Halfway to Heaven

Will I lose my mind
will I ever go straight
rock & rollin’ in between the lines
we’re only tempting fate
May be halfway to heaven
going at this rate
not much to show even though
we took the tackle and the bait
*Oh the lights are shining all around you
god knows nothing’s overdue
but you are my baby
and our love will see us through
yes you are my baby
and I’m making my way back to you
When I call upon the elders
they say have a little faith
maybe we’ll be a little better off
sometime in a future age
So I’ll strum a little guitar
in the quiet of the night
what’s wrong what’s right it’s fall or flight
baby I just wanna treat you right
*Oh the lights are shining all around you
god knows nothing’s overdue
but you are my baby
and our love will see us through
yes you are my baby
and I’m making my way back to you
Goin’ back home
I walk alone
through these lazy days of life
Lookin’ back on the times we had
we drew circles around the world
like migration birds

Little Tiger

Saw you standing on the stairway/ lookin back at me
little lion little tiger/ pretty little thing
just a creature of the kudzu/ innocent and clean
little lion little tiger/ pretty little thing
*And there’s never ever any time/ runnin’ from place to place
and I wonder if ya understand/ there’s one thing I’d like to say
didn’t mean to take your life away
So we’re rulers of a kingdom we never devised
holding fast to a mystery we’ll never conquer or divide
on a whim on a whimsey you can hardly believe
but our touch and our instinct it could kill anything
*And there’s never ever any time/ runnin’ from place to place
and I wonder if ya understand/ there’s one thing I’d like to say
didn’t mean to take your life away
Wish I could see you next year/ pick yourself up off the ground
but all things disappear
one bad move and it’s nearly over/ all those things I could have showed ya
walks in the park/ I would’ve warmed up to you
and afternoons in the backyard/ yeah I woulda warmed up to you
coulda been a pair a style an item / coulda been a pair a style an item
Saw you standing on the stairway/ lookin back at me
little lion little tiger/ pretty little thing
just a creature of the kudzu/ innocent and clean
little lion little tiger/ pretty little thing

Take It (On Faith)

I take it I won’t get run-over
I take it I can find some clothes
I take it I won’t be forgotten / every once in a while ya get a bloody nose
I take it / I take it on faith
I take it I can keep it simple
it’s the only way I know
I take it if I don’t get better then baby I’ll never grow
I take it / I take it on faith
I take it we’ll stay together
I take it I will not stray
I take it we’ll have some children and somehow make it through the fray
I take it / I take it on faith
i take it I can live much better
I take it I can do more good
I take it I can make a friend and lend a hand in the neighborhood
I take it on a little hard work & faith
I take it I’m gonna weather
any storm that comes my way
I take it the love we make is gonna come back to us one of these days
I take it i take it on faith
I take it i can find my people
there’s a home for me I’m sure
through the noise and the clouds and the din yes I probably been there before
I take it / I take it on faith
I take it there’s a higher power
set the world upon a course
I take it that the smallest flower holds a key to the universe
I take it on faith
I take it that all this hatred
I take it that all this strife
is gonna be worked out one day on a field with guns and knives
I take it / I take it on faith
I take it there’s always tomorrow
and tomorrow’s gonna be today
I take it that goodness and graciousness are gonna have the final say
I take it / I take it on faith
I take it that it’s all been said and
done and done and said before
writ upon the rocks and sand and the ice and dirt and ocean floor
I take it / I take it on faith
