Antonella
Darling, I love you so
But I fear I must go
I just don't think I can stay here no more
So please, come with me
Antonella
Darling, I don't know what to say
But I fear I can't stay
And I just don't wanna leave things this way
So please, come with me
I'll take you out of this town
I'll take you over and around
And every sight, every sound
That we find will be ours just to keep
I don't know what to say
Just let me love you, I pray
And I won't ever leave
Antonella
Darling, I don't know what to do
Cause my heart's here with you
And I just don't wanna say that we're through
So please, come with me
I'll take you out of this town
I'll take you over and around
And every sight, every sound
That we find will be ours just to keep
I don't know what to say
Just let me love you, I pray
And I won't ever leave

Happiness is a loaded gun
There should be laws, but I know of none
Wave it around and man you'll have some fun
But when it backfires watch the whole world run
Carry it with you carefully
Or you'll wind up wounded like me
Happiness is a loaded gun
light as a feather but the guilt weighs a ton
Hold on tight and you'll protect all your friends
But when the chamber's empty you're alone again
Carry it with you carefully
Or you'll wind up wounded like me
Happiness is a loaded gun
So lock it up and don't you show no one
I did one time to this beautiful girl
She shot me down and made off with the world
Carry it with you carefully
Or you'll wind up wounded like me
So aim it high, shooting stars up there
Burning bright in the cold, crisp air
No one knows and no one cares
That they've been dead for thousands of years
Carry it with you carefully
Or you'll wind up wounded like me

Sink or Swim
04:12
|
|||
You said yourself a time or two
The only way two people knew
If their love was real, was to try
I know there is no guarantee
If we'll work it out or be saying goodbye
But I don't know what I would do
Without your love and without you, it's true
I'm aching just to see you again
Oh just take me out into the deep end, babe
I'm ready now, it's sink or it's swim
'Cause love'll take you under, make you wonder
If you're coming up at all this time, this time
And love will lift you up and get you stuck
up in the clouds so high, so high
And even though we're scared and not prepared
You know we still gotta try
Well, I've been waiting for you darling
Yes and soon I will be holding you tight
Inside that perfect heart you hold
I see a woman strong and bold
And so I anchor myself to you
And I'm completely at your mercy
Babe and even if it hurts me
I'll be true
While you're an ocean width away
And my tonight is your today, but hey
I'll be ready when I see you again
Oh, just take me out into the deep end, babe
I'm ready now it's sink or it's swim
'Cause love'll take you under, make you wonder
If you're coming up at all this time, this time
And love will lift you up and get you stuck
up in the clouds so high, so high
And even though we're scared and not prepared
You know we still gotta try
Well, I've been waiting for you darling
Yes and soon I will be holding you tight
There is no one I'd rather have
Or that I feel I need so bad
Or that I'd spend my last cent on
There are so many things I'm not
But all I am and all I've got is yours alone
But I don't know just where to start
I swear the hardest freaking part for me
With anything's always to begin
Oh just take me out into the deep end, babe
I'm ready now, it's sink or it's swim

Heartfelt Prayers
03:02
|
|||
Maybe someone out there cares
And feels the pain in my heartfelt prayers
There's only so much a man can take
Before he falls into temptation and his own heart breaks
This pain, oh, it's all I have
I said this pain is all I have
Maybe someone out there knows
Love's under cover working in plain clothes
I feel it pouring forth from everywhere
If I was drunk enough I'd tell you now
But I don't dare
Because this hope, oh, it's all I have
I said this hope is all I have
I feel it now, yeah, it's in my grasp
We'll fall in love and that love will last
And now it's part of our repertoire
It's no wonder there's no other
Because I know who you are
But this pain, oh, it's all I have
I said this pain is all I have
Maybe someone out there sees
The blackened forest for the charcoal trees
The flaming future's really come this far
And now my heart is truly heavy
For whoever you are
But this breath, oh, it's all I have
I said this breath is all I have

I miss you so much, darling
My every thought's of you
There's not a moment in my day at all
When that statement isn't true
But you're a hemisphere away
And I'm back home in Tennessee
I miss you so much, darling
And I wish you were here with me
I miss you so much, darling
I miss all the little things
The way you look in the morning
And the joy that it brings
Even though you're miles away
I know we'll work things out somehow
I miss you so much, darling
And I wish you were here with me now
Oh, I miss you so much, darling
And it tears my heart in two
When I think about the distance
That is keeping me from you
I know this isn't what we planned
But just know that for while we're apart
I miss you so much, darling
But you're right here in my heart

Debonair
02:55
|
|||
Off the cuff, unprepared
You're always walking on air
You said the devil may care
But that you don't, no, you don't
Debonair, I wish I could be that debonair
But my mind works overtime
Weighing the facts
And it just can't relax
Like a sailor with a storm-born prayer
But I'm trying to be
A little bit more debonair
Our love
checks all the above
Patient and fair
insouciant where and when it need be
She's lovely and rare
And she helps to feel
Just like I'm really debonair
Oh I have to admit
It's so nice just to get
To feel so debonair

Lawless Border
04:43
|
|||
I'd been afraid of love for nearly most my life
And I never knew if I'd find a wife
I guess my own set of fears always kept me
Just at arms length
And I swore to myself I would not repeat
What the previous men in my family tree did
When they cut off our branch to graft it to
Soemthing that never could be
But there you were
With a beauty and grace that made my poor heart stir
You made me rethink my entire life
I just want to have you right here by my side
Oh here you are, oh Mia Stella, my beautiful star
I love all you are, it's true
I don't know what you see in me
But I'm glad you do
I'd understand if your dad don't like me much
'Cause I've got no money or career as such
But what I've got is my heart and my word
And I give them to you
If you can understand my need to write and sing
I can scratch out a living somehow eventually
From these haphazard songs of mine
I began to refine
When I finally found my muse
But there you were
With a beauty and grace that made my poor heart stir
You made me rethink my entire life
I just want to have you right here by my side
Oh here you are, oh Mia Stella, my beautiful star
I love all you are, it's true
I don't know what you see in me
But I'm glad you do
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared
But this time I think that my poor heart just might
Finally be prepared
When love comes through
There truly is no place to hide
Along that lawless border
That forms when two hearts first collide
But there you were
With a beauty and grace that made my poor heart stir
You made me rethink my entire life
I just want to have you right here by my side
Oh here you are, oh Mia Stella, my beautiful star
I love all you are, it's true
I don't know what you see in me
But I'm glad you do

Pour Me Another
04:19
|
|||
Pour me another
Glass of your finest wine
'Cause I just need
To forget her name tonight
Poor me, cause I just can't seem to get this right
Although I've tried
And I'll take another
To cut the pain I feel tonight
Cause all I have is gone
And it's just no use anymore in trying
Poor me, cause she just went and left me
Now I'm too numb to cry
You'll soon discover
That all your love is a packaged lie
And there's no one there
At the end of the line anymore
To hear your cries
So poor me, cause i just can't seem to get this right
Although I've tried

Wedding Song
05:10
|
|||
I guess I've always had something to say
But I held my breath when you walked in the room
The world just stopped and when you spoke to me
The world resumed
So many memories we've shared since then
Every one I have held on tight to keep
Like the night that I first kissed you
And then held you as we both fell asleep
There's nothing you can say or do now, baby
To make me change my mind
I've known life with and without you
And your love's still by far the best thing a man can find
And wherever we may go
I just want you to know
That I love you more than you could
Ever, ever, ever know
Well you've been with me a few years now
But I still hold my breath when you walk in the room
You're the one I've always longed for
And you're still the one I want to hold on to
And it must be hard to live with me
And my often somewhat out there point of view
But darling it's the great joy of my lifetime
Just to know that my future's here with you
There's nothing you can say or do now, baby
To make me change my mind
I've known life with and without you
And your love's still by far the best thing a man can find
And wherever we may go
I just want you to know
That I love you more than you could
Ever, ever, ever know

Your Love is My Home
03:01
|
|||
Seems like we've tried for so long to beat this
This fear, yeah, it's still here
But let's be clear I'm not leaving
Cause your love's become my home
I said your love
It is my home
This love is enough to keep me going and grounded
I've roamed far alone but now I've finally found it
It's your love that's my home
I said your love
Is now my home
We both have hope in the good things that bind us
Hold tight, babe, we just might
Put this old world behind us
It's your love that's my home
I said your love
It is my home
Some day I may just go on and leave it
Behind babe but don't mind
Cause you know where I'll be returning
To your love, it's my home
I said your love
Is now my home
