the LYRICS

Freeway Outta Town
Zach Broocke, Misty Dawn Lawrence, Chad Brown

There’s a calm gentle breeze
Here in Nashville Tennessee
There’s a dog barkin’ in the distance
There’s a freeway outta town tempting me to leave

Baby’s on her way halfway to L.A. and the ocean
Cuz she couldn’t find a job and I just got myself a promotion
She took all of my love and now she’s got it for ransom
There’s a freeway outta town waiting there for me

There’s some old friends of mine
Don’t you worry I’ll be fine
While you’re watching out there in the distance
There’s a freeway outta town…that could bring you back to me

Solo

Let it go, come to me
Here in Nashville Tennessee
If you find that you ever get the notion
There’s a freeway outta town beggin’ you to leave

Bitter Pill
Zach Broocke, Troy Johnson, Tim Jones

I’ve broken every branch on this twisted family tree
I’ve choked on every half a chance you ever gave to me
The most that I can hope is that you got yourself some money for my ring

Heartache’s just a metaphor to make yourself feel better for
The places that you couldn’t be so cover up that canker sore
You might be worth a little more dead is what you said to me

I been livin’ in a backseat
Taken every wrong turn
Should’ve kept my mouth shut
Found a good church girl
Get my heart cut wind up with something I can’t kill
No I never wanna take another bitter pill
But I probably will

No one ever guesses it could ever be this good
Sleeping in the gutter in a gated neighborhood
If you wanna write my epitaph I’ll be in the back to laugh it off

You think you know what’s good for me it’s all there in your magazine
The latest in psychology now comes with free perfume
There’s no one here to say goodbye to me and everything I’ve tried to hold

I been livin’ in a backseat
Taken every wrong turn
Should’ve kept my mouth shut
Found a good church girl
Get my heart cut wind up with something I can’t kill
No I never wanna take another bitter pill
But I probably will

Every time I wake up
It’s always something new
All the memories I forgot always meant the most to you
Yeah, you can’t see the scar no more but lately I can feel the sting

I been livin’ in a backseat
Taken every wrong turn
Should’ve kept my mouth shut
Found a good church girl
Get my heart cut wind up with something I can’t kill
No I never wanna take another bitter pill
But I probably will

Four Leaf Clover
Zach Broocke, Misty Dawn Lawrence

Just wanna get the motor running
Don’t wanna wait till the morning sun
Just get a little bit of something working
Before I turn out the light

I’m gonna break every rule I’ve made up
Start believing everything’s alright
I just wanna be a happy camper
So I can get through tonight

I’ll try, I’ll try
Sippin’ on your holy water
Try yes I’ll try
Holding on to a four leaf clover

Let’s cut across that ocean darlin’
Hold up safely on the other side
The two of us can be so happy
No matter where that road winds

I’ll try, I’ll try
Sippin’ on your holy water
Try yes I’ll try
Holding on to a four leaf clover

Don’t wanna fool around
Just wanna lift this weight I’m under now
And I’m trying not to crawl
Just let me get my feet back on the ground

I’ll try, I’ll try
Sippin’ on your holy water
Try yes Ill try
Holding on to a four leaf clover

Like A Stone
Zach Broocke, Nick Gotten

Took a walk by the river babe
Just to catch my breath
Tired of chasin’ money honey
This town is just too heavy on my chest

Oh…time’s a wastin’ now
Holding me down
Like a stone
Give me your hand I belong to you
Steady and true
Like a stone
Like a stone
Cause the sun don’t even shine here anymore

See the water fill me up inside
Let it rise let it rise
Open my eyes and take me home

Feel the thunder underneath our tires
Let it ride let it ride
Clouds flying by
Take me home
Take us home
Cuz the sun round here gonna shine a little more

Now I see you
In the moonlight
Far beyond your western shore
And I’m holding on forever
No I won’t be scared no more

Oh…I’m feeling fine tonight
You by my side
Like a stone
Give me your hand I belong to you
Steady and true
Like a stone
Like a stone

Cuz the sun round here gonna shine a little more
Yeah the sun round here gonna shine a little more

Hallelujah
Zach Broocke

Winters’ come for both of us and the best that we could do
Was just another hand me down
Coupons on the kitchen table, that don’t pay the rent
Wish somebody’d help us out

Let’s take a ride Oh, Miss Mary Jane
Cause I’m tired of against the grain
While we’re holding on for the wind to change
Let’s sing!  La La La La
Hallelujah
La La La La
Hal – Le – Lu
Let’s sing!  La La La La
Hallelujah
La La La La
Hal – Le – Lu….Jah

Another year is barely here and I wish I had some proof
To let you know that we’ll survive
I know they say to keep the faith…but, loosen up the noose
Cuz we’re still dangling on the line

Let’s take a ride Oh, Miss Mary Jane
Cause I’m tired of against the grain
While we’re holding on for the wind to change
Let’s sing!  La La La La
Hallelujah
La La La La
Hal – Le – Lu…
Let’s sing!  La La La La
Hallelujah
La La La La
Hal – Le – Lu….Jah

They’ll pan for gold inside these tears
But I’m reaching out again
Cuz those clouds are gonna clear!

Let’s take a ride Oh, Miss Mary Jane
Cause I’m tired of against the grain
While we’re holding on for the wind to change
Let’s sing!  La La La La
Hallelujah
La La La La
Hal – Le – Lu…
Let’s sing!  La La La La
Hallelujah
La La La La
Hal – Le – Lu….Jah

Sinner and a Saint
Zach Broocke, Scott Simontacchi

I been walkin’ slowly
Shufflin’ my feet
Moving with the music and holding onto you
Is everything I’d need

From the outside looking in
Everything seemed like it should be fine
We got a new coat of paint on that old rusted gate
And two cars parked in the drive

But deep inside these four walls
There’s a couple of rules we can’t unbend
Words tried to escape but there was too much at stake
For my old muse, lover, friend

I been walkin’ slowly
Shufflin’ my feet
Moving with the music and holding onto you
Is everything I need

You been in the kitchen
Carrying your weight
You’re interpretation of all my imperfections
A sinner and a saint

So many wasted nights
All alone in my head
I keep bobbing and weaving and swinging at all
These people I’ve been

But I know it’s gonna be alright
Even if I’m stuck on this shelf
Cause every ending is another beginning I try to remind myself

That I been walkin’ slowly
Shufflin’ my feet
Moving with the music and holding onto you
Is everything I need

There may be rain out in the distance
But I’ve got no complaints
Don’t ask too many questions
Got a new set of directions
And I can hardly wait

Solo

I was walking slowly
Just about to faint
No more hiding in the dark now
It’s just about to start
For a sinner and a saint
No more hiding in the dark now
It’s just about to start
For a sinner and a saint

Sweet Ambrosia
Zach Broocke, Nick Gotten, Misty Dawn Lawrence

I been running around
This two dollar town
Nothing left to do
So I keep drinkin ‘em down
I’m gonna hold on
I’m gonna hold on to you

I wanna give it to you
I wanna get you around
I’m gonna blow my top
And never ever slow down
I wanna hold on
Hold on to the bottle with you

Take me down at the roadside hold my hand

Sweet Ambrosia wanna know ya
Have you on the edge of your seat
I’ve got the world on a straight line
Nowhere to go
Lord I been down out
Waiting on the west side soul

Play me that violin
I ain’t afraid of the sin
I’m not givin up
I’m not givin in
I wanna hold on
Hold onto the bottom with you

Take me down by the roadside and hold my hand

Sweet Ambrosia I wanna know ya
Oh you mean everything

Bridge/Solo

Take me down at the roadside hold my hand

Sweet Ambrosia wanna hold ya
Have you on the edge of your seat
I’ve got the world on a straight line
And anything goes
Come take me downtown
I’m waiting on the side of the road
Sweet ambrosia
Sweet ambrosia
Sweet ambrosia
Sweet ambrosia

In This Town
Zach Broocke

Let’s you and me take a little walk
All the way around our little block
Wish I could paint a piece for all my words for you
But I get caught up in
The orange, yellow, greens and blues

I still remember making plans
Your fingers wrapped inside my hands
The harvest moon was rising up over the hill
But I was standing still
Watching how your lips move

Oh my dear
I’ll rescue you
From the flames
We’ve been shaky through
Open doors and pray
Our hearts are wise
Don’t count us out it’s early babe
It’s barely been November babe
I’ll walk with you forever
In this town

You’ve been my partner in this crime
And I know it’s hell from time to time
But I know now
Where I belong
I’ll follow you

Take Me In
Zach Broocke, Scott Bennett

Hey, where have you been
I been waiting around since I don’t know when
Hmmm, chompin’ at the bit
A little more than I’d admit

Don’t come looking for me tomorrow
Cause I’m barely here tonight

Ooooh, Ooooh,  Oh Lord, Take me In
Ooooooh, Ooooooh, Yeah Lord, Take me In

Ways To Go
Zach Broocke, Misty Dawn Lawrence

It’s another day
Of this damned rain
And my little roof is beating like a drum
There’s bills to pay   
I throw them all away
No need to read what I already know
I’ll wait it out a little more

I’ve got a ways to go
That’s all my headlights know
Everybody seems to know just when the wind will blow
But I’ve got a ways to go

The road ahead
Just seemed to bend
And I get this funny feeling i was wrong
It’s gonna bump a bit
And maybe pitch a fit
The ember to the ashes then it’s gone
But I think I’m right where I belong

I’ve got a ways to go
That’s all my headlights know
Everybody seems to know just when the wind will blow
But I’ve got a ways to go

Oh the spinning tires they want to run away
Don’t even see the places that they go
I’d better watch out now
Somebody tell me how

I’ve got a ways to go
That’s all my headlights know
Everybody seems to know just when the wind will blow
But I’ve got a ways to go

I’ve got a ways to go
