Cowboy Blues

Cowboy Blues
1. Cowboy Blues



Cowboy Blues
(verse 1)
take me out west
where the foundation is dry
but the brew is wet
lay me down in the green grass
let me plant something wild and free
and watch it grow
with his sturdy frame in my view

why did I fall in love
and then leave that bull-rider?
the realest thing I ever knew
it was all right here
tucked into the quilt of my heart
sleeping quietly in my hometown

(chorus)
tracing the rocky mountains
dancing barefoot in cold rains
forget I left and take hold of me
leave the girl you took as a partner
I'll stick around and won't leave no longer
let me sing you my life's love song, cowboy blues
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
riding shotgun in your old pickup
just as always
the lonely highway feels warm
the sun in the dusty sky
can fry up my insecurities about you
you're my baby

I'll take care of you
you watch out for me
I've got your back 
and picked up your slack

(chorus)
trying to hide from the sun
leaving the shade and going on the run
taking a chance and getting married
your mama probably hates me
my daddy thinks you're sleazy
our twisted lives have become a love song, cowboy blues
(end chorus)

(bridge)
even if a tornado shakes us up
I'll pour happiness in your cup
anyway

(chorus)
tracing the rocky mountains
dancing barefoot in cold rains
forget I left and take hold of me
leave the girl you took as a partner
I'll stick around and won't leave no longer
let me sing you my life's love song, cowboy blues
trying to hide from the sun
leaving the shade and going on the run
taking a chance and getting married
your mama probably hates me
my daddy thinks you're sleazy
our twisted lives have become a love song, cowboy blues
(end chorus)

The Other Side of Goodbye

The Other Side of Goodbye 1.  The Other Side of Goodbye The Other Side of Goodbye (verse 1) I can't say I'm not thankful when I look through my old photo album I know I've acted ungrateful but all I'm seeing is tears, laughter, and memories we all passed down our legends it was like those decades lasted just seconds a lifetime that lasts eternity but all I'm seeing is tears, laughter, and memories (chorus) a last song for you, last song for you a little blue, but I promise it'll always feel brand new a last song for you, last song for you in my mind, you'll walk through the same door like you always do I swear I loved this place I swear I loved every face I swear on this melody, I swear we were in harmony we shared enemies, we cared so friendly it was then that I learned everything's not in black and white thank you for kindness, thank you for your tenderness thank you for smile, thank you for your love thank you for everything this goodbye has another s...

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...
