Fine by me 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Fine by Me I’m walkin’ in the woods Just where I wanna’ be The land’s so still up here And that’s just fine by me I’m standing in the rain Storm clouds crying openly I can feel their pain And that’s just fine by me I turn my face to the wind Wish I could move that free But there’s so much more to come And that’s just fine by me I’m feelin’ like a part Of the scenery And that’s just fine by me Driving through the snow White as far as my eye can see I embrace the cold And that’s just fine by me Rollin’ through the hills Always new terrain to see So many ups and downs And that’s just fine by me On a mountain top So far from all I see I am feelin’ high And that’s just fine by me I’m just another part Of the scenery And that’s just fine by me Through the winds and through the rain Through the snow and hard terrain Through the highs and every low We all fall sometimes, you know But I tend to land on my feet Right where the earth and sky meet And that’s just fine by me Now, the leaves are gonna’ fall Nothing left upon a tree You never can have it all And that’s just fine by me Feel my feet on the ground The grass it grows on me The years pass over me And that’s just fine by me That’s just fine by me That’s just fine by me That’s just fine by me That’s just fine by me

Violinernet 03:13

Violinernet Like a violin upon her chest She deftly plays the Internet In bed each morning As the light shines through If nothin’s ventured Nothin’s gained No uncovered stone remains Off to an adventure, something new Hey why don't we go Down to San Antonio We’ll run all day, on the Riverwalk And they ain’t never seen A night like Ours in New Orleans We found a Sinner, Left behind a Saint And she reads my like her favorite book No innuendo is mistook Searching all my pages For a different view If nothin’s ventured Nothin’s gained No uncovered stone remains Off to an adventure, something new If you’d love to play The harmonica today There’s a festival that’s custom made for you And we won’t be comin’ down Until our souls land in Chi Town And you get to feelin’ happy on the blues We trip on weirdoes, art and music Festivals, and fools, and muses Down Under to Mile High And all between And she reads my like her favorite book No innuendo is mistook Searching all my pages For a different view If nothin’s ventured Nothin’s gained No uncovered stone remains Off to an adventure, something new Like a violin upon her chest She deftly plays the Internet In bed each morning As the light shines through If nothin’s ventured Nothin’s gained No uncovered stone remains Off to an adventure, something new Off to an adventure Something new

Buy I can buy a hilltop mansion With running servants at your feet Buy the knick-knacks in your window To look down on the neighboring street Buy you into social circles That you need to rise above I can buy the world twice over But I can’t buy your love I can buy a fleet of limos A different driver for each one Buy a yacht and private jet plane So you can always chase the sun Buy you an Island in the tropics But it would never be enough I can buy the world twice over But I can’t buy your love I can create Any world you covet Dress you up As who you want to be But the only thing beyond my reach Is the one thing you’ll never give to me I can buy a treasure worthy Of your Ruby lips and emerald eyes Buy you the rarest of diamonds A rock of legendary size Buy you every creature comfort Things you’ll never run out of I can buy the world twice over But I can’t buy your love Your Love Your Love

Fly 05:16
lyrics

Fly I learned how to fly But I never learned how to crawl I’ve been up so high so long That I never learned how to fall But I’m learning now I’m learning now I’m learnin’ now I’m learnin’ now I put myself upon a perch Well before it was my time And felt the urge to try my wings But failed to discipline my mind You set me up for a crash But only taught me how to soar And I flew through an open window When you shut and locked the door I learned how to fly But I never learned how to crawl I’ve been up so high so long That I never learned how to fall But I’m learning now I’m learnin’ now I’m learnin’ now You might have singed my feathers But my wings you couldn’t melt And I found a way to fly Upon this cold wind I was dealt Wounded right to the heart I keep reliving your attack How could someone look me right in the eyes While they stabbed me in the back? Maybe it wasn’t really all because of you But I know your part was by design So I became accomplice to And victim of the same damn crime Sometimes it’s hard to get an answer But one or more of the following is true I’m gonna’ crawl or walk or run my way on back And fly again in spite of you I learned how to fly But I never learned how to crawl I’ve been up so high so long That I never learned how to fall But I’m learning now I’m learning now I’m learnin’ now I’m learnin’ now I’m learnin’ now I’m learnin’ now Oh, I’m learnin’ now I’m learnin’ now And you’re learnin’ now You’re learnin’ now You’re learnin’ now Yeah, you’re learnin’ now You’re learnin’ now

Hangover Gone 04:20
lyrics

Hangover Gone You say, “Excuse me darlin', may I buy you a drink?” Never heard a better pick up line, I don’t think So, I warm to your offer, and we knock ‘em down Then, we’re off and runnin' for the next round and so it's Bloody Marys in the mornin' There'll be cerveza by five And in between, the Rum and Cokes Always help us to survive It's a full time ambition You've gotta’ nurse it a long But if you do, I'm a-tellin' you That it’s Hangover Gone I'm talkin' bout... Hangover gone Hangover gone She skips town when you come around And our good times start rollin’ on Hangover gone Hangover gone She’ll be back in a while, but you keep me in denial And it’s hangover gone Now, it’s early in the evenin’ Just as the sun goes down, That’s the perfect time to grab the salt and lime And really get to foolin’ around And right as I get to wonderin’ If the end just might be in reach, You kick up this bender, and yell, “Hey, bartender Whip up some sex on the beach” I'm talkin' bout... Hangover gone Hangover gone She skips town when you come around And our good times start rollin’ on Hangover gone Hangover gone She’ll be back in a while, but you keep me in denial And it’s hangover gone ‘Round about seven We flew to gin heaven ‘Till some shots made us crash Back to earth by eleven And it was ‘round about midnight We made our first mistake The drinkin’ got us thinkin’ And we started to share our heartache Well, it was foggy in the mornin’ And the sun was slow to rise But it was clear to me, though it was hard to see Through my bloodshot eyes That you had run off and she’d shown back up Now, the days just keep draggin’ on But come Friday night, you’ll have me feelin’ alright When it’s hangover gone We’re talkin' bout... Hangover gone Hangover gone She skips town when you come around And our good times start rollin’ on Hangover gone Hangover gone She’ll be back in a while, but you keep me in denial And it’s hangover gone She’ll be back in a while, but you keep me in denial And it’s hangover gone

Yesterday 04:13
lyrics

Yesterday You were just a young man All of seventeen When you traded your ambition for her dreams You may have built a house But you never built a home Instead you built a staircase to her throne It’s a lot to swallow When you look at your tomorrows Through the lens you put on all your yesterdays And you find you are the only one to blame The only one to blame Livin’ ‘neath the gun, man To meet her want and need And paying with your youth to feed her greed Now the litter of your past Tends to creep into today Reminding you of all you threw away It’s a lot to swallow When you look at your tomorrows Through the lens you put on all your yesterdays Now, you’re staring in the mirror Who you are is clearer And you find some choices on your plate You could rest upon your laurels Take pride in your morals And drag around regret’s long lonely weight Or you could try to make a clean break Pay off every mistake By committing one last little sin ‘Cause you know this game you’re playin’ Is one you cannot stay in If you really hope to ever win Now, you’re gettin’ old man Time’s nippin’ at your heels And you’re recallin’ just how freedom feels And those rainbows in your mind That color up your past Have you wonderin’ just how long this chance will last But it’s so hard getting started When you’re tryin’ to find the self You hid away on some forgotten shelf But all the hopes you’ve guarded They seem to softly say It’s found by letting go of yesterday It’s a lot to swallow When you look at your tomorrows Through the lens you put on all your yesterdays Oh, but ain’t it so damn freein’ In the new light that you’re seein’ When you turn the lens from all those yesterdays And you focus it on livin’ for today Livin’ for today

San Antonio When this ole rat race has finally run us down N’ we’re tired of kicking at the concrete in this town Well, we never have to say it ‘Cuz, somehow, we both know That it’s high time we find the time to go I suggest that we commence to foolin’ around So, pack your brightest smile n’ leave behind your frown The rhythm of that highway Is callin’ loud and clear So, take my hand n’ let’s two step outta’ here Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Put the pedal on down N’ turn up the radio Them stars at night Shine big and bright Upon on that river’s flow Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio The Riverwalk is warm this time of year And, the margaritas’ they just taste sweeter here Ah, the music’s got us movin’ Just like that river rolls N’ don’t it seem to lighten up our souls Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Leave the dishes in the sink N’ the towels on the floor We’ll join the party And drink until we Forget the Alamo Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio We’re a-livin’ out a verse of our own song So, tune in to what sounds right and let go of what feels wrong Let’s get nocturnal, baby Like the armadillos do We’ll Carpe Luna before this night is through Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Where the rain don’t fall N’ the wind don’t blow We’ll howl and croon To the Texas moon Hangin’ over the city’s glow Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Maybe we should lick our wounds and roll on home But there ain’t a finer time we’ve ever known If it was there for the doin’ We sure as hell got ‘er done And who says it has to end with the mornin’ sun Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Put the pedal on down N’ turn up the radio Them stars at night Shine big and bright Upon on that river’s flow Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio Push the pedal to the metal Crank up the radio Them stars at night Shine big and bright Up above that river’s flow Hey, why don’t we go Down to San Antonio

Our Story Awake in the morning 'till I sleep at night Life is magical with you by my side We work together through good times and strife Let's stay together for life A chance encounter; our first glass of wine I knew then that we would get along fine We were fast friends but how would I know What you would mean to my life Then there were flowers and our first date We talked forever; yeah we stayed up too late We were companions long before we were mates I knew then it was fate Every day we grew closer, sharing our lives Feelings growing that we couldn't hide Family and friends became intertwined My life is your's and your's mine So come with me Sweetie, we'll walk our own way Together forever, starting this day Raising our family; watching them grow Cloud watchin' on our Sunny Day Awake in the morning 'till I sleep at night Life is magical with you by my side We work together through good times and strife Let's stay together for life

Noah’s Lark V1 They came in one by one, And soon came two by two Well don’t forget the children, Lord there were quite a few V2 It must have been some misplaced arc That dropped them at my feet There were cousins of cousins of brothers Of Friends of neighbors up the street <Chorus 1> N’ I said, “Praise the lord, I thank you; My house is high and dry, But could you maybe stop A few of them from stoppin’ by? V3 My house’s is now a litter box My yard’s a big ashtray Most folks are pleased to come and go But others overstay V4 Well, I can set down boundaries ‘N let ‘em know who’s boss But they’ll raise a glass or they’ll raise a leg Ain’t no line goes uncrossed <Chorus 2> N’ I say, “Praise the Lord, I thank you! This house is high and dry, But could you maybe slow ‘em down Lord, let’s give that a try. “Yeah, we say, “Thank you, Lord, we’re grateful; For extended Family But could you maybe find A bigger place for some of them to be?” <BRIDGE> Well, they waded through the waters From their neighborhood shipwreck Now, they’re festerin’ like an armadillo That died underneath my deck V5 Now, peace is just a memory That sleep cannot recall ‘Cuz some dog’s lyin’ on the covers N’ the sumbitch hogs ‘em all <Instrumental over Chorus music one time> V6 But now, they’re helpin’ with the chorin’ And the dogs protect the house Who’d have thought they’d become good company, And that we’d get to like hangin’ out V7 But it’s the kids that our saviors As their smiles and laughter abound School is out, so it’s play time here, N’ I kinda like ‘em runnin’ around <Chorus 3> So, we say, “Praise the Lord, we thank you! This house is high and dry, N’ we’re so glad that our new family Was able to stop by.” “Yeah, we say, “Thank you, Lord, we’re grateful; The storm has fled away, But could you make it So a few of them are here to stay? Yeah, could you maybe have ‘em stick around, If just for one more day. <ending> It must have been some misplaced arc That brought them on the tide But these cousins of cousins of brothers Of neighbors are welcome here any time Original and copyrighted Lyrics of David Day
