Somewhere Between
album lyrics and liner notes
Track 1: Up Early
Sun is up now streaming into my room
Opened my eyes I’m thinking of you
Slept all night in fine sheets
That were all alone
It’s just not enough
To be scrolling my phone
I’m up early
Would you like to have some coffee with me
Then we’ll see
I’m up early
We could talk awhile ‘bout family
Or work
Or dreams or places you’d like to see
If you’d agree
I’m up early
Made a cup of coffee
But I could make more for two
Arm around my six string
But I wish it was you
A week now since I’ve seen you
Been way too long,
Let’s get coffee or dinner
Let me play you my song
I’m up early
Would you like to have some coffee with me
Or some tea
I’m up early
We could talk awhile 'bout family
Or work, or dreams or places you’d like to see
If you’d agree
I’m up early
Doesn’t make much sense
To be alone in a room
The time is just right now to be with you
I wish the sunrise would last all day
If it meant I’d be with you and you’d also say (Ah)
I’m up early
Would you like to have some coffee with me
Then we’ll see
I’m up early
We could talk awhile ‘bout family
Or work or dreams or places you’d like to see
If you’d agree
I’m up early
(Oh owyouoh)
(Oooh) I’m up early (early) (Oooooh)
(Oooh) I’m up early (early) (Owyouoh)
I’m up early (early)
Track 2: Walked into the Room
This guy said his goals
Was going to change his world
His work became consuming
His heart had been broken
Convinced himself there’s no more
Room in his world right now
For love
She may have wondered
If he’s kinda shy
Or mending from a broken heart
He did not make the first move
Of that he’s not proud
But one thing’s for certain
In an uncertain world
When she walked in the room
It changed his world forever
When she walked into the room
When she walked into the room
She had on a blue dress
The kind that lights up her eyes
Makes her eyes dance like it’s
A kinda dance in your soul
He saw who she was
And never looked back
Dreams of them together
Adds to his goals
One thing’s for certain
In an uncertain world
When she walked into the room
When she walked into the room
Amazing things happens
When worlds collide
Can’t run you can’t hide
Or bury yourself in your work
When her eyes dance a
Skylight into your soul
It's love it’s love it's love its love it's love it's love it's love
One thing's for certain
In an uncertain world
When she walked into the room
When she walked into the room
She had on the blue outfit that makes her eyes dance
Kinda like the skylight
Right into your soul
When she walked in the room
His life would never be the same
When she walked in the room
Walked into the room
Walked into the room
Walked into the room
Walked into the room
Track 3: Love Remains
She opens her eyes dawn is breaking
A faint light shimmers through the thin white veil
Her arm rolls to her side and
Hits the pillow
Where his head would lay
Back in the day
There’s a awful lot of history
The wonder of life’s a mystery
We’re here and we’re gone
Time moves on but
Love remains
Love remains
Pours her coffee
A smaller pot now
Takes gettin' used to
It takes gettin’ used to
Does her Word Search
Almost speaks to say her thought
That crosses her mind
In their morning coffee talk
It takes getting used to
It takes getting used to
There’s a awful lot of history
The wonder of life’s a mystery
We’re here and we’re gone
Time moves on but
Love remains
Love remains
She’s getting ready for work
Busy day ahead
Work is good
Distracts her from feeling sad
She is good she has a good job
Keeps her busy
When she thinks about …
An awful lot of history
The wonder of life’s a mystery
We’re here and we’re gone
Time moves on but
Love remains yeah
Love remains
Love remains
Awful lot of history
The wonder of life’s a mystery
We’re here and we’re gone
Time moves on but
Love remains yeah
Love remains
Ooh lot of history
Oh ho life’s a mystery
Track 4: How Long
If you get control of the time in your life
No one can tell you
You're not doing it right
I know ’cause I’m focusing in on my goals
I’d like to believe that I’m right for you
And I know that I need you too
It’s quarter to three AM
I’m focusing in on my dreams
All of these sudden thoughts
Still leave me to wonder
If it takes what I’ve got
How long how long till I know
Looking at you
l see enough talent for two
How can it be all wrapped up in you
What I’m thinking
Is coming straight from my heart
I’ve been fooled into things that weren’t true
And I’ve been screwed
From out of the blue
One thing’s for certain
It’s not gonna happen this time
All of these sudden thoughts
Still leave me to wonder
If it takes what I’ve got
How long how long till I know
It’s a long and uphill road
Sometimes I feel it’s too much of a load
But you inspire me and push me on
To where I hope I belong
Ah ha oh hoo
How Long How Long till I know
How Long How Long
How Long How Long till I know
How Long How Long till I know
How Long How Long till I know
How Long How Long till I know
Track 5: Girl from Ohio
Bop do bow bow….oh lalala
Bop do bow bow….oh lalala
Girl from Ohio said with a smile
Honey we gotta go home
Back to Ohio’s ice snow and cold
Ice snow and cold
Sipping a mango juice
Chewing on pineapple
Wind beating the palm trees around (ohh lalalala)
The sun is etching another wrinkle
Around these Irish eyes
Girl from Ohio said with a smile
Sitting on the edge of the bed (ohh lalalala)
Honey we gotta go home
Back to Ohio’s ice snow and cold
I said like a little puppy
Honey I’ll follow you home (ew lalala)
But just stay one more day
Or a week or so
Or when Ohio’s not so cold
Girl from Ohio said with a smile
Honey we gotta go home (ohh lalalala)
Girl from Ohio said with a smile
Back to the snow and the cold
Floating on a pool in 84 degrees
It’s not hard to say
Why can’t we stay - why can’t we stay
Why can’t we stay - why can’t we stay
Why can’t we stay - why can’t we stay
Why can’t we stay - why can’t we stay
Why can’t we stay
Sipping a mango juice
Chewing on pineapple
The wind beating the palm trees around (ohh lalalala)
The sun is etching another wrinkle
Around these Irish eyes (ohh)
While the Girl from Ohio
Said with a smile
Sitting on the edge of the bed (ohh lalalala)
Honey we gotta go home
Back to Ohio’s ice snow and cold
Girl from Ohio said with a smile
Honey we gotta go home (ohh lalalala)
Girl from Ohio said with a smile
Back to the snow and the cold (ohh lalala)
But I wanna stay
But I wanna stay
But I wanna stay
But I wanna stay
But I wanna stay
But I wanna staaaaaaay
Track 6: Stay
Ten million people on the street
Chance in a million we meet
And you complete me
While I compliment you
We set the world on fire
Yeah we lassoed the moon
We’re so good together
Don’t you see
We set the world on fire
And we lassoed the moon
All the more reasons to stay
All the more reasons to stay
How could I not see
Before it was meant to be
All of the good we could do
Like the stem feeds the leaves
A fate that was destined to be
I was blind and now I see
We’re like the waves that make up the sea
We set the world on fire
And we lassoed the moon
We’re so good together
Don’t you see
We set the world on fire
And we lassoed the moon
All the more reasons to stay
All the more reasons to stay
Merge
Mix
Stick together
Associate
Band together
Become one
Amalgamate
Hang together
Unify
Was blind and now I see
We’re like the waves that make up the sea
Yeah we set the world on fire
Yeah we lassoed the moon
So good together
Don’t you see-ee
Yeah we set the world on fire
And we lassoed the moon
All the more reasons to stay
All the more reasons to stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
Track 7: Still
Echoes of the stillness I crave, to stop my mind from aching...
Sleep did not come easily all night
Thinking of you
Still in my thoughts
Back with you
Waiting wondering
If it ever will
Stop this heart from aching and be
Still
Stop this heart from aching and be
Still
Rain this morning dampens my dreams
Still in the air
Waters flowed
Wind whispered on the leaves
Glisten light as
The pattered sound on a rusty roof
Will it ever end
Waiting an wondering
If it ever will
Stop this heart from aching and be
Still
Where do the waters flow
When the river’s full
Fullness in my heart begins to overflow
Begins to overflow
Overflow
Sleep did not come easily all night
Thinking of you
Still in my thoughts
Back with you
Waiting wondering
If it ever will
Stop this heart from aching and be
Still
Stop this heart from breaking and be
Still
Stop this heart from aching and be
Still
Stop this heart from breaking and be
Still
Still
Still
Still
Track 8: Garage Cottage Suite
Somewhere, we are all in our own little cottages...
Got lucky enough and
Drove down south
Rented an Airbnb
To avoid the Midwest snow and cold
Holed up with my six string
And multitrack
Had nothing but my mind and the stars
And the horses roaming round
‘Round my
’Round my garage cottage suite
Oooh my garage cottage suite
Looking out on open fields
Plenty of grass to graze
It wasn’t long until I’m
Looking on reflection
Of where we’ve been
And where we can go
As we two
As a family
Society
And our Country too
‘Round my garage cottage suite
Oooh my garage cottage suite
If we band together
Not everyone will agree
On the direction
But don’t lose sight that we
Need each other to survive
Another day
I started with nothing
But maybe got lucky
Maybe some good genes
And parents who cared
Through faults and all
Well they gave the best that they could
Found each other
Formed a family bond
Contributed to society
In our own little way
Pray our Country survives another day
Around my garage cottage suite
Around garage cottage suite
‘Round garage cottage suite
Here I am for you
From my garage cottage suite
Here I am for you
From my heart
In my garage cottage suite
Here I am for you
Singing and writing
From my garage cottage suite
Cottage suite
Here I am for you
In my garage cottage suite
Here I am for you
Singing and writing
Garage cottage suite
Here I am for you
Singing and writing
In my garage cottage suite
Cottage suite here I am for you ...
Track 9: Turn Around
I've been shut up
Shut out
Locked up
Locked down
And left without a home
In my darkest hour
From the bottom of the hole
I looked up and stopped digging
Stopped digging and started living
In the way I should've all along
Found out there's a time to stop
Running in circles
On toxic troubled ground
Turn around
Run away
Toward a brighter day
Turn around
Run away
Towards a brighter day
We had a moment
The moment passed
It's over now
We move on
Sometimes you quit and
There's a right time to quit
And that right time is now
Turn around
Run away
Toward a brighter day
Turn around
Run away
Towards the brighter day
Just an old man from Ohio
Chasing my goals
Living the dream
Having fun where I can
While I can
When I can
For tomorrow is no guarantee
Turn around
Run away
Toward a brighter day
Turn around
Run away
Towards a brighter day
Quit toxic people
Quit bad jobs
Quit bad bosses
Quit dysfunction
Quit two-faced friends
Quit hangups
What people think doesn't matter
Quit guilt
Gossip
And worry ooh
Turn around
Run away
Toward a brighter day
Turn around
Run away
Towards the brighter day
Turn around (turn around)
Run away toward a brighter day (Ya gotta)
Turn around (turn around)
Run away
Towards a brighter day (come on come on)
Turn around
Run away
Toward a brighter day (come on come on)
Turn around
Run away
Towards a brighter day
Turn around
Run away
Toward a brighter day
Turn around
Run away
Towards a brighter day
