Track Name: April Showers
All in all I'm doing fine
It's hard enough
to keep myself in line

and who am I
to deserve grace?
An aimless wanderer
through time and space

I am old enough to know
April showers make a garden grow
April showers make a garden grow
April showers make a garden grow
Track Name: Mouth Of The Moon
Is that a cigarette hanging from the mouth of the moon?
Or a candle shaped balloon, end's burning bright?
So please explain does the constellation
take place of lungs for clouds of smoke?

You are a million footsteps from me
but still you're bigger than I believe

Everybody sees the midnight blue and stars
scattered near and far and floating free
I wonder if I reach out far enough
close enough to touch will I die?

You are a million footsteps from me
but still you're bigger than I believe

You are a million footsteps from me
but still you're bigger than I believe
Track Name: Run With All You've Got
I hear the highway calling
I know it's been a while
since I've search the static of a distant A.M. dial
when I lost the signal
I rolled the windows down
the wild wind pushed my soul into another town

I may never get
never get another shot
so brother bring that hope
and run with all you've got

There's always other cities
always dues to pay
there's no time to sit around
I can't afford to wait
and there's a hundred highways
for my restless soul to drive
man, it's a miracle
that I am still alive

I may never get
never get another shot
so brother bring that hope
and run with all you've got

I've been everywhere across this land
sleeping in the back of mini-van
San Diego to Birmingham
just looking for a chance

I passed another year now
that's four years on the run
I've given in so many times
to the lies that say give up
but then i hear the music
like mercy in the night
it's not by chance that after all
the darkness comes the light

I may never get
never get another shot
so brother bring that hope
and run with all you've got
Track Name: Drove To Knoxville
Drove to Knoxville, Tennessee
Heading east-bound on 140
I hit the end of the road
turned right on a street I don't know
I'm lost again
I'm lost again
Thinking of you

I found the Smokies at 70
but missed the yellow autumn leaves
I don't really know my way
through the Appalachian chain
I'm lost again
I'm lost again
Thinking of you

Sometimes I am a million different parts
looking for one beating heart
can you find me?
can you find me?
can you find me?

I drove to Knoxville, Tennessee
Track Name: Goodbye Golden Age
You've got a ticket for the ride
heading towards the western coast to hide
maybe giving it some time

Goodbye Golden Age
I wish we had more time
Goodbye Golden Age
I won't be far behind

Looks like the bottlerocket fuse
has burned all the way through
now it's time to watch those colors bloom

Goodbye Golden Age
I wish we had more time
Goodbye Golden Age
I won't be far behind

You pick me up when I sing your songs
You pick me up when I sing along

Goodbye Golden Age
I wish we had more time
Goodbye Golden Age
I won't be far behind
Track Name: I Am The Tempted
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Wrap your arms around me
I have seen the lion's den
from the inside out
All these slaves have blinds for eyes
watching what they wish to
and I have seen the greed of man
I have seen her eyes

Lord have mercy!
I am the tempted
Lord have mercy!
I am the tempted

Senators and CEO
Stand in line to greet her
and I could watch
through window frames
hours through the night

She holds power
She holds fame
She controls their movements
I could knock
on her red door
I could taste the wine

Lord have mercy!
I am the tempted
Lord have mercy!
I am the tempted

The choir sings: "Blessed are the weak
who receive the mountains and the streams."
The choir sings: "Blessed are the weak
who receive..."

Lord have mercy!
I am the tempted
Lord have mercy!
I am the tempted
Track Name: Deliverance
I never had a chance
I never had a chance with you
so I'm sending you
a package full of proof

that you took, took all that I had
for granted, all that I had
with a grain of salt
you threw me towards the heap
like autumn's falling leaves
but the train is coming soon

Hear the iron ring
Hear the iron ring out truth
This metal wind
Screams around the bend

that you took, took all that I had
for granted, all that I had
with a grain of salt
you threw me towards the heap
like autumn's falling leaves
but the train is coming soon

The engine's urgency is fueling up
For the beauty of deliverance
Deliverance
Deliverance
Deliverance...
Track Name: Banks Of Jordan
They announced: "A dead man's walk!"
Your faced looked tired
but you're eyes were calm
one step towards the end
towards the banks of Jordan
You don't need these restraints
You're ready for your life

The doors swung wide
your feet hung low
sweet chariots
take me home
Home to where his life beings
on the other side of Jordan
where freedom lives
and death no sting
in the promise land

Someone said on your last day
witnesses heard you say
oh to see
her face again
standing by the banks of Jordan
holy water take a tired man
to the other side
Track Name: Broken Places
Lately I feel a lot like giving up
this road that I'm on is filled with twists and bumps
Questions and some coffee
Tears on a midnight drive
It's hard to have hope when you don't feel alive
Yeah, it's hard to have hope when you don't feel alive

All these broken places where you find me
on my knees begging for your mercy
I'm an orphan on God's highway
Gillian, sing me a song
yeah, sing me a song

My hands are on the wheel
My mind, it wanders free
to a time where the world
was not to big to see
Traffic signs and truck stops
a wanderer's paradise
I guess we all have something to find
Yeah, I guess we all have something to find

All these broken places where you find me
on my knees begging for your mercy
I'm an orphan on God's highway
Gillian, sing me a song
Yeah, sing me a song

All these broken places where you find me
on my knees begging for your mercy
I'm an orphan on God's highway
Gillian, sing me a song
Yeah, sing me a song
Yeah, sing me a song
Yeah, sing me a song
Yeah, sing me a song
Track Name: Ghost of Elvis
The Ghost of Elvis followed me
From Memphis down through Mississippi
He tailed me in a Cadillac
It was painted black
Painted black

Now Elvis, wouldn't you agree
Something's wrong with me
but he said, "No destiny
is complete."

"You've got a heart that beats,
lungs that breathe,
and you've got time.
and you've got time."

So I told him empty things
transparent offerings
and how I'll never stand a chance
in the ring.
in the ring

"You've got a heart that beats,
lungs that breathe,
and you've got time.
and you've got time."

Oh, this is what's inside my mind
Oh, the things I often try to hide
Oh, this is what's inside my mind
Oh, the hope I often try to find
the hope I often try to find

So we went our separate ways
when I crossed the interstate
and he said: "Son, I'll see you soon.
We'll maybe sing a song or two."

"You've got a heart that beats,
lungs that breathe,

"You've got a heart that beats,
lungs that breathe,
and you've got time.
You've got time!
You've got time!
You've got time!
Lord, You've got time!"
Track Name: Nothing But A Fire
Nothing but a fire.
Nothing but a fire burning out
and burning slow.

I used to see a blue horizon
I used to see a blue horizon
now the sun's getting low

It's a long way fall
no matter how you try
Maybe, this is how it goes
we're never satsified

Used to be a hopeful dreamer
Just another hopeful dreamer
Now, I'm waking up

I wonder if you're love can save me
I wonder if you're love can save me
and will it be enought

It's a long way to fall
No matter how you try
Maybe this is how it goes
We're never satisfied
You bend, you break, you show
who you are inside
Track Name: Declaration (Bonus Track)
You've got to be kidding me
This can't be what I'm made for
To wake up and fall in line
Never feel or taste more
So I'm staring at the ocean's tide
with this wind surrounding me
let the restlessness inside
lead to life abundantly

we're living in a land
where we go through the motions
just like fools, just like slaves
bound up and shackled in these chains
this is a declaration
we want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give

it's routine that's robbing us
it's routine some live for
'cause routine is safe and calm
but we could ride this storm
but we're buried here alive
and we've got ourselves to blame
and we'll never feel the sun
and we'll never feel the rain

we're living in a land
where we go through the motions
just like fools, just like slaves
bound up and shackled in these chains
this is a declaration
we want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give

we want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give

we're living in a land
where we go through the motions
just like fools, just like slaves
bound up and shackled in these chains
this is a declaration
we want more
we want more
we want more
than this world can give
