1. Beachcombing4:14

   Letra

   They say there's wreckage washing up All along the coast No one seems to know too much Of who got hit the most Nothing has been spoken There's not a lot to see But something has been broken That's how it feels to me We had a harmony I never meant to spoil Now it's lying in the water Like a slick of oil The tide is running out to sea Under a darkening sky The night is falling down on me And I'm thinking that I should Head on home Been gone too long Leave my roaming Beachcombing Little wild kitten out hunting To see what he can get You're in a big city now Won't stop growing yet The sun is going down smoking A flaming testament Something has been broken And it feels permanent Little seabird flying He knows where he wants to go Guess I ought to pack my stuff And do the thing I know I turn around and head on back Along the old sea wall I felt something give and crack And now I'm sorry that's all Head on home Been gone too long Leave my roaming Beachcombing
2. I Dug Up A Diamond3:38

   Letra

   I dug up a diamond Rare and fine I dug up a diamond In a deep dark mine If only I could cling to My beautiful find I dug up a diamond In a deep dark mine My gem is special Beyond all worth As strong as any metal Or stone in the earth Sharp as any razor Or blade you can buy Bright as any laser Or any star in the sky Maybe once in a lifetime You'll hold one in your hand Once in a lifetime In this land Where the journey ends In a worthless claim Time and again In the mining game I dug up a diamond Rare and fine I dug up a diamond In a deep dark mine Down in the darkness In the dirt and the grime I dug up a diamond In a deep dark mine
3. This Is Us4:39

   Letra

   This is us down at the Mardi Gras This is us In your Daddy's Car You and the missing link Yeah, I'd had a little too much to drink, now Too long in the sun Having too much fun You and me and our memories This is us Rocking at the barbecue Yeah, when we said I do Hand jiving on the Ballroom floor You in that wedding coat you wore And you in that amazing dress I was stoned on love I guess You and me we were meant to be This is us This is us on our Honeymoon In our hotel room Sitting by the wishing well Checking out of the love motel Making plans for the sunshine state Waiting at the terminal gate You and me making history This is us And our baby boy With our pride and joy You at the Sunday Game Standing next to What's hisname? On our Anniversary With the family You and me and our memories This is us

7. Right Now3:33

   Letra

   Miles between us here we are Sat by side a stranded car Right now, baby right now And it's too dark to see Anyhow so where are we Right now, baby, right now You could say we've both come down To a place called lonesome town When did you loose a hold on me Anyhow and where are we Right now, oh, baby right now We stood up and said 'i do' Vowed to see each other through Right now, baby right now I'm looking down this road tonight And I don't see a light Right now, baby right now If we're so clever tell me how Were waiting for the wrecker now Let's forget what used to be Anyhow and where are we Right now, oh baby right now
8. Donkey Town5:42

   Letra

   I've been around in Donkeytown Too long baby too long Checking out of Donkeytown So long, so long, so long Her pretty eyes are pretty still But Jim's got a kind of a squint Yeah I dug up my last check from out of the mine Now I feel like I've done my stint Jim got an army pension When he walked from the military corps No body ever mentioned The medical report She does little things for me She likes to get the both of us high. Yeah She says I'm a tender-hearted man Prince charming, yeah, sure, I'm the guy He likes the wrecker's dogs on chains And the smoke from the company fires Diesel oil in the trucks and cranes And the smell of burning tires But I've been around in Donkeytown Too long, baby, too long Checking out of Donkeytown So long, so long, so long There's a purple heart in a silver tin And a grey. 45 in a drawer. Yeah Most of the time you can drink with him But some other time he's just sore On days when she says she can't think straight Or she feels like she's getting the jumps She'll go shoot off her. 38 At cans on a Donkeytown dump It was Friday late and she crossed those legs She told me flat out she would. Yeah If I could pull up my trailer pegs We could get away together for good I sure wish her the best of luck She's going to need it thinking of Jim I don't like to leave her stuck But she's near as bad as him But I've been around in Donkeytown Too long baby too long Checking out of Donkeytown So long, so long, so long Checking out of Donkeytown So long, so long, so long
9. Belle Star3:06
10. Beyond My Wildest Dreams4:25

    Letra

    I didn't ask for much As maybe I ought've But I'm staying in touch With the one I love And I can see in the dials And in these headlights beams Beyond my wildest Beyond my wildest dreams Beyond my wildest dreams Beyond my wildest dreams I've been with you I've been with you These are the big payloads Hammer down on the floor These are the restless roads Every one a war But in the flashing lines I see a love supreme Beyond my wildest Beyond my wildest dreams Beyond my wildest dreams Beyond my wildest dreams I've been with you I've been with you They promised me some good home time And some layover pay The agent he's a friend of mine Says it's due my way I'd drive a thousand miles Haul a trailer of tears Just to see you smile And as the dawn appears At the edge of the night There's still a light that gleams Beyond my wildest Beyond my wildest dreams Beyond my wildest dreams Beyond my wildest dreams I've been with you I've been with you
11. All the Roadrunning4:49

    Letra

    A million miles our vagabond wheels Clocked up beneath the clouds They're counting down to show time When we do it for real with the crowds Air miles are owing but they don't come for free And they don't give you any for pain But if it's all for nothing All the road running has been in vain The rim shots come down like cannon fire And thunder off the wall There's a man in every corner And each one is giving his all But this is my piper, this is my drum So you never will hear me complain And if it's all for nothing All the road running has been in vain All the road running All the road running Well if you're inclined to go up on the wall It can only be fast and high And those who don't like the danger soon Find something different to try And when there is only a ring in your ears And an echo down memory lane Then if it's all for nothing All the road running has been in vain All the road running All the road running The show's packing up, I sit and I watch The carnival leaving town There's no pretending that I'm not a fool For riding around and around Like the pictures you keep of your old wall of death You showed me one time on the plane But if it's all for nothing All the road running, it's been in vain I've a million miles of vagabond sky Clocked up above the clouds And I'm still your man for the roaming For as long as there's roaming allowed There'll be a rider and there'll be a wall As long as the dream remains And if it's all for nothing All the road running it's been in vain All the road running All the road running
12. If This is Goodbye4:44

    Letra

    My famous last words Are laying around in tatters Sounding absurd Whatever I try But I love you And that's all that really matters If this is good bye If this is good bye Your bright shining sun Would light up the way before me You were the one Made me feel I could fly And I love you Whatever is waiting for me If this is good bye If this is good bye Who knows how long we've got Or what were made out of Who knows if there's a plan or not There is our love I know there is our love My famous last words Could never tell the story Spinning unheard In the dark of the sky But I love you And this is our glory If this is good bye If this is good bye
