Verse 1:
When sorrows come by the dozen
And your morning star is lost in gray
And you can’t get out of a green room
Where a fault line runs through every stage
Chorus:
Can I hide in your shelter?
Canyon high above the freeway
Verse 2:
When truth becomes a suggestion
And the life you save might be your own
Well you know my love it is forever
So when I’m gone you won’t be alone

Verse 1:
Well she’s gone and everything around me fades
Now I’m down and I got no one else to blame
I’m cryin’ like a child wishing I was wild again
But never losing hope you and I we know just how this ends
Verse 2:
A time machine I keep looking for what went wrong
With all our dreams but there’s time to turn around
She’s cryin’ like a child wishing she was wild again
But never losing hope you and I we know just how this ends
Chorus:
How this ends
Verse 3:
If it’s gone then everything we were will fade
If you’re down you got no one else to blame
We’re cryin’ like a child wishing we were wild again
But never losing hope you and I we know just how this ends

Crooked Crown

Verse 1
“Anodyne” in my stereo
I turn it up when I’m feeling low
Spend my days runnin’ yellow lights
Close encounters of the losing kind
I go down looking on a 3-2 count
Another victim of a crooked crown
Chorus
First I’m up then I’m down
No saddle for me in this one-horse town
I’m gettin out just as fast as I can
I’ll see the world in a rock and roll band
Verse 2
Gave up whiskey and beer for Lent
My kids need shoes I ain’t got the rent
One step forward and three steps back
Someday I’ll get there and I’m gonna laugh
I’m on the ropes taking my daily rounds
Another victim of a crooked crown
Verse 3
For 20 years he turned the company around
Just 9 to 5 he never made a sound
Corporate king said, “It’s my world now”
Another victim of a crooked crown

Best Friend
Written by Kevin Michael Thompson
© 2001 CD Baby Publishing
Verse 1
You could spend your life in circles
With your head between your knees
Like some foreign dignitary
You found your car then lost your keys
Chorus
I could be your best friend
I’ll be yourself closest confidant
I could be your Huckleberry
I’ll be your next phase cosmonaut
Verse 2
You could spend your life explaining
You could spend your life asleep
Like those monkeys in the back room
All those shepherds with no sheep
Bridge
Stand inside the lighthouse
Watch the waves crash down
We’ll ride the neon highway
Until we rule this silent town
