CLEAR DAY
If your draggin’ your feet
Got a little weight there, on your shoulders, your heart is sinkin low
Take a deep breath
You know its such a little miracle, every moment that you pass is a treasure in itself
Take your time
If your bathing in the stormy oceans, of your heart, your gonna come undone.
Ch
Nothin’ can calm a cruel sea, you gotta let the weather take its course, aint no use in any force.
Maybe on a clear day, you can see for miles.
If there aint no resolutions,
Nothings going right, every thing is shifting, drifting in and out of sight
Don’t utter any cruel words
Don’t let em step outside your mind, if your bodies seething, you aint gonna change the tide
Time to resurrect that home coming notion cause there sure as hell aint nothing here to find.
Ch
Maybe on a clear- you can see for miles- maybe on a clear day
Maybe on a clear day- might give you a smile
Ch
And sometime on a clear day, it just wont matter any more!!!

STUPID SONG - Dave Johnson
Caught up in myself- I was caught in a bind
Didn’t see it comin’ no didn’t see the signs
No force of nature, was gonna shift my view
Thought we’de be together till the day we’re through
I know I didn’t listen, didn’t do what I could do
Yeah I did nothing and you just withdrew
Didn’t see you hurtin’ till the tears ran down your face
Didn’t find the right words till it was to late
CHORUS
Now Im floating down that river of shame
Hoping I aint broken you, hoping things would change
But there aint nothin’ but another stupid song
Just stirring up the memories
I can still see you walking out that door
A look of defiance I aint seen before
I knew at once, my world came crashing to the floor
I lost everything, everything I adore
CHORUS
Well I got a job in a North west town
Workin’ the stations, doin’ the rounds
I was spending money I hadn’t earnt yet
Well I guess I was tryin’ to forget
Twenty four hours I’de like to get back
Replay those scenes, the patience that I lacked
There aint nothin’ that I wouldn’t do
Get on that road leading back to you
CHORUS
Im still floating down that river of shame
Hoping I aint broken you, hoping things would change
But there aint nothing but another stupid song
Just stirring up the memories
Tearing with the melody
Drinkin like its therapy
Could you ever forgive me

LOST - Dave Johnson
Well I’m shiftin’ and a turnin’
Don’t know where I am
Ive been righting and a wronging
Don’t know where to land
Pushing and a shoving
Stuck in a jam
CHORUS
Ive been howling at the moon she’s you
Aint slept for weeks its true
Roads all lead to nowhere, compass don’t know where to go
Ive been stumblin’ and a mumblin’
My pride left long ago
And the feelings that are lingering
Are all I have to show
They loiter in the corner
Weeds that need a mow
Chorus
BRIDGE
I don’t know, what road I wanna be on
I can’t speak, you name anymore
I’ve been grumblin’ and a cussin’
Talkin’ when nobody’s there
Ive been sleepin’ on the sofa
Cant make it up the stair
Got Miss Whisky in my pocket
Well she don’t care that I care
CHORUS

OUT OF REACH - Dave Johnson
Your name sits at the edge of my tongue
Your a song always wanting to be sung
But your always out of reach and your walls are just to steep
For me to climb
Well Im sittin in my friends back yard
And theres a million stars floatin far and wide
And each single one of them speaks "Dang I love ya like a freak"
Behind these eyes
You might say I got those lonesome blues
Sure as hell been singin those lines
Over and over again
Like my baby done left and my trains shot through
You know honey dont wanna live my life in lew
Well the sky could be blue
And the sun shining like it always do
But really I dont mind cause without you
Its a waiste of tome
