Easy Life

Deep in the country where boys become men
I’d need to work to the bone until the day ends
where sleep’s for the weak and “thanks” is a word I won’t hear
Why would I do that when I got all that I need right here
They push in the city as far as I can bend
I’d be praying each day just to see the weekend
and be sure at any moment they’ll kick me out onto the street
Why would I do that now that I’ve got everything I need
I wanna wake each morning as slow as I can
We could slide to the evening without any plans
and do what we want from sunset till morning light
I wanna spend each day with you on my hand
We can fade away as best as we can
I wanna hold you close and do what we know feels right
Let’s keep working on an easy life
I’m done with running a race that nobody wins
Stuck at the mercy of who’s pulling the stings
Let’s live like we’re retired cause lord knows we’ll never afford it
Let’s worry bout that later when we’re too tired and too old to notice
Chorus
[instrumental break]

Here’s a little story that you might have heard before
Last night my sweetheart said she didn’t love me anymore
She’s tired of second fiddle, always being strung along
She said Don’t you quote me in another mediocre song
She said,
You think you’re a star But you’re dreaming
I think you’re a drunk Who plays guitar
In a bar singing songs no one believes in
Welcome home, I’m leaving
She said,
You can take the TV, I won’t need it anymore
I’m tired of waiting up To hear you stumble through the door
You can take the old recliner The one I never use
I think you’re gonna need it when you’re sleeping off the booze
Chorus
I’d Like to say I didn’t see it coming
But Everything I played for her
was always out of tune
Maybe I’m a little broken
the drink and music keep me going
If I was her I would leave me too
Chorus
Welcome home, I’m leaving

Who I Should've Been

Yeah you’re right I never knew what I was missing
Thought i was living I was really just existing
feeling nothing cause there was no reason to
You seemed like you where always destined for something
I was busy still fading into nothing
To smug to be who I thought I was back then
things like this move
Slowly Slowly
You make me who I should have been so
long ago, long ago
You make me who I should’ve been
You make me who I should’ve been
Long ago
I thought I knew what everyone else expected
I was in a rush to stay disconnected
From everyone who knew too much of me
Then again there was no talking to ya
You’ve been that way since the first day I knew ya
There’s no one else with whom I’d rather be
Things like this move
Chorus
I never knew that change was a long time coming
I never knew how far someone could go wrong
I may not be where I should be but I’m right where I belong

No One Told Me About You

Main Street never felt so small
Dreaming of life somewhere else
I heard the world could pass me by
So I went to see it for myself
I heard the cliff edge in Yosemite
Could make and old soul feel brand new
I heard that nothing feels quite like it
But no one told me about you
When I was poor just getting by
Making just enough to keep me going
I heard of wealth in high supply
For someone bold enough to earn it
I heard that all that I needed
Was a good idea or two
Then I’d have everything I wanted
But no one told me about you
You make everything seem easy
Didn't know I was searching for you
I was off the mark. Wondering in the dark
I found all I needed to
I heard that everyone has someone
But I thought that no one really knew
They're just telling me old stories
But no one told me about you
