Sky So Big 03:34
I was born in the east And I’ll die out in the west Loving anything at all Burns a hole right through my chest Found the highway that goes all the way To Califor-ni-a Taking care of myself Getting better every day 'Cuz I’m looking at a sky so big It’s filling up the screen Driving high above the limit Where you heading to today? Say the alphabet in order "G F E D C B A" Heard your birds have all their feathers Got your ducks all in a line But you forced them into cages They will always yearn to fly 'Cuz they’re looking at a sky so big They’re writing out their wildest dreams

Something written in the sky tonight Big words, spell them right Cup of water on the open sea Sinking set me free Let strangers have their conversation I’ll just be sitting in the sun Let strangers have their conversation I’ll just be sitting in the sun

Marie 04:06
Ego took control of the plane Diving with my nose to the sea floor Just to make a couple of waves You and I are one and the same Couple of pieces cut from the same cloth Sow us back together again, Lord You’re so much stronger than me When you hold me I can’t breathe But it’s out of love I’m so into you Marie One’s a house, another’s a home No more locking doors and I’m open wide Come and visit any time You’re so much stronger than me When you hold me I can’t breathe But it’s out of love I’m so into you Marie But it’s out of love I’m so into you

Deserve You 04:18
Early on Sunday morning Woke up on the floor Stayed with you all weekend Can’t stay any more You’ve always been a good friend A blessing, no disguise Gave me the shirt right off your back Turns out it’s my size Oh, what did I do to deserve you What did I do to deserve you (x2) A couple hundred miles I don’t mind the drive Fasten up your seatbelt Let’s make it there alive Smoking some California You pour us two more drinks I’m somewhat sentimental So I can’t help but think Oh, what did I do to deserve you What did I do to deserve you (x3) Oh, what did I do
