The Time is Now 04:23
lyrics

If you fight the distance, you'll know that it's true And if you search for answers, they'll come to you We cannot explain, the future is strange But second chances come, to those who've pained I've gone down the road, faced many paths But in the end friends have always had my back Nature of disposition, this here's my mission I'm gonna get out, and finally stop wishin' And every moment that we breathe Is a chance for you and me Am I bound to learn? Will I go out and get served? This moment for you and me Is our chance to be free Find the breath we must allow Hey, yeah, the time is now! Moments that arise, can't be passed I'll hold on to the ride, and make it last My life is a go, I can't sit still Cuz If I'm not out here, tell me who will? Discipline and strength are what keeps me alive That and the courage to enjoy the ride I'm not stopping, nobody's holdin' I'm connected to the ocean, cuz I keep on flowin' And every moment that we breathe Is a chance for you and me Am I bound to learn? Will I go out and get served? This moment for you and me Is our chance to be free Find the breath we must allow Hey, yeah, the time is now!

Workingman Blues 04:55

Woke up this morning, can't find my uniform Five minutes to discipline, I'm heading out the door Boss is gonna ring my neck if I'm late again I'm doing damn near 60, coming around the bend Ooooh, I ain't complaining, no no! I got them workingman blues Lecturing like a parent, ain't nothing new to me Inspires me to write songs, specifically bluesy And I ain't gonna let this one, tell me what to do I'm handing her my notice, here's my two Ooooh, I ain't complaining, no no! I got them workingman blues Two weeks go by, and out the door I am She says you're making a mistake, well I don't give a damn I'm doing what is right for me and this is what I choose With one hand waving goodbye, I bid you all adieu Ooooh, I ain't complaining, no no! I got them workingman blues

Dreams 05:27
lyrics

Have you ever felt, that what you desired wasn't worth it in the end? Have you ever felt like you gone through hell, only to go through it again? I can attest, the feelings inside, I believe they are all true I can see, and feel the tide, the waves crashing on you No more drama, no more yelling, I don't want to see How could you stare at me in the face and say this is not for me? The passion is true, day clear as blue, I just want to be free This is my choice, please heed my voice, oh can't you see I've got dreams....(x4) 10-95 since I felt alive, those were the days I was free Those were the days, where I was amazed, I was all I could be In 20-13, life got real mean, or at the least the folks with the bills Put on a shirt, put on a tie, it was time to finally sit still But a deal no no, I did not want, I just wanted to play On my guitar, I would go hard, I would make you say Oh there is John, he's not a bum, I won't throw a fit But nothing is true, in fact it is, quite the oppo-site I've got dreams....(x4) I don't breathe, I just bleed, I try to do what I can Some people tease, some people see, most don't give a damn But I try and support, as much as I can, even if I am not well For I hope that nobody, similar to me, has to go through hell A blessing in disguise, after many rides, and I feel that I am numb Drying my eyes, try not to cry, but I don't care if it's dumb One at a time, this is my time, my heart will no longer sink And now that I've told you my whole life story I still don't care what you think I've got dreams....(x8)

The Last Straw 04:50
lyrics
buy track
I walked the field, I stood in the grass I caught my breath, so I think I can last I let the bad, overtake the good I let the problems, deny what I could This ain't the way, I won't back down This ain't the way, I won't frown I cleared my thoughts, I'm ready to begin This is my time, I'm ready to begin This is the last straw, this is the way This is the path that I follow This is the last straw, this is the way One more time I say This is the last straw!

Questions 05:27
lyrics
buy track
Why must we fight if we are tired? Why must we bother, at all? Why must we seek out the truth? If we don't want to hear what is wrong Why must I consider the idea? If the answer, ain't for me Why must I go for my passion? If the road now I can barely see These are, my questions! Won't you answer me! Why must we risk the reward? If playing it safe was the path Why must we take any risks at all? If we know that we won't last Why must we run if we are scared? If the answer ain't for me Why must we beg for the silence? If the road now I can barely see These are, my questions! Won't you answer me!

Light Up My Sky 05:25

You said that it would be easy You said I shouldn’t be afraid I know you want to please me But I just can’t stay Do you ever feel that leaving Can be the best thing to do? Because honey I ain’t seeing No more future with you And I walk down this lonely road With barely any eyes to see Just one question for you Would you, could you please.... Oh baby, light up my sky Carry me through the night Oh baby, light up my sky Make me feel alive Now I walk down the road With no direction in mind Honey I feel so alone But I must leave you behind I’ll find my own way I swear If it takes the rest of my days And if you do still care Then just hope I find my way And I walk down this lonely road With barely any eyes to see Just one question for you Would you, could you please.... Oh baby, light up my sky Carry me through the night Oh baby, light up my sky Make me feel alive One year later and I’m here I told you that I was afraid My mind is now so clear And I know where my heart truly lays I thank you for all that you did For it is truly nothing I can replace I’ll close the chapter on this book And I’ll find my way And I walk down this lonely road With barely any eyes to see Just one question for you Would you, could you please.... Oh baby, light up my sky Carry me through the night Oh baby, light up my sky Make me feel alive

Broken Record 03:51

I've been sayin' For nearly 10 years That everyone who wonders "what if" Will never feel clear I've been sayin' You won't feel clear So, you find an outlet! I've been sayin' Don't ya know? If you don't pursue your passions You'll never know I've been sayin' You won't know So, pursue your passions! It's been said Now you go do It's been said Now it's old news It's been said Now it's old news So, now it's old news! I've been sayin' For nearly 10 years That everyone who wonders "what if" Will never feel clear I've been sayin' You won't feel clear So, you find an outlet! (Repeat x3)

Who I Am 07:07

Try to tell me What to do Ain't gonna sit with me Try to tell me What to say (what to say) That ain't gonna fly Try to dictate My life for you Not a chance in hell Try to tell me What to do Ain't gonna sit with me! I won't be Who you want me to be So many years I've shied away From being who others sold to me So many years I've lived a life That I felt wasn't mine So many years I've gone down the road Of a path that I wasn't meant to travel So many years I've shied away From being who others sold to me I won't be Who you want me to be
