Stronger Than Oak

caged up like an animal
though he did not deserve a day
if anything give him an award
for chasing the evil away
well his old man was no gentle soul
crimson rage hid behind a thin veil
at the flip of a switch that old sum bitch
went like a train flying off of the rail
well his dear old ma in a wheel chair
shes got a soul that is stronger than oak
30 odd years of beatings and threats
but a woman like that cant be broke
tractor wheels blazed behind him
while he ran for his life on that day
you can beat a dog only just for so long
before he'll turn around and you'll pay
behind a stare that could tear any man apart
was a father with an ice cold heart
year after year always filled with fear
a line it is drawn make a stand right here
pistl shot on a late summers day
his father fell heavy like a tree
he put the gun down and turned around
and he knew that his family was free
though the yeas of abuse were no secret
still the cops slapped him with first degree
a deal was made and he took a plea
and in four years the man would be free
behind a stare that could tear any man apart
was a father with an ice cold heart
year after year always filled with fear
a line it is drawn make a stand right here
a mother that he'd never leave
a farm he loved and still believed
in future for him and his family

Like A Hurricane

Spring turns to summer and summer to fall
but it was over so fast and I cant recall
was it you, was it me, was it just not to be
as you drive me insane I let the grass take my pain
A steel horse riding down the highway at night
your hair blowing in the wind guided by a single head light
you were lost you were gone I didn't find out till dawn
everything's born to die, my only question is why
Fall turns to winter and winter to spring
all alone now I sit with just a sad song to sing
empty arms, empty heart take me back to the start
I put junk in my veins but your memory remains
I'm not the type to give up with no fight
with all of my strength I couldn't stop you that night
was it false, was it true what you said you would do
Like a hurricane can not be contained
like a hurricane flowing through my veins
like a hurricane leaves nothing but pain

Im walking to th golden gate like we usd to do
We’d look out across the bay my arm around you
One time you told me that if I ever died
You climb out onto the edge and see if you could fly
Now im walking to the golden gate
Six months ago a drunk driver stole you from me
He had a good lawyer and he walked away free
Well I put an end to that see I just came from there
He said he was sorry but I didn’t care
Now im walkng to the golden gate
CHORUS
I love you in my memories I love you in my dreams
But that’s not enough anymore Even as real as they seem
Cant live without you no I cant survive
So im coming to you baby if I don’t fly
Now im out on the edge and the cops behind me
Begging don’t do it buddy don’t do it please
The blood on my hands is starting to dry
Now im letting go gonna see if I can fly
Now im letting go gonna see if I can fly
Now im letting go gonna see if I can fly
BRIDGE
Im on my way im gonna see you soon
We’ll be together forever like the sun and the moon
