Long is the night when I'm driving alone It’s just me in the car and you’re back at home With a bottle of wine and a smile that says ‘come on in’ It’s dark outside and poring with rain But there’s joy in here, I’m coming home again Coming back to you, one mile at a time Throw open that door……. and hold me Baby never let me go We both know its been way too long Could you please please…. forgive me I know not what I do But sometimes I must bear a heavy load And you know I was born for the road As the radio plays I’m singing along To a tune we danced to in a time long gone And I feel you now, just like I did then When I get home it’s like we were never apart But when I leave it simply breaks your heart So I guess we know, something has to change Throw open that door……. and hold me Baby never let me go We both know its been way too long Could you please please…. forgive me I know not what I do But sometimes I must bear a heavy load And you knLong is the night when I'm driving alone It’s just me in the car and you’re back at home With a bottle of wine and a smile that says ‘come on in’ It’s dark outside and poring with rain But there’s joy in here, I’m coming home again Coming back to you, one mile at a time Throw open that door……. and hold me Baby never let me go We both know its been way too long Could you please please…. forgive me I know not what I do But sometimes I must bear a heavy load And you know I was born for the road As the radio plays I’m singing along To a tune we danced to in a time long gone And I feel you now, just like I did then When I get home it’s like we were never apart But when I leave it simply breaks your heart So I guess we know, something has to change Throw open that door……. and hold me Baby never let me go We both know its been way too long Could you please please…. forgive me I know not what I do But sometimes I must bear a heavy load And you know I was born for the road 500 miles and it’s getting late But you’re waiting there by that rusty gate Just like you’ve always been, with beauty in your eyes Our home is warm the fire alight The prefect scene on a perfect night To be home again with our love shining bright Throw open that door……. and hold me Baby never let me go We both know its been way too long Could you please please…. forgive me I know not what I do But sometimes I must bear a heavy load And you know I was born for the road You know I was born for the roadow I was born for the road 500 miles and it’s getting late But you’re waiting there by that rusty gate Just like you’ve always been, with beauty in your eyes Our home is warm the fire alight The prefect scene on a perfect night To be home again with our love shining bright Throw open that door……. and hold me Baby never let me go We both know its been way too long Could you please please…. forgive me I know not what I do But sometimes I must bear a heavy load And you know I was born for the road You know I was born for the road

Move On 03:58
I didn’t know if I’d ever have the courage To close the door and leave it all behind I still can’t find the words to tell that story And when it comes to my tomorrow I’m flying blind My favourite bar was out of my favourite whisky A bottle of beer wouldn't take the pain away So I turn the key and head out to the border The radio's on and the music seems to say Gotta Move on to a different type of country Gotta move on to a better part of town Say goodbye to the devil that stood beside me Walk away from a life that brought me down Gotta move on, head held high and not turn around I finally found the one that understands me Makes me smile just like I used to do There’s a real long road that leads me back to glory But every step helps this old heart renew Gotta Move on to a different type of country Gotta move on to a better part of town Say goodbye to the devil that stood beside me Walk away from a life that brought me down Gotta move on, head held high and not turn around There’s at least two sides to every situation And the quietest voice often speaks the truth If you listen just to those who shout it loud from the roof You’ll only have the gossip….. And not the proof Gotta Move on to a different type of country Gotta move on to a better part of town Say goodbye to the devil that stood beside me Walk away from a life that brought me down Gotta move on, head held high and not turn around

Hold My Hand 04:28

Deep in the woods in the south of this land Lived a girl with a dream who was hatching a plan She bought a guitar and she wrote a few songs And wherever she played they would all singalong She pedalled her tunes ‘round the clubs and the bars Playing for drinks or the tips in a jar Then out of the dark came a sharply dressed man With the promise of fortune and fame in his hand Come and sing with me 'bout the heart that I wear on my sleeve Come and sing with me Its the reason that I live and breathe No matter the voice, no matter the mood No matter who’s higher or lower than you If your soul is in need of the sun or the moon Then drop all your worries and follow my tune Interviews, radio, stadiums played Albums that sold by the thousand a day Fan clubs and limos and photos to sign But there in her hand was barely a dime When lights were turned down and the crowds had all gone Back in her room with the radio on A song from the past started filling the room And she knew in her heart what she had to do So she took the bus home With just her guitar Back to the place where her people left more than just tips in a jar Come and sing with me 'bout the heart that I wear on my sleeve Come and sing with me Its the reason that I live and breathe No matter the voice, no matter the mood No matter who’s higher or lower than you If you’re soul is in need of the sun or the moon Then drop all your worries and follow my tune… If you’re soul is in need of the sun or the moon Then drop all your worries and follow my tune

Without You 03:27
Your chestnut eyes, shine like the sun Your morning smile, tells me I’m the one The way you hold me warms, me to my core I can’t be without you, anymore You know my heart, better than I do I’ll answer the call but only cause it’s you This love is real, this love is raw I can’t be without you any more I give thanks each day for your kisses and the way you hold my hand And understand There we lay, in the afterglow We pray to god, still we must go With tears in our eyes, we close the door And I can’t be without you any more
