Will you love me when I'm at your door?
Will you turn me out or give me more?
Roll me mama, roll me like only you can, and you can
Roll me mama, roll me like only you can, yes and you can
Oh, shake it
Will you teach me of the light you've found?
Will you lift my heart up off the ground?
Roll me mama, roll me like only you can, and you can
Roll me mama, roll me like only you can, yes and you can
Oh, shake it
Am I to believe that all I see and feel
I'm really only dreaming?
I don't want a shadow life, I want the clouds
The sea, the sky, the real things
Roll me mama, roll me like only you can, and you can
Roll me mama, roll me like only you can, and you can
Oh, shake it, shake it, shake it

I Was Born To Love You
You give me a sign, you give me a lift
Take me home when I'm done my shift
You get me alone when I'm stone cold broke
Get me high when I need a toke
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love
I was born to
Times were tough, we made it through
We tasted the rough, so let's savor the smooth
All the time I was hurting you
Got to believe that I was hurting, too
I was born to love
I was born to
Born to love
I was born to
You're the only one I can talk to
The only one I can really read
I know you give because you want to
Don't you think it's time you learn to let yourself receive?
Could make you smile, could make you sing
Just want to give back a little bit of what you give me
I could sing you a song, play you a tune
I know it's just a little thing, but it's something I can do
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love you
I was born to love you
Take me home when I'm done my shift
You get me alone when I'm stone cold broke
Get me high when I need a toke
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love
I was born to
Times were tough, we made it through
We tasted the rough, so let's savor the smooth
All the time I was hurting you
Got to believe that I was hurting, too
I was born to love
I was born to
Born to love
I was born to
You're the only one I can talk to
The only one I can really read
I know you give because you want to
Don't you think it's time you learn to let yourself receive?
Could make you smile, could make you sing
Just want to give back a little bit of what you give me
I could sing you a song, play you a tune
I know it's just a little thing, but it's something I can do
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love
I was born to
I was born to love you
I was born to love you

Strong Enough
I was raised up by my mamma alone
Worked herself into the grave
Trying to make us a home
She never left South Carolina
(No na)
Our old man didn't stick around to see me grown
He was long gone 'fore the coffee got cold
Wouldn't even know where to find him
Woah
Wasn't strong enough
Woah
He wasn't strong enough
Alright, alright, alright, alright
I left home with nothing but a dream I had
All I own I could roll up in a paper bag
Getting out of South Carolina
Alright
I've been told there's gold in this land
All I know is what I hold in my own two hands
If it's out there I'm gonna find it
Oh, am I strong enough?
Oh, am I strong enough?
Everywhere you turn there's another man slammin' doors
Looking at you like he wouldn't even let you sweep his floors
I was raised up by my mamma on her own
Worked herself into the grave
Trying to make us a home
Never left South Carolina
I left home with nothing but a dream I had
All I own I could hold in a paper bag
Getting out of South Carolina
Oh, am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me am I strong enough?
Oh, am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
Am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me
Am I strong enough?
Oh, got to tell me
Am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me
Am I strong enough?
Worked herself into the grave
Trying to make us a home
She never left South Carolina
(No na)
Our old man didn't stick around to see me grown
He was long gone 'fore the coffee got cold
Wouldn't even know where to find him
Woah
Wasn't strong enough
Woah
He wasn't strong enough
Alright, alright, alright, alright
I left home with nothing but a dream I had
All I own I could roll up in a paper bag
Getting out of South Carolina
Alright
I've been told there's gold in this land
All I know is what I hold in my own two hands
If it's out there I'm gonna find it

Am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me
Am I strong enough?
Oh, got to tell me
Am I strong enough?
Oh, tell me
Am I strong enough?

Summer Clouds
Sunday, in the afternoon
I'll stay if you want me to
Hours roll like summer clouds
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
I see sparrow fly
I see starlight in your eyes
Hours roll like summer clouds
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
Will all of my words lie still as lifeless birds
Tied to Earth in tangled lines?
A soul inside you burns
The wheel, it ever turns
What is life but learning, learning how to cry?
My love, my evening star
My heart is where you are
Hours roll like summer clouds
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
I'll stay if you want me to
Hours roll like summer clouds
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
I see sparrow fly
I see starlight in your eyes
Hours roll like summer clouds
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
Will all of my words lie still as lifeless birds
Tied to Earth in tangled lines?
A soul inside you burns
The wheel, it ever turns
What is life but learning, learning how to cry?
My love, my evening star
My heart is where you are
Hours roll like summer clouds
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow
And summer clouds don't worry
About tomorrow

Well Make It Through
Had our share of the pain
Of the clouds, and the rain
Lean on me, and I'll lean on you
And together, we'll get through
We always do
We always do
Hello, you're scared 'cause you can't see the light
You toss and turn through the night
Holdin' me, and I'm holdin' you
And together, we'll get through
We always do
We always do
We always do
Where do you go, when there's no road to follow?
Faces look hollow, only strangers to you, now
Where do you turn, when this livin' starts to burn through
Layers that you learned wrap around your heart somehow
I turn to you
I always do
I always do
I turn to you
Hello, you're scared, can't see the light
Gotta believe it's gonna be alright
Lean on me, and I'll lean on you
And together, we'll get through
We always do
We always do
We always do
We always do
We'll make it through
We always do
We always do
Of the clouds, and the rain
Lean on me, and I'll lean on you
And together, we'll get through
We always do
We always do
Hello, you're scared 'cause you can't see the light
You toss and turn through the night
Holdin' me, and I'm holdin' you
And together, we'll get through
We always do
We always do
We always do
Where do you go, when there's no road to follow?
Faces look hollow, only strangers to you, now
Where do you turn, when this livin' starts to burn through
Layers that you learned wrap around your heart somehow
I turn to you
I always do
I always do
I turn to you
Hello, you're scared, can't see the light
Gotta believe it's gonna be alright
Lean on me, and I'll lean on you
And together, we'll get through

We'll make it through
We always do

Misty Morning Rain
Standing in your doorway
Cast a shadow on the wall
I can hear a kestrel call
Sunlight laughing
Laughing through the windowpane
All is here is gone again
Misty morning, misty morning, misty morning rain
All is gone, then here, then gone, then here, then gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Child of the mountains
Swear I felt it from the first
Smiling eyes
Quenched my thirst
Heal all my ancient hurt
Every kindness that you show
Deeper than these roots will grow
It's a misty morning, misty morning, misty morning rain
All is gone, then here, then gone, then here, then gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Where once the wind was at my back
Now the sea's gone slack
No seabird squealing
Has all of life gone off the rails
Torn my sails and left me drifting
Drifting
No love left to lift him up
No love
No love left to lift him
No love
Signs of the ages
Echo through the falling rain
All is here and gone again
Moonlight so right
Softening upon the shore
All that was will be no more
It's a misty morning, misty morning, misty morning rain
All is gone, then here, then gone, then here, then gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Where once the wind was at my back
Now the seas gone slack no seabird squealing
Has all of life gone off the rails
Torn my sails and left me drifting
Drifting
No love left to lift him
With no love
With no love
It's a misty morning, misty morning, misty morning rain
All is gone, then here, then gone, then here, then gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Cast a shadow on the wall
I can hear a kestrel call
Sunlight laughing
Laughing through the windowpane
All is here is gone again
Misty morning, misty morning, misty morning rain
All is gone, then here, then gone, then here, then gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Child of the mountains
Swear I felt it from the first
Smiling eyes
Quenched my thirst
Heal all my ancient hurt
Every kindness that you show
Deeper than these roots will grow
It's a misty morning, misty morning, misty morning rain
All is gone, then here, then gone, then here, then gone again
Here and gone again
Here and gone again
Where once the wind was at my back
Now the sea's gone slack
No seabird squealing
Has all of life gone off the rails
Torn my sails and left me drifting
Drifting
No love left to lift him up
No love
No love left to lift him
No love
Signs of the ages
Echo through the falling rain
All is here and gone again

Rocky Mountain Healin
Colorado Rocky mountain morn
Flatirons flashing in the sun, feeling what you've found
To wonder why there ain't more people crying
Seeing miles and miles of lodgepole pine lying on the ground
Oh, I
I do believe I will
It's been so long and I really miss that feeling
Oh, I
I do believe I will
Get myself back Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
Following the red lights on the freeway
I've been running all my life, never slowing down
All I've got to show for all the miles I put away
Are the dreams of what I could've done if I'd only stayed
Oh, I
I do believe I will
It's been so long, and I really miss that feeling
Oh, I
I do believe I will
Get myself back to Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
A man can get lost
In what might've been
Up here in the mountains
Can be born again
Oh, I
I do believe I will
It's been so long, and I really miss that feeling
Oh, I
I do believe I will
Get myself back to Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
Get myself back to Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
Flatirons flashing in the sun, feeling what you've found
To wonder why there ain't more people crying
Seeing miles and miles of lodgepole pine lying on the ground
Oh, I
I do believe I will
It's been so long and I really miss that feeling
Oh, I
I do believe I will
Get myself back Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
Following the red lights on the freeway
I've been running all my life, never slowing down
All I've got to show for all the miles I put away
Are the dreams of what I could've done if I'd only stayed
Oh, I
I do believe I will
It's been so long, and I really miss that feeling
Oh, I
I do believe I will
Get myself back to Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
A man can get lost
In what might've been
Up here in the mountains
Can be born again
Oh, I
I do believe I will
It's been so long, and I really miss that feeling
Oh, I
I do believe I will
Get myself back to Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'
Get myself back to Colorado
For the Rocky Mountain healin'

Morning Comes Wearing Diamonds
Morning comes wearing diamonds
Where she is, the sun is shining
Throwing gold through the windows to the floor
Hear a bird singing a song I never heard before
Morning comes wearing diamonds
Morning comes wearing diamonds
There she is, her eyes are smiling
Throwing gold through the windows to the floor
Hear a bird singing a song I never heard before
Colored leaves blowing in through the kitchen door
I just don't give a damn anymore
About winning or taking sides
Trying to change your mind
I just don't give a damn anymore
'Cause I got love in my heart today
I got love that ain't gonna change
I got love that won't fade away
Morning comes wearing diamonds
Where she is, the sun is shining
Throwing gold through the windows to the floor
Hear a bird singing a song I never heard before
Colored leaves blowing in through the kitchen door
I just don't give a damn anymore
About winning or taking sides
Trying to change your mind
I just don't give a damn anymore
'Cause we got love in our hearts today
We got love that ain't gonna change
We got love, and it won't fade away
Where she is, the sun is shining
Throwing gold through the windows to the floor
Hear a bird singing a song I never heard before
Morning comes wearing diamonds
Morning comes wearing diamonds
There she is, her eyes are smiling
Throwing gold through the windows to the floor
Hear a bird singing a song I never heard before
Colored leaves blowing in through the kitchen door
I just don't give a damn anymore
About winning or taking sides
Trying to change your mind
I just don't give a damn anymore
'Cause I got love in my heart today
I got love that ain't gonna change
I got love that won't fade away
Morning comes wearing diamonds

Throwing gold through the windows to the floor
Hear a bird singing a song I never heard before

We got love that ain't gonna change
We got love, and it won't fade away

Highway to the Sun
Lately it's the mornings when I miss her most of all
I miss her laughter, so long after that laughter's gone
There's no comfort in these tears that I cry
Wish I could find just one person to tell me why
I just want to wake up underneath that open sky
Just want to feel something real before I die
Lately it's the evenings when I really feel the years
All my sorrows, all my joys, all my fears
I hear children singing songs, playing games
They don't know that growing up is learning pain
I just want to wake up underneath that open sky
Just want to feel something real before I die
I don't know where I'm going
I've got miles and miles yet to run
Won't you follow me on the highway to the Sun?
Won't you follow me on the highway to the Sun?
I miss her laughter, so long after that laughter's gone
There's no comfort in these tears that I cry
Wish I could find just one person to tell me why
I just want to wake up underneath that open sky
Just want to feel something real before I die
Lately it's the evenings when I really feel the years
All my sorrows, all my joys, all my fears
I hear children singing songs, playing games
They don't know that growing up is learning pain
I just want to wake up underneath that open sky
Just want to feel something real before I die
I don't know where I'm going
I've got miles and miles yet to run
Won't you follow me on the highway to the Sun?
Won't you follow me on the highway to the Sun?
