Started out a lonely day. In a park miles away. Heading home from 10,000 lakes, remembering all of my mistakes. Sunday morning in the sun. Life feels like it just began.
Pocket full of cash, for playing for the bash. A big party in a hotel. Wine and dine with cocktails, tips in $20's not in ones.
Now I'm on my way back home. My ears feel like a thunder-dome. Music still playing in my mind, and now I must start to unwind.
Welcome to Missouri, I just passed the sign, about a million times, but this time I'm really awake.
Welcome to Missouri, I just passed the sign, about a million times, now the future I must make.

I bought a condo up in Como. That's where I am at. I love my condo in Como, and that's where I hang my hat.
Well I went up there to get away from here and I found what I was looking for. Well my dog was gone but now he is back and that's a fact and I've signed those papers for sure. Now nothing lacks and that's a fact and I'll be right here. Cause it's a big condo it's up in Como and I don't care what you think about that. It's where I go, and it's just so it's where I hang my hat.

Show me the sign of the Greene County line, now I'm only 35 miles from paradise. Grow up just a bit is what they all said to me. Now I'm growing up a bit yeah so steadily.
One minute I am dreaming, so the next five are reality. Why can not things just be like you want em to be. Well I guess then Life just wouldn't be fun.
Show me the sign of the Vernon County line, now I'm only 15 miles from home. Went away on a trip yeah I'm on my way back there and I feel a little better that I've been here before.
One minute I am dreaming, so the next five are reality. Why can not things just be like you want em to be. Well I guess then Life just wouldn't be fun.

City of Smiles

The city of Smiles, is a small town. A few thousand people here, world can't get 'em down. But a look to the distance I see something blind. Never resistance just a rare kind. Hopeless devotion to a town that wont pay. You'll smile for now until it's the ending day. Cause we can pick up the messy streets, but we can't change the motivation oh how we wonder how it ever began.

Go take a ride right by my side, riding along in Fergie's Car. Well it's late at night we cruise around under the Texas moonlight. In a Volkswagen, we're so young we're not afraid. What a perfect night all went well and ends well.
Riding along in Fergie's Car. Riding along in Fergie's Car.
Go take a ride right by my side, riding along in Fergie's Car. Riding along in Fergie's Car.

Take it or leave it, it's where I want to be. In that magic city not under the sea. If you go there you'll want to stay forever and ever you'll never go away.
It ends in Jackson, Yeah Yeah. It ends in Jackson, where we all want to go.

Which one will make you stay?
Which one will you play?
A new guitar in your hand, pay for it on your credit card.
Now my life has many stories, many pictures on the wall. Just another big fish story. Told too many times to you all.
Living in a music store, where you never know who may come through the door. Living in a music store it's like a fantasy.

Pyramid of silver cans. No reason to withstand. A new guitar in your hand. Pay for it on your credit card.

When Tomorrow Is Gone
05:03

I'm packing up, all my soiled clothes. I'm picking' up all the things thrown. I'm leaving all the friends that I have found. Because were through playing in this town
so tomorrow I'll be gone, before the daylight turns on. And still I do not say goodbye. Still I do not say goodbye.
I watched that town slowly fade away. In the mirror it doesnt look the same. I have been on the road so long, that to stay would only be a shame.
So tomorrow I'll be gone, before the daylight turns on. And still I do not say goodbye. Still I do not say goodbye.
There are so many people, and so many towns. One-night friends, without any bounds. Forget tomorrow, who you met today, and theres only one thing that I cannot say.
So tomorrow I'll be gone, before the daylight turns on. And still I do not say goodbye. Still I do not say goodbye.
Will you tell tomorrow, I don't want to go...
Will you tell tomorrow, that I don't want to go....
(I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
Will you tell tomorrow that I don't wanna go.

Summer Trains
04:27

You may not remember, but I will not forget. That summer we spent together was better than any summer yet. I found a friend in Jesus, and i found a friend in you. Each day the summer got shorter, and each night the night went long.
It just gets harder and harder. To let go of what you got. I know the summers is going to end, but I'd rather it stay.
It's midnight and I'm walking down the train tracks. I hear the whistle shouting loud, I see those headlights coming round the bend, it's just so hard to see it end. I loved those talks on the train tracks, I loved climbing up on those trains. I loved those walks on the train tracks, I just wish that is would not end.
It just gets harder and harder. To let go of what you got. I know the summers is going to end, but I'd rather it stay.
Yesterday seems so long ago, and tomorrow is only a wish, but in my heart friendships will not end circumstance is only a switch. You may not remember, but I will not forget, the times we spend together you know those memories will not fade.
It just gets harder and harder. To let go of what you got. I know the summers is going to end, but circumstance is only a switch.

Could of been number eleven on a list of names I dare not speak. But now I'm glad I'm not number eleven, because I'd of killed you by the end of the week. She may not be crazy, but craziness is all i see. It may not be a disorder but still i decided to flee.
Just run away from it all. That's OK by me...
Cause sooner or later this list of names will come back to haunt you and I don't want to be around for that at all. Sooner or later this list of names will come back to haunt you and I don't want to be around for that at all.
Could of been number eleven on a list of names I dare not speak. But now I'm glad I'm not number eleven, because I'd of killed you by the end of the week. I live so happy and marry, now sunshine is all i see. I live so happy and marry now happiness is all i need.
Cause sooner or later this list of names will come back to haunt you and I don't want to be around for that at all. Sooner or later this list of names will come back to haunt you and I don't want to be around for that at all.
