The Same Team

The Same Team

Written by Keith Mouland

Now we’re on the same team we’re living the same dream
You and me baby we’re gonna’ get there in the end
We’re on the same team ’cause we’re both believing
There’s a song worth singing there’s a road that never ends

Now when I was a lonely boy just dreaming about the moon in June
Well I never gave up on the good times
I always knew they would come through
‘Cause we’re on the same team we’re living the same dream

You and me baby we’re gonna’ make it in the end
Yeah we’re on the same team ’cause we’re both believing
There’s a song worth singing a road that never ends
I said when I was a lonely boy I was taking it taking it on the chin

I knew the first line of the song
I was just waiting for the whole world to join in
Yeah we’re on the same team living the same dream
You and me baby we’re gonna ‘ get there in the end

We’re on the same team ’cause we’re both believing
There’s a song worth singing and a road that never ends
Now you came along took a hold of my hand
Opened my eyes now I understand that this feeling is right

And I’m a man who knows what love can do
We’re on the same team living the same dream
You and me baby we’re gonna’ make it in the end
Said we’re on the same team and we’re both believing
There’s a song worth singing and a road that never ends

Sundown Is Easy

Sundown Is Easy

Written by Keith Mouland

Just a few mornings ago I went traveling
Saw the deep water sign but I still fell in
And I still got lost down so many roads
I could have stayed in cruise control and made it home again

Just a few mornings ago when the world was young
I went riding to a place that was lost in time
And I found myself a saddlebag of birdsong
But I was looking for a love so hard to find

But sundown is easy in the morning
Easy in the middle of the day
Sitting around and talking things over
Saying “never gonna’ go back there again”

Now sundown is easy in the morning
Easy in the middle of the day
Sitting around and talking things over
Never gonna’ go back there again

Just a few mornings ago I went traveling
Yeah but I’m never going back there again

Lonesome Road

Lonesome Road

Written by Keith Mouland

Well I was loaded up with make believe
I had gimmicks guaranteed to ease my mind
I was using every trick in the book
And I was getting pretty good at killing time

You could always find me in some bar
I was drinking anything cheap and strong
A walking example of the blues
Since the day our love went wrong

Now there’s a lonesome road that you’re bound to travel
Yeah a lonesome road when you’re on your own
A lonesome road out in the cold light
A lonesome road when your love is gone

Well I sat out on my old back porch
Recouperating for a while
And I had chicken picking around my feet
And I was singing songs in a high lonesome style

But when the moonshine was gone
And there was nothing left to do
I looked towards the morning sun
Just to see if it was still shining through

There’s a lonesome road that you’re bound to travel
A lonesome road when you’re on your own
A lonesome road out in the cold light
A lonesome road when your love is gone
Yeah a lonesome road in the light of the dawn

I’m sorry baby

I’m sorry baby

Written by Keith Mouland

Well I’m sorry baby for hanging round so long
You’re too sweet for your own good I’m too blind for my own
I should have left before just walked away from your home
I should have said goodbye let you live the life that you wanted all along

Well I’m sorry baby sweet lasting love
You know we can’t get by for ever and a day
Just on a good old fashioned hug
‘Cause breaking up and making up it’s just not enough

Sometimes a love made in heaven finds it hard down here on earth
Sometimes a love made in heaven finds it hard down here on earth
Yeah I’m sorry baby for taking up your time
For taking you for granted Lord I must have been blind

I knew that you needed me ’cause that’s a hard thing to hide
I should have given it wings done the proper thing
And walked out of your life
I’m sorry baby sweet lasting love

You know we can’t get by for ever and a day
Just on a good old fashioned hug
Breaking up and making up well that’s just not enough
Sometimes a love made in heaven finds it hard down here on earth
Sometimes a love made in heaven finds it hard down here on earth

Hopelessly In Love

Hopelessly In Love

Written by Keith Mouland

Now why can’t I just forget you I said why can’t I leave you in the past
And why can’t I spend a day without you
You know it’s sad to be hopelessly in love

But I’m on the road I keep moving trying not to be your lovesick fool
But I can’t get you gone from the back of my mind
It don’t matter what I try it don’t matter what I do

And why can’t I just forget you I said why can’t I leave you in the past
And why can’t I spend a day without you
You know it’s sad to be hopelessly in love

Sometimes I play those big cities
Yes and sometimes the lonely little towns
I still can’t get you gone from the back of my mind
Well I play my songs and I put on a show

And all the good people come around
But why can’t I just forget you I said why can’t I leave you in the past
And why can’t I spend a day without you
You know it’s sad to be hopelessly in love
Said it’s sad to be hopelessly in love
