Am I the only one who knows how you got that scar?
you tell me secrets about who you were and who you really are
you don't pretend to try to be someone you aren't right now
and someday, somehow, it'll all work out

You come sit by me for awhile, and tell me all your dreams
you want to travel far away and see everything in between
but you don't want to be alone, this is just for now
because someday, somehow, it'll all work out

if you just believe like you believed in you and me
and everything that you need will be yours again

I know its hard to be apart after everything we've known
we've seen the years just pass away like the rolling of a stone
but memories will be replaced with better ones than now
because someday, somehow, it'll all work out

You'll find someone to hold onto like you have never known
you'll see the world like in your dreams, but with a family of your own
and I'll be fine, I'll find my way, there's nothing to talk about
and someday, somehow, it'll all work out.
Written on the last day of my road trip that took me from Appleton, WI to New Orleans, LA. I wrote this while one of my best friends navigated the traffic through St. Louis, MO.

I'm a Hell-bound highway traveler
Just to get out of town just a little bit faster
The way you rev me up to just to watch me go
Don't need no diamond ring, don't need to save my soul

Because things ain't the way they were before
I may have changed the locks, but I'll still open my door
So if you want to go for a pleasure ride
Just come on in on the passenger side

I want you so bad

Only time will tell where my heart should lie
Does it belong to you with your ******* eyes?
I might be addicted, but not insane
But your lips still take my breath away

I want you so bad
A song I wrote with my band, Amberstein.

Why won't you let me in?
I just want to see what's under your skin
I'm trying to see what's on the inside
so no longer will you have to hide

I'm not blind, I see what you see
and I'm not scared, to just be me
Why won't you let me know where to find you?
I just want to find you

These memories from long ago
I never said that I told you so
You always wanted things to go your way
All you had to do was stay

I'm not blind, I see what you see
and I'm not scared, to just be me
Why won't you let me know where to find you?
I just want to find you
A song I wrote with my former band, McInnis in 2007.

Spread those wings and fly away
no turning back for you today
these thoughts of you, they fill my mind
I think about you all the time

One last chance to breath you in
One last thought of what might have been
I'll make the best of what's to come
I'll wait for my angel

To spread those wings and fly away
there's no turning back for  you today
these thoughts of you they fill my mind
I think about you all the time

Feelings like this will never fade
I know you weep when I see the rain
I'll wait for you to come back to me
I'll wait for my angel

To spread those wings and fly away
there's no turning back for you today
thoughts you they fill my mind,
I think about you all the time
A song I wrote in 2007 with my former band, McInnis.

He wakes up and gets a move on
One more day with his broken boots on
All the lines across his face,
reminders of the times he lost his place,
I don't know how he's still alive

A man, a lonesome traveler
Wayward son, fate-tempting gambler
He dies, but not today
after all these years, still no one knows his name
God only knows how he survives

He still recalls, all the things he left behind
and there's blood on the tracks, but at least its mine

Silhouette, he still walks tall
Sun at his back, to blind us all
No more tears fall from his eyes
Who are you to claim a portion of his pride?
Don't be the hair that breaks his back

He still recalls, all the things he left behind
and there's blood on the tracks, it might be yours next time

He still recalls, all the things he left behind
and there's blood on the tracks, but at least its mine
A song I wrote with my band, Amberstein.

I'm going through changes
don't know when I'll be back again
I don't mind to tell you
that I don't know where I belong

I wasn't born this way
Nobody ever told me what to say
I know the truth and I've seen your lies
So listen close,
so I don't have to tell you twice
That I see what you see, because I'm not blind

I'm not a prophet, I'm not a ghost
I'm not a preacher, not even close
I'm just a man with a dream and you're in my way

I'm tired of you
You're tired of me
I'm tired of people who think they know who I should be
I'll find myself,
and then you'll see
A soul searcher can't be told who he should be

I'm not a prophet, I'm not a ghost
I'm not a preacher, not even close
I'm just a man with a dream and you're in my way

I'm not a master, I'm not a child
I'm not a puppet, I'm a little wild
I'm just a man with a dream and you're in my way

Don't tell me who to be
until you fix yourself
I don't mind my broken life
I have a dream that I'll
follow until my day is done
I don't mind being alone
A song I wrote with my band, Amberstein.

In the end, I'll long for you
I'll run into your arms

After all, you've always been
the light that leads me home

You've opened up the door for me
and now I see what I've become because of you
and everything you've done for me, in this life and the next

I want you to know,
I want you to know that I love you
I want you to know,
that I'll miss you so

I won't pretend, to sing the blues
when all I know is gold
and after all the seasons change,
this life I do not know

You've opened up the door for me
and now I see what I've become because of you
and everything you've done for me, in this life and the next

I want you to know,
I want you to know that I love you
I want you to know,
that I'll miss you so

When all has come to end
I'll long for you my friend

I want you to know,
I want you to know that I love you
I want you to know,
that I'll miss you so
A song I wrote with my band, Amberstein.
