We were broke and hungry back before it was in style We’d smoke em when we had em, just float away for a while We thought we were clever, too clever to find any peace We were desperate together, desperate for some kind of release I was listening to the sirens echoing down the street In the middle of the night faded from the Memphis heat I could feel it coming I could feel you slipping away There was something in the water, there was something in the way If only I’d known better, I’d have played it to the letter I’d have stayed until confetti filled the sky If only I’d tried harder to listen to my heart I’d have never let you stray from my side Talking on the front porch back in your hometown Every word I said just seemed to let you further down You told me that you loved me but I could never make you whole Were you trying to surrender or were you trying to take control If only I’d known better, I’d have played it to the letter I’d have stayed until confetti filled the sky If only I’d tried harder to listen to my heart I’d have never let you stray from my side So how are things in Glocca Morra? Do all your friends still just bore ya? Are you awake at two in the morning, Thinking how the time goes by without a warning? (guitar) If only I’d known better, I’d have played it to the letter I’d have stayed until confetti filled the sky If only I’d tried harder to listen to my heart I’d have never let you stray from my side

If you should fall I will let go I will follow you down If the world would end And I was your only friend I will follow you down When religion fails from the crosses that you bear When there is no one left to cry to If they criticize If they stain your name I will always let you know When you are afraid Or feeling so alone I will always come when called If the buildings fall on another working day And if the cracks they form beneath my feet All of the Rivers of my soul Always lead me back to you When the waters bend When you can’t see in the dark I will be the shining light If the storms will block my way If I’m caught up in the wars I will find my way back home All of the Rivers of my soul Always lead me back to you

Pack the car, drive it far, burn it up In her head, she's seeing red, empty cup Gone are days where she could take it down the line Gone are days those were extraordinary times On the road, the radio, brings the sounds Miles go by, in her eye, these dusty towns Oh the memories do tell the tale of lies Oh the memories come crashing in disguise Rearview mirror, it gets clearer, day by day Painful thoughts, and battles fought, will fade away Time is healing with every sight she sees Time is healing in her reality

Business I heard a story ‘bout a Man too big for his boots I am not one to 
lose the power of my own roots You should not question Me the depth of my devotion You may regret results the ones you’ve set in motion I had a dream You were not there I tried to scream You never cared I found my own Outside the wall These broken bones Now cannonballs it’s not your business, business what did you think? you got some business, business Why don’t you take your business, business
to someone who cares
I got my business, business You just mind your own

Plain and simple, 1-2-3 Making such a fool of me Light the match and, watch it burn Past the point, but still return Tell the story, dont believe Tell the truth, my enemy Ca ca can’t be trusted Ca ca can’t be trusted Ca ca can’t be trusted No, no, no, no Plain and simple, clear to see Making such a mockery Twist the knife in, just for fun Maybe I’m the lucky one Ca ca can’t be trusted Ca ca can’t be trusted Ca ca can’t be trusted No, no, no, no Now it’s time, to see the tables turn Nothing sacred anymore, pour the gas, watch it burn Now it’s time, to open up my eyes Say our last goodbyes Ca ca can’t be trusted Ca ca can’t be trusted Ca ca can’t be trusted No, no, no, no Plain and simple, 1-2-3 Now you’re just a memory

Verse 1 Like a thundercloud that’s full enough with rain I’ve had all I can take of this pain Don’t think that life will always go your way Cause I’ve got enough time to make a change Chorus Don’t you think that I was born to fly away? When the winds picked up did you think you’d make me stay? A little old soul in a modern world I’ve been told I’m a restless girl but you won’t hold me down no more ooo ooo Verse 2 Like a steam train we set off down the line you said take my hand I said that’s fine For better or for worse in this life it’s just you and me against the time Chorus Don’t you think that we were born to fly away? When the winds picked up did you think they’d make us stay? Two little old souls in a modern world I’ve been told I’m a restless girl and you won’t be held down no more ooo ooo Bridge We’ll fly away We’ll fly away Chorus Don’t you think that we were born to fly away? When the winds picked up did you think they’d make us stay? Two little old souls in a modern world I’ve been told I’m a restless girl and you won’t be held down no more ooo ooo

I'm asking my buddy man did you see that chick? He said you talking bout the one you should've left here with? I said yeah I know it's lame because I know she said her name but I just can't remember it Because I only danced with the girl for a couple hours but it feels like we've known each other forever Now she's like a broken memory that I can't put back together Yeah she's like a song stuck up in my head and I can't get the words right No I can't remember what she said, what she said to make my night But it was something like I want you or I need you do you want me- Well you know I do But baby the way you make me move, is all that I can remember about you I'm searching my phone for every trace of last night, and I finally see a picture where she standing in the light I know it's lame but I'm cycling through names like it started with an E right? Because I only danced with the girl for a couple hours but it feels like we've known each other forever Now she's like a broken memory that I can't put back together Yeah she's like a song stuck up in my head and I can't get the words right No I can't remember what she said, what she said to make my night But it was something like I want you or I need you do you want me- Well you know I do But baby the way you make me move, is all that I can remember about you Now I heard your words and I felt your beat I'm drowning in your melody I'm remembering you on repeat No I can't remember what she said, what she said to make my night But it was something like I want you or I need you do you want me- Well you know I do But baby the way you make me move, is all that I can remember about you

I learned it wrong But I made my own trail Found heaven accidentally while I was backing away from hell People try to give advice But before they finish I’m long gone I’ll get there on my own road It’s my way even if I learned it wrong Throw away the compass Throw away the map Play the cards your given Not the ones you’re supposed to have I heard the words they said But they have their own lives to live I hear them yelling as I walk away They tell me I learned it wrong But I made my own trail Found heaven accidentally while I was backing away from hell People try to give advice But before they finish I’m long gone I’ll get there on my own road It’s my way even if I learned it wrong When I was born I came out the wrong way I didn’t listen to a thing they’d say Didn’t follow in the footsteps Of the ones who came before Didn’t care about a beaten path Many a time Ive bombed and crashed I crossed a river and without learning how to swim I learned it wrong But I made my own trail Found heaven accidentally while I was backing away from hell People try to give advice But before they finish I’m long gone I’ll get there on my own road It’s my way even if I learned it wrong Many is the mile Winding is the way If you tell me not to listen I might hear the words you say But in the end I want to know All dead ends and the endless roads Everywhere is where I want to go You can tell me I learned it wrong But I made my own trail Found heaven accidentally while I was backing away from hell People try to give advice But before they finish I’m long gone I’ll get there on my own road

2 strong chords & 1 good lie What's it all for I wonder if we even try Headed into darkness With the wind at my back I broke another promise You could call it a drag Call it a drag 2 strong chords & 1 good lie What's it all for I wonder if we even try You got the pieces of the puzzle You can't make 'em fit The riches of el Dorado But you set them adrift Set them adrift 2 strong chords & 1 good lie What's it all for I wonder if we even try Just sitting here in silence While the world goes to sleep Try adding to your timeline Minus the repeats Minus the repeats Minus the repeats
