KING OF THE DRIFTERS
Written by: Shane Bridges copyright© 2001 riverbridge publishing

Tryin' to find a gap to fit in
Tryin' to find a town to live in
Tryin' to keep myself from slippin' from the rope I've been gripping forever
Weightless like a feather floating through September
Idled to a whisper and tossed in a twister
As I rest myself on another city street

Chorus: I've been crowned king of the drifters

The hours of the night grow darker as the town lights show
The moodswing halos are playing a favorite for the old man hangin' at the bar
It's a clear voice that's driving me on so far
Wonderin' with angels feels a lot safer as I rest myself on another city street

Chorus: I've been crowned king of the drifters

Bridge: Well I've crowned myself the king of the drifter, of the drifters I've crowned myself the king as I rest myself on another city street.

Chorus: I've been crowned king of the drifters
BEAUTIFUL WORLD
Written by: Shane Bridges copyright© 2001 Riverbridge Publishing

Baby don't you hang your head down low
We'll talk it over and then let it go
I'll be there by your side
Baby don't you hang your head down low

The moon is hangin' full in a stary sky
Through you window I can see it's light
As I watch your angels fly
The moon is hangin' full in a stary sky

Chorus: It's a beautiful world when It's only you and me
Everything just disappears
It's a beautiful world when I hold you close to me
Don't ever take your love away, from me

Ever since you came into my view
My world stopped turning blue
Now I'm lost inside of you
Ever since you came into my view

Chorus: It's a beautiful world when It's only you and me
Everything just disappears
It's a beautiful world when I hold you close to me
Don't ever take your love away, from me
SOMETHING IN-BETWEEN
Written by: Shane Bridges copyright© 2000. Riverbridge Publishing.

Dressed in a disguise, and hard to recognize.
An obvious distraction, she captures every eye.
She hides behind the sun and waits for night to come.
That's when she creeps in like a summers storm.

Chorus:
She's something In between, She's something In Between,
She's something In between an angle and the devils queen.

A revolution turns, as she watches disconcerned.
Suspended on emotions, her potions are her works of charm.

Chorus:
She's something In between, She's something In Between,
She's something In between an angle and the devils queen.

Bridge: I believe she was a dream and nothing less than what she seems.

Chorus:
She's something In between, She's something In Between,
She's something In between an angle and the devils queen.
RETURN TO ME
Written By: Shane Bridges copyright2001 riverbridge publishing

How many times do I have to say to you
That you're the only one that I'll ever want
And how many times do I have to dream of you
Before you come back to me, back where you should be.

Chorus: Baby what are you waiting on
Why did you take so long
All this time I've waited alone for you to come home
Baby what are you waiting on
Why did you take so long
All this time I've waited alone for you to come home and return to me

The days won't end and the nights are black and blue
And to hear your voice it's just not enough
So call me crazy, call me whatever you will
But when you're not here I just don't exist

Chorus: Baby what are you waiting on
Why did you take so long
All this time I've waited alone for you to come home
Baby what are you waiting on
Why did you take so long
All this time I've waited alone for you to come home and return to me

Bridge: When you come back to me everything will be alright
All the bells will be ringin' when you say that you'll be mine til' the end of time

Chorus: Baby what are you waiting on
Why did you take so long
All this time I've waited alone for you to come home
Baby what are you waiting on
Why did you take so long
All this time I've waited alone for you to come home and return to me
CHAOS
Written by Shane Bridges copyright© 2000. River bridge Publishing

Chaos on the brink.
When you losing everything.
All the waterways will take you far beyond what you have seen.
Put yourself on a map.
Grace the highway with your tracks.
Make the best of any situation.
You put in what you get out.

Chorus:
It all comes back, It all comes back, It all comes back, It all comes back.
Just when you thought you've seen the last of the good life.

Chaos on the brink.
In a horse desperate town.
That's been visited by a villain disguised a politician shaking every hand around.
The news headlines read,
He made off with the town blood red.
They found him at the boarder do as to one another,
they hung his head on the courthouse square.

Chorus:
It all comes back, it all comes back, it all comes back, and it all comes back.
Just when you thought you've seen the last of the good life.
MISFORTUNE
Written by: Shane Bridges Copyright© 2000 Riverbridge Publishing.

What am I suppose to do, to get myself over you?
I've tried my best to give it a rest, but I can't seem to take my mind off you.

Chorus:
It's a misfortune that I can't lay with you tonight.
It's the hardest thing I've ever come to realize.
It's such a misfortune that I can't make you change your mind and run to me.

Broken wings have grounded you. It never turns out like you wanted it to.
Cause sometime the truth doesn't make it easy when you're trying to choose.

Chorus:
It's a misfortune that I can't lay with you tonight.
It's the hardest thing I've ever come to realize.
It's such a misfortune that I can't make you change your mind and run to me.

Bridge: Are you running in the distance, are you running to me?

Chorus:
It's a misfortune that I can't lay with you tonight.
It's the hardest thing I've ever come to realize.
It's such a misfortune that I can't make you change your mind and run to me.
REFUGEE
Written by: Shane Bridges copyright© 2000. Riverbridge Pub.

It's gonna take a lot, maybe more than you've got to get yourself out of this trial.
Cause you want to be, close to the, on that you let get away. Yea slip right from your hands.

So you gather the clues, all that you could use, filled your bags and left to persue.
On an open road is a town that holds the one that you let get away. Yea slip right from your hands.

Chorus: The refugee is on the loose and running away.
The refugee is on the loose and running away from you.

Racing the clock, now you're all used up. You spend your time looking for a second try.
The wind has died under stary skys lies the one that you let get away. Yea slip right from your hands.

So you fumble the news, as the words ring true like a thousand echoes
screaming at you cause you'll never be close to the one that you let get away.
You let them slip right from your hands.

Chorus: The refugee is on the loose and running away.
The refugee is on the loose and running away from you.

Bridge: She runs, run, run, run, runs away
She runs, run, run, run, runs away. She's running away from you.

It's gonna take a lot maybe more that you've got to get yourself out of this trial.
Cause you want to be close to the one that you let get away.
BETTER THAN THIS
Written by Shane Bridges/Andy Hearon copyright© 1999 riverbridge publishing

You take me out of the blues yes it's true
Bring a color to an empty room
I'll go anywhere you want me to
Just say the word and we'll be out of here soon

I'm feeling dangerous, but I'm in control of how far I'll go
It's certainly capable of getting out of hand and then you lead me back where I belong

Chorus: It doesn't get better than this
Can it get any better than this and if it gets better than this
I don't want to know

Let's go for a walk at a red scene sunset
Maybe we'll talk with out saying a thing
I don't have to wonder what's in your head
I won't forget how far we've been

Chorus: It doesn't get better than this
Can it get any better than this and if it gets better than this
I don't want to know


Bridge: It's really no surprise I see it all the time
She can take a storm cloud and turn it around

Chorus: It doesn't get better than this
Can it get any better than this and if it gets better than this
I don't want to know
LOST AND FOUND
Written by Shane Bridges copyright© 1999 Riverbridge Inc.

She's taken it upon herself to be there even when she's not so eager
It takes one to love two to touch and there's not enough
Not enough love she said

I should forget about it, there's always something in the way
I should forget about it, there's always something in the way

Chorus:

Save yourself before you drown
Hearts get lost and hearts are found
Save yourself hold your ground
Hearts get lost and hearts are found


It's never gonna be the same
And he tried everything 'till the end
It just wouldn't please her
There's another side to the point
You cut your life short
Hangin' on to love that's died

I should forget about it, there's always something in the way
I should forget about it, there's always something in the way

Chorus:

Save yourself before you drown
Hearts get lost and hearts are found
Save yourself hold your ground
Hearts get lost and hearts are found

Bridge

You broke the spell
You turned the invitation down
You look forward to the day when you don't have to answer to everything

Chorus:

Save yourself before you drown
Hearts get lost and hearts are found
Save yourself hold your ground
Hearts get lost and hearts are found
LEAVE ME OUT
Written by Shane Bridges copyright© 2001 Riverbridge Inc.

You're wearin' your smile and often for a while
With your favorite dress that your mothers' mother made
I've watched all the flowers in your garden grow
You're every in the sunshine and every thought that comes to mind
I wished you never learned to wave goodbye

Chorus:

Don't you leave me out
Don't you leave me out
Don't you leave me out
On my own

Your fortunate traits are keeping me awake
I have a smoke and take a walk in the middle of the night
I hope you're sleepy dreaming tonight

Like a song that never fades or a photograph that your mothers' mother saved
Takes you far away in another place and time
Chorus:

Don't you leave me out
Don't you leave me out
Don't you leave me out
On my own
LIVE AND LEARN
Written by Shane Bridges Copyright© 2001 Riberbridge

Why go on why go searchin'
When every step you take seems in the wrong direction
Contradictions to your decisions
Progress set in motion
Begins with an accord

Chorus:

Achievements sweeter with the taste of a struggle
One man cringes at another man's comfort
And when your battles won
And your burdens conquered
You live and learn


Time is chasin the hands keep turnin'
And with your face to the wind it almost pulls you under
So take a hold on to the surface
Don't let them get you
Don't let them bring you down

Chorus

Achievements sweeter with the taste of a struggle
One man cringes at another man's comfort
And when your battles won
And your burdens conquered
You live and learn

Bridge

Sometimes it seems you're losing ground
You fall out of reason
Then the quest you're seeking takes a turn around
Now you're back on believin'
This is life and how we live it

Chorus:

Achievements sweeter with the taste of a struggle
One man cringes at another man's comfort
And when your battles won
And your burdens conquered
You live and learn
