Spaces 04:27
Yellow moon, silver fields And fireflies like spinning wheels Past the pumpjacks in the night Raised like hammers to the sky A flatland salute to a twenty year goodbye To the hazy nights in your brother’s car Drinkin’ cheap red wine at only bar Tried to drown your tracks But you never got very far From the miles of blue And your dusty hands Off the gravel roads And the beaten path But when you lost your everything And what we had wasn’t all it seemed You left us in the spaces in between On the county line we’d drive too fast Tryin’ to chase the future, outrun the past On half-built dreams that were never meant to last ‘Cuz this place dried up when the fields turned brown And the walls closed in when the mill shut down And a blood red sun was the only thing around ‘Cept the miles of blue And your dusty hands Off the gravel roads And the beaten path But when you lost your everything And what we had wasn’t all it seemed You left us in the spaces in between December winds and prairie arch Crossed winter’s bridge to break my heart A million miles, a thousand lives apart So pictures fade to amber light From summer switchgrass to silent night Remind you of the spaces left in time From the miles of blue And your dusty hands Off the gravel roads And the beaten path But when you’ve lost your everything And where you are ain’t all it seems You’ll find it in the faces You’ll find it in the places You’ll find it in the spaces In between

Red Eye Haze 04:11
I woke up in a red eye haze I’ve been driftin’ thru for a thousand days You hit me like a ton of bricks And something’s got to fix me quick So I can face morning sun To straighten up enough, just to come undone But I’m certain you can see right through I crumble standin’ next to you…next to you And I don’t care if you go I don’t care if you stay ‘Cuz I’m already gone In this red eye haze In a red eye haze Just tell me if I get too close To standin’ at your dead end road Well you don’t know how hard I try To fight the urge to cross that line When you can’t give in but you can’t hold back You break it down to the simple facts That it’s too late to turn back time To steal your heart and give up mine I’d give up mine And I don’t care if you go I don’t care if you stay ‘Cuz I’m already gone In this red eye haze In a red eye haze It’s getting hard to hold out friend It’s hard watching you wanting her And I can’t make sense out of nothing On a road that goes nowhere I woke up in a red eye haze Of whiskey nights and heartbreak days You hit me like a ton of bricks And something’s gotta fix me quick And I don’t care if you go I don’t care if you stay ‘Cuz I’m already gone In this red eye haze In a red eye haze

What If I 04:57
She’s under your skin And taken your heart Tell me what I am I to do, what am I to do, what am I to do Now that you’re gone So you’re on your own road With changes a- head And I have been a fool, livin’ in a dream, pretendin’ you were mine, Hopin’ you’d care Did you know this indifference is all a disguise I swear I don’t hurt, but you know that’s a lie What if I told you I needed you now And all that you are is all I think about What if I What if I What if I I always knew She’d be the one The way I have always known, I have always known My feelings were wrong Let me go home now Cuz I’m not that strong Because laughin’ next to you, standin’ next to you, invisible to you I’ve never been so alone Did you know this indifference is all a disguise I swear I don’t hurt, but you know that’s a lie, that’s a lie What if I told you I needed you now And all that you are is all I think about What if I What if I What if I broke down and told you the truth What if I loved you the way I want to What if I What if I What if I told you I barely hang on Watching you holdin’ her there in your arms What if I told you I needed you now And all that you are is all I think about What if I What if I What if I broke down and told you the truth What if I loved you the way I want to What if I What if I

It’s dry as a bone here this summer The weeds have grown waist high since you’ve been gone With your words still sidewindin’ through me They’re dragging me down; I can’t seem to push on And I woke up this morning hung over again So I drank my last bottle of wine Burnin’ and bitter going down, down, down Time’s trying to kill me And I’m just tryin’ to kill time There is a bare hook and nail On this wall, baby Where your picture used to hang And I’ll wait forever in this house all alone ‘Cuz it’s become My resting place The yellow jackets are nesting in the rafters I can hear them hummin’ from my room I can swear that it’s you whispering to me baby And I swear that I’ll be broken down to ashes soon There is a bare hook and nail On this wall, baby Where your picture used to hang And I’ll wait forever in this house all alone ‘Cuz it’s become My resting place I don’t need a stranger’s hand to guide me To lead me to some higher ground ‘Cuz your love just takes me to a cold dark place Where a part of me is still hidin’ It ain’t ready to come out There is a bare hook and nail On this wall, baby Where your picture used to hang And I’ll wait forever in this house all alone It’s become My resting place There is a bare hook and nail On this wall, baby Where your picture used to hang And I’ll wait forever in this house all alone ‘Cuz it’s become My resting place

Patsy Cline 04:04
She slithered through the drugstore A cooler Patsy Cline Her eyes shot right through me And cracked my jug of wine My heart is splittin’ open My mind’s become a wreck Somebody gotta save me From the hive inside my head Here she comes in vintage Wearin’ snakeskin boots The girl’s become a legend I never had a clue About your message waiting for me The writing on the wall The bough about to break Another axe about to fall Never mind you quittin’ Never mind you run I’ll be down home in the cellar Tryin’ to make a little fun You’re walkin’ after midnight Wishin’ on your star And I will fall to pieces Put my sweet dreams in a jar My mouth’s as dry as cotton She’s a suffocating weed My eyes are glazing over From the stories that I read It’s not like I’d forget you You’re always on my mind But the sound of her boots crackin’ Follows close behind Never mind you quittin’ Never mind you run I’ll be down home in the cellar Tryin’ to make a little fun You’re walkin’ after midnight Wishin’ on your star And I will fall to pieces Put my sweet dreams in a jar Crazy, I’m going crazy She’s got you I fall to pieces Crazy, I’m going crazy She’s got you I fall to pieces Never mind you quittin’ Never mind you run I’ll be down home in the cellar Tryin’ to make a little fun You’re walkin’ after midnight Wishin’ on your star And I will fall to pieces Put my sweet dreams in a jar

Been movin’ on Been lookin’ back But all it takes is just one yesterday And I’m gone off the tracks I’m shaken up I’m black and blue I’ve been sleepwalkin’ in circles And I don’t know what to do I’m tryin’ to push myself a little farther down the line So just quit talking ‘cuz you’ll make me fall behind I don’t miss you much I don’t miss you much I don’t miss you much So we’ll cut it loose Then you come round, round, round But you can’t hide and seek me Whenever you get down I’m layin’ low And I wanna hide, hide ‘Cuz I know what I’ll discover And I’m scared what you might find You can try and run me straight into the ground But your words are so clear that I can see right through them now I see through them now.... I’m tryin’ to get myself a little farther down the line And I can’t wait to see you ‘cuz All I got is time I don’t miss you much I don’t miss you much I don’t miss you much I don’t miss you much

Ruin Me 03:44
Ruin me, I wanna fall apart Lay me out for the count Help me forget, baby take me down And ruin me Hour by hour fadin’ away Stealin’ the nights, hidin’ the days Too set in stone to change my ways So ruin me I got my Maker’s to set things straight And I got Sunday for sleepin’ late I had a plan to make it right But not tonight So ruin me Ruin me Framed in blue, her confident gaze And a way with words put me in my place I’m out of touch, can’t play in the game So ruin me Your two cents was sweet, It made me smile But I stand in my way mile after mile ‘Til I can’t feel anything, so once in a while You can ruin me I’m gettin’ lines where I had none And clouds rollin’ by where I had sun I had faith but now it’s gone, Everyone’s gone I got my Makers to set things straight And I got Sunday for sleepin’ late I had a plan to make it right But not tonight So ruin me, ruin me Ruin me, ruin me

Athabasca 04:51
I’m headed north bound, back to my hometown Haven’t seen you for a while You say drive faster; we’ll meet at the tavern I’ll make it in 20 more miles Well I’ve learned a few things about heartbreak and gold rings And I can admit you were right…you were right Shake off the snow, bar lights turned low You say ‘you’re exactly the same - It’s sure great to see you, you look good, what’s new I’m really happy you came’ Well everyone in here knows what we’re after A long winter melting a-way But you can’t hold time Makin’ up lost years in one single night You can’t go back Or keep yesterday in the palm of your hand It slips away, fadin’ like the sun at the end of the day It’s a long time gone We’re a long way from home Athabasa We sift through the ashes You make a few passes, There’s courage in whiskey and beer Kissin’ tears off of my face Take me to your place Say the things I wanna hear Where am I going I’m helpless and falling Feels like I’ve just disappeared, disappeared But you can’t hold time Makin’ up lost years in one single night You can’t go back Or keep yesterday in the palm of your hand It slips away, fadin’ like the sun at the end of the day It’s a long time gone We’re a long way from home Athabasca Gray morning light in a small town hotel Spills over our clothes and regrets where they fell And it seems just a whisper could shatter the spell But you can’t hold time Makin’ up lost years in one single night You can’t go back Or keep yesterday in the palm of your hand It slips away, fadin’ like the sun at the end of the day It’s a long time gone We’re a long way from home And we’re too far gone, Athabasca

Well it’s dead outside And it pains me You won’t pass this way again There’s nothing left The winter wheat’s long gone I’m drawing dust with every breath like wildfire I'm down on my knees row by row black rust took the fields Knife in my back, fork in the road Took a girl out west And I watched you go A million days and a thousand miles Won’t help this fade to black I can see her in the bedroom Draggin’ nails down your back And time will get the best of me ‘Cuz it’s counting down in memories Yesterday won’t let me be It won’t set me free Oh lonesome me Cryin’ out to you Your letter lies on the table What can I do But read it and weep I feel beat down ‘Cuz I fell so hard I can barely stand up straight And the north wind’s shakin’ her tail at me Sayin’ winter’s on its way And the eaves are creaking and groaning loud While shadows shift under heavy cloud I need you but you can’t save me now You can’t save me now Oh lonesome me Cryin’ out to you Your letter lies on the table What can I do But read it and weep There’s something that lives in the silence And tightens its grip on me It’s draggin’ me down into blackness Where you can’t see You’ll never see...... Oh lonesome me Cryin’ out to you Your letter lies on the table What can I do Oh lonesome me Cryin’ out to you Your letter lies on the table What can I do But read it and weep...

The One 03:55
Here comes the latest on the scene Crazy lay, tighter than a trampoline Your newest reigning midlife crisis queen Hopeless, helpless, mindless fun Easy prey for you; she plays it cute and dumb I’m countin’ down the days until she’s gone Until she’s gone Well l hope this high don’t clear too soon I can’t think about the things I know you do ‘Cuz I’m so far gone, and I can’t stand That she’s moved in on the one that I can’t have That I can’t have You don’t have to ask, I swear I’m fine And I swear I don’t lie awake at night Dreamin’ up ways to get you off my mind I ‘m backing down, it don’t work too well ‘Cuz I crave your touch and it hurts like hell To watch you walk the line with someone else With someone else Well l hope this high don’t clear too soon I can’t think about the things she does to you ‘Cuz I’ve fallen so hard baby I can’t stand That she moved in on the one that I can’t have That I can’t have Lord its killing me the way she’s claimed you You’re my beautiful mess and the cold hard truth Is there ain’t a goddamned thing that I can do About the moonlight spillin’ on her raven hair Or the morning after when you’re sleepin’ there Captured in twisted sheets, it don’t seem fair It don’t seem fair Well l hope this high don’t clear too soon I can’t think about the things she does to you ‘Cuz I’ve fallen so hard baby I can’t stand That she moved in on the one that I can’t have That I can’t have

The silence in this room is deafening I can hear the creakin’ of my bones I can hear the dust dancin’ in sun beams Lord how I wish you didn’t go And ain’t it funny how The biggest storms don’t make a sound When an old man’s soul goes drifting away On a breeze in the middle of the night It’s a quiet as the stirring, when leaves start to turning And summer whispers goodbye And ain’t it funny how The biggest storms don’t make a sound Well who knows what tomorrow brings A gypsy’s curse on angel’s wings No one can predict these things And this is what I’ve found The biggest storms don’t make a sound When a young man falls in love and it’s the real thing And it feels so good words can’t describe That poor boy’s heart is about to jump out Because he can’t contain the joy that’s inside And ain’t it funny how The biggest storms don’t make a sound Well who knows what tomorrow brings A gypsy’s curse on angel’s wings No one can predict these things And this is what I’ve found The biggest storms don’t make a sound
