Broken Stoplight
02:30

We could paint it red
But it'd fade into the rusted clay
They say that it's been dead
Since our parents dreamed of making their escape
This town is a broken stoplight
We could wait but it won't ever change
We could spend our lives just cruising these backroads
Live and die in the same two lanes
Pageant queens come from miles around
To Friday night football games to flaunt their crowns
But traffic catches them when the game lets out
Just the same
This town is a broken stoplight
We could wait but it won't ever change
We could spend our lives just cruising these backroads
Live and die in the same two lanes
This town is a broken stoplight
We could wait but it won't ever change
We could spend our lives just cruising these backroads
Live and die in the same two lanes

Summer sun on the Fourth of July
Til it sinks low and the fireworks fly
The lake lights up I feel your lips on mine
There's a tilt-a-whirl spinning inside my head
A shiver down my spine to the riverbed
We're making waves and memories to kill the time
Singing
Whoa Carolina
Whoa carry me home
Whoa Carolina
Don't let me fade
Don't let me go
You're beautiful and I'm scared to death
And not sure just what comes next
Til the lights go out and it's just us again
I catch my breath, our hearts beat in time
I go real slow around that last stop sign
We pull into the drive but goodbye just won't come
Singing
Whoa Carolina
Whoa carry me home
Whoa Carolina
Don't let me fade
Don't let me go
Summer fades like memories do
The leaves changed like me and you
We went our separate ways and never looked back
Until we looked back
Then we looked back
And we look back
Now I'm singing
Whoa Carolina
Whoa carry me home
Whoa Carolina
Don't let me fade
Don't let me go

Burning Away
03:24

There's a warm glow from the candles
That I see reflected in your eyes
So tell me you love me while you look into mine
And all sorts of other sweet lies
The memory of him might still linger
But tonight, tonight you're all mine
She's a lifetime away where I left her
And this hunger's eating me alive
I want to do right
But you're here tonight
And leaving's the last thing
I've got on my mind
I want to be strong
But I can't carry on
Just bearing this flame
I'm burning away
Burning away
The taste of your first kiss sends shivers
Each time I close my eyes
I know that I should know better
But it's too late to turn back this time
Waves of your love wash me over
Like storm driven waves on the sand
And just as I sink below the water
You reach out and you take my hand
I want to do right
But you're here tonight
And leaving's the last thing
I've got on my mind
I want to be strong
But I can't carry on
Just bearing this flame
I'm burning away
Burning away
I want to do right
But you're here tonight
And leaving's the last thing
I've got on my mind
I want to be strong
But I can't carry on
Just carrying your flame
I'm burning away
Burning away

Stones Throw
02:41

Lying in my bed trying to count the stars
I can't help but wonder where you are, baby
And if you're thinking about me
Around the world or just a way cross town
You're too far gone and I'm too far down it seems
Except in my dreams
Take your time
No, I don't mind
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
When you're sitting in your room and you're all alone
The moonlight creeps in and lights up your phone's empty screen
Are you hoping it's me
When your friends finally call about going out on the town
Do you make up a reason to let them down easy
And maybe just get some sleep
Take your time
No, I don't mind
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love
Baby, we could be just a stone's throw away from love

Drive
03:12
|

You're standing there on the front porch
You've got the sun shining in your eyes
After so much practice
We know how to say goodbye
I can barely see over the junk in the back
By the time I take my eyes off you
I take a deep breath and I tell myself
For the millionth time I've got to
I hit the road and it hits me back
By the time you fade from my rear view
I put it in drive
Another night, another rented bed
Another pillow that doesn't fit my weary head
I'll toss and turn until the morning comes
Then like a bandit I'm back on the run
I hit the road and it hits me back
By the time you fade from my rear view
I put it in drive
I hit the road and it hits me back
Maybe one day it'll knock some sense into me

River

Cash Wilson died back in 1967
When that tractor rolled like them bluegrass hills
Way back then they never could imagine
There was so much left to write in that blood that spilled
The next generation tried their hand to turn the land
But Eden's gates were surely shuttered closed
Their prayers stuck to a tin roof, the rains never came
But there's one thing I know
There's a river running through my veins
That flows on and on and on and on and on
A change of plans and a change of heart
Can never change the past
We just carry on the best that we know how
Through civil wars, death and divorce
The first breath to the last
There's twists and turns but there's no doubt
There's a river running through my veins
That flows on and on and on and on and on
