Feelin' What I'm Feelin'
04:10

I’m tired of being someone else’s marionette
If you cut my strings we can leave and forget
All the lines we memorized and write our own script
The mischief in your eyes says it’s worth the risk
I’m asking are you feeling what I’m feeling
I’m asking are you feeling what I’m feeling
Are you dancing with the devil on the ceiling
Are you wide awake, but wonder if you’re dreaming
You’ve planted dark desires inside my mind
With Whispers of tall tales I’d love to unwind
While our shadows dance in the moonlight on the wall
Will you go with me and forsake it all
I’m asking are you feeling what I’m feeling
I’m asking are you feeling what I’m feeling
Are you dancing with the devil on the ceiling
Are you wide awake, but wonder if you’re dreaming
I’m drinking potion from your well enjoying the high
Where trees are rooted upside down from clouds in the sky
My Illusions and delusions are both intertwined
You unravel me leaving nothing else behind
I’m asking are you feeling what I’m feeling
I’m asking are you feeling what I’m feeling
Are you ready, but just looking for a reason
Are you flirting with your angels or your demons

Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Down by the river with the preacher’s daughter
I took her out last Saturday night
Had everything planned out nice
She didn’t want no five star dinner
So she took me down to the cool muddy river
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Down by the river with the preacher’s daughter
Last sunday I was sitting in church
Couldn’t stop looking over at her
I imagined cool water running down her body
Things I shouldn’t think in the house of God
Your father our pastor
Makes my heartbeat a whole lot faster
I’m scared you’re not
I hear the pastor is a pretty good shot
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Down by the river with the preacher’s daughter
Oh lord forgive me father
I’ve been skinny dipping with your daughter
Oh lord forgive me father
I’ve been skinny dipping with your daughter
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Skinny Dipping in the water
Down by the river with the preacher’s daughter
Oh lord forgive me father

Big Smile
02:31
|

|
Hold on to my rolled shirtsleeve
One more minute before I leave
Standing in the kitchen with the dishes piled high
Let the sink water run as we say goodbye
Big smile with your open arms
Bright eyes gonna bring me home
Big smile with your open arms
Bright eyes guide me home
Rolling down the long brick drive
Your handwritten note sits by my side
Lilly perfume hangs in the air
As I watch you waving in the rear view mirror
Big smile with your open arms
Bright eyes gonna bring me home
Big smile with your open arms
Bright eyes carry me home
Your bedroom light shines golden bright
My tired eyes gaze through the night
You rush outside in your nightgown lace
And wrap me up in a warm embrace
Big smile with your open arms
Bright eyes gonna bring me home
Big smile with your open arms
Bright eyes carry me home

You Gotta Love It
03:42
|

You gotta love it
You gotta love it and let it roll
You gotta love it
So the world is spinning
But you don’t even notice at all
You gotta love it
You gotta love it and let it roll
You gotta love it
So you don’t stop and think about
Anything at all
It’s always in the fall
That nothing means nothing at all
When everything seems to stall
And slows to a stubborn crawl
But you’ve got that ace up your sleeve
A metaphor for what you believe
Not something you can let be
It calls you like a howling sea
You gotta love it
You gotta love it and let it roll
You gotta love it
So the world is spinning
But you don’t even notice at all
You gotta love it
You gotta love it and let it roll
You gotta love it
So you don’t stop and think about
Anything at all
Now don’t even give me a chance
To even try and change your stance
I’m gonna call it romance
But you know I’m still on the fence
You’re a hundred miles up the road
You aren’t bluffing you won’t fold
No matter what you’re told
You keep moving forward aware and bold
You gotta love it
You gotta love it and let it roll
You gotta love it
So the world is spinning
But you don’t even notice at all
You gotta love it
You gotta love it and let it roll
You gotta love it
So you don’t stop and think about
Anything at all
And just let it roll

Rooted In You
03:52
|
|||
|
Cool sea air in the wood wind chimes
You hold my hand as the clouds roll by
We rock gently on the front porch swing
and both smile as the blue jays sing
You help me rise
You help me reach
From the ocean rain
To the snowcapped peaks
A life for two
Baby I hope you know
I’m rooted in you
You kick your boots at the cabin door
Flakes of snow fall on the floor
Warm steam rises from your cup of tea
There’s a place by the fire for you and me
You help me rise
You help me reach
From the ocean rain
To the snowcapped peaks
A life for two
Baby I hope you know
I’m rooted in you
Remember when I first held you
under the oak tree
And our dreams hung above us
With the leaves blowing in the breeze
You help me rise
You help me reach
From the ocean rain
To the snowcapped peaks
A life for two
Baby I hope you know
I’m rooted in you

Denali Dave
03:35
|
|||
|
Tinsel and lights lined the walls
A thick heavy air stayed in the halls
A dark bunk room and beds that creak
This place is quaint and certainly cheap
His voice tuned up and scratchy at best
It sounds like a records crackle and hiss
He told of a road with little no rest
His car died a cancerous death
He loved to cook and lived for the trail
Stayed all winter to tell his tale
To traveling folks like you and I
Those who listen say thanks and goodbye
He called himself Denali Dave
That big old beard wasn’t worth a shave
Dollars, nickels and tips to save
He kept it simple to have his way
His family said Dave, come back home
You can’t live your life like a rolling stone
You walk with a cane and an old hip bone
Just live the way we’ve always known
He loved to cook and lived for the trail
Stayed all winter to tell his tale
To traveling folks like you and I
Those who listen say thanks and goodbye
I could tell by the youth in his eye
Denali Dave was a cheerful guy
I don’t think he really had to try
What he loved he didn’t buy
If everyday the sun still shines
My heart beats with rhythm and rhyme
Thankful that I feel fine
I head out on Denali time
He loved to cook and lived for the trail
Stayed all winter to tell his tale
To traveling folks like you and I
Those who listen say thanks and goodbye
To traveling folks like you and I
Those who listen say thanks and goodbye

Young Love
03:30
|
|||
|
Long hair long skirt
I long for her till it makes me hurt
She’s gone without a word or goodbye
My heart feels like crushed colored glass
Like nothing I’ve felt in the past
Take me back to those long summer days
When every moment felt to good to be true
Young love, young love is all we knew
In the beginning it was playful and free
Like on that summer’s day
When her hair danced in the breeze
We ran to the ocean and dove right in
And the warm sun danced on her golden skin
Take me back to those long summer days
When every moment felt to good to be true
Young love, young love is all we knew
Hold me tight through the night
I don’t ever want to be alone
But she’s gone
Take me back to those long summer days
When every moment felt to good to be true
Young love, young love is all we knew

Never Too Late
03:14
|
|||
|
Tumbling rocks and
Loose footing
Dripping sweat
And dark unknown
Towering peaks
And strained muscles
Slow defeat with
Constant Hustle
Never too late for love
Hear the morning dove
The gift of something new
For Rocky and Mary Lou
Kinda blue
And whitewashed
Billowing curtains
All alone
Growing old
And windows close
A deep sigh
As the wind blows
Never too late for love
Hear the morning dove
The gift of something new
For Rocky and Mary Lou
All at once
Like a daybreak
Two eyes meet
And fill the void
Wind dies
And darkness fades
Bird Song
Is morning’s parade
Never too late for love
Hear the morning dove
gift of something new
For Rocky and Mary Lou
The divide is gone
The divide is gone
All at once like daybreak
Two eyes meet and fill the void

Kaleidoscope
03:47
|
|||
|
Take a walk down the cobble stone
The ivy covers the ground again
The leaves are falling with the heartache of old
The girl still hoops to the songs in her head
Kaleidoscope of memories
Spinning around in my head
Distant portraits I ache to see
The turning beauty hides from me
The screen door slams with a sound that shakes
She runs out in the dafodils
The road is dotted with the midsummer color
Her eyes are smiling her gaze is strong
Kaleidoscope of memories
Spinning around in my head
Distant portraits I ache to see
The turning beauty hides from me
And turning around me
I always thought I would be farther than I seemed
But giving it all to her I finally feel
It is more than I had dreamed
Kaleidoscope of memories
Spinning around in my head
Distant portraits I ache to see
The turning beauty hides from me
Now the girl has grown and shown
She can take care of her own
I want to tell her she’s all to me
But I think that she already knows
Kaleidoscope of memories
Spinning around in my head
Distant portraits I ache to see
The turning beauty hides from me

We Are Finally Here
03:06
|
|||
|
Have you ever thought
About the destination
The dots of constellations
Guiding us through the night
I wonder if this
Is the right direction
To catch the next connection
Will our wings take flight
Through up’s and downs
We’ve run around
Climbed and crawled
To higher ground
After all this time
It’s clear
We are finally here
We took a leap
Forgetting hesitation
No need for confirmation
Everything will work out fine
We left behind
All our reservations
And took the invitation
To let the heart speak louder than the mind
Through up’s and downs
We’ve run around
Climbed and crawled
To higher ground
After all this time
It’s clear
We are finally here
I wouldn’t trade my trail of troubles
For a path of ease
It took everything I had in me
To find this place where I can see
Through up’s and downs
We’ve run around
Climbed and crawled
To higher ground
After all this time
It’s clear
We are finally here
We are finally here
