Song 96

How'd We Get Here?


It’s not a bitter song
Another lonely heart for you to walk upon
It’s not a bitter song
Took all my strength to say that I am gone
It’s not a bitter song

How’d we get here?
Feeling so low my dear
Drifting further apart
It’s the breaking of my heart

There’s no right or wrong
Scream all the night up until dawn
There’s no right or wrong
Darling how the hell are you so withdrawn
There’s no right nor wrong

How’d we get here?
Feeling so low my dear
Drifting further apart
It’s the breaking of my heart

Guess we don’t belong
Year after year and now what have we got?
Guess we don’t belong
A broken man and a woman distraught
Guess we don’t belong
Hell let’s give it a shot!

How’d we get here?
Feeling so low my dear
Drifting further apart
It’s the breaking of my heart

Song 95


Your words hung in the air
Like a sermon
In a silent steeple
With this bourbon
On my breath
Will you hear what I must confess?

My words were hanging around
Like a dog
Barking cause he couldn’t be found
With your song
In my head
I’ve got no choice but to sing it again

I’m glad I have my memories
This faded good luck charm
I’m glad I have my memories
Now that you’re gone

It’s colder in my bed
Feeling ancient in my head
It’s not getting better like you said
It would get
Ain’t nothing time won’t mend

Your words just kept coming back
Like a coyotes
Lonesome cry to the moon
In my own
Words I hope to see you soon
There’s just no room  for two

Song 94


If That's Not Love (94 of 365) (Click on title to hear song)
I was taken aback by the love that you lack
All of your life you
You’ve been treated so bad
It nearly took all that I had
To hold me back
It was a horrific sound
Break the skin to let it out
Is it under control now?

I was drinking coffee when I found the pill bottle empty
You locked yourself away and started to sing
La da da la da dee what do you think of me?
La da da la da die oh me oh my
It was a horrific sound
Hospital tried to pump it out
Is it under control now?
If this is love I have my doubts

You’ve tried so many times without success
Please take it as a sign that the cross around your neck
Is a God here too protect
Only wants your very best
Lay your fears down to rest
If that’s not love I don’t know what is

Song 93

Do You Hear That Train (Click on title to hear)

I'm a western man
On an eastbound track
Traded in my guns
for to be a business man
I'm a western man
you could say I've given up
traded in my guitar
now I sing for no one.

Gone is the way it was
gone is the way it will be
gone is the way I feel
God are you here with me?

Do you hear that train?
Coming clickety clack?
Do you hear that train
rolling swift smoke stack

I'm a western man that's the way it be
I traded in my name for to be free
I'm a western man that's just the way it is
When you're a western man you do what you can to live
