Blue Highway 04:08
lyrics

Blue Highway Driving down the blue highway got the radio turned on Everything is going my way and nothing’ can wrong The road is straight the sky is blue I’m feeling like I’m free There ain’t nothing I’d rather do no place I’d rather be I’m gonna ride Ride on straight to my dreams With you by my side Darling it’s all I need So look at you babe With the wind in your hair We’re cruising We’re both going somewhere Like living on the edge of a knife Driving down the blue highway Destination the time of your life This feeling can’t be bought or sold with silver gold or cash Like living in an endless summer true love in a flash You and me we’re heading out there ain’t no other way I took the leap land on my feet must be my lucky day I’m gonna ride Ride on straight to my dreams With you by my side Darling it’s all I need Chorus Look around you Love will surround you Each and every day Can’t stop stop this feeling You got me reeling Since you stole my heart away I’m gonna ride Ride on straight to my dreams

Truth Be Told 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Truth Be Told Time goes on forever Where the dirt is running red And everything is coming true Just like the old ones said The future is a mystery That you won’t find hidden in a book You got to dig a little deeper down In the dirt to take a look Sun goes down across the desert skies For fifty thousand years The past never lies Truth be told, bought and sold Caught out in a lie Some people rewrite history And watch the well run dry But there’s a highway and a memory Where the Dreaming never dies You’ll find the diamonds in the dust Underneath an open sky On a long road bound for somewhere Way off that beaten track We ride into this country’s heart So saddle up and don’t look back With open hearts and empty hands And a debt we’ve still to pay We get to fight the good fight now In the brand new hope of day Sun comes up across the open plain Fifty thousand years And a reason to change The sun will rise The night will fall This world will turn In spite of us all We stand or else we fall For anything

Booralie Road 03:49
lyrics

Booralie Road Windscreen wipers fighting rain Feeling lost and a little insane I’m so tired I don’t know who I am As I hit the bend on Booralie Road Memories pour then overflow All the things that keep us too far away But take a moment then take a breath Just look how far you’ve come Now the past is dust with every step we take Because home is where the heart is And it’s there that I belong With the night time wrapped around us like a song Cos’ you’re all I ever wanted I believe that you’re the one And the love we have is blinding like the sun I can see you at that old front gate It’s where you always stand and wait Just one more look before I say goodbye It’s so hard to be away from you I got no choice, it’s what I do And we both understand the reason why But home is where my heart is And it’s there that I belong With the night time wrapped around us Like a song Cos’ you’re all I ever wanted I believe that you’re the one And the love we have is blinding like the sun In your eyes I see Our future now And where we’ve been Just look how far we’ve come Home is where my heart is And it’s there that I belong And home is where the heart is And it’s there that I belong With the night time wrapped around us like a song Cos’ you’re all I ever wanted And I know you’re the one And the love we have is blinding like the sun

Speed Of Life 02:59
lyrics

Speed Of Life You try to live this life the best way how So listen closely to the sound of now And when the storm breaks you can stay afloat Look around Look ahead Don’t look down look up instead Here’s to the future Leaving the past Let’s make a toast to the unknown So take a breath now Slow down Winds of change are gonna Turn us around Sunrise, nightfall I’m in a better place Living at the speed of life I’m breaking down under a heavy load The world’s grinding to a halt as we implode But I see the knowing in the old folks eyes Their days are gone, but their dreams alive Even under darker skies Here’s to the future We’re leaving the past So let’s make toast to the unknown So take a breath now Slow down The winds of change are gonna Turn us around Sunrise, nightfall I’m in a better place Living at the speed of Stay inside the dotted line Trying to read the bosses mind Watching out for all the signs Steppin’ over landmines Always running out of time Isolation by design So take a breath now Slow down The winds of change are gonna Turn us around Sunrise, nightfall I’m in a better place Living at this pace So take a breath now Slow down The winds of change are gonna Turn us around Sunrise, nightfall I’m in a better place Living at the speed of life

Fallen Angel 04:58
lyrics

Fallen Angel I am a fallen angel let mercy be my guide Cause this world has been my failing And there’s nowhere I can hide This life is much too crazy still I try the best I can Some folks put me on a pedestal They just don’t understand And I believe there is a time to be forgiven And we all come home Some folks they turn to drinking to get them through this world Some people try and think too much but they ain’t ever heard Sometime’s the cards are stacked against you the seeds are never sown Just like this Fallen Angel Still lookin’ for a home I am a fallen angel much too far from grace I used to know my calling but I think I lost me place I am a fallen angel trust was my middle name There ain’t nothin’ left for me So I need someone to blame And I believe there is a time to be forgiven And we all come home CHORUS Keeping watch on mankind across the great divide Trying hard to keep these feelings inside me And it’s too much to live this life both just and fair When my own backyard is full of pain and disrepair CHORUS

5th September 03:04

5th September Let me count the ways And the nights and the days All the things that we’ve said to each other But when push comes to shove There is life there is love There is just you and me and no other The 5th of September Do you still remember The feeling that hung in the air The kiss in the carpark A promise in the dark Always And I will love you I’ll follow your heart Straight and true Wherever you go Whatever you do I will love you That we are still here Through the laughter and tears Speaks to the bond in between us And I’ll think of you And everything that you do With a love that most other people dream of The 5th of September Do you still remember The feeling that hung in the air The kiss in the carpark A promise in the dark Always And I will love you I’ll follow your heart Straight and true Wherever you go Whatever you do I will love you

It'll Rain Again 04:18
lyrics
buy track
It’ll Rain Again It’ll rain again, you can be sure But I don’t know when or where anymore And just like that song of Troy’s we were born to survive So we’ll ride it out, do what we do to stay alive And I know You and me We can weather any storm When stories fall from the pages we are torn We watch the seasons turn around and then It’ll rain again Uncertain times when our green fields turn to dust We live in hope finding patience and some trust Every farmers life will rise and fall with the tide But somewhere down the line the sky will open wide And I know You and me We can weather any storm When stories fall from the pages we are torn We watch the seasons turn around and then It’ll rain again These are the days we’re digging deep down inside These are the days we need to fight It’ll rain again, you can be sure CHORUS

A Dozen Dead Roses 03:01

A Dozen Dead Roses There’s a dozen dead roses Remind me of you And alone in the corner, the guitar you once used My hearts still broken, I’m lost and confused Lord won’t you let her come home The bottom of the bottle Ain’t no place to cry Time seems to freeze in the blink of an eye So I sit on this porch think about days gone by Lord won’t you let her come home I’m so blue without you Come unglued without you Miss everything about you Just a dozen dead roses To remind me of you I never thought I’d have to tell you goodbye Never thought that you’d be the first one to die Held the hands of our boys with a tear in their eyes Please Mama won’t you come home Every anniversary I’d bring you my gift A single red rose and a long lingering kiss Now the nights are so lonely and it’s your touch I miss Lord I can’t do this alone I’m so blue without you Come unglued without you Miss everything about you Just a dozen dead roses To remind me of you I promise you darling I’ll raise our boys well So many memories and stories to tell And i’ll fill them with your love until their hearts swell Cause I know you’re watching them too I’m so blue without you Come unglued without you I miss everything about you Just a dozen dead roses To remind me of you And every year I’ll lay down a rose My promise you’re never alone

All Along The Line 03:23
lyrics

All Along The Line Way out there Is something you can’t see So far away, far away A world rewriting history So far away, far away Lives are changing every day Dreams are lost to time But what happens to us when we can’t pay Nobody saw the warning sign This is a first, I hope it’s the last Somedays it feels we’re going nowhere fast Into the future and out of the past Yours and mine All along the line People living in a no man’s land Day by day, day by day Work dries up leaving empty hands A price that we can’t afford to pay What do we do when the money’s gone And your hope is on the street Just how long can this go on Gotta get back on our feet This is a first, I hope it’s the last Somedays it feels we’re going nowhere fast Into the future and out of the past Yours and mine All along the line Living in hope, living in fear There’s something strange in the atmosphere Wish we were anywhere else but here Just trying to get through the rest of the year These are not the things we want to see or hear again

Moving On 04:24
lyrics

Moving On He’s drinking wine in the summer sunshine Watching the breeze swaying the pines All his troubles left far behind Life’s moving on, moving on He’s worked through many nights and days Earning a dollar in a sweaty haze But today he gets to laze away He’s moving on, tomorrow he’s moving on So he raises a glass and makes a toast Cause he’s that guy who’s got the life you’d love the most And someone is waiting for him at home But he’s moving on, soon moving on He’s moving on Moving on Driving that highway with the breeze in his hair Lost in the feeling of heading somewhere He can taste that freedom in the air Moving on, yeah he’s moving along Life’s feeling good, without a care All debts are paid, got time to spare Traveling this road from here to there Moving on, oh moving on Flying through the air in God’s embrace Didn’t feel a thing just heard the brakes His sudden retreat from a life of grace Moving on, oh moving on It’s time to move on Wishes he could tell her as he watches her cry You’re the one that I love, but you’ve got to try Moving on, moving on yeah You’ve got to try Moving on You’ve got to try Moving on

I Believe (Life Only Gets Better) 03:27
lyrics
buy track
I Believe She came out of nowhere to the city Looking for the life she’d seen In some magazine She turned her back on fear and pity Thinking of a future Like she’d had in dreams Sometimes the hands of love drag you down And sometimes the truth is hard to see But I believe, that life only gets better And I believe, your heart will find it’s own way I believe, right down to the letter That the love you feel Depends upon the love you give away And she feels somewhere skies are moving To wash away the empty space That she feels inside And that could be hope up in the distance Reaching out to touch her hand And bring a change of tide Maybe the words of truth are hard to hear But don’t let your chances slip away Cause I believe, that life only gets better And I believe, your heart will find it’s own way I believe, right down to the letter That the love you feel Depends upon the love you give away And we can run but never hide From our own fate And somewhere there’s a place Where our road leads, and we can breathe And sometimes the words of love just ring so true Cause I believe, that life only gets better And I believe, your heart will find it’s own way I believe, right down to the letter That the love you feel Depends upon the love you give away
