MISSING YOU TONIGHT
V1
I blame it on that sad country song
That got me thinking ‘bout you again
I spent so long doing all I could
To keep those thoughts of you from creepin in
V2
Cause that heartache proved more than I could take
Everyday I would miss you so much
So I made up my mind to forget you in time
I guess it eventually took
CHORUS
These days I’d say I get a long without thinking that much about you
But sometimes there’s something that breaks down the walls and those memories flood through
But somehow the pain feels right
So I’m gonna shed some tears for a while
And just spend some time missing you tonight
V3
Well it goes to show you never get over
Anybody that you truly love
You just hope down the line any sort of reminder
Will someday be kinder than it was
CHORUS
BRIDGE
It’s a shame the only way I can get to you these days
Is to break down and cry like a baby, baby
CHORUS

FOLLOWING THE SONG
V1
I drove a hundred miles with my guitar beside me
For a little crowd but I think they liked what I was sayin
V2
And I'd drive a thousand more for that chance to be heard
That would make it worth all the heart I put into these songs
CHORUS
Now that the money's all gone I guess I'm in it for love
Because I don't think they'll hear my voice on the radio
High hopes have come and gone and still I'm out here moving along
Just following the song wherever it's going
V3
Well I ain't changing the world with the wit of my words
I'm just lending my thoughts to who I come across one by one
V4
So I hope I make you smile or bring a tear to your eye
Hell I just hope you feel something real for a little while
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And every now and then someone still tells me I might make it
I just say "thank you, that's too kind”
I'll take whatever comes my way but all I'm looking for these days is another line
CHORUS

Toil And Trouble

TOIL & TROUBLE
V1
I used to talk to God in what I thought was some kind of confidence
But I swear that lately the devil must be right there listening in
V2
Cause everywhere I go you know that I see evidence of him
Making damn sure nothing in this life comes easy again
CHORUS
The price of life is toil and trouble and money cannot buy you’re way out
You can try to outrun the struggle but it’s got your number
And in time it’ll run you down
V3
And I used to take the high road thinking I could rise above the pain below
Until I finally figured out getting high don’t keep the pain from coming round
BRIDGE
Maybe God’s giving change for the due’s I’ve been paying
I’ll add it up and lay some money down
On a life of joy and ease that’s so far escaped me
Even though I know that can’t hang around
CHORUS
V3
So I like to think despite all the hurt and all the strife
there’s a reason there’s no easy way through life
If it’s true what they say if I’m not dead then I’m still playing
And somehow end up stronger for the fight

Not Fighting

Not Fighting
V1
We’re not fighting anymore, no screaming no holes through the door
And any words of regret have long since been met with hardly any words at all
V2
And the tears don’t fall like they used to no the pain for the most part’s subdued
It ain’t the hurtin we had but it’s a new kind of sad we’re barely making it through
CHORUS
We just move peacefully by one another
Not so much as a kiss, not so much as a touch
The years have slowly mad acquaintances out of lovers
But we’re not fighting anymore
V3
We once could’ve burned down our house but those fires of love have burned out
Not you’d be hard pressed to even light a candle with any embers left on the ground
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Everyday there’s a little less on the line as we get further from the fight
CHORUS

LINES IN THE WATER
V1
Don’t take this the wrong way but loving you’s the hardest thing
I’ve ever wanted to do
V2
Cause not a day slides by with any ease, oh but there is not a day
I’d rather live without you
CHORUS
They didn’t tell us it would be hard when we got started
But I don’t think we heard anything but our hearts
Every misstep seemed to take us farther
And the pain seemed to fade like a line in the water
V3
We’ve seen some things that we don’t wanna see again
And we’ve watched them take so many others down
V4
But somehow through the storms we’ve kept our heads
Above the swells that kept rolling in
And now we find our feet on solid ground
Bridge
Watch it fade away, watch it fade away, watch it fade away
CHORUS

THE ROAD
V1
Lately waking up it's hard to know what town I'm in
I'm moving at the mercy of whatever pays the bills
The days are long and hard the nights as lonesome as they sound
Yes bartender I think I'll have one more round
CHORUS
Cause lately I guess I am mostly missed
Just a distant voice to my wife and kids
So each day I pray good memories will abide while I am gone
Until the road leads me to my broken home
V2
I've thought about gettin out
Don't you know that I would
If I could find a better way to make these ends meet up
But I've been round long enough to know there ain't no easy road
So I make my peace with one more night away
CHORUS
