1. _ Up All Night
Yeah i'm a little tired, i'm a little wired
Four pots of coffee in the last eight hours
Pacing the floor all the way through
Late, late movies and the early cartoons
Now you're wanting me to believe
You ain't fooling around on me
(chorus
Even through bloodshot eyes
I can see right through your lies
I mighta been born yesterday
But i've been up all night
Despite the caffeine
And the lack of visine
I'm not as wide eyed as i seem
You left looking fine now you
Come back home
Your hair messed up and your
Blouse buttoned wrong
I'd have to be a fool to believe
Anything you're telling me
(repeat chorus)
Never went quite as far as loving you blind
But you had me in the dark for a long, long time
Now you're looking at a man who's seen the light
So pardon the way i look
Sunset to sunrise, haven't slept a wink
But i feel like i just woke up
"cause even through bloodshot eyes
I can see right through your lies
I mighta been born yesterday
But i've been up, i've been up, i've been up
I've been up all night
I've been up all night
I've been up all night

2. _ The Holes That He Dug
He said son won't you lend an ear to what i have to say
I've been down this road before and i think i know the way
He said i can't help but see that's quite the load you bear
You better lose that attitude if you wanna get somewhere
You look at me as if you see a worthless man
Well don't be fooled son by the dirt on these hands
(chorus)
He said never judge a man by the clothes that he wears
Don't take for granted that he chose the cross he bears
You can't put him down for who he is or what he does
Cause you don't dig the holes that he dug
He said son this road of life's been known to take it's toll
I've hit all the rough spots, every ditch and every hole
There's just so many paths but wrong or right's a choice
Don't let what you think you know throw you off course
He said slow down son and take it all in stride
Take your time, along with this advice,
(chorus|solo)
(tag)
You can't put him down for who he is or what he does
Cause you don't dig the holes he dug

3. _ Lonely
There's a red brick in a white wall
Somebody's brush forgot to paint
So it sits there all alone
Like a hopeful sinner
Who finally goes to church
She don't sit among the christians
Cause she questions her own worth
Oh she's lonely
(chorus)
Lonely like the way you left me
Nothing i know's gonna get me
Through, losing you
The worst of loves analogies
Are tangled up inside of me
But the only one that brings
Me to my knees
Is lonely
There's a man in his own prison
With a crime nobody knows
He has sentenced himself to life
Witn no pardon or parole
Oh he's lonely
(repeat chorus|solo|repeat chorus)
I'm a red brick in a white wall
Somebody's brush forgot to paint
Lonely

4. _ Lessons Learned
I was ten years old the day i got caught
With some dime store candy that i never bought
I hung my head and i faced the wall
As daddy showed me wrong from right
He said this hurts me more than it does you
Theres just some things son, that you just don't do
Is anything i'm sayin' getting through
Daddy i can see the light
(chorus)
Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh theres no way around it
Cause this world turns on lessons learned
Granddaddy was a man i loved
He bought me my first ball and glove
Even taught me how to drive his old truck
Circling that ol' town square
He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
I never heard him cause i knew it all
But i sure listened when i got the call
That he was no longer there
(chorus)
Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Oh theres no way around it
Cause this world turns
On lessons learned

5. _ Unforgiven
Thomas jefferson, he had slaves
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
I read about him in the seventh grade
He's forgiven
Jfk he loved to run around
He and norma jean painted that town
But we know him as a hero now
He's forgiven
(chorus)
Baby i know i did you wrong
Thats why i'm here, thats why you're gone
I don't know just what i've done
To be one of the unforgiven
I had an uncle, he dodged the draft
They said step forward and he stepped back
But we all cut him some slack
He's forgiven
Judas betrayed the christ with a kiss
Cartel kings get a slap on the wrist
Jesse james and billy the kid
They're all forgiven
(repeat chorus|solo)
I've made mistakes, thats what life is
But there ain't a thing i can't live with
And even though you can't forgive
You're forgiven

6. _ From The Inside Out
She was always there taking care of me
And i never took the time to look close enough to see
That taking her for granted was taking it's toll
I ran the race for me
She went an extra mile for us
I kept hammering away at the solid rock of trust
If i was burning my last chance
I never saw the smoke
Cause she never let it show
From the ouside looking in nobody could've known
She didn't cry, she didn't shout
I was blind, but i see now
She was breaking from the inside out
I was seldom there even when i was around
If i'd seen the signs back then
Maybe she would be here now
I never knew that she was leaving
Til the day she said goodbye
Cause she never let it show
From the outside looking in, nobody could've known
She didn't cry, she didn't shout
I was blind but i see now
She was breaking from the inside out
(solo)
She didn't cry, she didn't shout
I was blind but i see now
She was breaking from the inside out
She was breaking from the inside out

7. _ Steps
Little baby boy, sittin round his toys
Gettin tired of crawlin
He's pullin up on an easy chair
He's gonna try a little walkin
He's takin steps
A six year old with a new school bag
Starin down his drive
Holdin on to his mama's hand
He's going on his first bus ride
He's takin steps
A teenage boy in a rented tux
Reaching out a trembling hand
To a pretty young girl in a satin dress
Asking her to dance
(chorus)
Steps, some big, some small
Puttin one foot after the other
Steps, the trick to it all
Is diggin down to find a little courage
And it's okay
To be afraid
You gotta have faith
Life's all about
Steps
For 22 years she stood by a man
Who did her wrong
With a packed suitcase
And a greyhound ticket, she's finally gone
She's takin steps
At a meeting downtown, a tired old drunk
Stands and says his name
That leaves him eleven to go and he can
Already feel the change
He's takin steps
Somewhere a great grandpa says
"i'm ready to go"
Peacefully drifts off to sleep
Wakes up on streets of gold

8. _ Just You And Me
Baby take off your coat
We ain't in no hurry
I see the fear in your eyes
But girl don't you worry
I'll keep the candles lit all night
So you'll know everythings all right
We've got everything we need
And it's just you and me
I've got the covers turned down
Come lay here beside me
Oh baby let down your hair
And your doubts about me
I'm gonna make you feel tonight
Like you've never felt in your life
We've got everything we need
And it's just you and me
(chorus)
There ain't no one around
And the only sound is your
Heart beating next to mine
Cast your fears in the fire
Give into your desire
Put your faith into me
'cause i've got everything we need
And it's just you and me
(solo|repeat chorus)
(tag)
Oh baby let down your hair
And your doubts about me

9. _ Long Wet Kiss
If i was lost on the ocean
Stranded in the middle of the sea
I'd have to live on devotion
Hopin' that you'd rescue me
If i was nearin' the end
And runnin' out of time
The only thing that would keep me alive
(chorus)
It's your long wet kiss
In the mornin that i can't resist
Can't deny it when it feels like this
Theres nothin' more i would miss
Than your long wet kiss
Some men are driven by diamonds
Some they are drawn to gold
I could live life on desire
With only your body to hold
If i was pushed to the edge
And had to offer my life
Darlin' i would pay any price
(i wouldn't think twice)
(chorus)

10. _ The Man I Was
Look at me in that photograph
Before we were ever us
Long before you found someone else
And broke our sacred trust
I hardly recognize myself
Sure has been awhile
Amazing how much my life has changed
Since i've worn that smile
What happened to that smile
(chorus)
There i am with my head held high
My step was quick and my eyes were bright
Back when i believed in love
And would lay my heart on the line
I don't know which hurts the most
Losing you or having to see
The picture of the man i was
Before the fool you made of me
I've wasted time here missing you
Doubting who i am
I can't make you something you're not
But i can be me again
Oh deep down i know i can...
(repeat chorus)
(tag)
I want to be the man i was
Before the fool you made of me

11. _ From Here To Kingdom Come
You can move to another town
Take everything i ever gave you
Call when you're feeling down
Tell me everything i never listened to
What a sad affair
I'm here and you're way out there
Now your friends say you did the right thing
You were never meant to be a wife
And their expert opinions may bring
You to making up your mind for life
What a tragic night
Truth ain't always such a blinding light
(chorus)
I can love you from here to texas
I can find you in tennessee
You can run from here to kingdom come
But you can't run away from me
You can stand by your innocent line
And pretend that things are better now
But there's a flaw in your perfect design
You'd fix it but you don't know how
Baby i can drive
I can keep it on the road
As long as i'm alive
(repeat chorus
I could find you in california
Or any place that you might be
You can run from here to kingdom come
But you can't run away from me
