Last Chance Cafe
I Heard the door slam, watched the wheels spin
Livin’ in a shadow some things that might have been
Don’t know where I am, don’t know where you’ve gone
Left me sitting here lost and all alone
I felt that lonesome yearning
For what once were better days
Left me in a cloud of dust
At the last chance café
You got some attitude
I thought I heard her say
The past was comin’ back
Then she drove away
Saw my life go by
With a screech of tyres
The rain that’s in my heart
Is feelin’ more like fire
I felt a sense of sadness
And the words I couldn’t say
Left me in a lonely place
At the last chance café
It’s a bout half a mile from heartache
A lifetime from lovers lane
Somewhere way out west in the wilderness
Where the nights are filled with pain
But I guess I had it comin’
There’s only myself to blame
So join me in another drink at the last chance café
The days they come and go
Some nights are good some bad
Inside I know she was the best chance I ever had
When I think of her and what we could have had
It was down to me a good love gone bad
I guess we live and learn
But that was just yesterday
When she left me here alone
at the last chance café
Now I’m living with myself at the last chance cafe

One For The Road

One For The Road
It’s a long hard road trying to build a good life
The horizon’s your home and you’re missing your wife
All the diesel and dust make you think of those things
That you yearn for most as the highway sings
And it’s one for the road two for the two of us
You’ll never know what lies ahead of us
The white line’s calling I think of my love far away
But I’ll be back in the morning and I’ll be home to stay again
The hours we spend apart are the hardest of all
It’s just me and my thoughts till the radio calls
And your voice on the wire can take me away
From the lonely miles and the long hot days
CHORUS
And the wheels they keep on turning
And the highway keeps on burning into my soul
But it’s all I know this road and me
And my mind tends to wander in the dead of the night
I can hear distant thunder though I know it’s alright
Cause this rig and the darkness bring me back home to you
I just follow my heart I can make it come true
CHORUS X 2

Fallen Angel

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

The Best Thing

The Best Thing
I’m wrapped around your finger and hang on every word
My life’s never felt so good before
And you star in all of my dreams or darling ain’t you heard
And you got the only key to my front door
Well you might call me crazy
But that’s alright with me
I promise you my everything
Just you wait and see
Baby you’re the best thing
That ever happened to me
Got my heart hanging off the moon
Tied by a string
Baby you’re the best thing
That ever happened in my world
And don’t you know I’d give you anything
As I stand here looking out across the fences and the fields
Well I get to thinking I’m a lucky guy
And a man just don’t deserve someone like you to come along
Feel like I’ve gone to heaven and I can’t think of why
And my life’s been pretty good so far
But nothing quite like this
And though my heart wasn’t up for grabs
You came and stole it with a kiss
CHORUS
And I wanna tell you all my dreams and share them all with you
And it’s all I ask it’s all I ask
Standing right beside you girl the future’s all brand new
And I’m so blessed that you can see it too
And I’m wrapped around your finger and hang on every word
My life’s never felt so good before
CHORUS

Kerosene - Acoustic

Kerosene
He’s pouring kerosene
She takes the long way home
He once thought he had a dream
Her nightmare’s just begun
He strikes that match alight
She’s walking faster now
Their future’s up in smoke
The past comes crumbling down
And he keeps walking right into the same
trap
He ain’t looking left or right
She thought love was falling into her lap
Threw it away with kerosene
Her heart has turned to stone
He’s blamed for everything
There’s no love to call her own
He’s clipping angel’s wings
While her hands are digging dirt
He’s got his fingers in the till
There’s no symptom ain’t no cure
It’s such a bitter pill
CHORUS
There’s no smoke without no fire
There’s no love and no desire
They keep walking right into the same trap
He ain’t looking left or right
She thought love was falling into her lap
Win or lose in black and white
CHORUS
