v1:
No one needs another song about the river
A bunch of words about the blue sky
And drinking wine at 3am
-----
We're all tired of all the songs that mention sunshine
Playing frisbee on the beach
I know I'm right, but then again...
ch:
We can always be reminded of the things that make life work
So easy to be grateful, sometimes we won't
So many hidden treasures
No such thing as guilty pleasures
You either like it or you don't
v2:
Playing songs on the stage or on the back porch
Even when we move it online
A good investment of your time
-----
There's no shame in feeling joy for just the small things
Like the way the water moves
I could be wrong, but I don't mind
ch:
We can always be reminded of the things that make life work
So easy to be grateful, sometimes we won't
So many hidden treasures
No such thing as guilty pleasures
You either like it or you don't
-- solo stuff --
ch:
We can always be reminded of the things that make life work
So easy to be grateful, sometimes we won't
So many hidden treasures
No such thing as guilty pleasures
You either like it or you don't
v1.5:
No one needs another song about the river
A bunch of words about the blue sky
And drinking wine at 3am

v1:
When all you've got is some water & some wood
If you do it right, it ought to be enough to do some good
pre:
Holding on 'til it's gone
It won't be long
ch:
I always had a hard time letting go
Did we leave it all behind, we may never know
I never had it in my mind to go solo
So in the meantime, I'm waiting on the band to show
v2:
Before we realize, the music starts to fade
And all the stars align to rearrange the plans we might have made
pre:
Holding on 'til it's gone
It won't be long
ch:
I always had a hard time letting go
Did we leave it all behind, we may never know
I never had it in my mind to go solo
So in the meantime, I'm waiting on the band to show
- some sort of solo -
ch:
I always had a hard time letting go
Did we leave it all behind, we may never know
I never had it in my mind to go solo
So in the meantime, I'm waiting on the band to show

Low Country Friends

v1:
They say you don't need music on the beach,
but I can't see how it hurts
I wanted to try the surfboard one more time,
but someone got there first
-----
And all the days, then nights, then mornings become a beautiful blur
We got nothing to prove, but nothing to lose
Yeah, that's how this thing works
ch:
It's not the Litchfield sand
No, that ain't the draw
It's just like any other beach down here
I reckon that's all
It's not the Black River tide
But that's the background, of course
For the 2am wine club on Billy's back porch
-----
And if you're wondering what keeps bringing us back again
It's the promise of rock & roll
and low country friends
v2:
If I'm honest, I love loading up the van
and pointing it straight south
200 miles of thin white dashes
through every small Carolina town
-----
And we know for a fact the Emergency Room is dependable & true
We might fall down, but we'll try again
That ain't nothing new
ch:
It's not the Litchfield sand
No, that ain't the draw
It's just like any other beach down here
I reckon that's all
It's not the Black River tide
But that's the background, of course
For the 2am wine club on Billy's back porch
-----
And if you're wondering what keeps bringing us back again
It's the promise of rock & roll
and low country friends
- solo -
And all the days, then nights, then mornings become a beautiful blur
We got nothing to prove, but nothing to lose
Yeah, that's how this thing works
ch:
It's not the Litchfield sand
No, that ain't the draw
It's just like any other beach down here
I reckon that's all
It's not the Black River tide
But that's the background, of course
For the 3am wine club on Billy's back porch
-----
And if you're wondering what keeps bringing us back again
You are just who you are, no need to pretend
It's the promise of rock & roll
and low country friends

Against the Wall

v1:
Never should have started
Never should have rolled up my sleeves
Now I’m on the floor, I don’t know what to believe
It took me 4 long hours ‘til I was back on my feet
ch:
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my demons
They said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
Now your back’s up against, your back’s up against the wall”
v2:
Livin’ should be easy, you only gotta stay alive
We do our best to end it, it happens all the time
I’m going to finish this verse, it doesn’t even have to rhyme
ch:
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my demons
They said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
Now your back’s up against, your back’s up against the wall”
- harmonica -
br:
Ain't it funny when our bodies hit the ground
Nobody's laughing, and you're the only one who ever heard the sound
ch:
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my demons
They said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
Now your back’s up against, your back’s up against the wall”
ch:
Never thought I’d fall to pieces
Never thought that I would fall at all
Now I’m staring face to face with my Jesus
He said, “you’ve screwed up good this time
If it happens again, just give me a call”

v1:
Look around you, all you see is sunshine
Sunshine & tears
Walk around the world to see what you find
Throughout the years
ch:
When the beat drops, when the beat drops on black river
I pray, my Lord, this sound to deliver me home
v2:
When the tide is rolling in, you're rolling out
To greet the day
Shut out the lights and try to think about
A better way
ch:
When the beat drops, when the beat drops on Black River
I pray, my Lord, this sound to deliver me home
When the heat drops, when the heat drops on Black River
I pray, my Lord, I pray to shake & shiver
v3:
See the night is closing in on you, my friend
So take a bow
All the things you used to know, you let 'em go
An illusion to you now
ch:
When the beat drops, when the beat drops on Black River
I pray, my Lord, this sound to deliver me home
When the heat drops, when the heat drops on Black River
I pray, my Lord, I pray to shake & shiver
tag:
When the beat drops, when the beat drops on Black River
When the beat drops, when the beat drops on Black River
