What’s in a NameVerse 1What’s in a name but a man and his blamePushing it up on others what he thinks is rightWhen he is lost out in the prairies somewhere from here to YorktonAnd he cant find his damned soul and he sure won’t stop to askWhat’s in a name but a man and his shameIn the tears that he is crying when he is alone at nightChorusThat’s why I love this womanshe brings hope with her eyesAnd this load that I carry I lay outside of your door tonightVerse 2I was born of a godly manBut I was raised by a woman’s handAnd together they brought me here to stand before you nowWhat’s in a name but a man and his childhood gamesChanging it all away seeking his fortune and fameBut now I’m at the next level and I hope she can handleWhat i am laying down at this table as I ante upChorusThat’s why I love this womanshe brings hope with her eyesAnd this load that I carry I lay outside of your door tonightVerse 3What’s in a name but a man and his fragile frameBreaking in all the places that he knew they wouldBut she is a woman that comforts meAnd she has brought me down to me kneesShe has mended this broken heart and shed a light for me to seeChorusThat’s why I love this womanshe brings hope with her eyesAnd this load that I carry I lay outside of your door tonightVerse 4 and endWhat’s in a name when a man turns the pageStarts from the bottom and climbs up To take that leap of faith again

Had I PaidVerse 1I rolled out of my 20‘s Rolling on through m 30’s Got 40’s ahead of me down the road Got to get there tonight Some say “you got to use up your day light Before it goes out for good.”Verse 2I hope when I am older man I ain’t dreaming the same story Of holding this old guitar without no strings. Cause I’m freezing up in my hotel Feeling all the love tell the ones I belong to That I ain’t treating them rightChorusAll my lifeI’ve been afraidMaybe I’d be better offHad I paidVerse 3This fighting going on in my head Toss and turning me late in bed A rest is what I really long for But she stands up in my way Her passion card hits my face And I go down again for the countVerse 4But I know I’ve seen this scene before And the character longs for more Punishment abuse and attack of the heart I’m gonna get back up on the stage again I’m gonna be the one you want to hear again There’s a debt I owe a man in my pastChorusAll my lifeI’ve been afraidMaybe I’d be better offHad I paidSolo Section (guitar)Verse 5I am a thief I’ve stolen everything Your love your breath your open wind It was me who put that hole in your side But I believe that there is an end for me In love’s open arms of sanctity One day I’ll be bound HeavenChorusAll my lifeI’ve been afraidMaybe I’d be better offHad I paid

Going down to MexicoVerse1I had all of my pictures in placeI had all of her signatures erasedI was going to be a free manGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundVerse 2Here I go leaving from the back door‘Cause I never could get through the front doorShe had me running for the dollarsGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundChorusI’m gonna leave in the darkest deepest nightThis deserter has a cold and vicious snake biteAnd as a bandit going to steel as I runTaking from everyoneAnd everyone tells me that the night is getting darker stillAlrightBridge VerseYa here I goGoing down to MexicoGot my bags packed and lord I’m runningGoing to get some of that Mexican sunVerse 3But I’m leaving my lover’s embraceYou know her lines are getting too hard to traceAnd she’s gone off looking for a new worldAnd I’m...Going down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundVerse 4I had all of my visions in placeBut you changed me took all of my dreams and replaced ‘emNow I’m walking down a new roadGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundChorusI’m gonna leave in the darkest deepest nightThis deserter has a cold and vicious snake biteAnd as a bandit going to steel as I runTaking from everyoneAnd everyone tells me that the night keeps getting darker stillJust when will I see the lightWhen will I see the morningJust when will I see the lightGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing down to Mexico where I can’t be foundGoing Down to Mexico gonna get out of this town

Big City DreamsVerse 1Big city dreams go floating awayâ€¨Down the river to somewhere elseâ€¨Got no boat got no moneyâ€¨This flood has taken my last hopeâ€¨Chorus‘Cause I’ve burned all of my bridgesâ€¨Left my liver down there in stitchesâ€¨And I feel like heading back down to the harborâ€¨Get my mind back on cookingâ€¨Maybe a job down in the cityâ€¨I bet it will be better this time around on the lineVerse 2Last time that I checked my stock had leveled offâ€¨Maybe it’s time that I sellâ€¨Thought to myself That I would go try another townâ€¨Bring my song and a story to tellChorusThat I burned all of my bridgesâ€¨And left my liver down in stitchesâ€¨And I lied to all of my very best friendsâ€¨Now my days have all dissolvedâ€¨Into clouds in high windsâ€¨And by the time I get back down to the people who love meâ€¨They say that it is all worth another tryâ€¨You just got to stand in truth on this earthâ€¨And I know you’re going to find it outâ€¨You are going to find yourselfâ€¨BridgeCause in the pride we all must come cleanVerse 3I heard it somewhere beforeâ€¨Pretty sure my Grandma she told me â€¨She said “Son it’s people you need in this lifeâ€¨You’ve got to have faithâ€¨In knowing that you will come out on topâ€¨But be patient and in one of your daysâ€¨ChorusWhen you have burned all of your bridgesâ€¨And left your liver down in stitchesâ€¨And feel yourself heading down the darkest alleyâ€¨Know that there is light up aheadâ€¨Just take my hand insteadâ€¨And we’ll find all the love that you need boyâ€¨All the love in a familyBridgeAnd you’re gonna fly from the ground on up childâ€¨

Waiting on YouWaiting on youThinking of the untrueWhat it is That I have to let go ofI’ve been pitched to the groundUnaware of what I have foundLost in a time and a spaceWith a place I can’t get tooLook what I have becomeA lier and a bumI had everythingBut I had loveSo I drank Honey I criedI could have committed suicideI just kept saying to myselfWhat goes around Always comes aroundBut I feel like I may never knowCause by the time that I’ve fadedYou’ll have lived long past my graveAnd you’ll be wishing that youNever did knowSuch a slimeSuch bad luckSuch a clutz And Man what a fuckHe was good in the lipsBut that was all that he knewLook what I have becomeA lier and a bumI had everythingBut I had lovelove love love

RoseCold air come through the screen on a cold November nightMade everything around them stand stillMaybe they won’t see if we don’t stare too muchIt just hurts to see you leave without the taste of your last touchWe were down in the valley and sun was in the skyWe were left there to dance where no one can spy And no need for the past and no need for the bonesYou got to release all of your guilt and throw down them stonesYou gotta release all of your guilt and throw down them stonesThe first time I laid eyes on my rose in the thornsWas in the early morning afterAnd hope sounded sharp in my ear As I knelt down to pick up my roseThe music began to play as the curtain was torn in twoThe players took the stage in an act they could not refuseLove began to fall down upon themAs their truths stepped forth to haunt them againWhy does our history always seem to ail usIt’s just like old pictures and relics underneath the stairs collecting dustIt’s you and me we got to keep paceBecause it’s rivers and floods that we are going to faceBut without fear we will overcomeAll the jealous eyes and the devils funThe less that you take and the more that you giveI love who I have the life that they liveSo no more will I search and no need to move onI’ve picked up my rose from beneath the thornsI’ve picked up my rose from beneath the thorns

Go On HomeGot caught on the corner. I got taxed for lighting one upI got one more ticket here for nothing got a no show here right now I got a no show here in this townNow I said it one million and I will say it againIf I keep on believing all of your lies and deceiving all of your lyingI will likely wind up in jail or worse down deep in the groundAnd never will I see the land that was promised to me it was promised to meMother won’t you help meNo love I can findHeal me good fatherIn spirit and mindAnd he said son you got to come on homeCome on homeCome on home home homeCome on homeI was once in the garden I was free to take partI was going to wrestle out all of the weedsBut somehow I was holding on too tightI was holding on too tightAnd there still burns a flame full of wickedness and painAnd I lie awake every night just praying for it to rainPraying for it rainMother won’t you help meNo love I can findHeal me good fatherIn spirit and mindAnd he said son you got to come on homeCome on homeCome on home home homeCome on homeI have travelled through the valley through all the death and sacrificeTrying to get on back to my safe houseSolid ground would be nice solid ground would be niceShe said don’t wait for it to happen boy all over nightYou gotta go on out and get it son you got wake up and see the lightWake up and see the lightMother won’t you help meNo love I can findHeal me good fatherIn spirit and mindAnd he said son you got to come on homeCome on homeCome on home home homeCome on home

Eastern BreezeI was invited to a partyIt was something about city hallI heard people were blowing glass and pipes up in the stallsI was three days on nothingIt was a new town in a new placeAnd only friendly faces in my sightsAll singingDon’t worry to much about all the drinking‘Cause the wind is going to rip right through what you’re wearing anywayAnd you got to find a honey bear and get them home soonBecause baby the beds here are so coldNow all the prairie girls they be smilingAnd they smile and smile and smileAnd I smile back ‘cause that’s all that I dare so farWell I came out here from the eastAnd I know now why they call this placePure beauty under a sky so fineAnd they singDon’t worry to much about all the drinking‘Cause the wind is going to rip right through what you’re wearing anywayAnd you got to find a honey bear and get them home soonBecause baby the beds here are so coldI was out back talking to this guy who was this town downAnd I said ‘man you know I’ve been down but I’ve been around and I got to say.That although this place can be hard. You got to stand strong you got to perservereAnd I know there’s going to be a future whiter then all the Winnipeg snow.’He saidDon’t worry to much about all the drinking‘Cause the wind is going to rip right through what you’re wearing anywayAnd you got to find a honey bear and get them home soonBecause baby the beds here are so coldNow baby baby baby pleaseI am your eastern breeze and I am ready to take you awayNow baby baby baby pleaseI am you most easternly breezeAnd I am ready to take on to places you never ever been before

Come MorningCome morning the sun will come shining on throughWe’re going to wake up make coffee and start all over anewLast night we were having it out we had a trip to the mental wardTrying to piece it together with a scream and a yellAnd just end it with the slam of the doorYou say you want to analyze and pick it apart But you bring a lot of smoke to the fireIt’s a shame we had to end it this wayWe shot off early and left no chance for the heartCome morning the sun will come shining on throughWe’re going to wake up make coffee and start all over anewTogether we stood and together we fellAnd alone now we live our livesYou all got people to be and I have places to seeSame goals but a different priceNow we’re out on our own singing lonely songsTo people if they want to hearMaking love to the mic I remember the fightsJust wish there was a love down in hereCome morning the sun will come shining on throughWe’re going to wake up make coffee and start all over anewWhen I woke up to the light of morningI had nothing much left to sayAnd over my shoulder I could feel you growing colderI wish I had the guts to sayThat no life should be lived with decay or dispairBut it doesn’t matter what you say anywayCause I ain’t going to listen and I ain’t paying attentionThere’s just no hope in this struggle anywayCome morning the sun will come shining on throughWe’re going to wake up make coffee and start all over anewCome morning the sun will come shining on throughWe’re going to wake up make coffee and start all over anew
