Lyrics from Lonely Road to Freedom

Make It Right

Jess/Stewart/Bryan/Moulton

Life slipped away and before I realized/it was a little too late to do the things today/that yesterday I put off telling you how I really feel.

Chorus--

I wanna make it right with you./And unlock those crazy things we use to do./And get lost in that all-night lovin’ attitude./I wanna make it right, make it right back to you. These days are long and though I get along,/I can’t shake your smile and how you gave your heart to me./I should’ve proven my love, there’s nothing else I’d rather do.

Chorus

Babe, I’m on a fast track back to you...I ain’t slowin’ down.

Chorus

Let’s Get Lost

Jess

Dang this job again it takes me away./Eight hours till the end of the day./I’ve got this thought, now baby what do you say...let’s get lost.

There’s only one thing that has been on my mind./Move a little closer, we can take our time./Come on baby, let’s cross the line...and get lost.

Chorus--

Let’s get lost in each other, lost in this moment with you./Let’s hold tight to each other and honey do those things that we do./ Let’s forget about the world, and give this love a whirl or two./I know you feel it comin’ on, cuz honey I can feel it too. So let’s lay down this time and turn out the lights./We’ll rock it slow all day and into he night./Oooo baby, you feel so right...let’s get lost.

Chorus

There’s no distractions, we’ve got nothing but time./Let’s start exploring this new love and see what we find...

Rain (Down On Me)

Jess/Moulton/Sins

These fields are drying up, Lord what else can I do?/If it don’t rain soon, we’re gonna lose everything./I’ve done all you’ve asked me too.

You’ve been holding back for so long now, just let it pour down on me./Let it wash away all my fears, you know just what I need. So let the lighting flash and the thunder crash and... Rain...down on me--X2

Storm clouds are rolling in, looks like they’re just in time./It’s gonna be a strong one by the way it looks...darling, I can see it in your eyes/That you’ve been holding back for so long now, girl let it pour down on me./ Let it wash away all your tears, I know just what you need.

Chorus

Let the rain pour down, and let it wash away our troubles for now...

Chorus

Show Me

Jess/Stewart/Moulton

In a jacked up truck, long legs and cowboy boots./She threw the door wide open like she had nothing to lose./I said, hey cowgirl, you’re lookin’ fine tonight./She said, climb on up, let me take you for a ride. Down a little back road outside of town,/I’ll get you there fast, you can bet I’ll never slow down. She said, hey cowboy do you like to get around?/She winked at me and threw a blanket on the ground./Yeah, the mood was right, I could feel it in the air./I said, I ain’t been to heaven, but I’ll bet you’ll take me there. I’m a man who ain’t ‘shamed about havin’ some fun./She said, I like it that way...let me show you how it’s done.

Chorus--

Tell me what’s on your mind...what you need that drives you wild./Show me the things you want that fire you up and get you off. Tell me what it is that turns you on...show me. It wasn’t too long ‘for I knew what she was all about./She had me inside out and upside down./I loved the way she made that Chevy move,/I was shifting gears just before her engine blew. With her angels face, and the devil’s grin.../I came up for air and she pulled me down again.

Chorus--X2

Rock Springs To Cheyenne

K. Attaway/M. Braun

I don’t think that I’ll ever forget the winter of ‘92./It must have been the coldest year that I ever knew./I left my home in Dallas, to head out for Idaho./Before I reached Colorado, I hit three feet of snow.

Chorus--

Singing Lord...let the wind blow, you know I’m so cold./Rock Springs to Cheyenne is a bad stretch I’ve been told./Two o’clock in the morning on Thanksgiving Day. It’s a damn good thing I’m a God fearing man...Cuz I’ve been forced to pray--X2 A little dog layin’ by my side, shivering just like me./I’m kinda glad it’s dark outside, there really ain’t nothing to see./Wish I had a radio to take my mind off you./I’ve got my hands on the wheel, that’s something that’s real, my fingers are turning blue.

Chorus

I learned my lesson in Denver, and again in San Antone./There’s lies in California, the truth’s in Mountain Home./How can you trust your bothers, when you can’t even trust yourself./And love’s what keeps your woman from being with somebody else.

Chorus

La Cantina

C.J. Green

No lyrics, just listen

Lonely Road To Freedom

Moulton/Jess

It wasn’t in the stars cuz I lost her love,/Took my old guitar and packed up my truck./Left her the house and everything that I believed in./So I set out for that lonely road to freedom.

Seems like a million miles of black top and dirt./The further I went, seemed like the more it hurt./There were times I wish this old heart would just quit beating./And they could bury me down that lonely road to freedom.

Chorus--

Cuz Freedom is something you will never know./When you slave to a memory that won’t let you go./And you feel her memory will slowly die.../But it’ll find you boy, especially late at night.

So I quit running, I slowed down,/Met a pretty senorita in a border town./The first time she kissed me I knew that’s just what I’d been needing./And I’d made it down that lonely road to freedom

Chorus

Don’t worry boy, you know it’ll be alright./Cuz you found the one who’ll stand beside you the rest of your life...hey.

Whiskey Blues

Moulton

Love was something that we made, my heart is something that you break./I guess I drink to kill the pain, to keep from going insane. We were lovers and friends, right to the bitter end./And I owe it all to you...for my whiskey blues. So I put that bottle down, and got my feet back on the ground./And you came back to me, if only in my dreams.

And I did it all again, I got wasted my friend.
And I owe it all to you...for my whiskey blues!
And someday I pray, that this pain will go away./I won’t do it all again, get wasted my friend./And I’ll get over you...and my whiskey blues--X2

Sadie

R. Holst

Chorus--

Has anybody here seen my old lady?/I think you know her, her name is Sadie./She’s a farmer’s daughter, she’s never been to town./She’s a farmer’s daughter, she’s hard to be found. I haven’t seen her since a week ago Tuesday./Without that gal, everyday is a blues day. /So if you happen to see her, won’t you tell her I’m home.

La ta da, la ta da, la ta da, la ta da./La ta da da, la ta da da./La ta da da, la ta da da. Now don’t be deceived, it’s a make believe story./About two girls named Seedie and Corie./They were the apple sisters, they tuned me on to Sadie./It was the apple sisters saying she was a lady.

La ta da, la ta da, la ta da, la ta ta ta da./La ta da da, la ta da da, la ta da da, la ta da da.

Playin’ The Game

J. Chapman

Chorus--

Go ahead baby take a piece of me,/Most Girls do and end a memory./With a broken promise that never quite came true./Who’s to fault, who’s to blame?/We’re both guilty of playin’ the game./To find there’s someone out there that’s better than you. We’ve been friends for quite some time./’Till that fateful night we stepped on over the line./That seems so very long ago,/That all our love could do was grow.

We’ve had some good times, but we’re moving on./No hard feelings, that’s what we’re loving on./Just one thing before you go,/A little something all my exes should know.

Chorus

If you were my baby, and if we never speak again. /Talk about the good times when you’re reminiscing with your friends./Cuz time heals wounds, girl this may take some time./To replace that piece of heart that use to be mine.

Chorus

You know there’s someone out there.../There’s gotta be someone out there.../I know there’s someone out there better than you.

Hardest Words

Moulton

You can’t blame a lady, for trying to hold on./After all those years of trying, all her strength was gone./But the marks on her face didn’t hurt like the pain in her heart./And the drinkin’ and the fightin’, was never gonna stop.

Chorus--

It can’t compare, to anything that he’ll ever do./And the hardest words that she ever said.../Was honey, we’re through. It wasn’t the first time, it happened so many times before./And when he was sober, she couldn’t love the man more./But with the twist of the bottle, his gentle hands they turned to stone./If she wanted to make it, she’d have to make it alone.

Chorus--X2

And the hardest words that she ever said.../Is I’m leaving you.

My Turn To Say Goodbye

Jess/Moulton

I wanna piece of the action, I wanna get a reaction./I think it’s my turn to play./I wanna trade in this halo, it’s getting heavy and don’t you know,/I wanna bigger slice of the pie.

Chorus--

It’s my turn to say goodbye.../Bye to the heartaches, bye to yesterday,/I’m gonna leave everything behind./So, bye to what you said, bye to the tear drops,/that fall but are not lost, my life here’s about to change.../It’s my turn to say goodbye... I wanna try something new, that’ll help me get over you./I’m gonna break loose and paint the town./I wanna get just a little wild, I wanna feel like a wild child,/I’m gonna live it up before I die.

Chorus

I wanna climb mountains I haven’t climbed, Close my eyes, spread my wings and fly.... It’s my turn to say goodbye.

Lyrics from the Debut Album

“Hard Time To Beat”

J. Jess - ’For The Ride’ BMI, K. Moulton-’Bareback’ BMI, P. Bryan

It’s the weekend time come Friday night \ All my buddies wanna tear it up. \ With the cowgirls playin’ that hard to get game \ It take a little just to loosen up. \ We work 5 to 5 on weekdays \ But that don’t get us through... \ It’s the headlights \ all night \ feeling right \ honky-tonkin’ and lettin’ loose. \ We’ll keep the music loud \ till we burn it down \ ’cuz that’s just what we do.

Chorus-

And that’s a hard \ hard time to beat. \ It’s a rodeo down a dead-end road \ gettin’ wild in the summer heat. \ Can’t wait \ till the end of the week. \ And that’s a hard time \ hard time to beat.

We’ll pop a top and do that cowboy stomp \ count to three and we’ll drink with the band. \ Get a little crazy feeling 10 feet tall \ bullet proof \ I make quite a man. \ All the girls are gettin’ loud \ throwin’ shots and long necks down. \ Little Bubba Taylor’s been off with the neighbor \ ain’t nobody seen ‘em around. \ And here comes Chip with his fruit punch sip \ one drink it’ll knock you down.

Chorus
Solo
Chorus

“All Night Rodeo”

J. Jess - ’For The Ride’ BMI

I call you up in the middle of the night \ longing to hold you tight. \ This highways getting longer day by day. \ This Denver traffic’s backin’ up \ ain’t lookin’ like it’s lettin’ up. \ But by morning I’ll be home.

Chorus-

‘Cuz I’ve been riding on this midnight bull. \ Trying to get off \ trying hard to let it go. I’ve been followin’ this all night rodeo \ lonesome highway \ take me home.

There’s nothing for miles around \ just the fields of gold as the sun goes down. \ Not sure how much more I can take. \ I’ll make my way on through the night \ I’ve got nine miles till the county line. \ I swear I’m never leavin’ here again...

Chorus

“It Don’t Hurt”

J. Jess - ’For The Ride’ BMI, K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI, P. Bryan

He set ‘em up \ I began to wash them down. \ One by one \ her memory’s hard to drown. \ And that old jukebox \ keeps playing the same sad songs. \ Quarter after quarter \ just trying to be strong.

Seems this place \ is the only place \ I belong. \ She don’t hurt \ when I’m gone

Six a.m. \ the phone rings into the dawn. \ She wants to talk \ and it won’t take that long. \ So she talks about him \ like she’s known him \ all her life. \ She said I need to tell you \ I can’t go on living lies.

Seems this place \ is the only place \ I belong. \ It don’t hurt \ when you’re gone.

Bridge-

I hung up the phone \ I can’t believe it. \ How something so good \ could hurt so bad....

The second round \ never burns quite like the first. \ But it’s all that I needed \ to take away the hurt. \ So pass me down that bottle \ I’m gonna drink her off my mind. \ And come tomorrow morning \ I’m gonna get on with my life. \ Seems this place \ is the only place \ I belong.

It don’t hurt \ when I’m gone.... (x2)

“It’s Alright (Redeck)”

K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

I like to drink good whiskey with my friends. Get a little crazy \ every now and then. \ Sit on the banks of a river \ and watch the world go by. \ With no trouble at the end of my line.

I might ride my pony all day long. \ Sit around the campfire and write another country song. \ Or hunt a big mule deer buck \ above the timberline. \ If they can make the tracks \ I can read the sign.

Chorus-

Cause it’s alright \ to get a little redneck. It’s alright \ to be a little country-fied. At the end of the day it’s my time to play \ and that’s my life. I say “Hey, Hey, Hey” Yeah \ that’s my life.

I’m gonna see my woman tonight. Pick her up in my pickup truck \ and take her for a ride. \ Show her a little cowboy lovin’ \ in that mountain moonlight. Then we’ll watch that morning sun rise.
Chorus (x2)

“What Would You Say”

J. Jess - ’For The Ride’ BMI, K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

I’ve been looking for some way \ to tell you how I feel. \ Waiting to show you \ that my love is real. \ I knew it when we met \ so long ago. \ And now I don’t think my heart can carry this load \ so

Chorus-

What would you say \ if I said what I’m saying. \ What would you do \ if I said I love you. \ How would you feel \ if I said be mine forever. \ Would you stay \ or would you go.

Here I am \ outside your door. \ We’ve been friends forever \ now I’m wanting more. \ I’m not sure I’m what \ you had in mind. \ But now I can’t stop myself \ I feel it this time.

Chorus
Bridge-I can’t wait anymore \ for your heart to open the door.

Chorus

“Whiskey River”

K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

What am I doing standing here \ watching you drowned in the bottle. \ You said the last time was the last time \ that you’d ever drink again.

Chorus-

It’s a long way across Whiskey River. \ Are you strong enough to swim. \ It you don’t let go of that bottle baby. \ It just might drag you in to Whiskey River.

Yeah, it’s been such a long time \ since I’ve seen that smile upon your face. \ It use to take me to make you happy \ but now the whiskey takes my place \ takes my place.

Chorus

Bridge-

You can get lost inside that bottle. And your troubles you can’t hide. \ If you choose to love me baby. \ I’ll be waiting on the other side \ other side of Whiskey River. Whiskey River \ across the river \ Whiskey River

“Crush”

K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

I can’t believe \ what they’ve been saying. \ That I’ve got a crush on you. \ Well I’m more than just infatuated. \ I like everything that you do \ you know I do.

Chorus I-

I like the way you curl and comb your hair. The way I miss you \ when your not there. \ The little thing’s you do \ it’s more than a crush on you. \ And the sweetest thing that I’ve ever seen, \ Watching you girl \ in those tight blue jeans. \ The way that you move \ it’s more than a crush on you.

You know they say I’m twitter-patted. \ In a way that might be true. \ But nothing is overrated, \ Darling, when it comes to you \ comes to you.

Chorus II-

I like to look deep into your eyes. \ Oh how they seem to hypnotize \ the way they do \ it’s more than a crush on you. \ And I won’t tell you any lies \ you make my days and all my nights. \ You know you do \ it’s more than a crush on you.

Chorus I

“Look At My Heart”

K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

All my friends say \ that’s no way to go \ walkin’ the line for you. \ But what they don’t know \ is how you make me feel \ with everything you do.

Chorus-

Look at my heart \ what do you see there? \ It’s full of nothing but love for you. \ Look in my eyes \ don’t they shine now? \ Just like the first time I laid them on you \ look at my heart.

And ain’t it funny how \ you changed my life \ don’t need the party crowd’s \ or neon lights. All I need now \ is you here by my side \ just like you are...tonight.

Chorus

“Won’t Set Me Free”

J. Jess - ’For The Ride’ BMI, K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

It calls my name and it knows me well \ it’s the image of your face. \ It calls to me like a long lost friend \ longing to embrace.

Heaven only knows why I left you \ standing there. \ Now it’s dark and I’m all alone \ does it matter if I care. \ Oooo \ my destiny \ oooo \ won’t set me free.

I’ll travel light cause it’s long way to go \ of getting over you. \ I’ll take this bag and the clothes on my back \ and these heavy thoughts of you.

Hell’s waiting around the bend \ but it’s too late to turn back now. \ You could say I’ve done what I’ve done \ but I’ve missed my mark somehow. \ Oooo \ my destiny \ oooo \ won’t set me free.

Bridge-

It’s a twist of fate \ I found out way too late. \ But now your already gone.

I’ll put your memory right next to my heart \ I’ll keep my eyes out on the road. \ I know we’re through girl \ I’ve done my part \ it’s just the pain it burns so slow.

It’s hard for me to stand and face this \ heartache that I’ve caused. \ I don’t know when I’m coming back \ I pray to god that it won’t be long.

Oooo \ my destiny \ oooo \ won’t set me free Oooo \ my destiny \ oooo \ won’t set me free

“Man On A Mission”

K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

It’s been a while \ since I’ve seen you girl. But I guess that’s how the world turns. \ It took some time \ without you girl. \ To see my fire still burns.

Chorus-

I’m a man on a mission \ think of what we’re missin’. \ I’m a man on a mission back to you. I’m a man on a mission \ girl we should be kissin’. \ I’m a man on a mission back to you \ I’m on a mission.

Remember the time \ we spent together girl. I know a lot since then has changed. \ But come the sunshine \ my stormy weather girl. \ I’ll prove that my love still remains.

Chorus (x2)

“Reckless Hearts”

J. Jess - ’For The Ride’ BMI, K. Moulton - ’Bareback’ BMI

I’ve never seen a love light so strong. \ It out shines the stars at night \ the twinkle in your eyes. \ You take my hand \ you pull me close \ and whisper in my ear. \ Those gentle words you had to say \ was all I needed to hear.

Chorus-

I can’t live without your touch. \ When we’re apart baby \ it hurts too much. \ Some time alone was all it took. \ For these reckless hearts \ to finally wake up.

It’s been such a long time \ since I’ve looked inside. \ At this shattered heart \ so long ago that you set aside. \ I desperately want to believe \ those things you said so right. \ And I wish you were here \ right next to me so I could hold you close all night.

Chorus

...
