C Em Am G
The man with the golden rings gave me a cigar
C Em Am G
He smiled his fake smile said I’m gonna make you a star
Am F G
Ride with me kid, all the way to the top
C Am G
Ride with me kid, you’re too good for this coffee shop
C Em Am G
The man with the golden rings gave me a car
C Em Am G
He smiled his fake smile said I’m gonna take you far
Am F G
Ride with me kid, all the way to the top
C Am G
Ride with me kid, and the party will never stop
He promised me everything, he promised me a lot
He said when you sing, sing harder than you ever fought
He promised me everything, but that’s not what I got
Maybe happiness is more than an afterthought
Some things just can’t be bought
C Em Am G
The man with the golden rings gave me a guitar
C Em Am G
He smiled his fake smile said remember when I found you in that bar
Am F G
Ride with me kid, all the way to the top
C Am G
Ride with me kid, and your songs will never flop
Dm
I used to know what’s real
Am
The way a smile could make me feel
G
But that was then and this is now
G Am
I’d smile for you but I don’t know how

Old 52
02:58
|
|||
|
He bought himself an old 52
Figured that’s what he should do
What’s the point of having money
When you can have yourself a sweet old tele?
He bought himself an old 52
If you see him, you see her too
He’ll sing a song or two or three
Said this old gal belongs right beside me
He bought himself an old 52
Such happiness he never knew
He moved down to Tennessee
Said I like to play blues, jazz and country
He bought himself an old 52
All original down to the last screw
Feels like holding Heaven’s key
That guitar’s the best thing to ever happen to a tree
He gave away his old 52
To a young kid who was just passing through
Said this guitar’s been so good to me
The time has come to set her free
He gave away his old 52
Said I was young once just like you
That ole gal is my friend, you see
In your young hands she can still sing for me

The one

G C
She lived due south of Santa Fe when we first met
G C
Her eyes were big and gray - and her heart was set
Em
We took up living together
D
Never bothered talking ‘bout the weather
C D
I knew she was the one, I knew she was the one
In time we moved to the big city but that didn’t last
She said love I’m from the country, life here’s way too fast
So we found us a little town
A little white church and a wedding gown
I knew she was the one, I knew she was the one
She’s the one who prays for me when I leave to go to work
She’s the one who stands by me even when I am a bit of a jerk
She’s the one always ready to dance who praises God at every chance
She’s the one I loved from that first glance
The life we live ain’t for everyone, but that’s the life we choose
We love time outside in the sun, we don’t watch the news
We read the Good Book every night
And we fight, we make it right
I told you she’s the one, I told you she’s the one
She’s the one who prays for me when I leave to go to work
She’s the one who stands by me even when I am a bit of a jerk
She’s the one always ready to dance who praises God at every chance
She’s the one I loved from that first glance
She’s the one I loved from that first dance

With the Angels (Fly)
03:26
|
|||
|
No one knows what brought her to our town
So many years ago
Round here stores are mostly closing down
You could say we live slow
Didn’t take long for her to find
A man to call her own
She says life is what you leave behind
When love leaves you alone
Some people have the wisdom of a thousand years
She says she knows enough to wait til the smoke clears
And start to run, and find the sun up in the sky where angels fly
And start to feel, and start to heal, never ask why, or justify,
Fly with the angels, fly
No one knows what made her leave our town
A couple weeks ago
Round here everybody’s feeling down
You could say it’s a new low
Didn’t take long for me to find
Her note by the telephone
Saying life is what you leave behind
When love leaves you alone
So darling don’t give in to your worst fears
I hope you’ll come and find me when the smoke clears

Tell me
04:15
|
|||
|
Tell me about the night when we first met
What was on your mind, had you found love yet
The kind that’s always true, that kind that never dies
The kind you knew would never put tears in your eyes
Tell me about the night when we first shared
What was on our heart, did you think I cared
About what lives in your past, the dark and scary skies
The stuff that always puts fresh tears in your eyes
Tell me ‘bout that first morning light
Tell me ‘bout love, love at first sight
Tell me ‘bout the first breath that you took
Tell me ‘bout the first page in a brand new book
Tell me ’bout the moment you first smiled
Tell me ’bout that place between mild and wild
Tell me ’bout living for today
No longer letting yesterday
Get in the way, get in your way
Tell me ’bout the night when we first prayed
What was on your mind when we left the shade
We stepped into the sun, left behind every disguise
No longer on the run, let freedom rise

Loving you is what I do best
That’s why God put a heart in my chest
You are mine, I am yours, forever
Loving you is what I do best
I’m here to stay I’m not just a guest
You are mine, I am yours, forever
Do you want this, as much
Cause I want it, so much
Babe you’re the one, for me
Loving you is what I do best
I know life will put our love to the test
You are mine, I am yours, forever
Loving you is what I do best
This kinda feeling can’t be repressed
You are mine, I am yours, forever
Tomorrow the sun will rise again
But today we can dance in the rain

Another Saturday night
03:45
|
|||
|
Another Saturday night
Another step from the light
Another reason to dream
Another Saturday night
Nobody holding me tight
So alone I could scream
Please stop fighting me and fight for what is real, this love is the real deal
Please stop fighting me there’s still time to heal
This love is the real deal
Another Saturday night
Two wrongs didn’t make a right
And we’re running outta steam
Another Saturday night
Another departing flight
Tired of swimming upstream

What you want too
03:36
|
|||
|
I remember thinking there’s no way
That a girl like you would smile one day
At a guy like me, we can all agree
There’s levels to this game
Much to my surprise you smiled anyway
I drowned in your eyes, girl you made my day
My heart missed a beat, you were oh-so sweet
As you asked me my name
I don’t know what I said, but I made you laugh
If you’re not an angel you work on their behalf
Take my hand, take my heart
Let’s thank God for this fresh start
All I want is more of you
I hope that’s what you want too
Take my days, take my nights
Let’s go see the Northern Lights
Let’s stand by the ocean blue
I hope that’s what you want too
I remember thinking there’s no way
I could ever find the words to say
You need to know, I gotta take it slow
I hope you feel the same

Call you mine
04:59
|
|||
|
I didn’t want just to call you
I wanted to call you mine
I didn’t want to see you feel blue
I wanted to see you shine
I didn’t want just to hold you
I wanted to hold you tight
I didn’t want you to think I was just passing through
I won’t vanish into the night
I wanted to bring you the joy of a thousand smiles, of a thousand miles of open road
Where nothing’s owed and nothing’s wrong
I wanted to bring you the sound of a thousand birds, of a thousand words,
To write and sing you, a love song
I didn’t want just to be with you
I wanted to be with you now
I didn’t want just to leave you a clue
I wanted to tell you how
It’s a powerful thing
When you see right through me
