Rocky Mountain Time
The station was empty
The trains were all gone
I reached in my pocket
And I wanted for dawn
Chorus:
The clock played drums
And I hummed the sax
And the wind whistled down
The railroad tracks
Hey three for a quarter
One for a dime
Ill bet its tomorrow
By rocky mountain time
I walked in the restaurant
For something to do
The waitress yelled at me
And so did the food
And the water taste funny
When youre far from your home
But its only the thirsty
That hunger to roam
(repeat chorus)
Well build us a castle on main street
And pretend that were down on the farm
Hell, well hold out as long as we have to
Then well twist off each others arm
Christ Im so mixed up and lonely
I cant even make friends with my brain
Im too young to be where Im going
But Im too old to go back again
(repeat first verse and chorus)

Everytime
In a little while Verse One

Sam Stone
Sam stone came home,
To his wife and family
After serving in the conflict overseas.
And the time that he served,
Had shattered all his nerves,
And left a little shrapnel in his knee.
But the morphine eased the pain,
And the grass grew round his brain,
And gave him all the confidence he lacked,
With a purple heart and a monkey on his back.
Chorus:
Theres a hole in daddys arm where all the money goes,
Jesus christ died for nothin I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Dont stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios.
Mmm....
Sam stones welcome home
Didnt last too long.
He went to work when hed spent his last dime
And sammy took to stealing
When he got that empty feeling
For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.
And the gold rolled through his veins
Like a thousand railroad trains,
And eased his mind in the hours that he chose,
While the kids ran around wearin other peoples clothes...
Repeat chorus:
Sam stone was alone
When he popped his last balloon
Climbing walls while sitting in a chair
Well, he played his last request
While the room smelled just like death
With an overdose hovering in the air
But life had lost its fun
And there was nothing to be done
But trade his house that he bought on the g, i. bill
For a flag draped casket on a local heroes hill

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes
Chorus:
Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:
Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Mr Blue
Winter sounds the crying
Like an old man slowly dying
And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
Even colder comes the moon
And though it never seems too soon
A sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze
(chorus)
Im mr blue
Im here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When youre lonely - Ill be lonely too
(repeat)
A young girl, she is shaded
Bears the scars that never faded
Of the baby that was born on christmas day
While the heavens sing their song
A childs life is never long
cos the food supplies will only last a day
(chorus repeat)
Patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion
After all theres really no-one here to blame
Soldiers taking orders, cos we must defend the borders
Of our nation (and the other sides the same)
(chorus repeat)
Ill come to you at night
When all the world is sleeping tight
And lie beside you, till the early morning dew
You cant hear me, you cant see
But you can feel me when you read
The folded letter she left addressed to you
(chorus repeat)

If You Only Knew
(jane mariash, dianna rae)
So here you are again
Standing at my door
You know Id understand
Well thats what friends are for
Whats he done this time
What did he say
To make you so darn mad
That youre running away
Now you say you want to be like me
Independent and free
Chorus:
But if you only knew
What a single girl goes through
The long working days and the lonley nights
The empty I love yous
Oh if you only knew what its like to be alone
Youd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
My life looks good to you
Im always in control
No one to answer to
But no one there to hold
You see in my eyes you are the lucky one
With loving arms that you can lean upon
Id give anything I could to say
What youre throwing away
Cause (repeat chorus)
I know its hard to face that love aint perfect everyday
But I know a hundred girls who would gladly take your place
So (repeat chorus)
Youd put your anger down
Turn around and go back home
If you only knew

Hand To Hold On To
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That youre cool.........so cool..........so cool.
Say, imunna hold onto that a while and I will and Ill be tame,
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.
Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
Havin good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but
Repeat chorus
And in those hours when youre alone,
And theres nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, talk to me, talk to me, somebody please
Talk to me! yeah!

Ohh, yeah!

Some Things You Can't Take Back
Well she was lookin out the window
And I was starin at the door
The dog was sleepin on the sofa
This place has never been this quiet before
You cant pretend it never happened
You cant pretend its still the same
You cant say you were only jokin
You cant keep thinkin things can go on this way
CHORUS
Some things you cant take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you cant take back
Though the glass has been broke
And the milk has been spilled
And your loves on the line
Some things you cant take back
When someone says theres no tomorrow
When the writings on the wall
After all have cried and spoken
And your poor heart has taken such a fall
REPEAT CHORUS
If I could reset the clock and go back in time
Id erase the thoughts that went through my mind
You know I never would leave
And Id still have you with me
You cant pretend it never happened
You cant pretend its still the same
You cant say you were only jokin
You cant keep thinkin things can go on this way
REPEAT CHORUS
Some things you cant take back
Cause in the cold light of day the pieces all blew away
And now Im livin a lie
Some things you cant take back

Youre gonna leave
Nothing I can say will stop you so it seems
But before you up and go
Theres just something you should know
When you find that Im the one you still need

One thin dime
Is all it takes
When you need someone who cares
These arms of mine
Are always open
One thin dime is all you need
And Ill be there
Oh youre chasing rainbows and I understand
When youre through Ill take you back again
Ill be waiting patiently
For when you come back to me
Aint nobody else can love you like I can
Repeat chorus
You know the number
Im always home
So honey just pick up and dial that telephone
When this world treats you unkind
Get your momma on the line
There aint no need for you to ever be alone

Oh theyre always open
One thin dime is all you need

Go Tell It On The Mountain
Chorus:
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the montain
That jesus christ is born
The sheperds all were watchin
Over the sheep at night
When a guiding star shone from heaven
And they followed that holy light
Repeat chorus:
They found a lowly manger
Where the humble christ was born
And God sent our salvation
On that blessed morn
Repeat chorus:
He brought with him forgiveness
He lived to show us the way
He came to redeem all creation
And to wash all our sins away

Attention (feat. Raphael Saadiq)
[Verse 1:]
I know that life has felt us many cards,
Sometimes I swear he's trying to make it hard, and i don't want to have to hide me faults.
But he got busy and let down the gaurds.
[Chorus repeat 1x:]
I need attention, from you, it's just the little things we do, pay attention it's on you,
Cause i can't help it i just like it when you do, yeah.
[Verse 2:]
I don't wanna nag and start a fight.
But sometimes you forget and i get tired.
If he was out of sight and out of mind.
So dawlin listen and just make it right.

[Bridge:]
You make my heart monsoon baby, and we could make life through baby,
So take my hand and we'll glide the way.

Just look me in my eyes.
Remember what makes me smile, you use to make me high, let's go way
Back in time, come baby lay me down.

Only Time Will Tell
Youre leaving now
Its in your eyes
Theres no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along
I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now
{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over
{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell

If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Youre on your own
Inside your room

You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

One thing is sure
That time will tell...

Angel From Montgomery
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child thats grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Chorus:
Make me an angel that flies from montgomry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He werent much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
Repeat chorus:
Theres flies in the kitchen I can hear em there buzzing
And I aint done nothing since I woke up today.
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say.

Shapes
Of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make man more wise

Within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
But will they seem the same

Come tomorrow
Will I be older
Come tomorrow
May be a soldier
Come tomorrow
Will I be bolder
Than today?

Now
The trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
Where time and tide have been

Fallen
Into your passing hands
Please dont destroy these lands
Dont make them desert sands

Far From Me
As the cafe was closing
On a warm summer night
And cathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played the hit parade
And I hummed a long with the tune
She asked me to change the station
Said the song just drove her insane
But it werent just the music playing
It was me that she was trying to blame.
Chorus:
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Aint it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring
But its far, far from me
Well, I leaned on my left leg
In the parking lot dirt
And cathy was closing the lights
A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I werent right
Why we used to laugh together
And wed dance to any old song.
Well, ya know, she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second to long.
Repeat chorus:
Well, I started the engine
And I gave it some gas
And cathy was closing her purse
Well, we hadnt gone far in my beat old car
And I was prepared for the worst.
Will you still see me tomorrow?
No, I got too much to do.
Well, a question aint really a question
If you know the answer too.

and they're selling your choices

and the magazine covers,
