It's Rainin on the Moon
It's Raining On The Moon
(Denton)
Have you heard the news it's rainin on the moon
The TV news man says we gotta all stay tuned
Even the scientists they say its true
Showin stupid diagrams of the news mans cartoons
Well common sence tells us none of this is true
There sellin a theory that the end is coming soon
There's a rocket bus leavin this afternoon
They tell us if you stay here our lives are doomed
Lots of shifty stuff goin on behind the scenes
Too much negative shit on our TV screens
It's all headlines in perfect disguise
Aint news no more just prime time lies
Oh it's rainin on the moon
Oh it's rainin on the moon
Every channels got a version of the same ol spin
Truth is lost in the fight their in
Somewhere deep down we all know whats true
Ain't them on the screen it's just me and you
It's the same ol story with a different face
Got our heads spinnin all over the place
Prime time lies dressed up as red and blue
Not tellin' the truth keepin' that from you
It's rainin - Rainin on the moon
"TIME"
TIME
(Denton)
I was young with a fist full of wild & free
Didn't think about time didn't think about me
Didn't hear the clock when your runnin fast
I'm runnin behind time don't look back
Well I left when she was barely nine
Told myself it would be just a short time
Missed her growin missed those years
Missed her laughter missed her tears
I should have said I love you a thousand more times
Instead of thinkin I had so much time
Should have stayed when she needed me there
Out chasing the world like I didn't care
No rewind no second take
No way back from the decisions we make
Lost time in those nights lost time in those days
Gone like dust in a hurricane
You don't get it back time passes by
Your life burns out in the blink of an eye
Well I was busy chasin what I thought I'd needed
Didn't see what was right in front of me
I'm older now and I finally know
Time don't wait it just lets you go
Time is a gift you never see
Till it's gone from you and me
Every minute is gold every breaths a loan
You don't know it till it's gone
Time goes so fast
Time you gotta make it last
Just Playin Guitar
JUST PLAYIN GUITAR
(Denton)
Walking up broadway - a six string in my hand
Gotta find me a Gig - before the night sets in
If I had a car man - I'd fill her up and drive
Where the bright lights shine - and the riffs run wild
Route 66 to the California Shores
Gotta be somethin here a whole lot more
No Second guessin the life I lead
Just Playin Guitar is all I need
Call myself a writer but I never get paid
Playin till my fingers bleed ain't got it made
Just gotta keep pickin it's guaranteed
Just Playin Guitar is all I need
Now I'm playin in the band their rockin in the seats
Givin lots of music to people I meet
Great to feel those strings again
Just Playin Guitar till 2 AM
It's a dusty pink strat in a road worn case
Strings tired from the many miles in a worn out space
Now I'm playin guitar my soul is free
"Just Playin Guitar" - Is all I need
Just Playin Guitar
"Het Dad I'm Doin Fine:
HEY DAD I'M DOIN FINE
(Denton)
I’m remembering back through the years today
There's so much (to you) I need to say
Oh I know Yes I know
The candles burnin bright on your birthday cake
Your first steps I watched you take
Oh I Know - My Love Grows
Your tiny footsteps running down the hall
Askin Dad please don’t let me fall
The bedtime stories that we read
Or the monsters underneath your bed
Now your bedroom is empty doesn’t sound the same
But your walls remember your name
Watched you grow up each and every day
In your unique and special ways
Oh I know - My love grows
When I was sad having a bad day
Hugs from you the hurt went away
Oh I know Yes I know
We hit a few bumps along the way
But you forgave me I have to say
Helped me grow It helped me grow
Your accomplishments so many to say
It defines who you are today
It's amazing who you are today
Walking slow through the arena halls
Watching you answer those important calls
Big steps in years gone by
Standin there with a fathers pride
Third base givin you the signs
Watching you grow up one pitch at a time
The game was over we closed the day
I wouldn't change a single play
Through the Years the adventures we took
Precious memories in our family book
So many miles separate us now
I learned to love because you taught me how
God knows fathers need some grace too
So he gave me kids like you
Now I'm an old emotional man
You hold my heart in your hands
Someday just a picture in a frame
Remember my love is an endless flame
Morning golf course in the rising sun
Playing golf with my son
In her I see the work she's done
But I still see my little one
Your all grown up and gone away
The wrinkles on my saddned face
You don't need me like you used to
"But I" Still need to be a Dad to You
Ask I need now is a short call
From you to say
"HEY DAD I'M DOIN FINE"
"HEY DAD I'M DOIN FINE"
"Travelin Man"
TRAVELIN' MAN
(Denton, Wallen & Anders)
He woke up with a restless heart, boots by the door
Same ol town but he wanted so much more
Map on the dash and a tank half full
Dreams run deeper than his paycheck can pull
Dust on the road and the suns comin up
His coffee in a dented roadside cup
Every mile is like a brand new song
He don't know where just knows he's gone
He's a travelin' man with the wind at his back
Chasin' down a life he ain't lived yet
From the mountains high to the oceans wide
Got a fire in his soul he can't keep inside
Every town's just a stop along the way
Every night's a different place to stay
He ain't lost just can't stand still
Got miles to go and worlds to fill
Met a girl in a desert town one night
Neon glow in the pale moonlight
She said "why you always just passin through"
There's too much I ain't seen and a lot left to do
He's a travelin' man with the wind at his back
Chasin' down a life he ain't lived yet
From the mountains high to oceans wide
Got a fire in his soul he can't keep inside
Left at dawn with a soft goodbye
Rear view mirror full of her tear filled eyes
But the road kept callin' out his name
Freedom's a gift but a lonely flame
Maybe someday he'll settle down
Plant some roots in a quiet town
But till that day doin' the best he can
Back on the road he's a "Travelin' Man"
Travelin Man
He's a the Travelin Man
Travelin Man
"Words are Just Words"
WORDS ARE JUST WORDS
(Denton)
Some folks spit fire trying to feel real tall
It's just cheap talk
They sling words like broken glass
Trying to make a moment last from the past
But words are just words let em say what they want
Livin by love not somebody's words
Their poison just fades it's a fact
Roll off your shoulder just don't react
Let kindness be louder the truth is your shield
What's they say in anger is easily healed
Some folks use words without knowing their weight
Fall from their mouth now it's far too late
Words are just words just echoes in time
Don't let them define your piece of mind
You choose what stays you choose what's heard
Your bigger than hate your bigger than words
Don't know your road don’t play their game
They try to fan the hateful flame
A tongue ain't steel when lies aren't true
Only cuts deep if you let it cut you
Just let em talk till they outta breath
Hurt can’t come from things unsaid
Kindness runs deeper than words ever could
Walking away feels so damn good
Words are Just Words - they can't hurt
"It's Too Late Now"
ITS TOO LATE NOW
(Denton)
I let the silence say the things I should have said
Watched your tears fall as I turned my head
Thought you'd stay no matter what I'd do
Now I'm alone replaying all of you
I broke what I shoulda held tight
Traded your love for one more night
Now your gone and I see clear
I had heaven standin right here
Now I'm stuck with truth I really hate
I was the one who sealed our fate
If I could turn back time somehow
I'd choose you but it's
Too Late Now
You gave me chances I threw away
Turned your sunshine into shades of gray
You were everything I couldn't see
Now your memory won't leave me be
It's Too Late Now
How can I get you back
It's Too Late Now
Gotta find a way somehow
It's Too Late Now
It's a sad song I'd love to rewrite
I broke what I shoulda held tight
Now your gone and I can't pretend
I ever get another chance again
It's Too Late Now
I left your boots by the front light
Like you'd come back in the middle of the night
I just wanna hold you somehow
Go back to the start
But It's Too Late Now
You were as steady as the west Texas sky
I was the storm you needed to hide
Just a man with a broken heart
I tore my whole world apart
It's Too Late Now
It's Too Late Now
"You Know I've Got a Brother"
YOU KNOW I'VE GOT A BROTHER
(Denton)
You know I've got a brother
2 pieces of our family tree
As kids we grew up together
With Mom & Dad a happy family
They say there is a reason
They say time will heal
Well neither time or any reason
Will change the love for you we feel
Somehow something tells me
Your watching down over me
A perfect view from heaven
But in our hearts you'll always be
You know I've got a brother
Watchin stars in an Arizona sky
Or sittin round a Munds fire (With so much laughter)
Losing you too soon and wondering why
If family love could have saved you
You'd be right here today
Flyin your drone in the mountains
Or on a trail leading the way
You know I've got a brother
Your love for the lord was so real
Now you sit in his presence
All your pain has been healed
You know I've got a brother
Your love for the lord was so real
Now you sit in his presence
All your pain has been healed
These words are not enough
For the message I wanna send
Feelin blessed to have known you
As my brother & my friend
You know I've got a brother
"The Best I've Ever Had"
THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD
(Denton)
He takes a bite and leans back in his chair
Closes his eyes like he's sayin a prayer
Shakes his head let's out a laugh
Says " That's the best I've had"
From diner fries to a five star plate
Doesn't matter if it's cheap or great
Every flavor hits him just right
It's the best he's tasted in his life
Every little road trip every road he's on
Life's experiences long long gone
Every laugh every mile he's to damn glad
Best road trip I've ever had
Drivin in slow Mug & Bun's the place
It's May in Indy I'm home for the race
Takes one bite leans back and tips his cap
Best tenderloin I've ever had
Sunset bleeding in a desert sky
Wind through my windows cactus rolls by
On our way up north he looks at her and says
It's "The best drive I've ever had"
The query inn time to get some rest
No TV knob it's lost I guess
The manager's blankets my kids wanna scream
It's "The best hotel I've ever seen"
Wakes up with the rooster before the sun hits the sky
Sunset bleeding in a desert sky
Wind through my windows cactus rolls by
On our way up north he looks at her and says
It's "The best drive I've ever had"
The query inn time to get some rest
No TV knob it's lost I guess
The manager's blankets my kids wanna scream
It's "The best hotel I've ever seen"
Wakes up with the rooster before the sun hits the sky
Pours yesterdays coffee takes a sip not sure why
Burnt toast & egges in a skillet eggs it ain't hell bad
Best breakfast I've ever had
Well every time I eat & drink somethin good
Out comes that statement just like it should
My kids laugh thinkin Dad's gone mad
But "It's the best laugh they've ever had'
Best I've Ever Had
"Family" Acoustic
Family (Acoustic)
(Denton)
In a little house where laughter stays
We count our blessings in quiet ways
Through every storm through every year
Family is courage standing here
It's not the walls it's who's inside
Everybody feels family pride
Love is the light when the night gets long
Family is the place where we all belong
Through every high through every fall
We rise together we stand so tall
From bedtime stories to kitchen fights
To makin up in the mornin light
Every moment both big and small
Builds the strongest love of all
When the world feels far to cold
Mom will be the hand that you hold
No matter where our lives will lead
Family is the strength we all need
Love is the thread that won't let go
Family is the roots that helps us grow
Through every dream through every scar
Us together is where we are
We grew up runnin' through grandma's yard
All of playin so damn hard
Chicken & Dumplins a recipe nobody knows
Sunday's at grandma's was the place we all chose
Cousins by blood but friends we grew
Life saves times we all knew
From old school games to a newborns cry
Another generations passing by
Mom & Dad leadin the way
Guiding my heart every single day
Uncle's laugh tellin stories loud
Aunt's bring love that makes us proud
Christmas together all the lights aglow
Me and my cousins playin in the snow
We're family what else can I say
Love like this will never fade away
The greatest words in the world
Are "Love & Family"
"Hold Onto Hope"
HOLD ONTO HOPE
(Denton, Wallen, Anders)
Long shadows fall across the fading day
A distant echo calls I'm slippin away
Dust rises silver in the winding streets
Old records spinnin through a summer heat
Broken glass memories haunt the wooden rails
Neon lit histories tangled in smoky trails
Footsteps returning to the place I knew
Dreams left burnin under skies of blue
A restless wind is howling alone
Carrying secrets nowhere to go
When the night rolls on it won't let me go
Every ounce of longing carved into my soul
I hear the river whisper truths I can't ignore
Hold on to hope just a little more
When the night rolls on it won't let me go
Electric desires in the pulse of the room
Fingers on frets painting colors of gloom
A faded sign flickers of stories untold
Promised scattered too weary to hold
Fallin through moments lost & found
Hearts beating wildly to a thunderous sound
Hold onto hope
Caught in the silence between the lines
Hold onto hope
Haunted by memories chasing the signs
When the night rolls on it won't let me go
Every ounce of longing carved into my soul
I hear the river whisper truth's I can't ignore
Hold on to hope just a little more
Hold onto hope it will let me go
Maybe tomorrow I'll find my way
Break from these shadows step into the day
But the road keeps callin slow & wide
With every heartbeat I'm pulled inside
Hold onto hope it will let me go
Every ounce of longing carved into my soul
I hear the river whisper truth's I can't ignore
Hold on to hope just a little more
Hold onto to hope it will let me go
Street lights flicker then softly fade
I'm holdin on to promises we made
The night rolls on but I remain
Waiting for sunlight after the rain
Hold onto hope
Hold onto hope
"The Chair:
THE CHAIR
(Denton)
It was just another summer day
Gonna sit in my garage and read away
Funny how life changes so quick
As I sat down my life would change
My left hand would be rearranged
One slip in a flash my finger disappeared
Called 911 son wrapped it up
Iced in a tupperware plastic cup
One bad move and I already know
Had 10 fingers playin to the beat
Stomping the floor I could plainly see
"The Chair' had other plans
They wrapped my hand and drove me away
To a 4 week long hospital stay
Nine fingers and a new story to tell
As the doctor talked I nodded quick
7 hours of surgery I felt so sick
Another lesson flashing right before eyes
Bandages wrapped was a warning sign
Mirrors don't care it just draws a line
Every scar tells the bitter truth
Cut to my knuckle just wanna scream
I'm short one piece of the old me
But "The Chair" remembers everything
I can still shake hands still play the slide
"The Chair" didn't take away all my pride
Life's little chaos can't clip my wings
When the cold rolls in I feel it ache
Sittin down that day was a big mistake
In the "The Chair'
Nine fingers still livin life
Still tie, still wave, still write this line
Sometimes you just gotta overcome
20 years have passed as I write this song
Every scars a lyric when things go wrong
But I'm still playin my guitar
My Life is good thankful today
I thought my playin days had gone away
But "The Chair" didn't understand
Now what I lost is back on my hand
Thank God the surgeon had other plans
No thanks to "The Chair"
No thanks to "The Chair"
"YOU"
"YOU"
(Denton)
You don't need a crown or a mountain of gold
Don't need to hear a story someone already told
“You” can be the light that gets us through
Yes the smallest changes
It Starts with "YOU"
Just a kind word spoken or a hand held tight
Every choice you make even if it ain't polite
It all starts with "YOU
Every smile plants love like a seed
A kind acts bigger it's what they need
Don't have to save it all, just do your part
When your mind is wide open it's opens your heart
Just check on your neighbor or call your friend
Listen to them closely helping their heart to mend
It starts with "YOU"
It starts with "YOU"
Volunteer your time a great thing to do
A little love goes a long way
Coming from "YOU"
Just leave a note or pay for a meal
It might seem small but it's a real big deal
Comin' from "YOU"
Don't have to fix every wrong you see
Just be as good as you want the world to be
When we care we reap what we sew
Your the first car in line just pay their toll
Because it all "Starts with "You"
Starts with "YOU"
Starts with "YOU"
"Family" Full Band
FAMILY (Full Band)
(Denton, Anders & Wallen)
In a little house where laughter stays
We count our blessings in quiet ways
Through every storm through every year
Family is courage standin here
It's not the walls it's who's inside
Everybody feels family pride
Mama singing softly in the kitchen light
Dad working late but he'll be home tonight
Our family sweet & true
They're the reason we make it through
From the cradle to an old porch swing
They're the heart of everything
Love is the light when the night gets long
Family is the place where we all belong
Through every high through every fall
We rise together we stand so tall
Kids grow up and someday move away
But they're roots stay strong no matter where they stray
No matter where our lives will lead
Family is the strength we all need
Love & Family sweet and true
It's the reason we make it through
From the cradle to an old porch swing
It is the heart of everything
Money fades and time moves fast
But the sweetest things are love that lasts
Growin up on Sunday's family meals it shows
Chicken & Dumplings a receipt nobody knows
Photograph's fading in an old shoe box
Memories living in the ticking clock
From old school games to a newborns cry
Another generation passing by
One day as we grow old and gray
Still tellin family stories the same old way
Oh hold them close while they are here
Lets laugh together year by year
Because the richest soul will always be
The one surounded by "Family"
We're "Family" what else can I say
Love like this will never fade away
The greatest words in the world
Are Love & 'Family"
