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 04:51
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 03:30
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 04:12
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 03:08
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
