SHINE A LIGHT ON ME BROTHER
Released September 3, 2021

TRACK 1: SHINE A LIGHT ON ME BROTHER

Can you hear the words I'm sayin'?
I'm just looking to be free
So I'm asking for your attention
To see if you can help save me

Shine a light on me, brother (Woo)
There's got to be a better way
Shine a light on me, brother (Woo)
It's just me here for today
Oh you know what kind of man I've been, yeah
I been full of sin
Shine a light on me, brother
And bring me back again
Aw, yeah

All these days turn to nothin'
There is panic in the streets
All I see is a bit of tension
But all we're looking for is peace

Come away now to see my friend
He's the saint that we need today
So come around everybody and listen
To the words that he has to say
These have been the darkest times
That we've seen in our own age
All we need is to shine your light
So we can all be saved

Shine a light on me, brother
There's got to be a better way
Shine a light on me, brother (Woo)
It's just me here for today
Oh you know what kind of man I've been, yeah
I been full of sin
Shine a light on me, brother
And bring me back again

Shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light

Oh, shine a light
Shine a light
Shine a light

TRACK 2: EVERYDAY

I'm breaking my back
Chasing money again
We do what we do to get by
Can't wait till I'm gone
So I can call up my friends
And burn it like the Fourth of July

Oh, life is so much better
Just hangin' around
So we should get together
All the time
Every day

We're blowing some smoke in circles again
We do what we do to get high
So pass me a plate
And grab a guitar
We'll sing until our lungs run dry

Oh, life is so much better
Just hangin' around
So we should get together
All the time
Every day

Oh, life is so much better
Just hangin' around
So we should get together
All the time

Every day (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day, yeah (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day, every day now (Every day, oh, every day, oh, every day, oh, every day)
Every day, every day now, day now, day now, day now
Every day (Oh, every day!)
Every day, yeah (Mmm, every day, every day)
Every day, every day now!
(All the time!)
Mmm-hmm
Everyday!
Everyday everyday yeah hah hah
Aw huh (Every day, every day)
Aw, yeah (Aw, we're gonna get together)
Aw, hah (Singin' every day!)

Every day, oh, everyday, oh, every day, oh, every day
Oh, every day, oh, everyday, oh, everyday, oh, every day
Oh, every day, oh, everyday, oh, everyday, oh, every day
Oh, every day, oh, everyday, oh, everyday, oh, every day
Oh, every day, oh, everyday, oh, everyday, oh, every day
We should get together
We should get together
Oh, every day!

TRACK 3: AIN'T NO YOUNG LOVE SONG

This is a feeling that will never change
Can't help but smile when I see your face
The way you look at me has got me thinking
I don't want no one else

Oh, this ain't no young love song
This is the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing else in this world I'm gon' think about
Won't you be mine (Oh, be mine)

You came to see me play the motorway
My heart was racing like a '67 Chevrolet
And then it hit me all that we could be
I don't want no one else

Oh, this ain't no young love song
This is the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing else in this world I'm gon' think about
Won't you be mine (Oh, be mine)
Won't you be mine

This ain't no young love song
This is the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing else in this world I'm gon' think about
Won't you be mine (Won't you be mine)

This ain't no young love song
This is the real thing, baby
There ain't nothing else in this world I'm gon' think about
Won't you be mine (Won't you be mine)
Won't you be mine
This is the real thing baby (This is the real thing)
Won't you be mine
This is the real thing baby (This is the real thing)
Won't you be mine

TRACK 4: CHICAGO

It took till the day she was leavin'
As I carried her bags out the door
Out the door
She's leaving from L.A. to Midway
It's hard to accept, but now she's home
Now she's home

She'll always stand miles above the rest
But I could only wish her the best

I'm crying, Oh Chicago
Won't you look after her when I'm gone?
Oh, she can't know
That I think about her all day long
In the dreams I have she's lyin' with me
Right here in my arms
Oh, Chicago
Keep her warm

Been a month since she's called me Baby
Can't help but feel her slippin' away
Slippin' away
We both knew that it wouldn't be easy
But somewhere inside I still have hope
Though I had to let her go

I wish that I could hold her every night
I'm just tryin' to treat her right

I'm cryin, Oh, Chicago
Won't you look after her when I'm gone
Oh, she can't know
That I think about her all day long
In the dreams I have she's lyin' with me
Right here in my arms
Oh, Chicago
Keep her warm

Oh, Chicago
Won't you look after her when I'm gone
Oh, she can't know
That I think about her all day long
In the dreams I have she's lyin' with me
Right here in my arms
Oh, Chicago

Just keep her warm
Chicago
Keep her warm

TRACK 5: HURRICANE

She puts down her purse and she takes a seat at the bar
She doesn't take your phone call
Cause she doesn't care where you are
And timing was never our thing
I wish it was
I wish it was

When she smiles it rains
Hoping that sun don't come back again
And I'll be the one to ride the storm

My hurricane
My hurricane

She leaves all her love for the strangers she meets at the bar
Her whiskey soaked whispers always seem to fall apart
And timing was never our thing

When she smiles it rains
Hoping that sun don't come back again
I'll be the one to ride the storm
Behind her eyes I see pain
Like a ship sailing into a hurricane
And I'll be the one to calm her storm

My hurricane
My hurricane
My hurricane
My hurricane

When she smiles it rains
Hoping that sun don't come back again
I'll be the one to ride the storm
Behind her eyes I see pain
Like a ship sailing into a hurricane
And I'll be the one to calm her storm

My hurricane
My hurricane
My hurricane
My hurricane

And timing was never our thing
I wish it was

TRACK 6: DESERT SUN

You're leaving me on the outside again
The sunlight's far behind the clouds today
I had those doubts in my mind
But you didn't prove me wrong
So goodbye, Desert Princess, it's time to move on

Somehow you got my heart wrapped up in anguish
Somehow I saw the light where there was none
I tried to be oblivious but got bested once again
The winds are gonna blow me down today

Run away with those blood-stained hands
I don't care to see your face anymore
I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year
So say hello to your desert sun for me

I always knew your sights were set for elsewhere
You proved my childish worries to be true
I had a dream about you once and it became so clear
The knife that's twisted only turns by you

Run away with those blood-stained hands
I don't care to see your face anymore
I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year
So say hello to your desert sun for me

I never been a man who learns his lessons
Or lets his jaded heart keep him in line
Against both of our highest hopes I sing this ode to you
Another story about me feeling sorry

Run away with those blood-stained hands
I don't care to see your face anymore
I'm high and dry just like you'd leave me next year
So say hello to your desert sun for me

TRACK 7: MOVIN'

We're always fighting
How can our love shine through?
There ain't no winner
We're in this together to lose

We can't stay in the same old same old
It's about time, we been here too long

We gotta keep movin'
Movin'
Movin'
In the right direction, movin'
Gotta keep movin'
Movin'
In the right direction
Yes, we do

When our love is shinin'
There ain't no hiding the truth
We're livin' the good times
Walking the white lines
Through and through
Through and through

We can't stay in the same old same old
It's about time, we been here too long

We gotta keep movin'
Movin'
Movin'
In the right direction, movin'
Gotta keep movin'
Movin'
In the right direction
Yes we do

We can't stay in the same old same old
It's about time, we been here too long

I gotta keep movin'
Movin'
Movin'
In the right direction, movin'
Movin'
Movin'
In the right direction, movin' (Movin')
I gotta keep movin' (Movin')
Movin' (Movin')
In the right direction, movin' (Movin')
I gotta keep movin' (Movin')
Movin'
In the right direction
Yes we do
Yes we do

TRACK 8: ANNA MARIA

Anna Maria won't you turn out the lights
And go back to your secondhand man
It's been seven long years since you walked through the door
I told you we're through
Somehow you can't understand
Somehow you can't understand

How can't you see that you got it all wrong
I never signed up for this pain
You'll never be happy as long as you live
Keep chasing your lies
You'll only find more of the same
Only find more of the same

Don't call me a liar, don't call me a cheat
I been down at the docks tryin' to make my ends meet
I trusted you once and you played me a fool
You talk a lot of talk then you break all your rules

You're so cruel
You're so, so cruel

Anna Maria, won't you leave me for good
I'm tired of you stuck in my bones
You've taken everything I had to give
I'm holding what's left, starting a life on my own
Starting a life on my own

Don't call me a liar, don't call me a cheat
I been down at the docks tryin' to make my ends meet
I trusted you once and you played me a fool
You talk a lot of talk then you break all your rules

You're so cruel
You're so, so cruel
Why you gotta be so cruel
You're so, so cruel

Anna Maria won't you turn out the lights
And go back to your secondhand man
It's been seven long years since you walked through the door
I told you we're through
I told you we're through

Don't call me a liar, don't call me a cheat
I been down at the docks tryin' to make my ends meet
I trusted you once and you played me a fool
You talk a lot of talk then you break all your rules

You're so cruel
You're so, so cruel
Why you gotta be so cruel
Why you gotta be so, so cruel

TRACK 9: BROTHER

Brother, my brother, it's been so long
The demons inside your head now grown
I haven't seen your face in at least a hundred days
Brother, my brother it's all too much
To be so far and out of touch
I pray to see the day
But my phone rings while the matches hit the floor

The house burns slowly on a Friday night
And I'm not there to find you
You dreamt so long of a brand new life
Step out through the window

Brother, my brother, it's been so long
The fear inside your head now grown
The constant paranoia starts to take control
Brother, my brother, you'll rise above
Your muses haven't given up
I know the days ain't easy
As I turn to pick the knife up off the floor

The house burns slowly on a Friday night
And I'm not there to find you
You dreamt so long of a brand new life
Step out through the window
The house burns slowly on a Friday night
Oh!

The house burns slowly on a Friday night
And I'm not there to find you
You dreamt so long of a brand new life
Step out through the window
The house burns slowly on a Friday night
Rise up from the ashes
You dreamt so long of a brand new life
I'll be there to find you

TRACK 10: RADIO

Alright, baby

She was just a poor man's girl
With a dream of a different life
Asked her daddy to take her down to Hollywood
So she could see if her star could shine
We had a ball the moment we met
Till she started askin' me for more
I took her on down to that Hollywood sign
Sayin, "Holly, won't you let me go!"

Oh, I know she heard me on the radio
I got her heart beatin' so damn fast
She had me swayin' to and fro
Oh, I know she heard me on the radio
I won't forget Miss Hollywood
But thank God she let me go

Went on up to Washington
Where the gray skies don't get me down
Playin' along with all my friends
Finding that Seattle sound
After a while went back to church
Hopin' Holly could just save me
But the prayers didn't work and I'm stuck in reverse
Sayin, "Holly, won't you let me be!" Woo!

Oh I know she heard me on the radio
Had my heart beatin' so damn fast
Had me swayin' to and fro
Oh, I know she heard me on the radio
I won't forget Miss Hollywood
But thank God she let me go

I made my way down to New Orleans
Mardi Gras with beads in the trees
Free as a bird, living my life
But Holly came chasing' after me
And try as I might, but I can't understand
How I ain't gonna be under your spell
I changed a couple letters on that Hollywood sign
Sayin', "Holly, won't ya go to Hell!"

Oh, I know she heard me on the radio
I got my heart beatin' so damn fast
She had me swayin' to and fro
Oh, I know she heard me on the radio
I won't forget Miss Hollywood
But thank God she let me go
C'mon!

Hey, ya!
Oh haw yeah!
U-muh-huh-ya!

Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heard it on the radio
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heard it on the radio
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heard it on the radio
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heardy heardy heardy heardy
Heard it on the radio!
