Stay Still 04:19
lyrics
buy track
She’s alone tonight Can’t make it right, can’t make it right He walked out the door Gonna start a fight, he’s gonna start a fight She called out to him, “You can never win, you can never win!”
 He’s on a collision course He’s never coming back, never coming back Can we all just stand still Like we’re posing for an old fashioned photograph Just try to stay still, and snap a moment in time We need to sit still while the world spins faster Just try to stay still. He played his hand He had to make a stand, had to make a stand He fell to the ground Without a sound, without a sound. Can we all just stand still Like we’re posing for an old fashioned photograph Just try to stay still, and snap a moment in time We need to sit still while the world spins faster Just try to stay still. Can’t hear a sound Walls close around We all fall down It’s all over. Someone’s knocking on the door Don’t let them in, can’t let them in She doesn’t know a thing She’s innocent, she’s innocent Hear the sirens wail, She is caught between love and hell He did his righteous deed He’s never coming back, he’s never coming back Can we all just stand still Like we’re posing for an old fashioned photograph Just try to stay still, and snap a moment in time We need to sit still while the world spins faster Just try to stay still.

Back To Ohio 02:35
lyrics

She used to be a good friend of mine We used to giggle while we did minor crimes While we were playing she let time pass by So she went Back to Ohio She was a typical Hollywood girl The lights and music made her body twirl The pills and liquor dazes made her swirl So she went Back to Ohio B - She never snagged that rock star man She played guitar but never played in a band She kept waiting for the next big thing But it never came. She always struggled when it came to funds The money never came in leaps and bounds. She tried to make it but had to leave that town So she went Back to Ohio

B section Everything that she had been and done This party doll she never gave up fun Her memories they dazzle everyone Since she went Back to Ohio

Allegheny Angel 04:20
lyrics

I walk down through the battlefield Down to the three rivers, that collected all of our tears. Were we fighting to be free, or were we fighting for the greed To grab the land that wasn't ours to take away.... Allegheny Angel come to me Every time my heart breaks, you can see.... Shine a light upon my way, give me hope/strength for just another day Allegheny Angel comfort me.... I crossed the sea from a foreign land To start a new life with nothing in my hands My lungs fill with coal mine dust, and now the rivers run with rust, But my children's children will have a better day. Allegheny Angel come to me Everytime my heart breaks, you can see.... Shine a light upon my way, give me hope/strength for just another day Allegheny Angel rescue me.... In the light of the day this place takes my breath away Comfort me Give you thanks in the night this fair earth has paved my way.... Allegheny angel..... On the cobblestones in Market Square No more smokestacks left to steal away the air Singing songs about my life with a new and different strife I am grateful for the land I stand upon Allegheny Angel come to me Everytime my heart breaks, you can see.... Shine a light upon my way, give me hope/strength for just another day Allegheny Angel comfort me…. rescue me…. shelter me….

Pennsylvania 04:05
lyrics

Sitting on the front porch watching the world go by Traffic jams and sirens blaring through the smoggy sky Try to recall those blissful days when I close my eyes But the rain keeps falling and my heart keeps longing inside. Take me down to my valley, take my to my home Take me back to Pennsylvania where I’ve never felt alone Take me down to the Youghiogheny River Where my ancestors were all born Take me back to my Pennsylvania home. Wondering why I moved here, and I’m thinking I just don’t know. Letters don’t help me, no texts, not the telephone. With so many people surrounding me how could I feel alone? Maybe it’s time I decided that it’s time to go…. Take me down to my valley, take my to my home Take me back to Pennsylvania where I’ve never felt alone Take me to the Monongahela River Where my ancestors were all born Take me back to my Pennsylvania home. PENNSYLVANIA Where the rivers run wide and the evergreens kiss the sky PENNSYLVANIA Where the dragonflies glide and the sparkle bugs shine in the night PENNSYLVANIA Where the eagles fly, way up high Now I know where I belong…. Take me down to my valley, take my to my home Take me back to Pennsylvania where I’ve never felt alone Take me down to the Allegheny River Where my ancestors were all born Take me back to my Pennsylvania home. Take me down to my valley, take my to my home Take me back to Pennsylvania where I’ve never felt alone Take me down to the Youghiogheny River Where my ancestors were all born Take me back, take me back, take me back to my Pennsylvania home. Take me back to my Pennsyltuckey home.

Well I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY to make you believe in me And I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY not to act so foolishly Well I just try to ignore and pretend to be so bored. Watch your step or you’re out the door. Prince on a white horse, you’re not Master of my bedroom, you’re not An all-night party, you’re not You’re the man I just forgot. Well I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY to make you believe in me And I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY not to act so foolishly Well I just try to ignore and pretend to be so bored. Watch your step or you’re out the door. Your Mother, I’m not Your little French maid, I.m not Your Cleopatra, you wish But I’m still your favorite dish…. Well I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY to make you believe in me And I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY not to act so foolishly Well I just try to ignore and pretend to be so bored. Watch your step or you’re out the door. You make it so hard I can’t cry You make me want to live a lie. Well I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY to make you believe in me And I TRY TRY TRY TRY TRY not to act so foolishly Well I just try to ignore and pretend to be so bored. Watch your step or you’re out the door.

There's been a storm brewing inside my soul for some time Keep hoping that the clear skies will bring me some sunshine Try to conjure up the times of my life Where it's safe and warm and I can again feel alive I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME I’M COMING HOME, Right where I wanna be I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME I’M COMING HOME, Where I'm supposed to be Did you ever think the path you chose might have been the wrong one Then you have to live with all the mistakes, regrets and be the strong one Even thou I feel that I have done well There's a hole deep down at the bottom of this hell I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME I’M COMING HOME, Right where I wanna be I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME I’M COMING HOME, Where I'm supposed to be I need to float down your rivers and streams Look to recover my childhood dreams Stand on the top of the mountains I love Searching for where I have been And wondering just how to begin again I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME I’M COMING HOME, Right where I wanna be I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME I’M COMING HOME, Where I'm supposed to be I'M COMING HOME, I’M COMING HOME

Situation 04:04

The situation is getting red It’s freezing cold in this burning bed I need to pass the time In the quiet of the night Your breath just hangs just hangs…. I don’t need this fight, I’m better off now I’m just too tired to fight I heard the warning, you spun our web Side by side, all our money’s spent You’re the loudest in the room You come crashing in, I take a step back always let you win you win… I don’t need this fight, I’m better off now I’m just too tired to fight Just don’t want this fight, I’m better off now Just don’t need this fight. The morning sun is here, it softens, it softens. Always want what we can’t have, with words unspoken words unspoken. It’s all okay, seems to always stay the same Drift in and out, Night turns to day The light shines on your face There’s a stranger there Running fingers through my hair my hair. I don’t need this fight, I’m better off now I’m just too tired to fight Just don’t want this fight, I’m better off now Just don’t need this fight.

Hold Me 04:02

In the darkness of the night, the stars look down on me And Mr. Moon says with his sarcastic smile, “Where is he?” 
I don’t know but I must admit I care I had my cool, but hey it up and went somewhere. So Hold Me You’re the only thing that keeps my feet on the ground Hold Me I don’t wanna be just another forgotten memory. I had my share of romancing, kissing underneath the stars And Mr. Moon says I can’t go dancing, without you in my arms. So Hold Me You’re the only thing that keeps my feet on the ground Hold Me I don’t wanna be just another forgotten memory. Baby Hold Me…… Baby Hold Me…. yeah yeah yeah

 In the morning in the evening in the middle of the night You call my name and I feel alright I know this love’s gonna last forever I’ve got you in my heart. So Hold Me You’re the only thing that keeps my feet on the ground Hold Me I don’t wanna be just another forgotten memory. Baby Hold Me……

Setting up getting ready for a gig in a book store out of town Nothing special going on just people hanging around I could see a man browsing the aisles and looking right at me What's he looking at? Hey wait! Could that be????? WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? Well what the heck is he doin here? He should be out with friends having a beer Was that George Strait? Was that George Strait? Flannel shirt and his hair slicked back He wasnt wearing any cowboy hat WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? He started walking toward the cafe & turned to head over to me I was busy tuning my guitar to the key of D He asked me what kinda music did I play and I said, ”Good!" And then I felt like a smart ass or misunderstood..... WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? Well what the heck is he doin here? He should be out with friends having a beer Was that George Strait? Was that George Strait? Flannel shirt and his hair slicked back He wasnt wearing any cowboy hat WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? My friend and I turned to each other He looked familiar but we just didnt know Could he be what's-her-names? brother? Was his name somethin like Hank or Mel or Johnny or Joe????? WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? Well what the heck is he doin here? He should be out with friends having a beer Was that George Strait? Was that George Strait? Flannel shirt and his hair slicked back He wasnt wearing any cowboy hat WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT? Well what the heck is he doin here? He should be out with friends having a beer Was that George Strait? Was that George Strait? He wasnt wearing any cowboy hat (I know, can you imagine that?) WAS THAT GEORGE STRAIT?

Run 04:29

I bite my nails, don’t even know your name Weak and pale how long will I have to wait, so I just wait I hear you travel through the wind Those (precious) words you whispered become dim I wish that I could take your hand one more time And run. Run. I feel needles in my hands, this wasn’t planned Are you behind this wall? If I could…… I’d stand tall. I hear you travel through the wind Those (precious) words you whispered become dim I wish that I could take your hand one more time And run. Run. Run. Freedoms come at a price, Lay me down. I remember that your voice was nice, but the wind… Erased the sound. I hear you travel through the wind Those (precious) words you whispered become dim I wish that I could take your hand one more time And run. Run. Run.

Her Music Lives On (Sandy) 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Big brown eyes and a heart shaped smile She never could disguise what was deep inside her heart Twisted sense of humor and carefree joy The wish that she could meet the perfect boy fell apart
 When she burned those bridges also buried her soul Never did imagine she would lose control Everything seemed to disappear but Her Music Lives On. She’s gone, never be forgotten She’s gone, from the devil’s garden She left, not a word was spoken Now the devil’s curse is forever broken She always said the funniest things, making up words to all the songs we’d sing Life of the party nothing ever was dull, no one expected such a drastic fall She’s gone, never be forgotten She’s gone, from the devil’s garden She left, not a word was spoken Now the devil’s curse is forever broken A crazy life undone she’ll never see the rising sun Some hearts were broken, others just cheered Can’t believe that she’s not still here. No magic in the air, she left without a care Everything’s done, everything’s dead But Her Music Lives On. She’s gone, never be forgotten She’s gone, from the devil’s garden She left, not a word was spoken Now the devil’s curse is forever broken

Wings of The Night 02:59

She slept in her room awakened at dawn By the breath of the wind and the nightingale song Walked to the sea with her candles flame Heard the winds of Jamaica that called out her name Midnight, comes a knock at the door The lady you’re seeking lives here no more She slipped away at the last ray of light Carried away on the Wings of The Night Tales of the sea, her Father would tell, Of pirates and sailors she remembers so well In her dreams they battled but always survived They fought for the gold she kept locked up inside Midnight, comes a knock at the door The lady you’re seeking lives here no more She slipped away at the last ray of light Carried away on the Wings of The Night The sun is nearly setting, the moon is on the rise Don’t you be forgetting the promise of the skies. She takes out of hiding her secret in gold Her Father had given her so long ago Then she unlocks her heart with her magical key Now her ship is the moon and the heavens her sea. Midnight, comes a knock at the door The lady you’re seeking lives here no more She slipped away at the last ray of light Carried away on the Wings of The Night

Tell me what went down on Second Street today Fighting and the cops, you better stay away All you’ve ever seen and all you ever feel Just Listen To Me stories that I tell you all are real.

You better Listen To Me Listen To Me You better Listen To Me Listen To Me You’ll get outta trouble time and time again Please take heed of this, I’m trying to be your friend All you’ve ever seen and all you ever feel Just Listen To Me stories that I tell you all are real.

River of Life 03:40

In the middle of the night, I heard a baby scream And when I turned to the sound1 I found it was only me Now it's time to stand alone, Say goodbye to the child in me. And I'm riding down this river Riding down the River of Life. There's a mystery at every turn that keeps me alive And even though the water's cold... I keep riding, riding, riding (to the next stop) Riding, riding, ridinq down the River of Life Riding, riding, riding (to the next stop) Riding down the River of Life. As night gives into day, I push all my fears away I stir them into the water, And they fade to a drop in the grey. And my childhood memories, Remind me to keep my wits about me. And I'm riding down this river, Riding down the River of Life. There's a mystery at every turn that keeps me alive. And even though the water's cold..... I keep riding, riding, riding (to the next stop) Riding riding, riding down the River of Life. Riding, riding, riding (to the next stop) Riding down the River of Life. Love seems to come and go Luck seems to ebb and flow changes surround my every turn. And we can't hold on to something that's not our own One by one we search for home All joined yet all alone. And I keep riding, riding, riding (to the next stop) Riding1 riding, riding down the River of Life Riding, riding, riding { to the next stop) Riding down the River of Life.

Thought I heard you crying In the middle of the night Never share your sorrow, it’ll be alright. I could dry your years Anytime of day Wipe away those fears make them go away. Everything’s Alright Nothing more to do Everything’s Alright You’ve got me and I’ve got you. Thought I saw you dreaming, could it be about me?
Tears stream down your face, just gonna let it be. Now I watch you sleeping, you’re a million miles away Open up the gates and leave or stay. Everything’s Alright Nothing more to do Everything’s Alright You’ve got me and I’ve got you Your heart’s been broken into pieces From the time you were born Let me show you how to love again Mend everything that’s torn….. Everything’s Alright Nothing more to do Everything’s Alright You’ve got me and I’ve got you. Everything’s Alright Nothing more to do Everything’s Alright You’ve got me and I’ve got you.
