Life: Here & Now II

Put me in charge, watch me go I can't think of anything I don't know I'm going ahead with or without the flow Just because I can Give me the reins; so I can shout 'yeehaw' Give me the wheel of this million-dollar car Up or down, I can take this far It's who I am

I can't begin to say all the things i have in here all the things that I love the things that I fear all the pain I've created all the times that I'm elated simply by seeing You smile

Waking up in the morning to the 'larm clock Racing to get my favorite asphalt parkin spot Wishing I was somewhere else Could put this life on the cosmic shelf And follow that no-trail across the range

We played on the hot asphalt Bursting black bubbles under the August sun Dirt clod grenades And willow-wand swords and some imagination Made us soldiers, made us spies Rescuing damsels who were on the run In the small town we called home

Hey, I've been lookin at the hills Sittin here wonderin Thinking 'bout things yet to come. Remembering the times, and all the chills Blue skies thunderin Waiting for the rain to wash the sun Yeah, I've been looking at the hills

You've got me pondering Making me think My mind is wandering over you 'n everything

Lost my Stetson in the wind On a rocky mountain climb Couldn't get it back again And eventually I'll stop trying

One more shadow meets the light Another antidote I'm gonna try False effects -- we'll have to smile As one more shadow leans against the wall

One more time with feeling One more time I'm reeling The touch of Divine has me seeing One more time

I've got the mountains here around me Like sentries about the sand Guarding everything I can see Across these lush desert lands Not letting me forget you Like stones stacked in the river sand And no matter what this all comes down to I know these rocks live past when I'm dead
