Keep On
Just when I thought I was over you
Well those feelings are back again
And it seems like I'm missing you
And I don't know if I'm able to
Keep on, hold on, it'll be alright
Keep on, hold on, hold your head high
And when I'm walkin these lonely streets
And I'm talkin and its only me
And I wonder if I'll make it thru
Guess I'm still thinkin of you
Keep on, hold on, it'll be alright
Keep on, hold on, hold your head up high
Sometimes when I'm walkin around
I can feel the hurt and pain
I know they don't understand, don't know what you're going thru
But you got to believe in yourself and keep it all on the inside
Keep on, hold on, it'll be alright
Keep on, hold on, spread your wings and fly

Open Road

So I left on the open road
I was so much younger back then
But I set out on my own
Lookin for some place to call my home
So I went from town to town
I was so much stronger way back then
Searchin for something to call my own
Never thought I'd see you there
Oh oh the Open Road
Take me back to my home
Oh oh the Open Road
Don't leave me all alone
So I met many restless souls
They were tryin to make it out there on their own
Carryin round the same old pain
Lookin for something to ease their fear
Repeat chrs
And I found out long ago
The road can leave you wantin more
But I'm so much wiser now
Well I think I can leave it all behind
Repeat chrs

Father Mother

So we sat on evergreen boughs
The firelight flickered on the teepee walls
And our father spoke as we sat and listened
Of how they lived their lives out on the land
And the shadows danced to the firelight
She began to sing, he began to drum
Of how they lived their lives deep in the forest
And how they stayed alive and gave us life
All the times they spent, only each other
All the nights they had, holding each other
Now those days are gone forever
And as the morning light came, glistened thru the trees
We packed our things away travelled on the river
Our father led us out, away from the storm
Gotta make it home he said before the light goes down
Repeat chrs
So we sit here all alone
All I want is to see them again
And I don't know which way I'm goin
But I know the'll be in my heart
Repeat chrs

North Bound Train

Travellin home on a northbound train
Rusted rails weavin thru the lowland
Dusty roads still look the same
Cross the river in an ole man's boat, I'm feelin good
As I walk up to my folks home
Think I see them in the window
My heart aches, I don't know why
Took so long to get back, but I'm here now
So many fears I left behind
So many tears I've yet to cry
No matter where I've been or what I've seen
Northbound train always takes me home
But its hard to leave on the southbound
Always hard to ride it down, But I'll ride it down
So I took a walk on the main road
Past the places I used to know
Smiles on faces they're getting old
Weathered and worn by the northern winds
and its cold 'n' hard
So many tears I thought I left behind
So many tears I've yet to cry
No matter where I've been or what I've seen
Northbound train always takes me home
But its hard to leave on the southbound
Always hard to ride it down, But I'll ride it down
As the Fall rains drizzle down on me
Tall grass grows where old homes used to be
I feel the old haunts all around me
Spirits, souls and small-town ghosts

My first thoughts in the morning
Is thinking of you
Where we've come from and what we've been through
I know we shouldn't have made it
But our love rang true
All of these memories of love we share
Keeps me going when you're not there
I can't stop thing about you
All our tender years
We wasted many years
And we can't take them back
So let's run together
You and I forever
Don't let go take my hand let me love you
I need you by my side
So here we are now
Nothing to lose
Got the whole world before us lets take it
on now
Before we lose our way
We've come so far
And I know we're gonna make it
Gonna shut the world out
Just you and I
So let's run together
You and I forever you and I forever
Lets run together baby just you and I
