Bonnie and Clyde 03:49
lyrics
I’ve never lived under a wagon or spent time or jail Can’t say I’ve pulled a trigger that left a law man dead But I once met a girl, fell for her on the spot And I learned a lot about love from hard time spent a part I don’t live by the gun I’ve never been on the run I won’t steal or lie Wouldn’t rob a man blind but I’ve got one thing in common with Bonnie and Clyde Well I ain’t an outlaw or some two-timing crook But I’ve chased ‘round some demons and cursed what they took I have known loneliness and sought some revenge And girl since I’ve found ya, I’ve felt like I could cheat death I don’t live by the gun I’ve never been on the run I won’t steal or lie Wouldn’t rob a man blind but I’ve got one thing in common with Bonnie and Clyde Love Love Love that’ll last past the grave Love without condition Love on a mission Love that I don’t want to tame If your legs ever fail ya, you know that i’ll carry you where you need to go And when the angels come calling at the old trails end We’ll go down guns blazing, our love all hell bent We’ll know it was heaven sent I don’t live by the gun I’ve never been on the run I won’t steal or lie Wouldn’t rob a man blind but I’ve got one thing in common with Bonnie and Clyde Love Love Love that’ll last past the grave Love without condition Love on a mission Love that I don’t want to tame Love without condition Love on a mission Love that I don’t want to tame

Thick and Thin 04:02
lyrics
I always said that I wouldn’t meet my wife in Some smokey old bar room Little did I know You’d be the lady Who would come in and save me Drive me crazy, then you’d drive me home You and me we will be friends Honey you can count on it We’ll be right there holding hands When it all comes to an end Bring it rain or bring it sunshine Through the bad and the good times We’ll be friends Through thick and through thin Our first mansion Was a two bedroom We gave it a fresh coat of paint Made it feel just like brand new But a couple hundred dollars later And a new refrigerator We were broke as hell and didn’t have a clue You and me we will be friends Honey you can count on it We’ll be right there holding hands When it all comes to an end Bring it rain or bring it sunshine Through the bad and the good times We’ll be friends Through thick and through thin I came home to the news Changed the walls from white to blue And I fell in love all over again You and me we will be friends Honey you can count on it We’ll be right there holding hands When it all comes to an end Bring it rain or bring it sunshine Through the bad and the good times We’ll be friends Through thick and through thin I always said that I wouldn’t meet my wife in Some smokey bar room Little did I know

Love and Leave 03:48
lyrics
One drink at the bar turns in to two I went in alone, stumbled out the door with you Slid on in to the backseat of that taxi Couldn’t stop thinking ‘bout the love that we hadn’t found yet We looked into each other’s eyes Couldn’t say no even though we knew it wasn’t right I know this road I’m going down won’t get me where I want to get I’ve grown too use to livin’ minute by minute with yesterday’s regret I keep wakin’ up on the wrong side of a bed that isn’t mine I want to learn to love and leave all this behind There was a time before all the one night stands When a young man learned what heartache was because he didn’t understand That she had fallen hard for him Maybe he was just naive but he didn’t get what that meant So he learned the consequences He broke her heart and that broke histhat broke his I know this road I’m going down won’t get me where I want to get I’ve grown too use to livin’ minute by minute with yesterday’s regret I keep wakin’ up on the wrong side of a bed that isn’t mine I want to learn to love and leave all this behind I’m not hopeless, I know you’re out there Won’t you show me what forever really means I ain’t done tryin’ and girl I’m buyin’ So won’t you sit down here and have a drink with me You can tell me what you think I know this road I’m going down won’t get me where I want to get I’ve grown too use to livin’ minute by minute with yesterday’s regret I keep wakin’ up on the wrong side of a bed that isn’t mine I want to learn to love and leave all this behind I want to learn to love and leave all this behind

Strangers 04:13
lyrics
A cheap bottle of wine use to keep us up all night We’d reach for the stars together, we wrote our story right there by the moonlight But —seems time has taken that look from your eyes Don’t think I’m going down without a fight I’m holding on to the girl I used to know The one who gave me her heart, vowed never to let go If I ain’t living up to the man you loved back then Then I wish we could be strangers again I came across a card that I had hidden in a drawer You wrote down that you loved me, but I don’t feel it anymore People say that we should see the writing on the wall But I won’t be the one to make that call I’m holding on to the girl I used to know The one who gave me her heart, vowed never to let go If I ain’t living up to the man you loved back then Then I wish we could be strangers again If I pull you close, will you push me away Or can I open another bottle and convince you to stay… We can pretend that its the first time but re-write this ending I’m holding on to the girl I used to know The one who gave me her heart, vowed never to let it go If I ain’t living up to the man you loved back then Then I wish we could be strangers I’m holding on to the girl I used to know The one who gave me her heart, vowed never to let it go If I ain’t living up to the man you loved back then Then I wish we could be strangers again Then I wish we could be strangers again

Where We Are 05:47
lyrics
Sometimes I can’t tell when you aren't happy And that eats me up ‘cause by now I should know All the little signs you use to show me When something is rattling your bones Lately it just seems that i'm always on your nerves But I promise you that'll do all I can to make this work Honey I know where we are heading And it might get worse before it gets any better I know there ain't a hole too big that I can't dig us out of So tell me please what this all about ‘Cause I can't quite tell where we are right now Sometimes I'm afraid my love gets lazy But that don't mean I don't need you around I'm sorry about the flowers on your birthday Ten years in, haven't figured that part out You deserve the world that you have given me I promise that I'll pay ya back in due time girl I know you'll see that Honey I know where we are heading And it might get worse before it gets any better I know there ain't a hole too big that I can't dig us out of So tell me please what this all about Because I can't quite tell where we are right now I know there might not be a pot of gold Waiting for us at the end of this rose colored rainbow But no that’s not gonna stop me from believing You are the air that fills my lungs and keeps my heart alive and beating Honey I know where we are heading And it might get worse before it gets any better I know there ain't a hole too big that I can't dig us out of So tell me please what this all about ‘Cause I can't quite tell where we are right now where we are
