“Losin’ Cinderella Shoes”
Verse 1
There’s shadows in the corner, mama leave on the light
The devil’s outside my window, I can see the fire
It’s dangerous to go outside to play, and once upon a time is so very far away
Verse 2
Every night the monsters, run around her dreams
And happy ever after, is impossible it seems
Her lullabies are changin’ all their tunes
And innocence is slippin’ by, goin’ way too soon
Chorus
We’re losin’ Cinderella shoes, losin’ Cinderella shoes
Fairy-tales get lost sometimes, Superman can’t really fly
And heroes aren’t always bulletproof
We’re losin’ Cinderella shoes
Verse 3
The story books we read then, could take us to a place
Where make-believe and fantasy, would carry us away
I wish that we could go back to, the way it was before
Cause childhood dreams and magic things, aren’t workin’ anymore
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I pray someday we’ll find a way, to turn this world around
And love will conquer hate, but the way it is right now
Heroes aren’t always bulletproof
We’re losin’ Cinderella shoes

Beyond This Town
Verse 1
Staring down these empty streets, ready to get out
Thoughts runnin’ through my mind, far beyond this town
Beyond this town, beyond this town
Verse 2
Been thinkin’ bout breakin away,
I’ve been in this place too long
ready for a new dance but I’m singing the same old song
The Same old song, the same old song
Chorus
I’m ready to break away, get out of here and run
I’m ready to live my life, see what I can become
Verse 3
Ya, I gotta to move on, No, I don’t belong
ya, I need a new dance but I’m singin’, singin’ singin’ the same ole
Chorus 2
I’m ready to break away, get out of here and run
I’m ready to live my life, see what I can become
Ya, this old town is choking me the ties that bind are too strong
I’m ready to break away, get out of here and run

A Place Called Always
Verse 1
They were young in love
Too young to drink too young to drive
But off they went down life’s highway
Drunk on each other runnin’ wild
Verse 2
Swore their love would always last
until the end of time
With every single mile that passed
they never failed to read the signs
CHORUS
Just this side of forever
there’s a place called always
Most don’t get that far
they get lost along the way
Everybody thinks they'll make it
Some try but they don’t stay
If you wanna reach forever
You got to go, you gotta go
You gotta go through always
Verse 3
There were twists and turns
And there were rivers to cross
Small battles worth the fight
Always love never lost
Verse 4
It’s been worth each mile they went
down that long and winding road
And they'd do it all again
ya there's one thing that they know
Repeat chorus
TAG
Just this side of forever ,there’s a place called always
Always
Always
Always…

Freedom
V1:
Back when I had a life, didn’t care if the world was round
Busy chasin’ rainbows til I ran em down
Ya, I may be a dreamer and that may be my fall
But back when I had a life I sure did have it all
CHORUS
I had freedom
Nothing, to hold me down
Give me freedom
To turn this life I’m livin’ around
V2
There are thoughts with plenty and it’s easy to survive
Me I’m working two jobs just to stay alive
Still I’m proud to be livin’ in the land of the free
And that’s the one thing they can’t take from me
CHORUS
I have freedom
Nothing, to hold me down
Give me freedom
To turn this life I’m livin’ around
BRIDGE
So when I’m caught up in this daily grind
All pain, no gain
I know it’s only just a matter of time
Til I’ll break loose from this ball and chain
TAG
I need freedom
I want freedom
Give me freedom
I want freedom
Oh give me freedom (Oh give me freedom)
Hmm, oh ya

MIDNIGHT IN BIRMINGHAM
V 1
Don’t know a soul in this old city
Don’t plan to stay around that long
If I had my way and a one way ticket babe
Yesterday I’d be gone
V 2
He was a long shot at forever
But I had to take it just the same
If I’d only known where he would lead me
I’ve only got myself to blame
Chorus 1
There’s no cold, like the sidewalk on the south side
When the wind blows down the avenue and chills ya to the bone
And there’s no blue, like that old empty feeling
That leaves you with the bitter taste of knowin’ you were wrong
Feels like it’s always been, midnight in Birmingham
V 3
If I’d stayed in Sacramento
I’d be okay, I’d be alright
Or maybe if I were down in Denver
Least I could see the stars tonight
Chorus 2
But there’s no cold, like the sidewalk on the south side
When the wind blows down the avenue and chills ya to the bone
And there’s no blue, like that old empty feeling
That leaves you with the bitter taste of knowin’ you were wrong
Feels like it’s always been, midnight in Birmingham
Bridge
He called me last week from just outside Houston
To swear he was settling down
But it won’t be long til the grass looks greener
And he’s drifting to some other town
Chorus 3
Where there’s no cold, like the sidewalk on the south side
When the wind blows down the avenue and chills ya to the bone
And there’s no blue, like that old empty feeling
That leaves you with the bitter taste of knowin’ you were wrong
Feels like it’s always been, midnight in Birmingham

Old Bridges
V1
She was a small town girl, got lost in a big old world
Left her mama cryin’ on the porch
Her daddy wonderin’ what she was leavin’ for
Now she dreams of goin’ back, to a time and a place in her past
But the distance seems too far
Down a highway paved with broken hearts
Chorus
Old bridges are hard to cross
They’re seldom found when you get lost
You best not burn ‘em as you leave
On the way back home you’ll need, old bridges
V2
He Sits alone in the pourin’ rain, nothin’ to ease the pain
Lookin’ at the angel tracks
Fightin’ with the devil on his back
He’s wishin’ that he knew now, how to turn this hell around
But the river run too deep, and heaven knows just what he needs
Repeat chorus
Bridge
It’s easy not to see, that sometimes all we need, are
Chorus 2
Old bridges, there to cross
To lead us home when we get lost
best not burn ‘em as you leave
On the way back home you’ll need, old bridges

Someday I’ll Fly
V1:
Someday I’ll fly, and I’ll touch the Heavens
Sail far above, the troubles below
These broken wings, will lift me again
And I’ll sail with the wind, someday I’ll fly
V2:
Like the blink of an eye, is to forever
So to this life, is meant to be
We’re just passin’ through, and the best we can say
Is we left our mark, along the way
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
I’ll be released, by love and grace
Never again, to be held in, my demon’s embrace
Repeat chorus
Tag:
These broken wings, will lift me again
I’ll sail with the wind, someday I’ll fly

Sunderland Road
Verse 1
It was a nine hundred square foot box with singles on the side
Just a two bedroom space I spent the first part of my life
We didn’t have the finer things that others could afford
But when it came to love, we had more
Growing up on Sunderland road
Sunderland Road...
Verse 2
A porch on the back were we’d go the neighbors couldn’t see
Our little bit of country hidden in the trees
With a cheap flat top six string singin’ Willie Nelson Songs
Safe in the moment knowing were we belong
Living on Sunderland Road
Chorus
Now and then my mind rolls me back there
To that little house, on a little road, in a little town
I can see it all so crystal clear
That little girl in her little world
My heart and soul, Sunderland road
Sunderland Road...
Verse 3
Now here I am years away in a life that I call mine
Leaving home thinking there would be more out there to find
But this empty world moves so fast, it leaves me behind
Oh how I long, how I long to go back to Sunderland road
Repeat chorus
Tag
Sunderland Road
Oh how I wanna go, back to Sunderland Road
Time moves slow, on Sunderland road
Sunderland Road

A Time When There Was You
Verse 1
I was lost alone, wanderin’ this desert
Searchin’ for pleasure, solitude was my last stand
when your love rained down and surely delivered
A flood like a river, onto dry land
CHORUS
I never knew, love could be like this till there was you
A tune I can’t resist dancin’ to
With each day I’ll treasure every memory we make
And I’ll be grateful for, every bruise and every scar that led me to
A time when there was you
Verse 2
I’d say my time, been wasted before you
But then again that’s not true
‘cause each path that I’ve been on
Has lead me here, and I might have missed this
I wouldn’t know that here is, where I belong
CHORUS
I never knew, love could be like this till there was you
A tune I can’t resist dancin’ to
In the end, I’ll be sad this life is over, but til then
I’ll be grateful for, every bruise and every scar that led me to
A time when there was you
TAG
Yes I’ll be grateful for, every bruise and every scar that led me to
A time when there was you

SOME KIND OF LONESOME
VERSE 1
Some kind of lonesome, One hell of a pain
Left my heart homeless, You took everything
Some kind of heartache, Like none I’ve ever known
Unforgiving, like a cold deep winter snow
And oh, your one hell of a heartache
VERSE 2
Unforgettable, babe that’s what you are
Trapped within me, A prison without bars
I remember, just how we loved
Freely living , In each and every touch
CHORUS
And oh
You’ve gotta know
Just how
Just how baby
Just how you touch my soul
You’ve gotta know
CHORUS 2
And oh
You’ve gotta know
Just how
Just how baby
Just how you touch my soul
Why don’t you know
TAG
Some kind of lonesome
One hell of a pain
Left my heart homeless
You took everything
