ALWAYS ALMOST THERE
I WANNA KNOW

Everywhere you go now you’re looking for your people
While they’re searching high and low and they’re saying where did he go
They’re reaching out their arms and they’re hoping just to hold you
And you know it won’t be long before they want control too

Chorus:
I wanna know how this story’s gonna end.
I wanna know if you’ll meet me there my friend when we get to the end

Where they reaching out their arms or just hoping now to hold me down
They try and they try they try to knock me out somehow
Are they there behind the door every night they’re on the hunt for you
But oh no one day they’ll be running too.

Chorus:
Chorus:

Yes I believe you and I know it’s gonna end
I can’t wait to see you will you meet me there my friend when we get to the end.

TOO BAD YOU
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle

While I was busy tryin’ to find you
You were findin’ better things to do
You were catchin’ fireflies in whisky jars
While I was paintin’ your face on the moon

Too bad you never show up for your love in time
Too bad you never find one that’s true.
Too bad you never find out what you have in time
Cause your love is Too Bad

While I was busy tryin’ too bad you
Were always on the wrong side of the moon
Now you’re riding fancy in your motor car
And I’m just on the sidewalk shinin’ shoes

Too bad you didn’t show up for your love in time
Too bad you didn’t find one that’s true
Too bad you never find out what you have in time
Cause your love is too bad
Your love is too bad… for me for me for me
For me

FALLING APART
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle
© 2002 Lighthouse Music (ASCAP)

You can kick it down the street
Pick it up and show it off to people you meet and then leave it in the street
You could make it all sound so good
One word from your mouth and everyone stopped where they stood and it all sounded good to me

Chorus:
Then it all comes Falling Apart
Under the Moon
Forever and ever has caught up with you

Twisting in your turned out scene
You read someone else’s lines you don’t know what they mean you just hope
they fit the scene
You could stand us all on one ear waiting for rainy days to shine bright and
clear but now noone waits for you my dear

Chorus:
Chorus:

Now you see your stage is clear
You step up to sing but no one’s here

But you could make it all sound so good
One word from your mouth and everyone knew where you stood and it all sounded good to me

ONLY ONE
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle

Another lonely day in and no one ever hears my lonely song
And it’s my only one
You took ‘em all with you and said that you never meant to stay and it’s a lonely view
Here in my lonely room

Chorus:
Will I ride it out?
Or let it pull me down?

Wipe off the evening as mournin’ is filling up the room and it’s only you that can make me blue
When you’re alone, only one looking for a place you can go far away from your ghosts

Chorus:
Chorus:

Hide behind your make up face
Keep the way you feel locked away.
Bring it on home now and say this time you’re gonna stay
Cause it’s a lonely view
Until I picture you

Chorus:

BALDING WAY
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle
© 2002 Lighthouse Music (ASCAP)

There I am on Balding Way- Steppin’ out to make my name
Those that wished me well they wave and those that didn’t just turn away.

Refrain:
Well it’s takin’ me most of my life
And it’s stripping away my pride
Am I gonna get it back in time
I know things have got to change
This is gonna be the day

They can cause you so much pain- each bad decision that you made
They can fall on you like rain- They can make you forget your name

Refrain:

Now I’m back on Balding Way- Knowing that’s where I could have stayed
Those that wished me well still wave
Those that didn’t still turn away.
Those that didn’t still turn away

Close Your Windows And Turn Away.

JUST TO BE THERE
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle
© 2002 Lighthouse Music (ASCAP)

And they all left they’re homes just to be there and see it
They left all that they owned just to be there and see it
They know not why they roam, but they’ll be there and see it
They’re out there all alone but they’ll be there and see it

ALWAYS ALMOST THERE
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle
© 2002 Lighthouse Music (ASCAP)

Well I almost made it my times illustrated in the pages of misspent youth.
But I’ve never had to fake it- I try so hard to make it feel real- Like it’s happening to you

Refrain:
It doesn’t pay a nickel and the time you got starts flyin’ away
And the longer you keep waiting is the longer you’ll be waiting for me

Chorus:
Cause (don’t you know )I was Always Almost There (repeat )

I know I’ve got to choose and by choosin’ I’ll be losin’ something true but what am I to do
Cause you know I’ve got to take as long as I can take it just to see if these dreams come true

OUR BRIDGE IS BURNING
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle

One day you went out- went our to see-how many times-you could burn me
One day you came home-to find I was gone-a note on your pillow- said all
bridges burn

Chorus:
And our bridge is burning
Burning down
Our bridge is burning
See it fall to the ground

You said you’re alright with it- you were set to roam- mirrored walls and smoky rooms- were no place for a home-
That pillow where you laid your head forever now is gone
And in it’s place an empty space where our love belonged

SAFE

I was always safe when you were far away
Now it’s comin’ down to the one that’s leaving town
You said you wouldn’t steal, You said it would be real
Now I’m lyin’ naked and burnin’ in the sun

Chorus:
Oh mama I can see them falling, but I just can’t get out of their way.
My dominos are black clouds and they keep fallin’ and you know I got to be on my way

You take it on the cheek
You say it don’t mean you’re weak, but you’ve played the game to long now
you’ve got to get on home
You leave enough despair to cover what’s already there and now you’re lyin’ naked and burnin’ in the sun

Chorus:
My dominos are black clouds and they be fallin’

I WON'T BE HOME
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle

Send your sweet wind to carry me away
Lay your hands down to cover me safe
Cause I won’t be home-don’t wait on me
I’ll be dancin’ with amazing grace

Hold my hand down, there’s no need to wait
I’m so close now I’m seeing my fate
And I won’t be home- don’t wait on me
I’ll be dancin’ with amazing grace

Hold your hands down, that cover your face
Cause that sweet wind- carried me away
But I won’t be home- don’t wait on me
I’ll be dancin’ with amazing grace

No I won’t be home don’t wait on me
I’ll be dancin’ with amazing grace
I’ll be dancin’ with amazing grace
Just keep dancin’ with amazing grace

OVER AGAIN (WE All RAN)
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle
© 2002 Lighthouse Music (ASCAP)

We all ran together
The days all ran together too I know
Just like birds and they’re feathers, we were gonna stick together through it all
I laid down my heart and I laid down my soul.
When you said “Come on”, there I’d go…
And if I had it to do all over
If I had it to do all over
You know I’d do it all over again.

SAY IT'S TRUE
Words and Music: Dodd Inglesby Ferrelle

If you’re lonely and you can’t find your place to shine
You ain’t the only one that’s been dropped off and left behind
It might seem like nothing until to you’re down and you need something
But a handful of hope can keep your broken heart afloat.
Chorus:
So if you’ll just say it’s true
Darlin’ I’ll pay my dues and you’ll see how long it takes this heart to break.

You want it back now cause they can’t afford the price you paid
And you won’t back down until everyone sees what you gave.

You turn it up and down, but noone turns around so you scream it into every ear.
You won’t quit they know you’re never gonna go home
Until everybody knows your here.
