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 & Worn Boots 02:31

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

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 04:04

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

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 02:34

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 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
