I Can Be What I Want
Written by Joe Savage and Colin Adams
V1
A moving picture packs up and leaves
Looking for a new place to hang
The ice box realized it was a cube
And so it changed its name
C1
Water the daisies pushed up by tyrants
Light speed locomotion
Stop all the noise I can’t handle the consequence
Too much commotion
I can’t be what I’m not
V2
Call it a chrysalis call it a tomb
Call it the point of no return
What goes in never comes out of the cacoon
Oh Lord we’ve got to learn
CHORUS
BRIDGE
So far from the sun but so close to the sky
The water in the ocean makes the desert dry
My wheels start to hum on the rails so true
The faster it gets the more I fade into you
V1 and CHORUS 1

Old Lies and Worn Boots
Written by Joe Savage
V1
What do you know
About ever having to make it on your own
What do you know
Bout living in a house and only wanting a home
You’re crying on the floor now and I don’t think I can save you
You wanna quit your job but we both know that won’t save you
You went digging up the past
But you’ve gone a little easy on yourself
What were you hoping would last
When It’s all about you, won’t hear nobody else
C1
Why did you have to try so hard
To find something wrong with me
And why couldn’t you
Do without an explanation
Just take things as they come and let it be
Your version now
Must be the truth
An often told lie
Is just like well worn boots
You’ll try a new pair
But they don’t feel as good
So you wear the old ones out till the nail’s draggin wood
I thought that you were better than that

It's So Easy To Be Easy

Easy To Be Easy
written by Jimmy Torres
V1
It’s so easy to be easy
When I’m lying next to you
I don’t know why I’d want anything more
You make the stars shine in my eyes
You make the love beat in my heart
My today with you is what I’m living for
C1
No I don’t care what happens later
You may be gone or I might leave
But for the moment you are my everything
And this happiness is too good to believe in
V2
You make it easy to be easy and a blessing to be
free
Though the freedom’s in the mind of the
believer
You are the gift that makes me happy
The smile that lets me see
That our love will make a home when we’re
together
C2
You may not care what happens later
For you may go or I might leave
But for today you are my everything
You make happiness that’s too good to believe
in
V3
I’m glad it’s easy to be easy
Life around me is too hard
And I often think I’d leave without no sorrow
But when you hold me and you tell me
I know that music fills your heart
I know I’ll be happy till tomorrow
C3
I really care what happens later
I know you go or I must leave
But for this moment you are my everything
I’m so happy I have you to believe in
V4
You’re the reason I’m so easy
You’re the reason I’m so free
You’re the rhyming in this verse I am living
If you should ask me how this can be
I will tell you it just is
I’m so thankful that your love has taught me
giving
C4
I really care what happens later
I know you’ll go or I must leave
But for the moment you are my everything
I’m so happy that I have you to believe in
I’m so happy that I have you to believe in
I’m so happy that I have you to believe in

A Harder Love

A Harder Love
Written by Joe Savage
V1
The hardest part is to admit
The harder part is to feel forgiven
In the toughest moments I know I must submit
The tougher time is to know that you listen
The easy things are done so thoughtless
The easy roads lead to fruitless places
Simple lines are always cautious
Simple wins are all done with aces
C1
I need a harder love
I need harder love
Like a rock that never weathers
Guiding wind under ruffled feathers
I need harder love
I need a harder love
V2
The hardest pieces I often over look
The harder piece is the key stone of my heart
The toughest times are written in my notebooks
The tougher time is to know it’s not art
The easy stuff ain’t hard to swallow
The easy way don’t cross no ocean
The simple life is hard to follow
The simple way is full of devotion
CHORUS

Pictures of You

I’ve Still Got Pictures of You
Written by Joe Savage and Andrew Carmen
V1
I got this feeling in my chest
Forget the past wish you the best
Screw these thoughts of self-destruction
When I am blue and badly busted
Beat up and burnt to hell
I chew these thoughts of self-duress
C1
I’ve still got pictures of you
I’ve still got pictures of you
I’ve still got pictures of you
In this apartment
Made for two
V2
Sweetest solace in a dream
Profound prediction in a scream
I met myself in the past tense
Weary eyes and sun scorched soul
Wish that I could break the mold
Leather jaded movie scene
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Tie me tighter
Tie me tighter
Then I’ve ever been before
Tie me tighter
Tie me tighter
I can’t fight it anymore
CHORUS
I’ve got this feeling in my chest
Forget the past wish you the best
Screw these thoughts of self-destruction

Nobody New
Written by Joe Savage
V1
I don’t wanna love
Nobody new
Too many strings
Can get stuck to you
Try to peel em off
Realize they’re super glued
No, I don’t wanna love nobody
Nobody new
C1
I’ll skip the tab on my heart
Run out the back before it starts
Won’t make eyes so you don’t see
Tears rolling down my cheek
Wont’ ask a hand to be let go
Can’t get hitched or knot a bow
No going Dutch, I’ll be alone
Couldn’t hang me up
Cause I’m so low
V2
All my crying nights are through
From now on a smile when I feel blue
Forget about two-timing again
no body new until…until my very end

Tiger In The Room

Tiger In The Room
Written by Joe Savage
C1
There ain’t an elephant in the room
But there’s a tiger and it’s you
Ready to pounce upon me
Ripping me apart
You yell out that we’re doomed
I say, “Honey, I love you.”
There ain’t an elephant in the room
But there’s a tiger and it’s you
V1
My baby she loves me so
But how much I’ll never know
Cause sometimes there’s a side she shows
That seems to be so sore
I guess you could say
Things are going pretty ok
We have a child on the way
Who could ask for more
CHORUS
BRIDGE
She’s saving up her pennies for my thoughts
Then using a quarter just to get me to talk
Playing songs on the bar juke box
That make me feel so warm
V2
To add insult to injury
My words her field artillery
She had no medical history
I was no fairly warned
To make a short story into a song
She thinks that I’ve done wrong
Her feelings like a bomb
A declaration of war

Just One More Little Dance
Written by Joe Savage and Matt Tedder
V1
So nice to see ya
Feels so right
The stars are in our eyes
When your hand slips in mine
The spark lights up the night
And my head says to my heart
Gee, ain’t that nice
Just one more little dance with you
V2
Grab me another
From the fridge
My bed and beer are better shared with
A record that we’ve both grown to love
Let’s move the table to the hall
Pretend we’re at our high school ball
Just one more little dance with you
C1
All the honky-tonks are closed
The neighborhood’s asleep
It’s just you and I
and our two-steppin’ feet
The moon seems to laugh
When I kiss your cheek
We watch the sunrise
Don’t waste no time to sleep
V3
As the coffee
Is a drippin’
She says, “Gee, ain’t it nice to be livin’”
She’s as sweet as sugar and cream
Light up our smokes
Train whistle blows
The kids are off to school
Just one more little dance with you
