Tonight I’m on a mission, no time for indecision There’s a party waiting somewhere for me Been waiting on the weekend and feeling kinda freaky And now it’s time to get out and release my inner creep Could’ve spent a lifetime trying to be a nice guy Hoping everybody makes amends Instead I learned the tough way, you gotta be a roughneck Cuz when everybody’s stealing, everybody wins I was thinkin bout drinking, and then I got to thinking That there’s got to be a better way To keep my mind off working, I’m feeling kinda worthless It’s time to blow the doors off and ditch this fuckin place I left work early but I didn’t go home I’m fixin to booze and there’s a watering hole Over the bridge and past the old farm road I left work early but I didn’t go home Make no bones about it, I was feeling pretty rowdy And my irresponsibility Left me in a pickle, I was only gettin sicker Drinking everything but the kitchen sink I left work early but I didn’t go home I’m fixin to booze and there’s a watering hole Over the bridge and past the old farm road I left work early but I didn’t go home

Hey Jane 03:34
Hey Jane, What’d you say the other day to me? “Be Free” With all your life to see, what does it say? Hey Jane, Don’t you know the way it’s supposed to be? “I’m Free, I’m Free” Stay … Don’t let me sleep tonight Ride … the backyard rail car delight Cold wind blows over the mountain Never let ‘em see you’re down and out, and Big wheel turn to tell you that you’re through Sometimes all that you can say, is “Hey Jane” Hey Jane, I can’t help the way you feel the light “So Right” But could I help to light your only way? Hey Jane, Lose the mask and lost your will to fight. “Take flight, take flight.” How … does empty bottled mashup feel, with All … your secret little turpentile Cold wind blows over the mountain Never let ‘em see you’re down and out, and Big wheel turn to tell you that you’re through Sometimes all that you can say, is “Hey Jane”

The Valley 04:26
Down into the valley, away I take my head, Sinking ever deeper, not remembering’ what’s been said. All the things I used to know, are rising up away; The mountain’s grasp is slipping now, just like the fading day. Waiting for the rising road, which never seems to come. See the light shine on and on, and on and on we run. The longer road, the more I know, just how far I’ve come. Darkness comes without a word, and as I sing my song… Down into the valley Runnin’ from the light of day Melt away the sunshine What else do I have to say? Get the colored wax burning Bring out the glass and green Say a prayer for tomorrow It’s something that we’ve never seen. Getting late and burning low, light fading into black That time of night has come, when there’s no turning back Come so far, far from home, reaching for the stars Though I sink, the world turns on, as we sing this song… Down into the valley Runnin’ from the light of day Melt away the sunshine What else do I have to say? Get the colored wax burning Bring out the glass and green Say a prayer for tomorrow It’s something that we’ve never seen. [Outro] Rise above, all the things we should have known. Rise above, all the things we should have done. Rise above, all the ones we could not hold. Rise above, all the things we can’t let go.

September 05:32
C'mon baby, take a ride in my car Put the top down, we don't have to go far Weather's changing and the summer's almost gone That's it darlin', feel the wind in your hair Close your eyes, we can go anywhere Weather's changing and the summer's almost gone September's gonna be a surprise When I look into my baby's eyes C'mon baby, let's take a walk on the shore Wind is blowing, but we don't care anymore Weather's changing and the summer's almost gone Come with me, we'll go outside in rain One more time, 'cause we can't go back again Weather's changing and the summer's almost gone September's gonna be a surprise When I look into my baby's eyes Come September, oh I ain't afraid to change with you Come September, let me be the one you hold onto I'll take a chance on you Can't wait to see what we will do Come September, oh I ain't afraid to change with you Come September, let me be the one you hold onto Come September, oh I ain't afraid to change with you Come September, let me be the one you hold onto All she wants to do is run away, fly away All she wants to do is run away, fly away

Out beyond the weathervane, and twice a shout from home I’m on my own Whiskey, wind and wheat have been all I’ve ever known And I have grown This night is calling This night is calling I can’t find a tree to climb that doesn’t face the wind And I won’t take that fall again My only claim to legacy has blown beyond my fence And now it’s dead This night is calling This night is calling This night is calling This night is calling Stop wasting love on others lips Quit stealing from my fingertips You're drying streams with crying eyes And burning these dreams alive Bring them back to life And the wheat's gone today And faces give meaning to space left for dead We're all moved by the day A new way to see and a new way to give Don't uproot the proof of past generations You're raping my mind and the memories in it And your pretty eyes, they can't replace The warm scent of a life that laid here before you And all is silent now, and all is silent now New way to see and a new way to give New way to see and a new way to give Out beyond the weathervane, and twice a shout from home I’m on my own Whiskey, wind and wheat have been all I’ve ever known And I have grown

Awakening 05:05
Hiding in the shadows of the city light She’s lost within the rhythm of a Friday night She doesn’t understand the way the morning light brings awakening In the darkness of the hour ‘neath a scattered moon Moving pictures in the hall outside the hotel room He sees a ray of light and knows it’s coming soon - the awakening Now you have gone too far It was yours, not ours Falling forever toward the light Giving you the sense of being home Lying on the rooftop where she made her bed Try to reconcile the dissonance inside her head It’s the road of indecision that she walks instead of awakening Now maybe he was wrong to be the only one But there’s got to be a reason that he’s on the run And he’s knows, one thing is bound to come – his awakening Now you have gone too far It was yours, not ours Falling forever toward the light Giving you the sense of being home Lying on the rooftop where she made her bed Try to reconcile the dissonance inside her head It’s the road of indecision that she walks instead of awakening Oh, awakening
