making train tracks, i the sand
don't be daft and hold my hand
Say you'll never leave again
Cause I don't wanna loose my friend
But dawns up, with open eyes
It hard to think the dreams as lies
Cause the coals are old
but brighter than they were
A better time, a different place
Gets washed away
Like train tracks in the sand
Coming coming going gone
Can we go it won't take long
I'll take some wheels
and you can tag along
Young heart, selfish child
Just a little less than wild
Racing now
Just like you trained me for
CHORUS
All aboard for lost and gone
Doesn't seem like its been long
I'll see you soon
in the nights tales you spun
Click clack, I'm coming back
Got my ticket, laid my track
I should have done this
years ago
CHORUS
coming back around again
the only wondering is when
tiny feet and Little hands
scratching rails in different sands
a better time and a different place,
is made again
like train tracks in the sand

Brother

Chasing you on down the hill
Doesn't take any effort, doesn't take any skill
Can you teach a bird to fly
Or does it know to touch the sky
Got bruises from this bumpy ride
But I know my place is by your side
Machines are made to work
And pigs to love the mud
And I was made to be your brother
Bound by blood, can be no other
And it does not matter if I'm here by choice or not
Cause in the end what you get is what you've got
I know you want to fight it don't you
But you can't be rid of me if you want to
So kick and scream if you like
Machines are made to work
And pigs to love the mud
And I was made to be your brother
Bound by blood, can be no other
Machines are made to work
And pigs to love the mud
And I was made to be your brother
Bound by blood, can be no other
I will be no other

Theres a reason that this bottles tinted green
probably the reason I'm so full of s*** and lies
and maybe your princess is your beauty queen
But right here right now can seem the greater prize
If were all the same then why do you keep trying
Why did you think that staying was implied
you said your werent trying to break me, and your lying
see your a subbtorn mare but I love to ride
Why does the heat of the moment never burn til the morning
And being sick to the stomach always warn you way too late
Candlelight riding
Sunset hide my
Shameful pleasure
that i love it this way
Maybe its not in me to roam free
But ill charge the fence so you can see me try
and maybe your princess is your beauty queen
But right here right now can seem the greater prize
Why does the heat of the moment never burn til the morning
And being sick to the stomach always warn you way too late
Candlelight riding
Sunset hide my
Shameful pleasure
that i love it this way

Roamin' Around

Going back, to the dirt track that meets my feet
It can be slick and tired, it can seem so bleak
Better here, in the mountains than the city
The hollow meek always full of pity
Places to go that don't feel like home
but id hate to settle for
less than
roaming around
Rolling dales, biting gales, rainy days
A quiet wood, winding trails, a green maze
Better here in the trees than the town
Fighting the haze trying to bring you down
A heavy thud, down in the mud, goes my trail
Drag those boots on through wind and hail
Better here in the hills all alone
Stride from strife that your kin has sown
