To the River 05:28
lyrics

Momma told me what to do Papa he tried to tell me too But I wouldn’t listen to no one Cause I’m stubborn as a mule My brother he tried to set me straight If you go down that road it will be to late Whisky bottles everywhere Grass is greener everywhere but here Live my life with no care I’m wasted and I'm barely here Won’t you take me down to the river And wash away this pain But times are changing nothing ever stays the same Sister won’t you say a prayer for me? For here I am on a wounded knee Sometimes I feel like there’s no way out Times are changing, that’s what I’m talking about Whisky bottles everywhere Grass is greener everywhere but here Live my life with no care I’m wasted and I'm barely here Won’t you take me down to the river And wash away this pain But times are changing nothing ever stays the same Mama, won’t you let come on home? My prison walls won’t let me roam Chose my path now I gotta be true Hangman is waiting with the noose Take me to the river and wash away this pain Won’t you take me to the river, never gonna be the same Whoa take me to the river, wash away my pain Take me to the river….

You know I love you You know I care You know I’d do anything I’d lay my soul bare There’s only so much That I can take Won’t let you cheat on me Don’t need the heartache There’s bound to be trouble If you walk out that door You won’t be coming back Anymore Don’t tell me your lies Cause I don’t want to know Cuz baby There’s bound to be trouble You know I want you It’s a matter of trust Everything you do I believe in us Got a breaking point I know you know Don’t you lie to me Or I will explode There’s bound to be trouble If you walk out that door You won’t be coming back Anymore Don’t sell me your lies Cause I don’t want to know Cuz baby There’s bound to be trouble Everytime you leave here I get choked up inside If you wanna stick around here We gotta compromise

Tennessee Honey 02:52

Wake up to my old lady screaming, bout something I forgot to do Helluva way to start the day, but whatcha gonna do? Got a flat on the way to work, ended up an hour late Write me up but I don’t care I deserved it, but I’ll blame Tennessee Honey, whatcha gonna do? My Tennessee Honey, I can always count on you Stop at the bar to meet with some friends She comes over and we like to pretend Smells sweet, fine as wine, her smile gets us every time Comes back with another round, doesn’t leave just sits right down Tip ‘em up, raise your glass, cause here’s to you…… Tennessee Honey, whatcha gonna do? Tennessee Honey, I can always count on you Tennessee Honey, I love you Tennessee Honey don’t let me down When I need to escape, it works every time Go downstairs, and close the door, leave them all behind Sit down, pour a glass, here's where I'll stay I’ve got no money to buy more anyway

Life in a Bottle 03:22
lyrics
buy track
City lights shine brightly as the night life begins I have paid my dues and the weekend drags on in Got a blue collar job; like working in hell Paycheck’s getting smaller and my freedom as well Taste the juices flowing; feel the power surge Emptiness and numbing; an uncontrollable urge Life in a bottle, living on borrowed time Can’t escape this world; like walking on a thin line Working to live; living to work Wife left me for someone and all I have is my shirt Is this the end or just a change in time Make a deal with the devil though I’ve done no crime Taste the juices flowing; feel the whiskey burn Bring on another; an uncontrollable urge Life in a bottle, living on borrowed time Gonna leave this world with my life on the line Pour me another; a toast to all my friends Does it really matter if it’s the end Sooner or later I gotta take another shot Doesn’t really matter; it’s all I’ve got Taste the juices flowing; feel the whiskey burn Bring on another; an uncontrollable urge Life in a bottle, living on borrowed time Can’t escape this world; it’s the end of the line

Quite Some Time 03:11

Quite some time I’ve been watching you Quite some time now I’ve been planning my move For quite some time now I’ve been paying my dues I’m gonna have you girl And there’s nothing you can do You’ve been hangin’ ‘round Wherever I go You’ve been hangin’ ‘round Thinkin’ I don’t know You’ve been hangin’ ‘round Where nobody sees I’m gonna have you girl Here with me You know you gotta help the poor And the poor is me You know you gotta help the poor As anyone can see Oh baby help the poor Baby help poor me ‘Cause when you help the poor baby You’re really helping me I’m a strong persuader Persuade you I will I’m a lone crusader Bend you to my will I’m a strong persuader Can’t you see ‘Cause baby you belong Here with me Quite some time now I’ve been playing it cool You’ve been hangin’ ‘round now But I’m nobody’s fool We’ve been watching each other We’re afraid to move I’m a lone crusader And I’m waiting for you

Walk with Me 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Strolling I walk on the path Set out in front of me Step by step you walk with me Your silence brings me to my knees Breathing I hear your breath While we speak with no words Hanging on to every word A bit of heaven on this earth You’re not with me but you are I feel you inside of me While I cannot touch you Your eyes burn into mine And I feel you walk with me Dreaming I close my eyes Hoping you will be there Sinking deep I’ll be right there Tangled in this dream we share Repeat chorus. I know you had to go But here you are with me Knowing I am not Ready to let you go

Where the Sky Meets the Sea 05:22
lyrics
buy track
I’m getting away from a life insane Packed my bags with a bottle of champagne It’ll be nice to get a break From the nor-malcies of the day Out in the darkness when the moon shines The wind and the ripples rise My senses are drinking in the sights As I taste the salty breeze at night I’m on my way to where the sky meets the sea Cuz that is where I long to be Just the sun, the moon, and me In the swell of a mystified dream I wake at daybreak to a rocking boat I thank the stars I’m still afloat Taking this journey all alone Hoping to find my way back home Repeat chorus Sailing into emptiness No rules, no ties, just loneliness Where it leads God only knows Repeat chorus Looking ahead it’ll take a life or two To find the meaning in the sea of blues The ocean is my point of view Now I know what I need to do

The Starting Line 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Nothing came to mind When you said my name In a matter of time There was a flame In the midst of the fire Was the game of dare We began to roll Like we didn’t care About anything else At all… I'm gonna take you where you've never been before I'll gonna take you high I'll gonna take you low I'll gonna take you to the other side And when we reach our destiny I'll gonna take you back to the starting line And when we reach our destiny I'll gonna take you back to the starting line Whirlwind around us As we hold each other No need to discuss I can feel you shudder We all ready know We know what we think We know how to show There is no missing link When we are together We’re one

Who Are You? Pt. 2 03:57
lyrics

You don’t know me, never seen my face Tho you talk to me in captivating ways You seem to be real, you fill up my days Oh how you move me, so far away I don’t know you; I never see your eyes I can feel you and your salivating mind I am paralyzed numbness robs me blind Oh how you me tho the sea is wide The fires burn into a storm Motions churn into the morn Wanting you, and who are you Who are you, sweet mystery? Who am I to you and me? Who will we be when we meet? Will I find you or will you find me? I don’t know you, you live in the dark I get this feeling that I’m playing a part A lonely actor with his last curtain call Oh how you move me, surrender it all Repeat chorus.

Echoes 04:03
lyrics

Hear the echoes from before Echoes from when you left Etched upon my mind I will never be rid of them Feel the echoes from before Burned upon my soul Some say it’s a sign Of the things yet to come Now I need you more But the past repeats itself We’re both as guilty as sin I want you to stay Those echoes from the past I hear them ev- ry- day They’ll forever Make me pay I am damned If you say no Because I don’t want you to go Forever… Oh Forever Hear the echoes from before Echoes from another time They remind us of the pain They know we cannot hide This time it’s for real We can’t say we didn’t try We’re both as guilty as sin I want you to stay Those echoes from the past I hear them everyday They’ll forever Make me pay

400 Lonely Roads 03:54
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been down 400 lonely roads Searching for what I want in life What is it that wanders through my mind While I breathe here alone I often wonder if I’d like it more Living my life as someone else Sometimes all this thinking doesn’t help May end up worse than before My thoughts keep on coming back to you The one I’d stand beside I look up to the sky And see the stars and moon They bring me right back to you The thoughts of you It would mean so much to me If I knew you felt the same It would help me stop the blame Of losing you so carelessly My thoughts keep on coming back to you The one I’d stand beside I look up to the sky And watch the stars and moon They bring me right back to you The thoughts of you I’ve walked down 400 lonely roads Hoped to find what I’m missing I only end up reminiscing With my closets full of ghosts I’ve been down 400 lonely roads And I’d walk down 400 more If it meant that I could be Coming home to you Chorus: The one I’d stand beside I look up to the sky And watch the stars and moon They bring me right back to you These thoughts of you These thoughts of you They bring me back to you

Ian Black hails from the western shores of the North Sea who came to America in the early 70s. A self-taught musician, Ian inspired the founding members of the band and later adopted all of them into his family. We are all hoping that he leaves us something of worth, other than the music, after he departs this world. ... more
