Jerry Chapman - Reason to Return 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Everybody's waiting Everybody's waiting for a sign to take a step Lookin' for a better day, an easy way, but it ain't happened yet We're all wanting someone We're all bored and lonely, though we mostly hide it well Giving up a heart of stone, when we're alone, sometimes it's hard to tell We put our heads before our hearts Will we ever learn We're lost and lookin' for a reason, a reason to return Sometimes when no one's watching We take the chance to change the world, or at least our little room Lighten up the darkest day, show me the way, it can't come too soon Someday when we're older Someday when we're wiser, or maybe when we're not I'll open up my heart to you, it's the least I can do, when it was all my fault We put our heads before our hearts Will we ever learn We're lost and lookin' for a reason, a reason to return We make the best excuses We take the time to make them up when we're feeling weak and proud Lookin' for a better way, a brighter day, it could happen now We put our heads before our hearts Will we ever learn We shouldn't always need a reason, a reason to return

Clay Howard - Say Goodbye 03:00
lyrics
©clay howard so gladly say goodbye ..if it meant coming back cause its been so long i've gone so far off track we've all made mistakes -I've made enough for 2 or 3 or 4 but now I'm coming back to you If you'll let me say goodbye and take me back in just one night to be together .. we'll turn it into time to be together.. then I would say goodbye So glad to let it end, if it meant we could be friends cause we've gone too far to simply let this be the end we've all made mistakes, I've made enough for 2 or 3 or 4 but now I'm calling out to you If you'll let me say goodbye and take me back in just one night to be together .. we'll turn it into time to be together.. then I would say goodbye They say goodbye doesn't mean forever I'll say goodbye so we can put it back together If you'll let me say goodbye and take me back in just one night to be together we'll turn it into time, to be together then I will say goodbye

G. Edward McBride - Home is Where the Honey Is 03:44
lyrics
buy track
I sit alone, in this great big city Look at the lights, they shine so bright Been missing home, and there's no part of it here Nothing but a loud city night Chorus: Well I'm going home, to where I'm known And I don't feel like I'm dying Here it's 80 degrees but it's (cold as hell/so damn cold) I'm barely here but I'm trying Home is where the honey is Well I'm not singing about skin I'm just, talkin bout the soul These hotel rooms can get so lonely Closing walls, outta my control Chorus Once again, I'm on the road alone Home is just a memory Freedom, ain't all it's cracked up to be Seperated from the ones you love Chorus

Steve Williard - Back to the Beginning 03:43
lyrics
buy track
I hardly listen anymore Float around, like I've done this before. You'd think by now I'd get it right Put the angry words away and just say goodnight I want to try, so please understand This is not what I wanted, this is not what I planned I want to, take it back Back to the beginning When we were young in love and we were still dreaming it was just the two of us and nothing else mattered Don't want to let it fall apart let's pull it back together And go back So we can last forever Remember late nights on the phone Say good night but don't hang up so we'd never be alone Don't let that memory fade away We've come so far together we can make it through today I know it's hard, so just take my hand We need a change to make it better I think I finally understand I want to, take it back Back to the beginning When we were young in love and we were still dreaming it was just the two of us and nothing else mattered Don't want to let it fall apart let's pull it back together And go back So we can last forever I just want to hold you for the rest of your life. But if we're gonna make it work we gotta get through this night. So let's go back Back to the beginning When we were young in love and we were still dreaming it was just the two of us and nothing else mattered Don't want to let it fall apart let's pull it back together And go back So we can last forever

lyrics

couldn't stick around with last year's model got a taste for something higher gauge but something in the wiring's got you running cold why you lock yourself up in that cage? and now you drive that beat-up thing just like it's cursed a hundred miles an hour in reverse what makes you scared to hit the highway? what makes you fear the open road? what makes you think I'm gonna fade away let all this friction's heat explode you're gonna turn this Cadillac into a hearse a hundred miles an hour in reverse so I'll say this one more time for your sake think hard on what you're 'bout to do 'fore you go jamming down that parking brake don't strip your gears for someone who ain't good enough for you all this back-and-forth just makes it worse a hundred miles an hour in reverse and now you drive that beat-up thing just like it's cursed a hundred miles an hour in reverse

AG Y'all - Recognize 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Used to go out drinking Never did much thinking About anyone but me Road was just too glamorous There will still be time for us Kept in touch when it suited me I'd take it back if I could but can't So where do we go from here Flyin like a rocket, too young to settle down You were born on a Sunday in a sleepy little town Now you're almost 5 years old it's true the time flies When I come home it's hard to recognize You re hard First steps I'd be missing I'd read you would listen You would call me daddy That day it all changed for me Alone and feeling sorry I want it back but it's too late I'd trade it all if I could but I can't Where do we go from here Flying like a rocket, too high to ever land Bright like a sunset, this funny little man Now your almost 10 years old Sparkle in your eyes When I come home you start to recognize When I come home now you recognize Nothing will stop this I stayed far too long I promise to always care and be there be there can watch you grow The rockets landed safely on the ground Found what's important and I'm holding on now Think back to the man I was and the times I left behind When I look back its hard to recognize

Jason LeVasseur - Shake Down 03:17
lyrics
Shake Down - Jason LeVasseur the dust flew when the stick hit the drums sang when I played it you been been stacked and I'm getting rusty - way too long Was I thinking about you? A blue glow in the bedroom. I saw you and ignored you - all alone Shake down - they’ll see why did I wait so long to bring you back to me? they’ll see why did it take so long to have you here with me? the costumes and the stages the lost groom and the white dress you’re in tune and I’m getting in tune with you all the pieces not broken and your name left unspoken but I picked up your pieces and made it right shake down - they’ll see why did I wait so long to bring you back to me? they’ll see why did it take so long to to bring you back to me? Are you ready to drive the band ? are you ready to sleep in the back of a van ? are you ready to play to this room ? Well, I am if you are too. shake down...

Corky - Go Back And Say It Again 03:51
lyrics

Go Back And Say It Again Say comma did you know a flashing eyelash means a male is waiting for a modem to catch up And maybe hear a windchime Called into the basin for Edward got no reply Standing by the oak I found a pink bow tie Lying there on the range Maybe if I say this phrase enough times It’ll sound like it’s real and people will start to follow along Believing every word I say Did you catch my drift Or should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Kyle wants to go home soon so he waits for the train at 6th and Vine And calls his long lost Aunt on a briefcase telephone Argentina is so far away But its message is in the canvas Which is really the customer invoice noted way past due Ask 8 times for the sale and they will buy every time Everybody knows this But they’re still glazed over by the golden statue Did you catch my drift Or should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Daisy’s will grow if the grip the soil in deep Japan And it’s crown will be the headlights Shown on table cloths everywhere A C-clamp holds the floor down when it’s hot outside And the neighbors work hard to rake the field In tight blue jeans and wooden shoes Buy right now and I’ll throw right in Some extra stuff that you don’t really need But it’ll help you feel you’ve made a contribution to the cause Did you catch my drift Or should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again Should I go back and say it Again and again and again

Suuusun - The hour is nigh 02:52
lyrics
buy track
I guess I'll open my mouth once again. It seemed to go ok the first time. What if I have nothing left to say, or worse no way to lasso loose thoughts swirling in my mind. the hour is nigh where did I leave my mind? ahhhhhh ooooo that didn't even rhyme. I don’t want to waste your time. Yet, here I go again I wish I could keep Van Dyke Parks in my pocket, in case of word emergency. He’d say, "Instead of "fine" you should say "transcendental chickadees". It's basically the same. the hour is nigh where did I leave my mind? ahhhhhh ooooo that didn't even rhyme. don’t want to waste your time. Yet, here I go again. It seems so easy for you every week, do words just flow out of your veins? Or must you set your thoughts ablaze like me and piece together whatever remains?
