Higher Ground

Teacher used to say, "Boy, pay attention or you’ll never make it out of this town"
Daddy used to say, "Son, when you gonna get a job and quit messing around?"
I guess some live and die by nine-to-five
But I ain't trying to just get by
Cus if we only got a hundred years tops
In this American Dream we got, boy, best believe
You can find me
Rolling like a stone
Blowing in the wind
Down some highway
Like smoke in the air on a Colorado breeze
Don’t know how to come down
I'm doing fine with my head in the clouds
And these boots planted on some higher ground
Call me black sheep, hippie, even modern-day gypsy
I never been in one place long enough for anyone to miss me
Running down the road, trying to loosen my load
A hundred miles 'til New Mexico
Me, myself, and a one-man caravan
Killing nothin but time, leaving nothing but tracks
You can find me
Rolling like a stone
Blowing in the wind
Down some highway
Like smoke in the air on a Colorado breeze
Don’t know how to come down
I'm doing fine with my head in the clouds
And these boots planted on some higher ground
Well, there's a little more green in my smoke
A little more rock in my roll
A little more than that same old, same old
You can find me
Rolling like a stone
Blowing in the wind
Down some highway
Like smoke in the air on a Colorado breeze
Don’t know how to come down
I'm doing fine with my head in the clouds
And these boots planted on some higher ground
Higher ground
And these boots
Lord, these boots
Planted on some higher ground

Forget For a While

We both say we never do this kinda thing
But here we are, nothing between us but the dark
I can't see your eyes, but I feel your lips
You're kissing me like it's something you've missed
Well girl, don't stop, cus I miss it too
It ain't wrong, it ain't right, it's just nothing
Nothing left to lose
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
Promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
We got one thing in common, and it ain't chemistry
It's a painted on smile- falling apart underneath
They say give it time, it'll get better
I don't know about you but I'm tired of waiting on forever
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
Promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
And forget for a while
In the morning, I'll be sleeping
You won't leave a note
Just a kiss before you go...
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
Promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while

It Is What It Is

We’ve been trying to make this work for way too long
We’ve stolen better back from worse
And turn right back into wrong
And when it’s good, there ain’t no coming down
But maybe good just ain't enough to keep us together now
Girl, it is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t
We are who we are, and we ain’t gonna change
Maybe we could make it
But this kind of situation don’t get fixed with a kiss
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you, girl
It is what it is
‘Meant to be’ ain’t supposed to be this damn hard
We’re a couple broken hearts just stumbling in the dark
You and me on the edge of falling apart
Honey, God only knows how we let it get this far, but…
It is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t
We are who we are, and we ain’t gonna change
Maybe we could make it
But this kind of situation don’t get fixed with a kiss
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you, girl
It is what it is
I can't quit and I can't stay
And I'm running low on faith
Girl, tell me what to do
How can I get over you when...
It is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t
We are who we are, but something’s gotta change
Maybe we could make it but this kind of situation
Don’t get fixed with a kiss
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you
Girl, it is what it is
I can’t love you and I can’t leave you
It is what it is
I wanna love you and I wanna leave you
It is what it is

Here We Go Again

Ain’t the birds outside the window singing
It sure ain’t the morning sun sneaking in
All it takes is that first touch of your skin
And here we go again
You'd think by now I ’d be used to loving you
And this life’s as good as it's gonna get
Then it’s one look in those eyes made of every shade of blue
Baby, here we go again
Catching myself trying to catch every breath
Guess I never been this close to heaven
And that one millionth kiss sixty years in
I’ll be thinking
Here we go again
Never been more jealous of a perfume or a dress
Every second I ain’t holding you's a sin
So bring it on over, cus you ain’t seen nothing yet
Baby, here we go again
Catching myself trying to catch every breath
Guess I never been this close to heaven
And that one millionth kiss sixty years in
I’ll be thinking
Here we go again

Everything To Lose

Couldn’t tie down my kinda reckless
Born to run with no direction
A where-the-wind-blows, anything goes kinda fool
Making a habit of leaving
Never having that much worth keeping
They say you know when you see it, and as soon as I found you I knew
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t gotcha baby
Knew it from that first kiss that up and saved me
And ever since I been holding on tight
Instead of running, holding on for dear life
You showed this wild man a little wild love
I’ll spend my life showing you what I’m made of
Minute by minute, giving you living proof
Loving you like I got everything to lose
Every look in your eyes a reminder
Of all the roads it took me to find ya
Lonely bars, couple broken hearts, few wasted years, then back-to-the-start's
Step by step learning a thing or two
If I know one thing's true...
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t gotcha baby
Knew it from that first kiss that up and saved me
And ever since I been holding on tight
Instead of running, holding on for dear life
You showed this wild man a little wild love
I’ll spend my life showing you what I’m made of
Minute by minute, giving you living proof
Loving you like I got everything to lose
You're my reason for breathing
What keeps this wild heart beating
My something to believe in
I guess what I mean is...
I ain’t got nothing if I ain’t gotcha baby
Knew it from that first kiss that up and saved me
And ever since I been holding on tight
Instead of running, holding on for dear life
You showed this wild man a little wild love
I’ll spend my life showing you what I’m made of
Minute by minute, giving you living proof
Loving you like I got everything to lose
