Unstop Ability

How much more of a sign do you need
Than getting knocked back down to your knees
How will I overcome these troubles that are troubling me
Don't want to be here just lying down
Giving up and the following frown
Don't have the confidence to even have a night on the town
Standing tall even when facing down
The enemy that lives in me now
I wasn't able to see the fighter in me until I believed in unstopability
Time keeps passing on
For us all then it's gone
Then it's gone
How much more of a sign do you need
Than getting back up off of your knees
Get up ad overcome these troubles that are troubling me
I won't go back to just lying down
Reaching long ain't no quit in me now
I've got the confidence to have myself a night on the town
Standing tall even when facing down
The enemy that we fight is called doubt
Say it again ain't no quit in me now that I'm able to see the fight in me
Because I believed in unstopability
Be unstoppable

Hardly seems it's been half a lifetime pulling weight
I miss my wife again and won't get home until real late
The open road's the way I chose to make my living pay
Ain't got many friends they're all making our own way
The pavement lulls me back to speed
I drop the hammer down
The only way to stay alive
Is to keep on highway bound
She's like the bat out of hell amen
She's like the bat out of hell amen
Until the governor kicks in
Full up parking lot, I wonder if I'll even sleep
How many more of these late night secrets can I keep
Wide awake again can't you see it numbs my pain
Living desperately, losing time in the slow lane
The pavement lulls me back to speed
I drop the hammer down
The only way to stay alive
Is to keep on highway bound
Yeah
She's like the bat out of hell amen
She's like the bat out of hell amen
Until the governor kicks in

Hometown, GA

Driving in to my hometown I see the houses on the hill
Almost like they're looking down on the streets that tried my will
On the boulevard of porn and shoes and the annual parade
It's where I learned of God and booze and the first time I got laid
Over there's the barber shop that used to cut my hair
And up the road is where life was at until it got unfair
I don't get by Mama's grave to much, beside her on the hill
Is Papaw Hood He worked this town for the people and that mill
I wish that I had known what I know now
When I was growing up in Rossville
I'd probably make the same mistakes that I always did
Just like that broken down old mill
This town has seen some better days and I've been away too long
But I'm back to finish the dream I had about writing down this song
Almost like an act of God that brought me back again
Back to the place I lost my way, where the years turned black as sin
When I headed out it was drugs and hate there was never going back
I ran upstate to get away, instead my demons stacked
I spent years chasing pain replaced everything with drink
It took living death to prove myself I didn't know how to think
I wish that I had known what I know now
When I was growing up in Rossville
I'd probably make the same mistakes that I always did
Just like that broken down old mill
This town has seen some better days and I've been away too long
But I'm back to finish the dream I had about writing down this song
Things are very different now I've had some time for growing up
Fellowshipped my way to sanity but somehow I am still fucked up
It took twice the time I wasted to find out who was inside of me
I just want to make my Mama proud, I feel like she can see me
While I'm here beside her grave I ain't ashamed of where I come from
It's sometimes in the dreams I have about writing down this song
Oh, this song
It took twice the time I wasted to find out who was inside of me
I just want to make my family proud when they look down on me

Shadow

Can't go back in time and see my shadow
Can't unfeel the things I don't want to know
It hurts a thousand times my soul is rattled
I miss you so much now, I want you to know
That I try to pass the time with reasons that can never rhyme
Hoping for a light to shine on life unkind
Had a forth of life, in it together
What's with all of this stormy weather
So much crying that my eyes stay dry
Not even one of these solitary days go by
That I don't hang my head and try to keep pushing for the light to shine
I just keep on passing time with reasons that could never rhyme
Hoping for a light to shine on life unkind
Can't go back in time and see my shadow

Tao of Chase

All I'm asking for, all I ask for is a break
From this heavy pain, what kind of difference does it make
I can't let myself, I can't make myself let go
Just don't know how to
I didn't want to see you go
But I don't get to choose who I keep and who I lose
It comes in waves now, comes waves with undertow... whoa whoa
It breaks me at the knees, I just wish it wasn't so
Friends and memories and words I want to say
Could kill or comfort me on my hardest days
But I don't get to choose who I keep or who I lose
No we don't get to choose who we keep and who we lose

Wasted

I wasted ten damn years of my life
Drinks and drugs and just getting by
Many times I was spared and still don't know why
But I know that love got me through to the other side
I tried to own my heart and get right
All the things I did to cause spite
Many crimes on myself, others asking why
I asked the same of myself, never got no reply
I fought so hard against the hard times
Hit myself so hard I'd go blind
Left me lonely and afraid
Yes mistakes were made but I just kept on chasing my ego and my pride
I ain't here to judge on your life
I found grace then I found my life
I still see it going down, bodies in the ground
Some of my best friends are spirits on the wind
I wasted ten damn years of my life
Drinks and drugs and just getting by
Many times I was spared, still don't know why
But I know that love got me through to the other side
