Cracked and Bent Verse: I aint cracked - I'm just bent... And I don't know if what you want honey is what I meant. I"m going down to the river - I'm gonna take myself one long drink this time. I'm going down to be delivered - I'm gonna get my ass up off and across this line. Verse: I'm just burnt, - I aint spent... And I'm not sure if what you heard is what I meant. I"m going down to the river - I'm gonna take myself one long look this time. I'm going down to be delivered - I'm gonna get myself together honey I aint lying. Chorus: And you know I aint lying - cause sometimes living means dying. And I see my mistakes - make it worth the price you pay honey before it's too late. Verse: I aint scared, I'm just a bit twisted - Well who it is you think I am, honey I think you missed it. I"m going down to the river - I'm gonna get myself one little piece this time. I'm going down to be delivered - I'm gonna keep on searchin' my soul until I find. I aint cracked, I'm just a bit twisted.

Thin Fine Line Verse: The scars upon these pages of a book that's paper thin... cause someone in this story had to lie. I still remember saying' that I loved you long ago… but I don't think you ever heard me cry. Sitting in the back seat - feeling all this pain... All I could think was - God I'll never be the same. Chorus: But you don't know - and you can't see… Why don't you just go out and find out what it is you need. I don't mind - you didn't waste my time… I just think somewhere we crossed that think fine line… And now I know…I think it's time for me to go. Verse: Sometimes I wonder who I am and if it's who I could have been. I feel like there's a stranger deep inside. One day in the middle of a song I tried to fight… I had to look that stranger in the eyes. Waken from a bad dream - my tears they came like rain… All I could think is God - I'll never be the same. Chorus: But you don't know - and you can't see… Why don't you just go out and find out what it is you need. I don't mind - you didn't waste my time… I just think somewhere we crossed that think fine line… And now I know…I think it's time for me to go. Verse: It's time for me to wake the child I have inside… and listen to the voice that's in my head. I'll walk away from anger and I won't be fooled by pride…. I'll hang on by a rope or by a thread. All at once I realized - it's ok to feel this pain… All I could think is - God I don't have to stay the same. Chorus: But you don't know - and you can't see… Why don't you just go out and find out what it is you need. I don't mind - you didn't waste my time… I just think somewhere we crossed that think fine line… And now I know…I think it's time for me to go.

Holding Me Down If I got out of my way And I stopped holding me down I might just follow my heart And ride it all over town But my wheels they just spin And drive me right in a ditch I just can’t figure it out And I can’t find the switch Well I’ve been waiting so long That I forgot what it means I’m gonna follow my heart And go wherever it leads I’m gonna follow the sun Going up and coming down I’m gonna open both eyes There must be something around That makes me happy inside ‘Cause I don’t know how to be And if I wait too long I know my soul won’t break free I keep pushing it down And thinking I’m just a fool Well, I might laugh out of place I might lose all of my cool If I said I’m happy inside Would you even believe I thought I’d learn how to lie And that could set my soul free I’m tired of wasting my time ‘Cause time ain’t nobody’s friend And we just throw it away Until tomorrow comes an end.

Don't Bring Me Down Verse: I know what you think… ...but I don't know why you cry. All those years of drinking… ...took the truth out of your eyes. I don't know what to say - to you… ...and I've done all I can do. You took my love away from me… ...tell me what are you trying to prove…? Chorus: Don't bring me down - down to you… Don't push around - someone you put through. Don't stand there cryin’ - over lies you told… I never knew your lovin’ - could ever make me cold. Verse: I hear what you're saying… ...but I don't know what you need. All those games you played… ...left my soul to bleed. I don't know why you come here… ...in the middle of the night. But I know why you run away… ...you were much too torn to fight. Chorus: Don't bring me down - down to you… Don't push around - someone you put through. Don't stand there cryin’ - over lies you told… I never knew your lovin’ - could ever make me cold.

Wandering 06:14
WANDERIN’ Verse: Lately days go by—you don’t know what they mean The story in your eyes –was never what it seemed It’s cloudy down that road—but I can’t stay here no more It’s hard lookin’ through your windows—when you can’t find any doors -- I don’t know Verse: People build their walls—then they ask you to come in You gotta take it or you leave it all—when you wanted just to be friends The ones that mean so much—become just candles in the wind The ones who were there for you—are too busy makin’ friends --I don’t know Chorus: Please don’t tell me that you think that’s okay You can’t turn your back on it because it never goes away You’ve been wanderin’ but you’re so far from your home “Cause you’ve been wanderin’ but you’re wanderin’ alone Bridge: I don’t really know anymore—you wanted out just to come back in You say you don’t know anymore --and can we still be friends There’s something going on around here—and I don’t know where to begin There’s something going wrong around here—and I don’t know when it will end
11.
In To Deep Verse: I’m in too deep now—I’ve gone too far I rode this broken heart just a little too hard I should have known better—it’s a little too late I wrote it all off—guess you call it fate Chorus: And I don’t know what to do What if it all comes down to me and you Verse: A little old man I was passin’ by It was written on his shoe—there was trouble on the fly Sometimes I wonder—if it’s too late Will I get it all down before the wake Chorus: And I don’t know what to do What if it all comes down to me and you Verse: Well what if it’s broken—whatcha’ gonna do You gonna fix it up now—now that we’re through Now what does it matter—where we got our start Don’t tell me now—there’s a pain in your heart Chorus: And I don’t know what to do What if it all comes down to me and you

It Was A Good Time Verse: I took the long road, I had my reasons – Singing the same songs, pr-evoking treason. I was born with a passion, and I knew my calling – I've seen dreams lose their dreamers... I've seen lovers keep falling for love. Verse: I was the one with poison, I was the one in trouble - I was the one who needed, I felt sorry for ones not bleeding. I felt every bump in the pavement, I have the scares to prove it - I did not know where you're going - I just know that I blew you away. Chorus: It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain... I found God there, I learned to swear, and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again... have to throw it away, again, and again... Verse: I wish I could cry some days, I wish I could die sometimes - I've wanted to kill some people, because I knew where they came from. I carried signs and wore flowers, I stared in the mirror for hours, I even voted for Jesus, when I was too young to vote so there, and there, and there oh... Chorus: It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain... I found God there, I learned to swear, and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again... have to throw it away, again, and again... Verse: I took some wrong roads, I skipped on the highways - Waving my peace signs, flipped on some days. I've swallowed my anger, as I choked on my problems, I've tried helping losers, thank God I'm not lost anymore.... anymore....anymore.... Chorus: It was a good time, we had much fun, in the sunshine and rain... I found God there, I learned to swear, and I'll never...have to throw it away, again, and again... have to throw it away, again, and again…
