Karma
Written by Kevin Wilson
Karma said “Boy whatcha gonna do?
You can’t walk around in someone else’s shoes.”
Justice says “You can’t be a loaded gun,
Screaming in the air and watching everybody run.”
World spinning ‘round sometimes way too fast
The only thing catching up is the past
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down on you
Whatcha gonna do when there’s nothing to say
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down on you
You’re gonna have to live for another day
Karma said “You can’t just close your eyes
And see everything in your own way.”
Justice says “You better bite your lip.
You’re gonna have to pay for the things you say.”
World spinning ‘round sometimes way too fast
The only thing catching up is the past
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down on you
Whatcha gonna do when there’s nothing to say
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down on you
You’re gonna have to live for another day
Karma said “Whatcha gonna do?
Don’t want to find yourself in someone else’s shoes.”
You’re walkin’ ‘round like a loaded gun,
Screaming in the air, watching everybody run.
World spinning ‘round sometimes way too fast
The only thing catching up is the past
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down on you
Whatcha gonna do when there’s nothing to say
Whatcha gonna do when it all comes down on you
You’re gonna have to live for another day
(I Want To) Run Away
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierSo tired that I can’t feel
The space from wrong to real
Hope is a four letter word
Fear’s become a trap
From all the looking back
Tell me just what have I learned
A folded photograph
Is all that I have left
Of the way life used to be
I’ll keep it with me now
And turn this thing around
Find a new reason to believe
I’m tired of just getting by
Like a wheel on fire
I want to run away, run away
I don’t care if my legs are tired
Cause I’ve walked the wire
I want to run away, run away
This situation, this complication
Gonna put it all behind me now
It’s temporary, this weight I carry
But when it’s gone I’m gonna run away, run away
That photo’s still the same
But now in a new frame
It’s become brand new again
Gonna take a long look back
I’m finally strong at last
Used to break but I learned to mend
Those four walls became a cage
It was time to grow, it was time to change
I’m tired of just getting by
Like a wheel on fire
I want to run away, run away
I don’t care if my legs are tired
Cause I’ve walked the wire
I want to run away, run away
This situation, this complication
Gonna put it all behind me now
It’s temporary, this weight I carry
But when it’s gone I’m gonna run away, run away
Don’t Believe A Word
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierRumors going down
Lies are getting deeper
You can swing your sticks around
Hurl stones at me
Don’t believe a word
The story starts with me
Breaks down as it goes along
When it gets to you
You won’t know right from wrong
So don’t believe a word
When the accusations fly
Whispers turn to truth
It makes it hard to even try
To know what to do
In the blink of an eye
Can you forget what you’ve heard?
Don’t believe a word
I’m A River
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierTime never catches me
It’s gone and left me all alone
The sky holds the sun and moon
They cross above and then they’re gone
Life seems to just stand still
As I make my way back home
The wind now becomes my friend
As he sings his simple song
I’m a river
Gonna make my way
No matter what you say or do
I’m a river
Flowing to the sea
Won’t you join me become new?
Years, no they don’t define
They’re just a measure of your time
Fear of the undertow
Will pull you down below the tide
I’m a river
Gonna make my way
No matter what you say or do
I’m a river
Flowing to the sea
Won’t you join me become new?
The stars will lay out a course
And guide you on your way
You’ll land on a distant shore
But you don’t have to stay
Time never loses me
Because I’ve been here all along
Now you’ve got to build a bridge
Because I’m right where I belong
I’m a river
Gonna make my way
No matter what you say or do
I’m a river
Flowing to the sea
Won’t you join me become new?
The Burden
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierI sit and watch the candle burn
The match is still in my hand
The flame is getting closer
How much more can I stand
The pain hits my fingers
The fire hits the ground
The blaze quickly dances
There’s no turning back now
The burden that seems to fall on me
It’s a heavy, heavy load
The weight upon my shoulders
I’m reaping what I sowed
My head is full of regret
My belly’s full of sin
My veins are pumping hatred
By losing I will win
I sit and let it take me
While I speak to the unknown
All I get in return
Are screams that aren’t my own
The sins of you, The sins of me, Something evil, Let it be
The sins of you, The sins of me, Something evil, Let it be
The burden that seems to fall on me
It’s a heavy, heavy load
The weight upon my shoulders
I’m reaping what I sowed
The sins of you, The sins of me, Something evil, Let it be
The sins of you, The sins of me, Something evil, Let it be
The burden that seems to fall on me
It’s a heavy, heavy load
The weight upon my shoulders
I’m reaping what I sowed
Get Over It
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierI dreamt I saw the future again
Woke to the sound of the pouring rain
Overnight you’ve become a stranger
I grab my bag and I set my aim
I’m out the door and I left my key
Doin’ 90 and it’s still too slow
100 miles gone but plenty to go
To get over it
To get over it
I look ahead and the sky is black
My tank is empty, I ain’t coming back
I’m gone
So long
Get over it
Top down, wind in my hair
No need for rearview cause I don’t care
I hear a song coming from the highway
Like a melody from nowhere
I sing along in my own key
Doin’ 90 and it’s still too slow
100 miles gone but plenty to go
To get over it
To get over it
I look ahead and all I see
A better road there ahead of me
I’m gone
So long
Get over it
Pulled in to town at the break of day
I’m back home like I was never away
Dark days will become a memory
If they ask I’ll have nothing to say
Its old news and you lose
Doin’ 90 and it’s still too slow
100 miles gone but plenty to go
To get over it
To get over it
I look ahead and the sky is bright
My tank is full, everything’s alright
I’m gone
So long
Get over it
Tell Me What You Want
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierI don’t know what you want from me
But you can have it all
Take anything you want from me
Said you can have it all
I want to give you everything that you want
I’m at your beck and call
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
‘Cause I just might give it
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
‘Cause you just might get it
What have I done for you lately?
It don’t matter at all
What have you done for me lately?
It don’t matter at all
Out on a limb for you baby
And I’m about to fall
I’m on my knees for you lady
Please don’t make me crawl
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
‘Cause I just might give it
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
‘Cause you just might get it
You better say it again
‘Cause I’ll be coming back around
You better tell your friends
That I’ll be comin’ ‘round, comin’ ‘round
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
‘Cause I just might give it
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
‘Cause you just might get it
Ghost In The Room
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierI can feel you looking over my shoulder
Watching every move that I make
Lord I’m feeling so much older
I’m still working on my give and take
Those times they feel so long ago
The nights seem so short these days
Oh the places that I’ve seen, and the spaces in between
Since we’ve gone our separate ways
Don’t know how I’ll make it this lonely
Don’t see it changing very soon
I think I finally see, you hanging over me
Like a ghost in the room
I see your face when I close my eyes now
But pretend I’m glad you went away
I hide it well, nobody knows but me
A debt that never ends, that’s the price I’ll pay
Don’t know how I’ll make it this lonely
Don’t see it changing very soon
I think I finally see, you hanging over me
Like a ghost in the room
18,000 Days
Written by Kevin WilsonPreacher man can you hear me?
I have a story to tell
I tried to walk the straight line
But it didn’t go so well
I read the book that you gave me
And I thought that I understood
Between the words and actions was a breakdown
Results weren’t very good
18,000 Days
To become this way
Oh what a price to pay
I’ve got a hand full of wishes
And a pocket full of hate
I’m gonna put ‘em to work now
And sit here and wait on fate
You can’t pray with four letter words
And pretend that it is real
You can’t choose what you keep and lose
When you live to beg and steal
18,000 Days
To become this way
Oh what a price to pay
Sometimes it’s hard to see
I guess the joke’s on me
They say its destiny
When you add fire to gasoline
Lawman’s gonna chase my soul
Put a high price on my head
I know he won’t really care
If I’m breathing or I’m dead
He’s gonna take my picture
And I won’t even smile
Newspaper story will say
I’m gonna be with him for a while
18,000 Days
To become this way
Oh what a price to pay
A Little Every Day
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierWeatherman says it’s gonna rain
Not sure if I should believe again
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it
Oh Lord it’s been a while
Maybe I should write the book
Let everyone take a look
Doesn’t matter who believes
Won’t you all come and enjoy it
It may just set you free
Time to turn another page
Believe in every word I say
Line by line they light the way
Clouds are parting here’s the sun
Shining down, I start to run
From everything that’s come undone
‘Cause it’s getting better
A little every day
Weatherman sings a different tune
Says the spring it’s coming soon
Lord I hope it’s true this time
I’m gonna take this news and live it
And I won’t change my mind
Time to turn another page
Believe in every word I say
Line by line they light the way
Clouds are parting here’s the sun
Shining down, I start to run
From everything that’s come undone
‘Cause it’s getting better
A little every day
Time to turn another page
Believe in every word I say
Line by line they light the way
Clouds are parting here’s the sun
Shining down, I start to run
From everything that’s come undone
‘Cause it’s getting better
A little every day
She’s Like A Cat
Written by Kevin Wilson and Bill HunterShe’s like a cat; she likes to do her thing
Does what she wants, you can hear her sing
Tail in the air, watch it swing
As she walks away
Where ya goin’ honey come on back
You make me feel like an old sad sack
But you know she won’t even look back
She’s got nothin’ to say
I love that girl and I don’t know why
She makes me laugh then she makes me cry
I don’t know why I even try
To make any sense of her
The sky is bright then it turns to rain
I seem so special then I feel so plain
It feels so good then it feels like pain
It’s hard to know what’s true
Where ya goin’ honey come on back
You make me feel like an old sad sack
But you know she won’t even look back
She’s got nothin’ to say
She’s like a cat; running away
She won’t look back she’s got nothing to say
She always know where the action’s at
Oooh she’s like a cat
Where ya goin’ honey come back home
Don’t run away and leave me alone
I know you feel like you have to roam
She’ll come back some day
She’s like a cat!
Watch Me Fly
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierEverywhere people moving
Back and forth, running circles here and there
I feel the chains tugging on me
Feel like a stone, can’t go nowhere
Second hand’s really flying
Father Time always seems to run away
Falling farther behind now
But I’m not gonna take it another day
Oh gonna watch me fly
Gonna spread my wings up high
Oh gonna watch me fly
Time to show what I can do
Oh gonna watch me fly
Through the air, up in the sky
Oh gonna watch me fly
If you wait I’ll come back for you
Staring at people’s faces
Every line is another page
Of a secret story
That will never see a stage
Well mine’s half written
And it’s gonna be one to see
It’s a story for the ages
I know you will remember me
Oh gonna watch me fly
Gonna spread my wings up high
Oh gonna watch me fly
Time to show what I can do
Oh gonna watch me fly
Through the air, up in the sky
Oh gonna watch me fly
If you wait I’ll come back for you
I don’t want you to worry
If I’ve gone too far to see
If you close your eyes now
Then I’m right where I’m supposed to be
Oh gonna watch me fly
Gonna spread my wings up high
Oh gonna watch me fly
Time to show what I can do
Oh gonna watch me fly
Through the air, up in the sky
Oh gonna watch me fly
If you wait I’ll come back for you
I’m Not Gone To Stay
Written by Kevin Wilson and Robb VallierI’m sittin’ on this Greyhound
Waitin’ on the turnaround
Hoping to get back home in time
I left on a jet plane
Lately things don’t seem the same
As I’ve been chasing this dream of mine
I’m coming home to unwind
Gonna spend some quality time, with the
People I love
With my friends and such
Who’ve been on my mind since I’ve been away
I need to – Get back to my hometown
Plant my feet back on the ground
That made me the man I am today
Save my place, ‘cause I’m not gone to stay
I should be used to the coach life
But this ol’ bus is a hard ride
It’s alright; I’ll do what I have to do
The view ain’t the same for me
Through the window from this aisle seat
I just can’t wait to get back home to you
I’m coming home to unwind
Gonna spend some quality time, with the
People I love
With my friends and such
Who’ve been on my mind since I’ve been away
I need to – Get back to my hometown
Plant my feet back on the ground
That made me the man I am today
Save my place, ‘cause I’m not gone to stay
Well that road that I’ve been on has many stories
Some are sad but some ended in glory
The further that road took me away
The more this old town became
More than memories
More than memories
I’ll still chase this dream of mine
But I need to spend some quality time, with the
People I love
With my friends and such
Who’ve been on my mind since I’ve been away
I need to – Get back to my hometown
Plant my feet back on the ground
That made me the man I am today
Save my place, ‘cause I’m not gone to stay
