(Verse)
I like to go fishing
But I cast and I keep wishing
That the trail I blazed found its long road home
I just begun to walk again
Hope no one sees my dirty hands
Though someone waits I still feel all alone.
(Pre-Chorus)
So I ride the next town over
With my six-string in tow
As I sing my favorite tune
And follow the silvery moon
(Chorus)
I’ve bent and broke and paid my share
I carved my name in a wooden stair
So let this cowboy samurai ride
I know this highway like I know myself
I’ll kick my troubles on the shelf
So let this cowboy samurai to ride.
(Verse)
I’m spoiled by the lack of thrills
But I still ride uphill
It’s a second climb and another darkened rhyme.
(Pre-Chorus)
So I ride the next town over
Wait for my big break to show.
I look at Monday’s New Moon
As I sing my favorite tune.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I just trust my fragile wings
I’m sick of all the shame
In spite of all I do for love
It haunts me every day
What it would take to be a man
I’d give it up for you
No god, no guns
Just one more bittersweet tattoo.
(Chorus)

(Verse)
Feels like you’re so far away in history.
You pray hard all day but you still make two dollars an hour.
Loneliness pays when you bet all your cash
On the things that could keep you alive
And when it’s all gone you are left alone to wipe up the debt.
(Pre-Chorus)
There’s a reason we’re born here and now
So let us be heroes tonight
It’s this time and place to fight these dark days
And we’ll lead planet Earth into light.
(Chorus)
In time…
When I touch the sky
I see your face in all its grace
I look to the stars and I find
This time…
The world is our oyster
So grab my hand, and take this chance
It all gets better in time
(Verse)
Feels like you’re so far away in misery.
You care so much but it’s harder than hell to find love.
Strong and heroic, you walk many miles
And death lingers closer to you
There’s no one to wonder why you locked yourself in your room.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
We’re dark alone, afraid and full of sin
Despite this somewhere sometimes we fight and win
(Chorus)

(Verse)
We're dancing around this barren wasted land
Our bayonets are guided by our hands
And still the sun shines down polluted skies
Reflecting beats of our hearts the meaning of our lives
We were the same ever since the days we were born
Our fates intertwined these dreams that we have torn
As the seconds slow down I catch a glimpse
Behind your eyes I know you remember that kiss
(Pre-Chorus)
So grab my passport
I’m back from the dark
(Chorus)
My soul was shattered in the mirror, a few years ago.
Now the contract is torn up, and I’ll go it alone.
So dry you weary eyes, there’s nothing left to fear.
‘Cos through the darkness and storms, I’ll always be here.
(Verse)
And with this true heart, I’ll sweep the nation tonight
Do anything to take you back; to make our stars collide.
I’ll redeem every failure just to hold you tight.
I’ll fight when you can no longer look through your eyes.
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
My soul was shattered in the mirror, a few years ago.
Now the contract is torn up, and I’ll go it alone.
So dry you weary eyes, there’s nothing left to fear.
‘Cos through the darkness and storms, I’ll always be here.
(Bridge)
Is this the final price I’ll pay?
I swore I’d settle in to gold one day.
I fear it will be to early when it’s time to go.
I’m finally proud we’ll have a place we call home.
(Chorus)

(Verse)
I’m lying in my bed,
“Do Not Disturb” sign on the door
This hotel in this city
Has a room on the fifth floor
I’m trying to write to mother
Who wants me back home again
I hear her voice
As she asks me where the hell I’ve been.
(Chorus)
I’ve never left
That’s all I will say to her
I can’t forget
Because that’s just plain absurd
And all the lessons you have taught me
Since the day that I was born
I’ve put them in my pocket
So they’ll never be ignored
(Verse)
There’s a party two floors upstairs
Where the drinks are served in style
My friends tell tales of yesteryear
And everyone goes wild.
I’ve downed as much as I can take
Before I go to sleep
Mother, I am in great company.
You can count on me.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
No matter how far I have gone
You’ll know I’m always having fun.
It’s in my nature, I have to roam around.
But don’t think my lack of presence makes an empty house.
(Verse)
So as I write this letter,
Don’t think anything’s gone wrong.
I hope this letter gets to you
Before the crack of dawn
The moon is somewhere in the clouds
As rain keeps falling fast
But this weekend’s just starting
And I know I’ll have a blast
(Chorus)
I’ve never left.
It’s a chapter yet to be closed.
I can’t forget.
I wish I sent along a rose.
It may be further than the house of many rising suns.
But there will always be a notice from your loving son.
