1. AGAINST THE WIND (4:05)
( Words / music by Dave West )
There�s a lonely stretch of blacktop
Running right through this town
As another Texas sun is going down
And there�s twelve hundred miles behind me
That separate my home
Four days on the road and all alone
Chorus
It�s been too long on this highway
On a road that just don�t end
It�s an uphill climb in this cab in riding in
Don�t always know just where I�m going
But I know where I�ve been
I keep eighteen wheels a rollin� - against the wind
It�s a strange kind of freedom most don�t know
And a life that�s hard to understand
The things I do and the way I am
With the long white lines and the city limit signs
Lord knows I�ll never be alone
In three more days I�ll be home
Repeat Chorus
2. WHAT WAS I THINKING (5:00)
( Words / music by Dave West )
Call me a dreamer, thought the grass would be greener
So many nights I left you all alone
Thought that I could deceive her
Couldn�t find a girl sweeter
Always there when I�d finally get home
I took you for granted wasn�t love like you planned it
You tried to tell me just where I went wrong
You gave me all of the right signs
Guess it never crossed my mind that you�d be just fine on your own
Chorus
What was I thinkin� - I started believin� that I�d hardly miss you were gone
I thought I�d be just fine without you and I�d find someone new
I guess I found out I was wrong
Cause I still miss the way that you loved me
And that�s a feeling that still burns so strong
So what was I thinkin� when I started believin� that I�d hardly miss you were gone
The first night without you would be easy I knew
Cause I thought you�d call me by dawn
And say you�d been up all night crying
There�s just no denying that even one night without me�s too long
You�d tried not to need me, even started to leave me but each time you came back somehow
Now it�s three months, five days and nine hours without you
I should have heard something by now
Repeat Chorus
3. McKENZIE�S SONG (4:22)
( Words / music by Dave West )
Nineteen inches and eyes of blue
Born on April twenty two
At six a.m. gave my last name to you
A new beginning starts with her cry
But the tears are falling from my eyes
She couldn�t be more perfect if she tried
I can�t believe what God has given me
Forever bound together faithfully
Chorus
Reflections of the child I used to be
An innocence that now depends on me
So don�t you ever wonder how strong a
Daddy�s love can be McKenzie
I�ll be there beside you
You can always count on me
Her Daddy�s eyes and her Mama�s nose
And auburn hair turned up in bows
An angel in my heart and in my soul
A rocking chair helps her drift to sleep
She fights the tears as she looks at me
There�s no where else on earth I�d rather be
As long as there�s a breath in me I swear
Count on me anytime and anywhere
Repeat Chorus
| 4. LEARN TO LET YOU GO (3:51)
( Words / music by Dave West )
It�s amazing what you can do to me
You can�t imagine the way you make me feel
And it sure ain�t easy giving back the key to your front door
And leave me holding just your memory
And you won�t see it, these tears coming down
On a lonely flight from Dallas headin� back to our hometown
Chorus
And girl I still don�t understand it, I thought this love would never end
And now you�re talking like old lovers could learn to be good friends
Before you leave me there�s something you should know
That I�ll miss the times together
I gotta find a way to learn to let you go
Our love just slipped away but your memory came to stay
I�ll learn to love again I know it just takes time
But for now I�m lonely as I slowly lose my mind
I�m letting go a little more and more each day
You won�t see it these tears down my face
I miss everything about you
No one can take your place.
Repeat Chorus
Sometimes love gets lost and it�s never found
I liked it best, girl, when you were still around.
Repeat Chorus
5. LEAVIN LUBBOCK (3:23)
( Words / music by Dave West )
Was headin� back to Lubbock - on my way from San Antoine
Drivin� fast, it�s so damn late
this endless Lone Star Interstate
She always tried to hide it
but she hated me away
She�s waited long enough I know,
and she�s finally got the nerve to tell me
Chorus
Boy I�m leavin Lubbock that�s all she told me on the phone
Your little boys packed all his toys, we�ll both be gone before you�re home and
There�s nothing left between us, don�t want to live my life this way
and movin� on she�s got that right
She�s leavin� Lubbock Texas tonight
I should�ve seen it coming, guess it hit me by surprise
It�s hard to say when she let go - She never cared much for this rodeo
I believe I was foolish, I left her home alone too long
I swear this time I�d walk away
If I could find a way to change her mind
Repeat Chorus
6. MEET ME IN MONTANA (4:06)
( Words / music by Paul Davis )
7. MISSING YOU ( SONG FOR MAX ) (4:07)
( Words / music by Dave West )
Four in the morning I couldn�t sleep at all last night
It�s been a year since you passed on
Was thinkin� about you and all the ways you changed my life
Wish I was there when things went wrong
Chorus
Cause I got so much to tell you
Things I never got to say before you left me and spread your wings to fly
And I hear there�s angels high above us - So I know you�ll be all right
Cause Dad I�m really missing you tonight, Dad I�m really missing you tonight
You lived your life your own way - never could take my advice
Never heard a word I�d say
But you always stood beside me, gave so much in many ways
and you gave a gift I know I can�t repay
Repeat Chorus
Somewhere down the road we�ll meet again
It�s great to see a long lost friend |
