1. Coastin’

Never known much about western style
Live a little further than a country mile
From the Broadway singers and the radio dial Coastin’ to the ocean

Sunlight ripplin’ ‘cross the windy seas
Wild hair waving in the salty breeze
Little slice of heaven on the beach in the trees Coastin’ to the ocean

Hostin’, toastin’
Riding a wave of devotion Making the most of the moment Coastin’ to the ocean

Hangin’ by the water cold beverage in my hand Feel your toes sinking in the Carolina sand
Tip another back, sing along with the band Coastin’ to the ocean

Rolling over mountains making music with my friends Used to play the Exit, now I’m hanging at the End Let’s talk about tomorrow ‘stead of way back when Coastin’ to the ocean

Hostin’, toastin’
Riding a wave of devotion Making the most of the moment Coastin’ to the ocean

Roastin’, toastin’
Overflowing with emotion Making the most of the moment Coastin’ to the ocean
Coastin’ to the ocean
Coastin’

2. to you my friend

Still putting one foot in front of the other And trying to find a tune
Life is a song we keep singing along Even when it ends too soon
And I’ll say goodby to my brother Some day I’m going to see him again It’s never too late to celebrate
The time we have ’til then
So this one’s to you my friend

Keep moving, in time
With the rhythm, and a rhyme Bringing love, by design
It’s sublime, sublime

Keep pumping, the beat
Feet on the floor and your ass out the seat A smile, on repeat
And we’ll try, ‘cause I’m

Still putting one foot in front of the other And trying to find a tune
Life is a song we keep singing along Even when it ends too soon
And I’ll say goodby to my brother Some day I’m going to see him again It’s never too late to celebrate
The time we have ’til then
So this one’s to you my friend

Ears, are ringing
Can’t hear Prine without thinking
About you and the way we were singing Paradise, Paradise

Life’s, worth living
Giving up taking for giving Tell me, what’s missing
And I’ll be obliged, ‘cause I’m

Still putting one foot in front of the other And trying to find a tune
Life is a song we keep singing along Even when it ends too soon
And I’ll say goodby to my brother Some day I’m going to see him again It’s never too late to celebrate
The time we have ’til then
So this one’s to you my friend

1. Gotta Get Out of Town

Gotta get out of town
Before you drive me crazy
Gotta get out of town
Before it all comes down
Gotta get out of town
Gonna need some separation
Cause I can’t work it out
With everyone around

Whatever was
Is a lost cause. I’m moving on
Don’t follow me
Just set me free, and I’ll be gone

I gotta get out of town
No one here can save me
Gotta get out of town
Where nothing is the same
I’m gonna figure it out
Somewhere out on the highway
Gotta get out of town
Before the sun goes down

The past is gone
The future’s all along the way
Can’t look back
Just roll my window’s down and pray
I gotta get out of town

I gotta get out of town
Doesn’t matter where I’m going
Far away from the crowd
Where no one knows my name
Gotta get out of town
Gotta hold on to the moment
Gotta get out of town
Before the sun goes down…

2. A Little More Rock n Roll

I remember the days
It doesn’t feel that long ago
Fringe jackets and cowboy hats
And reverb on the drums

Take me away
Can you play me something that I know
A memory that will take me back
To where I come from

Can you remind me
How it was in the 90’s
Turning the dial ‘til you finally
Find your song on the radio
Something ‘bout drinking ‘til you forget her
Electric guitars make everything better
Back then, country was a little more rock n roll

Don’t get me wrong
The new sound is growing, on me
But it just don’t
Hit me quite the same

Now I’m making a song
Don’t know where it’s going
But it sounds familiar
Like an old flame

Kind of reminds me
How it was in the 90’s
Turning the dial ‘til you finally
Find your song on the radio
Something ‘bout drinking ‘til you forget her
Electric guitars make everything better
Back then, country was a little more rock n roll
Back then, country was a little more rock n roll

And all my friends
Sing along to the sound of the coming of age

Can you remind me
How it was in the 90’s
Turning the dial ‘til you finally
Find your song on the radio
Something ‘bout drinking ‘til you forget her
Electric guitars make everything better
Back then, country was a little more rock n roll

Can you remind me
How it was in the 90’s
Turning the dial ‘til you finally
Find your song on the radio
Something ‘bout drinking ‘til you forget her
Electric guitars make everything better
Back then, country was a little more rock n roll
Back then, country was a little more rock n roll

3. Wanna Feel Something

Tonight we ride again
Just like we did back when
We were best friends, and it would never end

So set the torch alight
And roll into the night
Voices echoing across the sky

Wanna make you feel something
A little better than usual
Don’t you wanna feel something
Honest and beautiful

And with the peace of years
All the reasons disappear
Nothing matters long as we’re still here

The names are handed down
The spirits passed around
Flowing through us and into the crowd

Where the lights
Burning bright
So we rise
Everybody comes alive

Wanna make you feel something
A little better than usual
Don’t you wanna feel something

Wanna make you feel something
A little better than usual
Don’t you wanna feel something
Something so brand new to you
Wanna make you feel something
Better than you’ve ever felt before

4. Let Your Soul Light Shine

Everything I ever tried to be
Shaken out and stripped away from me
Makes you question everything a man believes
It’s hard to know who to call a friend
Knock me down I’m bouncing up again
How much further can my body bend

Lord I can’t carry it alone
Trying to walk that line
Take my pride and bury it
Let my soul light shine
Let your soul light shine

Got a lot hangin’ over me
It never goes how you think it’s gonna be, but you
Can’t wait for “someday” to be free
Looking for a better way to live
A lost soul’s gonna stay adrift
Until you find something yourself, you got nothing to give

Lord I can’t carry it alone
Gonna cross that line
Take my pride and bury it
Let my soul light shine
Let your soul light shine

Let your soul light shine

Wheels spinning in the salty air
Write it down, let me take you there
Always looking for something we can share

Lord I can’t carry it alone
Trying to walk that line
Take my pride and bury it

Let my soul light shine
Let your soul light shine
Let your soul light shine

5. Takin' a Ride (feat. Wyatt Durrette)

When the lines on the road, are putting lines on your face
That’s time tellin’ you that there’s no time to waste
Keep standing your ground, even when you don’t belong
Always hang a right when you get to wrong

Taking a ride wherever it leads me
Keeping it light and taking it easy
Forever around if you ever you need me
You can’t fly ‘til you let go

You’ll never shoot yourself in the foot from the hip
If you never have the gun in your hand
There’s no getting around, this ‘aint a round trip
Die young as late as you can

Taking a ride wherever it’s leading
Keeping it light and taking it easy
I’ll be around if you ever you need me
Where it all ends nobody knows
Aint no wrong way believe me
You’re doing it right if you’re still breathing
Like a bird on a wire facing a breeze
You can’t fly ‘til you let go
You can’t fly ‘til you let go

There’s good in everything, but it don’t last long
Anything that’s any good is good as gone

Take a ride wherever it’s leading
Keeping it light and taking it easy
I’ll be around if you ever you need me
Where it all ends, Hell nobody knows
‘Aint no wrong way believe me
You’re doing it right if you’re still breathing
Like a bird on a wire facing a breeze
You can’t fly ‘til you let go
You can’t fly ‘til you let go

6. Madelynn Claire

Madelynn Claire
Angels are all around you
Curling your hair
Living inside your smile

You’re filling the air
With uncontrollable laughter
When nobody cares
I’ll still be there after

When you throw your arms around my neck
It chokes me up and my eyes get wet
My heart is in pieces

So young and so fair
Taking the ribs from the older kids
Whatever they did
Seemed to roll right off your shoulders

Something you said
Comes to me when I need it
Say it again
Let it warm my heart

When you throw your arms around my neck
It chokes me up and my eyes get wet
My heart is in pieces

7. I Like Your Everything

You like Italian suits
And my Wingtip boots
And my old t-shirt
The way I kinda flirt
But one look at you and my heart took wing

I like your everything
I like your hair dos
And your high heel shoes
And your skinny jeans
And all the in-betweens
I like your sloppy kiss
And all the things it brings
I like your everything

There isn’t anybody like you, you’re a one of a kind
Everything about you blows my mind
Take my heart throw away the key
You set me free

I-I-I like your everything
I-I-I like your everything
If you could be The Queen, I wanna be your King
I like your everything

You’re a hot mess
In your fancy dress
And a baby doll
In your overalls
But the G string
Makes the whole thing swing
I like your …

There isn’t anybody like you, you’re a one of a kind
Everything about you blows my mind
Take my heart throw away the key
You set me free

I like the words coming
Outta your mouth
You think of all the things
I never thought about
I like your pretty voice
And all the songs you sing
I like your everything

I-I-I like your everything
I-I-I like your everything
I like your sloppy kiss, and all the things it brings
I like your everything8.

Explain That to a Heart

My heart won’t let go of you
I try and try to tell it to
You can tell the rest of me why we fell apart
But how do you explain that…how do you explain that to a heart?
What do you say? Where do you start?
Seems nobody ever gets that far

I wonder, Oh I wonder
What it would be like
He wrote it down, but he later found, that he only thought about it when she wasn’t around
To be under, the covers
With you every night
It’s like a hive where you never arrive, you keep buzzing around it ‘til you’re barely alive
And I dream, dream about you
There’s a place where love is safe, and she knew it from the moment that she saw his face
That I could live, live without you,
He knows someday that he’s gonna die, but he won’t stop living if he keeps on trying, but

My heart won’t let go of you He can’t stand it
I try and try to tell it to
You can tell the rest of me why we fell apart There’s no reasons
But how do you explain that…how do you explain that to a heart?
What do you say? Where do you start?
Seems nobody ever gets that far

It’s over, yeah it’s over
I’m gonna be just fine
Late night at the Inn Seaside, with a bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
This beating in my chest has got the best of me
It’s messing with my mind, all the time
Even I, realize I’m infected

My heart won’t let go of you It’s injected
I try and try to tell it to But you wrecked it
You can tell the rest of me why we fell apart
But how do you explain that…how do you explain that to a heart?
What do you say? Where do you start?
Seems nobody ever gets that far

And I dream, dream about you
There’s a place where love is safe, and she knew it from the moment that she saw his face
That I could live, live without you
He knows someday that he’s gonna die, but he won’t stop living if he keeps on trying, but
My heart won’t let go of you It’s on lockdown

I try and try to tell it to He can’t hear you
You can tell the rest of me why we fell apart There’s no reasons
But how do you explain that…how do you explain that to a heart?
What do you say? Where do you start?
Seems nobody ever got that far
But how do you explain that…how do you explain that to a heart?
What do you say? Where do you start?
Seems nobody ever gets that far
How do you explain that to a heart?

9. Like Make Believe

Save me tonight
Night falls and I’m dreaming
Change my mind
Keep me from leaning

My mind can run away without you
But my hands only imagine

Come home to me
I know I shouldn’t but I need you baby
You’re so real to me, and it’s
Like make believe without you

Take me tonight
All day I’ve been waiting
Turn out your light
Keep the fire burning

My mind can run away without you
But my hands only imagine

Come home to me
I know I shouldn’t but I need you baby
You’re so real to me, and it’s like
Make believe without you

Open your heart while I breathe you
Remind me there’s nobody but you
We drift apart but I know you
And I wanna show you, and hold you

Come home to me
I know I shouldn’t but I need you baby
You’re so real to me, and it’s like
Make believe without you

10. Growing Wild

I can be your sunshine baby
I can be your drop of rain
Summertime reveals the flower
Autumn brings the hurricane

I see you growing wild
Like mother nature’s child
There’s a lifetime in your smile
And nothing in your way
Skyward bound
Never touch the ground

Climb across the forest baby
Make your way across the land
Free fall off the canvas maybe
Only hold on where you can

I see you growing wild
Like mother nature’s child
There’s a lifetime in your smile
And nothing in your way
Skyward bound
Never touch the ground

And I see you growing wild
Like mother nature’s child
There’s a lifetime in your smile
And nothing in your way
So don’t look down
Skyward bound
Never touch the ground

11. Open up Lucille

Can you turn it up a little bit Lucille
I’ve been singing your song ever since it started
Everybody’s spinning like a color wheel
We’ll be rockin’ all night with your friends from the birthday party

Everybody showed up around 2am
Left the bars when the lights came on
No one’s ready to go home
I’m not ready to go home
Doesn’t anybody wanna go to bed?

Will you open up a little bit Lucille
Pretty little head full of secrets
Something that you’re scared you might reveal
I’ll love you for it anyway, cross my dying heart

Everybody wants to see the full bouquet
Plant impatiens and you wait for Spring
I’m not ready to go home
And though I’ll miss the aroma
I don’t think I’m ever comin’ home again

Can you sing a little song for me Lucille
I’ve been waiting all night to hear your voice
There’s something bout the way it makes me feel
Like a man who should run while he can but he has no choice

Everybody’s gotta hum that melody
Can’t avoid when it sticks to you
And all across the nation
No one’s turning the station
Doesn’t anybody wanna have this dance?

12. Wishing (Acoustic)

At least you tried
That’s more than anyone around you
And if you lied
Would it fade out of your memory

Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you’ll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I’d be fine

And if you died
Would they gather all around you
And if you cried
Would it wash away the misery

Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you’ll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I’d be fine

It’s worse at night
Spirits flying all around you
Without the light
They can take away your sanity

Wishing it all away from you
Wishing is all you’ll ever do
Wish I was here with you
Then I’d be fine…I’m fine
