Movin On 03:00
Movin On My other life, I left behind A long time ago In some troubled times, was a friend of mine no one could've known spent my days, in a dirty haze swayin between the lines put a big show on, they're aint nuthin wrong blinded by the white now I… feel so alive… and I moved on with times so tough now and people who need me no place for sorrow so rise above it all lower my head now and focus on target aint no distractions and fire when ready now I… feel so alive… cos I moved on

This Old House Four in the morning she wakes up house is quiet now the kids are grown up straightens memories hanging on the wall The timber in this old house oh the stories it could tell Pictures fading to black and white As time goes by Dads ol' back cant lift what it used to Only sees friends when hes dressed in dark suits No more laughin, too much funeral song The timber in this old house oh the stories it could tell Pictures fading to black and white As time goes by Mountain view is gone from the porch swing Highrises, billboards, and big screens Farmers field under concrete sky The timber in this old house oh the stories it could tell Pictures fading to black and white As time goes by

Maybe Tomorrow Ive been gone, way too long and this place has seen so much change they look at me with their faces drawn, and deep inside I feel their pain it used to be such a vibrant town when the money went, all the walls came down men and women who broke their backs, have lost their homes to a greedy man I remember better times, corner stores, and ball games Mr Houston chasin us out his garden in the rain if all of the good folk raise their voice everyday you know that tomorrow for the better things will change (maybe tomorrow for the better thing will change) Its a troubled time, its a heavy load many people cryin cos lies bin told is this what were gonna leave behind our kids will suffer, how will kids survive? I remember better times, corner stores, and ball games Mr Houston chasin us out his garden in the rain if all of the good folk raise their voice everyday you know that tomorrow for the better things will change (maybe tomorrow for the better thing will change)

Pissin Down 03:23
Pissin Down bring your lady down, sit beside the fire long night planned of good friends and good times dont mind if the sky is threatening grey weve been looking forward to this for days She's wrapped her arm around my leg Im laughing hard 'bout something you said cold shiver, wind in the pines yeah we all knew it was just a matter of time Its pissin down on us again, Hide beneath the trees and pass the smoke around, You'd think we'd be used to moppin' plans Now were watchin the fire try to breathe again. Retreatin now through the basement door crack a bottle of rye and smoke one more toss up the blinds and keep an eye on the sky we planned to go right through the night. Its pissin down on us again, Hide beneath the trees and pass the smoke around, You'd think we'd be used to moppin' plans Now were watchin the fire try to breathe again.

Diamond in the Rough Hanging out in the cold last night, you seemed so far away held your hand to find some warmth inside, You pulled it back and looked away I know things bin tough lately, work is slim and I bin drinkin but I swear to you I'll pull through for us, I'll never let you get away . But down inside Im not sure I trust myself, its a hell of a mountain for me to climb remember when things were simple babe didnt have a dollar, didnt need a dime if I can find a way to prove to you, theres a lot of me left to give Cos I'm a diamond in the rough a little worn and kinda tough guess its time I show my stuff Cos Im a diamond in the rough Im a diamond in the rough I want you to know how much I love you so, this family means the world to me if I dont make it to the end of the road, trust I gave every part of me Im sorry for the times you lay alone at night, wonderin if i'd be home at all stumblin in without a thought for anyone, swear I'll never go there again If I can find a way to prove to you, Theres a lot of me left to give . I'm a diamond in the rough a little worn and kinda tough guess its time I show my stuff Cos Im a diamond in the rough Im a diamond in the rough

Get back on the horse, get out there and ride If I get knocked down Im gonna get up and fight Get Back On The Horse . I hear you bin cuttin me down. Time to let it go I know the real truth behind I'll take the high road an if I see ya someplace, sometime Ill give respect to you I wont judge ya for the shit ya said, no I'll never crawl like you Everyday I hold my head high nothin to be sorry for an this boys got a real strong back Im always ready to go
