"Down To The Wire"

"Down To The Wire"



Have you heard about the ones who can't get to sleep at night
Walking through their shoes in the neon light
There's a strain in their faces from the wind and the sand
Of the far away places where they had to make a stand

On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire

They were talking in the news, of a run about to be made
It would come when they cut it loose, from the plan they lay
On some future night, when the talk is low
They agree it's right and Lord it's time to go

On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire

Deep in the still of night (on their way down)
They'll be movin' across the line (on their way down)
On their way down, down to the wire

On their way down (deep in the still of night)
On their way down (they'll be movin' across the line)
On their way down, down to the wire

"Downfall"

"Downfall"



Thought I'd seen it all before
No one could show me any more
Sunny skies and and lights so bright
Winter winds deep in the night

Then came a woman
Heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant

My downfall, Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall

If anyone should ask you why
I keep starin' at the sky
Tell them how it used to be
Tell them how it was with me

Then came a woman
Heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant

My downfall
Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall

Then came a woman...

My downfall...

"Drink It In"

"Drink It In"



Some days I feel like
Time's played a joke on me
When I look in the mirror
I thought I'd flame out
Laid in the ground at 33
Wouldn't bet a dime I'd be here

This train's headin' west around the bend
Never gonna turn back to where it's been
Hear the rhythm roll
Watch it all unfold
Big ol' beautiful world
Take the time to sit back and let it spin
And drink it in

Don't need a Bordeaux
Pull the cork and pour me some
Straight from a jug of blue skies
Life used to be a big blur
But it's all twenty-twenty now
Looking down the line with new eyes

"Drivin' Wheel"

"Drivin' Wheel"


We were sitting in the harbor
With our sights out on the land
There was something someone or other
That we couldn't quite understand
About the driving wheel
Want to know how it feels
To be taking time out turn it all about
We're taking hold, the drivin' wheel

And there were miles of time
Drowned in the wine
We were talkin' 'bout better days
It was years ago when we felt the goal
Was anchored to the changing ways
Anchored to the changing ways

There ain't nothin' here
Only the fear of
What is right and what is real
Satisfaction smile came on board
For a while
We're taking hold, take hold the drivin' wheel

We were sitting in the harbor
Had our sights on the land
All the men at the wheel moving on
With the plan
We were reaching together for
The same end
Sun shiny weather comin' 'round
The bend
Comin' round the bend

There ain't nothin' here
Only the fear of
What is right and what is real
Satisfaction smile came on board
For a while
Take hold the drivin' wheel
Take hold, take hold, take hold of the drivin' wheel
I want to know, want to know, I want to know just how it feels
Take hold take hold take hold of the drivin' wheel
Take hold take hold take hold of the drivin' wheel
Take hold take hold take hold of the drivin' wheel
Take hold take hold take hold of the drivin' wheel
[repeat]

"Early Times"

"Early Times"



Early times gone to rhyme
Somebody said it was a good time
To me it was a long long time
Just a long time

Early days gone to a gaze
Somebody said we'll make it crazy
And the leader passed it on
He got lazy

Songs they got to slippin' and
Right hand man took to trippin' and
The leader passed it on
Familiar faces I seen
Similar places and I wonder
How we left some traces

Come the moon Go the sun
And I believe there's something on the run
Catching up we ran so far behind
Early days gone to rhyme

"Every Time I Hear That Train"

"Every Time I Hear That Train"



We've taken this road a thousand times
Rollin' away past the country line
To a place therewaiting for the better every time
All the promises made and the ones that were kept
Bind in this distance that won't let us forget
How far we've come from every turn
The bridges behind us the lessons we learned
No more lonely sundowns
No more days of dirty rain
No more nights of crying out load
Wishing it was some other way
Just a matter of a little more time
If you listen there's a signal in the night
Every time I hear that train
Running through my heart like a hurricane
And all the questions that still remain
Seem to find their answers here
Every time I hear that train
Red tile stretches from the mountains to the bay
Better hang on baby, it'll take your breath away
We know we belong here someday we're gonna stay
It'll take all I got to leave it all today
And the place where you loved me
There on the sand
On a hot night in August
Where it all began
Just a matter of a little more time
If you listen there's a signal in the night

"Faith In The Families"

"Faith In The Families"



Taking the dream how we ran
In the rage of another plan
Heading for the mountain wall
Where it all began to fall
When we heard the wind call

Take your homes in the sun
There ain't no need to run
You've been here you've been there
You've been everywhere
And the time has come to really care

Through our families we had eyes to see
What could really be
We were making plans in the
Promise land
Far away from the shining sea

For some it wasn't easy
Living in an old dream
There's so many rocks in the stream
Do you know what I mean

We are living in a time that is ours
To share
Catch up don't you stray too far behind
For the time has come for us
To really care
Would you trade me your dream
For mine

Taking the dream how we ran
In the rage of another plan
Heading for the mountain wall
Where it all began to fall
When we heard the wind call

"Find Out In Time"

"Find Out In Time"



Ain't it funny how a good day flies - when you're high
Makes you feel you're so together - you don't know why
It's such a difference from days gone by
And you wish it could go on forever

All I really wanna see is you - in the night
Give me somethin' to believe in - so hang on tight
Drive the devil right from my sight
And you wish it could go on forever
But I know I'm really not that clever

I could follow you here, I could follow you there
But what good would it do in the meantime?
If I said that I loved you would it really be fair?
If I didn't would it be a crime?

Guess we'll find out in time
Patience is the key while we're waiting in line
Find out in time - you can bet your last dime
We're gonna find out what we need in time

I could follow you here, I could follow you there...

Guess we'll find out in time...

Guess we'll find out in time...

"First Love"

"First Love"



Today my First Love has arrived
Did you see her? Did you approve?
What if I asked this of you?
Would everything you'd say be true?

When I was young I played with toys
Games were small then, not so involved
My toys meant most of all
You know how kids are when they're small

But now today I find a lot has come to change my mind
It took some time to understand
Older people play little games in another way
Their castles crumble to sand
A lonely hour to withstand

Today my First Love is alone
Do you miss her? Is it so sad?
The tears you cry should be glad
Remembering her's not all that bad

Today my First Love is alone

"Flying Solo"

"Flying Solo"



No, no
Please don't go
Take it easy
Move it slow
Yeah, yeah
Say it ain't so
I got the feelin'
You want me no more
And you say
You've got to run away
Everyday
You think you'll find your way
But it's OK
'Til you find out you've been flyin' solo
Solo

No, no
Don't go below
Rise above it
Let it flow
Yeah, yeah
There are seeds you must sow
Grab ahold and don't let go
Take the key
And unlock the door
What's that you see
Another corridor
And there's much more
'Til you find out you've been flyin' solo
Solo, Solo

Have you ever been dreamin'
'Bout the way it could have been
Then you wake up disbelievin'
It's a sin
Oh, but then
You're flyin' solo

Solo
So much to know
Feel the rhythm
Head to toe
I know
We all must grow
But raise the curtain
Before the show
Do you feel
You've been mesmerized
Makin' a deal
To free you from your ties
It's all right
'Til you find out you've been flyin' solo
