Something 04:04
Well maybe we've no need for them Mistrust and self defense I'm on your side Our alliance is our confidence I don't need permission To do what my heart tells me to do With magnificent precision it drew these lines that brought me straight here to you And baby you've got my attention Honey, my intentions I'll be making good on them all If I'm good at one thing I want it to be loving Turns nothing into something Ruins turn to fortress walls It's a fixed competition We can't win at least we know their ladders only go so high They won't take us to the mountain snow You don't ever have to question You are all I want All I want Oh baby you've got my attention Honey, my intentions I'll be making good on them all if I'm good at one thing I want it to be loving Turns nothing into something Ruins turn to fortress walls Oh we've got something Something

Gold Rush 04:23

Well they told me son sift and dig this ground there'll be gold out there where you're lost you're found
 So I left my home, and I took to them hills, all for the gold there in the ground all for the gold to be found So I climbed my horse and I grabbed my pan and I made my way through the devils land You know I spilled my blood and I lost my soul all for the gold there in the ground all for the gold there to be found And those hills ran red with my very blood and my feet were caught in the fire and the mud You know I looked to home but I could not turn back not from the gold there in the ground not from the gold there to be found Well they told me son on these hills you'll die Ain't no gold out there, it was all a lie You think you dig for gold You just dig your own grave There ain't no gold there in the ground There ain't no gold there to be found There ain't no gold in the ground There ain't no gold to be found

Baby Please 05:14
We met and we married young when life was long and love was fun right away all the children came from all the love we made well it was love back then These days it feels like love's faded Just like this whole goddamn life got in the way I know we said forever but look at the weather Why's it gotta change? I don't think that I know you the ways I use to know you that would make you smile way back then calendars keep turning ours hearts continue burning but towards other peoples flames Baby please don't leave It may be hard to believe But I need you now I need you now Oh baby please What now after the crying All the dying inside Funny we both lost our wedding rings Is it a prophesy or gold to find Cause baby I just ain't ready to up and walk away Please stay like the children prayed Won't you please try and love me once again Because I don't think that I know you the ways I use to know you that would make you smile way back then Calendars keep turning ours hearts continue burning but toward other peoples flames Baby please don't leave It may be hard to believe but I need you now I need you now oh baby please

Wanting and needing don't make a sound Scrapes till you're bleeding and blaming the ground Someone taught me wrong I feel let down and tired of my circumstances dragging me around Passenger blues give me a wheel drive to my second chance just time on my heels It's always running out always running out Self deceiving to believe a lie we paint the ceiling so it's open sky Someone taught me wrong I feel let down and tired of my circumstances dragging me around Passenger blues give me a wheel drive to my second chance just time on my heels It's always running out always running out

Ten Steps 03:51
If I take solace in loneliness discarding hope for security Will I be free to spend my days all by myself just one mouth to feed Disavowing the love that be Is that ok, is that just me All these wounds inside they bleed from all the pain that was placed on me

And I don't want to be ten steps from free it's just ike free to slip away from me And I don't want to be ten steps from free now It's just like free to slip away and leave You know that freedom is tried and true And I don't got it if I got you
Now you don't want me, that much is clear I'm just wondering what's been keeping me here Its been a long time, a long time coming you can see it coming round the bend
I hate to say it, hard to relate it but its now or never for better weather in the end

I don't want to be, ten steps from free It's just like free to slip away from me I don't want to be ten steps from free now It's just like free to slip away and leave

Best Year 04:50
It's gonna be my very best year I'm gonna put my money down right here I"m gonna wear my most expensive dress when I am feeling like I'm worth less I'm gonna play these tricks on myself, only the kind that are good for my health I'm gonna build my confidence in time I wouldn't make it your work when it's mine Fate shows no remorse when life takes a different course Any turn in the story can break us or bring us glory I'm glad to know you're gonna be near I'm taking off my sweater while you steer We're gonna go somewhere we've never been We're gonna roll the windows down and lean into the wind When living feels like a race. I'm running hard trying to place Better if it's a ride I'll just find my way inside It's gonna be my very best year you're gonna be astonished when you hear I'm not afraid of making a mistake Bolder than a backwards dive into a glacier lake I feel like I belong when I know all the words to the song All I love I've guarded Finally home is where my heart is It's gonna be my very best year

XO 03:44
I got a running start Where did you go ? Followed my heart led me in a circle learning all I forgot cried a lot waited on god overrated answers only know life is hard how do you feel? I feel alright I won't be discouraged swinging myself around above the ground between trees falling off a hammock and I I feel alive ah! pour me another! waltz down the boulevard we're laughing hard we're laughing hard I try to pick you up when there you go stumbling now after a cloud we'll nail it down wish I had a hammer I I feel alive Is that my brother out in my mother's yard? where did you go? up in my room needing no attention sInging my second thoughts weightless dots like you and me swimming in the ocean I I feel alive alive alive ah! it's like another life

Finest Thing 03:37
You are the dark haired girl you are the flapper with the curl you always know whats best babe 
We're at the bar you are my guest You're on the dance floor looking like a ten spot 
I'm on the wall just sippin whiskey hoping hot shot 
I catch your eyes they are a flame 
I catch your smile and its the same you are the finest thing the finest thing I've ever seen 
you are the dark haired girl you are the princess with the pearls 
you are my house on fire babe you are my one desire babe 
I'll be your stackhouse man I aim to please you if I can and I'll be your house on fire babe I'll be your one desire babe You are the finest thing the finest thing I've ever seen

when I think about your baby eyes 
well then, I cant sleep at night
 When I think that I may fall for you
 it gets me all tied up inside I remember somebody told me
 don't you stop being free
 We all need our time
 Don't listen to them The loneliest hearts belong to men
 Just keep to road 
though lonely it goes Well I seen your heart and I seen your smile 
Sometimes I just want to die 
God forbid the day that I fall in love
 and forbid the day that I cry I remember somebody told me
 don't you stop being free
 We all need our time 
Just don't let them in The loneliest hearts belong to men 
Just keep to road 
though lonely it goes

All's Well 04:09
How easily my world was spun when I was young and looking for a lover to crown me with significance make me a wife and a mother Now even still it's a thrill to see how fast my heart can take a corner I nearly crashed so many times if I had dimes! I'd buy back lost honor Time tells we need each other nothing is as comforting or colder when you're suffering than a shoulder Be with me now we need each other it may not be this good again don't let it end don't let it be over My ideals and tried beliefs smile at me with missing teeth and sad eyes beaten by the mystery sticking around for a consolation prize I went off in my head to a bed where we were together all the pillows on the floor down for more ask me for forever I know all's well if we've got each other nothing is as comforting or colder when you're suffering than a shoulder Be with me now we need each other it may not be this good again don't let it end don't let it be over
