On Rented Ground

The people before us
Who gave there souls
Just wanted a simple life
Did not own gold
They fled like animals
Under the smoke filed sky
Women and children
Packed the cabins high
(chorus)
They didn't know no no
The distance that would come between them
They were sure were sure
Seperated by the hands of time
Some stayed in spite of all
To start a new
Without there loved ones
Who never bid them adieu
Why are we on rented grounds
Was sometimes asked
Can't go on with your life
If you live in the past
(chorus)
The people before us
Who gave there souls......
(chorus)

Crosses made by sufferers
Dot the highway side
And lead us back to Tennessee
Reminds us why we ride
Took 65 from Birmingham
After the cellphone rings
Drove non stop in the pouring rain
Back seat crying stings
Barefoot in the wet grass
Mud between our toes
It's summer in Spring Hill again
But summer comes and goes
A house full of casseroles
And high school memories
My bedroom door still has the marks
Where Momma measured me
How do I measure now?
Now that I'm on my own
You taught me how to laugh and live
To share the love I'm shown
Barefoot in the wet grass
Mud between our toes
Bouquet of flowers in a bowl
Picked from our subtle grove
Barefoot in the wet grass
Mud between our toes
It's summer in Spring Hill again
But summer comes and goes
Barefoot in the wet grass
Mud between our toes
It's summer in spring Hill again
I've never been so alone
At Home
Barefoot in the wet grass (at home)

Should I Be Holding On
03:10
|

|
It's freezing cold tonight
Snows comin' down on this sleepy town
On this virgin blanket
Poised to lay down all my woes
Knee deep in my sorrow
I feel so all alone
To face my tomorrows
And accept that you are gone
(chorus)
Should I be holding on
Should I be holding on
I know it's so simple
But It's also very hard
These feelings inside me
Fallin' like a house of cards
(chorus)
I can't see myself lovin' someone else
No not in the state I'm in
You left without even an explanation
Oh what a fool I've been
(chorus)

To You
03:16

Well it's been raining outside for 18 days
I aint seen the sunlight I see nothing but haze
Think I'll call you
See what you've been up to
But if I do don't think I'm talkin' back to you
Well I've been searching for something
Maybe a twinkle in an eye
Why I'm searching for something baby I don't know why
Think I'm walking
But I aint walking to you
But if I do don't think I'm walking back to you
Well now the beets in the garden I might never eat
But life for me now it aint nothing but a treat
Think I'm crawling
But I aint crawling to you
But if I do don't think I'm crawling back to you

My Life
03:43

Am I really
someone who has to say
All the right things at the right time
I feel like a caveman sometimes
It's my
It's my life
So many people
live life lame
living life like it's a game
They take and take and give nothing at all
It'll be that way until they fall
They say it's my
It's my life
Find your passion and live it hard
Don't leave it to chance don't play that card
You could take your aces and go your way
You could leave but you can always say
It's my, it's my life
It's my, It's my life
Theirs so many reasons to change
But somehow it stays the same
It could be gone in the blink of an eye
In Light, It's my life
Am I really
Someone who has to say
All the right things at the right time
I feel like a caveman sometimes
It's my, It's my life
It's my, It's my life

Believe
03:12

Walking down the road
Seems quite Long
Potholes look like craters
From the light of a setting sun
Pick up my bag
It seems quite full
Life's little eminencies
Sometimes end in no good
Well I believe, I believe
Well I believe, I believe
Been alive
for some 40 years
I seen it come and go
Like fruits on the trees
Well I believe, I believe
Well I believe, I believe
That I am where I am
I am where I am
I am where I am
Cause I believe

All These Days

These Days
Dishes fill my kitchen sink
These Days
I can't even brush my teeth
Then the night comes
TV my only friend
I miss you these days
These days
Feel like a prison
These days
I'm scared of everything
Then the night comes
Our home an empty space
I think of you these days
All these days are more than I can take
All these days
All these days I can't seem to get a break
All These days
These days
I can't turn the light on
These days
I can't seem to pull it together
Then the night comes
A vacant room an open door
Where are you these days?

Feet From The Water

Got the headline news again
Got me down
My Tails in a spin
My chins on the ground
If I can't see light
Don't think I'm coming round
Them damn blues got me down
got me down
Keep my feet from the water
Keep my feet from the water
ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Got the headline news again
Got me down
My coffee's in a tin
My chin's in the grounds

She's Gone Long Gone
03:49
|
|||
|
She's gone long gone
It's hard to meet your goal
They say I'm outta control
I told you once told you twice
Step away from bad advice
Bagged laundry and dirty dishes
Done all that I could of done
I thought I met your wishes
Like a tool I'm a son of a gun
Suede jacket, Italian shoes
The whole show thinks that you'll never loose
racing cars close to the ground
Took a woman to drag you down
She's gone long gone

Like I'm Blind
02:46
|
|||
|
The kitchen table be'n broken
Things weren't going so well
A struggle gone worse than wrong
A struggle gone strait to hell
(chorus)
Won't you tell me sometime that I'm doing fine
Instead of saying "you're outta your mind"
Accumulation of years and tears salting down beer
Lets me hold onto her like I'm blind
Looking down like I'd left my body
Blood seeping outta her ear
She's still yelling at me
"take the damn stuff and leave"
I watched myself gimp to the door
(chorus)
Hold on to your lover my folks used to say
Hold on to the one and stay
But she does it her way and her ways killing me
I'm searching for stronger days
(chorus)
Was a rough one last Saturday evening
