about

Thank you to everyone who nudged me to make a new solo album. There are some songs that have been neglectfully unrecorded, like “Born To Die” and “Kissing Ghosts” - which many of you have heard me play live, along with some other old school country heartbreak songs. I'm so happy with how it has turned out and it was really beautiful to get back in with a live band and record.

Thanks for choosing to support the making of this album by buying/pre-ordering it!

Track Name: Tell The Truth: I'm sorry that it hurt so much
I'm sorry that it was my touch
That scarred your soul

Baby did I go to deep?
Did I make you weep
When I cut that hole

When did you change?
You were soft and sweet
Now you're black and blue, like me
Where did you go?
Were you lying all this time
With the child still inside?

Why don't you just tell the truth?
Why don't you just tell the truth?
Oh you were never gonna stay

I'm sorry that it hurt so much
I'm sorry that I choked you up
With all my pain

Guess you found someone new
to bandage up your wounds
but it's all the same

When will you change?
How long you gonna drain that well
Put it on someone else
When will you know,
You were lying all this time
With the child still inside?

Why don't you just tell the truth?
Why don't you just tell the truth?
Why don't you just tell the truth?
Oh you were never gonna stay
Track Name: It's Alright: Consoling me while i talk all night
You may think you are wasting time
But in between the lines we see
I am yours
I am yours

Take all of me
Even when it's ugly
I am yours
I am yours

Keep holding me like you do
Let me know it's alright
Let me know it's alright

Take all of me
Even when it's ugly
I am yours
I am yours

Keep holding me like you do
Let me know it's alright
Let me know it's alright
Just Let me know it's alright
Let me know it's alright
Baby, Alright
Baby, Alright
Track Name: Born To Die: Don't waste this precious time
we're all born to die
All we have is now
So choose to live it well

Wherever I go you are always on my mind
Wherever you are you are never left behind

Don't Sleep All Day Baby Jay
It's time to wake
Breathe deep my dear
Your chariot awaits
And may you always live in peace
Just let go and feel the breeze

Wherever I go you are always on my mind
Wherever you are you are never left behind

People may say you're a man
Who'll never change
But you're not the man
You were yesterday
And may he rest in peace
Just let go and feel the breeze

Wherever I go you are always on my mind
Wherever you are you are never left behind
Don't Sleep All Day Baby Jay It's time to wake
Breathe deep my dear Your chariot awaits
Track Name: Bruised Up, Broken Heart: How Old Is Your Broken Heart
And that dream that fell apart
How long have you been holding on
To that moment that's so far gone
How Old is your bruised up broken heart

Your eyes no longer gleam
They're dimmed by your fading dreams
While you're still holding on
Clutching to memories

How Old Is Your Broken Heart
And that dream that fell apart
How long have you been holding on
To that moment that's so far gone
How Old is your bruised up broken heart

Time's etched upon your face
and you keep hoping for a break
But you're such a stubborn soul
That's never gonna quit

How Old Is Your Broken Heart
And that dream that fell apart
How long have you been holding on
To that moment that's so far gone
How Old is your bruised up broken heart

Life's taken a hammer
to your heart once again
It's cruel how fate will have it's way
dancing on your grave

How Old Is Your Broken Heart
And that dream that fell apart
How long have you been holding on
To that moment that's so far gone
How Old is your bruised up broken heart
Track Name: Kissing Ghosts: When you swept me off my feet
I think we'd both agree it was a foolish thing
A kiss that passed by like a cloud
Cause When I come around
You're Nowhere to be found

I think I made a mistake
Cause I'm feeling so strange

I must be kissing ghosts
I must be kissing ghosts
The Way You Disappear
I must be kissing ghosts
I must be kissing ghosts
The Way You Vanish When I'm Near

When I fell into your arms
I was caught off guard And gave you my heart

I’m not the type to fall in love
So hard and fast That I lose my path

I think I made a mistake
Cause I'm feeling so strange

I must be kissing ghosts
I must be kissing ghosts
The Way You Disappear
I must be kissing ghosts
I must be kissing ghosts
The Way You Vanish When I'm Near

Ooooh an apparition
Ooooh a ghostly vision
Cover me in shadows
and pray for love to carry me home

I must be kissing ghosts
I must be kissing ghosts
The Way You Disappear
I must be kissing ghosts
I must be kissing ghosts
The Way You Vanish...
Track Name: Fortunes of War: After the war and now that they've sent us homeward
I can't help but feel on my own
No one can see what this conflict has done to
The minds of the men on their way home

Scarred for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded
So how can I face this torment alone
Vivid scenes and recurring nightmares
I lay there and sweat until it gets light...

Fortunes of War
Fortunes of war
no pain anymore

People say "Don't worry"
that time's a perfect healer
That the nightmares will come to pass
Can't hear what they're saying
Living in my own world
Feeling trance like all the time

I hear voices in my head
Could I really be going crazy?
At night the visions seem so real
Do you care if you live or die
When you laugh are you really crying
You're not sure what's real anymore
You're not sure what's real anymore

Fortunes of war
Fortunes of war
no pain anymore
You're not sure what's real anymore
You're not sure what's real anymore

Sometimes when I wake I feel my spirit's broken
Do I have the strength to carry on?
I feel my spirit's broken I feel my spirit's broken
