
I saw the way he stopped and held you tight,
I saw the look in your eyes,
Go on and tell him that you love him,
Go on and show him he's the one,
Go on and give him every sacred thing that you used to save for us,

And see if I care,
Look at the way you're tearing me apart baby,
See if I care,
Look at the tears falling in this heart baby,
Go on go on go on,
Yeah go on go on go on,
And see if I care,

I still can hear the way you whisper,
Softly in my ear,
I lay awake and I remember the way it felt to hold you near,
Go on and run your fingers through his hair,
Go on and lay by his side,
Go on and wrap him in your dark surrender,
And all your tender lies,

And see if I care,
Look at the way you're tearing me apart baby,
See if I care,
Look at the tears falling in this heart baby,
Go on go on go on,
Yeah go on go on go on,
And see if I care,

Look a the way you're tearing me apart baby,
See if I care,
Look at the tears falling in this heart baby,
Go on go on go on,
Yeah go on go on go on,
Well go on,
And see if I care
See if I care......
See if I care.....
See if I care.......

"Send Back My Heart"

"Send Back My Heart"


By now I really should be over you
But I might as well just give up tryin'
You've got what's missin' deep inside me
And I want it back, girl you know it's mine

[Chorus]
Send back my heart if you don't want it
Send back my heart girl, the one you stole away
You've made it plain, your names not on it
S don't put me through one more blue and lonely day
Send back my heart

I've found somebody else wants my love
But I can't give her what she needs
The very thing she's wantin' still ain't mine to give
So won't you let it go, please baby please

I've tried to forget you girl just like you told me to
But baby that's impossible, so now it's up to you

"She Gets Me"

"She Gets Me"


This life I choose
Its always been hard
Lots of tattoos and scars
and broken hearts
And a woman's love, aint been hard for me to find,
But keepin' one's tough, when your gone all the time.
I aint no easy man to understand,
Thank God she can;

And she gets me,
Yeah she gets me,
And she takes me just the way the good Lord made me,
All the faults that I can't hide,
This wild and crazy rock and roll life,
She knows won't ever set me free,
Well, she's the only woman I need,
Yeah she gets me [x2]

I aint no nine to five
I aint no forty hour week
I know Im always chasing rainbows that she can't see
I know Im hard to love, and thats why I pray,
That God will give her patients and the strength to stay,
Cause I know I aint no easy man to understand,
Thank God she can;

And she gets me,
Yeah she gets me,
And she takes me just the way the good Lord made me,
All the faults that I can't hide,
This wild and crazy rock and roll life,
She knows won't ever set me free,
Well, she's the only woman I need,
Yeah she gets me [x2]

All the faults that I can't hide,
This wild and crazy rock and roll life,
She know's wont ever sets me free,
Yeah she's the only woman I need,
Yeah she gets me [x2]
