LAKE OF GLASS

She presented herself 

Like a lake of glass

Surface-perfect and pristine

Never would have guessed 

The mire and the mess

That lay-in-waiting underneath

It came from down below

And it grabbed a hold

I was thrashing just to catch my breath

The lake of glass 

Became a churning mass

Dragging me to the brink of death

I fought to stay alive

I wanted to survive

I clawed my way onto a bank of grass

Vowed to never fall for,

Be consumed, or crawl for

A woman like a lake of glass

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yeah… 

I survived the deception

Of painted perfection

Didn't see the signs of her decay

Layer by layer

Not a glimpse until

The final one was stripped away

I was mistaken

She wasn't gold, but brass

A tempest, not a lake of glass

~~*~~

Still see the pure image 

That is reflected

From dreaming to wide awake

Oh, and it still feels 

So alive and real

My dreams don't offer an escape

I have to wonder why 

In the moonlit sky

Out of every star that shines

The one I chose for me 

It just had to be

The fallacy that I've described

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Some may wonder now…what the outcome was

Did he survive…what came to pass

I was the cyclone...the raging storm

That forged a river through the lake of glass

Yeah….I conquered the pretender…

Stripped away her mask

And forged a river through the lake of glass…

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yeah… 

I survived the deception

Of painted perfection

Didn't see the signs of her decay

Layer by layer

Not a glimpse until

The final one was stripped away

I was mistaken

She wasn't gold, but brass

A tempest, not a lake of glass

ANOTHER TIME

Her shaking hands replaced the tea cup in the saucer

Her wizened brown eyes stared into mine

I held her gaze as I listened  to the story

Taking me back into her youth

Another time…

When the Bible was not just a work of fiction

And Our Savior was not shunned

When hatred was reserved for the wicked

Not aimed at every human with a gun

Another time…

When they didn't lock their doors

And bar their windows

In fear of evil wandering the night

You could reach out your hand to help somebody

Without thinking you're endangering your life

~~~*Chorus*~~~

She said ...I never raised my voice to my Mama

And I answered “yes sir” to my Pa

We didn't need a juvenile justice

We all knew our parents were the law

She said I can’t wait to go to Heaven

Though my time on earth 

Has been just fine

It’s getting to the point where it won’ t be

Everyone’s forgotten …

No one’s passed on...

Another time…

~~*~~

She wiped away a tear that escaped her

I just held mine in and bowed my head

There wasn't any comfort  I could give her

She was dead-on with everything she said

Things are getting worse as the years fly

Slowly losing pride and respect

There are not a lot of memories in my History

That I want to cherish and collect

But this woman made me think about my options

If I ever have children of my own

I don’t want some spoiled duplication

Of the friends and families' kids that I have known

I want to know respect and admiration

See it reflected in my children’s eyes

That is something I will strive for

I’ll just borrow from….

Another time… 

~~~*Chorus*~~~

When they didn't raise their to their voice

To their Mama

And answered “yes sir” to their Pa

Didn't need a juvenile justice

They all knew that parents were the law

She said I can’t wait to go to Heaven

Though my time on earth 

Has been just fine

It’s getting to the point where it won’ t be

Everyone’s forgotten …

No one’s passed on...

Another time…

SOMETHING STOPPED ME

I was standing on the rocks this morning
The surf crashing in my ears
Relishing the spray, that escapes the waves
As it mingled with my desperate tears

I thought about stepping closer
Yeah…flirting with the ragged edge
Thought about the tide, the whole damn time
And giving it the life that I've got left

~~~*Chorus*~~~
But something stopped me
Like a whisper woven in the breeze
Yeah, something stopped me
When all I wanted was a pain release
You drove me down here
Like you grabbed my arm and said lets go
I feel you laughing
I’m not your problem anymore
I’ll take the ocean
You take her, and go and live my dream
Yeah, I stepped closer
Oh ,this anguish it is killing me
Let me free eee eee
Oh, something stopped me
~~*~~

Why does betrayal have to be so vivid
Intensely burning through my mind
Why must I be the constant victim
Am I stupid or just simply blind
Oh……
How did you get me stepping closer
Flirting with the ragged edge
How did you  drag me to the bottom
Drown the dignity that I had left

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
When does a soul start to waver towards
The shadows that exhaust a life
How did you become the jumping point
Me thirsting for the damning tide
What stopped me
Oh, oh, oh, something stopped me
~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
Yeah, something stopped me
Like a whisper woven in the breeze
Something stopped me
When all I wanted was a pain release
You drove me down here
Like you grabbed my arm and said lets go
I feel you laughing
I’m not your problem anymore
I’ll take the ocean
You take her and go and live my dream
Yeah, I stepped closer
Oh, this anguish it is killing me
Let me free… … …
Oh, something stopped me
~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~
I almost did it
Surrender to the sea
But I’ll remain a Keystone
Ah, ah, ah, 
Something stopped me
Yeah... .... ...
Something stopped me

TEN DAYS...FOUR MEN (HUNTING CAMP)

I was loading up my truck
Heading to hunting camp
My Son pointed at the beer
Asked why you need all that

I told him that this time
Kenny said he’s coming up
Don’t want to come back early
So I have to take enough

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Yeah…
The last time that we went
We didn't have enough
Ten days, Four men
That’s what I call rough
Blake brought some tequila
Said y’all just help yourselves
Ten days, Four men
That’s what I call Hell
Tim ate all the jerky
What the heck is up with that?
Ten days, Four men
We call it hunting camp
~~*~~

The first day that we got there
We put up all the tents
That night we started drinking
Well, all of us but Tim

In the morning we went hunting
We killed a single buck
Counted up three bullet holes
So it was one of us

I said I think I shot it
Yeah, that’s my hole right here
Blake said his was through the heart
He was grinning ear to ear

Tim’s shot was the cleanest one
Right between the eyes
Kenny yelled let’s celebrate
Yah! We raised the bottles high

For five days we saw nothing
And we only had one fight
We ate, and talked, and partied
Tim hid the guns at night

I won’t say who the jerk was
Holding his aching head
Wanted to leave him at the camp
He went with Tim instead

Heard a shot and a holler
Kenny smiled at me
Said I’ll bet that hurt his head
Come on let’s go and see

Tim had shot another buck
All by himself this time
Reason enough to celebrate
We’re going on day nine

On the tenth day we packed up
Yah, camp’s come to an end
We’re hung over and We're dirty
Well, all of us but Tim

We left with hoots and hollers
See ya later Champs
Can’t wait until next season
To go to hunting camp

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Yeah…
The last time that we went
We didn't have enough
Ten days, Four men
That’s what I call rough
Blake brought some tequila
Said y’all just help yourselves
Ten days, Four men
That’s what I call Hell
Tim ate all the jerky
What the heck is up with that?
Ten days, Four men
We call it hunting camp

COUNTRY SIDE

My childhood girlfriend called the ranch last night

Said I’m getting married would you help me please

There’s a ticket at the airport waiting for you

A first class seat to Washington, DC

Looking out the window, waiting to touch down

I shook my head, and thought what’s wrong with me

The debutante I knew…won’t know what to do

When I get off of here in boots and jeans

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yes!…

I once lived high society

I was born a socialite

The pace in that place

Finally got to me

I wasn't meant to be citified

Not a second in the day 

To catch your breath

There were parties almost every night

So I escaped…

Before it was too late

No one there has seen my country side

~~*~~

I saw her waving a glove…exiting the gate

And I swear she looked like “Jackie O”

Took one look at me in cowboy boots and jeans

She shook her head and wrinkled up her nose

After a hug hello…she said come on lets go

I’m taking you to meet my fiance

I have a dress for you …we’re going to Marcel’s

Don’t get mad, his friend will be your date

It was almost six, when we walked in

And she introduced me to her man

He said, by sight alone,  I would have never know

You own a ranch until I shook your hand

Well, we just got seated when my date arrived

Lord, I have never seen a man so fine

I pictured him in jeans, and cowboy boots

The very minute that his eyes met mine

After drinks we were walking to his car

Thought it was over when he took my hand

He pulled me to him, and laughed out loud

Said Dang it, now I understand!

I couldn't get past your beauty and the dress

I wondered why I wanted you for mine

You don’t belong here any more than I do

I should have known you had a country side

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Yes!…

I once lived high society

I was born a socialite

The pace in this place

Finally got to me

I wasn't meant to be citified

Not a second in the day 

To catch your breath

There were parties almost every night

So I escaped…

Before it was too late

I can’t believe you sensed my country side

~~*~~

He said this is the greatest trip I've ever made

Flew in from Texas just the other day

I’m a fifth generation rancher’s Son

I wouldn't have it any other way

He said  I've always scorned the ones who claim

They found their true loves at first sight

But will you be my bride, and bring that country side

To my ranch in Texas mid-July

~~~*Finale*~~~

Yes!…

I once lived high society

I was born a socialite

The pace in that place

Finally got to me

I wasn't meant to be citified

Not a second in the day 

To catch your breath

There were parties almost every night

So I escaped…

Before it was too late

Now I’m a bride in the countryside

LACEY

My buddy down the street bought a Mustang

he’s some big-wig engineer

Drove by my house in the middle of the night

Revving it so everyone could hear

My next door neighbor got a Harley

A classic with a lot of chrome

Said, don’t worry bud, I’ll stop and pick you up

Anytime yours doesn’t make it home

Well, they both were sure disappointed

I showed no signs of turning green

Said I’ve got a date with Lacey tonight

Y’all have fun with your new machines

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yeah…

They may have the money and the wheels

Pretty gold diggers nipping at their heals

But I know when excitement’s truly real

Cause I got Lacey, and the way she makes me feel

She likes my hair a little long, and my beat up truck

Says my laugh’s contagious , she can’t get enough

Never gave my friends a second glance

Proved that she was mine every time she got the chance

I know that they all think she’s crazy

But deep down

Every good man wants a Lacey

~~*~~

My old roommate  from college came to visit

A limo dropped him at my door

When Lacey came by he turned the charm on

He won’t be stopping by here any more

Oh yeah, she hung on me like a second skin

Acted like he was a parasite

He was mad as hell that she’d shot him down

I had the greatest night of my life

He said bud she’s got a face and killer body

Could have made her famous in a day

I do not have a clue what that girl sees in you

But no one’s ever treated me that way

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

I said...

You may have the money and the wheels 

Pretty gold diggers nipping at your heels

But I know when excitement’s truly real

Cause I got Lacey, and the way she makes me feel

She likes my hair a little long and my beat up truck

Says my laugh’s contagious, she can’t get enough

She never gave you a second glance

Proved that she was mine every time she got the chance

I know you probably think she’s crazy

But deep down

Every good man wants a Lacey

~~*~~

I introduced Lacey to my Mama

My Papa was already won

She had Mama wrapped around her finger

Long before the night was done

Papa said you have our blessing Son

Get hitched and start having babies

We know you’ll be happy for the rest of your days

Married to a girl like Lacey

~~~*Finale*~~~

Yeah…

I know that they all think she’s crazy

But deep down

Every good man wants a Lacey

I'M DIVING IN THE WATER

I stripped everything…dove into the water
Left my troubles piled on the shore
I felt the cleansing river overtake me
Wash the shame away and leave me whole

I kicked hard to get away from your memory
It took all the strength that I had left
I'd rather be exhausted treading water
Than to walk on land that you possess

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I was born
In just this way
Not clothed in your abusive hate
I can swim 
All by myself
You be an anchor for someone else
Not going any farther
I’m diving in the water
~~*~~

Elated now, I've never felt such a feeling
Swimming unbound is such ecstasy
I’m moving with the hope that is inside me
Being swept out to the open sea

I’ll just drift along without any worries
With no hurry of a distant shore
Won’t need the clothes I left up river
They don’t look good on me anymore

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I was born
In just this way
Not clothed in your abusive hate
I can swim 
All by myself
You be an anchor for someone else
Not going any farther
I’m diving in the water
~~*~~

I can swim 
All by myself
You be an anchor 
For someone else
I am in the water
Kicking even harder

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I was born
In just this way
Not clothed in your abusive hate
I can swim 
All by myself
You be an anchor for someone else
Not going any farther
I’m diving in the water

MY HEROES OVERSEAS

I drove my car out to the airport 
Settled down on a seat
Watched people welcoming their heroes
Servicemen from overseas

Drove to the Columbia river
And sank down on my knees
The grass was wet in the early light
That didn't bother me

First I prayed to God in Heaven
And then I looked around
I didn't see a single person
So I just opened my mouth to shout

~~~*Chorus*~~~
This is a shout out 
To my heroes overseas
Not everyone’s forgotten
I’m down here on my knees
And every breath of freedom 
That I breathe
I give my thanks to God
And my heroes overseas
I want you to know
This gratitude runs deep
And I am always with you
My heroes overseas
~~*~~

I read the local paper today
All I could do was moan...
Another bomb in Afghanistan
Five more of ours aren't coming home

I know we’re not there with them
I know that  life goes on
But they’re dying for this Country
Help support them while they're gone

Every breath of freedom that you breathe
You know it’s never free
It's purchased by noble lives
Our heroes overseas

~~~*Chorus*~~~
This is a shout out 
To my heroes overseas
Not everyone’s forgotten
I’m down here on my knees
And every breath of freedom 
That I breathe
I give my thanks to God
And my heroes overseas
I want you to know
This gratitude runs deep
And I am always with you
My heroes overseas

I MISS FOOTBALL

I want to pound their heads in 

But I don’t  like to fight 

I just have to walk away

Until I’m feeling right

I miss the days of high school

The poundings of the past

Anger keeps on building

Because I can’t kick their  ass

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yeah we played football

Out there on the field

They never had a clue

That my intent was real

I tackled them daily

Beat em black and blue

They crawled off of the field 

When their grit was through

The coach would pat my back

Tell me that I did good

Said go check your Buddies 

I think that someone should

Now when I start getting mad

 I have no release at all

I want to hurt someone...

HUH!
I miss football
~~*~~

The team has really scattered
Benny’s a salesman
Cant tell you how often
I want to pummel him

Melvin is a teacher
Where we attended school
Don’t want to hurt Melvin
I think he’s pretty cool

But Andrew is a lawyer
He helped my ex wife out
I want to walk up to him
And punch him in the mouth

Shane’s a Paparazzi 

Has no conscience at all

There have been a few times

I've backed him against a wall

I’m a construction worker

Got my own company

I’m honest and hard working

That’s why they get to me

I said I do not like to fight

Let me set the record straight

I’m just afraid that I wont stop

Before it is too late

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yeah we played football

Out there on that field

They never had a clue

That my intent was real

I tackled them daily

Beat em black and blue

They crawled off of the field 

When their grit was through
The coach would pat my back
Tell me that I did good
Said go check your Buddies 
I think that someone should
Now when I start getting mad
I have no release at all
I want to hurt someone
HUH!

I miss football

SOUL FIND

I feel like that sun burning up the horizon
I could render the Pacific dry
The terrified mouse on the barren prairie
Eluding a hawk up in the sky

The family at the airport in New York City
Awaiting their Soldier coming home
Racing my car along deserted highways
Ignoring the posted traffic zones

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh yeah, it’s heat
And fear
It’s elation through tears
It’s taking a little risk
When the blood in your veins
Flows a different way
You feel things 
You didn't know exist
When your heart stops
In time
It’s a Soul Find
~~*~~

I feel like the fuse burning up to the mountain
Finding it's way to dynamite
The phone that rings at two in the morning
Praying every thing's alright 

It's a first time Daddy waiting for the new baby
To be placed into his shaking hands
And skinny dipping in the middle of the day
In the pond on her Daddy’s land

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
When every emotion the Good Lord gave you
Finally shakes you to the very core
When you can't control the laughter within you
And there isn't room for one thing more
When the blood is rushing through the veins in your body
And you've never felt a touch so fine....
Every minute apart you're thinking about them
Makes you feel like you have lost your mind
Greatest thing in life....
Is a soul find
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Oh yeah, it’s heat
And fear
It’s elation through tears
It’s taking a little risk
When the blood in your veins
Flows a different way
You feel things 
You didn't know exist
When your heart stops
In time
It’s a Soul Find

DOWN BY THE WILLOWS

You know… 

I really thought that I would die when you did

And a broken heart from love is not the same

You can always put behind you bad decisions

But to never hear your voice or call your name…

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I can’t do this

Sometimes when I’m alone

And think about you

I don’t care if I live on

And then the sun shines

Or a fragrant wind blows

I look for you

Down by the willows

~~*~~

Your Mother came to stay the day they told us

In her eyes…the reflection of my pain

We've shared our special memories of you

But my sweetest ones I’ll never share again

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I can’t do this

Sometimes when I’m alone

And think about you

I don’t care if I live on

And then the sun shines

Or a fragrant wind blows

I look for you

Down by the willows

~~*~~

Charlie called to see how I was doing

When he said your name I hung up the phone

Then cried because I know I can’t blame Charlie

                    I should be thankful that he made it home                         But…

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I can't do this

Sometimes when I'm alone

And think about you

I don't care if I live on

And then the sun shines

Or a fragrant wind blows

I look for you

Down by the willows

~~*~~

Today I laughed at some kids, down by the river

They were trying to sneak a kiss, while with their Moms

It was such a new emotion for me

On the river's edge, I made my peace with God

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~

I can do this

Just close my eyes and breathe

I think about you

All that you would want for me

And then the sun shines

My heart already knows

You are with me

Down by the willows

 ~~*~~

EVERYONE'S NOT ME

Everyone says he’s crazy

They've labeled me insane

Everyone says there’s trouble

Running through his veins

Everyone’s tried to warn me

But I want him so bad

And nothing’s going to keep me

From that bad-blooded man

~~~*Chorus*~~~

No…

Everyone can’t hear

My heart as it goes wild

When his eyes find mine

And he growls before he smiles

He’s like molded steel

Hot to the touch

Ahhh …

When he’s walking towards me

Lord, I want him so much

His passion and his laughter

They have no boundaries

Yes…

I want him

Everyone’s not me

~~*~~

Everyone says he’ll use me

And then will give me up

Gasp when I smile and tell them

That I just can’t get enough

He makes me feel so much alive

Yeah, sets my body on fire

When I think I've reached the top

He lifts me even higher

Everyone just stares at me

Everyone shakes their head

I don’t think a one of them

Heard a single word I said

~~~*Chorus*~~~

No…

Everyone can’t hear

My heart as it goes wild

When his eyes find mine

And he growls before he smiles

He’s like molded steel 

Hot to the touch

Ahhh …

When he’s walking towards me

Lord, I want him so much

His passion and his laughter

They have no boundaries

Yes...

I want him

Everyone's not me

~~*~~

Everyone’s trying to stop me

Before it is too late

But hunger leads me to him

And we make our escape

I've never felt so free before

Or so misunderstood

Now everyone can whisper

About the bad that’s in my blood

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Oh……

Everyone can’t hear

My heart as it goes wild

When his eyes find mine

And he growls before he smiles

He’s like molded steel 

Hot to the touch

Ahhh …

When he’s walking towards me

Lord, I want him so much

His passion and his laughter

They have no boundaries

Yes...

I want him

Everyone's not me

~~*~~

APPARITION

She was out beneath the weeping cherry tree

Head bowed low praying on her knees

When I heard her crying I stopped right there

A victim of its echoes on the evening air

Averting my eyes like a gentleman

I lowered my head with my hat in hand

Felt the onset of a light fall rain

I called upon the Lord to come and ease the pain

When I looked up she was already gone

Sorrow drifted through me as my hat went on

Tears and rain collided as I turned to go

She was an apparition for a broken soul

~~~*Chorus*~~~

My friends kept saying time would heal my pain

I had to bust away before I went insane

There’s only so much patience in a grieving man

And if they haven’t lived it they can’t understand

When you’re destined for forever you are as one

A half of a whole will always come undone

They said there is no way you can defeat death

I took my pretty apparition, bought a farm, and left

~~*~~

She was singing to the baby by the garden gate

I was running towards them just to touch his face

Almost there came the truth I’d feared

You can’t approach an apparition or it disappears

I savor the evenings when she comes to me

I can hold her like I’m meant to in my sweetest dreams

I greet the early morning with a thank you prayer

Smile at the apparition in the rocking chair

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

You can call me crazy it won’t bother me

I don’t care if you can’t visualize the things I see

Only God knows the reason he took them away

An apparition is my minds way to let them stay

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

You can try to convince me time will heal my pain

That won’t truly happen till we’re whole again

There’s only one solution for this grieving man

If you haven’t lived it you won’t understand

When you’re destined for forever you are as one

A half of a whole will always come undone

So I create an apparition when my heart does bleed

Defeat death and keep them here with me

~~*~~

~~*Finale*~~

You can call me crazy 

It won’t bother me

I don’t care if you can’t visualize 

The things I see

Only God knows the reason

He took them away

An apparition is my minds way

To let them stay

BRUSH THE VEIL ASIDE

We’re taught to be strong when we’re children

You fall down and you’re told to get up

Someone calls you names 

You just walk away 

Until you have had enough

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Brush the veil aside

I feel pain sometimes

Tears of devastation

Raining from my eyes

You think you can’t hurt me

Here’s a word to the wise

I am only human

Brush the veil aside

~~*~~ 

Whispers and stares in the hallway

Being alone and left out

Once knowing you’re smarter and better

Now feeling the millstone of doubt

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Brush the veil aside

I feel pain sometimes

Tears of devastation

Raining from my eyes

You think you can’t hurt me

Here’s a word to the wise

I am only human

Brush the veil aside

~~*~~

Ahhh…to love and cherish

Reservations are put to rest

Then you die deep inside

From the hurt you can’t hide

He’s consumed the you that was left

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Brush the veil aside

I feel pain sometimes

Tears of devastation

Raining from my eyes

You think you can’t hurt me

Here’s a word to the wise

I am only human

Brush the veil aside

ANGELS IN CAMOUFLAGE

Everyone’s heard stories

Of the horrors of war

And yet you have to question

Just what we’re fighting for

Imagine waking up 

Every day

Not knowing what injustice 

You may face

To watch your Mother beaten

Or your Father shot before your eyes

Brothers and Sisters

Tortured and terrorized

~~~*Chorus*~~~

You know we’re all in this together

To fight evil, greed, and hate

America fights for those in need

Because we have what it takes

When destruction’s coming at them

They bow their heads to God

And He sends them His finest

Angels in camouflage

~~*~~

When our Country was attacked

We got just a taste

Of what it’s like for them

Every waking day

There are many families there

Who love just like we do

And they pray to the same 

God in Heaven we pray to

Our Heroes fight for justice
Under the red, white, and the blue
Trying to make a difference
Like they know God wants them to

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Stop undermining freedom
Stand up for the cause
Support our courageous Heroes
Angels in Camouflage
And for the brave we lose there
Help their families out
We are all in this together 
Don't leave them room for doubt
~~*~~


~~*Final Chorus*~~
Yes, we are all in this together
To fight evil, greed, and hate
America fights for those in need
Because we have what it takes
When destruction’s coming at them
They bow their heads to God
And He sends them His finest
Angels in camouflage
