The Drive

I would drive all over the world Lookin' for something that's only in my mind
I could drive all over the earth Searchin' for that something I just won't find

Can't look behind

I have no direction only where the road takes me
Seeking protection from the thoughts that plague me

I'll drive, drive
To where the sky meets the road I know it's out there or so I'm told
It's there in the distance Beyond all the resistance

I would drive all over the world Lookin' for my dream the one that I hold dear
I could drive all over the earth Waiting for that reality to appear

I have no fear

There's no direction Signs along the way provide no lead
Where's the perfection To save my soul from that which I seek

I'll drive, drive

To where sky meets the road
I know it's out there or so I'm told
It's off in the distance
A peaceful existence

Drive, Oh Drive, Drive, Oh Drive, Drive, Oh Drive

Thinkers & Dreamers

I've got a few good friends and they believe in me
Come hell or high water I'll keep them by my side
I'll keep them by my side

I've got this girl she means the world to me
Not sure if I deserve all the love she gives to me
C'mon and give it to me

'Cause in this world there are thinkers & dreamers
People like me who find a way to keep it true and do what they believe
'Til finally one day They're livin' their dreams

Brother says to me, "You can't live your life this way"
That's fine by me I turn, laugh and smile
I just laugh and smile

Another golden Saturday watch the clouds roll by
With you here by my side keep my dreams alive
I keep my dreams alive

'Cause in this world there are thinkers & dreamers
People like me who find a way to keep it true and do what they believe
'Til finally one day They're livin' their dreams

Livin' their dreams, livin' their dreams, livin' their dreams

Closer

Even though I haven't met you yet
You are the mirror of my soul
You are my perfect match
The one I long for

And the way I see it
The faster I go
The further I travel
The closer I am to you

You are the end of my loneliness
The home of my heart
More kindred than a million lives
If only we could start

And the way I see it
The faster I go
The further I travel
The closer I am to you

Hey You

Go down to the ocean catch a wave or two
All I really want is a piece of you
Salvation's comin' God will take me away
In the meantime, I might as well play

Hey you, Hey you Hey, hey you

C'mon I promise to make it worth your while
Strip down and let me come inside
No need to worry or have no fear
Come a little closer whisper in my ear

Hey you, Hey you, Hey, hey you want a part of me too

Hold me close and call out my name
I learned a long time ago it doesn't pay to be ashamed
Nights of passion, I promise you this
Temptations callin' I can no longer resist

You, Hey you, Hey, hey you I think you'll do
Hey, hey you I think you'll do
Hey, hey you I think you'll do

Welcome Home

High above circling down
It's been a long time since I've seen this town
All these faces questioning me saying
where have you been what have you done
What have you done Welcome Home

Table set I did my job
I laugh and smile for the ones I love
Ain't no way to change the routine
I say hello to my brother and his wife
What have you done Welcome Home

Things don't change too much here
Finding comfort in the year after year
Good or bad right or wrong
It's still home

We join hands and give our thanks
We pass the plates to the left, no the right
Questions asked and then vacant stares
Familiarness within the empty air
What have you done Welcome Home

Welcome Home

Things don't change too much here
Finding comfort in the year after year
Good or bad right or wrong
It's still home

Wheels lift off I'm on my way
I made it through another family holiday
No more faces questioning me
Saying where have you been
What have you done

What have you done Welcome Home
What have you done Welcome Home

Blistered hands
Woodsmoke on the air
Children by my side
Working in the fields

I am not ashamed to be a woman
Black my skin
It is my strength
I will not fail

Headed South to save my soul
Find my children lost in a war
To gain acceptance for my gifts
I can preach a fine sermon

My name is Sojourner, My name is Sojourner
My name is Sojourner, My name is Sojourner

Bouncing through different beliefs
Searching for truth and peace
To grow and show my strength
God's grace will find a way

My name is Sojourner, My name is Sojourner
My name is Sojourner, My name is Sojourner

Early To Bed

Early to bed now early to rise
I stretch my legs and I cover my eyes
How did end up in this place?
Why did I ever join this race?

Everyday they take some more of me
I am a puppet. They control me
How did I end up in this place?
Just another nameless face

Oh, I'm so tired of these bureaucratic games
I know it's all about net gain
I fret and toil while they line their pockets everyday

Early to bed no more lies
Wrap your arms around me as I rub my eyes
How do I get out of this place?
How do I fill the empty space?

Oh, I'm so tired of these bureaucratic games
I know it's all about net gain
I fret and toil while they line their pockets everyday
Everyday

I saw you One glance I knew it would be you and me in this world made for two
Where will you be in 10 years?
Can't you see I want to hold you squeeze you in my Happy Ever After
I say la, la, la. Ooo, ooo with you.

This is my world This is my dream, this is my happy ever after
In a world with you.
I say la, la, la. Ooo, ooo with you.

Where will you be in 10 years?
Where will you be in 20?
Ok then, 30? Don't push your luck honey.

Can't you see I love you?
Can't you see I wanna hold you squeeze you in my Happy Ever After?
I say la, la, la. Ooo, ooo with you.

I said Happy You and me oh we will be

Happy Ever After in a world with you.

Living In The City

Livin' in the city and I'm feelin' no pain
Big buildings and big drains
Just the place for all my worries to fall
Slidin' on down with the alcohol
Satisfaction is a must
Gotta know who to trust

Livin' in the big city, livin' in the big city

When I look back on my life and I think what might have been
There's a sunset miles wide
I can see it when I close my eyes
And I look up into the clear blue
I miss my family and I miss you
But there's no hope for me my soul belongs to the city

Livin' in the big city, livin' in the big city

Big buildings and big drains tunneling away what part of me remains

Oh, city Oh, city Oh, city

Way up in the hills in a dirt floor shack
Mother and a daughter and they were one with the land
And they lived Oh they lived
It was true, true, true and they knew, knew, knew life was good

Each day was filled with chores Cleaning clothes on the washboard
Giving thanks for what was takin' Realizing that life was in the makin'
They lived Oh they lived
It was true, true, true and they knew, knew, knew life was good

And then the railroad came
Took all the trees away and propped up a big billboard to say
Progress won't be denied
No matter the cost to life and that was the day their innocence died

With fire in their hearts and struggle on their minds
Igniting the hope within to keep their simple life
And they fought, oh they fought
It was true, true, true and they knew, knew, knew life was good

Once again they did their chores but life was so much more
Keepin' it simple everyday and striving to keep it that way
They lived, oh they lived
It was true, true, true and they knew, knew, knew life was good

Life was good, good, good
Life was good, good, good

The Long Haul

They told me I should write a love song
But the words just don't come easy to me
To describe what feel when I look at you
Well, yeah that's hard to do

Into my life you came
Like water slowly rising
You filled me up and brought my soul to life
Your creativity and fire
Helped me see a hidden part of me
My intensity well, you found it and you set it free

If this is what love is
I must be in it
If this is what love is
I'm in it for the long haul

There you stand your heart smiling
You take my hand I surrender without trying
This love so simple yet deeper than all the oceans
I never thought I would feel these intense emotions

If this is what love is
I know I'm in it
If this is what love is
I'm in it for the long haul

I want to make this right Don't want no fuss no fight
I just wanna take all this confusion and pack it away now, baby

Give me one small sign Give me the green light
Give me one itty-bitty reason to stick around now, baby

All I want is for you to let me in
C'mon baby it ain't no sin

You don't even have to think twice You know just how to entice
Oh, and how you entice me now, baby

Grab on to this cape of mine Hold on with all your might
'Cause I am the ride you wanna take now, baby

All I want is for you to let me in
C'mon baby it ain't no sin

I said…All I want is for you to let me in
C'mon baby it ain't no sin
