Wishin' Her Well
Writers: Doug Supernaw/Justin White

A pocket full of wishes
A well down below
This ain't the first time
That I've stood here and thrown
But ol' George ain't been too lucky
And I've lost faith in Honest Abe
Cause all I know is they ain't made good
On one wish that I've made

So now I'm wishin' her well
Hopin' that she's alright
And wishin' that I was one who was holdin' her tonight
But if she's made up her mind
Then I'm just makin' a fool of myself
But there goes a dime
Cause I'm wishin' her well
A quarter hits the bottom
A wish that won't come true
There's at least a thousand faces

Staring up through the blue
I wouldn't give you a nickel
For any chance I've got
So I'll just flip it off my finger
And watch it float down to the rocks

Cause now I'm wishin' her well
Hopin' that she's alright
Wishin' that I was the one who was holdin' her tonight
But if she's made up her mind
Then I'm just makin' a fool of myself
Yes there goes a dime
Cause I'm wishin' her well


Shut'er Down
Writers: Doug Supernaw/Justin White

Parkview used to be just on the outside of town
Now it's right in the middle of a city that's grown all round it
And the old folks there just sit and stare at the walls
Except for one crazy old man standin' there preachin' in the halls

His old friend died last week so they let him go
And his eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the shoulder
And some punks drove by and yelled as he stood at the casket
And he cussed this world that had gone to hell in a basket

So he walked downtown with his cane pole
Looking through the window of what used to be the drugstore
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
He heads on down to the fishin' hole and dreams about his hero
Who took him there when he was three years old
Same spot every day but don't need no bait cause it's dry

Yes it's true that he's not quite all there but who cares
Neither are the values that he's lived by for 90 years
Just like his home town
He's about to shut her down

My views used to be just like those kids in that car
Until I woke up one day thanks to a switch in the yard
Now the old man's gone but his thoughts are livin' in me
About the way this damned 'ol world is supposed to be

So I walked downtown with his cane pole
Looking through the window of what used to be the drugstore
Next to the cafe where he laughed away his life
Head on down to the fishin' hole and dream about my hero
Who took me there when I was three years old
Same spot every day but don't need no bait cause it's dry
Yes it's true that I'm not quite all there but who cares
Neither are the values that he taught me in 30 years

Just like his home town
He just had to shut her down

And just like his home town
He just finally shut her down



Not Enough Hours In The Night
Writers: Aaron Barker/Kim Williams/Rob Harbin

Sometimes I wish there were no windows in this room
The sun comes pouring through those curtains
Way too soon
Reminding me it's time to rise and shine
But you look so good lying there
In that old T-shirt of mine

Chorus:
There's not enough hours in the night
Not enough time to hold you tight
How time flies when you are in love
We lay down and the sun comes up
I wish that I could set that clock
To moonlight saving time
When it comes to loving you
And steal an hour from the day

They say two people just can't live on love alone
But girl, if we die trying, what a way to go
I think I'll call in and say I'm running late
Hang a blanket on the window
And steal an hour from the day

(Chorus)

I wish that I could set that clock
To moonlight saving time
Cause when it comes down to loving you
There's not enough hours in the night



Roots and Wings
Writers: Skip Ewing/Bill Anderson

A Mamma watched her baby fall and bump his head
Taking baby steps across the floor
She could have tried to catch him but a voice inside her said
In the long run that will only hurt him more
But she picked me up and told me that she loved me
And she held me and she made me feel secure
And I grew to understand what real love means
And what it takes for two hearts to endure

Chorus:
Roots and wings
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
And I'm a kite on your string
Your love is my anchor in the storm
And a part of me stays grounded
So the rest of me can fly
Only 'cause you are
My roots and wings

A Daddy kissed his baby and then he fixed her veil
Took her arm and walked her down the aisle
When the preacher asked him who gives this child away
He said "me" and did his best to smile
Now you call him every weekend and you tell him
That you love him and you're thankful as can be
That his firm hand and his soft heart were a blessing
And the reason you can give the gift to me (of)

Roots and wings
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
And I'm a kite on your string
Your love is my anchor in the storm
And a part of me stays grounded
So the rest of me can fly
Only 'cause you are
My roots and wings

Some say love's a circle
Some say love's a light
Some say love's a river
I don't know who's right
But this I know for certain
This I know for truth
The secret to forever
For me and you is...

Roots and wings
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
And I'm a kite on your string
Your love is my anchor in the storm
And a part of me stays grounded
So the rest of me can fly
Only 'cause you are
My roots and wings

I'm lucky that you are my roots and wings


Roots and wings
To my ship you are the lighthouse on the shore
And I'm a kite on your string
Your love is my anchor in the storm
And a part of me stays grounded
So the rest of me can fly
Only 'cause you are
My roots and wings


He Went To Paris
Writer: Jimmy Buffett

He went to Paris looking for answers to the questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive saving the world on his own
The warm summer breezes and French wine and cheeses
Put his ambitions at bay
Summers and Winters scattered like splinters and 4 to 5 years slipped away

He went to England played the piano and married an actress named Kim
They had a good life she was a fine wife and bore him a young son named Jim
All of the answers to most of the questions locked in his attic some day
But he liked the quiet clean country living and 20 more years skipped away

Solo:

The war took his baby the bombs killed his lady and left him with only one eye
His body was battered his whole world was shattered and
All he could do was just cry
While the tears were falling he was recalling the answers that he never found
Hopped on a freighter skated the ocean and left England without a sound

Now he lives in the islands fishes the pilings and drinking his Green label each day
Writing his memoirs losing his hearing but he don't care what most people say
After 86 years of perpetual motion if he likes you he'll smile and say
Some of it's magic some of it's tragic but I had a good life all the way
He went to Paris looking for answers to the questions that bothered him so




The Note
Writers: Buck Moore/Michelle Ray

The note was short, but Lord so strong
It simply said, "I can't go on
And live a lie with someone I don't love"
She couldn't tell me face to face
Oh but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words, that broke the heart
Of the one, the one that really loves her

My tears fell down, like falling rain
But they can't wash away the pain
How will I go to sleep without her in my arms
She never meant to break my heart
But how my world was torn apart
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words, that broke the heart
Of this one, the only one that really loves her

With one stroke of the pen she wrote off all my dreams
Erasing all the plans we made together
I am the one that is to blame
Oh, but how my world was changed
By the hand that held the pen
That wrote the words, that broke the heart
Oh the one, the only one that really loves her
