It's the stones I skipped

the whiskey, the roads I took

the bridges I burn, the woman

that couldnt stand my outlaw,

quick draw ways. My friends

when I was down and out.

It was there faith not my doubt

Got me this far, made me tough,

Taught me to saddle up and reload....Yeehaw

Hometowns are overrated anyway,

I can go anywhere anytime I please.

Im not tied down or hitched to a thing,

me and my horse we roam free.

We can ride a country mile or sleep beneath the stars. I travel light just

Me and my guitar

I left my heart like a lovers note,

by the stove where we first kissed.

you said some things you didnt mean

but I tend to lean, I tend to fall for

daisy dukes, boots, a hat perched low,

Is my stuff still collecting dust from the

night you said goodbye. I know I said I'd swing by, but time just flies and bucks like

a bronco, so I just grip and rip and...

Yeehaw

Im riding this horse down main street.

I just had to see where I use to raise hell

with all my friends that will never leave

this one horse, one light, one road out...

Hometowns are overrated anyway,

I can go anywhere anytime I please.

I'm not tied down or hitched to a damn thing, me and my horse we roam free.

We can ride a country mile or Sleep beneath the stars. We travel light just

My dreams and this guitar.

I dont really wanna leave. Some folks here are more like blood than my kin, more like family than I deserve, cause I was born with gasoline, six shooten, bank robbing drug dealing, gypsy soul genes, but they dont make or break me, cause I tend to saddle up and reload better than most when I fall...Yeehaw

Hometowns are overrated anyway,

I can go anywhere, anytime I please.

I'm not tied down or hitched to a damn thing. Me and my horse, we roam free.

We can ride a country mile or sleep beneath the stars. I travel light all I need

Are my songs and this guitar...

Yeehaw

Alone

i thought

the strange word went through my mind

im so alone

i realize

as the night goes on

i am alone

as I wish for someone

i am alone

As i try to distract myself

with fun trips and activities

i am alone

i used to think

i didn’t need friends

until i got one

and then lost her

did I realize what it felt

to

be

alone

Long ago, while we were living separate lives we both suffered through our own personal hells. We were handed the same fate. The same fate that brought us together 9 years later, within a murderous flashback rage, would destroy everything we ever cherished.  I stood helpless before you, my caring, worried stare locked to your cold, empty eyes that glared straight through me. Your forearm pressed tightly against my throat, your bicept firmly clenching the back of my neck creating a deadly vice.  Every breath I struggled for was  bound within your tremendous strength fueled only by your own pure terror.  6 times that night, you looked at me, but you didn’t see your best friend, within your minds sick game you relived the war, an Afghan soldier stood in my place. Without a second thought, or a moments doubt, I graciously, respectfully and honourably conceded my life to you and for you! I only have 1 life left to live, and yes this life too is already being giving up for yours. Even though you’ve since walked away, and now my mere existence is something you refuse to acknowledge,  your empty promises of eternal friendship, and your  support along my way.  Each day starts, within the game my mind continuously plays,  you and I stand face to face. I take a deep breath, and think to myself only 19 more times today, until the never ending replay that is featured in my dreams starts again tonight. I’m barely surviving in a hell that no one understands. The phrases “let it go and don’t dwell on the past” make my blood boil. “He tried to kill you and then just walked away,  he’s not worth protecting, you should be thankful he’s gone.”   I will live out this life that is worse than any hell, but there is no living for me to do all I can do is allow my body exist. My one last life is already yours, I will never betray you, you know my word is my bond, my lips are sealed, your road to recovery is worth it all.  If I had to do it over, there isn’t a single thing I would change because to me, YOU are more than worth all my 7 lives!

Little ballads, trembling,

To sing. Your disguise,

Both beautiful and kind,

That blue in your eyes.

Ceiling like a greenhouse,

The sun’s in the sky.

But I can’t help but look,

At that blue in your eyes.

You’re open-shouldered, out

For a smoke. As I

Recycled old cans,

Jus’ watchin’ your hair,

By the window-glass doors.

You gave your verse and I

Gave mine. Delicate,

Past words of suff’ring,

Sad-faced but fine.

Soft voices, softer still,

You waved to me goodbye,

Do you remember those fogged street-lights?

How that blue swarmed in her eyes?

When loud moonlight pushed down,

Like the rubble of the sky,

I had to find my own way back.

Won’t you tell me I’m better than Jack?

I don’t know how to say it,

Don’t know if it’s wise,

I want to write when I’m near you,

Near that blue in your eyes.

Busy days, quiet days,

Tables one through three.

Will our story be done,

When I graduate?

Me’n my lacklustre words,

Don’t know if we’re bi,

This the last time I’ll write,

’Bout that blue in your eyes.
