How Do I Do This
Picking up the pieces
With more hands then just my own
It takes a village
A place I call my home
But I realized A long long time ago
Things can change
I've got to learn to let it go
How do i do this Without you
How do I live this life alone
How do I do this without you
How do I carry on
When you love somebody
They got good bad driving appeal
Yea when you really love somebody
And they got all of that power and feel
Don't forget it That's the worst thing
That can break a grown person down
I know I'm learning as I go But, one thing I know for sure Is I always want you around
How do i do this Without you
How do I live this life alone
How do I do this without you
How do I carry on
Hey mama can you hear me
I'm screaming out as loud as I can
Inspiration that I'm feeling is always appealing When I know that you're around
Hey Papa, I won't forget it
I'll send a card and let them know
Because it's the little things in life That make it all seem right When you let the people around you know
How do i do this Without you
How do I live this life alone
How do I do this without you
How do I carry on
How do i do this Without you
How do I live this life alone
How do I do this without you
How do I carry on

Trying to Get Over

Trying to get over
I been holding on for too long
Turned around and she was gone
Seven years got me here
All that's left is my tears
You didn't have to leave me in the cold
But you had to do it on your own
Now shorty's got her head down for too long
Wondering why she always ends up alone
Oh she's positive we need to pause a bit
I'm just trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over you
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Lets go to work now
let the sun hit my skin
Let this day begin
so I can ease my mind
I'm better than this I know I'm better than this
I can't believe your gone
It's so hard just being home
Now shorty's got her head down for too long
Wondering why she always ends up alone
Oh She's positive
we need to pause a bit
I'm just trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over you
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
These days I feel so out of control
I'd leave this place if I knew where to go
Now shorty's got her head down for too long
Wondering why she always ends up alone
Oh She's positive
we need to pause a bit
I'm just trying to get over
I'm just trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over you
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
I'm just trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over
Trying to get over you
Trying to get over
Trying to get over

All I Ever Wanted

All I Ever Wanted
Never heard a perfect story
not yours not mine not no one we know
But you always had the guts for glory
and it always showed
All I ever wanted was you
All I ever wanted was you
Stop
Take a minute is your mama home
Maybe call her on the telephone
Maybe tell her that you love her
Tell her you been missing your sisters and your brothers on the road
Life aint always a disaster
no it's not something you can master no
Oh maybe take a minute
sit yourself down remind your head why your with it
All I ever wanted was you
All I ever wanted was you
I got an old school house party hanging with my friends tonight
I heard that you'll be there
and make it alright
No I got no good plan of where I'm sleeping tonight
I heard that you'll be there
and make it alright
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted was you

Hustler
04:32
|

I've been worried about the future
Forgetting about the past
I'm focused on the present
Probably why it doesn't last
I'm a hustler baby
And i want you to know
Hard times are coming I've got to go
Long cold nights and there's more ahead
When you're trying to make a living off the walking dead
Lonely people grow so close to me
When it's time to move on I don't lose no sleep
I'm a hustler baby
And i want you to know
Hard times are coming
I've got to go
Hard times is coming
Hard times is coming
Hard times
There's no peace
but it's good for business
I can't make no mistakes
because there is no forgiveness
I'm a hustler baby
And i want you to know
Hard times are coming
I've got to go
Hard times is coming
Hard times is coming
Hard times
When all of my faith is gone
I can't let on
Folks around me need me strong
Broke my heart to lie to god
Tell me what's going on
World around me feels so wrong
And I know it's time to push back
with all that I have
I'm a hustler baby
And i want you to know
Hard times are coming
I've got to go
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times

Lonely King
04:10
|

To every heart in the room
To every eye that's open
To every bird on a wire
To every flower on the ground
You better believe I'm coming up
There's no way that I'm leaving
I will never give up on you
She called me the lonely king
feels nothing has everything
I will never give up
All that you need
all that you see
There's more to do here
If you're feeling unsure
Then you're just like me
If you think that love is the cure
Then you're just like me
I'm no better than him
I'm no better than any man
I'm just trying to figure it out babe
don't give up on me
You better believe I'm coming up
There's no way that I'm leaving
I will never give up on you
She called me the lonely king
feels nothing has everything
I will never give up
All that you need
all that you see
There's more to do here
All that I am
and all that we could be
There's more to do here
I don't want to be anywhere else
But I know what I came for
You can call me passive aggressive
but you're a blessing in a lifelong lesson
And I know what I came for
You better believe I'm coming up
There's no way that I'm leaving
I will never give up on you
She called me the lonely king
feels nothing has everything
I will never give up on you
Oh no All that you need
all that you see
There's more to do here
All that I am
and all that we could be
There's more to do here

Never Say Goodbye
03:54
|

We never say goodbye
Nobody noticed
I ain't that type of guy
Who's always focused Focused
But when I close my eyes
It feels right
Leave yesterday at the door
You don't need it no more
You give me 12 different feelings
And I can't let go
But when you close your eyes
Does it feel right
Does it feel right
Does it feel right
Does it feel right
You should know
when I'm in mind with you
It's the only place
And there's so much under the surface
It's a feedback loop
I've got to find my way
To a world that revolves around you
But when you close your eyes
and I open mine
It feels right
It feels right
It feels right
It feels right
it feels right
How does it feel
It feels right
How does it feel
It feels so right

Far Enough
03:38
|
|||
I come calling
But, the calls had to stop
Maybe I was scared
Or underprepared
But I've been dreaming more
Yeah I dream but I don't sleep
It's all too loud
And I'm way too proud
Well if you need me I'll be around
Spending my days in some small little town
Probably drinking too much
But I'll never be far enough
MMMMMMMMMMMMM yeah yeah yeah
Oh I'll never be far enough
If your asking
Do you need someone to lean on
Someone to make you feel strong
Like the mercy of a salt filled lake
Have mercy
yeah we all have things to get over
If you need me and I'm somewhere your not
And you're staring at all the books that you've bought
Probably drinking too much
Oh I'll never be far enough
MMMMMMMMMMMMM yeah yeah yeah
MMMMMMMMMMMMM
Oh I'll never be far enough

Josephine
You've changed everything
Helped me see things differently
And you brought so much joy to me
I can't get away from it
Each day I grow more sure
If someone was to take come and take you away
They'd have to Hold me back
hold me back
Hold
Josephine
A small town girl with big city dreams
She gave me a new song to sing
But now she has to leave
I can't get away from it
Each day I grow more sure
When the day comes and you have to go away
They'd have to Hold me back
hold me back
Hold
Josephine
No matter how far you roam
always remember your home
Don't forget our favorite fishing hole
Or this heart that you stole
Yeah you stole my heart
And now I'm falling apart
Josephine
You changed everything
Oh yes you did
And you helped erase this hate in me
Ohhhh it's gone
You helped erase the hate
I can take it
I can take it
I'll tell you lord I can take it

Pick up My Head
04:10
|
|||
It's a shame that I'm here without you
Call me Mrs. Jones on a bottle of wine
You can push me down then dial me up
I'm the poor man's valentine
Everybody's high when you're feeling good
When I was low I wish you would
Call out my name and I'll be there
If you care
if you care
Won't you be the one who calls out my name
Won't you be the one who feels the same
Won't you be the one who lays in my bed
Won't you be the one who can pick up my head
I ain't no damn soul singer
I'm my mama's son and that's who I am
Came up from nothing
Bad at bluffing
Look you in the eye when shaking your hand
Everybody's high when you're feeling good
When I was low I wish you would
Call out my name and I'll be there
If you care
if you care
Won't you be the one who calls out my name
Won't you be the one who feels the same
Won't you be the one who lays in my bed
Won't you be the one who can pick up my head
Now I ain't trying to blow your candle out
But you got me like a moth to a flame
They say we're good for nothing
but I don't know
Oh this world can feel so small around ya
When your waiting for the sun to shine
Knock on my door and I'll be there to answer
right on time
Won't you be the one who calls out my name
Won't you be the one who feels the same
Won't you be the one who lays in my bed
Won't you be the one who can pick up my head

Waiting on a letter supposed to make me better for a while for a while Mama works Sundays while daddy does his own thing he's a child he's a child I been working way too long building towards something that I can barely hold on to can barely hold on to Like dinner on a Sunday and in my line of work it's all the time that we needed it's all that we needed
Of All these names that we call to It brings me right back to you here in the middle The names will change but we stay the same when they need us It brings me right back to you here in the middle And the story goes on
I been knowing way too long its burning in my bones and driving me insane i can feel it I can feel it lord But now you come around here with your brand new shoes Driving daddy's car like you got something to prove it's a pity oh it's a pity
Of All these names that we call too It brings me right back to you here in the middle The names will change but we stay the same when they need us It brings me right back to you here in the middle
Waiting on a letter supposed to make me better for a while I been working way too long building towards something I can barely hold on to I can barely hold on to
Of All these names that we call too It brings me right back to you here in the middle The names will change but we stay the same when they need us It brings me right back to you here in the middle Here in the middle It brings me right back to you here in the middle
