I Will Go

I am trying too hard to impress you.
It’s becoming clear
and way too stressful for me.
And I am looking for a reason.
I’m looking for a starting place,
and a little grace.

So I will go.
I will go.

I am running around in circles
trying to find an end
to exit in.
I am wearing out a welcome
I’m not sure I ever had.
Isn’t it sad?

So I will go.
I will go.
I will go.
I will go.

Far away from here
And far away from you
Far away from here
And far away from you.

I will find a destination
A better place to be
Someone who’s into me.

So I will go.
I will go.
I will go.
I will go.

Far away from here.
Far away from you.
Far away from here.
And far away away from you.

I Think It's Love

What is this tingly feelin’
Falling over me?
It makes me want to be the
Best that I can be.

I think its love. Love.
Love. Love.

I thought I would get greedy.
Hasn’t happened yet.
In fact, I want to give
Without hoping what I get.

I think its love. Love.
Love. Love.

It doesn’t matter if you’re
Running to or from your troubles.
I will be with you.
I’ll be with you.

And I think its love. Love.
Love. Love.

Some may say I’m crazy,
But I don’t care.
I’m gonna take this feelin’
Everywhere.

And I think its love. Love.
Love. Love.
I think its love. Love.
Love. Love.

What is this tingly feelin’
Falling over me?

Nothin' but Time

She tends to bring others down when she’s down.
So the pain that she feels, she holds.
Serving the others who don’t give a damn.
Doesn’t ask what the effort is for.

But, oh, in her soul.
There’s a song that won’t let go.

You’ve got wings,
why don’t you fly
into the heavens
You’ve got nothing but time.
You’ve got dreams
why don’t you try
to make them happen.
You’ve got nothing but time.
Nothing but time.

Someday soon she will find her breaking point.
She’ll run to her future, her hope.
‘til then, the ground’s steady beneath her shoes,
and her voice is subdued and controlled.

But, oh, in her soul
There’s a song that won’t let go.

You’ve got wings,
why don’t you fly
into the heavens
You’ve got nothing but time.
You’ve got dreams
why don’t you try
to make them happen?
You’ve got nothing but time.
Nothing but time.

Time, oh.

She is hiding
behind another’s word.
She is dying inside
a little more.

But you’ve got wings

Sins of the Fathers
 
The sins of the fathers
Don’t hurt the fathers
The way that they fall down
On the sons and the daughters.

They will carry that load
Long down the road
‘til they don’t know
How it all started.

May the circle be broken
By and by, by and by.
Oh, may the circle be broken
By and by, by and by.

She needs Jesus.
She needs her momma.
She needs a strong hand to hold
That won’t take nothing from her.

He’s empty inside.
Been all his life.
And money can’t buy
Him what he has wanted.

May the circle be broken
By and by, by and by
May the circle be broken
By and by, by and by.

They never knew what the cost would be.
No, we never know what the cost will be
And be, and be.

May the circle be broken
By and by, by and by
May the circle be broken
By and by, by and by.

Suicidal Butterflies

Why didn’t anybody tell them
“Stay away from the big machines?”
Didn’t anybody show them
What exactly that it means

When they go
When they go

Suicidal butterflies
Won’t you get up in the sky?
Suicidal butterflies
Can’t you soar just ten feet higher?

Before I stopped myself I cursed when
I saw a splat on my winshield.
You were beautiful and yello.
Don’t you know how it makes me feel?

When you go
When you go

Suicidal butterflies
Won’t you get up in the sky?
Suicidal butterflies
Can’t you soar just ten feet higher?


Suicidal butterflies
Won’t you get up in the sky?
Suicidal butterflies
Can’t you soar just ten feet higher?

Cain't Git the Kids to Come Around

I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I can’t git the kids to come around.
I said I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I cain’t git the kids to come around.

Well Jesse was trouble from time he was little
Had to beat him everyday.
When his head got sick he checked himself in to the clinic
Sayin’, “Momma, you should pay.”

Well, I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I can’t git the kids to come around.
I said I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I cain’t git the kids to come around.

Well, Katie was a looker, didn’t want her to be a hooker,
So I locked her room up tight.
She’d cry and she’d shout ‘til she finally broke out,
Sayin’, “Momma, this ain’t right!”

Well, I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I can’t git the kids to come around.
I said I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I cain’t git the kids to come around.

No, I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I can’t git the kids to come around.
I said I cain’t git the kids to come around no more no
I cain’t git the kids to come around.
I said I cain’t git the kids to come around.

Easy to Love

Tell me what I want to hear now.
Tell me what I need to say to you.
Tell me what I want.

Not so hard to disappear now.
Everything is fading to gray.
Everything I want.

Inside

I won’t be easy to love
and I will ask for way too much.
I won’t be easy to love.
But I will stand when the sky falls down on us.

What you get is what you see now.
I won’t pretend that I won’t fight.
When I’m right, and I’m right.

You can have all I am.
If you can have all I am not.
Without taking my heart and pulling it apart.

I won’t be easy to love
and I will ask for way too much.
I won’t be easy to love.
But I will stand when the sky falls down on us.

Breathe in me a reason to believe.
Be for me a (season) of release/relief.

I won’t be easy to love
and I will ask for way too much.
No, I won’t be easy to love,
but I will stand when the sky falls down on us
