Missed Opportunity I saw Jesus hitchhikin’ on the side of the road Holdin’ a sign that asked, goin’ up I paused for a moment, then slammed on the brakes But in an instant, he was gone Gone like the wind, Gone like a dream Missed Opportunity, again Gone like a wish, Gone in a flash Missed Opportunity, again I remember growin’ up a little too stubborn and proud Never askin’ anyone, for any help Always seekin’ the truth but walkin’ right passed the answers Nothin’ to blame but youth, and now that’s gone Gone like the wind, Gone like a dream Missed Opportunity, again Gone like a wish, Gone in a flash Missed Opportunity, again Maybe someday my luck will change And opportunity will knock But I’ll be Gone, Gone like the wind Missed opportunity, again Gone like a wish, Gone in a flash Missed Opportunity, again I saw Jesus hitchhikin’ on the side of the road Holdin’ a sign that asked, goin’ up © 2018 711Records (ASCAP)

Shaky Ground 03:57
Shaky Ground Standin’ on Shaky Ground, kickin’ rocks, off a cliff Wind in her face, she don’t feel a thing Starin’ up at the stars, in a cold black sky Lookin’ for answers, but she never asks why Her mama, can’t sleep at night Her daddy, drinks all the time Standin’ on Shaky Ground Reachin’ for the stars, tryin’ to pull heaven down A balancing act between lost and found Ain’t afraid of lookin’ down Standin’ on Shaky Ground She used to be a dreamer, not afraid to risk it all Born runnin’ wild, no time to learn to crawl Years fly by and time weighs heavy on her soul Chasin’ dead end dreams, has taken its toll Her mama, can’t sleep at night Her daddy, drinks all the time Standin’ on Shaky Ground Reachin’ for the stars, tryin’ to pull heaven down A balancing act between lost and found Ain’t afraid of lookin’ down Standin’ on Shaky Ground Her mama, can’t sleep at night Her daddy, drinks all the time Standin’ on Shaky Ground Reachin’ for the stars, tryin’ to pull heaven down A balancing act between lost and found Ain’t afraid of lookin’ down Standin’ on Shaky Ground © 2018 711Records (ASCAP)

Time Is All I Have Sittin’ at a bus stop in Nashville, Tennessee A homeless man walked up, sat down next to me He said son, I’m not askin’ for a dime I’m just lookin’ for someone, with whom to spend some time Time Is All I Have, I’d be glad to share some with you Every mornin’ I wake up, I’ve got another day to spend The more I give, the more I’ve got, it goes on to no end Time Is All I Have, I’d be glad to share some with you A couple years, maybe more, from the day I met that man His words echo in my head, live them the best I can He said son, it’s not what’s yours or what’s mine No matter how much money you make, you can’t buy time Time Is All I Have, I’d be glad to share some with you Every mornin’ I wake up, I’ve got another day to spend The more I give, the more I’ve got, it goes on to no end Time Is All I Have, I’d be glad to share some with you He said look, there goes another time starved man, rushin’ by, to get to work I wonder if he knows, what it is that he’s chasin’ Time Is All I Have, I’d be glad to share some with you Every mornin’ I wake up, I’ve got another day to spend The more I give, the more I’ve got, it goes on to no end Time Is All I Have, I’d be glad to share some with you © 2018 711Records (ASCAP)

A Better Man 03:14
A Better Man As I grow older, I should be gettin’ wiser But it seems I forget more every day Am I learnin’ anything at all, or is it just the alcohol Does it matter either way Sometimes you gotta let it go Move on the best you can Pick up the pieces, take time to mend And learn to be, A Better Man Bein’ right ain’t all it’s cracked up to be I’ve seen right and lonely walk hand in hand Foolish pride can drown your common sense, leave you washed up with only your regrets Like bein’ face down in the sand Sometimes you gotta let it go Move on the best you can Pick up the pieces, take time to mend And learn to be, A Better Man Sometimes you gotta let it go Move on the best you can Pick up the pieces, take time to mend And learn to be, A Better Man © 2018 711Records (ASCAP)
