Give It Away — 2014

You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours
That the way its always been since the worlds been born
Every nations got the same interpretation of the golden rule

But you live and you learn and it don’t have to learn alot
To know that people want a little bit more of what they got
Maybe they’re needy or they’re greedy or they’re just plain cruel
Just in case you missed in school

So I’ll tell you in the words I heard somebody once say
Want to keep what you got you got to give it away
Hide it and you’ll find it wont work the way you like
Can you hear what I say

When someone does you good its good to do em the same way
Rmbr that forever when you’re going your own way
Good to be receiving but believe it or not,
You want to keep what you got, You got to give it away

4 yrs ago I was lost and alone
headed faster for disaster than a rolling stone
plowing down a mtn not counting all the folks I trampled under me

I was a loco, no hope terminal case
Till HE came along and put me in my place
Showed me how to live / gave me something I could give `/ to someone else in need
Said it would only help me

IF YOU WANT YOUR LOVE TO GROW
YOU GOT TO LET IT SHOW

You’re just like a whirlwind twrilin’ always late for something
As if the fairy tale you’re living’s gonna turn into a pumpkin
You’re so easy to love you’re so easy to love

You’re so captivating when you glide into a room
You don’t even notice no that every eyes on you
You’re so easy to love you’re so easy to love


I don’t even have to try

I don’t have to wonder why

All i want is all of you and nothing less will ever do
You’re so easy to love you’re so easy to love


You keep a scrap book full of places you would like to see
But your favorite place by far is tangled up in sheets w me
You’re so easy to love you’re so easy to love


I don’t even have to try

I don’t have to wonder why

All i want is all of you and nothing less will ever do
You’re easy to love you’re so easy to love

Sometimes i know you think you are a complicated mess
But i’m here to remind you just in case you should forget

You’re easy to love
You so easy to love

I don’t even have to try

I don’t have to wonder why

All i want is all of you and nothing less will ever do
You’re so easy to love you’re so easy to love

These hands of mine have twisted the truth
Broken the heart of another
These hands of mine stayed in my pockets
When they could have reached out to a brother

They have covered my eyes
Blinded me from the light

These hands don't seem worth the cost
Of your hands nailed to the cross
How could you love me inspite of the life I’ve been livin?
By the grace of your hands these hands..... Are forgiven

These hands of mine I’ve turned into fists
Of anger and thoughtless resistance
These hands of mine have been so gripped by fear
Keeping the world at a distance

They have covered my eyes
Blinded me from the light

These hands don't seem worth the cost
Of your hands nailed to the cross
How could you love me inspite of the life I’ve been livin?
By the grace of your hands these hands..... Are forgiven

They know not what they do
So I raise them up to you
They know not what they do
So I raise them up to you

Here goes another sad song bout a trip gone wrong down to Mexico
A mariachi band and a girl with a tan met at the Texaco
Aye yi yi fell in love with the wrong senorita.
Aye yi yi had one too many margaritas
How it all happened I don’t know.
No hablo espanol
Another sad sad song bout a trip gone wrong down to Mexico

We were heading off for spring break cab o wabo cant wait
Gonna have the time of our lives
But the coolers running low so we found a texico
And we pulled in for another bag of ice.
She was leaning on the front ooohhh she was looking good
Couple of coronas in her hand
She said “you’re new in town, let me show you around,
Mi hermana she would love to meet your friend”

Well I knew I was in trouble when I started seeing double
I was singing with the mariachi band
Maria does the Rhamba, Im singing la bamba
Is that a preacher with a bible in his hands?

I woke up in the bed theres a pounding in my head
Maria says “Buenos dias mi amor”
And there’s ring on my finger, I swear I don’t remember
Your honor is that grounds for a divorce??!

Blood on their knuckles mud on their face
They fall back to the huddle for one last play
Quarterback says, You gotta buy me some time
I can get us there boys if we hold the line

Hold the line Hold the line
Shoulder to shoulder side by side
Just give it your best, (yeah) and I'll give it mine
We can win this together
If we hold the line

Elbows on the table head in his hands
20 years on a job he never thought would ever end
But his wife says we'll make it, we're gonna be just fine
We've got each other
We’re gonna hold the line.

Hold the line, Hold the line
Shoulder to shoulder side by side
We gotta have faith, that suns gonna shine
And we'll get through this together
If we just hold the line

He's gets choked up, when the bugle plays
He remembers the battle like it was just yesterday
He knows he owes his life to the ones left behind
For their sacrifice
He gonna Hold the Line

Hold the line, Hold the line
Shoulder to shoulder side by side
In a world going crazy
In these troubled times
We got to all stand together
And we'll hold the line

Filled her up and went inside,
Some gator aid camel lights
Bought the whole pack just to have one

I don’t drink like a drank last night
Hammers pound behind my eyes
But I sing out loud with the radio on
To a Springsteen song
On the car ride home

Once I get out to the open road
I’ll throw that tie out the car window
Make damn sure I never have to see it again

Abandoned farms are on both sides
Hit the windmills take it up to 85
Cuz the cops around here are all my childhood friends
So let the memories come on strong
On the car ride home

You start thinking, sinking deep into your heart
Flipping pages of your life so far
What have you done right
What have you done wrong
Where in this world do you really belong
5 hrs to go on the car ride home

Need some sleep and one more day
The impossible and a chance to say
All the things I never got to say
As I flick another ash
I need an answer so I ask why
The best ones get taken away
I just left your stone
I’m on the car ride home

You start thinking, sinking deep into your heart
Flipping pages of your life so far
What have you done right what have you done wrong
Where in this world do you really belong
3 hrs to go on the car ride home

City lights in the distance
Reception on my phone
Been a hell of a weekend
And I feel so alone

I start thinking, sinking deep into my heart
Flipping pages of my life so far
What have I done right
What have I done wrong
Where in this world do I really belong
1 more hr to go on the car ride home
This damn car ride home.

I hear you’re leaving today
Watching you slowly back away
With every fiber of my being I am screaming baby please don’t go

I miss you so much even now
I still can see you and yet some how
The words I’m saying just about the time that you turn to go go

You and I weren’t made to be apart Ohhh noo
You and I we’re joined at the heart

A few more hrs in this tin can crate
A rental car and some interstate
I cant believe how i end up in places so far from where you are

You make me smile and so many things
The highs and lows and in betweens
And even when we are apart we’re still a part of the great idea

You and I weren’t made to be apart Oh no no
You and I I we’re joined at the heart

Cuz I was made for you.
You were made for me

Bah bah bah baa daa
Bah bah bah baa daa

You and I we’re joined at the heart
You and I weren’t made to be apart
You and I we’re joined at the heart.

My heart
My heart

You feel like an island the waves round you crash
The water is rising and you’re not gonna last
Hold on hold on tight hold fast

I’m on the horizon coming for you
You are never alone out there in the blue
Hold on tight hold on hold fast

We are pressed on every side
But we’re not giving in
We are in this together
Beginning to the end
Every things gonna be alright
Every storm will pass
So hold on tight hold on hold fast

When the way that you’re going doesn’t seem clear
When the path you were on just disappears
Hold on tight Hold on Hold fast

I’m right behind you I’m by your side
I’m in the dark Im in the light
Hold on tight Hold on Hold fast

We can make it. We can take it. We will stand our ground
Together we are strong and we’re never backing down

We are pressed on every side
But we’re not giving in
We are in this together
Beginning to the end
Every things gonna be alright
Every storm will pass
So hold on tight hold on hold fast

You are my God
You are my King
You are the holy hallelujah that I sing
You are My Savior
You are my wings
You are the first you are the last
You're every-thing

You Are My God

Tell me where would I go
Tell me who would I be
Who would I choose to follow
If You weren't leading me
If you weren't leading me

Who would be my fortress
The rock on which I stand
If you weren't here to hold me
In the hollow of your hand
In the hollow of your hand

{31:3} For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.
