Song Description

This song was inspired by a friend of mine who is trapped in a not so happy marriage. As badly as she wants to go, she hasn't. When she heard of my upcoming trip to Nashville she wanted to go. So this song is a combo of her feelings and mine.

Lyrics

Sittin? here soaking up the sky
Thinkin? ?bout you and it makes me cry
Without a sound, I left town
Like a circus clown
On a one way train
I finally see the road in front of me
Bound for TN

Got noone left who knows my name
There ain?t no chance I?m gonna see your face
Hit my knees ?Dear Lord? I prayed
Cuz times like this just make me wanna say
I have spent my life waitin? for mine
Waitin? on time

Tryin? Hard and gettin? nowhere
Feet on the groung, head in the clouds
So many dreams we share together
Flyin? high and feelin free
Bound for TN

Stood in the cold and the pourin? rain
Nobody every heard me complain
Itried. I cried
All I have I leave behind
I?m Headed down the road that?s meant for me
Bound for TN

Just me and this guitar here on my knee
Bound for TN

Lyrics

WE?RE BORN INTO THIS WORLD RUNNIN?
KEEP THE GROUND MOVIN? UNDERNEATH OUR FEET
WE?RE ALWAYS SEARCHIN? FOR SOMETHIN?
NEW AND JUST OUT OF OUR REACH

AND ITS SO EASY
TO GET SO BUSY
TRYIN? TO GET AHEAD
SOMETIMES WE FORGET

ITS NOT THE FINISH OF THE RACE
OR THE PLACE WHERE WE ARRIVE
IT?S THE VIEW ALONG THE WAY
THAT MAKES IT ALL WORTH WHILE

ITS NOT THE 1ST BREATH THAT WE TAKE
OR THE LAST ONE THAT WE BREATHE
IT?S THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN

TIME IS SOMETHIN? THAT WE RATION
EVERYDAY WHEN WE PLAN OUT OUR LIFE
AND THEN WE CURSE THOSE SMALL DISTRACTIONS
OH, BUT THEY CAN BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

?CAUSE THEY REMIND US
HOW PRECIOUS LIFE IS
AND HOW IT CAN PASS US BY
IF WE DON?T STOP TO REALIZE

ITS LAUGHIN WITH A FRIEND
THE WARM SUN ON YOUR FACE
A SMILE FROM A STRANGER
ITS LISTENIN TO THE RAIN
ALL THE SOUNDS OR THE SILENCE
ITS ALL THOSE LITTLE THINGS
IT?S THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN

Lyrics

I TOLD MYSELF
I?D GET OVER YOU
BUT THAT?S HARD TO DO
ITS LIKE YOU?RE HERE
EVEN THOUGH YOU?RE GONE
?CAUSE Z FEELIN?S LINGER ON

THAT REMINDS ME
DID I TELL YOU I STILL LOVE YOU
AND THAT I STILL THINK OF YOU
CONSTANTLY
THAT REMINDS ME
HOW CAN I MOVE ON WHEN
EVERYDAY IM HAUNTED
BY USED TO BE?S

I?VE TRIED TO FORGET
BUT I HAVEN?T YET
?CAUSE EVERY WHERE I LOOK I SEE
SOMETHIN? THERE THAT REMINDS ME

I STILL KEEP
A NOTE YOU WROTE
SO LONG AGO
AND A GILDED FRAME
HOLDS YOUR PHOTOGRAPH
AND IT TAKES ME BACK

Lyrics

Stack of Bills on the Kitchen Table
stack of bills 2 feet high
every time I get a dollar in ,y pocket
that dollar bil grows wing and fllies
but he says darlin even when the money's gone
Love Goes on
love goes on
Got a car sittin in the driveway
hunk of plastic's bout to bleed us dry
can't even do 60 on the highway
can't even pass the mailman by
but he says it don't matter if it gets me home
Love goes on
love goes

Love goes on and it don't look back
even when it falls arart
Love goes on down a one way track
and it ends right where it starts
Love goes on

All his friends say he could've done better
He didn't have to live a life this hard
He fell for me an dlook at where it got him
A stack of bills and a Japanese car
He just smiles and tells them all they're wrong
Love goes on
love goes on
