On this high and lonesome road I broke down and called it home And I keep both my eyes on that road You say “Everything is fine” Frowning down into your wine Taste like another bitter night One too many one more time You... Get mad and throw your shoe at me I walk out into the street You’re drunk, and I hate everything Sometimes I wish we never met Tonight, I’m through with this And I just need to take a ride Up this high and lonesome road Where I go to be alone It’s just me and the moon in the night On this high and lonesome road I ain't ever going home And l sleep on the porch of the sky The moon is fox red The sky is cornflower blue A potholed gravel strand But God what a view I said everything would change, But then I just stayed the same. Oh well, I guess that I’m to blame. And you were gone before I even came. Up this high and lonesome road I don’t want to be alone But I made my own bed here I lie On this high and lonesome road I broke down and called it home And I sleep on the porch of the sky I’ve never been too great At reading the signs Must have crossed A thousand dotted lines Stars are crashing over Balsam and pine Seems just fine to me. I’ll be alright. On this high and lonesome road Where I go to be alone It’s just me and the moon tonight

Summertime 03:22
Oh the sun is rising Through the mist o'er the Will-o'-the-wisp Of the Banshee's wailing For a friend long ago, long ago Oh the town is mourning For a future stolen away I'm a lonely, leary, wasted son of a bitch In a worn-down, weary, old mill town in the sticks Makeup can't hide your crooked lines A gruff voice is spelling out the signs And if there ever was a dream out here it died But summertime Feels alright It feels just fine It feels alright It's another "Going out of Business" sign It's another freight train hauling ass down the line Your boutique downtown is bound to die 'Cause Walmart's just Wallstreet without the tie And the people look like they're about to cry 'Till they resign To summertime It feels just fine Feels alright Oh the mountains are calling Calling me, I must go, I must go

Moonlight 04:15
Moonlight moonlight Swing her on the crest Soft kiss, sweetheart Spilling happiness (Will you) wander over In your favorite dress Fire burns in the rye You’re perfect, you’re a mess She’s singing Swing me on the crest In her favorite dress Has it been so long? Summer’s come and gone (and it’s gone) Firefly, glow bright Has it been so long? Kiss her I might Before the night done (Will you) be here be here When the summer’s gone? Hiding, feelings Like we’re still so young She’s singing Swing me on the crest In her favorite dress Has it been so long? Summer’s come and gone (and it’s gone) Walk into her room Go in go in Life is in full bloom Go in go in Summer...

In the deeps of time In the deeps of time There’ll be love in the ruins of a home There’ll be peace and joy There’ll be peace and joy All the love that was promised at our birth I want peace like a river I want hope in my soul I want you to know You are forgiven Even though, even though Oh the birds will sing O’er the world turned green And made new by the choices that we make Oh the Earth will spring With water cool and clean And the winds that blow will carry us to sing And we will sing I want peace like a river I want hope in my soul I want you to know You are forgiven Even though, even though Brother Bluebird flies In Carolina skies And he sings above the ruins of our home

Summer days begin With a song on the wind And I kick off my shoes outside With my feet in the sand Where the ocean meets the land I am shaking off those winter blues There’s a storm passing by But you pay it no mind You keep playing in the rising tide And it’s all I can do To not run up and kiss you But I keep all those thoughts inside A stone is thrown into the sea Angles left then out of reach … To be alone Well these days they become our life With all their joys and strife We’re in love with everyone Until we say goodbye Summer nights begin With a few of our friends And we dance 'round a fire so bright Fall in love once again As the stars start to spin She sings a lullaby as ships float in The moon is rising o'er the sea Getting late but stay with me …You don't have to be alone Well these days they become our life As the nights bend out of sight We’re in love with everyone Until we say goodbye We’re all passing out on the beach Stars still just a bit out of reach You’re in love with everyone But you curl up next to me
