New Life 03:56
New Life I packed a few things in my car, some said I wouldn’t get that far I didn’t listen, cuz sometimes you’ve gotta listen to your heart Well I know it’s waiting, just around the bend I can almost taste it, I am closing in, so I close my eyes and dream about this brand new life. I’VE GOT NEW BEGINNINGS I’VE GOT 2ND CHANCES I’VE GOT NEW HORIZONS JUST WAITING FOR ME I’LL MAKE NEW MEMORIES I’LL HAVE NEW ADVENTURES I’LL BE HAPPY KNOWING EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT IN MY BRAND NEW LIFE I know I chose a tougher road, but something told me I should go I wanna live my life and have my story told Well it might sound crazy, but it makes sense to me I love this town, but I’ve gotta chase my dreams, so I close my eyes and dream about this brand new life I’VE GOT NEW BEGINNINGS I’VE GOT 2ND CHANCES I’VE GOT NEW HORIZONS JUST WAITING FOR ME I’LL MAKE NEW MEMORIES I’LL HAVE NEW ADVENTURES I’LL BE HAPPY KNOWING EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT IN MY BRAND NEW LIFE I watch the sunset in my review mirror, and suddenly I see life a little clearer… I’VE GOT NEW BEGINNINGS I’VE GOT 2ND CHANCES I’VE GOT NEW HORIZONS JUST WAITING FOR ME I’LL MAKE NEW MEMORIES I’LL HAVE NEW ADVENTURES I’LL BE HAPPY KNOWING EVERYTHING’S ALRIGHT IN MY BRAND NEW LIFE

Open Road 04:29
There are long days, sometimes wrong ways But I've learned to face each one as it comes And this journey is for learning and earning my place in the sun Said goodbye to the child in me There's a world out there where I've got to be It's the path of most resistance I'm on to where it takes persistence But I know how to drive and don't look back It's laid out before me now And nothing's gonna slow me down Where it leads nobody really knows It's an open road Life is full of choices and mine will have many to be seen From dreamer to achiever, a believer in the power of me I tried running from my past, only to find What it's taught me is to keep eyes open wide It's the path of most resistance I'm on to where it takes persistence But I know how to drive and don't look back It's laid out before me now And nothing's gonna slow me down Where it leads nobody really knows It's an open road It's a daily struggle here To take the chance and face my fears But wherever I go I'm never alone It's the path of most resistance I'm on to where it takes persistence But I know how to drive and don't look back It's laid out before me now And nothing's gonna slow me down Where it leads nobody really knows It's an open road

Fallen Angel 04:02
I watch the shadows fall upon your face Beautiful angel sent out of grace Let me hear your thoughts without a sound You're my survival, you lift me up when I fall down You breathed life into this hallow heart of mine Your love it sets me free from all this built up misery You help me see a different truth when I'm down on my knees Lord Please, let me keep this fallen angel you sent to me So many empty nights passed by before your touch Too many teardrops fell, they drowned out my thoughts My sky was always gray and rain fell from the stars above Until you kissed my lips, then you showed me real love You breathed life into this hallow heart of mine Your love it sets me free from all this built up misery You help me see a different truth when I'm down on my knees Lord Please, let me keep this fallen angel you sent to me Well you showed me how to smile again How to live out loud, don't fear the end Well you know my heart, you know my soul So this is love now I know You breathed life into this hallow heart of mine Your love it sets me free from all this built up misery You help me see a different truth when I'm down on my knees Lord Please, let me keep this fallen angel you sent to me

I pick up the phone to check for a tone It's been a while since it rang Another Saturday night no romance in site Love Don't Even Know My Name Ben and Amy stopped by to see if I might Go grab a beer and watch the game But I know I'd feel like a 3rd wheel Love Don't Even Know My Name I've heard that love is blind, but I'm not that hard to find My heart has left a trail of tears And I'm ready for the taking, but I've been forsaken Forgotten left out in the rain Love Don't Even Know My Name There's just gotta be that someone for me With that spark to start a flame But I'll have to be strong till he comes along Cuz right now Love Don't Even Know My Name I've heard that love is blind, but I'm not that hard to find My heart has left a trail of tears And I'm ready for the taking, but I've been forsaken Forgotten left out in the rain Love Don't Even Know My Name (Banjo & Guitar Solo) I've heard that love is blind, but I'm not that hard to find My heart has left a trail of tears And I'm ready for the taking, but I've been forsaken Forgotten left out in the I've heard that love is blind, but I'm not that hard to find My heart has left a trail of tears And I'm ready for the taking, but I've been forsaken Forgotten left out in the rain Love Don't Even Know My Name

You were six, I was four Walking to Coombs general store getting ice cream, same size as our heads I dropped mine, start to cry Rocky Road puddles floating by, you could've laughed but gave me half instead It's little things like that, that I remember You're my best friend, two for one, closer than just sisters Through the years we've stayed the same, some things never change You're the voice inside my head and a million memories Don't need to say a word I understand you better You will always be right here with me You and Dad taught me to drive that beat up 1985 Buik that smelt like grandmas shoes It only cost a hundred bucks but it was good to both of us It died the day I graduated high school Two life long partners in crime But I knew someday we'd have to live our seperate lives Through the years we've stayed the same, some things never change You're the voice inside my head and a million memories Don't need to say a word I understand you better You will always be... Through the years we've stayed the same, some things never change You're the voice inside my head and a million memories Don't need to say a word I understand you better You will always be right here with me Right Here With Me You're the voice inside my head Don't need to say a word Mmmmhmm some things, some things, some things never change We've stayed the same

Put on your walking shoes and leave this town behind It's time you grew some wings and learned how to fly It's a crazy world we're living in and there are no guarantees And I'll tell you something that was said to me There is no yellow brick road no matter how far you get from home Dreams are worth chasing, but baby don't you know No matter where you're running, no matter where you go There is no yellow brick road I guess I always knew this day would come Like a child learns to walk I knew someday you'd run You can't pack this in your suitcase, you can't hold it in your hand Just take this piece of wisdom and do the best you can There is no yellow brick road no matter how far you get from home Dreams are worth chasing, but baby don't you know No matter where you're running, no matter where you go There is no yellow brick road Some roads lead to happiness and some are just dead ends Life ain't always what it seems you've gotta trust what you beleive in There is no yellow brick road no matter how far you get from home Dreams are worth chasing, but baby don't you know No matter where you're running, no matter where you go There is no yellow brick road There is no yellow brick road

Thought I built my armour piece by piece But I never saw where it was weakest When he walked in that door that night I thought he was trouble, turns out I was right Should've just walked away Should've made a fast escape Dropped everything, turned and ran Put my heart in bubble wrap And I should've listened to my friends Or I wouldn't be in the shape I'm in I'd just go, I wouldn't stay Should've Walked Away My castel walls were built so high But they crumbled under saphire eyes Beaten down by poisened kisses If it seems too good it probably is Should've just walked away Should've made a fast escape Dropped everything, turned and ran Put my heart in bubble wrap And I should've listened to my friends Or I wouldn't be in the shape I'm in I'd just go, I wouldn't stay Should've Walked Away Saw him out just last night Same old him, same old lies Found the girl told her privately What I wish someone had said to me... Should've just walked away Should've made a fast escape Dropped everything, turned and ran Put my heart in bubble wrap And I should've listened to my friends Or I wouldn't be in the shape I'm in I'd just go, I wouldn't stay Should've Walked Away Should've Walked Away

Must be something going round cuz I can't stop smiling My heart is racing I can hear it pound, light is blinding When he walks into the room, I get weaker Starting to think he's the reason Never been in love before Never been in love before Don't know what I've got but I like it a lot If this is how if feels I want more Cuz I've never been in love before Just last week he took me to the county fair Bought me cotton candy, won a big stuffed polar bear Saw the fortune teller Madame mystery Did he pay a little extra for a spell on me? Never been in love before Never been in love before Don't know what I've got but I like it a lot If this is how if feels I want more Cuz I've never been in love before If he's the one who started this Is it transmitted through his kisses? Never been in love before Never been in love before Don't know what I've got but I like it a lot If this is how if feels I want more Never been in love before Never been in love before Don't know what I've got but I like it a lot If this is how if feels I want more Cuz I've never been in love before No I've never been in love before

Heading Home 03:11
Driving down the innerstate got one thing on my mind today Passing those city signs heading to the place where I belong 90 miles to go before I see those old dirt roads I'll hit the gas, get there fast, ya I'm heading home The black top ends before you pass the city limit sign No mercedes, rusty tractors are just fine And I wanna see golden fields blow in the breeze That's how I know I'm heading home It's been a couple years wonder if anything has changed round here I up and left so fast with my big dreams and a tank of gas I couldn't wait to see what this big ole world had planned for me I found out that when I get back I never wanna leave The black top ends before you pass the city limit sign No mercedes, rusty tractors are just fine And I wanna see golden fields blow in the breeze That's how I know I'm heading home I'm Heading home I'm heading home The black top ends before you pass the city limit sign No mercedes, rusty tractors are just fine And I wanna see golden fields blow in the breeze That's how I know I'm heading home Driving down the innerstate got one thing on my mind today

Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me! Lonely rivers flow To the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea Lonely rivers sigh "Wait for me, wait for me" I'll be coming home, wait for me! Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered, hungered for your touch A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly And time can do so much Are you still mine? I need your love I need your love God speed your love to me!
