High on the Street

Written by Elexa Dawson
Instrumentation:
Isaac Nelson - drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar mandolin
Adam Stanley - mandolin, piano, organ, keyboard, bass, percussion, foley
Elexa Dawson - intro guitar

I’m always high on the street 
Drunk beyond belief
Don’t know anymore what 
I’m supposed to be sorry for 
Day comes after day
Somewhere I lost my way
I’m always high on the street

Never knew this world to be very kind to me
And a home is not a place that I can be
Never knew this world to be very kind to me
And a home is not a place that I can be

I’m always strung out in the rain
You know I can’t complain
There’s no one who can say 
How I ended up this’a way 
A drunkard is a king
Not ruled by anything 
But still, I’m stuck out in the rain

Never knew this world to be very kind to me
And a home is not a place that I can be
Never knew this world to be very kind to me
And a home is not a place that I can be

Oh, home, I’m goin’ home
Oh, home, I’m goin’ home

Rainbows

Written by Isaac Nelson, Adam Stanley
Instrumentation:
Isaac Nelson - acoustic, 12-string, & bass guitar
Adam Stanley - percussion

I see rainbows
When I look in your eyes
Kaleidoscopes I can’t deny
It couldn’t be a surprise 
I want You by my side

Would you take my hand
Let’s grab the wine and blanket
We’ll make love under the old oak tree
The sun and moon
May move the tides inside us
I know my love for you will never recede

Would you take my hand
Strolling by the trumpet vines
Blaring out a chorus just for you and me
Now we understand 
Like the ones before us
If we sing it back
We become part of the dream

Now I see rainbows
I see rainbows
I see rainbows 
Even in the darkest skies

Lot of Life

Written by Elexa Dawson
Instrumentation:
Doug Swindell - dobro, percussion
Adam Stanley - drums, guitar, harmonica
Isaac Nelson - synth, chimes

Birds compose at dawn’s first light
Chase away the last of night
Invitation, come and play
Got a lot of life to live today, lot of life to live today
We’ve got a lot of life to live today.

Songs to sing, good work to do
Good time hangin' with the crew
Imperfection to forgive
We’ve got a lot of life to live, got a lot of life to live
Got a lot of life to live today

Trouble never leaves us, but there’s no one to blame
A brand new morning gives us a reason to give thanks
Sorrow never leaves us, but deep behind the clouds
A burning passion moves us, we cannot give up now
Got a lot of life… yeah…

How deep the well from this day springs
Brilliant source of everything
Greets us at the eastern door
Invitation, come explore, reality outside your door
We’ve got a lot of life to live today

Copper up, tobacco down
Ancestors are all around
We seek help with gratitude
To do the work we have to do,
and good time hangin' with the crew
We’ve got a lot of life to live today

Trouble never leaves us, but there’s no one to blame
A brand new morning gives us a reason to give thanks
Sorrow never leaves us, but deep behind the clouds
A burning passion moves us, we cannot give up now
Got a lot of life… yeah…

Got a lot of life to live today
a lot of life to live today
We’ve got a lot of life to live today

Lonely Coyote

Written by Adam Stanley
‍Instrumentation
Adam Stanley: guitar, harmonica
Kelby Kimberlin: bass guitar
Isaac Nelson: foley

An artistic image that nature provides
Is a lonely coyote in the southwestern sky
It’s hard to escape what it implies
After all, the image is true

I can’t shake the feelin’ that it gives to me
How did she pack so much in just one beadery
When I get this feelin’ all I wanna do
Is lay with you

Lay with me, lay with me tonight
I’m a lonely coyote in the southwestern sky

The hens have the heat so they’re warm in their stead
The dogs are all quiet, the kids are in bed
This lonely coyote is happy in her den
After all, I share it with you

I love the feelin' that you give to me
Our hearts are aligned in sweet symmetry
When I get this feeling all I wanna do
Is lay with you

Lay with me, lay with me tonight
I’m a lonely coyote in the southwestern sky

Lay with me, lay with me tonight
I’m a lonely coyote in the southwestern sky

Sweet Sisters

Written by Adam Stanley, Isaac Nelson
Instrumentation
Adam Stanley: acoustic guitar, drums, accordion, percussion
Isaac Nelson: 12 string, synth, percussion
Doug Swindell: cigar box guitar, percussion
Kelby Kimberlin: bass guitar
Backup vocals: Carli Roberts and Annie Roberts

Let’s plant a garden for the sisters three
Plant a row of corn, a row of squash and beans
The corn gives the bean vine a place to grow
The squash leaves shade the earth below

How do we pass what the elders know
Singing songs while planting rows
To learn what you sow is what you reap
you gotta love the crow and the bumblebee

Oh, let’s go down where the honeysuckle grows
down by the creek where the water flows
we can plant our seeds and sow our oats
It's easy
Oh, you’re gonna have rain and you’ll have sunshine
It takes both, and a little bit of time
Life is short and it’s yours and mine

I long for the land where I used to be
On the prairie wind, you hear the elders sing
If you’ve lost your sisters just sing these notes
And you’ll find yourself where the honeysuckle grows

Oh, let’s go down where the honeysuckle grows
down by the creek where the water flows
we can plant our seeds and sow our oats
Oh, you’re gonna have rain and you’ll have sunshine
It takes both, and a little bit of time
Life is short and it’s yours and mine
It's easy

Oh, the sweet sisters three
Oh, the sweet sisters three
Oh, the sweet sisters three
Oh, the sweet sisters three

Mother

Written by Elexa Dawson
Instrumentation
Elexa Dawson: acoustic guitar
Isaac Nelson: lead guitar
Adam Stanely: piano, percussion

You and I, we are the same.
I’m the place from whence you came.
Gave you bones, I gave you blood
Turned your face toward the sun

Stay with me a little while
Sow your seeds, drink deep
You’ll remember who you are
Remember who you are

Who you are
Stay with me
You will see

You and I, we are the same
Dust to dust, from whence you came
Everything returns to one
Turn your face toward the sun

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

Will of the World

Written by Elexa Dawson
Instrumentation
Doug Swindell: drums, electric guitar
Adam Stanley: organ, piano, percussion
Isaac Nelson: bass, acoustic & electric guitar

You and me are just like we’re
Supposed to be, I guess.
We laid it on the will of the world.
No matter how long since it’s been,
I feel it in my chest.
Your exit wound is tender and fresh.

If I could have you, you know I would.
If I could have you, you know I would.

Questioning reality
The distance I would go
I failed, but I promise you I tried
If you think you could change your mind
There may yet be some love to find
Between us. We still got time.

If I could have you, you know I would.
If I could have you, you know I would.

The echo of a moment
My heart is always in it
I push it to the limit just one more time
Enough is not enough love
So tell me what you want, love
I’ll take what I can get, love
And I’ll be alright.

Come back with the impact
Of a thousand burning suns
No tellin’ when it happens or how long.
A firelight blaze through the night
And you are back again
Our comet still burns

If I could have you, you know I would.
If I could have you, you know I would.

You and me are just like we’re
Supposed to be, I guess.
We laid it on the will of the world.

Wanderlust

Written by: Adam Stanley, Isaac Nelson
Instrumentation
Adam Stanley: piano, accordion, bass, foley
Kelby Kimberlin: bass
Isaac Nelson: drums, nylon guitar
Backup vocals: Carli and Annie Roberts

We’ve all fallen in love with wanderlust
and I've been flirting again with wanderlust.
The world is better when there is more of us.
We’re all falling apart with wanderlust.

Bless the air with palo santo,
set and setting must be arranged.
We all grow with the seasons,
and I indulge in the seasons' change.

Like Icarus who made his wings
to fly up to the sun,
my hat has many feathers and
I’d like another one.

We’ve all fallen in love with wanderlust
and I've been flirting again with wanderlust.
The world is better when there is more of us.
We’re all falling apart with wanderlust.

Water falls off the oak leaves,
sunlight slows as it passes through.
How do you harvest beauty?
Midnight mothing and find anew.

Funnel clouds are forming but
I won't be pulled away.
I want to find a rose rock
with the perfect floral shape.
I know that it seems foolish to go
drivin' in the rain
My arm is out the window and my
hand’s an aeroplane.

We’ve all fallen in love with wanderlust
and I've been flirting again with wanderlust.
Misty light creating more of us.
We’re all falling apart with wanderlust.

Ooh, wanderlust
It’s easy to fall in love
With wanderlust

What can I answer?
What can I do?
You’re in no danger,

To make you see?

Through all the years
Through all your laughter
Gave you your tears

Come now and drink

What never changes
Source of this life
Life that’s within you
Life within me
Here is your answer

Speak Again

How they must have felt when our elders lost their way
Deprived of ancient words amid the autumn maze
I tried to understand, to learn the music from those days
Words were hard to comprehend, but the rhythm held its sway
We danced with those who've gone before their shadows from the moon
Their rings of fire speak to me our elders haunting tune
And though they may be quiet, a language near erased
Where once a nation spoke as one, only nine remain
Only nine remain
Tobacco to the elders, can I learn our native tongue?
But there were very few who still communed beneath the sun
They see us in our struggle to learn the language that they spoke
Our pitiful expressions sending prayers amid the smoke
We danced with those who've gone before their shadows from the moon
Their rings of fire speak to me our elders haunting tune
Let their voices be remembered, let the language take its place
Where once a nation spoke as one, we will speak again
We will speak again
Kekyananek
Penojenanek
Kekyananek
Penojenanek
Let their voices be remembered, let the language take its place
Where once a nation spoke as one, we will speak again
We will speak again

New Song

This is not the way that I thought the world would end
And though we're far apart, I'm so thankful for my friends
And we will not despair, we will take this opportunity
To better our relations, because we're one big family

Love is the message, love is a deed
Open our minds up, new eyes to see
The way it has always been done is now gone
This is our moment to sing a new song

The hour is approaching, be ready when it comes
We can change the world with kindness, cause the darkness to run
One thing you must remember when you're pressed against the wall
That love is never wasted, and the end comes to all

Love is the message, love is a deed
Open our minds up, new eyes to see
The way it has always been done is now gone
This is our moment to sing a new song

You and me are just like we’re
Supposed to be, I guess.
We laid it on the will of the world.
