LYRICS
I remember that night
you fell asleep under the truck when it got late
in the morning When I pulled out to look for you thank god I rolled out straight
Nothing was ever too much
doing flips off the roof
itâs like you were cheating death left and right, but you still wanted proof
i was thinking about you just yesterday, how you were gonna stop by on your way
i had some things that I wanted to talk you about, I had some things that I wanted to say
But now i stand here in your flannel shirt, your mom couldnât bear to give it to goodwill
Itâs not even cold out but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
now no oneâs gonna break our fall
We laughed until we got drunk, we drank until we fight
Then weâd laugh again over my fat lip, while you were icing your eye,
but you got behind the needle, chasing the next high
And then you managed to escape it, you got that job and you married your wife
i was thinking about you just yesterday, how you were gonna stop by on your way
i had some things that I wanted to talk to you about, I had some things that I wanted to say
But now i stand here in your flannel shirt, your mom couldnât bear to give it to goodwill
Itâs not even cold but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
now no oneâs gonna break our fall
Break our fall, break our fall")

LYRICS
Youâll never believe what I heard just now
Carried by the rain
It was the wind from where all the willows grow
She was yelling your name
Like a bird caught in a curtain
This temporary entanglement may lead to an open sky
Oh youâre looking for the perfect pardon,
But there aint gonna be any man anymore
Cuz if itâs windy like in the morning and we are all just lost at sea
Were gonna fight
For in the end our only right
Is to live and love and work and be
Tell me once again
Said the wind to the fleeing boy
She told him a tale of a man gone wrong
Said keep on running child
Keep on running boy
Like a bird caught in a curtain
Like a bird caught in a curtain
She was always more than certain
That this temporary entanglement may lead to an open sky
Oh youâre looking for the perfect pardon,
but there aint gonna be any man anymore
Cuz if itâs windy like in the morning and we are all just lost at sea
Were gonna fight
For in the end our only right
Is to live and love and work and be
But if itâs all the same
Iâd Like to go on
And leave the missing mountains to themselves
All the cards that you opened up, will only tell you which way to not go
Oh youâre looking for the perfect pardon,
That man that told you that, the man he done died, and there ainât gonna be any man anymore
Cuz if itâs windy like in the morning and we are all just lost at sea
Were gonna fight
For in the end our only right
Is to live and love and work and be.")

LYRICS
There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
That likened him to all the stories he told
Of past battles won and lost and legends of old
A seasoned veteran in his own time
On the battlefield he gained respectful fame
With many metals of bravery and stripes to his name
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
And always urged his men on
But on the eve of a great battle with the infantry in dream
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning
He awoke from the night just to tell what he had seen
And walked slowly out of his tent
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
It was a grey morning and they all wondered how they would fare
Til the old general told them to go home
I have seen the others and I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting
I have seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me where Im going
Take a shower shine your shoes you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now you are forgiven
But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
The general said he would do his own duty bout would not extend it not further
The men could go as they pleased
Not a man moved their eyes glazed straight ahead
Til one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight
I have seen the others and I have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting
I have seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me where Im going
Take a shower shine your shoes you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now you are forgiven
Ya got to be got to got be to got to be hey")

LYRICS:
Well the first days are the hardest days
Dont you worry any more,
Cause when life looks like easy street
There is danger at your door.
Think this through with me
Let me know your mind,
Wo, oh, what I want to know
Is are you kind?
Its a buck dancers choice my friend
Better take my advice.
You know all the rules by now
And the fire from the ice.
Will you come with me?
Wont you come with me?
Wo, oh, what I want to know
Will you come with me?
Goddamn, well I declare
Have you seen the like?
Their walls are built of cannonballs
Their motto is dont tread on me.
Come hear uncle Johns band
Playing to the tide
Come with me, or go alone
Hes come to take his children home.
Its the same story the crow told me
Its the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come
And like the wind you go.
Aint no time to hate
Barely time to wait,
Wo, oh, what I want to know
Where does the time go?
I live in a silver mine
And I call it beggars tomb;
I got me a violin
And I beg you call the tune,
Anybodys choice
I can hear your voice.
Wo, oh, what I want to know
How does the song go?
Come hear uncle Johns band
By the riverside
Got some things to talk about
Here beside the rising tide.
Come hear uncle Johns band
Playing to the tide
Come on along, or go alone
Hes come to take his children home.
Wo, oh, what I want to know
How does the song go")

LYRICS:
Oh, do you know theres a place you can go
Its a place that is weathered and worn
But you cant stay there long
Like the plow and the stone
But you can wait if youd like to be born
Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by mans greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt
The old oak tree watches us like we were bees
Just flitting and frittering in the golden
Everybody knows we all died yesterday
And the day after that we were born
Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by mans greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt
I worry my mind, I worry my mind
I worry my mind til I lose all the time
Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by mans greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt
Leading us back to the dirt
Leading us back to the dirt
