Where have you been
Ms. Loretta Lynn
Did I catch you thinking
About something that you did?
On a gravel road
Where our story goes
After the memories are gone
And the lies unfold
It should be no surprise
When the lights burn bright
I could see the color of your eyes
It should be no surprise
When the lights burn bright
I could see the color of your eyes
Somewhere down the road
Sits a row of crows
Watching us from the wire
Looking down their nose
But you and I, we know
How that story goes
Crows feet in our eyes
Standing in the cold
It should be no surprise
When the lights burn bright
I could see the color of your eyes
It should be no surprise
When the lights burn bright
I could see the color of your eyes
And the time has come to say goodnight
The time has come to say goodnight
The time has come to say goodnight
The time has come to say goodnight

Spinning Wheels
03:02

Looking through a summer screen door
Kitchen table and linoleum floor
While my pen walks across the page
Writing down thoughts from another age
The smell of beer and formaldehyde
Come on over let’s take a ride
If these spinning wheels could talk
They’d sing a song
Of ice and red wine
And we would sing along
Remember that night I drove your car
Through the sky out into the stars
We saw the ruins of the places we’d lived
The stained grass from the things we did
The smell of beer and formaldehyde
Come on over let’s take a ride
If these spinning wheels could talk
They’d sing a song
Of ice and red wine
And we would sing along
Long shadows in the headlights
Talking on the phone all night
So come on, Mary let’s get you home
Before you wander out into the cold
If these spinning wheels could talk
They’d sing a song
Of ice and red wine
And we would sing along
If these spinning wheels could talk
They’d sing a song
Of ice and red wine
And we would sing along

Reluctant Fools
02:44
|
|||
|
I could hear your music through the closed door
Like a sound I had never heard before
You didn't get what you wanted
We got a different you
Now we're all reluctant fools
There's an ambiguity when you see me
I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to be
You didn't know what you wanted
I didn't know what to do
There we were two reluctant fools
Let the gods of the dead bicker over me
They haven't seen half of what I've seen
They won't get what they want
We'll let them talk
But honey, I am over and gone
I guess the abyss can dance now, we're off for the night
I still have one last dream so hold on tight
We'll still get what we want
Just enough is true
Here we are two reluctant fools
We'll still get what we want
Just enough is true
Here we are two reluctant fools

Big Bang
02:34
|
|||
|
Your random energy
Has hit my heart
It collapses all around me
We could make a new start
We'll make a big bang
We'll make a big bang
We'll make a big bang
We'll make a big bang
You are brighter than
The next brightest star
After the sun goes down
Remember who you are
We'll make a big bang
We'll make a big bang
We'll make a big bang
We'll make a big bang
I had run out of fuel
When you pulled me in
The center of my galaxy
A universe begins
We made a big bang
We made a big bang
A big bang
A big bang
A big bang
A big bang
A big bang
A big bang

You didn't lie
But there was something behind your eyes
You couldn't tell me
But you were saying goodbye
Those keys never get played
That's how broken hearts are made
That grove is a graveyard
For every breeze that comes its way
Wasn't your choice to make
But you made all the same, with that
Blank look on your face
That's how broken hearts are made
This is my love letter
All the things I remember
Driving cars, playing hearts
Singing songs on your guitar
That halting way you showed me
All the love you could see
Bottle caps and tire swings
And the only song I could sing
Could never take your place
That's how broken hearts are made
This is my love letter
All the things I remember
Driving cars, playing hearts
Singing songs on your guitar
It’s a message lost in
time and space
And it’s written for you
It was written so long ago
I might never find you
This is my love letter
All the things I remember
Driving cars, playing hearts
Singing songs on your guitar
This is my love letter
All the things I remember
Driving cars, playing hearts
Singing songs on your guitar

Katydid
05:20
|
|||
|
The katydid makes a beautiful sound
It reminds me of when I'd see you around town
In the summertime
When the katydids whine
In the summertime
The harvest flies start to cry
Around the time the crops dry
And we spend all night
In the combine
We spend all night in the combine
In the summertime
When the harvest flies cry
In the summertime
And the crickets
Would chirp all night
Where you and I lie
And we'd spend all night
Staring at the sky
In the summertime
When the crickets chime
In the summertime
When the crickets chime
In the summertime
When the crickets chime
In the summertime

These old boots used to dance
Every time they got the chance
And we’d turn up the radio
To dance on the side of the road
The lights shined like poetry
And sang in sibling harmony
Now the sidewalk diamonds shine
Through the window of my mind
But now I’m
Just hanging
Around the lost and found
I am
Just waiting
For something good to come around
It’s the simple ache of loss
Knowing where that time has gone
Memories melt into my mind
Like ice in red wine
And I am
Just waiting
For something good to come around
I am
Just hanging
Around the lost and found
Now I am
Just waiting
For something good to come around
I am
Just hanging
Around the lost and found
Now I am
Just waiting
For something good to come around
I am
Just hanging
Around the lost and found

Everybody Has A Song
03:14
|
|||
|
We will murmur our inside jokes
To the docents in the hall
Where the poetry that I wrote
Is painted on the wall
But this is not a secret
We won't keep it to ourselves
It only grows when you reveal it
It's a story we have to tell
It's as simple as
Water that fills a well
And somehow it means something
To somebody else
Once they can hear it
All your friends will sing along
There's no need to fear it
Everybody has a song
It's as simple as
Water that fills a well
And somehow it means something
To somebody else
Once they can hear it
All your friends will sing along
There's no need to fear it
Everybody has a song
It's as simple as
Water that fills a well
And somehow it means something
To somebody else
Once they can hear it
All your friends will sing along
There's no need to fear it
Everybody has a song
There's no need to fear it
Everybody has a song
There's no need to fear it
Everybody has a song

Sun And Moon
03:13
|

Rise up in the night
The tide will come after
I'll share my light
For the bats in the rafters
As you move through the sky
Water will follow you wherever you go
You're the life of the night
We can talk to each other
When I'm beyond the horizon
Just shine your light farther
They'll keep their eyes on you
And watch you wherever you go
And then day comes
To light up the sky
Don't let it overshadow your moonrise
Even I will say goodbye
To leave some space for the night
And now, my wind blows
It still makes you shudder
We're siblings, my friend
Two sides of each other
You can find me each time
You need somewhere to go
When day comes
To light up the sky
Don't let it overshadow your moonrise
Even I will say goodbye
To leave some space for the night
Even I will say goodbye
To leave some space for the night
