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

Carolina 02:42
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 02:14
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
