Cast a Line
Writers: Christian Parker © BMI. Peter Pendras © Toolbox Music BMI
White light of a distant sun
On a bluebird day
Down below and up above
Nothing seems the same
Here we are caught in between
Darkness and the dawn
No matter where we go
Keep movin’ on
Cast a line
When a star falls from the sky
Know the reason why it’s falling
We traveled side by side
Shoulder to the wheel
Turn the labor into love
On a fertile field
Seasons come and seasons go
Moons wax and wane
Up above and down below
Some things never change
Cast a line
When a star falls in the sky
Know the reason why it’s falling
Cast a line
When a star falls in the sky
There’s no need to cry
‘Cause it’s falling
Faded Memories
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
There’s a faded spot on the wall, where a picture once fell
and time stood still on a photo reel
There’s an old trunk on the floor, and memories framed
these pictures of you are all that remain
The seasons may change, and the house re-arrange
and nothing rings true
except for memories of me and you
There’s an old clock in the hall that’s made not a sound
its hands do not move when you’re not around
There’s a small crack on the door, where light would shine thru
the children would play and sing with you
The seasons may change, and the house re-arrange
and nothing rings true
except for memories of me and you
Time lingers on and brushes a hue
A fresh coat of paint will never do
The seasons may change, and the house re-arrange
and nothing rings true
except for memories of me and you
Tulsa County
Writer: Pamela Polland. Universal Music Publishing Group
My nights have been lonely
Since I’ve been in Tulsa County
And I really don’t know what I’m goin’ to do
I just might take a trip somewhere
Along the southern border
‘Cause I know I’ve gotta get away from you
I don’t know
Just where I’ll go
I believe I’ll ride it down to Mexico
Down to Mexico
Got your note in Charleston
Said “You needed my assistance”
But when I got there
You didn’t need me then
I may not be a wise man
But I know this life you’re leading
You learned your tricks from lots of other men
I don’t know
Just where I’ll go
I believe I’ll ride it down to Mexico
Down to Mexico
I don’t know
Just where I’ll go
I believe I’ll ride it down to Mexico
Down to Mexico
Dark Eyed Gal
Writer: Ron Davies. Universal Music Publishing Group, Warner Chappell Music, Inc.
Well, the midnight train can come and go without me
No I don’t need no taxi back to town
I think I’ll just stay right here in this deep old light
I was supposed to meet someone here tonight
I’m sittin’ here thinking
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal
Well, I don’t mind the rain; I never even noticed
And I don’t feel the cold, it wouldn’t matter anyhow
As a matter of fact I could stay until the break of day
I don’t see as I’m in anybody’s way
I’m just sittin’ here thinkin’
Waiting on a dark eyed gal
She said she’d meet me at the station
I don’t believe she’ll keep me waiting very long
Very long
She never told me if she was coming with me
Or if she only meant to say her last farewell
Never was one to let me know her mind
So I’ll stay right here, keep doing my time
Just sitting here thinkin’
Waiting on a dark eyed gal
The midnight train has come and gone without me now
But I don’t need no taxi back to town
Matter of fact I could stay until the break of day
I don’t see as I’m in anybody’s way
Now I’m sittin’ here thinkin’
Waiting on a dark eyed gal
Yes, I’m just sitting here drinkin’
Waiting on a dark-eyed gal
Fire With Fire
Writer: Peter Pendras © Toolbox Music BMI
Been through some battles
Fought too many wars
So much blood spilling on the ground
Down on the killing floor
Now bullets are flyin’
Through the parking lot
Tell me who is the enemy
When the innocent they get shot
Try to get even
It will drive you insane
You can’t fight fire with fire
When the devil don’t feel no pain
Some say it is freedom
At a mortal price
Written by the fathers
Within some legal rights
But when the air is quiet
And the firing has ceased
Another body is on the ground
A family left to grieve
Try to get even
It will drive you insane
You can’t fire with fire
When the devil don’t feel no pain
Pray to God in heaven
Time and time again
But you can’t fight fire with fire
When the devil don’t feel no pain
No, the devil don’t feel no pain
One Life, One Love
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
Times moving fast
It never moves slow
It never grows weary
It never grows old
One life, one love
One life to love
Dreams were lost
Ones we never knew
Ones we never found
Some never came true
One life, one love
One life to love
Love never ends
It always comes through
It always protects
It always stays true
One life, one love
One life, one love
Every Passing Mile
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
There’s always something, weighing on my mind
Always something can’t sanctify my time
I’ve been driving, crossed the county line
Counting wires and poles along the pine
And I see her with every passing mile
Every Passing Mile, Every Passing Mile
Every Passing Mile, Every Passing Mile
I have a picture, I carry in my bag
No, I can’t see her, her words keep coming back
You’re always hiding like a train along the track
You can’t deny it those feelings that we had
And I see her with every passing mile
Every Passing Mile, Every Passing Mile
Every Passing Mile, Every Passing Mile
Slow Life
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
There’s a girl who hides away
Spends her time lost hopelessly
The rain keeps fallin’ down I heard her say
Can we survive another day?
Life without regret you’ll see
Times running out for you and me
Life without regret you’re free
Runway Ms. make-believe
Once in a while, I feel ok
Climbing out is another thing
The world is flat it’s round somedays
Falling off is the only way
Life without regret you’ll see
Times running out for you and me
Life without regret you’re free
Runway Ms. make-believe
Last Glance
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
These shattering moments
When all remains still
Are constant reminders
Of our human will
In a fleeting desire
It’s all left to chance
From a flame to a fire
Became her last glance
We’re all given choices
We’re all given life
We’re all given love
And light
A mothers laid burden
A son’s mortal coil
Seeds once scattered
Are sown and toiled
Her tears always fall
And dry in their tracks
She’ll always remember
The very last glance
We’re all given choices
We’re all given life
We’re all given love
And light
This Time
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
Somewhere along the road, you’ll find yourself
Facedown in the dirt like somebody else
I’ve got to say, all the things that I meant to say
Somewhere far away lying in the dark
Heaven’s wide awake in a broken heart
This Time I’m going to get it right
Found my faith and seen the light
Leave all my troubles far behind
Nothing’s going to get me down
This Time
Somewhere far away in a timeless place
Waiting patiently for her warm embrace
I’ve got to say, all the things that I meant to say
This Time I’m going to get it right
Found my faith and seen the light
Leave all my troubles far behind
Nothing’s going to get me down
This Time
Ordinary Girl
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
Faith, I just can’t breathe anymore
I’ve never been here before
There’s someone knocking at my door
Ah, Faith, there’s something in the back of my head
It’s telling me it’s not over yet
Been trying not to forget
So many times, I’ve fallen from her grace
She’s an Ordinary Girl in every way
Ah, Faith
Faith, been trying to find my way back home
It makes me feel all alone
There’s light in the deep unknown
So many times, I’ve fallen from her grace
She’s an Ordinary Girl in every way
Ah, Faith
Faith, there’s something on the tip of my tongue
Ever since I was young
Been trying to find someone
So many times, I’ve fallen from her grace
She’s no Ordinary Girl in any way
Ah, Faith, Ah Faith, Ah Faith
Dream Catcher
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
If you only had one day to give
Would you know how
If you only had one life to live
Could you somehow
Know how, somehow
Dream, dream, dream
If the world were yours to give away
Would you know how
If stars were yours to light the day
Could you somehow
Know how, somehow
Dream Catcher
Sojourners Prayer
Writer: Christian Parker © BMI
Lord help me see
The dark inside of me
Release this misery
Let your light come down
Your grace is all we need
Lift our hearts and minds
Help us not be blind
Lord help us learn
The truth inside your word
Let your light come down
Your love is all we need
Help us to believe
