Who's Left To Believe 04:50
lyrics
buy track
He comes to you for all your reasons Take a trick from the blind man's treason A show of hands, who here understands? You have the way promise you'll show me Don't look away after you own me Do you have the dream that will come true Who's left to believe Everyone on earth has a basic need If you take away the trust, take away the love Who's left to believe You can advertise the answers behind your greed I won't pay the price to believe in you I could be a loner or I could have it all Then you sit back and wait for me to crawl I don't have to crawl You shape your world for hire Form a line to the right Will our freedom take us through the night © 1993 Gibson/Smith

Come Into My Heart 05:29
lyrics
buy track
It's quiet on the south end of town tonight There's nothing to see but what's been left to see Johnny and Mary out on the town tonight Thinking of someplace else they'd rather be If you come into my heart I can't let you escape There's just not enough out there to need It's the ones who are selfish And the ones who are sane That find a place in this world to succeed Don't you know that I can't live my life alone Don't you know that when you cut me I bleed If you see the tears roll down my face tonight Just remember who showed you the way The way to chip the ice, the way to shout it out Now only a moment for the light to fade I see myself too well I stood and then I fell No one to blame at all We stand and then we fall It's quiet on the south end of town tonight Nothing to see but who's left holding the key Johnny and Mary out on the town tonight Hoping between themselves it's the last place they'll see © 1993 Gibson/Smith

Simple Life 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Don't need no hubcaps to make it go round Don't need no landscape to put on the ground Don't need no linen to make me look nice Keep your mind open, take a look twice Don't need no palace on top of the hill Don't need no hard line to give me a thrill Haven't got the drive, to go one-eighty-five I got this thing about stayin alive The simple life's alright with me The simple life just lets me be The simple life I have no doubt at all the simple life's a luxury Cause simple's my reality The simple life's no fantasy to me I can see you think I'm foolin' You can say you don't think I'm smooth I got this line that I can't cross And my simple days they see me through Don't need no plastic to give me a charge Don't need no lights to make me a star I got a woman that knows who I am She loves the fact that I'm a simple man © 1993 Gibson/Smith

Everything 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I wake up and she's not there I try to hold her but she's not there Everything she means to me Is everything I want to see oh year How I miss her so I see her smile when she's not here It takes a while to stop the tears Everything she means to me Is everything I want to see again Why she had to go Is there something I should know All I do is sit around a-cryin' Time keeps ticking away But the hurt still wants to stay I could say I'm ok, but I'm a lyin © 1994 Gibson/Smith

Girl Like That 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Did you see her, did you tell her Everything's all right I know how she is, you know how you are You think she's all right With all the things that she means to you I can't believe the life you put her through I never understood this loyal kind Who live to prove that love is blind You don't see her, she needs you near her But she'll let me know You say you love her, but you still cover What you're afraid to show I don't want to tell her what to do I'll just tell her when they're finally through Will she follow when he makes his tracks You know you don't deserve a Girl Like That I remember when you held her hand Situations sometimes spoil your plans With all the things she means to you I can't believe the life you put her through But she waits to take you right back You don't deserve a Girl Like That © 1994 Gibson/Smith

The Last Thing 05:05
lyrics
buy track
I feel the symptoms burning up in me I feel temptation rising in degrees The last thing I heard was the first thing I saw You had your mission and I had my law The last thing I heard was the first thing I saw I'm behind the wheel driven by my soul I've seen the destination, it keeps me in control I was left to your devices; you had me won I know that I kissed you but you never slipped me the tongue You don't know now what's inside now © 1994 Gibson/Smith

Love's So Far 05:16
lyrics
buy track
I have so many games to keep me occupied If I said I had it all then I would have lied I just started thinking one solitary day No one lights my candle; no one shares my flame When love's so far away There's one thing you should know, I revolve around the son It's something that I look for when I'm looking for the one When love's so far away Seeing her here (Will I ever know) Makes it so clear (It was so long ago) Knowing what to do (Since my something new) Got to see it, I've got to see it through Nothing will change (I can't stay the same) Stages rearrange (I'll find someone to blame) I laugh on my own (trying to get home) But it seems like I've never grown When love's so far away... © 1994 Gibson/Smith

Running 05:34
lyrics
buy track
Out in the dark of the night My feelings holding you tight Unleash the smile to your face Something to never erase I want to touch you I hope that I can And there's something that tells me It's part of the plan You see the sunshine all day And clouds just won't come your way As you look out to me You like what you think you see I'll tell you something I've known from the start That you can't take a loan from a borrowed heart Feels like you're running, I know you're running And I see it's your pride, God knows you've tried Looks like you're fighting, and it gives up what you're hiding If I could stay, you might find the way Seems like your existence puts up a resistance I know there's times you've been burned Something to live for is something to die for I know there's a life to be given that's ours all the way Out in the dark of the night Everything seems to be right Unleash the smile to your face Somehow it cannot replace Everything that's been taken away And there's times that you wonder What's gonna stay © 1994 Gibson/Smith

Fearless 04:42
lyrics
buy track
It seems somehow in the dawn When you're out on the road alone Cliches of the night can infiltrate, penetrate, inebriate Turn your head to the sky Is someone calling your name? Too scared to go where you're told to go Living slow, the last to know Tear off another day Wipe off some more of the past Learn to be humble before you're old The wind blows cold, upon your soul I'm human just like you Goodness always knows the mistakes But I put my fate in a higher hand Didn't make a plan, gave up my stand Don't be afraid to be fearless Freedom comes from letting go Don't be afraid to be fearless Find the ones who will know You can't walk away He'll always find you You can't walk away © 1994 Gibson/Smith

The Real One 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Close the door now turn the key There's enough of you and me To satisfy a whole life through With all the things that we explore We finally found what we're looking for And it's as simple as it's meant to be Don't you know we've found the real one (Living on it's own) Don't you know that we can Live the future, love the past Know this time it's meant to last I think of how I used to be Treasure locked inside of me I always wanted to let go, and now you know I've got the symptoms that's for sure But I ain't looking for no cure There's nothin' common 'bout the lovin' kind I think you'll find © 1994 Gibson/Smith
