Back on My Feet

You know I’ve spent a lot of time
Looking up from the ground
Just tryin’ to pick myself up
From bein’ knocked down
‘Cause It’s never easy
Bein’ someone like me
Like a fire that’s gone with the wind
I’m my own enemy.
But I struggle and I scrape
To find a better me
And when I just don’t think
That I will have the strength
To take on anything
I can’t forget it’s up to
Me to find a way
To land back on my feet
Whoa yeah
You know there’s never a time
To quit and give in
Just gotta dust yourself off and get ready
To go at it again
‘Cause I struggle and I scrape
To find a better me
And when I just don’t think
That I will have the strength
To take on anything
I can’t forget it’s up to
Me to find a way
To land back on my feet
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa
‘Cause I struggle and I scrape
To find a better me
And when I just don’t think
That I will have the strength
To take on anything
I can’t forget it’s up to
Me to find a way
To land back on my feet

Well I don’t know if I’m the only one who expected life to be
A little more then workin’ like a dog for almost free
They say you can be anything that you wanna be
I say ignorance is bliss and you are livin’ in a dream
Cause’ we’re all just workin’ to make ends meet
Just tryin’ to live the lives we’re supposed to lead
With so much standin’ in our way
Well we learn to live another day
With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet
Just tryin’ to make ends meet
When I was young my old man worked his hands to the bone
To put food on the table and he did it alone
Workin for the man who never through him a bone
To this day he’s in a factory workin’ along
Cause’ we’re all just workin’ to make ends meet
Just tryin’ to live the lives we’re supposed to be
With so much standin’ in our way
Well we learn to live another day
With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet
Just tryin’ to make ends meet
Now I’m 25 and I can’t complain
I’m doin’ what it is that I love
Write and playin’ songs and doing things some only get to dream of
Now those of you who go to work everyday
My hat goes off to you
It’s not easy just tryin’ to get by
But we do what we gotta do
Cause’ we’re all just workin’ to make ends meet
Just tryin’ to live the lives we’re supposed to lead
With so much standin’ in our way
Well we learn to live another day
With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet
Just tryin’ to make ends meet

Raisin' Hell

Hey there darlin how ya doin tonight?
Would you like to have a drink and watch the fire flies
Under the sweet summer sky
It’s 11:45 on a Tuesday night
But we don’t give a damn ‘cause it’s all alright
When you are by my side
Just you and I
And there’s nothin’ that’ll ever slow us down
On a summer night lost somewhere in our hometown
‘Cause there’s always mischief to find on those late night rides
Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style
There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high
And watchin’ the summer sun rise
And the shows outside underneath those stars
Where we seem to find out who we really are
What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell
But we’re probably gonna raise some hell
Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell
And there’s something about you in this moonlight
That I can’t seem to get off my mind
You got me all shook up
Just wonderin’ what’s in your cup
And the warmth in the air has us dancin’ around
Got us actin’ like we must own the town
Well for tonight we do
And forever it’s me and you
And I don’t think I would have it any other way
When I come home again someday I hope there’s still
All that mischief to find on those late night rides
Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style
There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high
And watchin’ the summer sun rise
And the shows outside underneath those stars
Where we seem to find out who we really are
What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell
But we’re probably gonna raise some hell
Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell
And there’s nothin’ that’ll ever slow us down
On a summer night lost somewhere in our hometown
‘Cause there’s always mischief to find on those late night rides
Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style
There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high
And watchin’ the summer sun rise
And the shows outside underneath those stars
Where we seem to find out who we really are
What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell
But there’s probably gonna be some
Mischief to find on those late night rides
Goin’ to parties and bars like it’s goin’ out of style
There’s nothin’ like gettin’ high
And watchin’ the summer sun rise
And the shows outside underneath those stars
Where we seem to find out who we really are
What’s in store for tomorrow we never can tell
But we’re probably gonna raise some hell
Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell
Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell
Yeah we’re probably gonna raise some hell

Night After Night
03:57
|
|||
Late nights, long rides
To feel free for just a moment in time
Just another page in this wild life
Hit the lights, dark as night
But clear as day if I just close my eyes
There’s nothin’ else that could make me feel so high
‘Cause I never know which way I’m goin’
I only know where I’ve been
And I can only hope I’m comin’ back again
Some days I’m tired, feelin’ a little wired
From the endless grind night after night
But this is the life, just a day at a time
Tryin’ to survive
Road signs and white lines
All look the same as the ones that we left behind
Another state line in this wild state of mind
Showtime, I unwind
Before I have to walk that line
There’s nothin’ else that could make me feel so alive
‘Cause I never know which way I’m goin’
I only know where I’ve been
And I can only hope I’m comin’ back again
Some days I’m tired, feelin’ a little wired
From the endless grind night after night
But this is the life, just a day at a time
Tryin’ to survive
‘Cause I never know which way I’m goin’
I only know where I’ve been
And I can only hope I’m comin’ back again
(I’ll see you again)
Some days I’m tired, feelin’ a little wired
From the endless grind night after night
But this is the life, just a day at a time
Tryin’ to survive
Who-oh, who-oh, who-oh-oh-oh-oh
Who-oh, who-oh, who-oh-oh-oh-oh
Who-oh, who-oh, who-oh-oh-oh-oh
Who-oh, who-oh

It’s always been you
Who kept me strong
And kept me holdin’ on
I just never knew
And it’s always been you
When somethin’ feels so wrong
That’s always lead me true
I just never knew
And it’s always been you
That’s been the dim of light
While I’ve been lost in the dark
I just never knew
That I would find a girl with a heart like you
That we would smile and laugh as our time just flew us by
Before we could blink our eyes
But now that we’re right here it is so damn clear
That all our greatest mistakes were all worth the wait
If there’s one thing that’ll never be more true
It’s always been you
It’s always been you
That kept me on the right road
And kept me warm in the cold
I just never knew
And it’s always been you
Who’s always had my eye
I never will deny
My heart belongs to you
And it’s always been you
I just never knew
That I would find a girl with a heart like you
That we would smile and laugh as our time just flew us by
Before we could blink our eyes
But now that we’re right here it is so damn clear
That all our greatest mistakes were all worth the wait
If there’s one thing that’ll never be more true
It’s always been you

Point the Blame
03:30
|
|||
Just couldn’t take it today
Swear it’s all a big mistake
You’ve gone and given up everything you ever loved
There’s nothing you can say
‘Cause words don’t tolerate
Throw it all away for a moment of being numb
Now the days are counting down
And time is running out
Will you set aside your pride and see
What is real in your world that’s been built and broke on lies
How do you believe in anything that’s always been disguised
Can you see through the clouds of your wreckage and your pain
Do you really think that anything can ever be the same
When you point the blame
Why do you do it this way?
It’s the same old shit as yesterday
Right back at the bottom where you had begun
No matter how hard you try
You’ll never be fully satisfied
So afraid of life and always on the run
Now the days are counting down
And time is running out
Will you set aside your pride and see
What is real in your world that’s been built and broke on lies
How do you believe in anything that’s always been disguised
Can you see through the clouds of your wreckage and your pain
Do you really think that anything can ever be the same
When you point the blame
What is real in your world that’s been built and broke on lies
How do you believe in anything that’s always been disguised
Can you see through the clouds of your wreckage and your pain
Do you really think that anything can ever be the same
When you point the blame

As soon as night falls I’ll be skippin' town
Not a damn reason to be stickin' around
Lookin’ for the party and lookin’ for the sound
It's damn hard to do when there ain’t nothin' around
So just get on in and hold on tight
While we chase the mornin' sweet sunrise
The trucks loaded up, the tanks full of gas
And the law won’t even bother chase our ass
'Cause there’s no time for stoppin' now
And I sure as hell ain’t turnin' around
'Cause we’re Southbound and we’re flyin' high
Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky
Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night
Go until this hell ain’t no where in sight
'Cause there really ain’t no better place for me
Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company
So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now
You know I’m so sick and tired of this brutal cold
And watchin' snow fall is gettin' real damn old
I wanna feel the heat, wanna feel the sand
And I wanna do it all with a drink in my hand
So just get on in and hold on tight
cuz you and I are in for a hell of a ride
Pack your bags, we’re leavin' at dawn
And don’t bother callin' 'cuz we’ll be long gone
‘Cause the only thing on our minds
Is sunny and 75
'Cause we’re Southbound and we’re flyin' high
Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky
Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night
Go until this hell ain’t no where in sight
'Cause there really ain’t no better place for me
Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company
So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now
Y’all better get a good look now
'Cause once we hit the road, there ain't no turnin' back
'Cause we’re Southbound and we’re flyin' high
Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky
Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night
We'll go until this hell ain’t no where in sight
'Cause there really ain’t no better place to be
Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company
So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now
Southbound and we’re flyin' high
Rollin' by the stars and the moon in that sky
Yeah we’re Southbound, gonna be drivin' all night
We'll go until this hell ain’t no where in sight
'Cause there really ain’t no better place for me
Then where the tunes are cranked and there’s some good company
So we’re Southbound and we ain’t turnin' back now
(Southbound)
No we ain't turnin' back now
(Southbound)

Scream My Heart Out
04:20
|
|||
I haven’t always seemed like I’m in way in over my head
But I’ve been pushed beyond my limits
It doesn’t ever seem like I am gonna win
As hard as I try I just can’t fix it
‘Cause life has a way of messin’ with my mind
Somehow it happens all the time, when all I can do is
Scream my heart out
I scream till I scream so loud
That I can’t make another sound
I scream to the ones who wronged me
or ever showed me any doubt
I scream like no one is around
I scream my heart out
And I don’t remember when I grew to be this way
With a fuse always lit in my head
And I could never find the words I know I should’ve said
When the fight is always lost I see red
But I want so bad to keep it all inside
And some things are just to hard to hide
When all I can do is
Scream my heart out
I scream till I scream so loud
That I can’t make another sound
I scream to the ones who wronged me
or ever showed me any doubt
I scream like no one is around
I scream my heart out
Scream, scream
Scream my heart out
Scream my heart out
I scream till I scream so loud
That I can’t make another sound
Scream my heart out
I scream till I scream so loud
That I can’t make another sound
I scream to the ones who wronged me
or ever showed me any doubt
I scream like no one is around
I scream my heart out
