A night in Halifax 02:54
lyrics
buy track
I remember the way that the wind blew through As we walked along the dock And the things that you said were oh so true About nights in Halifax Yeah a night in Halifax I thought I heard someone singing An old familiar song And as the sun goes down I’m feeling rowdy Wide awake till dawn I say we go and tear the whole town up tonight Won’t leave the club until they turn on all the lights We’ll hit the streets until the crowd subsides I think I’m ready for another crazy night Another crazy night. It’s funny the way it gets right to you And you want to travel back So here’s to the best yes such great memories About nights in Halifax Oh a night in Halifax I thought I heard someone singing An old familiar song And as the sun goes down this place gets rowdy Alive from dusk till dawn I say we go and tear the whole town up tonight Won’t leave the club until they turn on all the lights We’ll hit the streets until the crowd subsides I think I’m ready for another crazy night Another crazy night. I remember the way that the wind blew through As we walked along the dock

I should be sleeping but I am still awake and dreaming I should be snoring, but I am so just not that boring Got nothing I’ve exhausted all my local entertainment I may be calling on you. I’m OK by myself but I’m a much better party with someone else I’m ok by myself but I’m a much better party with somebody Go late night walking talking round the city everybody drop in a night club just to check the scene and count the bodies Wait until morning that’s when I will give the go home warning It’s nice to socialize I’m OK by myself but I’m a much better party with someone else I’m ok by myself but I’m a much better party with somebody I’m OK by myself but I’m a much better party with someone else I’m ok by myself but I’m a much better party with somebody I’m OK by myself but I’m a much better party with someone else I’m ok by myself but I’m a much better party with somebody

Friend of yesterday 04:12

And I can’t count the times I’ve thought of you Even thought of driving out there to find ya Sometimes life gets in way of the precious things But lately you’ve been on my mind and I thought you should know Oh how the time just flies - how it slips away Remembering you my friend of yesterday I think that we’ve let it go far too long We have to make the time before it’s gone There was the time I lost the keys to that old car of mine And we spent half the night just trying find em We were hoping to take some girls out at the county fair But they were nowhere to be found So we went anyway Oh how the time just flies - how it slips away Remembering you my friend of yesterday I think that we’ve let it go far too long We have to make the time before it’s gone I’m reaching out to find you Can’t wait another day Turning back the hands of time I wish there was a way Oh how the time just flies - how it slips away Remembering you my friend of yesterday I think that we’ve let it go far too long We have to make the time before it’s gone Oh how the time just flies - how it slips away Remembering you my friend of yesterday I think that we’ve let it go far too long We have to make the time before it’s gone

We should go driving cause I’m dying to get lost I’ll fill the tank and we’ll be out of here in twenty It’s hard to say if we will turn around at all I think we’ll go until we run straight out of money Heading out on this epic journey Where it ends a mystery Heart in hand Blood is pumping We control our destiny We could pretend that we have nothing left at home I think we’ll leave it all behind and just start running Anything we need I will get at grab and go Fill up the back we’ll and be out of here with plenty Heading out on this epic journey Where it leads a mystery Heart in hand Blood is pumping We control our destiny Heading out on this epic journey Where it leads a mystery Heart in hand Blood is pumping We control our destiny Heading out on this epic journey Where it leads a mystery Heart in hand Blood is pumping We control our destiny

Good intentions 03:36

That old barn is still standing in the back yard Faded and worn like the hand of my grandpa Hasn’t seen a coat of paint since ‘58 At least that what they used to say Now the board and baton’s cracking and splitting And the rain drips through it like an old man pissing Might make you laugh saying that way But they want to tear it down cause they’re building a highway It took a whole town full of good intentions The type of folks that were kind and willing To raise that roof and build that barn That’s a monument there in my back yard They ain’t got hope in hell in winning Daddy died in that barn and I’ll be right there with him With my shotgun loaded in the candle light I’ll hear them coming, I’ll be up all night I remember as a kid I would play in the hay loft Finding hidden treasures that were buried and long lost When I was 13, I first got kissed In was in that old barn and it was right on the lips Now many years have gone since momma sold the stock off Cause Daddy was gone and I was just a young buck Through the trying times and the crazy hurtin We made it through, yeah, we made it work It took a whole town full of good intentions The type of folks that were kind and willing To raise that roof and build that barn That’s a monument there in my back yard They ain’t got hope in hell in winning Daddy died in that barn and I’ll be right there with him With my shotgun loaded in the candle light I’ll hear them coming, I’ll be up all night It took a whole town full of good intentions The type of folks that were kind and willing To raise that roof and build that barn That’s a monument there in my back yard They ain’t got hope in hell in winning Daddy died in that barn and I’ll be right there with him With my shotgun loaded in the candle light I’ll hear them coming, I’ll be up all night

Fucked up Saturday night 03:21

Oh Man we got a little bit Fucked up Saturday night It was a little too much Outside until the morning it was quarter past five And then we watched the sun come up We had a party everybody was invited you were there greeting all the guests I had my guitar and my song book beside me Only Playing just the very best got so excited when our friends started singing And clapping in time - I guess You got up dancing on the picnic table And you never got down to rest That’s how we have ourselves a time Oh Man we got a little bit Fucked up Saturday night It was a little too much Outside until the morning it was quarter past five And then we watched the sun come up My head was ringing at 8 am And the back yard completely wrecked Nobody moving they were sleeping on the lawn Everybody was a total mess Looked like a scene from some teenage movie But everybody was still dressed don’t think we let it get too out of control And I can still remember most of it That’s how we have ourselves a time Oh Man we got a little bit Fucked up Saturday night It was a little too much Outside until the morning it was quarter past five And then we watched the sun come up Oh Man we got a little bit Fucked up Saturday night It was a little too much Outside until the morning it was quarter past five And then we watched the sun come up

It’s only Tuesday and I’m dead on my feet No days off this week And I don’t normally mind the heat But it’s gotta be 100 degrees Here I am in overdrive Gotta get out and feel alive Want to live the simple life Let’s go watch the stars tonight In a perfect world I’d have a 3-day week And I’d take a 4-day rest Don’t like complaining but it seems to me They’re getting more for less Here I am in overdrive Gotta get out and feel alive Want to live the simple life Let’s go watch the stars tonight Whoo man it would sure be neat chillin out on the beach spark a fire when evening comes Wouldn’t that be sweet Here I am in overdrive Gotta get out and feel alive Want to live the simple life Let’s go watch the stars tonight Sunday morning and I’m feeling weak Gotta call the doc It’s an emergency situation, Please! Gotta take the next week off Here I am in overdrive Gotta get out and feel alive Want to live the simple life Let’s go watch the stars tonight

God as my witness 03:29

She was just about seventeen When she hit the streets She had to do what she did If you know what I mean ‘cause life at home was not about to change And she couldn’t live that way There was nothing no one could say To make her stay She said Forgive me Jesus for what I have done But God as my witness I had to run Momma said move along girl And try and move up in this world It’s time to make your stand But don’t bite the hand that feeds Stand tall and proud Oh and never cry out loud Keep a smile on your face Even when you’re in disgrace Gorgive me Jesus for what I have done But God as my witness I had to run And in the night she crys out Good lord please help me now Forgive me Jesus for what I have done But God as my witness I had to run Forgive me Jesus for what I have done But God as my witness I had to run

No doubt I'm gonna miss you a little bit But it’s grown so tired all of this created such a mess girl you must admit And you already know that I'm done with it Yeah! I'd rather be flat broke Stuck in the cold Than waste my time Growing old with you Goodbye baby Goodbye There’s no use singing those heartbreak blues Goodbye baby goodbye Got nothing left Nothing to lose There’s nothing to talk about, It’s been done No need to scream and shout just move along I guarantee I won’t be home later on I hope you’ll be packing up while I’m gone Yeah! I'd rather be flat broke Stuck in the cold Then waste my time Growing old with you Goodbye baby Goodbye There’s no use singing those heartbreak blues Goodbye baby goodbye Got nothing left Nothing to lose I'd rather be flat broke Stuck in the cold Than waste my time Growing old with you Goodbye baby Goodbye There’s no use singing those heartbreak blues Goodbye baby goodbye Got nothing left Nothing to lose

Running from yourself 03:03
lyrics

So tell me really what have you been doing lately? Have you been sitting on a shelf? Have you awakened from a dream at night? Running from yourself? You’ve had so many chances And you know you’ve thrown them all away Many fine things many midnight romances And many real hard drinking days. And should you ever come to the conclusion That you’re not the one to blame Search yourself for the answer and know you’ll have to face the shame So tell me really what have you been doing lately? Have you been sitting on a shelf? Have you awakened from a dream at night? Running from yourself? Yeah tell me really what have you been doing lately? Have you been sitting on a shelf? Have you awoken from a dream at night? Running from yourself? I guess the news is you’ve been hiding Yes, you’ve locked yourself away You can’t find the strength to break your defenses? These are real hard thinking days And if you come to the resolution And you know you’re the one to blame You’ll find the only answer Healing comes after pain So tell me really what have you been doing lately? Have you been sitting on a shelf? Have you awoken from a dream at night? Running from yourself? Yeah, tell me really what have you been doing lately? Have you been sitting on a shelf? Have you awoken from a dream at night? Running from yourself? You’re running from yourself Quit running from yourself

Let nothing get you down You could climb the highest mountain Take some time BELIEVE Let nothing get you down You could climb the highest mountain Take some time just breath And whatever it is know that you can count on me never forget you can always count on me And whatever it is know that you can count on me

Try to walk the edge and not fall off And it’s a long way down so I’m calling you out Keep me from falling, failing and longing No need to do this again fixing yesterday I’ve made my mistakes and I’m living with them so anyway It’s a shot in the dark this future thing Patiently waiting for something I need the change I really need the change Try to walk the edge and not fall off Cause it’s a long way down so I’m calling you out Keep me from falling, failing and longing I’m taking my time in this second phase I sleep through these days and I awake most of the nights But anyways It’s all in my mind and it’s hard to change It seems so simple but It’s so very strange It’s very strange Try to walk the edge and not fall off And it’s a long way down so I’m calling you out Keep me from falling, failing and longing It’s a part of me now and I’ve lost the rage No more chasing the nights or wasting the days not everyday in a new state of mind, I choose not to change and it can be very cold but I feel the flame there’s still a flame Try to walk the edge and not fall off And it’s a long way down so I’m calling you out Keep me from falling, failing and longing Try to walk the edge and not fall off And it’s a long way down so I’m calling you out Keep me from falling, failing and longing
