Waves

You can't even say
You felt the same
I know you did 8 days before
You can hide it away
But it still remains
Like the waves crashing on the shore
Why do I do it again and again
I stay in the game but I never win
Somehow you still get under my skin
I try to get out but I fall back in
If I weather the storm maybe you'll be there
And I can break through that empty stare
And as I brush away your hair
You'll finally see how much I care

Out West

I've gambled hard in cheap saloons
In seedy bars from dusk till noon
But never laid my life down on the line
Now circumstance has brought me here
To stare death down and face the fear
That's put men in their graves for also trying
I never ride to town looking for trouble
I only ride to town to fill my greed
In the end it always comes a lookin'
Tends to bring the darkest out of me
As it was getting hard to see
From lack of sleep and cheap whiskey
That man he went and pulled a gun on me
I looked him right straight in the eye
And realized that one would die
And casually asked him out into the street
The clock it struck, and so did luck
As my hammer pulled just as his struck
And blood and dust did mark his sure defeat
The dust kicked up from my horses feet
As I rode away down a narrow street
The sunset as my destination site
And to the next town I will ride
For a couple days I'll ride
Till I get the chance to gamble in the night

I finally got the time
To spend away from you
I finished all my plans
And all the things I would do
As I bided my time I felt that things were not right
As I searched through my mind I found this dealing inside
Fealing good about feeling bad When I'm missing you
Feeling good just knowing that I care for you
Feeling good about feeling bad
When I'm missing you
I guess there's something 'bout your mind
When it don't have anything to do
It digs up bits of truth and brings 'em right up to you
Though I may try to hide it
I can't see the use
Of staying away much longer
And missing out on you
I didn't think those feelings could be so bad
But they were the best feelings I ever had

The Mirror

In this house of mine there is a mirror
He walks and talks and sometimes brings on fear
Will I be the man when he is older
He thanks and tells me that I made him bolder?
Though now he sleeps in his room
I know he'll grow up soon
I wish he'd come with a guarantee
But for now I can see
That all he Needs is me
I want to balance the sterness with lots of love
And let him know he's a gift that came from above
I often wonder of futures and things unknown
And try to teach him the truth before he's on his own
Though now he sleeps in his room
I know he'll grow up soon
I wish he'd come with a guarantee
But for now I can see
That guarantee is me

Unknown Dream

There's a vision that came
There were dreams and then plans
Times I thought I had life
In the palm of my hands
But sometimes you don't know a dream
Until it comes true
Until it unfolds
Right in front of you
How did I come to you
How did it come to be
How did all this come true
How did you fall for me?
Often memories are skewed
And romanticized
Thinking you had it all
At some point in your life
Just look around
See how your blessed
Most times I have found
Things worked out for the best
