Numbered There's a homemade cross on the side of Lake road I cleared the weeds off a couple days ago where I lost a friend...to a head on crash His football jersey, lucky number five was hangin’ on a chair graduation night where he should have been...man i want him back Seventeen and bullet proof, is what we’d always say I still feel the silence, from they read his name It was a wake up call, a warning shot a kick in the gut reminder, right now is all I’ve got gonna live and love, like tomorrows gone cause all my days are numbered, and I don’t know which one I’m on Well it hit me hard when I got the news Drove To his house fighting back the truth hoping he was there…working on his truck we had plans that summer for a big road trip to get to every beach that was on our list throw some cold ones down, and rack some memories up talking bout those college girls, and how we’d spend our lives we had everything ahead of us, and nothin’ but sweet time Chorus So I try to soak in every moment now, like it might be my last and Thank God for every speck of sand in my hourglass Chorus

Lose Myself © Miller/Parker/Townley I was cowboy tough Fast and furious A little bit myth a whole lot of trail dust Hell bent and head strong Good at gettin’ gone till your beautiful came along Now I feel settled into my skin, Long gone from how I was living Fine with dropping my defenses You’re the steady to my reckless The pick me up for all of life’s problems one kiss i forget I got em The shelter I love running to That’s what I find … when I lose myself in you I thought love Would feel like being stuck Told myself I’d have to give up too much But here I am Holding your hand Still not the best, but a better man CHORUS Bridge In the hurricane, you’re the harbor lights The front porch swing to this gypsy life CHORUS

On My Family Tree © Donna Valentine/Mitch Townley (v1) Red dirt poor pedigree Farmer's tan, a working man’s mentality Roots run deep as they are proud A history of holding on and holding out Seeds of faith sown in this ground of mine A steady stream of hope for when the dreams run dry Worst of times don’t get the best of me Cause giving up don’t grow on my family tree (v2) No tailgate, rusty hood Dented door, but it’s paid for and running good Sagging porch, leaky roof Don't get me down cause what I've got is weatherproof Faith in God and an honest life Love my country, my two kids, and my wife These lean times won't get the best of me Cause giving up don't grow on my family tree (bridge) Break of dawn starts a new day again Fields need tending so my family can be fed I keep digging in this soil of mine Knowing that there'll come a harvest time (v3) Daddy was a dust bowl child Born in Boise City, nineteen thirty five Leathered skin, sweat-soaked brow Calloused hands from drawing life out of the ground Poured his soul into this land Breaking back and giving thanks for what he had Buried him where they'll bury me Resting in the shade, of my family tree

Deeper Shade Of Love Mitch Townley/Lee Johnson Felt like a million miles between us, at the kitchen table last night the silence hung there heavy, how’d we get so far from right? we’re like strangers in the same house, putting walls up we don’t need There’s no use pointing fingers, you can lay the blame on me I just want us back, to how we used to be I’ll do anything it takes run barefoot through the pain lay down my pride, man up tonight change what needs to change we’re like a faded photogragh but we can bring the colors back when we get through the tough baby we’ll end up in a Deeper Shade Of Love I guess we took for granted, our song would always play It’s like someone changed the station, now the beat just ain’t the same we lost our strong connection, but we can turn our hearts around dance the way we used to dance, our feet barely on the ground if we both believe, we can get back there right now Ch 2 Then Bridge: baby please come here, if you let me, hold you closer, you’ll see we’re not as far apart as it seems…. Ch 3 Breakdown then big, then vamps out
