New Day
03:35
|
|||
|
Letting go of a friend not knowing if I'll find one again
Took a well-thought chance and cut her loose
Hoping that my old ways and that which brings me down
Will stay behind with the love I didn't choose
From the storm clouds come the rain
From the rain a blank slate
Here's to silver linin' them clouds
From the hardship comes the pain
Through the fire the gain
Here's to a second chance called a new day
Maybe I'll find a new breeze lifting up my wings
As I take to the road with a song
Maybe I'll make my way somewhere like Raleigh or San Antone
Finally put roots down and let love grow
From the storm clouds come the rain
From the rain a blank slate
Here's to silver linin' them clouds
From the hardship comes the pain
Through the fire the gain
Here's to a second chance called a new day
Funny how a man can be so serious and stern
Drawing up his lines in the sand
All the while like a child who wants the crust cut off
Fickle and unfounded is this heart
From the storm clouds come the rain
From the rain a blank slate
Here's to silver linin' them clouds
From the hardship comes the pain
Through the fire the gain
Here's to a second chance called a new day
From the storm clouds come the rain
From the rain a blank slate
Here's to silver linin' them clouds
From the hardship comes the pain
Through the fire the gain
Here's to a second chance called a new...
One, two, a one two three four!
Here's to a second chance called a new day!

Mountain Calling
04:16
|

|
The mountains are calling and I must go
Under the moonlight I see the foxfire glow
Leave behind all your worries and cares
They're disappearing in the mountain air
Climbing up to the edge of the sky
Now we're dancing with those brilliant northern lights
My soul needs space to breathe
I've been running like a mountain stream
Nothing can stop this river flow
The mountains are calling and I must go
Come on sister why you looking down
Grab your fiddle let's get out of town
Come on brother why the heavy load
Let's blaze a trail we don't need no road
From Springer to Katahdin where the black bears roam
Those Blue Ridge Mountains are where I call home
I'm suffocating from these busy city streets
Let's go out somewhere we can be wild and free
My soul needs space to breathe
I've been running like a mountain stream
Nothing can stop this river in my soul
The mountains are calling and I must go
I must go (I must go)

Never Easy
04:12

He said I'm leaving a whole lot lighter than I came
She said I know now go don't you miss this plane
She looked intently into his distant eyes
For any hint that she might not be right
And she said
You leaving this way
Is never easy
When tomorrow becomes today
Will you miss me?
No you won't miss me
A dozen cities later endlessly entertained
Her words reoccur to him while he's up on stage
He doesn't bat an eye assumes she has moved on
But it begs the question and that question is a start
He heard
You leaving this way
Is never easy
When tomorrow becomes today
Will you miss me?
No you won't miss me
A thousand miles later midnight on the interstate
He pulls into a truck stop to fill an empty tank
And it got him thinking
Thinking about life and for a man who's always going
That was a surprise
And as he put the miles between her heart and his
Something stirred his soul something deep within
And in that holy moment the scales fell from his heart
He cried out to the stars and turned around the car
And he said
Leaving you this way
Was never easy
When tomorrow becomes today
No you won't miss me
Baby I'm right here you won't ever have to miss me

Need
04:09

Lord I need direction from you
I went and got lost in my head, tangled up truth
What is good, what is noble, what is secure
My compass ain't true north anymore
Brother I need a helping hand
A shoulder to lean on, a friend who'll take a stand on
What is good, what is noble, what is pure
I can use a brother for sure
When it's dark and gray, the storms of life surround me
I need Your "peace be still" spoken over me
The clouds will part in time, we'll see on the other side
You were always right there for me
Mother how I wished it were true
That I'd lived up to what you taught me ten years in the living room
To be good, to be noble, who to live my life for
Remind me like you do once more
When it's dark and gray, the storms of life surround me
I need Your "peace be still" spoken over me
The clouds will part in time, we'll see on the other side
You were always right there for me
I'm my father's son it's true
I can't walk through this town without being recognized for you
You were good, you were noble, what more could I ask for
Than to raise my own son like yours
When it's dark and gray, the storms of life surround me
I need Your "peace be still" spoken over me
The clouds will part in time, we'll see on the other side
You were always watching over me
Walking beside me
Praying hard for me
You were always right there for me

Love
03:39
|

|
It's better to change with love than with hate
I heard love is patient so sometimes you wait
A wise man once wrote that love's also kind
She never backs down never changes her mind
Love believes all things and love's always true
Love will faithfully hold on to you
Well I could know all there is to be learned
I can give up my body to be burned
And I could write a most melodious song
But without love I'd be doing it wrong
Love doesn't envy and love doesn't boast
Love isn't arrogant or rude
Love's not demanding and never hateful
Love will not rejoice at evil but rejoices in truth
Love never ends
Love will remain
Love never fails
Love is always
Bears and believes all, oh love always hopes
Love will endure all things too
At the end of the age it is love that remains
And love makes all new
Love never ends
Love will remain
Love never fails
Love is always
And Love is your name
Now three things remain
Yeah three things remain
But the greatest of these is love
Oh the greatest of these is love

Stumphouse Crew
03:05
|
|||
|
The mountain mine was deep and dark
The cavern long and cold
We swung the axe and dug the shafts
For the old railroad
The mountain was quite treacherous
We never worked alone
Because the shafts were known to shake
And make the mountain moan
Swing the pickaxe high, my boys
Swing the pickaxe high
We won't let the mountain rest
'Til we reach the other side
The lanterns lit the cavern walls
And drove the dark away
Until the kerosene ran out
And we were done that day
Swing the pickaxe high, my boys
Swing the pickaxe high
We won't let the mountain rest
'Til we reach the other side
The captain of the Stumphouse crew
Was known as Harvey Jack
They say the mountain swallowed him
'Cause he never made it back
Swing the pickaxe high, my boys
Swing the pickaxe high
We won't let the mountain rest
'Til we reach the other side
Swing the pickaxe high, my boys
Swing the pickaxe high
We won't let the mountain rest
'Til we reach the other side
Swing the pickaxe high, my boys
Swing the pickaxe high
We won't let the mountain rest
'Til we reach the other side

The Skipper
02:09
|

|
I got a little darling down by the river bend
We go skipping stones every now and then
Wade out in the water right up to our knees
That's where she first held hands with me
They call me the skipper keen eye for a smooth stone
When it hits the water count how far it goes
If you can beat me I'll lay my title down
But I have my doubts so get along now
I got a little hottie down where the river grows
When I get to see her Lord how heaven knows
I get that feeling I wanna hold her tight
She tells me "Handsome you can't sleep here tonight"
I got a little sweetheart down by the river bend
We go skipping stones every now and then
When I get that paycheck I know what I'll buy
A stone to skip her heart right into mine

Running
03:30
|

|
Your eyes tagged me then you took off with exhilarating speed
You ran so fast over open fields barefoot on the grass
This constant chase was so fun but I couldn't keep your pace
The distance grew all I wanted was to just keep up with you
I keep running, I keep running
I keep trying to match your stride
Over every hill and stream I cross
I still hope to see you on the other side
I still hope to see you on the other side
On the other side
We used to run side by side together in the sun
Into the night I kept running just to keep you in sight
I keep running, I keep running
I keep trying to match your stride
Over every hill and stream I cross
I still hope to see you on the other side
I still hope to see you on the other side
On the other side
I hope you find, someone else who can better match your stride
I was too slow I couldn't keep up so I had to let you go

Still
03:20

I built a still
Up in them woods
Over the hill
I built a still
I drained off that pot liquor
Imagining a life much richer
Than anywhere near here
I built a still
What I didn't drink down
I sold around town
Made many a new friend
I was happy then
Made my Julianne mine
Bought her dresses mighty fine
For that moment I was richer
For that moment
Then the woods grew all smoky
Blue fires were approaching
I gathered up my things
And I got gone
But every time I rambled on
The forest fires grew more strong
I couldn't keep ahead
Couldn't keep ahead
After two years on the run
My Julianne was done
The life I had built her
Was one she wasn't meant for
But I was hard-headed
Kept up my wayward way of living
I prayed the Lord my soul to keep
As my copper pots sang me to sleep
The change once jingling in my pocket
Bought me a chain now I'm locked up
And time grew still
I grew still
Still
Still
I built a still

The Line Between
04:58
|
|||
|
The uncharted waters pull at me like the tide
I want to go where no one else has tried
So I hoist the anchor and cut the ties
I want to know what's on the other side
And I set my course with the stars as my guide
The cold wind in my face reminds me I'm alive
So I raise the sail and fix my eyes
On the line between the earth and sky
The earth and sky
