I can't tell you how long it's been
since i've felt like this, man I'm a kid again
butterflies are stirring in my soul
if you stay here with me tonight
we'll never grow old
I wish i might, I might just wish
on our stars tonight
i made a wish and it came true
and still they shine so bright
the storms have come and gone
but you stayed here with me tonight
so i wrote you this song
twinkle twinkle
all above our head
sprinkle sprinkle
i don't mind if we get wet
kiss me love underneath this tree
sunsets will come and go
but you'll stay here with me
hey, pretty lady in blue you look so nice
i'll tell you a riddle and then you'll think I'm wise
there's no end to this eve in my sight oh no
stay here with me tonight
and we'll never grow old
I wrote you this song
so you could sing along
you could sing along

Every slow dance at the night's end
and every struggle to survive
brings me closer to returning
to the heart of life
and every new beginning
gets lost in time
like children in the summer
the end is in sight
God I love California
We could live without a care
the golden sun in the winter
a warm breeze blowing through your hair
every road to redemption
and every song that i write
remind me that you and i
are travelers, taking one step at a time
God I love California
We could live without a care
the golden sun in the winter
a warm breeze blowing through your hair
Time is running low on our fortune
tomorrow is creeping up on me
if you can't find me in California
it's cause my hearts in Tennessee

let's take the long way 'round
we don't need to rush
pick a point on the horizon
don't talk just hush
Before I met you
i was lookin' down
no destination, just you to be found
don't you know, you can be honest with me
cause being alone isn't the same as being lonely
remember when we made
animals out of clouds
we didn't fight or fuss
we rode that old van
from town to town
now it's in the back yard
cathin' rust
did you tell him anything about me?
did you beat around the bush?
did you see my face as you kissed his lips?
did your heart resist the urge?

You're still try'n to chase your dreams
put them inside a paper cup
fill it with holy water
and watch them float on up
trouble come and it clipped your wings
made it so hard to fly
come have a drink with me my friend
and i'll get you by
light through the window breaks
a ray of hope shining through
when i look in the mirror
i see me without you
trouble come and it clipped your wings
made it so hard to fly
come have a drink with me my friend
and i'll get you by
it's all inside your head
trouble come and it clipped your wings
made it so hard to fly
come have a smoke with me my friend
and i'll get you high

up in Seattle coulda fallen in love
it was cold and it was rainy
but we fit like a glove
younger and restless with nowhere to be
two caged hearts just try'na be free
walking through the empty streets at night
the city lit up when she turned out the lights
Anna Leigh
don't you understand
ain't no other woman
gonna stand a chance
Anna Leigh
this aint part of the plan
theres a great big world out there
and i'm stuck
in the palm of your hand
Out in Las Vegas for more than a week
taking shots at Beatle's Love and she's staring at me
man if i could only think of the words
id walk right up and say them to her
if only i knew she was feeling the same
i'd a walked right up and told her my name
Down 'n Louisiana, in Baton Rouge
a fair haired firestarter singing the blues
she was wile and she was fine
and she knew how to dance
i was trying not to get burned
with fire in my hands

If I followed you to the ocean
If i turned and faced the tide
If I carried my old backpack
with my life jacket inside
down down I would swim
to the bottom of the sea
turn over every shiny rock
til I found you underneath
If I made my way to you
would you be mine?
If I walked a hundred miles
along the mountain side
my feet would pay the penance
for my hearts desire
but over and over I would go
to the top of every peak
if only to catch a glimpse of you
happy I would be
If I made my way to you
Would you be mine?
If I stumbled across the desert
in search of some sign
a garden or oasis
who knows if I'd find
but on and on I would tread
the sun burning all of me
mirages feeding my eyes
and making me believe
if I made my way to you
Would you be mine?
oh you're not some treasure
to be found
or a battle I can win
a prize for fighting off a foe
or an old movies princess
no, you're a part of me that's been missing
since the day that I was born
the last line to my poem
the raging in my storm
if I made my way to you
would you be mine?

I cut my teeth on songs about God
ran around the church with my costume on
Jesus never died for a man like me
I learned that in Tennessee
Slow me down
Oh never no
I'm gonna ride this life like a rodeo
all my friends drink like fish
who even knows how long we'll live
I'm takin' bets on Karma's Kids
Have you ever bathed in old Payne's creek
have you seen the sun skip across our leaves
take a moment like slow motion
let there be no confusion
that my friend is how life is done
If there's a god you are his son
no need to go and guilt everyone
your momma loves you blind and true
oh my brother how 'bout you
oh my brothers how 'bout you
