I wanna go somewhere This can't be the end of the road If I move my feet in some direction will the rest of me follow? Everything changed after everyone died and loved refused to meet me She wasn't there for me She wasn't kind and I felt defeated I wanna go somewhere This can't be the end of the road If I move my feet in some direction will the rest of me follow? Blind-sided kick, weakness exposed Hole in the heart blown open Suddenly I was mortal and small and my life, it was frozen Everything changed and I was alone And I did not know How to start again, how to move ahead But the journey was in each step I've got to go somewhere This won't be the end of the road I'll move my feet in one direction and I will follow, yes I will follow

Nothing Left to Try 03:16

Sometimes when I'm near you I wish I felt closer and sure that I wanted to be in this place with you But these days when I'm with you I feel my heart splitting in two one part over there, not knowing what to do But there's nothing left to try You can't change this for me If I walk away or I decide to stay does it matter either way? These times when I see you I know my doubt falls onto you I wish I could see this through But there's nothing left to try You can't change this for me If I walk away or I decide to stay doesn't matter either way Today when I see you I know I won't say anything that makes it right or good It can't be understood But there is nothing left to try Nothing has changed this for me Everything's been hard I have to walk away Or do I want to stay with you?

I am not lost but I am not quite found I keep waiting for you to come around I keep waiting to find what I'm looking for I'm starting to realize I don't know what that is anymore I have tried so hard to move ahead But I keep clinging to the dead There's no way to let go when I'm still holding on To the ghost of the past to something so long gone To a ghost from the past to someone so long gone I said Help me unburden this load from my heavy heart Help me start over Help me know how to start I am not lost but I am not quite found I keep waiting for you to come around I keep waiting to find what I'm looking for I've finally realized I can't wait around anymore Yes, I've finally realized I can't wait around anymore And I said Help me unburden this load from my heavy heart Help me start over Help me know how to start Help me know how to start 'Cause I don't know I don't know I don't know

The Last Time 04:47
lyrics

I turn the light on Set my phone down Look around the room The T.V. chair where she sat and watched while she brushed her hair The last time I saw her The last time she knew Who I was I let my thoughts drift I let the time shift to the way she used to be When she could greet me Say my name and take me by the hand And lead me through the kitchen Tell me it was good to see me again Oh, mother I miss you where have you gone? Mother, you've left me here all alone I turn to go Pick up my phone and turn out the light Pulled the door closed Take out the key and look at it in my hand Wishing it were magic That it could unlock her mind and set her free Oh, mother I miss you where have you gone? Mother, you've left me here all alone Mother, I miss you where did you go? Mother, I miss you and you'll never know

We Were Free 03:21
lyrics

Climbing a tree, wading a creek we could be whatever we wanted We were undaunted We were free Sun on our skin Dirt on our feet Jeans with embroidery Love beads and leather bracelets Hippie wannabes Biking around all over town You and me Meet at the park Hang until dark We were free Sun on our skin Dirt on our feet Jeans cut off at the knees We hadn't learned No rules to bind us We hadn't turned 13 Driving a car, playing guitars Waiting to leave Hoping for someone to take us away to what we believed Sun on our skin Sand on our feet Jeans with holes in the knees 45 records We were wild, we were reckless We were singing to be free We were young and boundless Excited and groundless And full of energy The sky was the limit We wouldn't be timid We were free

about

MTV Unplugged versions of a few songs. True, they've all been recorded before in some form or fashion, but I wanted good, clean studio versions of just me and "my" guitar (in reality, BZ's sweet Gibson Gospel) with a Master of His Craft at the helm.

If you purchase the album, you will get a bonus track.

I started playing the guitar and writing songs at 15 and have been at it ever since, even though I've "traveled the breadth of extremities" (Joni Mitchell, Hejira) between then and now. Here I am, again.
