At the diner downtown old timers sit around Talk about the flood of ‘42 How they watched from higher ground, as the water took it down Like a verse from the bible come true After losing everything, you could hear the hammers ring As they built it back up again The mill wheels turned, they kneeled in church Washed of all their sins But the river...Learn More

Romeos and Casanovas Lotharios with eyes that smolder They all left you with nothing but a cloud of smoke Now here I stand just a simple man With a ten buck supermarket bouquet in my hand I see you laughing but honey this ain’t no joke [Chorus] I wanna walk all the way with you I wanna prove my love is true All the others who tried fell by the...Learn More

The days are cold The nights are long The bed’s still here But her pillow’s gone All her friends Were my friends too I lost them The day she moved This is her town, this is her town This is her town now This is her town, this is her town This is her town now It makes me wonder why I stick around It’s her town now The walls are bare In the...Learn More

I watch you go about your days In your ordinary haze Like there's nothing wrong I’m worried ‘bout our prognosis You don’t even notice We’re barely holding on to this love It used to be so strong Now I feel so all alone Wondering where we went wrong After all this time I thought maybe you could read my mind But you look at me with a stranger’s eyes...Learn More

I don’t believe in fiery furnaces Burning underground And none can tell if hell Is simply where we’re living now Who knows if there’s a golden kingdom in the clouds above Oh baby, don’t you ever doubt my love I was born to be your witness Your lover and your friend I’ve had to beg for your forgiveness And likely will again But what else can we...Learn More

The silence in this house tonight is deafening The thunderclouds above us now are threatening Go on and say it I can take it The only thing I’m afraid of is when you say nothing at all Don’t send me a sign Or make me read ‘tween the lines Scream and shout Don’t leave any doubt Come on out and tell me what you’re saying Don’t let this love get lost...Learn More

Well the sun is surely sinking down But the moon is slowly rising So this old world must still be spinning around And I still love you CHORUS: So close your eyes; You can close your eyes, it's all right I don't know no love songs And I can't sing the blues any more But I can sing this song And you can sing this song When I'm gone It won't be long...Learn More

There was a time We all watched the same screen Springsteen was mainstream Everybody had a hungry heart There was a time We weren’t rich but you could make a living A forty-hour week and a two-day weekend Could get you pretty far Was there a time Or was it only in my mind When everything seemed simpler And we all sat down for dinner every night Or...Learn More

You left a note on the counter I found it when I got home from work You only wrote a few lines But in between ‘em I could read the hurt Now it’s almost 10 And still you haven’t come home or called I’ve had nothing but time to think Staring at the clock on the kitchen wall Careless How could I be so careless Oh and I’d say a prayer if I thought it...Learn More

You’ve always walked beside me In joy and in despair Now I need something to lean on But you’re not here There’s an evil wind a-blowin’ I feel it in my bones I don’t know where I’m going or how to get back home I’ve been looking for a little kindness But it’s hard to find Looking for a little kindness And it’s hard to find these days If I could...Learn More

Stand closer to the fire Walk out on that wire Go on and climb a ladder to the stars But I only got burned And came crashing back to earth My heart ain't nothin' but a liar Buck up and be a man Go and ask her to dance Sometimes you got to gamble on desire But she waltzed right out the door Took all I had and more My heart ain't nothin' but a...Learn More

Pennies fall out of my pockets For a rich man I'll never be mistaked I seldom have a dollar in my wallet The one that I forgot on our first date So many women would've just kept walking But you stuck around and even said 'I do' I ain't a gambling man I don't believe in games of chance I must've hit the jackpot with you I must've hit the...Learn More
