Grandad's Dresser Drawers 04:00
lyrics

Yellowed love letters Broken bolo ties Trunks filled up with treasures He didn’t mean to leave behind Prints of Charlie Russel’s Old buffalo horns Pockets full of peppermints Shirts he’d never worn Pieces of who he was he was The secrets he didn’t show The story of a man I loved With a life I didn’t know All left to me to sell or keep Now he’s gone through heavens door Sorting through what’s left of him In Grandad’s dresser drawers Air Force pin in his Stetson Still hangin on the hook Hand written directions In horse training books A box of faded Polaroids A bible and his .45 A folded up Old Glory And rusted pocket knives Pieces of who he was he was The secrets he didn’t show The story of a man I loved With a life I didn’t know All left to me to sell or keep Now he’s gone through heavens door Sorting through what’s left of him In Grandad’s dresser drawers A card he kept from his mom and dad The day he turned 18 Enjoy life and love and growing up And everything in between Pieces of who he was he was The secrets he didn’t show The story of a man I loved With a life I didn’t know All left to me to sell or keep Now he’s gone through heavens door Sorting through what’s left of him In Grandad’s dresser drawers I’ve got all of what’s left of him In Grandad’s dresser drawers

Red at Dawn 04:11
lyrics

Early this morning Sailors warning Told me of the changes to come Clouds will be forming Rain will be pouring On these dusty fields before the day is done I’ve been holding back I haven’t crossed those tracks Since before the last full moon Drinkin’ coffee black Countin’ windshield cracks Heard that you’d be coming home soon Yeah I guess I should be heading home too Well to tell you the truth, I’ve been doing you wrong No tellin what I’ll do Just to put it in a song You don’t have a clue But you’ll know before too long When you see the red at dawn I’ve been thinkin about All I’ve done without Every time I chose you over me Yeah we could talk it out But I have no doubt This ship is ready set to sail the sea Yeah this ship is gonna wanna be set free Well to tell you the truth, I’ve been doing you wrong No tellin what I’ll do Just to put it in a song You don’t have a clue But you’ll know before too long When you see the red at dawn

Lost in the Fire 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Smoke curls through the branches Rises ‘bove the pines I’m pickin through the ashes To find what’s left behind Black leaves of photographs Once hung on the wall Jagged shards of broken glass Once windows in the hall Four post that we slept in Is nothin’ but the frame The trunk that we moved west in All taken by the flame We don’t plan it When we strike that flint and steel We feed and fan it Just to make sure that its real We dance around it Caught up in wild desire Then all you loved is burned up And lost in the fire The quilt my momma made us When we were barely wed The crib your daddy gave us To rest our baby’s head The secrets that you carried The closets full of ghosts All dead and buried Now embers in the coals We don’t plan it When we strike that flint and steel We feed and fan it Just to make sure that its real We dance around it Caught up in wild desire Then all you loved is burned up And lost in the fire

Lonely at Lonetree 02:54
lyrics

I’ve been keeping the house I’ve been watching the sky Got bread in the oven And a lot on my mind I’m waiting to see When the sun goes down If I’ll feel any different And want to head to town Or be lonely at Lone Tree tonight The dirt roads are muddy Let it rain let it pour Ain’t got nobody to talk to any more The meadowlarks are calling To each other cross the plains I’m the only one listening That ain’t gonna change I’m lonely at Lone Tree tonight West wind is whipping Through the clothes on the line I ain’t got no worries Just been killin time Gettin up too early Staying up past one Make another pot of coffee Try to get something done I'm lonely at Lone Tree tonight I got my little dog and this old guitar But they can only get me so far I’m lonely at Lone Tree tonight Guess I could do the dishes Or take a walk Call up my momma Just to hear her talk Or sit out on the porch swing And have myself a brew If the stars are out I might as well have two I’m lonely at Lone Tree tonight, oh yeah I’m lonely at Lone Tree tonight.

Deja Vu 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Oh its happening again I swear I’ve seen this place before I don’t know how, don’t know when I last stepped foot through this door. I’ve known your figure in a dream And that tattoo on your chest Nothing is quite as it seems This one is different than the rest Don’t wake me up if I’m sleeping Leave me blinded from the truth If you would kindly keep me In this state of deja vu You left a riddle in my mind And a feather in my hat As morning sun comes through the blinds I only wish I could go back Don’t wake me up if I’m sleeping Leave me blinded from the truth If you would kindly keep me In this state of deja vu As soon as I try to hold on Your memory slips from my grasp I know it won’t be here for long For the good things never last Don’t wake me up if I’m sleeping Leave me blinded from the truth If you would kindly keep me In this state of deja vu

What Would You Say 04:17
lyrics

If I told you I’ve been aching To say those three little words If I told you I’ve been waiting For you to say em first Would you whisper I know Or would you pack and go If I told you that I’ve never Been so scared to confess If I told you of this treasure I hide down in my chest Would you look inside Or would you run and hide If I came out and said it Would I regret it Would the magic fade away If I show how I’m feelin Would it send your head a reelin Would you want to stay Just a slip of my tongue It could all come undone If the chance was mine to take/ if my love was sent your way What would you say If I told you that I’ve seen it A thousand times in my head If I told you when I’m dreaming It’s of the words unsaid (its of the day we wed) Would you take my hand Or leave me where I stand If I came out and said it Would I regret it Would the magic fade away If I show how I’m feelin Would it send your head a reelin Would you want to stay Just a slip of my tongue It could all come undone If the chance was mine to take/ if my love was sent your way What would you say

Mountain Man 03:09
lyrics

Oh mountain man Heart of pine boughs Feet firm in midnight dirt Head up in the clouds Oh dark eyed drifter Dwells out in the sticks Only home is flesh and bone Can’t find a place he fits Oh tell me now Oh show me how To make you mine Oh cowtown crooner Sings a lullaby Of the end of the Indians And good times gone by Oh sundown sinner He’ll be waking up soon Takes a toke and sends rings of smoke Right up to the moon Oh tell me now Oh show me how To make you mine Oh mountain man Dark eyed drifter I’ll be your ma’am If you’ll be my mister Oh tell me now Oh won’t you show me how To make you mine

Bird of a Different Feather 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Her song is of morning Her song is of night Black wings that glisten As she falls in flight Listen to her call for a lover the same Returns as an echo, a lonesome refrain Soaring in gale winds No perch of her own She finds no comfort In her earthly home Mountain sky eyes and a heart with no tether She is a bird of a different feather Rises above All the trouble she’s known Takes to the clouds Over valleys she’ll float Waiting for spring or a change in the weather She is a bird of a different feather Circles her shadow And searches the ground For a common companion But none can be found Winter gets cold when you can’t flock together She is a bird of a different feather
