Higher Places

All your life you’ve been good
You’ve never really understood
Conform to a single book
And if you don’t you will be damned
But I know…
Chorus:
I’m going to higher places
Yes I know I’m going to higher places yeah..
There’s a place of higher spheres
Each one has it’s own level.
Beauty like in all books
And you get to see your past faces
And I know…
Chorus
I’m going to higher places
And I know I’m going to higher places yeah..
Bridge
It doesn’t even matter how you are
The love inside your heart will send you far….
Solo
Chorus out.
Yes I know I’m going to higher places
And I know I’m going to higher places yeah
And I know I’m going to higher places
Yes I know I’m going to higher places

Cold Daddy City
04:08

A heavy day weighs on my head,…I need a solution.
I know a place where there’s a face, who gives me a contribution.
You can let yourself down and unwind
Everyone lets loose for the time.
Grab a seat, no need to wait, these drinks are colder
There can be a consequence if you go a little over
I get to see you in a better state of mind
Down in..
Cold Daddy City
If you drink to much you’ll feel shitty
I’m gonna be there you bet your ass that’s right in
Cold Daddy City
Solo
I get to see you in a better state of mind
Down in
Cold Daddy City
If you drink to much you’ll feel shitty
I’m gonna be there you bet your ass that’s right in
Cold Daddy City
Cold Daddy City
If we drink to much you’ll feel shitty
Where gonna be there you bet your ass that’s right in
Cold Daddy City

Bury Underneath
03:51
|

|
Bury Underneath pure emotion
Bury Underneath what you feel
Times been caking on top
With a sense of feel you let it go.
Chorus
And when you dig them up your scars will rattle
With the key you open and let them bleed.
Bury Underneath once upon a time
You know this is for real, a layer by day
Soon your box wants to crack
Pressure underneath will show it’s face.
Chorus
And when you dig them up your scars will rattle
With the key you open and let them bleed.
Solo
And once you’ve dug them up your scars will heal
Now that you have opened and let them bleed.

Watching Cows
03:50
|
|||
|
Sitting in a chair
With an ice chest full of beer
It’s a good day…
Out in a pasture
With the breeze blowin watching cows
What would they say?
Here I sit as the clouds roll by
Thinkin what it might be like as you
You stand there watching. Without a fence around, what would you do?
I’m not going to work. I contemplate while you sit under shade. Damn you got it made.
Sittin by some hay. You chew away with nothing to say and it’s ok.
Another beer.
With all these problems in my head, an open field seems like the place to be
No worries. They slip away while watching you.
Watching you.
Hey!
It’s getting late now. The sun falls behind the trees.
I don’t wanna leave now. You might find me here tomorrow watching you..
Watching you.
Hey!

My Molly
You were a good friend
You were around back in our day…
My Molly
Such a cute thing
Little brown nose
With a pink tongue
Everyone loved Molly
Everyone trust Molly
Until she bit your hand off…
Molly
Our Molly
She came a runnin
To a can of tuna
With her tail up high
Oh Molly
Attention was her game
When she was ready
She would let you know
Everyone loved Molly
Everyone trust Molly
Her ears would let you know
Her tail would thrash about
Pain is comin have no doubt
Go ahead and stick your hand out…
Molly
Oh Molly

Make You Cry
04:38
|
|||
|
You told me how you felt and I listened that night…
You opened up and told me the truth, words you said I let them get me…
But I..
Chorus:
I didn’t mean to make you cry
What you’ve always said happened tonight
I thought about it and wondered why. Oh why….Maybe my tone is guilty.
You prided me with the never and now I feel that it’s over…
But I..
I didn’t mean to make you cry
What you’ve always said happened tonight
I never wanted you to cry
In that moment
I saw it crashing down
I saw your child eyes.
(solo)
I didn’t mean to make you cry
What you’ve always said happened tonight
I never wanted you to cry

Summer Day
04:49
|
|||
|
There’s a feeling I know
It’s like the sun, your smile shows
And when you get the chance…
You remind me…
The sun shines down, the smell of your skin
And with the sight you make me, lose my mind
And when you get the chance…
You remind me…
Yeah… You’re my summer day
Oh you’ve never burned me
Oh your salt cleans me
By the poolside it gets better
And when the summer’s over….
I still got mine….

Better Than Me
02:20
|
|||
|
You say you live a clean life
Better than everyone
A free pass so step aside
You think you’re going guaranteed…
You think you’re better than me….
You wanna talk cause it feels good
You’re an ass, Lets go
No toleration cause it runs deep
You have to be on the same side
You think you’re better than me……

Anywhere
05:04
|
|||
|
I can’t wait to know when I die
Every place I’ll get to go
I’ll fly
Fly…
I’ll get to meet you and then I’d roam
To the mountain where I’d go
Up high
Up high
I’d watch down below with a smile on my face
Anywhere in time, I’d watch the race
Down below
Down below
And now my spirit flies
High….
And I’ll go Anywhere
With my eyes
Wide
I’ll go Anywhere
To the rivers and the oceans
And I’ll go Anywhere
I’ve wondered since I’s a kid
Could I ever go back to where it began?
Here’s my chance, no sin to bind
I’m free to be for the rest of time
I’ll go through the clouds and feel the rain
Straight to the house that I lived in
I’ll see who’s there, won’t make a sound
Like yesterday, blink an eye…..
And now my spirit flies
High….
And I’ll go Anywhere
With my eyes
Wide
I’ll go Anywhere
To the rivers and the oceans
And I’ll go Anywhere
