Trouble Came 03:03
I was steadfast and I was sane I was steadfast and I was sane And the book of job came ringing Ringing through my brain I was safe and I was careful yet trouble came Well I was watched over and I was true I was watched over and I was true And I stayed out of folks business And I stayed out of harm’s way I was safe I was protected yet trouble came Little child with your head in the clouds You know there aint no place to hide People get petty and people get proud So just open your arms out wide Cus there ain’t no door been built that can keep it out Cus there ain’t no door been built that can keep it out And there ain’t no wall constructed that will not fall away I was safe I was careful yet trouble came

Seaplane 03:34
Well I skimmed the surface but I stayed on top Floated there like a boat that dropped They looked at me like I was insane I’m the first man to ever land a seaplane Birds came up, dolphins too They wondered what this machine might do Radio called from New York and L.A To the first man to ever land a seaplane Maps and measures they fall away into the sea Birds of paradise and birds of prey they looks the same all look the same There’s some kind of light when you smile like you do The airs all white and the water’s all blue There’s some kind of light when you call my name Like I’m the first man to ever land a seaplane

Bead 02:38
The night burns me up The day burns me down I thought consequences were something I’d drown In a watery grave somewhere far off at sea But they drew a bead on me The man at my local He sure damned my eyes And I still miss getting drinks there sometimes I was watching the weather just to see what it’d do When I drew a bead on you Lady I can’t lie And my ears they do ring I thought consequences were something I’d chain up And sink to the bottom of a running by stream But they drew a bead on me

Well I’m a town born child I’ve got braces on my name And you can bet when I show up I bring all my ghosts with me Well I’m a town born son And when the morning comes I wash off the dust of the dreams That I never got done Now I’m keeping an eye out for you Cause you come from where I want to go to You’ve got the melodies and music in your ear So sing this town born child away from here Well I’m a town born son And all my teachers knew my brothers And when I stepped into a classroom I was just like the others I’m a town born child But my mind’s been wondering out for a while And I never pushed fast or forward But I always could hold my tongue and force a smile Now I’m keeping an eye out for you Cause you come from where I want to go to You’ve got the melodies and music in your ear So sing this town born child away from here On my own driving home I dream of summer in the winter Summer in the winter And when spring comes on I skip my stones But never watch when they go under Watch when they go under and down Now I’m keeping an eye out for you Cause you come from where I want to go to You’ve got the melodies and music in your ear So sing this town born child away from here

Piano 03:31
Hey there mister You saved my ass from jail I owe you little something A little something that’s not for sale I know I gotta get right But getting right’s all gone wrong Open those eyes I love those pretty songs I want to wave my hands in time I want the world to know your mine, dear If the piano in your house never gets played We’ll learn to play Hey there mister You roll out all the stops The sirens are ringing but I'm not afraid of cops You bring me back home You bring me back safe and sound Open those eyes I’m coming back around I want to wave my hands in time I want the world to know your mine, dear If the piano in your house never gets played We’ll learn to play

Well the cards have been cursed And our band can’t rehearse The drummer can’t tell a four from a two And I know I lost my chance with you as soon as you arrived As soon as you as you saw how I Was just a man without a moment A man without a moment to lose Now it’s easy to bet It’s easy to just forget And buy a brand new pair of shoes But sometimes it not so simple to be satisfied and fun And not jump the gun When you’re a man without a moment A man without a moment to lose Sugar drips down from the mountain But it never drips down that far You can wish on a star or a fountain But you can’t wish away what you are Well some men fall in traps And they get a bum rap When they’re too easy to see through But sometimes it’s not so easy to be honest and brave And hide your love away When you’re a man without a moment A man without a moment to lose A man without a moment to lose

Begin Again 03:04
To begin again, to begin again I’m not looking to begin all this again So here’s what I know All the best things come crooked All the best things come out of their minds So let’s dance dosido Don’t sit down good looking We’ve got silver and gold on the line So sugar don’t cry Somebody needs the bed I’m not looking to begin again I’m not looking to begin all this again Well we could drive through the cold Until the bedrock gets busted Or we could sit on our hands through the night And when the sun starts to cook All the laws on the books You and I will still be just fine So sugar don’t cry Somebody needs the bed I’m not looking to begin again I’m not looking to begin all this again So here’s what I know All the best things come crooked All the best things come out of their minds So sugar don’t cry Somebody needs the bed I’m not looking to begin again I’m not looking to begin all this again
