Everything Keeps Falling All Apart Demo 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Backed up against a brick wall Nothing to do but stand tall The world starts crumbling beneath your feet And the sun beats down with relentless heat Where do you go? Where do you go? Chorus: When everything you’ve tried keeps eating up what’s left inside In your gut you know it’s true And you keep holding back from the one thing that you know you lack But it’s the one thing left to do And you can try as you might But everything keeps falling all apart Tired of hearing the same lies Fed up with all the things you’ve tried People say they love you but they let you down Don’t think you can show your face again in this town Where do you go? Where do you go?

Capital Crime Demo 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I don't know what to do this time You're acting like it was a capital crime I just said I don't know what to do Baby, let me in, come on let me through I asked your mother for a little advice She said some things to me that weren't very nice But I won't let all of that get me down I come chasing you if you skipped this town I think it's time for an apology Been looking for the words to set us free But everything I say just comes out wrong Baby, that's why I wrote you this song I still don't know what to do this time You're acting like it was a capital crime I just said I don't know what to do Baby, let me in, come on let me through

Baby, I'm in Love with You Demo 02:31
lyrics
buy track
If this were easier they wouldn’t call it love Because love is not an easy thing to do It gives your heart a thrill, but then you take a spill And yet I cannot get enough of you Chorus: And yet this is love Not some funny feeling welling up inside Yes, this is love It’s not something that you feel but that you do And Baby, I’m in love with you Most days are plain, not flowers and champagne But I will take any day with you It’s in the in betweens, not like some movie scenes And I know that we’re gonna see it through

If You Come Back or Not Demo 04:10
lyrics
buy track
How could you forgive me After all I've done to you? If I can't break this habit How do you know I'll be true? You'll find my sorrow at the bottom Of a bottle black as night And I wouldn't blame you, Baby If you ran off out of sight Chorus: This bottle's got her hands Gripped tight around my wrist And her lips are the ones I Most frequently kiss So if you can hear my song It's the last chance I've got I'll be waiting here for you, Girl If you come back or not All the things we've been through All the good times we had Won't convince me I'm nothing If I'm not completely bad There's nothing I could say now Nothing left to do That could put down this bottle And bring me back to you

Know That I Will Always Love You Demo 02:05
lyrics

Calm down Baby, there's not much we can do Just keep moving forward, keep both your feet in your shoes If every day is a gift Let's not spoil this one with a rift Just know that I will always love you Don't worry Baby, I'm never gonna let you fall When you need me you know I'm as close as a call So go on and pick up the phone Don't ever think you are alone Know that I will always love you Hold on to me Baby, and my hands will never lose their grip I'll keep holding tighter if I should start to feel you slip Come take this ride with me Who knows in a year where we'll be Just know that I will always love you

Don't let life get in the way Of living the life you want Don't let words get in the way Of saying the things you should say Because every life is a breath We might be one moment from our death So don't let life get in the way

Baby Hold On Demo 04:01
lyrics

What am I to do If I can't get next to you Though I've tried you keep running away I've done all I know But got nothing to show And I'm still alone at the end of the day Baby, hold on Baby, hold on Baby, hold on to me Baby, hold on Been thinking awhile I haven't seen your smile I hope there's something I can do Was it something I said Or something I did Was there some offense that I have done to you

A Gun and the Truth Demo 04:47
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got it all figured out now I know what to do No hesitation no doubt now Just a gun and the truth Just because he is the big boss man Doesn’t make him immune Don’t you know that this world has got laws man And I’m spreading the truth Chorus: He’s got it coming Any way you slice the cake Get out now before it’s too late He’s got everyone in this whole place Underneath his thumb They’re so blind they don’t see it Yeah, they’re all so dumb I’ve got to put an end to All of this going down When it’s over he’ll finally see that He can’t run this town

Waiting On A Train Demo 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Chorus: Waiting on a train that left town long ago Waiting for the one that’s supposed to love you so Honey, you can spend your days Waiting on him to change his ways But that train left this town so long ago Why are you waiting around here still? Are you still hoping for some kind of thrill He doesn’t love you and everybody knows Pick up the pieces that’s how this life can go Chorus You gave him your heart, he tied it to a rail You keep on wondering where did you fail When evidence incriminates him You start playing lawyer and defend him once again

lyrics

Chorus: I love coffee in the morning Coffee in the evening Coffee in the afternoon I love syrupy espressos Mochas, cappicinos, French press I need coffee soon And when it comes to a caffeine fix Nothing else has coffee’s bag of tricks I love coffee Coffee comes from beans that grow on coffee trees That start their lives as cherry pits And I wouldn’t drink it green That might cause a scene But roasted coffee is a hit Some hot water is all you need To make elixir from a coffee seed I love coffee Chorus Coffee can be smooth or coffee can be bold But do not let you cup go cold It’s best to drink it fresh yeah that’s when coffee’s best Do not let your coffee grow old You can buy all your coffee green

Honey, turn off the phone I wanna be left alone Let’s sleep until the sun goes down And act like we’re not around Chorus: All the world can keep on running by outside our door I don’t care I’d rather hold you close And be us once more Honey, kiss me slow I thought that you should know I always want you next to me I know that you’ll agree

I don’t know Where were gonna go But I’m taking you with me Taking you with me Not much of a plan But I know where we stand And we might be crazy Do you think we’re crazy?
