Good Ole' Days Album

Lyrics

Chorus Gold on your skin, blue in your eyes Sunburn skin and sleepless nights If forever's just a word we say I'll mean it every damn way Salt in your hair from the ocean breeze Barefoot dancing on some dim lit streets Sun going down on this half-lit town Every time you laugh, the world slows down You wrote your name in the fogged-up glass I traced a heart like it wouldn't pass Funny how love feels reckless and right Like jumping in deep water late at night Late at night Repeat Chorus Late night swims in the blackest blue Laughing like we got nothing to lose Your head on my chest, yeah, we're counting stars Talking bout dreams like they're already ours Already ours Repeat Chorus I don't know where the road might bend But I know who I'm holding then Every breath, every risk I take I don't love, love halfway Repeat Chorus
There's a coffee cup next to a lip-stained glass From a night I wish I could leave in the past Empty bottles make you forget In the morning, I wake up and drown in regret Oh, drown in regret Oh I've been struggling with sorrow Trying to find my way to a new light I'm not proud of the man I've been You gotta know the past made me who I am Oh, who am I Oh Chorus Ohh I'm drowning in regret From the things I know, I will never forget Like the way it feels when the liquor hits my lips Or the nights I swore to God I would quit Rich ain't money rich is a bible worn thin So why do I focus on all my sins Seems like I'm searching for light in the dark Thinking brokenness might somehow save the soul I got Bible verses around my wrist Yet I'm holding the things that I should quit That I should quit Ohh Repeat Chorus
Here you came walking in Right in this little dive bar Playing eye tag across the room Already I'm falling for you Walked up to buy you a drink Girl, you got that million-dollar smile We start talking, and it seems like Something more than this cheap whisky Chorus Neon lights and dollar bill skies I found heaven in your eyes In a rundown bar on the edge of town You spun my whole world around Your kiss tastes like gasoline Sweet and wild and evergreen Every spark's a match you light Putting color in my black and white Putting color in my black and white Repeat Chorus Maybe it's just a Friday night Maybe it's just the buzz If this whole thing crashes down I'd still say it was worth the fall Cause I'd rather burn with you tonight Than never light at all Repeat Chorus From that first look across the bar I knew right then you'd steal my heart 8-ball corner and last call lights All or nothing, solid or stripes
I remember growing up, it happens so fast Learning quickly from the things in my past Thinking how I could make this world a better place I feel like I'm broken trying to escape I got friends that took to drinking Like a match takes to a flame Said it helps to kill the silence But it only feeds the shame Chorus There's dust in my lungs And doubt in my chest The world's on fire And we call it progress Everybody's preaching but Nobody's listening We're all just hurting And we call it living Mama keeps a Bible open On a table by her chair Pages worn Like she's searching for repair She says, "Son, this world's evil and broken, just give your life to the lord." Repeat Chorus Grace is coming You have to be ready for the climb There's dust in my lungs and It's not fading with the time Just look around, all you see is sin We're all broken Broken in sin Repeat Chorus
I've been thinking about it for sometime The city lights just keep on passing time And maybe I'm wrong for betting on my life But I don't wanna ask "what if" when the time's gone by Chorus I'm heading down old 35 Just trying to find my way to a new light Got calloused hands just trying to chase a life And the wind pushing me to fly So I'm chasing dreams in the pouring rain Trading comfort for a shot at a bigger name I'm giving it my all, I'm giving it everything And the money doesn't mean a thing to me Repeat Chorus Someday I'll come back through my hometown Playing the same sad songs that got me out I look around these faded city signs I see this town a little different now Repeat Chorus
Fighting for a change that I know will never come And it hurts me and burns me in my soul There's a bottle on the nightstand where I'd sleep Seeing too many faces I couldn't keep Chorus Cause I'm not used to this thing called sober love When the only thing talking was the buzz Every word and every feeling comes to stay I don't know what I'm doing so I just pray, I've learned love in an old broke down bar Where brokenness never told the truth I'm not used to loving in the morning light I'm just used to loving through the night Repeat Chorus I'm not scared of love, I promise you girl I'm sorry, I'm not used to morning love I've been broken one too many times I'm just fighting to stay alive I'm just fighting to stay alive 1,2,3,4 Repeat Chorus
There's a worn-out Bible on the passenger seat And a cross hanging from my neck I've been running hard from the man I was Just trying to be something new Now I ain't the man I used to be Though I've still got miles to go But Jesus walks beside these roads Wherever the rivers flows Chorus So I'll go where the river flows Where the good Lord only knows Past the fields and these state lines And the man I left behind Yeah, the broken finds redemption Where the good lord only knows Cause the Savior loves the wanderers Walking where the river flows Repeat Chorus With my 6-string and a broken prayer And the midnight wind in the air If salvation's down the road I'll find it where the river flows
Sitting 'round the campfire with all my friends Talking about life like we had a plan Sitting in this circle talking bout are sins Laughing at memories of the people we've been Chorus Take me back to the good ole' days Before this life became such a maze Playing outside till the moon came up No worries in this world except growing up Back when a dollar felt like it was enough And every problem just wasn't that tough We stayed out late as the years went fast Making memories we didn't know would last Repeat Chorus Every night that moon shines bright Brings me back to a simpler time Dreams got heavier as the years went by We learned how to fall, but forgot how to fly Repeat Chorus
