Me, Myself, and I-45

Rolling down the interstate
Working on my inner state
Wheels turning
Gas burning
All these exits look the same
Dead ends with different names
I never leave town
I’m putting my foot down
And I’mma drive
Through the cracked up roads of my mind
Take some time
Me Myself and I-45
Windows down with the speakers up
Egg biscuit and a coffee cup
Right next to me
Is all I need
Getting over some hills
Under some bridges
Imma take some time and miles just thinking
Going nowhere
Might get me somewhere
So I drive
Through the cracked up roads of my mind
Take some time
Me Myself and I-45
Maybe going nowhere
Might get me somewhere
On my drive
Through the cracked up roads of my mind
Take some time
Me Myself and I-45

Still Don't Know
03:13

Do you remember the crying and broken glass
Baby we were never supposed to last
I know that we don’t feel the same way
Pointing our fingers at who we can blame My
Lights off laying in bed
Can’t fall asleep with you in my head
I’ve been thinking bout ya
Why I still don’t know
Why the hell I still can’t seem to
Let you go
I’m on the edge of a cliff just a call away
Praying you’ll pick up the phone and you’ll say to me
I’ve been thinking about ya, why I
Still don’t know
But I Remember driving past the trespass sign
Your white t-shirt slipping off in the moonlight
I know that we both were so insane
Part of me thinks I liked it that way
My lights off laying in bed
Can’t fall asleep with you in my head
I’ve been thinking bout ya
Why I still don’t know
Why the hell I still can’t seem to
Let you go
I’m on the edge of a cliff just a call away
Praying you’ll pick up the phone and you’ll say to me
I’ve been thinking about ya, why I
Still don’t know
Do you feel the same way
Do you feel the same way I do
3AM still awake
Do you feel the same way
I’ve been thinking bout ya
Why I still don’t know
Why the hell I just can’t seem to
Let you go
I’m on the edge of a cliff just a call away
Praying you’ll pick up the phone and you’ll say to me
I’ve been thinking about ya, why I
I still don’t know

Like Riding a Bike
03:19
|
|

We were bike dirt tires
On paved concrete
On the right roads
Just had the wrong wheels
But I see you back in town
Same short cut jeans
My head still spins
My heart still feels
Like riding a bike
Just you and I
Down long back roads
Your brown hair blowing
In the wind
Like it did back then
All those teenage summer nights
When I loved you
You loved me too
Was so easy
Still get that feeling
When our eyes meet
I can hop back on our love like
Like Riding a bike
Our hands still fit
You still get that smile
Your winding curves
Still drive me wild
And bring me right back
To wishing I didn’t have to go
Thinking maybe we should give it one more try tonight
Just take it slow
Like riding a bike
Just you and I
Down long back roads
Your brown hair blowing
In the wind
Like it did back then
All those teenage summer nights
When I loved you
You loved me too
Was so easy
Still get that feeling
When our eyes meet
I can hop back on our love like
Like Riding a bike
You got that red Honda Pilot
That you always wanted and
I’m on the road still playing
But sometimes I wonder
If it would’ve been better
If we just ended up staying
And kept riding our bikes
Just you and I
Down long back roads
Your brown hair blowing
In the wind
Like it did back then
All those teenage summer nights
Cuz I love you
You love me too
It’s so easy
Still get that feeling
When our eyes meet
I can hop back on our love like
Like Riding a bike

Maybe When We're 40
02:42

I still miss you
She said crying
On the phone at 2am
And the truth is
I do too but
I won’t say that again
I gotta go babe, I’m sorry
Plane leaves in just 2 hours
She said I know, last thing
I just wanna say out loud that
I really do wish you the best
And I hope that I see you again
But hey maybe, when we’re 40
We’ll both need somebody
You’ll call me
We’ll pick up
Right back where we left off
We’ll settle in a small town
Split level off Bluemound
Now we’re not
Meant to be
But maybe, when we’re 40
We will
We will, we will
Well I hope so, I said back babe
You know, I think I’d be fine
Falling back into your arms
One day, but baby I
Love you enough to let you go
Though part of me may always hope
That maybe, when we’re 40
We’ll both need somebody
You’ll call me
We’ll pick up
Right back where we left off
And we’ll settle in a small town
Split level off Bluemound
Now we’re not
Meant to be
But maybe, when we’re 40
We Will
We Will
We Will
Spend our 20’s going out
Spend our 30’s growing up
And when we finally meet again
Well we’ll be ready to fall in love
Maybe
Hey Maybe
Maybe at 40
We’ll both need somebody
You’ll call me
We’ll pick up
Right back where we left off
An we’ll settle a small town
Split level off Bluemound
Now we’re not
Meant to be
But maybe, when we’re 40
We will

Clean My Room
03:18
|
|
||
|
Empty bottles messy bed
Clothes are hanging off the shelf
Memories scattered in my head
Been a mess since you left
Watching screens closing shades
Drinking eating by myself
Haven’t left here in days
Been a mess since you left
And I’ve been
Keeping all your boxes
In case you ever wanted
To move back in again
But it’s been awhile and
I think I need to clean my room
The space you left inside me too
I’ll get your clothes off the drawers and floor
Get your love out the door before
I show this place to someone new
I think I need to clean my room
Wash the windows and the pain
Wipe the dust off my chest
Find letters that I gave
Didn’t take when you left
Oh you
left all of your boxes
I thought you would have wanted
To remember when you stayed
But you just threw it all away
I think I need to clean my room
The space you left inside me too
I’ll get your clothes off the drawers and floor
Get your love out the door before
I show this place to someone new
I think I need to clean my room
See home ain’t wherever I’m with you
Just where I let you into
I can make it mine again
And just maybe I’ll go out next weekend
And I’ll let someone new in
And I’ll be glad I said
I think I need to clean my room
The space you left inside me too
Got your clothes off the drawers and floor
Got your love out the door before
I showed this place to someone new
I think I need to clean my room

Broken In
03:21
|
|

|
You’ve been worn, you’ve been used
Walked upon and bruised
Stretched out like a sweatshirt and you’re favorite leather shoes
He left, You stayed
He tore, you frayed
And you took some days to sew and mend the new love that you gave
But it looks better that way
So show it off, don’t hide it away
That hearts too good to keep it in
That love, it ain’t broken babe
It ain’t broken its just broken in
So you’re first love wasn’t perfect
And neither was your second
But you got stories to tell and lots of lessons not to mention
Old pictures, Aged liquor
Vinyl records and ripped jeans
People wanna see the things that have seen some things
So baby take that thing
And show it off, don’t hide it away,
That hearts too good to keep it in
That love, it ain’t broken babe
It ain’t broken its just broken in
You can try to bend it
Try to beat it black and blue
But it’s made out of the tough stuff
It can take a scar or two
So show it off, don’t hide it away,
Grab those shoes we’re goin dancin
That love, it ain’t broken babe
You ain’t broken you’re just broken in

Countryside
03:18

Hey, are you alright?
They ask me
Sitting with a glass of whiskey
Eyes glazed over looking at the skyline
Said friend, you know I
Love this city
But sometimes you have to excuse me
I let myself get lost up in my mind
And I go to my countryside
Take some time
Remember nights
Sitting by the fire
Leaning back
Watching the red sky sunset
Let those barefeet sway and swing
Feel that warm breeze in that piece of my mind
My countryside
Sometimes I wonder why
I left home
I fit in here but don’t belong
I miss the grass and soil beneath my feet
Pecan rolls on sunday morning
I can smell the fresh warm coffee pouring
Though I am far from home
Home is not far from me
I can go to my countryside
Take some time
Remember nights
Sitting by the fire
Leaning back
Watching the red sky sunset
Let those barefeet sway and swing
Feel that warm breeze in that piece of my mind
My countryside
Though I am far from home
Home is not far from me
And one day you know I hope
To bring you there with me
We can go and find a countryside,
Take some time
Remember nights
Sitting by the fire
Leaning back
Watching the red sky sunset
Let those barefeet sway and swing
Feel that warm breeze in that piece of your mind
The countryside

The You
03:34
|
|

I’ve sang to you a million times
With hundreds of love songs I’ve memorized
Like I’m Yours, Your Song
No sunshine when you’re gone
But I don’t know you
The you that I’ve been singing to
In old dive bars, big dance halls
Coffeehouse concerts, crowded festivals
I’ve sang to strangers, old friends
All my lovely exes
But none were you
The you that I’ve been singing to
But hey you, hey you
I want you to hear
I guess that I love you
Even when you’re not here
But I can’t wait
For the day
I will sing you every song and say
You’ve always been the you
That I’ve been singing to
Maybe you live right down the road
Or you climbing some mountain in Colorado
Or you’re listening to this song
On your long drive home
Ya you, maybe it’s you
That I’ve been singing to
Hey you, hey you
I want you to hear
I guess that I love you
Even when you’re not here
But I can’t wait
For the day
I will sing you every song and say
You’ve always been the you
That I’ve been singing to
You’ve always been the you
That I’ve been singing to

Way You Move

I saw you
Setting the mood like a light
In this smokey room
Dancing to the blues
Like a disco groove
Catching every eye
But I saw you
Looking at me with a smile
Like you wanted me
Saying “boy cmon”
Well, heartbreak be gone
I just had to try
You just move baby
Move anyway you need
How d’ya do it darling
You got me on my knees on my feet
And you can take me to the left
You can take me to the right
Baby take me for the rest of my life
Just move baby
The way you move is moving me
What could I do
But follow along with your hips feet
Heartbeat song
Flowing dress and your hair
Girl it ain't fair
Whatever you do
Just don’t stop
You just move baby
Move anyway you need
How do ya do it darling
You got me on my knees on my feet
You can take me to the left
You can take me to the right
Baby take me for the rest of my life
Just move baby
The way you move is moving me
You just move baby
Move anyway you need
How d’ya do it darling
You got me on my knees on my feet
And you can take me to the left
You can take me to the right
Baby take me for the rest of my life
Just move baby
The way you move is moving me

Turn Around
02:48
|
|

Everyday you turn
On this big old earth
That turns
Round a universe
That shines on you with the morning sun
Turn to kiss me when you get up
And you turn
Your old car wheels
Til you turn
and come back here
But lately you been staring out that glass
Looking like you might not turn back
But, you’ve done it again and again and again
So baby I know you can
Turn around, turn to me
Don’t walk out babe just breathe
And believe that we’ll make it til morning comes
It’s dark now but there’s dawn
What goes down will come up
Times are tough but just like everything else does
We’ll Turn
The radio dial
And turn
The speakers loud
Start spinning around these hardwood floors
Get to talking laughing like we did before, just
Turn around, turn to me
Don’t walk out babe just breathe
And believe that we’ll make it til morning comes
It’s dark now but there’s dawn
What goes down will come up
Times are tough but just like everything else does
We’ll turn
Cuz I remember it was you who turned
When I was broke could barely breathe
And you took my hand
Saved me when you said
Turn around, turn to me
Don’t walk out babe just breathe
And believe that we’ll make it til morning comes
It’s dark now but there’s dawn
What goes down will come up
Times are tough but just like everything else does
We’ll turn
