Harmony 03:22
Be my harmony darling for always Though you can’t carry a tune, that’s alright Be my harmony darling for always And let our music guide us through our lives As I step up on this wishing well My change is loose and some just fell And darling, I will let you wish for me What do you think that I might adore Remember I cannot love you more My love's already soaring at its peak Now I have slipped a bit and babe I know But so have you so lets just go And slip together now and always... Carry my... Well those first two months (our awkward phase) Well that worked out in many ways You’re the puzzle piece that completes my soul Or when the world seemed like a better place When freedom slapped us in the face Well it wasn’t, no it was nothing without you Baby, believe in this harmony oh and follow me To the ends of the earth So you can see what you are truly worth I’ll take your hand in mine Look inside your story-tellin’ eyes Baby, sing my song for as long as it takes

Do you remember August, standing in the dark Outside your house, the night before you left for college now I held you so close and I will not forget the part When I drove away then stopped just down the road Well it was hard, hard hard My tears kept getting bigger We've come so far, far far But the ending came much quicker And there's no need for regrets I've learned a lot and now I rest With the saga in my pocket and a life that hasn't stopped yet Determined as a rocket I'll still fly… I'll still fly Bitter sweet summers, they bring false hopes to my heart But maybe this one, love, maybe this one will be different now I've searched my soul for independence an unwanted second start I've yet to find it, but pretend smiles they look all the same Now we can't talk, talk talk apparently it brings complication So I'll take off, off off my wounded hopes and aspirations. Well the author of my twisted fairytale Is more than able to control Listen princess I don't like to fail

Just another day, bring on another day Time is meant for change to the dreaming runaway For now I lie awake in fear of my mistakes Will this persuading world persuade me to its ways? I look to mom whose saying goodbye to her last A quiet house awaits with only memories of the past And I don't know where my stepping stone may lay Or if it's stairs into an office or the stairs onto a stage But as I watch regrets and praises fall to place I'll just smile and watch the world move at it's pace Yeah, I'll just smile with sweet contentment on my face A bittersweet affair, I don't know how to care So I will just move on and hope to see you there And looking back I'll grin, it's all it could have been What would I do to live it all again? Won’t you pave one last step for me? Loosen the ropes around my wrist before I’m set free? Turn me over to God, would that be okay? He’ll untie the rest and let my arms be on their way

Come and walk with me down future street And maybe we can rub that crystal ball Well I’ll pass my friend because I know my future Is not moving at all I’ll attack my life on my toes Instead of letting my life attack me And besides I have an idea Of how my future will be 'Cause when I’m sixty-three out on my front porch With a guitar in my arms I’ll be singing music about the days that I’ve been through I will strum with style With a smile between the wrinkles of my face I’m a dreamer and I’ll dream my life come true Let the waves crash as my rhythm And the winds serve as my own harmonies I’ll invite over inspirations as my higher inspiration watches me Sing bedtime stories to my grandkids Play the old songs that I’ve always loved to sing Then crack a smile of remembrance Strumming chords and glancing down at my state ring " " I search my soul for a calling As my young eyes dream away I see my future and here’s the motto I will say 'I don’t need a crowd Unless a crowd is in the mood for what I say I’ll play the songs made for my friends But after church on Sundays' I’ll kiss my wife and say I love you Hit the lights prepared to do it all again Yeah, that’s what I see And man, I cannot wait for it to all begin

How many times must you fade away? Life throws you curves it’s your choice to stay Just as much as its mine to play today So won’t you come and play with me? Oh you’ll never know how it sets you free When your mind is on an angry spree just stop and breathe And strum with me today Let the rains fall down on my happy strings And the sun beat down till it slowly brings My thoughts combined with some other things that I will sing It’s funny how it works like that But I promise you that that’s a fact These are the aspects that are intact right here So come along with me And try to see the things I see ‘Cause I’ve been seeing things I’ve never seen before It comes from a place that’s fairly deep Where it is a little difficult for me to speak But not to deep for my heart to beat the words Lots will listen but few understand Now I might look like a confused man But this is all from my first hand and now to you And placed right there upon my tomb I want the lyrics of every single tune 'Cause someday, yes someday soon I'll wake And read that music nice and loud With all my memories nice and loud Memories in the form of sound that I will sing So come along with me 'Cause I've been seeing things I've never seen before

The Lincoln tunnel well it serves as my direction My rough walk or my great escape? My prayers avoided vast detection With one to search and one to relate Man I cannot stand the asphalt The smog doesn't leave much room to breathe Which brings my dreams to a quick halt And turns my eyes to Tennesee Now I don't classify as a southerner My accent's not quite there at all But tennesseee's my long last brother And man I dig a southern draw The city life has fallen into a deep hole So I'm here right now, with these orange people So here I am I'm stuck in the middle Though Virginia, sweet Virginia, yes you'll always be home to me I'll miss this place more than a little For it wrote me more songs than I can sing

Julia 04:11
Dear my love, I write confined in ol' Jeff city I’m shackled from every sense I have of home But luckily babe, I surround myself with photographs It’s not quite the same, but your blue eyes still speak to me Step through your frame oh, Julia Into the life I’m livin’ You’ll see my pain without you girl But hopes for us both keep me driven Dear my love, how’s the winter up in Blacksburg? You’re shackled from the summer sun against your skin As for me, I’ve made amends here with the winter Only because the summer memories I retain And I know you hold them too Sometimes I feel like they're all I have So keep your promise wrapped around your finger As we step to the home stretch, babe I’m a believer I am over my head with you But somehow, I like the drowning The things that I love, I just can’t leave The days till unity I still keep counting
8.
NoVa Love 06:02
Let’s just breathe one last breath of unity Well every push will come to shove When it strikes you from above But I’ll always have, I’ll always have my NoVa love Strike a match give me light through this darkened walk It’s hard to see through expectations and the hopefully talk As I stumble through the mountains of life’s new phase I find my peace, my sense of home in this familiar place I dig my feet into the ground that’s now a part of me And breathe the air that brings us back to true camaraderie I raise a toast with the friends who know how home should be The good ol' days never seemed to be so new to me A lesson from me to you few things in life are true But it all comes down to the very few that get you through Though most original crews will search for something new The 703 will live and breathe what made our youth Every push will come to shove when it strikes you from above But I’ll always have, I’ll always have my nova love So maybe one day, yeah someday, maybe, someday soon I’ll grace a stage far away from the hometown crew And through the madness I’ll go back with this very tune And see the faces of my beginnings pushing my song through Let’s just breathe one last breath Yeah you and me, ‘cause we’re all set Set to be free So let’s accept what life will bring ‘cause we’ve all kept our unity

Well I'm no six string magic man But I move around ok I once met a six string magic man His eyes would squint when he would play Fingers would bleed on his left hand But he liked to play with the pain A starving student to the one man band He clicked a switch in my right brain And I fall to my knees so I can… Find my place deep inside my mind Where I can race ideas of different kinds Then spit them out with my guitar behind The truth that made the orphan song become mine Well I sang with him as the music played A color that he'd never seen And I combined words that he wished he'd made Then together lived the dream Well lyrically speaking is my way of leaking my given thoughts on a given day I cut back to the orgin of hometown love where I pride myself in things I say I will pour my soul in my guitar but guitars will never speak So I bridge the gap from song to rap tip tap your toes with me
10.
Baby here I am, I told you through song I’m not so far Darling rest your head and remember who you are Just like we're back home again Yeah, like we're back home again There you are girl making that walk up to my door A basement movie night again Light my home with your walk across me floor Yeah I miss home again And you’re where it all begins Oh my darling, oh my princess, come and lay with me This is your song to remember as we lay fast asleep Though I’m not there to make you smile I’m there to help you dream Of the future we’ll be holding when God lets us speak And above all the noise of the trails Hear my love echo, yeah, echo through the miles So baby if you feel like your mind can’t draw my face Close your eyes just like you used to When I’d serenade you to a place You once called home again Yeah, you once called home again This is never a conclusion but an anthem in itself Just a song to hold us over till it’s you and myself And we're back home again, soon we’ll be home again

Somebody 06:00
Somebody saved me I was a fool for far too long But I learned lately To live the good life before it’s gone I’ll mix some right with a bit of wrong I broke down baby I hit the ground so many times Till I was carried Relearned to walk but now I fly I dig the music but need the rhyme ‘Cause I know the perfect life cannot be found And I’m so thankful that I found that now ‘Cause I’ll go smiling in battle and singin’ loud I went the wrong way But somebody stopped me in my tracks Explained the replay I can journey on and journey back Mistaking mystery for fact I’ve played the same game So many times but never learned To play the right way Instead I’m reckless with no concern Play with the fire, expect the burn
