All my life it’s been haunting me, it’s in my blood and it fills my dreams but I'm not afraid of livin’ anymore Hopped a flight down to PCB like some kinda redneck refugee Knew my life would change, as I stood upon that golden shore..Cause This is my paradise lazy days and summer nights Kickin’ back, There ain’t nothing any better than this life Variety’s the spice of life, change it up, take a bite I’m packing up my stuff, heading for a Southern Paradise. Almost froze to death in Idaho, it was still too cold in New Mexico Almost drowned in my own sweat in Tennessee Now my beer’s ice cold and the girls are hot, it’s the perfect place, just the right spot Not goin’ back to the cold, My blood’s too thin, Now I’m free!...cause This is my paradise lazy days and summer nights Kickin back, There ain’t nothing any better than this life Variety’s the spice of life, change it up, take a bite I’m packing up my stuff, heading for a Southern Paradise. C#m G#/C B F#/Bb A B B7/C Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey hey hey Let’s leave today while we still can get away.... Lead Chorus-1st 1/2 Breadown Na Na’s out

(F-C-G, F-C-G-Em-D, F-C-G-Em-D-F-G11-G7) He took the dog out of the house, threw his cloths out in the yard, cut up the credit cards He lit a cigarette, Pulled up a chair, put the gas can on the ground and he watched it all burn down He put the pistol in his pocket, and he turned the truck toward the town lookin for a showdown Dog was hanging out the window, by the time he tracked her down He shot her in her wedding gown (C-E7-Am-Am/G-D7/F#, C-E7-Am-Am/G-Dm7-G11-G7) Love can make you lose your mind, Oh Love can make you weep, love can make you blind Love can help you heal, Love can stop the hands of time Love can make you lose your mind The Sky lit up like a volcano, she threw her ring, slammed the car door, and put the pedal to the floor She could see the lights of Barstow ,hear that HEMI’s roaring sound Burnin up that Desert ground She saw a faint glow on the horizon, her gaze was fixed upon a sign that said Nevada State Line She was still gaining momentum, when she barreled into town to run that cheatin bastard down Chorus (B7-Em-D-C-A7-D7) Baby when you find a someone, love can make you think it will last Oh but then you crash Oh, ain’t no rhyme or reason, Love can bleed you like broken glass Lead Chorus Coda

This is a story of you and me, on a desert island surrounded by the rolling sea The winter was closing in and the rides were all shutting down We needed to get out of this sleepy boardwalk town Wind was growing colder in time Started blowing over, whispering through our conscious mind I can feel the winter crawling over me, drift across the island, to the raging sea floating toward the spring, racing toward the light We’ve got to make it through these Days of Night We learned to weather any storm, kept it together we dreamed about moving on Waiting for our lucky break, no matter how long it takes determined to get away, we had everything at stake Everything gets better in time The only thing that matters, is that you cross the finish line I can feel the winter crawling over me, drift across the island, to the raging sea floating toward the spring, racing toward the light We’ve got to make it through these Days of Night (G-D-F#sus-F#-Bm-E-Em7-A7) Baby we’re on top of the world, nothing’s gonna break us Ya know that nothing worth a damn is ever gonna come that easy But I feel it in my bones, with every little beat of my heart Lead over Verse Everything got better in time Honey all that matters, is we tore down that finish line I can feel the winter crawling over me, drift across the island, to the raging sea floating toward the spring, racing toward the light I knew we’d make it through these Days of Night

G-D/F#-C-Em-D Many times I’ve wondered, what’s become of me All My aspirations seemed to vanish in the sea The Road that I should follow is right in front of me Now I’m broke and hollow hung up in the debris F-C-A7-D7 All the weight in this world coming down on me I can’t kill this wicked thirst lord won’t ya hear my plea G-D/F#-C-C-D G-D/F#-C-C/b-Am-D7 And it’s one in the morning, two in the day, One drink in the evening to chase the blues away and I drink Many on the weekends, just to pass the time I’m one drink short of dying and I don’t seem to mind I know come monday morning I’ll awake to find I can’t recall where I’ve been since Saturday at Nine And I can’t seem to remember but I never quite forget Try to find some piece of mind but I end up with regret All alone in this world, nothing left for me I’ve been dealt a losing hand lord won’t ya set me free And it’s one in the morning, two in the day, One drink in the evening to chase the blues away and I drink Many on the weekends, just to pass the time I’m one drink short of dying and I don’t seem to mind (Bridge) Em-D-Am-D7 I’m likely to pass out right across the railroad tracks well it feels just like a freight train runnin right across my back Lead over (Prechorus) F-C-A7-D7 Chorus X2 out

You’re a big bright star that beams every hue Shining through your steel blue sea I’m a silver stream colliding with you Reflecting on me Like a song of hope I sang unto you whistle your sweet melody I’m a whirling heart lovely and new A natural harmony I just can’t help falling for you and you know that i can see baby you can’t help.... falling for me I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me Took a leap of faith, swallowed you whole Left a hopeless life elsewhere In a lucid dream where i’m in control You’re the answer to my prayer I just can’t help falling for you and you know that i can see baby you can’t help.... falling for me I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me Em Walkdown Lead (Chorus) I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me I’m falling for you, you’re falling for me

I used to think that love was easy, I used to think that life was fair I used to be so naive that I thought I could see things that just weren’t there I want to believe in something, I need to believe in truth I guess it depends how it looks at the end of all the wanderings of youth But I wanna know, why’ya so lonely But I wanna know, why’ya so Blue....... But I wanna know, why’ya angry Oh Baby Ya got so much, but It ain’t enough Ya thought you’d be something special, they taught ya to believe in yourself Ya thought you were someone who’d change the world but you’re just like everybody else You needed to find a purpose, You wanted to feel alive You tried to forget you lost your dream to the struggle of tryin to survive Chorus Lead over Chorus Now I don’t know much about contentment, But I know it’s hard to find but I hope someday it comes my way, It’d be big load off my mind Now I know you’ve got some questions, so honey get in line I guess we’re supposed to try to figure it out while we walk the earth deaf and blind But I wanna know, why am I lonely But I wanna know, why am I Blue....... But I wanna know, why am I angry Oh Baby I got so much, but It ain’t enough It ain’t enough, why am i lonely It ain’t enough, why am I Blue....... It ain’t enough, why am I angry Oh Ya know I got so much, but It ain’t enough

Confide 04:42
Confide Open E, Capo 2nd Fret It had been a long long time since she gave a man her number He could hear the babies cry, in the background when he phoned her Could there be a chance that she’d find something to make her dream again? She was always a head turner and the boys all fell before her When she finally gave her heart all she got was a cold shoulder He went to work one day and he up and ran away, 2 babies in her arms And a stack of bills she couldn’t pay (Chorus) Confide in me lady, You inspire me baby open up Let me inside of you Conspire with me Lady, Don’t ya Tell me Maybe, let the flow of hope Fill that void in you (-Maj7-Minor thing-) Under the frozen sky that meets the fury of the mountains He made her feel alive from the rush of the endorphins Could it be she finally tasted how love’s supposed to be? All the darkness of the past she’d finally put behind her And if this romance can eclipse the past and make it seem like just a blur She’ll take solace in the warm embrace he gives her everyday, with 2 babies in her arms And a new one on the way (Chorus) (-May7-Minor Thing-) (Bridge) Oh when you beat the odds and you teach yourself to win That’s where you’ll find your strength again Turn your backward eyes to the road that lies ahead Tomorrow is on the horizon and the past is Dead…. (Chorus-out)

(C-C/B-AmX2-Am-G-F-F/E-Dm-Cadd9-G-G/F-Em7add11-Dm-Dm-G) Think I’ll write you a song, hope it makes you sing along If I could sooth your weary heart, could it last forever So I’ll keep strumming away. till I ain’t got nothing left to say If songs could really fill the world with joy and laughter Would it really change your mind (F-G-Am-Am-G-F-G7-C-C7-F-G-Am-G-F-Dm-G7) If I could sing the world a song forget about who’s right or wrong I’d sing a melody so clear and strong Everyone would sing along So I’ll dream of a time, there’s no more dividing lines If the lines I sing are true they’ll ring forever I’ll keep moving ahead up where only angels tread High above the silver clouds and the stormy weather With voice that fills the sky If I could sing the world a song forget about who’s right or wrong I’d sing a melody so clear and strong Everyone would sing along (E7-F-C-E7-Am-G-D/F#-F-D7-G7) I’d wrap my arms around you, let the melodies surround you we could come together through a song Blanket the whole world in harmony I give you my love and then you give back to me Lead over Verse If I could sing the world a song forget about who’s right or wrong I’d sing a melody so clear and strong Everyone would sing along Tag- I’d spin a melody so clear and strong Everyone would sing along Think I’ll Write the World a Song.

Warrior 03:42
Intro: I was only four years old at the end of Vietnam My uncle had done four tours there and came back a different man I roamed around in Camouflage, couldn’t wait till I was old enough Till I could prove that I was tough ,to wear that green and tan and be a (Chorus) Warrior..Long as heaven shines her light, I will stand tall Warrior..I step into the great unknown , till the spirit comes to to take me home Intro (E-F#m-A-B) I jumped into Panama when I was just 18 8 months in the Army, I was scared and pretty green Then I spent some time in the first Gulf war, I knew what I was fighting for I saw things different then before, I was young and lean and mean (Chorus) Lead (over Chorus) Breakdown over Intro progression We landed in Afghanistan on the fourth of July Rollin down the same road I’d been down so many times My boys in front and behind me, we’re closer then a family There’s no place that I’d rather be, then under that Red Sky Chorus X 2 Intro-out...Warior vamp etc

Fmaj7 C Em F F G Am7 D7sus4 G She said there’s got to be more as she threw open the door and walked right outta my life Grabbed my blue swede shoes and started singing the blues everywhere and every night I felt like a grifter or a high plains drifter in an old John Ford Movie Till one gray day I let it all slip away and crashed my chevy right into the Levy (Chorus) Fmaj7 C Am G Fmaj7 C/E D7sus4 Bbsus2 Dm7 G7sus4 And the songs that were sung are still fresh on our tongue As a Caribbean Sunrise Naive and bold, said we’d never grow old, Had stars shining in our eyes Oh but it’s all a part of the story of our lives Headed out to LA in my old Chevrolet, cause that’s where stories are told But they’d taken the gold from the yellow brick road Now it was crumbling down and old But I stumbled on, on the wings of a song that my gu’itar tore apart I kept spinning my wheels so I just couldn’t feel The big black hole I Had in my heart And the songs that were sung are still fresh on our tongue As a Caribbean Sunrise Naive and bold, said we’d never grow old, Had stars shining in our eyes Oh but it’s all a part of the story of our lives Then my luck began to turn, my big frown turned upside down Guess an old dog can still learn, as long as this old world keeps whirlin’ Round

Young Love 02:54
VERSE 1 Savannah’s been my sweetheart since I was ten years old She’d wear my t-shirt walkin’ back from the swimming hole One day she snuck up and kissed me right on my left cheek And a swarm of butterflies started flutterin’ down in my knees That’s how Adam must of felt first time he kissed Eve CHORUS Young love is old as time Boy meets girl and fireworks fly Nothing’s changed since the first kiss lit up the sky Eighteen or eighty we still go crazy for young love VERSE 2 Seven summers later, I was bailing grandpa’s hay My little country angel brought me fresh squeezed lemonade Savannah in her sundress was a heavenly sight I said baby let’s hit the swimmin’ hole tonight You and me makin’ ripples in the pale moonlight CHORUS Young love is old as time Boy meets girl and fireworks fly Nothing’s changed since the first kiss lit up the sky Eighteen or eighty we still go crazy for young love Bridge A E G/D B7 Savannah and I muddy up the creek every chance we can Laughin’ and splashin’ like little kids runnin’ holdin’ hands LEAD Savannah took my last name seven years ago this june now were raisin' a little hellion high steppin' in daddy's boots I watched him pluckin' daisies she loves me she loves me not he's got a crush on a pretty red head who lives just down the block I saw him kiss her on the cheek man that turned back the clock   CHORUS Young love is old as time Boy meets girl and fireworks fly Nothing’s changed since the first kiss lit up the sky Eighteen or eighty we still go crazy for young love
