I's born to ramble I's born to roam Ne'rmind I been Ne'rmind I'm goin I's born to wander This interstate From here to where Well who can say I's born to ramble I's born to roam I's born to find out the truth for my own I's born to cross This dusty land To find a home And leave again When I get the itch For travelin on I'ma do my best But then I'm gone I might be back But not for long I's born to ramble I's born to roam I's born to ramble Watch em go now go I's born to work These two lanes I signal when It's time to change I's born to help My fellow man See a need Lend a hand And let the wind Get a piece of my sail Then I'll be out following My own trail I's born to ramble I's born to roam Just let me ramble That's what I'm doin Now I's born to ramble Now Now

Sneakers 03:43

Sneakers on the street and a long board rolling Gliding down the sidewalk in a summer haze The sun is lazy working its way across the sky And what catches your eye takes you away Look at you in your lucky shoes What a sight for sore eyes Now your truckin You aint over it, You aint over it Til the summer ends Sneakers on the street and the surf is rolling Bouncing somewhat sideways in a summer daze The sun is lazy working its way across the sky And what catches your eye takes you away Sneakers on the street and a back beat Kickin up a dust storm in my wake Comin like a harbinger of somethin what don't hesitate The sun is KREEPIN down to the opposite horizon Casting a glow, catching your eye, it takes you away Look at you in your lucky shoes What a sight for sore eyes Now your truckin You aint over it, You aint over it Til the summer ends Look at you in your lucky shoes What a sight for sore eyes Now your truckin You aint over it, You aint over it Til the summer ends Look at you in your lucky shoes What a sight for sore eyes Now your truckin You aint over it, You aint over it Til the summer ends Sneakers on the street, I feel em beat behind me A change hangin in the air Sneakers on the street, I feel em beat be hind me Its comin soon

Layers 02:52
lyrics

The morning sun Or a clear starry night Neither touch the sight Of seeing your eyes For the first time In a couple of years I couldn't fight the tears When you arrived And it's still there It's buried in the grain Of who I am It's still there It's buried in the grain The morning sky Lights my eyes I finally recognize What home is It's not a certain place It's not a certain time Bun an actual surprise You've let go this And it's still there It's buried in the grain Of who I am It's still there It's buried in the grain And it's growing deeper As I grow older And I can feel it sinking Into the layers The morning sun Or a clear starry night Neither touch the sight Of seeing your eyes And it's still there It's buried in the grain Of who I am It's still there It's buried in the grain And sinking further every day It's still there It's buried in the grain

Not Fast Enough 01:50

Just not fast enough Exgirlfriend called me up Said baby come over Cause I need a little love But I was not fast enough Darlin this is all wrong What we had was good But what we had is gone Now I know its time to move on But I was just wasn't fast enough Haunted again and I'm flinching Hunted like a rabbit and I'm missing I'm losing like a cooler but I'm whistling Just slow down, slow down, slow down Just not fast enough She said I sounded rough I told you I can't come over Just to get beat up no more Not fast enough No more Not fast enough No more Not fast enough No more Not fast enough

Nazca Lines 03:26
lyrics
buy track
The fifth sun is rising Or so I have been told And when the fifth sun rises I'ts gonns shake shake my soul These Nazca lines I feel growing deeper These aching bones I feel growing deeper Yea floods will soon be coming As quatrains have foretold And soon it will not matter What is bought and what is sold These aching hearts that once pined for love Will soon be seeking shelter from the rains above It's all over, Its all over my head Heavy halo And I wont sleep until the sentence has been read The fifth sun is rising Or so I have been told And when the ant men cometh It's gonna shake shake shake my soul These Nazca lines i fear are just a warning Maybe they'll predict a future haunting It's all over, Its all over my head Heavy halo And I wont sleep until the sentence has been read No no no no no It's all over, Its all over my head Heavy halo And I wont sleep until the sentence has been read

Aint Giving up Now 02:32
lyrics
buy track
I ain't giving up now Ain't no way now how We've come so far And tried so hard And I ain't giving up now I ain't throwing in the towel Ain't no easy way out If it's worth the pride Then it's worth the fight And I ain't giving up now If I do It'll be because we're through Not because of you I know that I've got limits But I ain't giving up now I know the way it's gonna sound But I'm just saying what I've found If it's up to me To let this be Then I ain't giving up now No I ain't going underground But I ain't waving it around We may agree To disagree But I ain't giving up now Then If I do It'll be because we're through Not because of you I know that I've got limits I know that it takes time I know you've got problems And you know I've got mine But it just takes some patience And a little bit of trying Just a touch of common sense And the will to compromise To reach that common goal To get on down the line Cause I know where you're headin' And you know where to find me Just give me a reason Just give me a sign some how I know that I've got limits But I ain't giving up now

Got your wheel on the line You're ready to go Ya see the light And you can't be slow You accelerate with a bit of the juice Ya separate you're rollin fast and loose You're grinnin You're rollin fast and loose now Keep it up They're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose Out the first turn and into the straight You're running hot on the old V8 Got the hammer down with lead in your boot You hit the corner rollin fast and loose. You're grinnin You're rollin fast and loose now Keep it up They're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose Fast and loose Fast and loose Keep it up they're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose Ya got someone on the outside You cut em off so you can't get by Even with the old triple deuce Aint gonna catch ya cause you're fast and loose You're grinnin You're rollin fast and loose my friend Keep it up They're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose Well you're lookin for that fastest time See you at the finish line Ya got a little left and you give it a goose Ya take the checker rollin fast and loose You're grinnin You're rollin fast and loose my friend Keep it up They're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose Fast and loose Fast and loose Keep it up they're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose Keep it up They're out of luck You're rolling fast and loose

I Took A Picture 04:01
lyrics
buy track
I took a picture Of places we've been Little memories Of who we were then Spoke in a whisper So not to offend the here and now I took a picture of places we'd go Just kids riding bikes down neighborhood roads Or walking to school, rain or snow The where and how I took a picture And put it in a frame Up on a mantle Dated with a name And all these places Are never the same when we look back I took a ride past House we would live Like paper boats Sailing adrift Never knowing where Not knowing if we'd find our way Oh nostalgia I hardly knew ya Oh nostalgia hallelujah I took a video a And saved it just for me And I may share it And maybe you can see How familiar Places can be so far away I took a picture And put it in a frame Up on a mantle Dated with a name All these places Are never the same when we look back I took a picture And put it in its place Stuck to a rocket And shot to outer space And when we get there at the end of the race We can look back Oh nostalgia I hardly knew ya Oh nostalgia hallelujah Oh nostalgia I wish I knew ya Oh nostalgia hallelu Hallelujah Hallelu Hallelujah

Left a little piece of my heart in Oklahoma Green country callin out my name And I aint been back to stay in far too long now But I try to get back home when I can Well I first set foot to walkin north of Tulsa My first nation my first home And it wasn't long before I found myself gone And so began that life of travelin on And I left a little piece of my heart in Oklahoma Green country callin out my name And I aint been back to stay in far too long now But I try to get back home when I can When I feel that mother road beneath me I can't stop thinkin of my home Old 66 one of many ways there Even if its not where I'm goin Cause I left a little piece of my heart in Oklahoma Green country callin out my name And I aint been back to stay in far too long now But I try to get back home when I can From the Wachita across to the red dirl land Panhandle down to OKC Ans the blackjack trees of the great old osage I still see em in my dreams Cause I left a little piece of my heart in Oklahoma Green country callin out my name And I aint been back to stay in far too long now But I try to get back home when I can Cause I left a little piece of my heart in Oklahoma Green country callin out my name And I aint been back to stay in far too long now But I try to get back home when I can I try to get back home when I can

Goodnight #17 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Everything will be OK Nothing ever stays the same A good nights sleep is all one needs A little rest, A little dream Drift away and let it be The moon will set into the sea And when you wake it will be new and I will still be there for you A book of rules can teach the game Embers rest with dying flame How to lose and how to win Be with me until the end Goodnight my peeps Peace love and Volkswagon grease Much love across the globe And cheers
