Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun comes up Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun comes up Oh, the rooster is crowin’, the sunlight is showin’ The love in our happy little garden is growin’ Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun comes up Baby, I love you, baby, in the midday sun Baby, I love you, baby, in the midday sun Oh, the sun is a-blazin’ the heat is a-hazin’ Our love’s shinin’ bright, so you better not be gazin’ Baby, I love you, baby, in the midday sun It’s a happy little life But the storm clouds will roll in The rain is what helps us grow Keep your head up and you’ll find When the water meets the light you get a rainbow Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun goes down Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun goes down Oh, the babies are sleepin’, the moonlight is creepin’ The crickets sing a song about lovin’ on the deep end Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun goes down Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun goes down Baby, I love you, baby, when the sun goes down

Fool's Gold 03:54
I had so much I wanted to say Only after you turned and walked away There’s no amount of whiskey That can drown this over time Not every heart that feels will love find Sweet gilded lies Honey, you made a fool out of me Your shiny gold has left me hollow Fool’s gold Well it’s been a while that we felt this way 3 years, 2 months, and 15 days Anything can lose its luster If you don’t mind it over time Not every love is meant to withstand time Sweet gilded lies Oh honey, you made a fool out of me Your shiny gold has left me hollow Fool’s gold Fool’s gold I can see the love in your eyes sometimes I can feel the love from your heart sometimes It helps me remember Then I remember all of those Sweet gilded lies Oh honey, you made a fool out of me Your shiny gold has left me hollow Your shiny gold has left me hollow Fool’s gold Fool’s gold I had so much I wanted to say Only after you turned and walked away

Ghost 03:37
I been looking all around this old house Looking for a ghost Searching for you is all I can do But nothing seems to glow I been waiting right here on this couch Waiting for a ghost What’s her name, and do we look the same Is she funny just like me How could you do this to me When my heart was all that I could bring I’ll keep my wits about me I’ll keep my wits about me You’ll see, you’ll see I been looking all around this old house Looking for a ghost Searching for you is all I can do But nothing seems to glow

Room For Me 04:00
I’ve been thinking what does it mean to be free If I let something go could it come back to me I’ve been wondering how much time do you need To know if your heart has room for me Do you have room for me I’ve been feeling so tired lately This has taken its toll emotionally I can’t turn off my brain so it seems But we’ve got the same fears We’re scared of the same things Do you have room for me Do you have room for me If I see you out I promise I’ll try to be strong, I don’t want to cry But it never felt quite right saying goodbye Do you have room for me Do you have room for me Do you have room for me Do you have room for me I’ve been thinking what does it mean to be free If I let something go could it come back to me I’ve been wondering how much time do you need To know if your heart has room for me Do you have room for me Room for me Room for me

I thought that I saw you tonight Downtown, you were quick out of sight He was tall just like you and his woman was too And it left me feeling lonely and blue I thought that I saw you tonight Your heart has been broken in two By the things that I said and I do When I stumble through that door Your heart cracks a little more But you know that I’ll love you till I die I wanted to call you tonight To see if we could make all this right But I’ve had too much to drink To tell you what I think But I wonder if you’re lonely and blue I dreamt about you tonight We were happy, the whole world felt just right Then the phone woke me up They said your body turned up With a note that said I’ll love her till I die I wanted to call you tonight To see if we could make all this right Baby, my heart was too sore But I don’t hurt anymore But I wonder if you’re lonely and blue I thought that I saw you tonight I thought that I saw you tonight And I should have just called you tonight

Harvest 03:53
Mama’s been wondering if another hard year Will keep Daddy drowning his worry in beer Sister is sleeping, not a worry in sight We’ve been working in the dark at night Mama’s been wondering if another hard year Will take Daddy’s mind, leave his body here Crops they can spoil, old mules die We keep working these fields at night Harvest moon, you couldn’t have come too soon Sister, still sleeping, not a worry in sight We’re gonna clear these fields tonight

Summer romance blossomed Faster than we both could tell We weren’t ready for this I wasn’t ready for how far I fell Oh I fell… Clouds of dust and dirt roads Beyond our fields of gold Seasons change and so have we Never been so cold I need this, but you won’t I want more, and you don’t Baby it hurts But we know what we gotta do Go have your big adventure I can’t say I’ll be here when you come home Look up at night, see the moon shine bright You will know you do not wander alone Alone, you do not wander alone Alone, you do not wander alone Explorer at heart, with a brand new start I wonder what you’re doing now You were right about me, I fall in love too easy I still miss you somehow I need this, you won’t I want more, but you don’t Baby it hurts But we know what we gotta do Go have your big adventure I can’t say I’ll be here when you come home Look up at night, see the moon shine bright You will know you do not wander alone Alone, you do not wander alone Alone, you do not wander alone

Janie’s gonna have herself a baby Little boys bring a lot of joy But he won’t be like the others He’s gonna have himself a real hard life The doctor says it’s best to put him to rest Janie holds her head and she cries She’s not much for praying But she sings it out loud Janie’s got herself a birthday boy He’s turning five, how the time flies No, he’s never been like the others But he’s happy and he loves to ride his bike It all happened so fast, the car was trying to pass Janie beats the walls and she cries She’s not much for praying But she sings it out loud Stop, don’t make a sound He’s just a baby He don’t belong in the ground Life won’t you please go easy on me, go easy on me Janie’s little boy is now a man What a joy it was to raise that boy No, he’ll never be like the others But she’s taught him how to love and survive The doctor said son, she don’t have very long Janie hears her boy start to cry She’s not much for praying But she sings it out loud Stop, don’t make a sound What happens to him When I’m trapped in the ground Life won’t you please go easy on me, go easy on me Life won’t you please go easy on me Won’t you please go easy on me and my baby

Minefields 03:50
Don’t say that I’ve changed
 It’s all relative now
 I’ve been on a journey long
 With no real end in site I may only remember the times that were bad
 My mind has grown limber from the minefields withstand
 But I don’t think I can do this again Time goes by, they say it flies But here time is standing still I don’t know when my journey ends But there’s no real end in site I may only remember the times that were bad
 My mind has grown limber from the minefields withstand
 But I don’t think I can do this again I’ll see a glimmer of hope sometimes It makes me believe that time might heal everything I feel I may only remember the times that were bad
 My mind has grown limber from the minefields withstand
 But I don’t think I can do this again No, I don’t think I can do this again

Sometimes 02:59
You’ve been weary, your eyes look teary Tell me what’s on your mind It’s just a season, don’t mean this feeling Isn’t eating you inside Sometimes we don’t know Where the love’s supposed to go But keep your light a-burning for me You used to be tender, but you’ve been weathered You wonder if your heart’s still the same Brighter days, are beyond this haze And you’ll feel that sunshine again Sometimes we don’t know Where the love’s supposed to go Keep your light a-burning for me Sometimes we don’t know Where the love’s gonna grow Open up your heart and sing with me Sometimes we don’t know Where the love’s supposed to go Keep your light a-burning for me Sometimes we don’t know Where the love’s gonna grow Open up your heart and sing with me
