MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

I’ve been sitting here waiting on your call for so long
I’ve got nothing left to drink
You’ve used up every minute of my time it’s so wrong
That now I don’t know what to think

It can
Drive Ya crazy
Could be
A conspiracy
Or might
Just be a case of
Cold feet

Not a moment I haven’t thought of where you belong
Waiting for the phone to ring
Spent so many nights with wine, women and song
Until you changed everything

Chorus

Cold feet
Where they got ya running too?
Cold feet
Did they buy ya walking shoes?
Cold feet
Are you standing toe to toe with your
Cold feet

I can’t tell you where I was before you came along
Those stories should die with me
I’ve been sitting here waiting on your call for so long
But the phone has yet to ring

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

I’ve always tried to be so careful
And not trample on your broken bones
But underfoot are nothing but eggshells
That now litter what was paved with stones

Now I’m outa luck
Asking for to much
It’s cut deep enough
Into me
Make no apologies

You always sound like a bad burnt record
Mudding up all of the frequencies
Now gone for good even speaks for itself
But I can’t commit to what it says it needs

You’ve run outa luck
Asking for to much
It’s cut deep enough
Into me/ to not bleed-not to bleed
Make no apologies

For every word you didn’t mean to say
All of the nerve you’ve thrown my way
For what it’s worth there is no saving grace
Let it be

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

I was never good at this
Finding something to fill the silence
Don’t tell who else you’ve been with
Don’t want to hear those words from your lips

What have I to answer to?
Maybe I’m not as curious as you

Come on, don’t hold anything back
You know, you can’t change the past
Because you want to
Because you want to
It won’t come true

Don’t act like you don’t know me
Given all the secrets that you keep

What have I to answer to?
Maybe I’m not as curious as you

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

Baby who you got to talk to tonight
Your sitting all alone and it doesn’t seem right
Is it about the boy you had by your side?
I saw you two dancing sweet and slow by the exit sign

Did he tell you what you needed to hear?
After he got what he wanted did all hope disappear?

(So/Come) get up on your feet
You’ve got nothing left to loose
Come here next to me
This old tune will have to do
To shake off these dancehall blues
Don’t let ‘em get to you
These Dancehall blues

Now don’t believe a word of his lies
Just let the music fill up the corners of your mind
I hate to stand here and see you cry
Come on it’ still way to early to call it a night

Will you tell me what you’re needing to hear?
I know it’s not what you wanted once the smoke starts to clear

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

Two blocks down from the murder mart
Caught smoking cigarettes in an abandon car
Waited for the lights to change
In the rain
Made it back to her mothers house
Followed her upstairs as she took her hair down
Stripped out of her wet clothes
What can I say?
That was 1988

Days like those you always remember
They stay burned in your brain

And don’t let go
Won’t let go

Heard the sound from the parking lot
Hustled Aerosmith tickets with our fingers crossed
Somehow we snuck backstage
And saw them play
And later that night I slid out
And into her window on the south side of town
I had never been that close
At that age
It was 1988

Nights like those you always remember
No matter what it takes?

It don’t let go
Won’t ever let go

Must have spun that record a thousand times
Must have spun that record every day and night

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

I can’t be your friend
I want you too much
To pretend
I could be your friend
It’s not good enough
In the end

Everybody here wants to catch your eye
Full of sweet nothings to get you high

Is this what you want?
When the night starts closing in
You know you can’t be too careful these days
I’m not going to say it again

I can’t be your friend

I can’t be your friend
You know all too well
To pretend
I could be your friend
You can’t help yourself
In the end

Everybody here wants to take your pride
Begging you to believe their lies

Chorus

No mater how many ways you ask
We just can’t be friends
You know I want to be more than that
And I know you don’t want any of them
I won’t fall for that again

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

I’ve never driven down this road with the radio up
Drownin out the sounds of the world with the songs I knew when we were young
The steering wheel is cold and too slow to turn in this mud
This Cadillac has more miles to burn before either of us have had enough

She don’t rely on the shoulder
She acts like I hardly know her

Pushing the red line
Not a car in sight
I can hear her voice in my head
Driving through the pines
In the dead of night
There’s so much I wish I had said
When I hear her voice in my head

Maybe this is how it goes when the going gets rough
A highway of holes led to parts unknown along side a river run

What can I do to earn her trust?
Once we walked on water, now we’re drowning in the flood

Flashing are the signs
On the bridge tonight
I can hear her voice in my head
The dams open wide
There’s no ground in sight
There’s so much I wish I’d said
When I hear her voice in my head

If she’s said it once
She has a thousand times
I can hear her voice in my head
I know what she wants
Her heart doesn’t lie
There’s so much I wish I had said
When I hear her voice in my head

MUSIC & LYRICS BY: J. KETCHMARK

I saw you in the record store
In the summer of 1994
Spinning Joan Jett
Loud enough to go deaf
You never heard me say hello
As you stood there reading the liner notes
In a fine mess
Of records and cassettes
Looking just as good as the day we met

I got to know
Why you don’t want me
I got to know
Why you don’t need me
Anymore
I can’t let go
I can’t let go
Rock and Roll

You said you’d be my troubadour
And I’d be the muse that you would die for
After all these years
Is there nothing for you here?
I’ve kept your secrets and dirty jokes
And why you can’t live without your cherry coke
Still wearing that worn out Stones shirt
I got you for your birthday
How you only love the clash when it rains

Chorus

Rock and Roll
Let me go

I haven’t seen you in forever
I’ve always loved that summer dress
Has it been since last September?
I’ve had this feeling in my chest

When,
We parked the car out on high point lane
Just two fools, top down in the rain
Those were the days
We made the best mistakes
Past the trespass sign at the reservoir
It was your greatest hits and my guitar
That I can’t erase
Even if times have changed
Damn. Those were the days

With every sunset I remember
What the whiskey helps me forget
And the long drives through the canyon
Makes me wish I never left

Chorus

Those were the times we loved
The times we lived
With you by my side
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give
To have just one more day
Can we make the world go away?

Lets,
Park the car out on high point lane
Be two fools caught out in the rain
Just like the days
We made our best mistakes
Past the trespass sign at the reservoir
Your greatest hits and my guitar
What a pair we could make
Like nothing has changed

And we’ll say

Those were the days,
Those were the days.
Those were the days
