VS1
Lets gather round that burning wood...and smell the mud upon the shoes
on the steep banks of the Mon River and sing them paddleboat blues
I got my harp in my hand.. where my hope lives...in my chest...behind my heart
acoustic anthems dance with stars...on country roads...with horse drawn carts
Chorus-
i say ...hey.....I don't care that youre gone.... I never knew we wouldnt atone
VS2
lets do up the town...like we should and do our part
down at the lake we both shiver...i brought my lover and chased her heart
i got my head in my hands where my thoughts live...where my brain fights my heart
acoustic anthems dance with stars...on country roads...with horse drawn carts
Chorus 2

Lets gather round that burning wood...and smell the mud upon the shoes

Price Of Your Toll- RIE 7.9.14
In Open G- VS’s are in G (A7 form to G chord)
Chorus is A A# G
dont even know whats right or what’s real
if you add all the years you start seeing cracks in the seal
but the look in your eyes- don’t say wrong
so you do your sidestep- and walk along
ya got your shield up like tough boards on a barn
walking through life leaving hearts ragged and torn
maybe one day you’ll take a look behind
and keep tough in your pocket and dole out a little kind
(Chorus A A# G)
yea the price of your toll this time cost you one (2xs)
one step in your woods felt like ten
got called home for dinner not knowing when
I got sore legs climbing north to south
i thought i finished up strong but you put cotton in my mouth
ya got your shield up like tough boards on a barn
hiding your nest with a magpie spinning yarn
maybe one day you’ll take a look behind
and keep me in your pocket and call it one of a kind
(Chorus repeat 4x’s)

Waive It

I know it may seem a little rude now-
i’ve never been the kinda guy that waits -
So if your momma’s waits up late- -
i’ll take you home just another day
We’re goin down to the apple orchard-
catching something rotten in the core
if you're staying after I leave here
won’t you dust up my wooden floors
so waive it, waive it, waive it....right down the middle (4x’s)
(mini solo)
since yer into a little bit of romance
i’ll pick you up around 9 o’clock
yer sister’s sad cos your leaving
and your Momma seems solid as a rock
ain’t a person that you're really fooling
she knows i’ve been coming around
and yer Daddy I can tell he ain’t happy
cos he’s wearing that bearded frown
(chorus)
(solo) (bridge)
