Empty In California

Whatever I do I won’t leave my shoes
Empty in California
left the key in the door, got my foot to the floor
Empty in California
Made my bed but wont lay my head
Empty in California
Whatever I do I won’t leave my shoes
Empty in California
San Andreas well i know it’s not your fault
You like stealing dreams
And it’s easy to get caught
living on the wrong side of this great divide
it sure gets lonely in a superficial life
Whatever I do I won’t leave my shoes
Empty in California
Put a lock on your door, got my foot to the floor
Wont be Empty in California
Made my bed but wont lay my head
Empty in California
Whatever I do I won’t leave my shoes
Empty in California
those lost angels never poured their mercy down
More souls dying than living in this town
i felt the ground shake but nothing ever moved
Heard every boring LA story and none of them were true
I can see fire from Hollywood and Vine
Man my feet are tired and wasted so much time yeah Ive wasted so much time
Whatever I do I won’t leave my shoes
Empty in California
Put a lock on your door, got my foot to the floor
Wont be Empty in California
Made my bed but wont lay my head
Empty in California
Whatever I do I won’t leave my shoes
Empty in California

All The Right Things
03:50
|
|||
|
You got a job
You got more money than God
You got a wife
You got a two faced life
You got a plan
but you’re no simple man
You do all the right things
Say all the nice things
Pray all the fine things into your hungry little hands
You’re living high
You almost touch the sky
Least in your mind
you are a legend to find
The chosen few
Hell-bent on serving you …cause
You do all the right things
Say all the nice things
Pray all the fine things into your hungry little hands
You do right , for all the wrong reasons
You do wrong for all the right things
Sell your soul for silver and gold
You do wrong for all the right things
You do wrong for all the right things
You take up your cross
If you can hear the applause
but its an act
Like an apostle in drag
You got the code
To hack the Holy Ghost for…..
you do all the right things
say all the nice things
pray all the fine things into your hungry little hands
You do right , for all the wrong reasons
You do wrong for all the right things
Sell your soul for silver and gold
You do wrong for all the right things
You do wrong for all the right things
Only 2x at end

Gone
04:03

I could not sell you
On being the suffering kind
You’re too far accustomed
To fine food and wine
You like the parties
And that whole crazy scene
But I’d sooner go bankrupt
Than chasing your dream
(Chorus)
What do you do when you get lonely
That’s hard to answer cause you’re never alone
And if I let myself slip away
You wouldn’t even notice i was gone
you wouldn't even notice I was gone
You got your whole world
in the palm of your hand
cold glass and steel
your lover and friend
I’m waiting in real time
for you to look up
but real life is boring
and I (ain’t/I’m )not enough
(Bridge)
A million miles sits between us at the table
You don’t even try, or maybe you’re not able
to try n’ even feel
for someone who is real

Angels Come
03:41
|
|||
|
She keeps him on a tight leash
She plays him like a backbeat
Cause she’s got 50 years of heartache
On her side
she dont remember when it happened
It just happened
She let that fear of losing him
eat her up inside
Angels come, Angels come
she cant let go she can't hold on
She wonders where the time has gone
Angels come Angels come.
she don't talk much to her children
there’s a thousand miles between them
Cause she’s got 50 years of heartache
On her side
She dont remember when it happened
It just happened
they left home took her heart and took the light
(Chorus)
she’d give it all for a little hope
Something to tame the ghosts
that whisper all night long in her mind
She dont remember when it happened
It just happened
The day the voices drowned out her real life

I'll Say It Again
03:54
|
|||
|
I guess I don't tell you enough
Frankly I’m not good with words
Too many times they fall by the wayside
And too many times they hurt
I hope you see the light in my eyes
When you catch me looking at you
And all the wonders that you are
wash over me like new
(Chorus)
Win or lose
I’ll be here for you
Listen cause I’ll say it again
Listen cause I’ll say it again
If I had chose
I’d still chose you
Listen cause I’ll say it again
Listen cause I’ll say it again
I should let you know more often
How your amazing in so many ways
I know I’m a difficult case
After all these years. I’m surprised you’d stay
equal parts strength and kindness
stir in your crazy grin
And it all becomes your beautiful soul
and baby I’m all in
who can understand these things
the ways of love and life
all I know is when Im with you
my whole world comes alive
(Chorus)

Heart Leaves Behind
03:30
|
|||
|
Change the color of your hair
Put on your new black dress
Take a hard look in the mirror
Lie to yourself
And you’ll pour another
Start calling up old numbers
Of one night stands
Anything to not remember
The mess you’re in
And you wont admit you’re the reason why
(Chorus)
You cant forgive you cant forget
you cant out run all your regrets
Through every tear you tell yourself you’re fine
You cant hold you cant let go
You fake a smile that’s just for show
You cant go back cause no you’re outta time
When your head don’t know what your heart leaves behind
Put your memories in a suitcase
Get on a plane
Find yourself a new place
Where it snows and rains
You pour yourself another glass of pain
(Chorus)
( Instrumental)
(Last Chorus)
You cant hold you cant let go
You fake a smile that’s just for show
You cant go back cause no you’re outta time
Through every tear you tell your self your fine
When your head don’t know what your heart leaves behind

Ease Me On Up
03:19
|
|||
|
I can't sleep now
I couldn't sleep then
Not sure of the how
Not sure of the when
all the days and nights
seem like they’re rolled into one
I don’t remember
When the two became the one
(Chorus)
Ease me on up
Ease my troubled mind
Higher higher higher i will climb close to your love
Ease me on up
I’d give it all back
if i knew it would matter
Like some golden calf
baptized through the fire
Forty suns and moons
Means that the stars will align
I’ll make it through
Cause i know that you won't leave me behind

True Companion
03:02
|
|||
|
I don’t have much I can offer, But all I have is your’s to take
Theres no one more tender or softer
i’ll be the best love you can make
I'm on my way through the canyons I'm on my way back to you
ill be your one True companion I'll be the one to see you through
I Was born a deser’ts daughter, Someday I’ll leave like the wind
I’ll be your cool drink of water
when I hold you again
On my way through the canyons I'm on my way back to you
ill be your one True companion I'll be the one to see you through
Bridge:
Wait , wait i wont be long
suns going down
But I'm coming home
wait, wait you’re where i belong
ill be your one True companion

Build My Mountain
03:27
|
|||
|
Pushing , pulling the river
Trying to make it go my way
All I saw was fear
When I looked into the mirror
It was someone else’s face
I got tired of seeing from the outside
I never felt like me
Gonna stop where I’m standing
Take this life I’m handed
And start here on my knees
(Chorus)
I’m Gonna Build My Mountain
I’m Gonna Build It High
I’m Gonna Build My Mountain
Until I touch the sky
I’m gonna keep on climbing
One dream at a time
Never knowing what I’ll find
(Verse 2)
Winning , Losing the rat race
But what do you sacrifice
If I keep on running
I am afraid I will become someone
My granny wouldn’t like
(Chorus)
Bridge
It’s the road less taken
It’s not for everyone
But it’s the life I’m making
In my heart, my song , my home
( Chorus)
I’m Gonna Build My Mountain
I’m Gonna Build It High
I’m Gonna Build My Mountain
Until I touch the sky
I’m gonna keep on climbing
One dream at a time
Never knowing
I like never knowing
what I’ll find

That Train
03:31
|
|||
|
I went looking for my angel
didn’t mean what I said last night
found his empty cup, keys to the house still hung up
his boots are gone along with his old red truck
Ohh I wish my eyes couldn’t see
ooh I wish my ears couldn’t hear
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
pulling out the soul of me
taken all my everything
that train
What do I do? -oh how will I stand
when my whole world is shaking nearby
go back to bed pull the covers over my head
Cry out a river till my eyes run bone dry
Ooh I would lay myself down on the tracks
if I knew it would drive it all back before (that train)
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
pulling out the soul of me
taken all my everything
that train
What kind of love leaves you so little?
Broken, brittle
Blinded in the smoke of that train
oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
(instrumental)
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
That train, oooh that train
pulling out the soul of me
taken all my everything
that train
