Here’s my heart, right in my chest Yea here it is, you can see the rest Here is my soul Here is my soul Here is my soul Yea a woman like that She’s born to thrill And she will Yea a woman like that She’ll get you high Right in front of your eyes Here’s a hole, see me inside Yea there it is, don’t think twice Here is my soul Here is my soul Here is my soul Yea a woman like that She’s born to thrill And she will Yea a woman like that She’ll get you high Right in front of your eyes You make it hard for me to see All those things you’re supposed to see between the lines Here is my soul Here is my soul Here is my soul Yea a woman like that She’s born to thrill And she will Yea a woman like that She’ll get you high Right in front of your eyes

Heading east on highway number one Heading towards that city in the sun Petty is playing in my truck Working towards that city in the sun I’m hoping for something good, and I’m tired of waiting Hope to find it in that city in the sun Real love is hard to find, and my time’s been wasted Hope to find it in that city in the sun New hat and some polarized on Heading towards that city in the sun Crank the A/C, it’s gonna get pretty hot Working towards that city in the sun I’m hoping for something good, and I’m tired of waiting Hope to find it in that city in the sun Real love is hard to find, and my time’s been wasted Hope to find it in that city in the sun Moving on ‘cause what’s been done is done Heading towards that city in the sun Like a guitar that’s just been restrung Working towards that city in the sun I’m hoping for something good, and I’m tired of waiting Hope to find it in that city in the sun Real love is hard to find, and my time’s been wasted Hope to find it in that city in the sun

Changing 06:14
There was a valley and it was wild and free There was a valley and it was wild and free Until they came to repeat history Until they came to repeat history And it never was And it never was And it never was the same Our home it was forever changed We had a town and we lived in luxury We had a town and we lived in luxury Until they came and they planted a seed Until they came and they planted a seed And it never was And it never was And it never was the same Our home it was forever changed I built a house and I lived there for free I built a house and I lived there rent free Until a tide came and it took it out to sea Until a tide came and it took it out to sea And it never was And it never was And it never was the same Our home it was forever changed I’m coming home Resisting change I’m coming home But it’s feeling strange I’m coming home, I’m coming home I’m coming home, I’m coming home

I’ve had good times and I’ve had bad Remembering all the times that we sat I’m still hungry, yea I’m still hungry Ain’t that the truth I’ve had real times and I’ve had worse Sometimes it feels like, feels like a curse But I’m still hungry, yea I’m still hungry Ain’t that the truth Went for a walk last night in the rolling sage And there was a coyote and he was crying out He told me son someday you gotta turn the page I said, “I’ve been trying but I still have my doubts” I’ve had only things that I feel And if you understand this might appeal ‘Cause we’re still hungry, yea we’re still hungry Ain’t that the truth It doesn’t matter for people like us You just gotta find someone that you can trust ‘Cause we’re still hungry, yea we’re still hungry Ain’t that the truth Went for a walk last night in the rolling sage And there was a coyote and he was crying out He told me son someday you gotta turn the page I said, “I’ve been trying but I still have my doubts”

Mill Town 05:43
Oh we’ll never let this dream die These south Alberta plains they get so cold Oh we’ll never let this dream die These south Alberta plains they get so cold Yea we’re movin’ to the west coast Where the air is free Yea we’re gonna find a new home Where the grass stays green Oh we’ll never let this dream die This Fraser Canyon road will find us home Oh we’ll never let this dream die This Fraser Canyon road will find us home Yea we’re movin’ to the west coast Where the air is free Yea we’re gonna find a new home Where the grass stays green Oh we’ll never let this dream die We’ll find that big mill town by the sea Oh we’ll never let this dream die We’ll find that big mill town by the sea Yea we’re movin’ to the west coast Where the air is free Yea we’re gonna find a new home Where the grass stays green

I’m tired of choppin wood, stuck out here misunderstood Here I am, I’m spittin the truth Grown tired of being alone, stuck out here in a rustic home Here I am, I’m spittin the truth That’s when you realise how lucky you are To live under that metal roof And it’s ringin true That’s when you realise how lucky you are To hear only the truth… I’m tired of running scared, running away from wolves and bears Here I am, I’m spittin the truth Tired of being afraid, running out of excuses I’ve made Here I am, I’m spittin the truth That’s when you realise how lucky you are To live under that metal roof And it’s ringin true That’s when you realise how lucky you are To hear only the truth… The smell of that yellow pine, sends me back to a better time Here I am, I’m spittin the truth Gonna send my five weight out, chuck it out without a doubt Here I am, I’m spittin the truth That’s when you realise how lucky you are To live under that metal roof And it’s ringin true That’s when you realise how lucky you are To hear only the truth…

Now or Never 05:06
If patience is a virtue, I’ve got it in spades If holding on is what you’d do, I’d like another fate Just might go out on the road, see how I’d fare With a guitar and a microphone, you just might find me there The thrill isn’t gone, it’s not for good I still got the love and I still got the soul I still got the love and I still got the soul Looks like I lost my way, but it’s not your fault If you’d like to cast the blame, it’s not you at all Just might go out on the road, see how I’d fare I’ve always wanted to see the South, heard it’s nice this time of year The thrill isn’t gone, it’s not for good I still got the love and I still got the soul I still got the love and I still got the soul I still got the love and I still got the soul Here I am on my own again, it’s a familiar fate I’d like to find a better way, and find that higher state Just might go out on the road, see how I’d fare With a guitar and a microphone, you just might find me there The thrill isn’t gone, it’s not for good I still got the love and I still got the soul I still got the love and I still got the soul I still got the love and I still got the soul
