Track Name: When We First Met
when we first met
i was smoking popeye cigarettes
you were dancing so holy in the rain
never gave too much thought
to love, marriage, babies and what not
but here we go

grade school seems so long ago
we’ll raise up young children
and off to class they’ll go
I could have told you so

when we first met
you were wearing that purple polka dot dress
and I was giving you the eye
never gave too much thought about
back seats romance making out
but here we go

high school seems so long ago
our teenagers may take the bus
but they’ll cut them classes you know
i could have told you so

when we first met
i was dealing with some old regrets
you were seeing some other guys
never gave much thought at all
getting jobs paying debts family portraits on the wall
but here we go

university seems so long ago
i swear i never learned a thing
but hope like hell our kids can go
i could have told you so
Track Name: I've Been There (feat. Amy Carson Hunter)
Won’t you call me
If you’re broke down
Or busted flat
On the road to nowhere
I’ve been there

If you’re lonely
Or you’re lost
I will find you
I’ve been there

I don’t know where you’re going
I don’t know how to get there
But if you’re hurting
You can share
I’ve been there

When the doors
Close in your face
Won’t you call me
I’ve been there

It gets hard
When your pocket start to empty
When no one spares you change for a song
I’ve been there

Chorus

When you feel you’re at the end of your rope
Think you’ve got one last prayer
Well pray for hope
The world will kick you down and try and keep you there
But good people around do love and care

So won’t you call me
When you’re passing by
I carry burdens
And try to wear a smile
I’ve been there
I’ve been there

Chorus
