MOVIN' ON
hank barbee ©2010
Can we clean this all up?
Or let it all go?
Is it time to say what we already know?
That this river of pain
Now a river of tears
Has washed over the banks
Of this many years
When love ain’t enough, well, what is that worth?
Turn me around and take back this hurt
We keep on dyin’ cause we keep on tryin’
It ain’t in the truth, it’s all in denyin’ that
It ain’t about right or wrong
It’s just about movin’ on
You leave a piece of yourself wherever you go…
If it’s all in black and white
And you can’t be wrong or right
Keep the pieces you love and let the rest go…
You tried to pack me away, in a neat little box
And set me aside, but I kept spilling out…
Our road has been rough, though we tried our best
Now all the lines in the sand, have left a damn big mess
For better or worse til death do us part
Until this bandage falls off of my heart
Put it back on, do you think it will stick?
With so much blood and a hole this big?
It ain’t about right or wrong
It’s just about movin’ on
You leave a piece of yourself wherever you go…
And when you scared of bein’ blue
That’s all the fear just comin’ through
Sometimes bein’ alone is the best that we can do…
(bridge) We’re just not who we were
I don’t know what to do
I don’t have a clue
You say I don’t know you
Anymore
The reasons why
No longer apply
Hide away and lock the door
Don’t see the love,
Don’t see our blood spillin out on this floor…
***
It ain’t about right or wrong
It’s just about movin’ on
You leave a piece of yourself wherever you go…
If it’s all in black and white
And you can’t be wrong or right
You’ll take the pieces you love wherever you go…
It ain’t about right or wrong
It’s just about movin’ on
If you love someone, you’ll just let’em go
Starting over you can find what you were always looking for…
THE DOOR
hank barbee ©2010
v.1.
the pillows are thrown
the sheets hangin on
covers rolled up to the edge
the air is still blue
and it smells like you
there’s more than your voice in my head
if true love was sin
like what has just been
would it linger on in the night?
I long for your touch
to burn me up
it’s your heat that keeps me alive
won’t you turn around, my love
come back down to what we’ve found
it’s not the same old thing in here
that you had before
no, it’s so much more
so let’s keep it on
this side of the door
v.2.
the song in my head
that you sang in my bed
was a beautiful wreckage of mine
and hung in the smoke
were the sad, sad notes
of a melody that put out your fire
when your boots hit the floor
I tell you once more
that I will do anything…
begging is tough
but it’s still not enough
to convince you to stay…
don’t you open up that door
turn around for what we’ve found
it’s not the same old thing in here
that you had before
no it’s so much more
so let’s keep it on
this side of the door
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
v.3.
remember the days
when you would stay
closer to me than close?
if I feel like home
then I’m where you belong
don’t go…. don’t…
don’t you open up that door
come back around to what we’ve found
its not the same old thing in here
that we had before
no, it’s so much more
so let’s keep it on
this side…
let’s keep it on
this side…
let’s keep it on
this side of the door…
SOME KINDA LOVE
hank barbee & liz hargett ©2011
that’s some kinda love
that’ll call me up
at 1:15 in the mornin
you make me laugh
and forget I’m sad
and put a smile on my face…
well that’s some kind love
that can pick me up
when I’m havin ‘one of those days’
I’m fit to be tied
beaten and lied to
but you don’t walk away
that’s some kinda friend
that will break and bend
all the rules just to let you play
that’s a big big love
who will hold you up
no matter what gets in our way
well that’s some kinda love
when the times get tough
you know just what I need
a three hour walk
when I just need to talk
cause life’s been kicking me
that’s some kinda love
that can prop me up
a shoulder I can lean on
when all that I dread
can’t get me out of bed
don’t wanna face the day
that’s some kinda friend
that will break and bend
all the rules just to let you play
that’s a big big love
who will hold you up
no matter what gets in our way
that’s some kinda love
that can crack me up
smiling with your silly face
never again
will it happen, my friend
we’ll never say goodbye…
that’s some kinda love
that’s some kinda love
that’s some kinda love
that’s some kinda love
that’s some kinda love
that’s some kinda love
NEVER USED TO MIND
2011 lynn lasseter
v.1.
I never used to mind
wearing your favorite shirt
sleeves rolled up
…down to my knees
with nothing underneath
I never used to mind
when we wore nothing at all
Face to face in bed
with desire in between
c.1.
Now I find
that I'm just a little bit tired
Of wearing this smile
and saying it’s alright
Yes, I find
that I'm just a little bit tired
Of wearing this smile
and saying that I’m fine
v.2
I never used to mind
wearing my heart on my sleeve
for the world to see… that I gave it to you
now where’s our dream come true?
I never used to mind
wearing your name like a ghost
I gave you the most
I ever, ever could give
chorus repeat
bridge
Wish dreams didn’t fade and love didn’t leave
If time went back then I could believe
I wish I could remember one thing
How I never used to mind
Wearing your ring
c.3.
Now I find
that I'm just a little bit tired
Of wearing this smile
saying it's alright
Yes, I find
I'm just a little bit tired
Of wearing this smile
and sayin that I’m fine
and sayin that I’m fine
I’m not fine
SOMETIMES
by Liz Hargett ©2010
Sometimes I don’t feel like getting up
Sometimes I don’t feel like laying down
Sometimes it’s not coffee in my cup
Sometimes I’m more lost than I am found
Sometimes I close the blinds and pull the shades
Sometimes the sun’s too bright on my window sill
Sometimes I think I’m dreaming but I’m awake
Sometimes I think I’m running but I’m standing still
Today has been a day of sometimes
And it’s looking like tomorrow just may be
Sometimes there’s no song on my radio
Sometimes it’s just not sad enough for me
Sometimes the music’s fast when I’m dancing slow
Sometimes to dance alone is what I need
Today has been a day of sometimes
And it’s looking like tomorrow just may be
Today has been a day of sometimes
And it’s looking like tomorrow just may be
Today has ended like so many days before
I’m tired of sometimes
There’s gotta be something more…
Today has been a day of sometimes
And it’s looking like tomorrow just may be
Today has been a day of sometimes
And it’s looking like tomorrow just may be
And it’s looking like tomorrow just may be
