(Heard You Go By) Nicky

Heard you go by “Nicky” down in Nashville
Ran into your old friend on the train
The one from school that always made you laugh till
It looked like you were in pain
Guess there’d be no reason I would know that
I don’t even know when we last spoke
Still I got that feeling in my stomach
The one that reaches to your throat
Heard you go by “Nicky” down in Nashville
You never did like playing by the rules
Always on the move while I just stand still
I never did like playing cool
Heard you go by “Nicky” down in Nashville
Guess it makes you sound more rock and roll
Heard you go by “Nicky” down in Nashville
Is it alright if I still say Nicole?

Grady's Song

Was not the call that I expected
And I haven’t yet accepted
All the times that I neglected to reach out
You were always disappearing
In the stories I was hearing
I just thought you’d find a clearing in the clouds
But it’s too late now
You ain’t coming down tonight
We would run into each other
When we still went home for summer
Like a couple long lost brothers crossing paths
I could tell that you were different
But it was me who kept on drifting
Now it’s me who’s left here missing how you laughed
‘Cause it’s too late now
You ain’t coming out tonight
So we’ll pour one out and talk about you then
We’ll pour one out and talk about you then
And we’ll run our mouths until we sound like friends
I think of you most often
Late at night when I go walking
‘Cause I’m sick and tired of tossing in my bed
I won’t pretend to know what happens
But in my head you’re somewhere laughin’
With your favorite record blastin’

So Much to Lose
02:25

I broke down in the backroads of my mind
Just as the sun was going down
Nothing but some gravel and
a forest of regret to stand beside
Was about to walk right through it
When you pulled up and offered me a ride
I don’t know how the hell you even got here
But right now I don’t even care
Just breathing in this moment knowing
There’s a chance you’re only passing through
I spent so long looking forward
It’s nice to finally see what to
I never knew I could find so much to lose
You tell me all the rivers, roads, and mountains
Of Colorado where you’re from
And why you had to leave it
Though you hope to raise a family there someday
When you’re tired of the running
And satisfied to give yourself away
I never knew I could find so much

Exit 33
03:17

Put the car in park in the early morning dark
Walk across the empty lot alone
The air is cool and crisp, lights are blinking through the mist
In the distance you can hear the highway groan
Say morning to Marie as she’s packing up to leave
Settle up the register and wait
Cozy in my post with my coffee and my toast
Now the first car pulls up slowly to the gate
It’s work but it works for me
Here at exit 33
From minivans to motorbikes, semis to sedans
Chevy, Honda, BMW
I’ve just about seen it all through these sliding window walls
Every walk of life comes riding through
Mothers, husbands, children, gamblers, travelers, businessmen
A couple running late to catch a plane
Young and pretty girls on the run to see the world
Far beyond this town they know will never change
It’s work but it works for me
Here at exit 33
That’s not to say I never dreamed of breaking free
Just another passerby with somewhere to be
But mostly I thank God he saved a place for me
It’s a cotton candy sky as I put the car in drive
Seven hours straight I’ve had to stand
Printing tickets, counting change, but you won’t hear me complain
‘Cause the devil used to love my idle hands
It’s work but it works for me
