1.
An open social reaction And all of life's dissatisfaction Well I can't pinpoint the attraction And all at once we're losing traction 3-2-1...Reaction A right turn and every intersection Because the truth is all a person needs To make his heart and soul bleed And all right there for the world to see A window where my secret walls should be Looming over me An open social reaction And all of life's dissatisfaction Well I can't pinpoint the attraction

900 Miles 01:31
Decide to walk and walk 900 miles away And think of everything I'd say If you decide to call today And if you don't it's just the same We were 300 miles deep 300 miles ago We still got 300 miles to go I know I know I know That everybody says that it's a rocky road And oh I know I know I know Just want to keep my eyes open to watch you walk away And keep them both wide open make sure you're gone to stay

Come On Back 02:30
I just love the way we all are I miss the way we used to sit and pass around a guitar In the yard after dark underneath the moon and stars And all sprawled out in the field behind the park I tell ya buddy you're my guy and I remember we would fly And speculate what life is like on the other side And I wish I could see you again And I wish I could see you again I tell ya brother I know the game and I know the shame Of looking in the mirror and cursing my own name But oh Lord looking back we really cut each other slack When we give each other flack come together and attack So come on back Come on back Come on back I wish I could see you again And I wish I could see you again And I wish I could see you again And I wish I could see you again And when I start to feel a little blue If I repeat enough certainly it comes true I wish I could see you again And I wish I could see you again I wish I could see you again

If I dig deeper I'm just bound to implode But I'm still trying to find that something that's going to settle my soul You came along when I had really lost control You came along and stood me up and pulled me out of this hole I feel this burning burning deep inside of me Running around in circles trying to figure what it means to be free I figured out that life was just a mystery Running around in circles trying to figure what it means to be free But there's a place that I had seen Where love does truly ring Deeper than our sleep And higher than the songs we sing

Solitaire 03:53
Day seven and I'm still struggling to sleep And I still can't bring myself to eat I got no strength left to stand on my feet My mind's been racing tangled up with fright At the possibility that you just might Find a new man to hold you close at night and hold you oh so tight Nothing's here to break my falling down Except the cold hard unforgiving ground Ever since you stopped coming around I'm weary and I'm rattling to my bones And I'm playing solitaire and getting stoned Oh the thrill of being alone Sit and stare at the phone Darlin won't you please come home Day nine I feel it's time that I unwind Because I'm feeling partly fine...part of the time And there's no use sitting around and crying Feel like I woke up wearing brand new skin And I'm breathing that brand new oxygen I never want to fall back asleep again Still I'm weary and I'm rattling to my bones And I'm playing solitaire wishing I was stoned Oh the thrill of being alone Sit and stare at the phone Darlin won't you please come home Darlin won't you please come home

I said some things I didn't mean One of them was goodbye I said goodbye for the last time I said goodbye Got lost in Sandusky Took state route number 4 Because it went right by my door Right by my door I may never get home again May never get home again I may never get home again A policeman stopped me Had my headlights turned off He said get off of my road I had to find another way home I may never get home again May never get home again I may never get home again I said some things I didn't mean One of them was goodbye I said goodbye for the last time I said goodbye
