Blue Impala

Turn it up
The radio this is one of my favorite songs
I am gonna sing the words out loud and the road is gonna hum along
I’m feeling lucky got some money in my pocket
This night is mine
A sweet looking girl sitting by my side
Hey Baby
Roll down the window let the summer wind in your hair
All the kids are talking about us
But we don’t even care
I’ve got this blue impala and the motor is running just right
So let’s keep on going baby
You and me into the night
Full moon
The stars are bright
The lights of my machine
I feel magic in the air tonight
Honey can you feel it?
Tell me your story
I will tell you mine
Any time with you is not a waste of time
Chorus
I don’t ever wanna see this night come to an end
Rusted dreams…love letters never sent…What could have been
The glow of the dashboard light betrays desire in your eyes
Not a soul would blame us if we kept driving
Roll down the window let the summer wind in your hair
All the kids are talking about us
But we don’t even care
I’ve got this blue impala and the motor is running just right
So, let’s keep on going baby
Let’s keep on going baby
You and me into the night

The Strongest Oak
04:07
|
|||
When I was a boy
With a mind for moving on
I thought I was wise
To the ways of the world
I had a young voice
Both naive and strong
And it would take years
To realize I was wrong
What you want
Might not be
What you need
The strongest oak
Once was a seed
Some boys become men
Some men become gods
Some lessons are learned
And some are forgot
My hope for you
As you go your own way
You’re troubles are few
Lady luck knows your name
What you want…might not be…what you need
The tallest oak was once a seed
And what you see…might not be…what you believe
The smallest hope can get a man free
Oh I have to admit
Some things can’t be controlled
The ocean, the wind and the rain
The rambling soul
So… on your journey to find
Love…peace of mind
My wish for you is a safe place to call home

Soft Place to Land
04:10
|
|||
Hey honey just know… I see you
I get the reasons for the things you do
Like a levee in a hurricane flood about to break
Like a worry always on your mind or an old-fashioned heartache
They will take your sacrifice
No regard given
To the toll it takes on you
I will be a soft place to land
Shelter from your fears
A light in the night
You can count on me to be the one
The one to help you through these troubled times
When your day is feeling like it’s been a week
When your faith has left you standing there in disbelief
If your ears cannot hear another lie
When you’re holding on you don’t know how…don’t know why

Lottery Tickets
03:51
|
|||
The sidewalk on the poor part of town is all littered with
Torn lottery tickets
There’s a darkness that descends on the mind of a man
When he realizes his limits
This great big world will make you feel so damn small
And insignificant
Take a deep breath
Look to the sky
Why are you here?
There’s got to be a good reason why
Except for a moment…this life
Is a dream
Of minutes, miles and memories
Hold on…say you will
I have a feeling someday we’ll find
Happiness…more or less
I am worried I confess
Most of the time
Some days it feels like I am holding
Back the sea
Waves crashing inside of me
Take a deep breath
Look to the sky
Why am I here?
There’s got to be a good reason why
Except for a moment…this life
Is a dream
Of minutes, miles and memories
Take a deep breath
Look to the sky
Have patience in yourself
When you are learning to fly
Except for a moment…this life
Is a dream
Of minutes, miles and memories

Lucky 44
03:38
|

Drink up
Shoot up
Do what you got to do
We ain’t so different I’ve got
My demons too
You didn’t ask
To wear that mask
Still, you do
Fire, desire, pain, pain, pain
I need you woman like a bullet in my brain
Scorpio, firefly, hurricane
Can you love me just a little more?
You’re my Lucky 44
Oh my God
It’s like a dream
Tastes so good
Even Sunbeams
I am in love baby
Can’t you see?
Last time I saw you
You were freaking out
If you can’t respect me at least respect yourself
Hollywood
It isn’t good
And it smells like bloody hell

Lost My Shadow
05:58
|
|||
I am out
Chasing sunsets
I’ve got a feeling
That I cannot
Embrace…or defend
Pink and blue horizon
Reminds me
I should feel grateful
But for now, I just pretend
No I won’t stop
I can’t stop
I will not
Give up on
I want to
Believe in
Everything you said
But somehow
Oh I have
I have lost my shadow
And I would do anything
To get it back again
Suddenly
Out of nowhere
Hope is revealed
Reckless like a child’s whisper
Brave and true
Oh how I love you
But sometimes you make me crazy
Oh I am sure
I make you crazy too

Home of the Brave
03:40
|
|||
I have not fortune
I have not fame
I do my best
To credit my name
Some days move easy
Most are hard to get through
Testing my courage
To hang on
Do what I have to do
Home of the brave
Can be any place
Hidden in your heart
Written on your face
Concealed in dark shadows
In the midst of the absurd
Revealed in your actions
Lessons you learn
I am for love
A welcome embrace
I am for justice
Truth
Kindness and grace
I am for freedom
Try to fix what is broke
So children can laugh
Feel safe and have hope
Chorus
We all have fear
Challenges and pain
We all can be hero's
In the home of the brave
