Born To Roam 03:44
Use me up til my bodies no more I’ll use my legs til my muscles have grown sore Never have I seen a sight so sweet Than a lonely solo man who's on a lonely solo street When I'm alone I was born to roam When I'm alone I was born to roam   My voice will shake when the sun is coming down And from my lips I’ll hear an unfamiliar sound If you hate me then I sure as hell hate you Cause I’m a man without a border and there’s nothing I won’t do When I’m alone I was born to roam When I’m alone I was born to roam And I know that there’s a reason that I never thought of leaving with you And If I had a second chance I’d steal another dance from you I’m not an angry man, but with you I’m not who I am You make it feel like a sin, cause I’ve been known to give a damn Stay with me til all my hair goes gray And I’ll make good with all these pretty things I say When I'll give and I'll get down on one knee 'Cause I’m saving all my loving for someone who’s loving me When I’m alone I was born to roam When I’m alone I was born to roam

Of The Sea 04:14
Pretty girl in the colour of the sea What can I do so you’ll notice me? Should I sing for you? Or rely on my charm Are you here on someone else’s arm? I was much too dumb to notice  There was even something wrong ‘Cause I’m not happy, when I am strong Can we learn to laugh again? Will we separate now and then? ‘Cause I miss your smile and when you listened closely  When I spoke of things so grandiosely  I was much too dumb to notice  You were listening to my song ‘Cause I’m not happy, when I am strong Yes I know that you feel overwhelmed 'Cause the people you like don’t know you so well There’s this part of me that wants to see you succeed  So the people ‘round here can see what I see So the people ‘round here can see what I see I was much too dumb to notice There was even something wrong 'Cause I'm not happy, when I am strong

There's this girl that I know who puts braids in her hair Her heart's in the south when there's frost in the air She don't know if she's staying, she's destined to leave But she likes my playing so I want to believe She puts on his records and closes her eyes Her hands move in motion to the sounds of his cries And she knows he is broken but she'd still have his ring Cause she'd pick up his pieces as long as he sings She'd pick up his pieces as long as he sings Oh why, oh why do I trust this heart of mine? It's been fooled in the past and I don't think it's different this time Oh why, oh why, do I want to believe? My hands are too spoken and my love is naive The wine is much sweeter than the bread that is served And she is much kinder than the man she deserves Cause she knows all the songs her mom used to play Hoping to sing to her weakness one day Oh why, oh why do I trust this heart of mine? It's been fooled before and I don't think it's different this time Oh why, oh why, do I want to believe? My hands are too spoken and my love is naive Men only suffer when they think alone A blackbird in a cage would like nice on his thrown But there are men who best me who know birds are to fly And he is the dirt, where I am the sky He is the dirt, where I am the sky

You should be happy you took my name  You should be glad I did the same There’s a reason the sun goes down And it always comes back around  There’s a season the trees go white There’s a reason a dog will bite It’s not a crime for a man to fold When the lonely nights are cold I gave you my heart and you put it on the mend How could you race if you can’t see across the bend? Don’t you feel like we’ve come too far Your words are so deep that your pen leaves a scar  Do you remember when I was the one? I was handsome, second to none People came far to hear me play But I had nowhere left to stay I gave you my heart and you put it on the mend How could you race if you can’t see across the bend? Don’t you feel like we’ve come too far Your words are so deep that your pen leaves a scar

There was this man who saw me Cause he liked my cowboy chords He was desperate to know Where I’d play before I said, I run with the wolves And I forget about the times She said that she don’t love him And she wants to see her mine So I signed on the dots to sell all the words I knew Everything I do, I do for you. You found a boy to take you He doesn’t like the things you love Doesn’t call you pretty Or say you are enough Now, there is dirt on my hands But sole on my feet And I’m just looking for Something concrete I’ll make you very happy, I’ll make you feel brand new Everything I do, I do for you. I’ll be your fire when the nights are cold and grey I’ll be your blanket when the warmth has gone away You take what’s yours and know that I’ll be fine Cause your heart is safe, right here right here next to mine I am known for my songs But cursed for my name Thank god you met me And you don’t feel the same When this song is money This guitar is more than gold You won’t to worry ‘cause My lovin’ don’t grow old I promise to be gracious and I promise to be true Everything I do I’ll do for you.
