1.Where You Are
There you are standing strong, I'm a leaf holding on
You believe like a child, in this fire, runnin' wild
Oh, I love how you see right to the heart of me
You're a waterfall, washing over me
I'm a thirsty man, let me drink you in
Well, I am on my way, you're a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want is to be where you are
I'm the frozen ground, you're the warm sunlight
Shining down on me, baby, just in time
I have never been, been in love like this
Oh, you move my soul, every time we kiss
And I love how you heal, I can't believe how alive I feel
You're a waterfall, washing over me
I'm a thirsty man, let me drink you in
I am on my way, you're a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want to be is where you are
You're a waterfall, washing over me
I'm a thirsty man, let me drink you in
I am on my way, you're a mountain top
When I reach for you, your love lifts me up
All that I want to be is where you are
2.Bless The Broken Road
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I'm just rollin' home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you
3.Then I Did
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Everytime I see this city through the clouds, I get that way
Call me crazy for missing you like this, but I do
By now, I figured you had all your numbers changed
It's been at least a year, since I called you up to say
We need to talk, I got this job and I think I'm going to take it
'Cause I been waiting all my life
For a break like this
It's my chance of a lifetime, I just know it is
I gotta go find these dreams'
Was the last thing that I said
And then I did
I can see clear to the mountains, as I head up our old street
I remember how we'd call in sick on days like these
And turn the music up and roll the windows down and just drive
You talked me outta givin' up on myself, so many times
Convinced me to get in while I could, regrets hang heavy on my
mind
But you never doubted me, you kept pushing me
Saying, 'You've been waiting all your life for a break like this
It's your chance of a lifetime, you just know it is, yeah
You gotta go and find those dreams'
Was the last thing that you said
And then I did
But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along
And now you're gone
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Everytime I see this city through the clouds, I get that way
But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along, yeah
But you were wrong
Yeah, love was what I wanted all along
Cause I've been waiting all my life
You gotta go and find those dreams
Cause you've been waiting all your life
4.Feels Like Today
I woke up this morning
With this feeling inside me, that I can't explain
Like a weight that I've carried, been carried away, away
But I know something is coming
I don't know what it is
But I know it's amazing, can save me my time is coming
I'll find my way out
Of this longest drought
And it feels like today, I know
It feels like today, I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing
The one thing you're wishing
The last sacred blessing
And hey, feels like today
Feels like today
You treat life like a picture
But it's not a moment that's frozen in time
It's not gonna wait till you make up your mind, at all
So while this storm is breaking
While there's light at the end of the tunnel
You keep running towards it
Releasing the pressure that's my heartache
Soon this dam will break
And it feels like today, I know
Feels like today, I'm sure
It's the one thing that's missing
The one thing you're wishing
The last sacred blessing and hey
Feels like today
Feels like today
5.Fast Cars And Freedom
Staring at you taking off your makeup
Wondering why you even put it on
I know you think you do, but baby, you don't need it
Wish that you could see what I see when it's gone
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes and your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
That river was cold but we gave love a chance
Yeah To me
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling
Yeah, smile and shake your head as if you don't believe me
I'll just sit right here and let you take me back
I'm on that gravel road, (look at me)
On my way to pick you up you're standing on the front porch
Looking just like that (remember that)
I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes and your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby don't move, right there it is
A T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch
That river was cold but we gave love a chance
Yeah To me
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset, riverbank, first time feeling
6.When The Sand Runs Out
I spent the morning at an old friend's grave
Flowers and 'Amazing Grace', he was a good man
He spent his whole life spinning his wheels
Never knowing how the real thing feels
He never took a chance or took the time to dance
And I stood there thinking, as I said goodbye
Today is the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out
Cause people do it everyday
Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there, but I'm changing from the inside out
That was then and this is now
I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man
And when they carve my stone, they'll write these words
'Here lies a man who lived life for all that it's worth'
I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out
And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard
I think I hear the voice of my old friend, whisper in my ear
I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart and make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running
When the sand runs out
I wanna be running
When the sand runs out
Yes I do, mmm
7.Here's To You
They got three in the front and four in the back of a Civic
Camped out all night on the sidewalk, just to get tickets
With their hands on the fence in the back, by the buses and the
limousines
Just to get a glance at the drummer or a singer, yeah anything
And they come from miles around
For that moment when the lights go out
And they scream
It's the girls in the front row singin'
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air, and you guys up there
You're the heart and soul, and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you
There's a silver-tongued blonde trying to sweet talk her way
backstage
There's a mom and dad in the aisle, not acting their age
There's a wet Corvette, red lipstick print on a Coors Light cup
And judging by the way she's dancing, I'd say she's had enough
The guitars come alive
And you make us want to stay all night
And they scream
It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's the lighters in the air, and you guys up there
You're the heart and soul, and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you, here's to you
It's the girls in the front row singing
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them
It's lighters in the air, and you guys up there
You're the heart and soul, and the reason we do what we do
Here's to you, here's to you
The girls in the front row singing, here's to you
It's the boys with the wheels that bring them, here's to you
It's to a silver-tongued blonde trying to sweet talk her way
Here's to you, here's to you
8.The Day Before You
I had all but given up on
Finding the one that I could fall into
The day before you
I was ready to settle for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you
In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
But Heaven knows, those years without you
Were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
If you're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you
Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
Yeah, I would never have to go back to
The day before you
The day before you
9.Break Away
Opened my eyes this morning with a smile on my face
My arms wrapped around you, took me away
And it got me to thinkin', what we need to do
Is take a Sunday drive, and drive on through
Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday too
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
We'll hit Tulsa by Tuesday, follow the stars above
Spend the weekend in Vegas and gamble on sweet, sweet love
It don't matter what we do, as long as I'm with you
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
Yeah, yeah
Break away
Yeah, yeah
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away
Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day...
Girl, it's a perfect day to break away
10.Holes
There's three in the wall, from those pictures in the closet
Two in the bedroom, from that night I lost it
And one deep inside me, determined to stay
They don't get any bigger, but they don't go away
Holes in and around me, I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
I poured drink after drink, but nothing hit bottom
I've been on my knees, admitted my problems
The love that we made, still barely an echo
And I'll try anything in these vacant hollow
Holes in and around me, I keep falling back into
Holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
There's two through my hands, and one through my feet
From this cross that I'll bare till the day that I see
It's guilt and it's blame, it's shame and it's lame
Seeking the truth, I've dug them myself
All these holes dig in and surround me
God knows what I'm gonna do
To fill in these holes left by you
Left by you
Left by you
Left by you
11.Oklahoma-Texas Line
She got an old dog, it don't like me much
And that thing starts to bark his head off everytime we touch
Sittin' on the porch, listening to the radio
We sing every single song we know
Even the ones we don't
And she moves a little closer
And she puts her hand in mine
Oh, what I wouldn't give just to stop the hands of time
She's got long blonde hair and big blue eyes
I got all I ever need, when that girl is by my side
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas line
She's got a part-time job at the Tastee-Freeze
She took the weekend off to spend a little bit of time with me
I got an old car we drove to the edge of town
We stopped by Old Man Miller's farm
Just to watch the world spin around
And she moves a little closer
And she puts her lips to mine
Ain't it funny how the good Lord outdoes himself sometimes
She's got long blonde hair and big blue eyes
I got all I ever need, when that girl is by my side
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas line
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house with a blacktop drive
A big oak tree, names carved in the side
Long blonde hair and big blue eyes
I got all I ever need, when that girl is by my side
Everything I love is there inside
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas
A little brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas line
Oh, here they come, yeah
Long blonde hair and big blue eyes
Everything I love (big oak tree, names carved in the side)
Is there inside a little brick house
Long, blonde hair and deep, blue eyes
I got all I ever need
In a little, brick house on the Oklahoma-Texas line
