Nothing Stops This Train

Nothing Stops This Train
Nothing stops this train from hurtling down this track
No force of nature can get in the way
I hear that whistle blow and there’s no turning back
Full steam ahead or there’ll be hell to pay
Through heat and the dust
Night into day
Straight to your heart
I will find a way to get back home
Cause nothing stops this train
Worked my way across the desert west of here
Settled in the big smoke for a time
Found that girl she shook my world then disappeared
Now I can’t seem to get her off my mind
Through heat and the dust
Night into day
Straight to your heart
I will find a way to get back home
Cause nothing stops this train
She rattled me just like those steel wheels upon this track
Stoked the fires black coal heart burning bright
Bells were ringing screeching brakes pressure pushing back
All bets are off when true love takes a bite
Cause nothing stops this train
Through heat and the dust
Night into day
Straight to your heart
I will find a way
Through heat and the dust
Night into day
Straight to your heart
I will find a way to get back home
Cause nothing stops this train
Nothing stops this train from hurtling down this track
No force of nature can get in the way

Live Another Day
Well I got too many guitars
Think I might need one more
I’m gonna look to the future
It’s gotta be better than before
They can’t see the sense in it
I can’t pay the rent and it hurts me every single day
So we take another step and we’re
Still not ready yet and we play
To live another day
Well you might think I do nothing
While you’re working nine to five each day....but
I write the soundtrack to your life
So you know the right words to say
And maybe you can’t see the sense in it
I can’t pay the rent and it hurts me every single day
So we take another step and we’re
Still not ready yet but we play
To live another day
To live another day
And I will spend all night and day
Looking for the perfect way
To make her fall in love today with you
That’s just what I do
They can’t see the sense in it
I can’t pay the rent and it hurts
me every single day
So we take another step and we’re
Still not ready yet and we play
Baby they can’t see the sense in it
I can’t pay the rent and it hurts me every single day
So we take another step and we’re
Still not ready yet and we play
To live another day

Something Good

Something Good
I get through every other day
Knowing your heart’s a world away
I’m still trying to work out what to do
About me, and you
We weren’t expected to agree
We have the right to see things differently
Cause when it comes down to the line
You’ll see, in time
So tell me why do things have to be this way
Tell me why does life have to hurt this way
Tell me why is love such an intricate game
When I’m trying to hold on
To something good
And so I speak these words of love to you
Cause in the end it’s all that I can do
Oh, I’m missing you
So tell me why do things have to be this way
Tell me why does life have to hurt this way
Tell me why is love such an intricate game
When I’m trying to hold on
To something good
Walking down this avenue
Not knowing where to turn
So tell me why
So tell me why do things have to be this way
Tell me why does life have to hurt this way
Tell me why is love such an intricate game
When I’m trying to hold on
So tell me why do things have to be this way
Tell me why does life have to hurt this way
Tell me why is love such an intricate game
When I’m trying to hold on
To something good

Putting Up Fences
Is there nothing that I could say
That would change your mind
And every moment of every day
I’m reminded of the things that were left behind
And it doesn’t matter
Who was wrong or right
Cause I’ll make it good tonight
But you been puttin’ up fences
And I been breakin’ them down
Trying to find the high ground
I been stuck in the trenches
Sinking deeper down
Think i’m lost and found without you
It's funny how everything can change
In just one heartbeat
Now i’m back on the road to find out
And there’ll be no rest no I’m not gonna sleep
Well it doesn’t matter
Who was wrong or right
Cause I’ll find you there tonight
And you been puttin’ up fences
And I been breakin’ them down
Trying to find the high ground
I been stuck in the trenches
Sinking deeper down
Think i’m lost and found without you
Alright
Now there must be a way
I can make you stay
Tonight
I won’t ever let you down ... again
And it doesn’t matter
Who was wrong or right
Cause I’ll make it good tonight
You been puttin’ up fences
And I been breakin’ them down
Trying to find the high ground
I been stuck in the trenches
Sinking deeper down
Think i’m lost and found
And you been puttin’ up fences
And I been breakin’ them down
Trying to find the high ground
I been stuck in the trenches
Sinking deeper down
Think i’m lost and found without you
You been puttin' up fences baby
I've been pulling them down, pulling them down
You been puttin' up fences baby
And I've been pulling them down, pulling them down
Yeah

Country Boy At Heart

Country Boy At Heart
You can drive me round in a long black limousine
And I could send you roses by the score
You can try to keep me in the
style you think I should be seen
But you can’t try to keep me safe
by locking my front door
Sometimes I got to get away
I miss you when we’re apart
Girl I’m just a country boy at heart
Yeah I’m just a country boy at heart
Well I can try to fit into the city way of life
And we could live in luxury and style
But at the end of every working week
I start to feeling fine
Cause I’m taking myself out bush just for a while
Chorus
Sometimes I miss that big blue sky
Midday sun shine in my eye
Sometimes I’m just a thousand miles away
When I’m alone I think of you
And feel those good times coming through
I don’t know whether I should go
I wonder whether I should stay
SOLO
Well I know you’re not too taken with the
peace and all the quiet
And I know that you prefer your city ways
But baby when I go walkabout
Everything gonna be all right
And honey you know i’ll think ‘bout you
Just most everyday
Sometimes I got to get away
I miss you when we’re apart
Girl I’m just a country boy at heart
Sometimes I got to get away
I miss you when we’re apart
You know I’m just a country boy at heart
Hey I’m just a country boy at heart

Love Gone Wrong

Love Gone Wrong
You can drink all the whiskey you want to
You can smoke every last cigarette
You might hurt in the night, pray that you’ll be all right
But the heartache isn’t over yet
And if I hurt you then I’m sorry
I just don’t know what else I can say
It’s just love gone wrong
You can hear all about it in this song
And when love’s gone wrong
Boy you walk that road alone
You can the right words when you need to
You can whisper when the time seems right
It’ll cut her pride, hurt so bad inside
And you’re still by yourself tonight
And you’ll regret it, that’s too bad
You just should have taken more pride
It’s just love gone wrong
You can hear all about it in this song
And when love’s gone wrong
Boy you walk that road alone
And I remember that night
But don't remember the situation
I only know it’s not right
That we should end this way
It’s just love gone wrong
You can hear all about it in this song
And when love’s gone wrong
Boy you walk that road alone

Way Back When

Way Back When
He watched those highway signs
But he still couldn't get her off his mind
Jumped in the truck left his world behind
For a while
He can't forget her
These things are never easy
And he'll never
Make those mistakes again
Can't regret the
Dreams they had together
When she loved him
Way back when
She set his heart aflame
Now there’s no one but himself to blame
Wishing he could go back there again
To better days, better days
CHORUS
When their love was new
And there weren’t nothing he could do
To stop those feelings inside
Though he can’t forget those days
Time goes on and fades away
The dreams and the memories
Are washed out with the tide
CHORUS

Highway 9
It was such a long time ago
If memory serves me well
And I got nothing here left to show
Except stories I could tell
Highway 9 on the desert road
Wind blowin’ through your hair
Moon shines cross the empty sky
En route to who knows where
One way ticket with a lonely heart
Takes me back in time
And we both found our destiny
Out on highway nine
You can call it a twist of fate
Somewhere far from home
And I still hold a candle for you
Whenever I’m alone
When half a second can change a life
One word can break a heart
But sometimes words just ain’t enough
When fate keeps you apart
One way ticket with a lonely heart
Takes me back in time
And we both found our destiny
Out on highway nine
And you keep tuning in
No matter where I’ve been
Sometimes nobody wins
Ever ever no no no
It was such a long time ago
One way ticket with a lonely heart
Takes me back in time
And we both found our destiny
Out on highway nine

Storms

Storms
It took a lifetime to get here
‘cause I was someone else
Got too hard to live the lies
you tell yourself
Broke the ties that confined me
Learned to love again
And every word you say reminds me
of who I am
And every time I look at you
I know the reason why
I went through storms to find you
Slam those doors behind you
Don’t let the past define you
Turn the page and don’t look down
There’s nothing safe and nothing certain
Shut it down and draw the curtains
We can change and stop the hurting
And when you're around
You lift me up and now I stand on solid ground
Turned my back on those who loved me
Hit the road where I could hide
Found my place and now you’re standing by my side
And everything they see with their eyes
Isn’t always what it seems
I guess the truth was closer to somewhere in between
And every time I think of you
I know the reason why
CHORUS
I can feel and dream and I can be me
I can be the man I never knew
And nothing in my past can ever hurt me
Now I belong and I feel strong
When i’m here with you

I Believe

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

Jeremiah's Ghost Town

Jeremiah’s Ghost Town
Sitting at the station
Where the trains rolled by
Chill in the air as the tired sun lay down
He thought of how this town had been
As he gazed at the church that would see no sin
And so many secrets buried deep underground
The picture hall now a haunted house
Full of the ghosts of Jeremiah’s past
The old train yard where they had their first kiss
Long hot days and sweet cool nights
That river flowed right through their lives
But summer ain’t the same
In a place like this
They’d gather at the Goose and Hound
to wash the dry day down
Where the stories came and went
and some were true
Of rodeos, musters, cattle rustlers
Carpet baggers and two bit hustlers
And travel weary souls just passing through
Then they stole the water,
In the middle of a drought
Big money came drove the farmers out.
And the Mines dug it up,
then let them down
Now it’s Jeremiah’s ghost town
There’s old man Pete at the general store
The Wainwright’s, always open door
And their dozen dirty barefoot towhead kids
And the tin roof house where he was born
Just rust and dust and so forlorn
But her spirit still lives on in this old town
Well you can’t see the future with your head in the sand
All these people never fit their plans
They took everything away and washed their hands
Of Jeremiah’s ghost town
