My Rocks



These three songs are keeping me sane. This three songs explain exactly what I'm going through in my life right now...

These three songs keep me STRONG!








She grew up on the side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good, she grew up slow
Like American Honey

Steady as a preacher, free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get going, but wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American Honey

There's a wild wild whisper blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American Honey

Get caught in the race of this crazy life
Tryin to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time 
To American Honey



There's a wild wild whisper blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh, nothing's sweeter than summertime
And American Honey

Gone for so long now
Gotta get back to her somehow
To American Honey




I know they say, "You can't go home again"
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am I know, you don't know me from Adam
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine

Up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else, I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave 
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
From Better Homes and Garden magazine
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board
Daddy gave life to Mama's dream



I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else, I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave 
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me

You LEAVE home, you MOVE on 
And you do the BEST you can
I got LOST in this ol' world and FORGOT 
Who I AM

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else, I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could walk around, I swear I'll leave 
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me



(couldn't find the official video...not sure if there is one yet...)

On my highway the yellow lines 
Have disappeared from time to time
And I've wound up on the wrong side of the road
On my highway I've gone too fast
Afraid that I might finish last
I've hugged a curve too hard and lost control
Oh then never know which way it's gonna go

But what a feelin, chasin the sun
Livin my life like it's shot from a gun
Laughin a little bit more with every mile
Oh what a freedom, racin the wind
Dyin to know whats around the next bend
And smilin as I watch the years roll by
I'm learnin how to take it day by day
On my highway

On my highway, I missed some signs
And left a damn good love behind
I see [him] in my rearview like a ghost
On my highway, I've broken down
Cried when no one else was around
And prayed that God would take my soul
Yea, I've paid a lot of heavy tolls



But what a feelin, chasin the sun
Livin my life like it's shot from a gun
Laughin a little bit more with every mile
Oh what a freedom, racin the wind
Dyin to know whats around the next bend
And smilin as I watch the years roll by
I'm learnin how to take it day by day
On my highway

Yea, what a feelin out on the run
Drinkin up the rain, soakin up the sun
Laughing a little bit more with every mild
Oh what a freedom like a sail in the wind
Not lookin back, not forgettin where I've been
Smilin as I watch the years roll by
I'm movin on from my mistakes
And learnin how to take it day by day
On my highway....
