Lyrics
Edge of Blue
Dont Let Go
Shine a light in the dark
Work your way through your sorrow
You’ve got to find the joy in your heart
And don’t let go
Shine a light in the dark
See your way to tomorrow
You’ve got to find the joy in your heart
And don’t let go
When you’re drowning in falling rain
When your love is all in vain
When you’re dragging a ball and chain
Everything weighing you down
Shine a light in the dark
Work your way to tomorrow
You’ve got to find the joy in your heart
And don’t let go
You’ve got to find the joy in your heart
And don’t let go
Woh, don’t let go...
When you’re drowning in falling rain
When your love is all in vain
When you’re dragging a ball and chain
Everything weighing you down
Shine a light in the dark
Work your way to tomorrow
You’ve got to find the joy in your heart
And don’t let go
You’ve got to find the joy in your heart
And don’t let go
Woh, don’t let go...

Lover's Moon
Look up in the sky tonight
Big and round, giving off a mellow light
Moving in above the site
It’s a lover’s moon
Drummers’ circle playing loud
There’s a horn band whipping up a side stage crowd
You and me, we’re walking proud
‘Neath a lover’s moon
‘Neath a lover’s moon
And then I feel my arms
Around your waist
Nuzzle my face in your hair
Then the taste
Of your two lips
And then my heart does a flip
Look up in the sky tonight
Big and round, giving off a tender light
Passion burning ever bright
Like a lover’s moon
Like a lover’s moon
And then I feel my arms
Around your waist
Nuzzle my face in your hair
Then the taste
Of your two lips
And then my heart does a flip
Look up in the sky tonight
Big and round, giving off a tender light
Passion burning ever bright
Like a lover’s moon
Like a lover’s moon
Keeps on burning like a lover’s moon...

More Than a Little Bit Blue
I’m here
You’re gone
Coal black night crawls to the dawn
And I am more than a little
More than a little bit blue
They said it was bound to be
But that brings no comfort to me
And I am more than a little
More than a little bit blue
I wonder why, why, why
We had to say goodbye
Makes me so lonesome I
I could cry
Ooh, you flew away
You’re gone
Guess I’ll learn how to carry on
But right now, I’m more than a little
More than a little bit blue
I wonder why, why, why
We had to say goodbye
Makes me so lonesome I
I could cry
Ooh, you flew away
You’re gone
Guess I’ll learn how to carry on
But right now, I’m more than a little
More than a little bit blue
I just sit here, and I wonder why, why, why...

The Beating of Your Very Own Heart
When you’re fumbling in the dark
And you just can’t get a spark
Check out the beating of your very own heart
When you’re all up in a bind
And deep blue misery fills your mind
Check out the beating of your very own heart
Ooh, you might be lost on the river
Drifting from the shore
Thinking that you just can’t
Take it anymore
Try put one foot in front of the other
Keep walking and discovering
The beating of your very own heart
When your world is in a spin
Fate’s about to do you in
Check out the beating of your very own heart
When you’re feeling kicked around
And your life is sorrow bound
Check out the beating of your very own heart
Ooh, you might be lost on the river
Drifting from the shore
Thinking that you just can’t
Take it anymore
Try put one foot in front of the other
Keep walking and discovering
The beating of your very own heart
Ooh, you might be lost on the river
Drifting from the shore
Thinking that you just can’t
Take it anymore
Try put one foot in front of the other
Keep walking and discovering
The beating of your very own heart
Check out the beating of your very own heart
Listen to the music in the beating of your very own heart

Edge of Blue
On the edge of blue
Out there where the tears are falling
On the edge of blue
Out there where the fears are calling
Then I hear a voice
Coming from another room
Moving through descending gloom
Then I hear a voice
Changing wrong to right
Filling my heart with light
On the edge of blue
Out there where the banks are crumbling
On the edge of blue
Out there where my feet are stumbling
Then I hear a voice
Coming from another room
Moving through descending gloom
Then I hear a voice
Changing wrong to right
Filling my heart with light
And pulling me through
From the edge of blue
Then I hear a voice
Coming from another room
Moving through descending gloom
Then I hear a voice
Changing wrong to right
Filling my heart with light
And pulling me through
From the edge of blue

Feeling Mighty Lonesome
Strumming on my old Stella
Trying to get in a groove
Having a bit of a haywire day
Like I can’t get up and move
Starting to tally my blessings
All that are good and true
Like how the luckiest day in my life
Was the day that I met you
Feeling mighty lonesome
Very, very lonesome
Here all on my ownsome
Feeling mighty
Lonesome
Been in a mental prison
Been in a rotten jail
Been all of my own making
But I’m just about to get my bail
You will be home in an hour
That’s what you said in a text
I’m gonna hug you when you walk in
And who knows what’ll happen next
Feeling mighty lonesome
Very, very lonesome
Here all on my ownsome
Feeling mighty
Lonesome
Been in a mental prison
Been in a rotten jail
Been all of my own making
But I’m just about to get my bail
You will be home in an hour
That’s what you tapped to me in a text
I’m gonna hug you, squeeze you when you walk in
And who knows what’ll happen next
Feeling mighty lonesome
Very, very lonesome
Here all on my ownsome
Feeling mighty
Lonesome
Yeah, I’m feeling mighty lonesome...

No one can thrill me quite like you can
Lydia Anne
I’m so thankful I am your man
Understand, I’m your biggest fan

We stroll along walking hand in hand

Living our lives and making our stand
No piece of paper or a wedding band

Well, we fell in love
Back in high school
Now I do declare
I’m still a love-struck fool for you
Lydia Anne
No one can thrill me quite like you can
Understand, I’m your biggest fan

Big Mouth Shut
Said a word, kind of half in fun
Now I seem to be on the run
Out in the backwoods, hiding in a hut
I should have kept my big mouth shut
Said a word, kind of off the cuff
Never dreamed it could get so rough
Now I’m like a car wheel, spinning in a rut
I should have kept my big mouth shut
You might want to pick your battles
Think, before
You play your knucklehead games
You might want to pick your battles
Quick, before
Everything goes up in flames
You might want to pick your battles
Think, before
You play your knucklehead games
You might want to pick your battles
Quick, before
Everything goes up in flames
Said a word that I shouldn’t have said
Now it’s ricocheting in my head
Big remorse come and hit me in the gut
I should have kept my big mouth shut
Now I’m like a car wheel, spinning in a rut
I should have kept my big mouth shut
Out in the backwoods, hiding in a hut
I should have kept my big mouth shut

Heart Have Mercy
Come on, heart
Heart have mercy
Climb out of your secret space
I know you’re there
Deep in the hide of me
Ooh, come on, heart
Heart have mercy
Put those memories in their place
Help me get back
To the brighter side of me
You’re the well that I crawl to
When my soul is cracked and dry
You’re the courage I call to
When I’m too afraid to cry
Come on, heart
Heart have mercy
Climb out of your secret space
I know you’re there
Deep in the hide of me
Ooh, come on, heart
Heart have mercy
Put those memories in their place
Help me get back
To the brighter side of me
You’re the hope that I’m saving
When I misplace the will to live
You’re the love that I’m craving
When I’ve forgotten how to forgive
Ah, please help me remember how to forgive
Come on, come on, heart
Heart have mercy
Climb out of your secret space
I know you’re there
Deep in the hide of me
Ooh, come on, heart
Heart have mercy
Put those memories in their place
Help me get back
To the brighter side of me
I know you’re there
Deep in the hide of me
Help me get back
To the brighter side of me
Ooh, come on, heart...

Rumble Strip
Midnight is falling
Stretching out ahead
We should be at home
Rolling in our big brass bed
But we’re out on this highway
Doing the swerve and dip
We’re tuned in
For the wake-up call
When the tires hit the rumble strip
Swing it back on the road
Got no time to
Hit the ditch
Gonna ride with our ears wide open
For the clatter of the rumble strip
Oh, the rumble strip
Temperature dropping
Out in the rising storm
We’re headed for shelter
We’ll be living safe and warm
Steady hands on the big wheel
Ah, they will not lose their grip
Tuning in
For the wake-up call
When the tires hit the rumble strip
Swing it back on the road
Got no time to
Hit the ditch
Gonna ride with our ears wide open
For the clatter of the rumble strip
Oh, the rumble strip
Sometimes a guy lands right on top
Or maybe he takes a hard fall
Either way, why should a guy up and stop
Why fumble or crumble
Or let your mind get all in a jumble
Keep it right on the ball
Right on the ball
Tuning in
For the wake-up call
When the tires hit the rumble strip
Swing it back on the road
Got no time to
Hit the ditch
Gonna ride with our ears wide open
Gonna ride with our ears wide open
For the clatter of the rumble strip
Oh, the rumble strip...

Nothing Like Lonesome
Nothing like lonesome To make the coffee bitter black Nothing like lonesome To make a train jump off the track Trap you on the high wire No rescue below Make a tear filled river Up and overflow Nothing like lonesome Hmmm Nothing like lonesome To put the moon behind a cloud Nothing like lonesome To make a joyful song too loud Make the red robin tremble To a coyote moan Make an old lover’s whisper Turn a heart to stone Nothing like lonesome Hmmm Nothing like lonesome To make an easy thing too hard Nothing like lonesome To tip a fragile house of cards Start listing the failures Start walking the floor Start weeping and wondering What a life is for Nothing like lonesome Hmmm Nothing like lonesome Hmmm

If I Were A Raven
On a day like today When your so far away And nothing seems to be right Chained to my chair Goin’ nowhere Ah but if I had wings I would glide through this night Yes, if I were a raven I’d fly To be by your side I would try I’d follow the river I’d ride on the breeze Through the misty old mountains High over the trees And in the sunlight of morning you’d hear Through your window, a voice ringing clear I’d send you a tune or two down from the sky Yes, if I were a raven I’d fly Yes, if I were a raven I’d fly

Green Emotions
Through the door I see you walk You are the talk And I am not You have the world And all I’ve got Are green emotions Our eyes connect You give the nod Retreat behind The new facade You glide away You goose the god Of green emotions When you offer your hand It feels too much like a charity stand Pride wells up and I turn my head Walls of a kind hammered up in the mind without any instruction Walls of a kind, like a lockup, confined, it’s a subtle abduction How in the hell did it ever get How in the hell did it ever ever get this way Through the ice Your image blurs You hold your cup You’re so demure You hold the stage While I endure These green emotions Swallowing I drain my glass You’re sipping from Your demitasse I fight but I Succumb at last To green emotions I don’t believe this mind Something turning bitter like quinine Pride wells up and I turn my head Scenes of despair that are never really there popping up on my video Scenes of defeat like a repetitious beat, like a hit on the radio How in the hell did it ever get How in the hell did it ever ever get How in the hell did it ever ever get this way All I’ve got Are green emotions...... All I’ve got Are green emotions......

I Always Knew I Loved You
I always knew I loved you But I never knew how much Until you went too far away For me to hug and such My eyes were cried wide open When lonesome settled in Now, when I pass a mirror I see old lonesome's twin Yes I always knew I loved you But not to what extent My hollow heart has clued me in And it's been a sad event Remembering your passion And your total tender touch Yes I always knew I loved you But I never knew how much

Thistles
Crossed on a red light Must have been blind I've been driftin' a long long time Fightin' my way through the clingin' vines Thistles in my clothes Shake 'em off I'm tryin' Had a good crib hand Couldn't count the cards thought I was cool But my head got jarred Too many strangers in my backyard Thistles in my clothes Shake 'em off Ooh... Had a good taste of that old sunshine I felt too high and I stepped out of line thought I got lucky and I just quit tryin' Thistles in my clothes Shake 'em off Ooh... Crossed on a red light Must have been blind I've been siftin and driftin' a long long time Fightin' my way through the clingin' vines Thistles in my clothes Shake 'em off

Ooh the farmer needs the rain And the farmer needs the heat Needs it in the proper order To grow a field of wheat But when the wind keeps a blowin' Blowin' everything away You can bet your boots the farmer's gonna pay Ah, the government is helpful They tell you what to plant You take it into town They turn around and say, "No tanks." And then the cops pull you over Right in front of the bank Just wanna see if you've got Purple gas in your tank Well it's another dry sundown Navy blue and red Linda's out sellin' Tupperware and the kids are tucked in bed Ah the radio is cracklin' And the tractor's in the shed and I'm thinkin' 'bout some things my father said He said the farmer needs the rain And the farmer needs the heat Needs it in the proper order To grow a field of wheat But when the wind keeps a blowin' Blowin' everything away You can bet your boots the farmer's gonna pay And then the credit man comes to see you At the break of day He might have to take the truck Cos you can't pay right away And you look towards the sky All your praying in vain We got a lotta bills to pay When do we get a break The farmer needs, the farmer needs the rain

Kid Full Of Dreams
A kid full of dreams he was walking one day Crossing the railroad tracks Humming a good luck song to himself With the sun shining down on his back He's gonna go to the city He's gonna see the pretty lights He's gonna go where the wind never blows And every thing is gonna work out right Dreamin boy sits alone in his room Strummin' that 'F' hole guitar And if the strings had a buzz well, now, he never knew Because his head was 'way up in the stars He's gonna go to the city He's gonna find another life He's gonna go where the wind never blows And every thing is gonna work out right Singin' his song, "I'll miss you when I'm gone" Planning the big getaway Poor kid with them small town blues Never knew how much he had to pay Now he's lost in the city High on booze and cocaine With his hands in his pocket and his collar turned up He's just standin' alone in the rain He's gonna go where the wind never blows And every thing is gonna work out the same

Colder Than Ever
Friday evening slipping on the ice
Lookin for adventure in the pale moonlight
I had a Coca Cola at the high school gym
But the girls wouldn't dance where the lights were dim
So, there were three or four big shots headin' downtown
Cursin' up a storm and fallin' on the ground
Got to the cafe everybody gone
Cos the band was playin and the dance was on
And the Nighthawks were playin
We were feelin' right out of it
They were really playin'
It was a brand new song about spendin' the night together
We were colder than ever
Dale's big brother wandered out of the hall
Sayin, "Home you little buggers. You're breakin' the law"
then he took us to the alley and he gave us each a beer
And we heard about the women that were easy 'round here
Me, I had a cigarette, couldn't find a light
We shivered in our parkas by the blue street light
Lookin' at the door, we all tried a grin
As we counted up our change but, we couldn't get in
And the Nighthawks were playin
We were feelin' right out of it
They were really playin'
It was a brand new song about spendin' the night together
We were colder than ever
I was headin' out, Eddie said, "Don't go.
Remember the guy my mother's boyfriend knows?
Well, we got a little money, it should be enough
And it sure beats holdin' this power pole up."
So, the bootlegger came and his nose did shine
We gave him all our money for a bottle of wine
We waited in the alley but he never returned
And the older kids chuckled while our faces burned.
And the Nighthawks were playin
We were feelin' right out of it
They were really playin'
It was a brand new song about spendin' the night together
We were colder than ever

Tender Lullaby
I wish sometimes that everything Had gone a bit differently Except the times when everything It couldn't be better for me But if you don't believe in miracles You could be taking bad advice Pull down the guard and take a listen It's like a tender lullaby Oh many time I've made mistakes When I never trusted my heart But people tell me that's when you learn and I think I, no, I know I'm ready to start But if you don't believe in miracles You could be taking bad advice Pull down the guard and take a listen It's like a tender lullaby I wish sometimes that everything Had gone a bit differently And sometimes I wonder if the time Is ever comin' for me But if you don't believe in miracles You could be taking bad advice Pull down the guard and take a listen It's like a tender lullaby

So Afraid
Country kid comin' to the city With a bag full of songs and tapes Sayin' good-bye to the wide sky City sky crawlin' with the waste Country kid movin' in a hippie house People sleepin' every which a way Diggin' out a dime for the pay phone Livin', livin' on blind faith And I was so excited I thought I really had it made I used to think that I was so heavy Before I became So afraid Country kid sittin on the front porch Laughin and gettin' mighty high Never ever sayin' 'excuse me' Gettin' up and walkin right by Country kid walkin' down the sidewalk Laughin' and kickin' at the rocks Smilin' cos he knows he's gonna find someone To mend all the holes in his socks And I was so excited I thought I really had it made I used to think that I was so heavy Before I became So afraid Family's out there somewhere He doesn't think about them a lot Flat broke but he's so full of himself And he's countin' all the things He's countin' all the things that he's got Country kid sittin on the front porch Laughin and gettin' mighty high Never ever sayin' 'excuse me' Gettin' up and walkin right by But later on, as he's layin' in the backyard Chasin' little fears away Fears piling up in the back of his conscience Waitin' for the red letter day Oh, they're just waitin' for the judgment day And I was so excited I thought I really had it made I used to think that I was so heavy Before I became So afraid

Yellow Moon
Yellow moon, lead me to the harvest Yellow moon, lead me to the harvest Across the long fields at sundown Through the ruts, the stubble cuts my bare feet Like needles Use your magic, yellow moon You can turn me to a child again Yellow moon, come on, let me lay down Yellow moon, come on, let me lay down Let me hide in the shadow of the stooks With the spirits of this breathing ground Work your magic, yellow moon Make me a child again Well is it true you control the sun and the rain Is it true you control the poor man's pain Yellow moon, look at the skyline Yellow moon, look at the skyline Is that fire on the big hill Does the wind send those shivers Just to make my heart start racing Work your magic, yellow moon Make me a child again Well is it true you control the sun and the rain Is it true you control the poor man's pain Yellow moon, I believe you know it Yellow moon, I believe you know it Why the wind blows so hard And the field mice hide Come on, take me to the harvest Work your magic, yellow moon You could turn me to a child again Use your judgment, yellow moon Come on and take me to the harvest

Ironbelly
Ironbelly doesn't play pool anymore He just sits in the corner and drinks Ironbelly's belly has gone to pot And the T V tennis game is on the blink Howard's wearin' a glass of tomato juice On the front of his green corduroys And the records on the juke box are all worn out You just can't hear a thing for the noise Mmm, you just can't hear a thing for the noise Jimmy's sittin' over by the lobby door The mail didn't come and he's flat I hear he sings just like Wilf Carter And he exits with a sissy pack You can depend on Tommy and Lee To keep the pool table occupied Seven kids are all grown up And they came out of it quite alive Mmm, they came out of it quite alive Ironbelly calls for another round Mae, she just takes her time She's gonna sink another eight ball She's gonna tell another joke And she's gonna keep everybody in line When it's time to cut the lights She herds you down to the cabaret Where you get pulverized by an out of tune band And you just dance it all away Mmm, you just dance it all away

Special
Everybody wanna be special
Everybody wanna be so great at what they do
great at what they do
Honor
Everybody want a bit of honor
Everybody wanna put in time on the pedestal

Mm, gonna go out and
Stir up a little bit of talk around town
Burn bright while the sun goes down
Stir up a little bit of talk around town
Burn bright while the sun goes down
Reverence
Everybody wan a bit of reverence
Everybody want the chance to move another mind
Leave their bit of truth behind
Glory
Desperation cries for glory
Some people go out n' try to stop time with a gun
Freeze the frame, you could be the one
Ahh, gonna go out and
Stir up a little bit of talk around town
Burn bright while the sun goes down
Stir up a little bit of talk around town
Burn bright
While the sun goes down
You can feel the heat
Echoes of victory
Tumblin' through the streets
But in the alleyways
that's where the ones who know the stakes
They wait
Meanwhile youngblood cries for money
People do a lot of haywire things for money
Cos people still believe that there's a freedom you can buy
A place where you never, never, never ever have to try
Mm, gonna go out and
Stir up a little bit of talk around town
Burn bright while the sun goes down
Stir up a little bit of talk around town
Burn bright

Love Turns To Ice
Oh I, I really wanted to believe in you I wanted everything to be so true So I, oh I I turned a blind eye Deep in my heart I knew it wasn't strong Tried to believe that there was nothing wrong Then I realized That when trust turns to suspicion Doors are locked, you pay the price It's all a part of the human condition When you look up at the lights And love turns to ice When you Became a stranger I just shoved it away I figured,"Hell, it's gonna be O.K." But I, oh I Could feel it deep inside A tiny finger tappin' on my head A sinkin' feeling turned my gut into lead When I realized That when trust.... It may be subtle but I know that it's there I can hear my heart talkin' I can hear myself talkin' And my heart doesn't lie No, my heart doesn't lie No, my heart doesn't lie Woh I, oh I I really wanted to believe in you I wanted everything to be so true But I realized That when trust.....

Wildman
Tongues talk, knives slice
Pointed fingers flinging advice
People got a cure
For everybodys problems but their own
Things change, songs end
Wind blows and willows will bend
Coats fall to the floor
It happens when you come into the comfort zone
Don't you know that he was sad when he was a wildman
Don't you know that too much time was spent too much alone
There isn't always happiness in the mad facade of a wildman
Who, in the end, was only looking for a home
When he was a wildman
Some leave, some last
Some cling to a piece of their past
But people gotta live
Even when compromise bends and bleeds
Some take, some trade
Lose sleep over making the grade
Coats fall to the floor
It happens when you find what you really need
Don't you know that he was sad...........
We think we're being healed
Sweat dripping in the trembling lights
But we stand revealed
When we return to the empty
to the empty night
Don't you know that he was sad............

Words of a heart that was broken A careful heart that's on the mend Of a heart that was open Got flattened by an ambush Heard you talkin' and my faith was blind You made your exit while I walked the line And now you want my love You're looking for a word from me Well, tell me, what's it gonna be Some kind of unchained melody And now you want my love, my love You're reaching for my respect Well don't you see there's nothing left What do you expect What do you expect Words of a heart that is harder A careful heart that's been betrayed Just won't go, won't go any further Still paying for the last time Heard you talkin' and I had the faith I found me standing in this empty place And now you want my love......... Oh, what a world It's so broken down Filled with shadows of grim deceit Where they cover up your eyes And they fill your head with lies Then they offer up the prize But it was all a big disguise Keep a knockin' but you can't come in No, I'm not opening that door again And now you want my love...........

On summer nights when the moon is full The warm wind's sigh...I remember it still The path we'd walk to the rivers edge The way my father's eyes spoke when nothing was said And I'd take his hand As we walked I'd understand That we would sit there watching the river run All our dreams were there Every secret that we shared In the setting summer sun Watching the river run Seasons came and so did love We spent our days on the banks by the bluff Kisses cool as the water's touch We lay down with our promises, secrets and trust Side by side The sound of the water rushing by We would lay there watching the river run All our dreams were there Every secret that we shared In the setting summer sun Watching the river run The tangled web & the day by day We soon forget what we lost on the way But I go back take my child's hand Walk that path to the river and sit in the sand With her by my side The sound of the water rushing by We'll just sit there watching the river run All our dreams are there Every secret that we share In the setting summer sun Watching the river run
