God Only Knows

I hear thunder off in the distance
There’s a train rollin west to my right
A storm’s moving into this town, oh boy
This city’s gonna drown tonight
These lights are still bright at 3:00am tonight
Rain is falling violent from the sky
My cigarette won’t last me too long,
I’m just trying to make the county line
God only knows if I’ll make it
God only knows where I’m bound
But lightning’s flashing all around
God knows we tried, there’s just no hope for this town
Memphis may suit me, but Huntsville could, too
Mississippi or Baton Rouge
Texarkana ain’t looking too bad
I’ll just keep driving, I got nothing left to lose
God only knows if I’ll make it
God only knows where I’m bound
But lightning’s flashing all around
God knows we tried, there’s just no hope for this town
God only knows if I’ll make it
God only knows where I’m bound
God only knows if I’ll make it
God only knows where I’m bound
But lightning’s flashing all around
God knows we tried, there’s just no hope for this town

Let's run away
Let's forget about this place
Leave our things behind for just one day
Take my hand girl
And we'll candy stripe this world
Back and forth, roaming from place to place
Turn the radio on
And we'll sing our favorite song
You will harmonize
And I will make a fool of myself
There's no one that I'd rather see
This world from shining sea to sea than you
There's no other that I know
That makes me feel quite as whole as you
Let's swim the tides
Let's forget about the time
We've no place to be
Oh, so baby, let's not try
We'll unplug the phone
Until we're on our way back home
And since I know you will make fun
I will try not to cry
There's no one that I'd rather see
This world from shining sea to sea than you
There's no other that I know
That makes me feel quite as whole as you
We'll take these moving snapshots of our waking lives
And when we're old we'll look them over and we'll smile
I'll take your wrinkled hand in mine
After talking of all our better times
I'll tell you there's no place that I'd rather be
There's no one that I'd rather see
This world from shining sea to sea than you
There's no other that I know
That makes me feel quite as whole as you
There's no one that I'd rather see
This world from shining sea to sea than you
There's no other that I know
That makes me feel quite as whole as you

Rest of My Life

I see you dancing in your Sunday dress
Hand raised laughing in the grass
You look look so pretty
Flowers bloom all around you
Blue and red and purple, too
The leaves of the maple trees are dancing circles around your knees
Blowing in the breeze
You look so lovely
You're hair in lace, you place a kiss upon my face
And I am happy
I lay you down by the waterside at night
And I promise to love you for the rest of my life
We hold hands staring at the diamonds in the sky
You whisper gently to me, but can see it your eyes
That you love me
And, oh, I love you
Remember the times we talked all through the night
Planning out our busy lives
Watching the sun rise
Your head upon my chest
You rest, tell me everything you dream of
A house with a big red roof and picket fence
Trees and swings and flowerbeds
Kids singing the alphabet
We'll grow old and gray and still I'll say I'm yours
Forever and always
And I will lay you down by the waterside at night
And I promise to love you for the rest of my life
We hold hands staring at the diamonds in the sky
You whisper gently to me, but can see it your eyes
I lay you down by the waterside at night
And I promise to love you for the rest of my life
We hold hands staring at the diamonds in the sky
You whisper gently to me, but can see it your eyes
That you love me
And, oh, I'll always love you

I Will Rise

I greet the morning like a man trying to grasp the air
All my struggles and my despairs are keeping me down
And when I think it's over, oh it's only just begun
All my battles are lost and won notches in my belt
Won't you come set me free
Make me the man I was meant to be
Give me hope for all my days that are to come
Let the past be just that
There is no more looking back
There is light that shines within these eyes of mine
So take these hands of mine
Strap them to the plow
Let the sweat upon my brow be worth something now
And when I bleed I bleed for you
When I breathe I know it's true
That the seeds you plant will take root in this ground
Won't you come set me free
Make me the man I was meant to be
Give me hope for all my days that are to come
Let the past be just that
There is no more looking back
There is light that shines within these eyes of mine
When the night takes me down
And my strength cannot be found
I will wait for you in the shadows
I will rise
I will rise
So won't you come set me free
Make me the man I was meant to be
Give me hope for all my days that are to come
Let the past be just that
There is no more looking back
There is light that shines within these eyes of mine

Glass Half Full

When I was young
I walked out into the woods
I looked with wonder at how tall the trees stood
I saw them move
And I heard them speak
In my innocence I thought they were talking to me
Take me back to days when my problems didn't haunt me
Decisions were simple, my motive was pure
As I grow older, I just feel more empty
It's hard to see the glass half full
When I was young
I made things from clay
I showed my momma I was proud of what I had made
I built castles
For my queen and me
In my innocence thought that's how life would be
Take me back to days when my problems didn't haunt me
Decisions were simple, my motives were pure
As I grow older, I just feel more empty
It's hard to see the glass half full
