(Written by Jason Kelly Richards & J. Shields) Your memory’s like a ghost It haunts me in my sleep I tried to forget you Another promise I can’t keep Our love was young and reckless I thought you’d always be mine But ill winds kept blowing Until we just stopped trying Whiskey won’t wash away This emptiness and pain My tears fall to the ground Like magnolias in the rain Darling, when I first met you Daylight would never end Now I curse the dawn Call the darkness friend Inside this hopeless heart There’s no place to run Can’t find my way From the shadows to the sun Whiskey won’t wash away This emptiness and pain My tears fall to the ground Like magnolias in the rain You were the only one I’d ever want to take my name Time may heal these wounds If you want the truth I’ll never be the same Whiskey won’t wash away This emptiness and pain My tears fall to the ground Like magnolias in the rain Whiskey won’t wash away This emptiness and pain My tears fall to the ground Like magnolias in the rain Like magnolias in the rain Like magnolias in the rain

(Written by J. Shields, D. Shields) When I was a young boy, I wanted to be on T.V. I’d dance with the stars and the judges would all vote for me N’ Mama would tell me that God has a plan for us all But gravity reminds us, what goes up is surely to fall I met a man who was dying for reasons to live ‘Cause his children won’t call him, and he thinks he’s got nothing to give So he puts on a circus with a cigarette and a brown paper bag N’ he dances for no one and pretends he doesn’t feel sad When you were a child imagination was king The world was your castle, you thought you could do anything Now that you’re older your dreams are whispers in wind They float to the heavens never to be heard from again You make excuses trying to squeeze blood from a stone When a small shift in focus is all you need to get home When you were a child imagination was king The world was your castle, you knew you could do anything

Chains 05:35
(Written by J. Shields) All I give is all I am Never be your perfect man ‘Cuz I foresee this road divides And in the end we both say goodbye You, my dear Have no shame You’ve got our love bound up My heart’s in chains My heart’s in chains Crack your whip I’m on my knees I bow like you’re my deity I hear you calling out my name But I can’t feel beneath this pain I hear your voice Call out my name I have no choice You go and I’ll follow You, my dear Have no shame You’ve got our love bound up My heart’s in chains My heart’s in chains Crack your whip I’m on my knees I bow like you’re my deity I hear you calling out my name But I can’t feel beneath this pain

(Written by J. Shields) You used to be, so understanding You used to live with passion You used to walk and talk for hours About anything with anyone You’re one to say that nothing changes Look at how life has changed you Oh no, don’t go, Please don’t turn and walk away from me Don’t change, honey Always be the light you used to be You used to live like there’s no tomorrow Guess you feel safer now Used to return all you’d borrow Maybe you have forgotten how You used to fight for something better You used to dream just like me Funny how time just makes us grayer So full of doubt and compromise Oh no, don’t go, Please don’t turn and walk away from me Don’t change, honey Always be the light you used to be You once believed in God and heaven Ubiquitous entities But now your thoughts are bound by reason You tell yourself it just can’t be Oh no, don’t go, Please don’t turn and walk away from me Don’t change, honey Always be the light you used to be
