With my ear to the wind
I can hear the sound
Of your voice and the words
That keep holding me down
So I will listen to the stories
My father has taught me
And follow my ghost home
As a kid I remember
What it was to be
The King of the castle
And Lord of the sea
With everything in its right place
Until the years took it all away
A blue collar boy
With rough skin
His Grandfathers
But an artist within
To lead a simple life
Would keep me afloat
But I'd sink without an open road

Quiet One

There's days I sit and miss my girl
She'd sell her soul to prove herself
And I wish history would turn to wealth
She's the reason that I am myself
I am a quiet one
A quiet one
I am a quiet one
A quiet one
I wonder if I'll die alone
Stranded in the open sea
With no mountains to echo the things I see
Death's at my doorstep waiting for me
I am a quiet one
A quiet one
I am a quiet one
A quiet one
There's nothing worse then worthless words
So I'll take my chances on the oceans current
The fog falls down and blots the sun
So the weak can see what they've become
I am a quiet one
A quiet one
I am a quiet one
A quiet one

Loaded Gun

In the words of my Father
I'm a hard working man
And my Mother she'd say
That I have so much to give
But I'm pulled underneath
By the under toe
Looking for the open road
Oh, Lord
What have I done
I've put all my things
Into a loaded gun
High up above
Flies the angel of death
Singing soft memories
That lay me to rest
But I'm pulled underneath
By the under toe
Hoping for the open road
Oh, Lord
What have I done
I've put all my things
Into a loaded gun

Wandering Eyes

Stand up
And show your face
Come out of the dark
In the mirror
There's no place for me
But a flicker of candle light
I'm in the cold
Of another blue winter
And these roads go on for miles
And through your window
I see an empty home
And, your wandering eyes
Wandering eyes
