Too Far Gone 03:10
TOO FAR GONE As the town stood by we boarded the boats and set sail for fame and fortune Some shed a tear, some drank to the past, some of us praying we’d never be back One took on water and never left port and swam back to join the rewarded. As the stones were cast they saw the last mast, but they were too scared to try they were too far gone. Some were quick to throw lines at the first hopeful sign but the depths were a little distorted While others still drift on an endless sea wishing their anchors were just a bit longer The unfortunate few who crashed on the rocks, their bodies would never recover they thought. They just stared at the breech and wished they were home. They were too scared to try and to far gone. But for a small few who managed the breaks and found the bay of glory. Where their struggles rewarded they found roots to grow, and lived out their side of the story I’m told As the years went by they took stock of their nets yes they were full, happy, content, yet they still dreamt of home like a sirens song but they were too scared to try and too far gone

When I was young, I wouldn’t go as far as born to run, yet I’d move briskly towards the sun And now I’m here on this stage with some local international fame It’s a brand new city, yet somehow the same And they say you can never go home, well I wouldn’t want to be there again Cause it never ends happy and I’ve got new friends. Pack the drums and guitars, we’ll all pull a stool to the bar, we’ll recount the moments if any there are As we toast the times, to the future and to this very night, We’ll drink to tomorrow and may the past stay behind CHORUS As the lights go low, I hope you’re all satisfied with the show, and may we all be lucky and no one leaves alone. And they say you can never go home Maybe I could try it again We’ll throw a big party and invite all my friends

Strike down the band, it’s closing time Que Sara, so goodbye Encores aside it’s time to fly Let’s save a tune for another night One more tonight Over and over again they cried please don’t make me play, sad songs from yesterday Cause I can’t deny you, when you say things will never be the same We played all the hits in the final set B sides are all we’ve left One lone guitar’s been set aside I’ll play one more while the bands outside So drink you drinks, dry your eyes It’s not the room, nor the wine It’s an echo inside your mind Chorus

In her Sunday dress Mondays always come too soon Wants to be dancing by the moon From the Midwest Set out East upon a tune Settled down a bit too soon I know I’ve seen better days Safe to say she’s seen the same The back door slams she wipes her tears away In the next breath she’ll amaze you She did her best Knew the kids would have to come No one gets out when you’re on the run She could talk for days Never feel you have to say Anything and everything is gonna be ok Finally seems she’s found her way After years of toil and pain Close the windows draw the shades Tomorrow she’ll remind you She’s gonna be brand new again

ENDURING DEVILS I’ve ran the errands esoterics as best I can I’ve made appointments and commitments ploys and plans And when our day is over I still rush home in hopes to find you there And when our friends are over I still entertain with eyes of champagne Like I even care About what they do and how they fail you my dear And how they talk through all we’ve been through insincere It’s never over it’s just begun you are the only one I wait so patient but complacence isn’t mine Demanding schedules enduring devils killing time And when our day is over I still rush home in hopes to find you there And when our friends are over I still entertain with eyes of champagne Like I even care So now I know you I could use to know myself For kings and karma drugs and drama are getting to loud to hear me yell Chorus

Got me a band never drops a beat Got me a band to help you move your feet They’re the greatest band down to the man I’m sure you agree won’t you give em a hand I got me a band and it might be all I need Got me some fans they clap when I sing my songs Got me some fans they like to sing along No need to turn around cause I’m talking to you Don’t worry bout the words cause it’s only a blues Got me some fans and you might be all I need We go in and out and up and down Jump yourself back put your feet on the ground Don’t look now cause you might just shake the blues. Got me a job slinging this guitar Got me job who says I won’t go far Out on the road trying to get by We’ve all had a slice of that humble pie Got me a job and it might be all I need Got me a girl she never tell no lies Got me a girl pretty easy on the eyes She been with me so damn long knows what I did before it’s wrong Got me a girl and she’s sure all I need

GOODBYE CAROLINE Well I’m busted and broke I made friends with a rope but I don’t think I’m set to retire. And I still think of you when there’s nothing left to do but throw one more coal at the fire. I’d play you a tune but my e string broke and the chords aren’t so pretty down here. I could tell you a joke but I forgot them all and my intentions might seem unclear. And I knew I could see you laughing I wish I’d heard you cry So Goodbye Yes goodbye Goodbye Caroline The sheets are a mess and the pillows unkept I never liked sleeping alone. I tried switching sides but it was much too high and I kept falling back in the hole. And I find myself laying here with a lit cigarette and I’m wide a wake half of the time And it ain’t hard to do when you’ve got nothing left to lose maybe I’ll sit up for a while BRIDGE CHORUS All the kids are out back playing ball and jacks and they still think you ran to the store What should I say it wouldn’t matter any way it’s hard to make sense from the floor I found that old ring you’d been looking for and I set it on the stand by the bed I cried last night in our swimming pool as the stars all appear to be dead BRIDGE CHORUS

92 03:47
92 Back in 92 I had a couple of bucks and I changed for you But I don’t know why. No I don’t know why There’s a shadow hanging over me and I’m not the man that I used to be But I don’t know why. No I don’t know why So where are you and what am I Who are we and where does the time go And I hope to find a place that we can all go and say we’re finally home I know and you know too, cause I can see it in your eyes that we ain’t through So come on let’s try. Give it one more try. Some day when we all retire, what will they say when they stoke the fires Are they satisfied? Are you satisfied?

Sorry 04:01
The introductions end in a blaze of glory It certainly should have been plain to see I told her she’s the one, just stick to the story But they rewrote the end of the final scene And now she’s sorry He’s so very sorry Everybody’s sorry except for me All about the club everybody’s flying And the band strikes up a tune called jealousy I’m lying on the floor I think I could be dying But we sold out the show and it’s a courtesy. And as the crowd gathers to see what’s the matter You quietly slip outside I’m beaten and battered, yet secretly flattered still you have a brilliant eye. And now she’s sorry He’s so very sorry Everybody’s sorry except for me

When you said you want to be young I told there’s nothing wrong With just being beautiful Sit with me there’s no need to run That race is long since won Bow your head for the funeral I’m seeing things through older eyes Looking back? I haven’t the time We get better with age or we die on the vine The less we say the more we shine And I don’t mind if you take a while I’m satisfied with all I see I’ll be fine, cause you say you’ll always be a friend of mine You don’t have to say what’s in your head Ten years ago it’s already said I know your hand you don’t have to show So as we sit as passers by, I’ll smoke a clove you’ll drink your wine Raise a glass to the ones who know We’re seeing things through older eyes Looking back we haven’t the time Better with age or we die on the vine The less that we say the more we shine
