Reality Got The Best Of Me 03:09
lyrics
buy track
Because you said you loved me doesn't mean you ever did You never did The times we spent together, thought the good outweighed the bad But I try, and I try, and I try To get back to you, to get back to you But reality got the best of me It got the best of me Reality, it got the best of me Reality, it got the best of me Reality, it got the best of me Reality, it got the best of me I (You got the best of me) Can't lie (You got the best of me) You're my (You got the best of me) Girl Reality, it got the best of me Reality, it got the best of me Words never meant too much when they're all you ever say They're all you say When we're falling apart, it's easy to walk away But I try, and I try, and I try To get back to you, to get back to you But reality got the best of me Who (You got the best of me) Are you (You got the best of me) Pursue (You got the best of me) The girl Any time that you want me And whenever you need to be Set free Now every time that you call It's always my downfall Cause' you never saw things my way and you always got the best of me

Who's To Say 02:50
lyrics
buy track
I tried to trick myself into thinking that there’s something better out there that I lack Well I’m sure there is I tried to find my piece of mind I’m too shy to believe it’s right in front of me Just need to open my eyes to see Who’s to say that I’ll never make another heart break Cause’ I swear I don’t know what I’ll do It may be dark but I swear it’s true And who’s to say that my life's astray I might be better off looking for love on a rainy day Well who’s to say I try to step outside the box but it seems as though all I have going is knowing how to get by You take away all the pretty things, pretty things And no, I’m not to well And yes, I’m still afraid Who’s to say that I’ll never make another heart break Cause’ I swear I don’t know what I’ll do It may be dark but I swear it’s true Who’s to say that my life’s astray I might be better off looking for love on a rainy day Well who’s to say

Please Come Home 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Please come home to Austin Please come home to Austin The fast nights, the same sights Tripping over a conversation Didn't you dear The alarm arrives to spread the word You're not around now I'm getting teary and my heart can't take the pain anymore Please come home to Austin Please come home to Austin Well hold on, you've lost me I swear there's more to the story dear A small step in the long run So don't stay gone now We're getting weary and our hearts can't take the pain And our lives won't feel the same Please come home to Austin Please come home to Austin The morning Towne Lake rowers and Castle Hills late night goers Zilker Park really has it all, let's take a dive off Twin Falls Let's go to Blues on the Green or we could go to Barton Springs See concerts out on the lawn or make a life out of singing songs Remember the times spent down at Flips, we lived just off of beer and tips The Ale is Real, it's whatever you feel, south of Pennybacker Bridge Tripping over a coffee table, stogie for stogie just to keep us stable Sunday family dinner nights, we played the tunes till we got it right Why ride down to the Moonlight Towers when being with you is all that matters And my heart can't take the pain

Billings Lane 02:25
lyrics
buy track
Long ago I left my roots They stay put upon a vintage record tune High above these broken roofs There's a dream of going somewhere grand I knew But a dream of goin somewhere is nothin new Let's take old Hill Road Head on back to Billings Lane My soul longs for that tin roof and the rain People live and people die What's the point the keeping track Of losing all our time I'm so glad I've grown apart From the things I knew weren't worth it from the start That's how you get stuck just where you are Let's take old Hill Road Head on back to Billings Lane My soul longs for that tin roof and the rain Let's take old Hill Road Head on back to Billings Lane My soul longs for that tin roof, Billings Lane It's a long way home No one will ever know That your roots won't grow if you're too far from home From home Long ago I left my roots They stay put upon a vintage record

Virginia 04:13
lyrics
buy track
Bought a ticket to Virginia cause I like the way that the hills roll in place Yeah I've been still where I've been stuck And the house where I've been living is custom to doors that stay shut Unlike Virginia, there's not a sound Now I'm listening She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home Virginia, keep the music going Took a bike ride down through Washwoods, I feel so small I catch my breath, my feet are numb It's much better down where the south begins, I pedal my heart through the rain See Virginia's sun From the morning mountain She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home Virginia, keep the music going Well I think that I'll just stay here forever as long as Virginia's with me For in the waking hour we see as one An overwhelming calmness and forgiveness she freely gives me I am elated, omnipresent But nothing will change for me as long as Virginia can stay beneath my feet As long as Virginia can stay beneath my feet She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home Virginia, keep the music going She's gonna keep me alive and call us her own Cause where I'm shacking up now, it don't feel like home Virginia, keep the music going

Run until your lungs give out and Go until your heart stops beating Tell me that you're running fast cause We're gone, we're gone, we're gone As the city lights pass us by I look into your eyes They've never been so bright Let the void of colors swirl around We're nowhere to be found And I can't hear a sound Run until your lungs give out and Go until your heart stops beating Tell me that you're running fast cause We're gone, we're gone, we're gone Run, run because we can't stop Get up off the ground We're never looking back now So go, go before our dreams die Pick up your feet Get away Run until your lungs give out and Go until your heart stops beating Tell me that you're running fast cause We're gone, we're gone, we're gone Is this the life, please just tell me cause we're gone now Was this our dream or are we just playing with our minds Is this love, please don't tell me that we're wrong now I'm so tired of dealing with these emotions Run until your lungs give out and Go until your heart stops beating Tell me that you're running fast cause We're gone, we're gone, we're gone Run until your lungs give out and Go until your heart stops beating Tell me that you're running fast cause We're gone, we're gone, we're gone Run until your lungs give out and Go until your heart stops beating Tell me that you're running fast cause We're gone, we're gone, we're gone

She sees more clearly now, she made it out somehow Story's old, you gotta grow up soon Move away, start your day Morning comes just oh so fast, honey it might be your last Time to see that at last you're free But what's it gonna be, gonna be She's running, running, running back home She's running, running, running back home Back to Ann Arbor where she's supposed to be Is it there or with me She's running, running, running back home Oh where is she supposed to go She's much more bitter now, her life's turned upside down So what does she do, she goes back to the place she knew Where everybody knows this isn't for everyone And everybody's got another story for why their done So it goes She's running, running, running back home She's running, running, running back home Back to Ann Arbor where she's supposed to be Is it there or with me She's running, running, running back home Oh where is she supposed to go Her voice is softer now, one more lost in the crowd Cause' all of the dreams that she used to believe were ripped at the seams once more And isn't it cruel that she played the fool of the life that we're looking for Yes it is When she seemed so So happy to be on her own away from all the debts and loans Isn't that something to be She's running, running, running back home She's running, running, running back home Back to Ann Arbor where she's supposed to be Is it there or with me She's running, running, running back home Oh where is she supposed to go

Oooh lost in the years He's got a job in the city It pays the bills but the man don't rest, no he don't Some say life, it aint pretty Now he's got something to get off his chest So he says I got lost in the years Too much music, not enough ears What would we do If I got lost with you, you my friend Cause' the time has come He had a girl up in Georgetown She couldn't stand him on the road again So he took 35 the way down Till' he thought he had hit the end So he says I got lost in the years Too much music, not enough ears What would we do If I got lost with you, you my friend Cause' the time has come and gone again So the girl from up in Georgetown Stole his mini van and half his friends He walked down to the old Grounds With a guitar and a tallboy in his hands It's a wonder she'll never understand I got lost in the years Too much music, not enough ears What would we do If I got lost with you, you my friend Cause' the time has come and gone again I got lost in the years Too much music, not enough ears Sing it again I got lost in the years Too much music, not enough ears What would we do If I got lost with you, you my friend Cause' the time has come, it's come I got lost in the years Too much music, not enough ears What would we do If I got lost with you, you my friend Cause' the time has come and gone again
