Lyrics

• Where You Are

  There you are standing strong
  I’m a leaf holding on
  You believe like a child
  In this fire running wild
  Oh I love how you see right to the heart of me

  Chorus:
  You’re a waterfall washing over me
  I’m a thirsty man let me drink you in
  I am on my way
  You’re a mountain top
  When I reach for you
  Your love lifts me up
  And all that I want is to be
  Where you are

  I’m the frozen ground
  You’re the warm sunlight
  Shining down on me
  Baby, just in time
  I have never been in love like this
  Oh, you move my soul every time we kiss
  And I love how you heal
  I can’t believe how alive I feel

  Chorus:
  You’re a waterfall washing over me
  I’m a thirsty man let me drink you in
  I am on my way
  You’re a mountain top
  When I reach for you
  Your love lifts me up
  And all that I want is to be
  Where you are

• Bless The Broken Road

  I set out on a narrow way many years ago
  Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
  But I got lost a time or two
  Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
  I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you

  Chorus:
  Every long lost dream led me to where you are
  Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
  Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
  This much I know is true
  That God blessed the broken road
  That led me straight to you

  I think about the years I spent just passing through
  I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
  But you just smile and take my hand
  You’ve been there you understand
  It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

  Chorus:
  Every long lost dream led me to where you are
  Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
  Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
  This much I know is true
  That God blessed the broken road
  That led me straight to you

  Now I’m just rollin’ home into my lover’s arms
  This much I know is true
  That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you

• Then I Did

  I though about calling you when I got off the plane
  Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way
  Call me crazy for missing you like this but I do

  By now I figured you had all your numbers changed
  It’s been at least a year since I called you up to say
  We need to talk I got this job and I think I’m going to take it

  Chorus:
  Cause I been waiting all my life
  For a break like this
  It’s my chance of a lifetime I just know it is
  I gotta go find these dreams
  Was the last thing that I said
  And then I did

  I can see clear to the mountains as I head up our old street
  I remember how we’d call in sick on days like these
  And turn the music up roll the windows down and just drive
  You talked me outta givin’ up on myself so many times
  Convinced me to get in while I could regrets hang heavy on the mind
  But you never doubted me you kept pushing me

  Chorus 2:
  Saying you’ve been waiting all your life for a break like this
  It’s your chance of a lifetime you just know it is
  You gotta go find those dreams
  Was the last thing that you said
  And then I did

  *But you were wrong
  Love was what I wanted all along
  And now you’re gone.

  Though about calling you when I got off the plane
  Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way

• Feels Like Today

  I woke up this morning
  With this feeling inside me, that I can’t explain
  Like a weight that I’ve carried, been carried away, away
  But I know something is coming
  I don’t know what it is
  But I know it’s amazing, can save me my time is coming
  I’ll find my way out
  Of this longest drought

  Chorus:
  And it feels like today, I know
  It feels like today, I’m sure
  It’s the one thing that’s missing
  The one thing you’re wishing
  The last sacred blessing
  And hey, feels like today
  Feels like today

  I treated life like a picture
  But it’s not a moment that’s frozen in time
  It’s not gonna wait till I make up my mind, at all
  So while this storm is breaking
  While there’s light at the end of the tunnel
  I’ll keep running towards it
  Releasing the pressure that’s my heartache
  Soon this dam will break

  Chorus:
  And it feels like today, I know
  Feels like today, I’m sure
  It’s the one thing that’s missing
  The one thing you’re wishing
  The last sacred blessing and hey
  Feels like today
  Feels like today

• Fast Cars And Freedom

  Staring at you taking off your makeup
  Wondering why you even put it on
  I know you think you do, but baby, you don’t need it
  Wish that you could see what I see when it’s gone

  Chorus:
  I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
  Baby blue eyes and your head on my shoulder
  Wait, baby don’t move, right there it is
  A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
  That river was cold but we gave love a chance
  Yeah To me
  You don’t look a day over fast cars and freedom
  That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling

  Yeah smile and shake your head as if you don’t believe me
  I’ll just sit right here and let you take me back
  Got Cougar up on ten, Little Diddy ‘Bout Jack and Diane
  You’re laughing, singing with your feet up on the dash
  Remember that

  Chorus:
  I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
  Baby blue eyes and your head on my shoulder
  Wait, baby don’t move, right there it is
  A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
  That river was cold but we gave love a chance
  Yeah To me
  You don’t look a day over fast cars and freedom
  That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling

• When The Sand Runs Out

  I spent the morning at an old friend’s grave
  Flowers and amazing grace he was a good man
  But he spent his whole life spinning his wheels
  Never knowing how the real thing feels
  He never took a chance or took the time to dance
  And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye
  Today’s the first day of the rest of my life

  Chorus:
  I’m gonna stop looking back start moving on
  And learn how to face my fears
  Love with all of my heart make my mark
  I wanna leave something here
  Go out on a ledge without any net
  That’s what I’m gonna be about
  Yeah I wanna be running when the sand runs out

  Cause people do it every day promise themselves they’re gonna change
  I’ve been there
  But I’m changing from the inside out that was then this is now
  I’m a new man yeah I’m a brand new man
  And when they carve my stone they’ll write these words
  Here lies a man who lived life for all it was worth

• Here’s To You

  They got three in the front and four in the back of a civic
  Camped out all night on the sidewalk just to get tickets
  With their hands on the fence in the back by the buses and the limousines
  Just to get a glimpse of a drummer or a singer yeah anything
  And they come from miles around
  For that moment when the lights go out they scream

  Chorus:
  It’s the girls in the front row singing
  It’s the boys with the wheels that bring them
  It’s the lighters in the air and you guys up there
  You’re the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
  Here’s to you

  There’s a silver tongue blonde trying to sweet talk her way backstage
  There’s a mom and a dad in the aisle not acting their age
  There’s a wet corvette red lipstick print on a Coors Light cup
  And judging by the way she’s dancing I’d say she’s had enough
  The guitars come alive
  And you make us want to stay all night when you scream

  Chorus:
  It’s the girls in the front row singing
  It’s the boys with the wheels that bring them
  It’s the lighters in the air and you guys up there
  You’re the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do
  Here’s to you

  Chorus:
  It’s the girls in the front row singing
  It’s the boys with the wheels that bring them
  It’s the lighters in the air and you guys up there
  You’re the heart and the soul and the reason we do what we do

• The Day Before You

  I had all but given up
  On finding the one that I could fall into
  On the day before you
  I was ready to settle for
  Less than love and not much more
  There was no such thing as a dream come true
  Oh, but that was on the day before you

  Chorus:
  Now you’re here and everything’s changing
  Suddenly life means so much
  I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow
  And find out this promise is true
  I will never have to go back to
  The day before you

  In your eyes I see forever
  And it makes me wish that my life never knew
  The day before you
  Oh, but heaven knows those years without you
  Were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
  And if you’re the reason for all that I’ve been through
  Then I’m thankful for the day before you

  Chorus:
  Now you’re here and everything’s changing
  Suddenly life means so much
  I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow
  And find out this promise is true
  I will never have to go back to
  The day before you

  Bridge
  The day before you
  Was the last day that I ever lived alone
  And I’m never going back
  I’m never going back

  Chorus:
  Now you’re here and everything’s changing
  Suddenly life means so much
  I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow
  And find out this promise is true
  I will never have to go back to
  The day before you

• Break Away

  Opened my eyes this mornin’ with a smile on my face
  My arms wrapped around you took me away
  And it got me to thinkin’ what we need to do
  Is take a Sunday drive and drive on through
  Monday, Tuesday, through Friday and Saturday too

  Chorus:
  Let’s disappear, gotta jet out of here
  Feel the wind across our face
  We’ll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
  It’s a perfect day to break away

  We’ll hit Tulsa by Tuesday follow the stars above
  Spend the weekend in Vegas and gamble on sweet, sweet love
  It don’t matter what we do as long as I’m with you

  Chorus:
  Let’s disappear, gotta jet out of here
  Feel the wind across our face yeah
  We’ll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
  It’s a perfect day to break away

  Bridge
  Yeah, yeah
  Break away
  Yeah, yeah

  Let’s disappear, gotta jet outta here
  Feel the wind across our face yeah
  We’ll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
  It’s a perfect day
  Let’s disappear, gotta jet outta here
  Feel the wind across of face
  We’ll have some fun gonna dance on the run
  It’s a perfect day
  Girl it’s a perfect day to break away

• Holes

  There’s three in the hall
  From those pictures in the closet
  Two in the bedroom
  From that night that I lost it
  And one deep inside me
  Determined to stay
  They don’t get any bigger
  But they don’t go away

  Chorus:
  Holes in and around me
  I keep falling back into
  Holes dig in and surround me
  God knows that I’m gonna do
  To fill in these holes… left by you

  I poured drink after drink
  But nothing hit bottom
  I’ve been on my knees
  Admitted my problems
  The love that we made
  Is still barely an echo
  I’ll try anything
  In these vacant hollow

  Chorus:
  Holes in and around me
  I keep falling back into
  Holes dig in and surround me
  God knows that I’m gonna’ do
  To fill in these holes… left by you

  There’s two through my hands and one through my feet
  From this cross that I’ll bear till the day that I see
  It’s guilt and it’s blame it’s shame and it’s hell
  Seeking the truth… I’ve dug them myself

  All these holes dig in and surround me
  God knows what I’m gonna’ do
  To fill up these holes… left by you

• Oklahoma-Texas Line

  She’s got an ol’ dog it don’t like me much
  And that thing starts to bark its head off every time we touch
  Sittin’ on the porch and listenin’ to the radio
  We sing every single song we know even the ones we don’t
  She moves a little closer and she puts her hand in mine
  Oh what I wouldn’t give just to stop the hands of time

  Chorus:
  She’s got long blonde hair big blue eyes
  I got all I’ll ever need when that girl is by my side
  And everything I love is there inside
  The little brick house on the Oklahoma Texas Line

  She got a part time job at the Tasty Freeze
  She took the weekend off to spend a little time with me
  I got an ol’ car we drove to the edge of town
  We stopped by old man Miller’s farm just to watch the world spin around
  She moves a little closer and she puts her lips to mine
  Ain’t it funny how the good Lord outdoes himself sometimes

  Chorus:
  She’s got long blonde hair big blue eyes
  I got all I’ll ever need when that girl is by my side
  And everything I love is there inside
  The little brick house on the Oklahoma Texas Line

  Everything I love…
  Is there inside of…
  A little brick house with a blacktop drive a big ol’ tree names carved inside
  Long blonde hair big blue yes
  I got all I’ll ever need when that girl is by my side
  And everything I love is there inside
  In a little brick house on the Oklahoma Texas
  In a little brick house on the Oklahoma Texas line

• Skin (Sarabeth)

  Sara Beth is scared to death
  To hear what the doctor will say
  She hasn’t been well, since the day that she fell
  And the bruise just won’t go away

  So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
  And flips through an old magazine
  Till the nurse with the smile stands in the door
  And says will you please come with me

  Sara Beth is scared to death
  Cause the doctor just told her the news
  Between the red cells and white, something’s not right
  But we’re gonna take care of you

  Six chances in ten, it won’t come back again
  With the therapy we’re gonna try
  It’s just been approved, it’s the strongest there is
  And I think that we caught it in time
  And Sara Beth closes her eyes.

  Chorus:
  And she dreams she’s dancing
  Around and around without any cares
  And her very first love is holding her close
  And a soft wind is blowing her hair

  Sara Beth is scared to death
  As she sits holding her mom
  Cause it would be a mistake for someone to take
  A bald headed girl to the prom

  For just this morning, right here on her pillow
  Was the cruelest of any surprise
  And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
  The proof that she couldn’t deny
  And Sara Beth closes her eyes

  Chorus:
  And she dreams she’s dancing
  Around and around without any cares
  And her very first love is holding her close
  And a soft wind is blowing her hair

  Bridge
  It’s quarter to seven, that boy’s at the door
  And her daddy ushers him in
  And when he takes off his cap
  They all start to cry
  Cause this morning where his hair had all been
  Softly she touches just skin

  And they go dancing, around and around
  Without any cares
  And her very first true love is holding her close
  And for a moment she isn’t scared
