Canyons 04:00
three weeks now, i laid in bed with a storm, in my chest. raised a smile, to half mast, at my very best. I've been spending, my days measuring all the canyons, that you left. throwing rocks, off of cliffs, in my head. You said yes, i said no you said stay, i said go you put your hands in the air but i was the one that pulled the trigger. I've been taking, inventory of how, we wrote our story. distant lands, memories made cut just like a blade You said yes, i said no you said stay, i said go you put your hands in the air but i was the one that pulled the trigger.

Golden Coast 03:34
California, i was dreaming golden state with golden women. I was young, seventeen eyes as big, as a apple pie. i want to go home to where i was born mountains of meat oceans of whiskey great river road, come lead me home (2x) we all sat down, around the fire night gave way to, a rooster day break. pushed the sleep, out of our eyes raspberry breeze, wild and free warm as a summer night (2x) i want to go home to where i was born mountains of meat oceans of whiskey great river road, come lead me home (2x)

1969 04:07
we can pretend to be stars tonight a thousand miles away from home on the twenty first of july TV screen 1969 Im dreaming in the day im sleeping in the night Valley low, mountains high keep your chin up boy till the day, you die. We saw a man, plant his feet shadow of the sun, making history. sudenly i was the size of pea pretty blue circle far beneath. Im dreaming in the day im sleeping in the night Valley low, mountains high keep your chin up boy till the day, you die. Gather around, put up your feet listen, closely theres a castle in the air, yellow brick road one more page, off to bed you go. Im dreaming in the day im sleeping in the night Valley low, mountains high keep your chin up boy till the day, you die.

Strangers 03:44
Our eyes crisp as a winter night all my thoughts smear the light. there was an age when my ears believed the mouths of our fathers and what they see. oh, theres an echo inside of, if we are both ganna hide can we still hold, the warmth of words? I can't go home, with no wood to burn. Have i lost head like a coin in the deep headless horseman at a costume party. I've been sinking in the circle of my friends there's a fire in my belly and smoke on my breath. oh, theres an echo inside of, if we are both ganna hide can we still hold, the warmth of words? I can't go home, with no wood to burn. I can't go home with no wood to burn.

i want to know, when you turned around was i one hundred miles, up in the clouds? funny how the photos, never change picture of a ghost, under my own name. Starring out the window, I'm captured by the frame watching my own love, drive away. search my pockets, i lost the keys if they can't be found, than I'm gone missing. i don't know, where i am going Am i on the run or am i free? I've never been proud to say I made my home in a rock and hard place. the record spinning, all the songs that we heard get me off this merry go round, so i can learn. Easy come, easy go If loving you don't cost me a penny than, I'm in trouble. I see the price, she is climbing to the sky I better grow me some wings, learn to fly. i don't know, where i am going Am i on the run or am i free? I've never been proud to say I made my home in a rock and hard place.
