You ask me what time it is in Florida
What if I told you I don't know?
We're always waiting for the weekend
Get drunk and let it all go
We're trying hard to get it all right
All the right exits to take
But it's a crash course in forgiveness
And I make a lot of mistakes
Well your town has so many stop signs
A chance to pause see where you've gone
I tend to move a little faster
Cause my town only has the one

More Plans Than Ideas

Well he's painting in his garden
Sunflowers flowing with the gentle breeze
And I'm just sitting stuck here typing
Air conditioned stability
Oh I wonder did he ever
Think that he was going the right way
Or was it just that under his straw hat
He had more ideas than he ever did plans
When the sunflowers die
We welcome in the fall
With the changing of the leaves
Oh well did he lament
The end of the summer
Just like you and me
I'm always scared I can't get a thing right
And stubborn practicality is holding me back
But I can't see straight before it's too late
To take a jump off of the side track
When the sunflowers die
We welcome in the fall
With the changing of the leaves
Oh well did he lament
The end of the summer
Just like you and me
All his old fears in ten short years
His fanatic heart poured into his brush
Takes more than canvas to make something last
Well pain and misfortune I ain't in no rush
Oh the sadness will last forever
But my body and soul never will
And one day we will lose all the sweetness
But we all have love in us still

Oranges In The Backyard

Oh you know we're all leaving
And the kind of way we're headed oh it ain't clear
Getting to this point really took us some guidance
We're all really truly gonna try our hardest
Try to not disappear
Chomping at the bit, but dragging our feet
Not content with staying but terrified of change
Time moves along and we don't even notice
Time moves along and nobody told us
That we won't stay the same
Oranges in the backyard
Oh life is sweet
We've only just begun to taste it
Oh but you never know when there's gonna be another freeze
I'm a bit naive is that alright to say?
I'm a little drunk, baby, glaze across my eyes
Caught staring back at my old address
And scene's change but no regrets
It's time that we say goodnight
Oranges in the backyard
Oh life is sweet
We've only just begun to taste it
Oh but you never know when there's gonna be another freeze
And the last thing you wanna be is stuck
And I'm not worried but I am concerned
About everything's all left up to chance
And it all rolls by without a second glance
Oranges in the backyard
Oh life is sweet
We've only just begun to taste it
Oh but you never know when there's gonna be another freeze

We've all been broken and we've all been torn
Stuck in the middle of tired and worn
I wish I hadn't followed her all over town
Cause I know what happens when she's not around
And love tries your patience and sometimes it gets low
Some love dies quickly and some burns out real slow
And it takes a smart man of which I am not
To tell when to stick it out and just when to walk
And we can get better now if only we tried
Cause loving is the hardest part it only comes by and by
But it's all a river that we must cross
Some folks'll stick around and some will get lost
And the folks that you care for you better let them know
cause through all the hardest times their the ones helping you grow
You're helping me grow

32oz To Freedom

Bought my old english down at the store
Thirty two ounces I need eight more
Spent all money on my baby and me
Down at the liquor store
Heading from the east sunset in the west
My baby she loves me she loves me the best
My last four dollar put the gas in this tank
Darling you're breaking my bank
Well you're loving it keeps me from pulling away
It takes me and it shakes me I got nothing to say
Why waste your sweet time on a drunkard like me
Take your bags and your guitar and leave
One day you'll leave me and I surely will die
Left alone with the bottle and this poor soul of mine
Drinking my whiskey and sipping my gin
Knowing I'll never see you again
