Song Lyrics

Haven't You Heard


You think you know

You thought you knew

What you've been told

You held hard onto

What someone said as a die hard truth

They say, "trust me on this you don't need no proof."

Haven't you heard the other side of the wind?

Haven't you seen the other side of the mountain?

Maybe you're the one who could change the world

The world could use you now

Haven't you heard?

You think you see

What you've been shown

You try to believe

You have faith and hope

You reach out your hand

For someone to take

With an open heart

Just to watch it break.

Haven't you heard the other side of the wind?

Haven't you seen the other side of the mountain?

Maybe you're the one who could change the world

The world could use you now

Haven't you heard?

You fought for peace

Laughed till you cried

You forgive and forget

You take it all in stride

You know what you want your deepest desire

It never felt better walking through the fire

Haven't you heard?

The world could use you now

Haven't you heard

The World could use you now

                    ..........


OH Sweet Fire


No need to hurry what's the rush?

You'll get there just the same

No need to kill yourself trying to be enough, the struggle still remains

Dreams fly by like loaded box cars

Hooked to a fleeting train

Now you wanna run it, hop on board

Ride, ride, ride

Oh sweet fire

Oh pretty girl

Oh sweet fire

Oh pretty girl

You try to settle in

Take on too much fold into how it feels

It' the perfect condition to rumble and roll into a distant field 

You always notice every little thing

Nothing goes untouched

Sometimes it burns a hole right through me sometimes not so much

Oh sweet fire

Oh pretty girl

Oh sweet fire

Oh pretty girl


Passion once moved you

Now it wounds you

Walking like you don't care into the deep

Hands up, up in the air

Falling on your knees

Oh sweet fire

Oh pretty girl

Oh sweet fire

Oh pretty girl

Kitchen Table


This kitchen table heard just about everything

Secrets, lies and wisdom passed down through the ages

This kitchen table fed my mothers children

Breakfast, lunch and dinner for over fifty years

This kitchen table sittin' in the window

Poured a million cups of coffee and alcohol delights

And it tells me her story

Shows me her memories

She set it up so well I hear her pride and glory

It's the perfect setting

Tales of days gone by

Blowin' in the wind a tear rolls from her eye

This kitchen table as old as it is

Withstood the test of time in and out of style

This kitchen table with all her celebrations

Cheers of joy and laughter, bowed our heads in prayer

This kitchen table knows way more than I do

History and knowledge through the generations

And it tells me her story

Shows me her memories

She set it up so well I hear her pride and glory

It's the perfect setting

Tales of days gone by

Blowin' in the wind a tear rolls from her eye

To this kitchen table one could always come

Just to sit and stare or wonder and even talk with someone

At this kitchen table we shared our hopes and dreams

We learned all about Jesus the angels and the saints

This kitchen table absorbed our conversation

Never cared or judged us never fell apart

And it tells me her story

Shows me her memories

She set it up so well I hear her pride and glory

It's the perfect setting

Tales of days gone by

Blowin' in the wind a tear rolls from her eye

But I'd never guessed it not in my wildest dreams

One day I'd be sitting here remembering all these things

Now it's come full circle all of this is mine

The table in the window knows the story of my life

Oh this kitchen table

Oh this kitchen table

Oh this kitchen table

Knows the story of my life

Made Her Cry


Close your eyes try to sleep

Silence falls but you can't lie still

Them midnight turns to morning and you've heard it all

Made her cry

And you didn't even move

Made her cry

All she did was love you

Made her cry

You broke the golden rule

Made her cry

Made her cry

Made her cry

You walk around not saying a word

You dragged your feet and you still got hurt

Like a slow and painful death that folds you into little pieces

Made her cry

And you didn't even move

Made her cry

All she did was love you

You made her cry

You broke the golden rule

Made her cry

Made her cry

Made her cry

You leave a note 

C'mon tell the truth

Cause baby what you're saying

Oh no it's no good

Then you bow out by the same door that you put her through

Made her cry

And you didn't even move

Made her cry

All she did was love you

You made her cry

You broke the golden rule

Made her cry

Made her cry

Made her cry

Shame on you

You didn't even move

Made her cry

All she did was love you

Made her cry ooh cry

Circling The Edges


Moving through this jungle like a monkey vine to vine

Holding on and letting go another trick of mine

I've been feeling weary splashin' water on my face

Shuffling my footsteps like the cards a gambler plays

I've been diving deeper searching for the pearl

I am a weeping dreamer trying to save the world

Pacing back and forth on eggshells trying not to break

Another heart, another wound, another leap of faith

Circling the edges

Round and round I go

Circling the edges

Slowly spilling over

Looking through the wire mesh oh my gilded cage

Peeling back the onion skin till tears get the way

The thickness of this silence could unnerve a predator

Wishful thinking good intentions feathers get unfurled

Dangerously close so far nothing I can do

Distancing myself no comfort coming through

As tangible the obstacle I thought that I could handle

When the stars align the universe unfolds to you

Circling the edges

Round and round I go

Circling the edges

Slowly spilling over

As tangible the obstacle I thought that I could handle

When the stars align the universe unfolds to you

 Circling the edges

Round and round I go

Circling the edges

Slowly spilling over

Circling round and round

Circling spilling over

Circling round and round

Circling spilling over


                    ..........


Curtain Call


Mmmm 

Well I slept against the wall

Head back on my chair

Oh I left my jacket on

I didn't even care

Well I've been here before

Visit wasn't  very nice

And before I hit the floor

It was just about daylight     

But I've been picking myself up

Brushing my boots off

I'm kickin' back shadows that hide in the dark

I've been finding little pieces

All scattered and broken

I'm taking my final curtain call

Oh the echo in your head

From a little too too much drink

But damn I made it home

Must have an angel to thank

Oh I woke up in my clothes

And a little sweet summer sweat

Took a good look in the mirror

Then I put myself back to bed 

But I've been picking myself up

Brushing my boots off

I'm kickin' back shadows that hide in the dark

I've been finding little pieces

All scattered and broken

I'm taking my final curtain call


                    ..........


The Key


Fading in. fading out

Standing up, then sitting down

Trying to remember to try to forget

But my head keeps reminding me everything said

Comes and goes

Lingers some

Hard to tell what's real and what's not

Like walking through a chamber

Through fields of regret

And suddenly you remember everything said

It was the key that hit the hardest

It was the key that said goodbye

It was the key that hurt the most

It was the key that stole the show

It was the key

Jump the gun

Bullets fly

You played right into the hands of the devil without a fight

Suddenly you're rolling

Heads are spinning

There ain't no returning

Nobody's winning 

It was the key that hit the hardest

It was the key that said goodbye

It was the key that hurt the most

It was the key that stole the show

It was the key

It was the key that hit the hardest

It was the key that said goodbye

It was the key that hurt the most

It was the key that stole the show

It was the key

It was the key

It was the key

The End Of The Drive


Still wear the neckless she gave me

My favorite blue shirt was his

Still can remember the day that it hit

When I felt my whole life come unhitched

Sat by the fire all that winter

Drank the cheapest wine we could stand

And the runes that we pulled made 

 us open our eyes

It was funny how they always applied

Baby you took my hand

And you listened to me

Oh you sat by my side helped me survive

To the end

To the end of the drive and back again

The place I was in drove us crazy

Time seemed to only us drag

And the dreams that we had started fading away

And we knew we could never turn back

I ended up in L.A

You guys gave up your drinking

Well the road wasn't easy and it's not always clear

But we always kept ahold of our spirit

Brother you took my hand

And you listened to me

Oh you sat by my side helped me survive

To the end

To the end of the drive and back again

Cruising through hot ghostly deserts

Over mountains and valleys

I was stopping for nothing till I ran out gas

Sister you took my hand

And you listened to me

Oh you sat by my side helped me survive

To the end

To the end of the drive and back again

Sister you took my hand

And you listened to me

Oh you sat by my side helped me survive

To the end

To the end of the drive and back again

To the end of the drive

To the end of the drive

To the end of the drive and back again

Maps


All over the map

You're all over the map

North, south, east and west

Never know where you'll land next

No borders

Now you're off the map

You've gone off the map

Highs you'll go, low's you'll get

Rivers you'll cross and deserts you'll hit

Soft shoulders

Chasing your dreams that's what you do

Following scenes on a pretty tattoo

Blazing through streams, stepping on stones

Looking back for you

So take a look your map

You gotta look at the map

Red lines take far too much time

Blue streak's running out this heart of mine

Skies fallin'

Chasing your dreams that's what you do

Following scenes on a pretty tatoo

Blazing through streams, stepping on stones

Looking back for you

Chasing your dreams that's what we do

Following scenes on a pretty tatoo

Blazing through streams, stepping on stones

Looking back for you

All over the map

You're all over the map

All over the map

You're all over the map

The Movie


 Still have my sense of humor

I'm still using good common sense

I can still remember where things are

They're either in the house or in the car

Most things don't get too far past me

And I'm the queen  of taking mental notes

There's a place for everything

The shoes, the keys, the memories

I saw the play

It was better than the movie

And I read the book

Before they made the movie

And I fell in love

Just like in the movie

I'm staying on top my minds made up

It's not my first time around this corner

I can still navigate and I believe

There's an art in getting older

I'm still rockin' blue jeans yeah I'm still pretty cool

I believe in Jesus and miracles

All I have I give wholeheartedly 

When I look back on you I'll smile

Just like Jesus smiled

I heard the song

I loved it in the movie

And I danced along

Like I was in the movie

And I fell in love

Just like in the movie

We heard the song

We loved it in the movie

We danced along

Like we were in the movie

And we fell in love

Just like in the movie

And we fell in love

Just like in the movie

Rattle Some Bone


There's a tilting in the balance

Throwing us off guard

Shadows moving in casting sadows on our hearts

We're leaning out our windows

Shouting out our doors

Turning up the volume

Shoring up the shores

We're spilling over threshold

Fighting fire with fire

We're pushing back and leaning in

Rockin' on the water

You can hear it in the silence

We're riding out this wave

Circling the wagons

Opening the cage

We're gonna shake it

We're gonna rattle some bone

We're gonna shake it up

We're gonna rattle

Rattle, rattle some bone

The promise has been broken

The kiss of good intention

Crumbled under all the weight it never could survive

Now we're begging for a reprise

We're walking up and down the floors

Cause the world is surely crackin' up

Everybody's settling some score

We're gonna shake it

We're gonna rattle some bone

We're gonna shake it up

We're gonna rattle

Rattle, rattle some bone

Gonna shake it up, shake it up

We're gonna rattle some bone, shake it up

We're gonna shake it up, shake it up

We're gonna rattle

Rattle, rattle some bone

Shake it up

We're gonna rattle some bone

Shake it up

We're gonna shake it up

Shake it up

We're gonna rattle

Rattle, rattle some bone

Shake it up, Shake it up, Shake it up

Bridge Of Love


There's a break in the desert where the water babbles through

Not more than a whisper but it's singing there for you

And it's tugging at your heart

Nipping at your heels

So you dip yourself down in into to it

To feel how a whisper feels

Feels like love

Feels like love

There's a crack in the mortar where the light is coming in

And it draws you from the darkness from the prisoner you've been

There's so much love going on

So many dreams to dare

And there's a ticket with your name on it

And a path to take you there

The path of love

The path of love

There's a line you draw

Boundaries you say

There's a bridge in the distance someday you said you'd cross

There's a road of least resistance

You have said another day

But here and now are at your door

Do you cross or walk away

The bridge of love

The bridge of love

The bridge of love

The bridge of love

The bridge of love

The bridge of love
