There’s a longing in our bones
To go wherever the winds may blow
From coast to coast and everywhere between
To taste the breeze of the salty seas
Take in a breath from the Rockies peaks
To feel the burning sand beneath our feet
You and I should hit the road
We’ll drive as far as we can go
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
We just want to live
Whoa-oh-oh
Searching for adventure and all the rest
Heads is east, tails is west
We’re living out our dreams
We’ll let our heartbeats guide the way
Explore the world and try new things
And do our best to live with no regrets
You and I should hit the road
We’ll drive into the great unknown
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
We just want to live
Whoa-oh-oh
There will be days when the road gets rough
And we might break down
But we won’t give up
Cause we’ve got dreams in our hearts
And we’ll never let them go
No, we’ll never let them go
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
We just want to live
Whoa-oh-oh

Time Stand Still
02:44
|
|||
I can smell the coffee perking on the stove
Gosh it’s good to be home
And the sound of kids out playing the yard
Warms these old bones
Time, stand still
I can never get my fill
Time, stand still
In the morning when our house comes alive
But you’re still snoring
So honey, I’ll just watch and smile and sigh
I’ve been missing you each night
As I turn out the lights
In this smoky motel room
I’ll just stare up at the roof
Count water stains for a while
And dream about you
Time, stand still
I can never get my fill
Time, stand still
In the morning, when our house comes alive
But you’re still snoring
So honey, I’ll just watch and smile and sigh
When our house comes alive
I’ll just watch and smile
When our house comes alive
I’ll just watch and smile and sigh

Be Gentle
02:44
|

Be gentle with me, I’ll be gentle with you
We had a good thing, now it’s clear that we’re through
You’ll go your way, I’ll go my way, it’s true
We’ll be fine
Be gentle with him, I’ll be gentle with her
It’s been a few years; we’re not the kids we once were
You left for college, I worked the family farm
We’ll be fine
Be gentle with yours, I’ll be gentle with mine
Heard you had twin boys, I’ve got a daughter who’s five
One day they’ll leave us, they’ll grow up right over night
We’ll be fine
‘Cause the promise we made that day
Was to love for the rest of our lives
You’ll be, I’ll be, They’ll be
We’ll be fine

Years From Now
03:14
|
|||
I’ll pack my bags and leave this town
Say goodbye to my Ma and Pa
To start a life in a foreign land
With the one I love
Years from now we’ll be sittin’ in the kitchen
Talkin’ over coffee
While playin’ footsies down below
As we grow old we’ll still kiss each other softly
Play games in the bed sheets
Bound in a love unbreakable
She walks with grace and speaks in song
She laughs with joy at the time to come
I asked her folks for her marriage hand
She’s the one I love
Years from now we’ll be sittin’ in the kitchen
Talkin’ over coffee
While playin’ footsies down below
As we grow old we’ll still kiss each other softly
Play games in the bed sheets
Bound in a love unbreakable
Storms will come
Winds will blow
But our love will always grow
Years from now we’ll be sittin’ in the kitchen
Talkin’ over coffee
While playin’ footsies down below
As we grow old we’ll still kiss each other softly
Play games in the bed sheets
Bound in a love unbreakable

Ocean
03:38
|
|||
Meet me at the docks
We’ll lay our burdens down
The moon is overhead
And no one is around town
I’ll be the shoreline by your side
Drown in the depths of your eyes tonight
Ocean
Tiptoe through the night
Fall into my arms
Whisper softly now
Weave your magic charms
I’m caught in the undertow
Of your misty stare
And I’m hooked on your salty lips
Tangled up in your wind-tossed hair
I’ll be the shoreline by your side
Drown in the depths of your eyes tonight
Ocean
I can feel the pull of the tide behind your eyes
Your waves are crashing into me
Crashing into me
Crash into me

Hemel Kom
03:41
|
|||
My days, like lonely shadows
Are cast across this land
I wither away like the prairie grass
My soul cries out in anguish
My bones in agony
Oh life me merciful to me
Hemel kom en neem me van de aarde
(Heaven come and take me from the earth)
I lay awake in the night
Tortured by my fears
Drowning in a flood of tears
I’m a smouldering wick
A bruised and battered reed
Oh Lord deliver me
Hemel kom en neem me van de aarde
(Heaven come and take me from the earth)
Jezus kom en red mij van mijzelf
(Jesus come and save me from myself)
Jezus kom en red mij van mijzelf
(Jesus come and save me from myself)
Yahweh has heard my cries for help
He will not let me down

From The Start
03:09
|
|||
I see the sunrise in the horizon
It’s a welcome sight for this wayward soul
I’ve been driving through them dark nights
But now I’m coming home
If home is where the heart is
Then you’ve always had mine from the start
I don’t wanna live a moment longer
Apart
I see smoke rise up in my rearview
Clouding up them Alberta skies
It’s from the trials by fire that I’ve been through
But somehow I’ve survived – somehow
If home is where the heart is
Then you’ve always had mine from the start
I don’t wanna live a moment longer
Apart
I smell sweet grass and canola
It conjures up days of innocence
Like riding to the Creamery down on Main Street
When we were kids
If home is where the heart is
Then you’ve always had mine from the start
I don’t wanna live a moment longer
Apart

Coal Miner
03:28
|
|||
I'm just a coal miner at heart
Working in the depths to do my part
It's damp and dark and lonely
But I know that it's only for a while
The sun comes up and I go down below
Trade in the sunrise for a candle's glow
That little flame will guide me
‘Reminds me you're beside me through it all
When I'm done my service
I'll return to the surface with a smile
Drink in the stars above me
In the night sky they look lovely
Just like diamonds
And I will pray
Thank Him for the day
And for safety
We share funny stories from our past
Hide each other's lunch pails just to get a laugh
Despite our hardened faces
We thank God for His graces all these years
When I'm done my service
I'll return to the surface with a smile
Drink in the stars above me
In the night sky they look lovely
Just like diamonds
And I will pray
Thank Him for the day
And for safety
June 19, 1914 a hundred and eighty-nine died
I was one of forty-six; I was one of forty-six who cried
I awoke in the dust and smoke
Swore I heard the angels call my name
Then I saw my wife and son
And knew the reason I remained
The starry skies lit up that night like fallen brothers
Smiling down on me
With carbide lamps shining bright
For all of us to see
When I'm done my service
I'll return to the surface with a smile
Drink in the stars above me
In the night sky they look lovely
Just like diamonds
When we're done our service
We'll depart from the surface and we'll fly
Up past the highest mountains
Into life's eternal fountains in the sky

Thief
03:08
|
|||
I’ve heard it said he came as a man
Flesh and bones, water sand
But all the while, deity
Son of man, King of kings
They said he grew in favor with
God and man in all he did
Then one day he left home
To take his place and claim his throne
Who is this man?
What did he claim?
There’s hope for a people
Who call on his name
They say he taught with authority
The likes of which they’d never seen
Filled with power in word and deed
He stills the heart and calms the seas
From Jerusalem on up to Calvary
He walked the road prepared for me
Does no one else see the irony?
A carpenter hung from a tree
Who is this man?
What did he claim?
There’s hope for a people
Who call on his name
He said he could forgive my sins
I look at him; I look at him
Beside me
Upon a tree
Beside me
I am the thief

Accept Me
05:42
|
|||
Her daddy left when she was nine
It was the worst birthday
She’s been looking for a prince since then
Lost her innocence along the way
She says "its lonely here
The sun don’t shine
Its harder when you live outside the lines
And I don’t fit in with any crowd
I've been everybody but myself
So wont you please accept me now"
She spent her youth in search of one
Who she hoped would treat her right
She took abuse at the hands of men
All the joy faded from her eyes
She says "its lonely here
The sun don’t shine
Its harder when you live outside the lines
And I don’t fit in with any crowd
I've been everybody but myself
So wont you please accept me now"
Well this prince came
He got down on one knee
And said "Rose my love
Wont you please accept me?
I know your pain and hurt
I know of searing loss
That’s why I came to earth
To seek and save the lost
So you’re found now
You’re found now"
