Bottom Rung 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Bottom Rung He’s got time to kill since she walked out on him So he empties his glass and fills it up again He has been sentenced to a prison of time He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life The wrongs he’s done may never be made right Life’s tarnished now where it once shined bright He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life A life with so much promise is now marred He let go of her by letting down his guard His pain cuts deep like a knife He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life The wrongs he’s done may never be made right Life’s tarnished now where it once shined bright He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life What’s done is done and he can’t change a thing He just accepts what the future may bring He looks back with a weary eye He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life The wrongs he’s done may never be made right Life’s tarnished now where it once shined bright He’s on the bottom rung on the ladder of his life

As if I Don't Belong 04:16
lyrics
buy track
As if I Don’t Belong I never had a vision Of how things should be I seemed to lack direction Missing things I should see I can’t blame it on the rambling That’s the path I chose And I choose not dwell On things I may never know But too many thoughts invade today With the future locked away I keep waiting for a sign To let me know its time But the hours keep marching along As if I don’t belong A vagabond like me Without the warmth of a flame I have little I can offer I accept all the blame So somewhere down the road You may see me A man without a vision Trying to see what he can see But too many thoughts invade today With the future locked away I keep waiting for a sign To let me know its time But the hours keep marching along As if I don’t belong

Four Roses 03:56
lyrics

Four Roses I see the end creeping in Blowing around like a cold winter wind And here I go wanting you again You come and you go the wind still blows on this dark country road I have your picture in my pocket You had mine in a silver locket But how I feel you forgot it And I carrying this load Like time I am owed on this dark country road Four roses on the bottle Three Sheets to the wind Two lives going separate ways One love coming to an end I still want you, again and again I am the man I’ve always been my steel heart has turned to tin I’ve loaned my soul To the monster below on this dark country road I stopped praying a long time ago When the answers came too slow But here I am and here I go On my knees alone With a future unknown on this dark country road

I Think About You All the Time 04:39
lyrics
buy track
I Think About You all the Time All these years have made me older, Since the last time I saw your face The winters feel much colder, Maybe its time I leave this place I’m living but I’m living without you, And you are still on my mind, I keep thinking there’s something I can do, I think about you all the time, I think about you all the time, The hours just keep on dragging on But the months they seem to fly by Its time for me to be getting gone But I’m not sure if I can try I’m living but I’m living without you, And you are still on my mind, I keep thinking there’s something I can do, I think about you all the time, I think about you all the time, My guess is that you have moved on And I don’t blame you if that’s true Living as I’m living with everything gone Leaves little for me to give you I’m living but I’m living without you, And you are still on my mind, I keep thinking there’s something I can do, I think about you all the time, I think about you all the time,

Days Gone By 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Days Gone By Gone are the days Our resurrected ways I guess I’m a self made fool Long time forgotten Living on the bottom Sitting on two legged stool Holden out hope Trying to cope Until things start looking up Punching the clock makes time stop and can leave a man with an empty cup Days gone by, by gone days The seasons turn quickly Another memory fades Its hard to tell the tears from the rain between now and then pleasure and pain There is the sunrise Blinding my eyes To all of the good that could be But I’m glad to see the day In my pessimistic way Because maybe you’ll be coming home to me

Too Late To Pray 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Too Late to Pray There is worn out old man Sitting at the bar Lost everything he had Fighting the demon war But his heart still beats For one long ago Drinking moonshine in the sunshine Instead of the falling snow. He knows it gets harder Every single day He knows his darkness May never go away Too late to pray Every time the sun comes up He wonders if it’s his last He’s been drinking from an empty cup With nothing to shape his past These days are long cold But there is fire every night He finds himself running for cover Those demons still looking to fight He knows it gets harder Every single day He knows his darkness May never go away Too late to pray

The Pump Needs Primed 03:44
lyrics
buy track
The Pump Needs Primed I’ve heard love can be deceiving I know that’s what I have found The coming is better than the leaving Its better without making a sound There’s water in the well but the pump needs primed We can’t let moss grow on our stones It seems at times I’ve lost my mind But old is not the only way I’ve grown We’ve tried everything except moving on But you are wrapped tight around my mind Maybe we’ve been like this for too long Is there any more for us to find There’s water in the well but the pump needs primed We can’t let moss grow on our stones It seems at times I’ve lost my mind But old is not the only way I’ve grown I know quite well I have made mistakes But I still say I love you out loud When morning comes I grind out the day Losing myself in the crowd There’s water in the well but the pump needs primed We can’t let moss grow on our stones It seems at times I’ve lost my mind But old is not the only way I’ve grown

Skin on Skin 04:36
lyrics

Skin on Skin She slipped into her clothes and into the night Leaving me alone to contemplate her flight I know you’re on the road to find love again Please take me with you let me be your journey’s end We’ve both been down this road many times before Living for the moment never considering more But I for one am tired of these one night stands But I am not sure I can make you understand Some times man needs more than skin on skin Maybe make a connection that something more might begin A time to look past the next day’s dawn Roll the dice for a change and let the past be gone What is it you’re chasing stars falling from the sky? Stars don’t really fall they just burn up in the night Don’t you think you should slow down and smell the roses along the way? I promise I will try and make your smile stay But I guess you travel alone there’s no room by your side For a man who loves and all your woman’s pride I am sure I will get along and live another day I wish you Godspeed and safety along your way Some times man needs more than skin on skin Maybe make a connection that something more might begin A time to look past the next day’s dawn Roll the dice for a change and let the past be gone

Wrangler and Carhartt 03:33
lyrics

Wrangler and Carhartt Someone said friends don’t let friends line dance Cause that’s not what cowboys do I prefer to dance one on one So I can enjoy the view My hat is a Stetson or maybe a Bailey It is weather worn fits like new If you want Sunday best on a Friday night I have a clue for you I don’t were Armani, I don’t own a Prada My jeans are all still blue You’ll need to take me as I am Wrangler and Carhartt will just have to do I drive an old Ford F-150 truck It leaks just a bit of oil But I can park it anywhere There is no new paint to spoil Some say I clean up pretty darn good And I can dance a mean country swing But try and dress me like them city boys And it will be the last you see of me I don’t were Armani, I don’t own a Prada My jeans are all still blue You’ll need to take me as I am Wrangler and Carhartt will just have to do My Justin boots are made in the USA And Coors is my beer of choice I go to bed tired from a day of hard work And go to sleep to Hank senior’s voice So don’t expect me to get dressed up I’m a simple man with simple needs And I don’t eat tofu, sushi, or sprouts Its Meat and potatoes for me I don’t were Armani, I don’t own a Prada My jeans are all still blue You’ll need to take me as I am Wrangler and Carhartt will just have to do

Good Road 03:31
lyrics
buy track
A Good Road The sun rose up this morning, Again, like it has for all time But there was something special about this morning You were there when the sun began to shine It’s been a long time since I held someone Who understands what I've been Who can look past what I’ve left undone, To see me for who I am A good road lies ahead of me now With gentle turns that wind through the mountains. If only you will stay by me now And welcome many morning to come And if there comes a time I must stand alone. I will give thanks for the time we shared. I will revel in the things that you have shown, And know how you answer a prayer. A good road lies ahead of me now With gentle turns that wind through the mountains. If only you will stay by me now And welcome many morning to come
