Life is My Lucy

Oh I keep kicking at those laces every time
I know I’m gonna make it if I try
So I wait for good old Lucy,
there’s no way she’s gonna doop me,
gonna put it through the old uprights
life is my Lucy
she keeps holding loosely,
She pulls back from vision
and I starts a spinning
Lucy was never on my side
Get Up and at em, just another rise and shine,
gotta dust off that broken peace of mind
There she is that rascal Lucy,
always trying to confuse me,
gonna go a little different this time
life is my Lucy
she’s keeps holding loosely,
She pulls back from vision
and I starts a spinning
Lucy was never on my side
Solo
Well I’m still grinding on that old nine to five
Now I’m dying to make it out alive,
there’s no way She’s gonna move it,
this is downright abusive,
gonna pray for my Peggy to arrive.
life is my Lucy
she’s keeps holding loosely,
She pulls back from vision
and I starts a spinning
Lucy was never on my side
Go tell that Lucy that she better run and hide,
I’ll hold it while she kicks the ball this time,
oh I swear I’ll keep it steady,
go whenever you feel ready.
Oh a sweeter feeling you could never find.
Bye bye my Lucy
No more holding loosely,
I keep holding hope
But she thinks I’m a joke
Lucy was never on my side

Ride Alone

Lately, I've been feeling
broken, discarded, high and dry
love don't stick around
Been lost but never found
Lately I've been feeling left behind
The world keeps spinning,
when i'm not winning.
Night turns into day as i grind on
Thought I caught my train
but its leaving me again
guess i'll ride alone just one more time
Soon we'd finally be free
wanted to hold you in my arms
but that day never came
you went on your way
I know you didn't mean me no harm
The world keeps spinning,
when i'm not winning.
Night turns into day as i grind on
Though I caught my train
but its leaving me again
guess i'll ride alone just one more time
Mercy, come and greet me
won't you help me cut the line
that ties me to my past
and makes sure I come in last
Mercy, won't you be so kind?
The world keeps spinning,
when i'm not winning.
Night turns into day as i grind on
Though I caught my train
but its leaving me again
guess i'll ride alone just one more time
guess i'll ride alone just one more time

The Best of This
03:20
|

|
Running swiftly through the places I was grown
I know this place like it was my home
Because it was
Eyes are staring out over mountain tops
Once I get going I won’t ever stop
Here I am standing in the Precipice
of my whole life
And I swear I will make the best of this
Living till the day I die
Find my footing on this crooked craggy stone
I can feel the crack inside my brittle bones
As I roam
Heavy hearts unravel sleeves upon the ground
Steps upon the gravel make a soothing sound
Here I am standing in the Precipice
of my whole life
And I swear I will make the best of this
Living till the day I die
Years of wisdom as I make my final stand,
years of living has shown me who I am
As a man
A road untraveled as I make my final stand
The next adventure is right around the bend
Here I am standing in the Precipice
of my whole life
And I swear I will make the best of this
Living till the day I die
Here I am standing in the Precipice
of my whole life
And I swear I will make the best of this
Living till the day I die

By the Fire

She was fine as Summer wine
With hair so dark and wild
Held my hand, and loved a man
saved me like a child
Freckled face and skin of lace
The likes I’d never known
Bluest eyes that made the skies
Look as pale as snow
Oh darling
Lay me down x3
Oh darling lay me down
Right down by the fire
(Chorus x2)
Started life on the edge of a knife
Wild Fire in her veins
A lovely girl who left this world
The same way that she came
When she fell as shocked as shells
The ones who knew her name
And Though she shines inside our minds
Only coals remain
Oh darling
Lay me down x3
Oh darling lay me down
Right down by the fire
(Chorusx2)
Oh the nights been cold as hell
I Feel it in my bones
Singing for that light again
Coming from the coals
The wind will whip and rain’l fall
again this Hell done froze
They say your made of stronger stuff
So sit and take your blows
Oh darling
Lay me down x3
Oh darling lay me down
Right down by the fire (chorusx3)

This ain’t what it was supposed to be
Been waiting on something else all together
But I swore I’d bide my time
till the day I finally died
And when I did
I’d say farewell
farewell, oh farewell
Farewell to those of you I've loved
Farewell, oh farewell
I hope the love I gave you was enough
Now that I’m gone the old pipes are calling me
live long enough your bound to see all the weather
And to those I’ve left behind
I know you’ll be just fine
Hold me close
And say farewell
farewell, oh farewell
Farewell to those of you I've loved
Farewell, oh farewell
I hope the love I gave you was enough
Farewell, oh farewell
I hope the love I gave you was enough
