Westbound Train

Well I ran away when I was 21
I took the Westbound Train in the setting sun
A few dollars in my pocket, a heart full of love
I took the Westbound Train in the setting sun
Stormed out the door abruptly without a good-bye
I'm feeling that Rocky Mountain high
A few dollars in my pocket, a heart full of love
I took the Westbound Train in the setting sun
Rolling through the planes of Iowa
I took a minute to realize what I'd done
I left you broken-hearted running from the law
And running from my daddy's ol shotgun
I'm not proud of the man I once was
A liar, cheater, stealer as a day job
I fell to the bottle and thought about the gun
I needed beauty to escape the damage I'd done

Fell in Love in Michigan

Called you on the phone
Said I'll be there within the hour
We can head out to Belle Isle
To watch the sunset
City lights beam off the water
Got my baby in my arms
There's no place I'd rather be
In love in MIchigan
You locked-up my heart
I'm ready to play the part
Some matches just strike
To keep it burning through a lifetime
Sometimes a man just knows
When it's all supposed to work out
Like an embedded boulder
I'm wanting to stay
As we roll down Woodward Ave
Your hand in my hand
There's no place I'd rather be
In love in Michigan
I fell in love in Michigan...

Make a New Start

Can't say that I stopped thinking about
That time we walked down old Lover's Lane
Felt like I could move a mountain
Felt like we could go all the way
Remember that cold winter's night
Full moon gleaming in your eyes
Our past put a hold on your fluttering heart
It's time we make a new start
It's time we make a new start
Throw all out troubles away
Baby it's just you and I
Let's start anew today
I'll get you that home in the hills
Out on that old dusty road
Tennessee's great for the family
Our dreams can become reality
So baby let's give this a go
Like the August moon takes the July sun
Our past put a hold on your fluttering heart
It's time we make a new start

Passing Time

Sunny skies, mid afternoon
Songbirds sing your daily tune
Open meadow and fields of green
Northern Michigan's tranquil scene
Someday you will meet your demise
So take it slow enjoy the ride
Immerse yourself in beauty to pass the time
What's the use in being found
When you escape to solid ground
the wildflowers so vibrant and true
Succumb to what you are meant to do
Someday you will meet your demise
So take it slow enjoy the ride
Immerse yourself in beauty to pass the time
On the day you meet your demise
Embrace it slowly enjoy the ride
Immerse yourself in beauty for the rest of time
