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
