Keep on Talking
02:46
|
|

We know the road that we choose to walk on
is paved with sacrifice
We walk down it with our heads held high
We never look back or think twice
You resent us cause we made the choice
You were too afraid to make
Through it all we keep moving forward
While you're standing in the same place
So keep on talking cause that's all you'll ever do
And we'll keep walking until our journey's through
You're a coward and a fake your bitter lies just hold no weight
We'll walk the walk and always prove you wrong
So keep on talking
You know that words are a dime a dozen
But actions don't come cheap
It's easier to lie and deny what you want
Than to ever admit you're weak
Like my buddy Ian said in that song that he sung
You tell me that I make no difference
What the fuck have you done?
So keep on talking cause that's all you'll ever do
And we'll keep walking until our journey's through
You're a coward and a fake your bitter lies just hold no weight
We'll walk the walk and always prove you wrong
So keep on talking

Melody
02:34

I can't seem to find the melody
I switched up the chords and I changed the key
But still it doesn't sound quite right to me
I gotta do my best to make this count
No giving in no backing out
I chose this path I'll follow where it leads
They say if you seek so shall you find
Well I must be lost or I must be blind
Cause I can't seem to find just what I need
And I can't explain why I'm still here
Just passing through on borrowed years
And questioning the reasons I believe
I built it up and tore it down
Left it 6 feet underground I've done my best
I just can't let it be
They say if you seek so shall you find
Well I must be lost or I must be blind
Cause I can't seem to find just what I need
And I can't explain why I'm still here
Just passing through on borrowed years
And questioning the reasons I believe
Whoah...it seems the worst is over now
Whoah...I won't stop until it bleeds
Whoah...it seems the worst is over now this time
I can't seem to find the melody
I switched up the chords and I changed the key
But still it doesn't sound quite right to me

Not the Same
01:09
|
|
||
Don't think I'm gonna make it through this one
I've been here before but it's not the same this time
I've gotten use to people leaving
It's always been this way I've always been alone
It's getting harder to find reasons
Not to back out of this race and let them write my name in stone
Don't think I'm gonna make it through this one
I've been here before but it's not the same this time

Play On

I was staring one night down a dark lonely highway
I heard a voice calling I didn't understand
The voice was a spark that lit a fire inside me
Play on my brothers play on
And I'll sing out this song til my voice proves hollow
I'll play this guitar until death takes my hand
The songs will live on in those who will follow
Play on my brothers play on
As time went on the voice grew louder
The fire blazed brightly consuming me whole
And I traveled as fast as I could down that highway
Play on my brothers play on
And I'll sing out this song til my voice proves hollow
I'll play this guitar until death takes my hand
The songs will live on in those who will follow
Play on my brothers play on
In a small crowded room the band is playing
It's hot and it's packed but nobody cares
Cause we're all sweating and singing together
Play on my brothers play on
And I'll sing out this song til my voice proves hollow
I'll play this guitar until death takes my hand
The songs will live on in those who will follow
Play on my brothers play on

Watch it Burn
02:37
|
|
||
I've been doing this for years now and I've had my ups and downs
I've finally come full circle here with both feet on the ground
I can almost say I'm satisfied with the person I've become
I've found something worth living for stopped living on the run
Take one last look around at everything that held you down
And we'll leave this town
Burn it to the ground
Never to return
Cause we've lived and learned
We'll watch it burn
I don't know where I'm going now but I'm not staying here
I'd rather leave and take a chance than waste another year
This place is good for nothing more than killing people's dreams
But I'll fight til my dying breath won't get the best of me
Take one last look around at everything that held you down
And we'll leave this town
Burn it to the ground
Never to return
Cause we've lived and learned
We'll watch it burn
Tried and true we've got nothing left to prove
Time to think for ourselves we'll stand our ground
And we'll leave this town
Burn it to the ground
Never to return
Cause we've lived and learned
We'll watch it burn

Logan County Rejects

We got nowhere to go another Saturday night
Driving around in my car
Got the punk rock blasting on the stereo
Someone take me back to the start
We were the Logan County rejects we were angry young and poor
Never had a destination didn't know what we were looking for
But we'd drive all night ti the morning light
Dreaming bout breaking out
Some got lucky and we made it and some are lying in the ground
We got nowhere to go another Saturday night
Driving around in my car
Got the punk rock blasting on the stereo
Someone take me back to the start
We never had that much ambition beyond just having fun
We were all there for each other
Still are when it's said and done
We all went our ways but the memories stay
As sure as the rising sun
No matter where I'm going I won't forget where I come from
We got nowhere to go another Saturday night
Driving around in my car
Got the punk rock blasting on the stereo
Someone take me back to the start
We set a course for a destination
Somewhere far away from here
Fought tooth and nail to break the cycle
Won't become a casualty of fear
No I'm not staying here
We got nowhere to go another Saturday night
Driving around in my car
Got the punk rock blasting on the stereo
Someone take me back to the start

This Round's on Me
01:38

Time to raise your voice time to raise your glass
Drink to the future or celebrate the past
Problems start to fade with every song we sing
So drink up boys this round's on me
Forget about your sorrow forget about your strife
Don't worry about tomorrow let's raise some hell tonight
Problems start to fade with every song we sing
So drink up boys this round's on me
We're honky tonk heroes and hooligans tonight
We punch the clock and we tow the mark
God knows we've earned our stripes
And by the sweat of our brow
Living for the here and the now
Raise your glass raise your voice tonight
Time to raise your voice time to raise your glass
Drink to the future or celebrate the past
Problems start to fade with every song we sing
So drink up boys this round's on me

Sheldon Vance Charleston, West Virginia
I have never really considered myself a "musician" or "singer"...I am just a fan who loved music so much that simply
listening wasn't enough involvement for me.
What I do may be acoustic, but it is aggressive and is put forth with every fiber of my heart and being. I just want to play...plain and simple...I honestly and humbly feel that the songs I have are worth sharing.
