Thinkin

(Verse)
Well, I think I got it all
I got it all figured out
I’ve traveled around
People say I’m well-read now

(Pre-Chorus)
But I get this feeling
That every time I was thinking
I took the wrong damn road

(Chorus)
Ah what’s thinking ever done
It's highly overrated
I get myself tongue tied
I think I know just what I’m saying
But I didn’t write the lines
To this part I’m playing
I’m just over thinking
What’s thinking ever done

(Verse)
I gotta get around
And get my focus straight
I’ll get up early, do everything right
Won’t stay up late

(Pre-Chorus)
But I get this feeling
That every time I was thinking
I took the wrong damn road

(Chorus)
Ah what’s thinking ever done
It's highly overrated
I get myself tongue tied
I think I know just what I’m saying
But I didn’t write the lines
To this part I’m playing
I’m just over thinking
What’s thinking ever done

(Verse)

Well, I know, yes, I know
I gotta get my act together
If I keep my focus straight
There ain’t nothing I can’t weather

(Pre-Chorus)
But I get this feeling
That every time I was thinking
I took the wrong damn road

(Chorus)
Ah what’s thinking ever done
It's highly overrated
I get myself tongue tied
I think I know just what I’m saying
But I didn’t write the lines
To this part I’m playing
I’m just over thinking
What’s thinking ever done

A Kiss In 3/4 Time

(Verse)
Can I have this dance
It’s just you and I at last
Could this be another chance?
To forget about the past

Well, a waltz will have to do
I’m not that fancy after all
And more tender than stepping two
Let’s move the table to the hall

(Chorus)
And this ain’t just some old love
This ain’t no one nightstand
So go light up your last candle
We’ll burn it back by both ends

Cause this ain’t no right or wrong song
And I didn’t have to make it rhyme
But I just thought you’d like
A kiss in 3/4 time.

(Verse)
So let your hair hang long
Cause it’s just and I tonight
And I’m in love now, don’t you know?
And this time I’m sure it’s right

So, let’s light a little fire
We’ll make dinner just for two
I can’t wait until the morning
All I want to see is you

(Chorus)
And this ain’t just some old love
This ain’t no one nightstand
So go light up your last candle
We’ll burn it back by both ends

Cause this ain’t no right or wrong song
And I didn’t have to make it rhyme
But I just thought you’d like
A kiss in 3/4 time.

(Outro)
Yes I just thought you’d like
A kiss in 3/4 time

There’s a Reason

(Verse)
I returned the million dollars
I did once find on the tracks
And I’ve helped a man out
Who once stabbed me in the back
To get my revenge
I’ve had the opportunity
There’s a reason why you’re scared of me

And on a few occasions
I’ve been down to my last dime
I thought to take what I hadn’t earned
But in time I would find
And if I’d only done it
Now I’d have all the money
There’s a reason why you’re scared of me

(Chorus)
And I ain’t always right
But that’s alright by me
I begged and I said I’m sorry
Oh yes I’ve prayed and I even plead
I’ve thrown myself down on my knees
Asking for forgiveness please
Why do I still feel like I’m a thief

(Verse)
I’ve seen a glimpse of the truth
Scared name of names
And though I still refuse
They say I must play a game
I live my life now in unbridled certainty
There’s a reason why you’re scared of me

And this ain’t luck
Nah, it’s sacrifice
Fool me once and I won’t think twice
To turn my back and save my dignity
There’s a reason why you’re scared of me

(Chorus)
Cause I ain’t always right
But that’s alright by me
I begged and I said I’m sorry
Oh yes I’ve prayed and I even plead
I’ve thrown myself down on my knees
Asking for forgiveness please
Why do I still feel like I’m a thief

(Outro)
I returned the million dollars
I did once find on the tracks
I’ve helped a man out
Who once stabbed me in the back
To get my revenge
I’ve had the opportunity
There’s a reason why you’re scared of me

See You Again

(Verse)
Well, I’m back in the cit where we first met
We were both drunk that night, but I won’t forget
The way it all went down
You told it a million times

And I wonder now just where you are
I’m alone in our old park on a bench where I told ya
Told ya a million times

(Chorus)
That I have got to see you again
You say this never really started
We’re better off friends
I can say I love you and this can be the end
Oh, I have got to see you again

(Verse)
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen my heart
Looking for love like a shot in the dark
And you’ve probably heard it
They told you a million times

And I don’t think you said I love you once
But you bought that book of poems that
You gave me over lunch
And I said those three words
I’ve said them a million times

(Chorus)
Now, I have got to see you again
You say this never really started
We’re better off friends
I can say I love you and this can be the pretend
I have got to see you again

(Bridge)
No, you’re not the one who got away
Oh, for you that’d be cliche
The irony now is you’re on the mend
And I have got to see you again

(Chorus)
Oh, I have got to see you again
You say this never really started
We’re better off friends
Well, I can say I love you and this can be the end
I have got to see you again

(Verse)
Well, I’m back in the city where we first met
We were both drunk that night, but I won’t forget
The way it all went down
You told it a million times

And I wonder now just where you are
I’m alone in our old park on a bench where I told ya
Told ya a million times

(Chorus)
That, I have got to see you again
You say this never really started
We’re better off friends
I can say I love you and know that it’s the end
I have got to see you again
Yes, I have got to see you again
Oh, I have got to see you again

Fishing For A Memory

(Verse)
By the fading fire’s flame
With drinks in our hands
I sit on the back porch
With my old man
He’s asking bout the kids
Ain’t it crazy to let em go
From my wallet I pulled a picture
We leaned in towards the glow

(Chorus)
There ain’t nothing that he can’t handle
I ain’t never seen him not pull through
He thinks he looks like his dad
But he favors his mama
And damn he reminds me of you

(Verse)
Like the live oak grows old
Daddy he grew older
Fishing through a keepsake picture book
He pulls one out, it’s of his father
He said come on in here close
And get you a look

(Chorus)
Cause there ain’t nothing that he can’t handle
I ain’t never seen him not pull through
He thinks he looks like his dad
But he favors his mama
And damn he reminds me of you

(Bridge)
Oh, he reminds me of you
Well, I’ll say it’s true
I keep a picture, yes I do
Cause oh, he reminds me of you

(Verse)
Now I find myself an older man
Headed upright and toward the end
And I sit on the back porch
With my son as my best friend
He’s talking of his life and how it all came to be
From his wallet he pulls a picture says reminds him of me

(Chorus)
Cause there ain’t nothing that he can’t handle
I ain’t never seen him not pull through
He thinks he looks like his dad
But he favors his mama
And damn he reminds me of you

(Outro)
Oh, he reminds me of you
Well, I’ll say it’s true
I keep a picture, yes I do
Cause oh, he reminds me of you

Unburied Hatchet

(Verse)
If you say you love God
How can you hate your neighbor?
Oh, my brother
Love is but a labor

(Pre-Chorus)
And you’re holding that ol hatchet in your hand
And telling me what is what
Acting like you’re the bigger man

(Chorus)
So I’m moving on
Growing up
Doing better than before
And it was fun for a time
You take the low road and call it high
And I’m sure you will find someone else with whom to fight

(Verse)
You wrote a bunch of letters
Thought without me that you’d be better
It’s been a few years
Still hurts you left me here

(Pre-Chorus)
You’re holding that ol hatchet in your hand
And telling me what is what
Like I’ll never understand

(Chorus)
So I’m moving on
Growing up
Doing better than before
And it was fun for a time
You take the low road and call it high
And I’m sure you will find someone else with whom to fight

(Bridge)
And just know that I miss you
I feel bad about the issues
I wish that we could be friends again
Cause I’m gonna love ya til the end
My friend

(Chorus)
And I’m moving on
Growing up
Doing better than before
And it was fun for a time
You take the low road and call it high
And I’m sure you will find someone else with whom to fight

(Verse)
And now you say you love God
But can’t admit it when you’re wrong
And damn it’s such a shame
Cause I’d take half the blame

(Pre-Chorus)
You said we buried that hatchet in the land
But you dug it right back up
Now you’re all about demands

(Chorus)
So I’m moving on
Growing up
Doing better than before
And it was fun for a time
You take the low road and call it high
And I’m sure you will find someone else with whom to fight

(Chorus)
And I’m moving on
Growing up
Doing better than before
And it was fun for a time
You take the low road and call it high
And I’m sure you will find someone else with whom to fight

(Outro)
Cuz I’m sure you will find someone else with whom to fight

You’re So Much Better

(Verse)
You said you were low down
With a back that did ache
You’d quit all your trying
A heart that’d been staked
You reached out both arms
And filled your cup with my hands
Now you’re so much better than me

(Verse)
I gave ya some of my work
So you’d get ahead
Come and sit at my table
Be well and be fed
You took what you could
You ate with your hands
Now you’re so much better than me

(Chorus)
And what do you think
That I cannot see
That I do not hear
What you’re saying of me
Don’t you remember when you were low down
I was the only friend that you had around

(Bridge)
But that was so long ago
I threw my pearls as if they were stones
Now you want me to sit at the foot of your throne
Cause you’re so much better than me

(Verse)
I got a call from the hospital
You had a late night out
I took you to lunch
You sat there to pout
You asked my advice on how to be a man
Well, you’re so much better than me

(Chorus)
And what do you think
That I cannot see
That I do not hear
What you’re saying of me
Don’t you remember when you were low down
I was the only friend that you had around

(Outro)
Yes I was the only one who cared in this town

Walls

(Verse)
I’ve got my walls
And they were put here to protect me
I built them up so long ago
And you could try
Yes, you can try to look around them
And when they slow me down you could let me know

(Chorus)
But each brick you try to pick a part
Is building a pathway further from my heart
There are some things I’d rather you not see at all
I’ve got my walls

(Verse)
I got my walls
And they usually protect me
But sometimes block the way so it goes
You could try
You can try to jump over
But I’m not breaking ‘em down or letting go

(Chorus)
But each brick you try to pick a part
Is building a pathway further from my heart
There are some things I’d rather you not see at all
I’ve got my walls

(Bridge)
And you could try
To get to know me a little more
Instead of counting bricks
You could build yourself a door
And come inside these walls

(Chorus)
And each brick you try to pick a part
Is building a pathway further from my heart
There are some things I’d rather you not see at all
I’ve got my walls

(Verse)
I’ve got my walls
And they can be a bit deceiving
But I am true to you for sure
Yes, I got walls
Yea they keep people out
But there’s room inside these walls, an open door

(Chorus)
But each brick you try to pick a part
Is building a pathway further from my heart
There are some things I’d rather you not see at all
I’ve got my walls

(Outro)
I’ve got my walls
I’ve got my walls

Look Out This Might Be Love

(Verse)
I really miss you
I just want to kiss you
You stay steady on my mind
And I’m thinking of you
Wondering all about you
Look out
This might be love
Elena don’t worry, it’s all right

(Verse)
And I know that it won’t be long
We’ll be singing our favorite song
And dancing like no one is even home
And you’ll stop to kiss me
I’m so glad that you miss me
Look out
This might be love
Elena don’t worry, it’s alright

(Chorus)
True love has no happy ending
Because true love it never ends
To you alone, my heart I’m sending
Elena don’t worry, it’s alright

(Verse)
I wish I could hug you
Be right there with you
You stay steady on my mind
Now your thinking of me
Wondering all about me
Look out
This might be love
Elena don’t worry, it’s alright

(Chorus)
True love has no happy ending
Because true love it never ends
To you alone, my heart I’m sending
Elena don’t worry, it’s alright

(Outro)
Elena don’t worry
Elena don’t worry
Elena don’t worry, it’s alright

Waiting

(Verse)
Well, I like to watch them pretty birds
It keeps my mind of dying
There is no use in trying
Cause I don’t care anymore

Well, I stay out late just to be somewhere
And I watch the moon undying
I get a sense there’s no untying
All the knots I wove before

Who are you to ask me?
There’s no need for clarifying
Cause I’m only unifying
Myself with something more

(Chorus)
And know I’m waiting
On some help to change
I will find my way
Though I’ve lost it before
Got a guarantee that I will keep it this time
Oh, I’m towing the line and knocking on your door

(Bridge)
And they say do what makes you happy
Work hard and then you can be the boss
You should have seen the way
They were all just laughing at me
When I was out there on my own
Just paying what it cost

(Verse)
Well, I ain’t got much but at least I can say
I ain’t never bent the knee
I treat all equal to me
You can’t really ask for more

Well, I done my time and enjoyed my name
Up there on the marquee
It woulda been better on an old oak tree
That I planted when I was poor

You know I guess I coulda really been somebody
If I’d only got a master’s degree
Or if I took more vitamin D
Oh, I am such a bore.

(Chorus)
And know I’m waiting
On some help to change
I will find my way
Though I’ve lost it before
Got a guarantee that I will keep it this time
Oh, I’m towing the line and knocking on your door
