Independence Ridge

I been dreaming about going back home
I been thinking about turning off my phone
I gotta get away a while need to feel something more
The big city got me in a mess, got me fighting a senseless war
I need to get back to that one room shack up on the hill
Where I can whistle my day away to the song of the whippoorwill
And I can feel my spirit sing when the breeze blows by
God damn I been gone too long, I’m bout to head that way tonight
You might regret what you did when you were young
Don’t you forget where it is you’re coming from
There’s always more to life than what we choose to see
It’s not about what you do but who you want to be.
We built a little house down there on independence ridge
We didn’t have much back then but man I felt so rich
Laid back in that tall bluegrass, watching red birds flying by
There’s something special about that southern Kentucky sky
You might regret what you did when you were young
Don’t you forget where it is you’re coming from
There’s always more to life than what we choose to see
It’s not about what you do but who you want to be.

Brothers and Sisters

When I was young I was dumb
I thought everyone was good
I found out without a doubt
No one cared where they stood
Arms of a brother killing one another
Selling blood for fuel.
But gold don’t last forever
It’s fickle as a feather
Long live the ancient rule
Everyone has their own mountain to climb
What makes you think that yours is steeper than mine
What a time to be alive
Who knew virtue was a sin
We won’t grow until we know
Amnesty comes from within
Sister wont you listen
Something is missing
Somewhere we lost our way
That road goes on forever, it won’t get any better
Until all our debts are paid
Everyone has their own mountain to climb
What makes you think that yours is steeper than mine
Now I’m old and my story’s told
A thousand times before
When it’s my turn let my ashes burn
On heaven’s golden shore
Everyone has their own mountain to climb
What makes you think that yours is steeper than mine

Who Would’ve Thought

When we met I didn’t have a clue
Who would’ve thought years later I’d be singing this to you
Freezing cold lights dancing in the sky
I traveled the world just to look you in the eyes
My hands were trembling like a leaf on a limb
I’d tell you how much I love you if I knew where to begin
Forever is a long time but not long enough I’m told
We’d be worth a fortune if we measured love in gold
I got a feeing inside me that tells me I was right
To stop what I was doing and make you my wife
You ask me how I know what is best for me
Oh baby that’s easy when I see you I believe

The Garden

They built a highway went through his backyard
It ruined the garden he worked on so hard
I always drive by there on my way back home
I should stop in more often cause I'm sure he feels alone
He never left Georgia
She left him
Then faith reassures us
He'll be with her again
You can see the Alpine from the front porch
If love was a mountain you know it wouldn't hold a torch
He was always by her until her dying day
Worth more than a ruby now forever she lays
His wife's name was Hazel
She would always win
When his cards are off the table
He'll be with her again
He never left Georgia
She left him
Then faith reassures us
He'll be with her again
He'll be with her again
He will be with her again
