Save Us From Goodbye

Lyricist: Alisa Joy Claus

Voice Credit: Clint Reno

VERSE 1

Baby, these two hearts, they ain’t beatin’ the same
Under the same roof, but outta sync in every way
Can’t remember the last time, I held you in these arms
And, with every kiss, you’re lips they’re slower to respond

CHORUS

We’re drifting further apart, more sink baby than swim
Just barely treadin’ water, headed towards that deep end
I don’t know how we got here, don’t know if we survive
But, I know we’re goin’ under, if we don’t save us from goodbye
Save us from goodbye

VERSE 2

Layin’ in that bed, we might as well be miles apart
Nothin’ but distance between us, no passion, no spark
If we ain’t lovin’ each other, if I ain’t holdin’ you close
Our love will keep on fadin’, it’ll burn out before we know

CHORUS

We’re drifting further apart, more sink baby than swim
Just barely treadin’ water, headed towards that deep end
I don’t know how we got here, don’t know if we survive
But, I know we’re goin’ under, if we don’t save us from goodbye

BRIDGE

This love is slippin’ away, but it ain’t too late to save it
I need you to hold on, baby, hold on ‘til we get that flame lit

CHORUS

We’re drifting further apart, more sink baby than swim
Just barely treadin’ water, headed towards that deep end
I don’t know how we got here, don’t know if we survive
But, I know we’re goin’ under, if we don’t save us from goodbye
Save us from goodbye

We need to save us from goodbye

Roll the Dice

Lyricist: Alisa Joy Claus and Justin Morgan

VERSE 1

Swore we weren’t in love, til we gave into our hearts
Yeah, last night we were drunk, now we’re in each other’s arms
We could chalk it up to the 2 for ones that we drank until last call 
Or we can stop pretending that we’re just friends and let ourselves fall

CHORUS

Cuz, In the blink of an eye, everything’s changed
Yeah, we crossed that line, but did we make a mistake
Are we friends or are we lovers
Could we go back if we tried 
Do we fall in love or fall apart 
Baby, let’s roll the dice 

VERSE 2

I can’t lie, sometimes I’ve wondered how it’d be 
But lately, you’ve been more on my mind than anything 
Yeah, I don’t regret one touch, but we can’t let that mess this up
Cause no matter where we go from here, this ain’t what it was

CHORUS

Cuz, In the blink of an eye, everything’s changed
Yeah, we crossed that line, but did we make a mistake
Are we friends or are we lovers
Could we go back if we tried 
Do we fall in love or fall apart 
Baby, let’s roll the dice 

BRIDGE

We could be forever 
But we might end up in flames 
We may wish this never happened 
Or, you might take my last name 

CHORUS 3 (Alternate)

In the blink of an eye, everything’s changed
Yeah, we crossed that line, did we make a mistake
If we’re friends and we’re lovers
We could lose each other twice 
Do we fall in love or fall apart 
Baby, let’s roll the dice 

OUTRO

Was it once on a drunk night
Or was it once upon a time
Do we fall in love or fall apart 
Baby let’s roll the dice

The Promised Road

Lyricist: Alisa Joy Claus

Voice Credit: Chase Wimberly

VERSE 1

The Bible on my nightstand
Never meant anything to me
I didn’t realize it was because
I was empty spiritually
I wish that I had known
My soul was longing to believe
It took me hitting rock bottom
To be humbled enough to see

CHORUS

I was lost in the wilderness
I wasn’t sure where to go
I was searching for a higher path
I was told was paved in hope
Then, as soon as I turned towards faith
His love and mercy overflowed
I knew in that moment
I had found the promised road
Oh, oh, oh, oh…….……the promised road

VERSE 2

I spent so many wasted years
Trying to fix the broken in me
I should have listened to my soul
My heart knew he was the key
When I ran out of options and
There was nowhere left to hide
I finally said yes to Jesus
And I gave him my life

CHORUS

I was lost in the wilderness
I wasn’t sure where to go
I was searching for a higher path
I was told was paved in hope
Then, as soon as I turned towards faith
His love and mercy overflowed
I knew in that moment
I had found the promised road

BRIDGE

He was right there next to me, He never left my side
And when I went astray, his love would be my guide

CHORUS

I was lost in the wilderness
I wasn’t sure where to go
I was searching for a higher path
I was told was paved in hope
Then, as soon as I turned towards faith
His love and mercy overflowed
I knew in that moment
I had found the promised road
Oh, oh…… the promised, the promised road
I had found the, the promised road
The Promised Road

Come Closing Time

Lyricist: Alisa Joy Claus

VERSE 1

We’re no good together, we weren’t meant to last
There’s no use in us, rehashing the past
It’s clear, we’re better off as friends
But, when the lights go dim, we’re hooking up again

CHORUS

All those late nights, pourin’ ‘em straight nights
Letting one shot, lead to four
When it’s last call, no need for alcohol
We’re kissing our way to the door
Exes or lovers, can’t make up our minds
Depends on if we’re sober, come closing time
Come closing time

VERSE 2

In the daylight, we don’t mess around
But, the rules change when the sun goes down
Old habits, they die hard when we’re tipsy
We’re back in the sheets, blaming it on the whiskey

CHORUS

All those late nights, pourin’ ‘em straight nights
Letting one shot, lead to four
When it’s last call, no need for alcohol
We’re kissing our way to the door
Exes or lovers, can’t make up our minds
Depends on if we’re sober, come closing time

BRIDGE

Just one touch, it don’t take much
Our passion lights a fire
Tippin’ ‘em back, we go sideways fast
Givin’ into our desire

CHORUS

All those late nights, pourin’ ‘em straight nights
Letting one shot, lead to four
When it’s last call, no need for alcohol
We’re kissing our way to the door
Exes or lovers, can’t make up our minds
Depends on if we’re sober, come closing time

OUTRO

Is it gonna be your place or mine
Come closing time
Oh, oh, come closing time
Come closing time

VERSE 1

Just one look, and I was hooked
I fell in love right there
With your sparklin’ green eyes
And your wavy brown hair
Oh, it gives me chills when
I look back on that day
I knew there was no chance
I’d ever walk away

While holdin’ you so tight
Couldn’t know forever

That’s where it all started
out on your front porch swing

VERSE 2

Of how you stole my heart
And all these years later

Didn’t know I would need
And it’s because of you
My life is now complete

I was fallin’ for you
While holdin’ you so tight

Rockin’ back and forth on our front porch swing
The story of you and me, yeah it all started here

VERSE 1

Every wrinkle and laugh line, has it’s own story to tell
Priceless memories, etched on my face, proof of a life lived well
As I’m sittin here, countin blessings, got my hands raised up in thanks
Cuz, I’m grateful for the journey and for God’s amazing grace

Cuz, when I retrace my footsteps, I see his footprints on my every path
Yeah, my every path

VERSE 2

I’m at peace with gettin older, but, I’m aware there’s a price to pay

But with age comes wisdom, gratitude outweighs all my complaints
So, As long as I’m breathin, these knees will be kneelin down to pray

On my every path

Unspoken

VERSE 1

When You walked away, these old wounds, they let you go
I wanted you to stay, but my fear of rejection was in control
I figured silence, it would protect me from makin’ a mistake
Turns out, all it did, was lead me straight towards heartbreak

CHORUS

If you were here holdin’ me, I’d make my intentions clear
Everything my heart, longed to say, I’d whisper in your ear
If you were here lovin’ me, I wouldn’t be layin here broken
Cryin’ tears of regret, ‘cause, I love you went unspoken

VERSE 2

I should’ve shared my feelings, deep inside, my soul wanted to
I should’ve told you, that forever was what I was seein’ with you
But, the last guy, he was out the door, the second that I tried
Oh, I thought that proved, bein’ vulnerable was my kryptonite

CHORUS

If you were here holdin’ me, I’d make my intentions clear
Everything my heart, longed to say, I’d whisper in your ear
If you were here lovin’ me, I wouldn’t be layin’ here broken
Cryin’ tears of regret, ‘cause, I love you went unspoken

BRIDGE

Oh, the pain of losing you, it’s finally sinkin’ in
Looks like the past found a way, of sabotaging me again
Oh, I Wish I could’ve been brave enough to speak my mind
But, words were always the enemy, sadly, not this time

CHORUS

If you were here holdin’ me, I’d make my intentions clear
Everything my heart, longed to say, I’d whisper in your ear
If you were here lovin’ me, I wouldn’t be layin’ here broken
Cryin’ tears of regret, ‘cause, I love you went unspoken
Went unspoken

And other’s he’s told me no
I try to never doubt what
He’s doing behind the scenes
When I take a leap of faith
He fulfills my wildest dreams

CHORUS

Life’s a constant journey
Navigating unknown roads
It’s full of second guessing
Wonder if’s and shoulda known’s

Every path he has me choose
God rolls me a winning streak
When I bet on him, I never lose
Oh, oh, I never lose, oh, oh

VERSE 2

He might keep me waiting
But his timing’s always right
His blessings will all come to pass
If I trust him and sit tight
When I’m faced with a challenge
There’s an ease within my soul
I know that he’ll take over and
Let his miracles unfold

Life’s a constant journey
Navigating unknown roads
It’s full of second guessing

Face the Truth

I must have been livin’ in denial or somethin’
It hit me hard, when you hit me with goodbye
I hated seein’ our forever fade from your eyes

CHORUS

I don’t wanna face the truth
I don’t wanna see the things you say you’ll do

Wipe me from your memory, completely erase me
Looking the other way’s just what I do
Cuz, baby, I don’t wanna face the truth
Face the truth

I don’t wanna see, the things you say you’ll do

Blind to the fact that you’d ever be gone
You tried to tell me, but I didn’t wanna hear it
Now, I’m left in the dust, watching you disappear

When what we had was nothin’ but magic
It’s clear you’ve let go, but your memory hasn’t
I’m feeling a void, reeling from your absence

CHORUS

You won’t remember and I can’t forget
Plain and simple, it’s time I accept that
You moved on like it was so damn easy

You won’t remember and I, I can’t forget

Plenty of late nights to help me erase
The past and any reminders of you
But, no kind of band-aid can heal this wound

Plain and simple, it’s time I accept that
You moved on like it was so damn easy

Police car headlights shining down our street
Momma in the kitchen, dropping to her knees
Daddy’s been missin’ since late afternoon
His keys are gone, took all the whiskey too

CHORUS

The eighty proof ain’t the answer
He got fooled into thinkin it is
He thought he was the one holdin’ on,
But, he’s a prisoner in it’s grip
The temptation, it’ll always be around
But, not Daddy. He couldn’t put the bottle down
The bottle down, down

Now that he’s in Heaven, I wonder if he sees
All the love that was flowing, pouring out
Didn’t come off a shelf, didn’t have a spout

The eighty proof ain’t the answer
He got fooled into thinkin it is
He thought he was the one holdin’ on,
But, he’s a prisoner in its grip
The temptation, it’ll always be around
But, not Daddy. He couldn’t put the bottle down
The bottle down, down, down

BRIDGE

I Thought Seein’ my pain would’a changed his thinkin’
I guess he just stopped tryin, or didn’t know how
To fight off his demons and put the bottle down

VERSE 1

You let me fall
You let me down
I was comin’ apart
You weren’t comin’ around
I’d lost my will
I’d lost my way
Just barely holdin’ on
You let me slip away

CHORUS

My hope dimmed like a
Burnt out flame
Couldn’t turn to you
Or explain
Why you left me there
In my pain
Heartbroken, cryin’
Out your name
I thought you’d save me
You Never came
I’ll never look at you the same
I’ll never look at you the same

VERSE 2

A broken me
Needed your touch
All shattered in pieces
You didn’t pick me up
You’re not the man
You claimed to be
I was slowly drowning
You stood by quietly

CHORUS

My hope dimmed like a
Burnt out flame
Couldn’t turn to you
or explain
Why you left me there
In my pain
Heartbroken, cryin’
Out your name
I thought you’d save me
You Never came
I’ll never look at you the same
I’ll never look at you …

BRIDGE

You caused the hurt
You own the blame
I’ll never look
At you the same

CHORUS

My hope dimmed like a
Burnt out flame
Couldn’t turn to you
or explain
Why you left me there
In my pain
Heartbroken, cryin’
Out your name
I thought you’d save me
You Never came
I’ll never look at you the same
Oh, I’ll never look at you the same
I’ll never look at you the same

Hanging Him Out to Dry

VERSE 1

My man messed up, caught him cheatin’ again
He should’a known I’d be seekin’ revenge
I forgave him once, but I was a fool
Now I’m doin’ what a girls gotta do
His worst nightmare is me speakin’ the truth

CHORUS

I could slash his tires, call up his Momma
Think I’ll raise holy hell, spark up some drama
Yeah, I’m doin’ what my gut’s tellin’ me is right
Airin’ all his dirty laundry tonight
He crossed that line, one too many times
So, I’m Hanging him out to dry…hanging him out to dry

VERSE 2

A little wine later, my phone’s set to rage
Those online haters, love somebody to hate
I’ll torch his name, ‘til he feels it burning
Karmas’s comin, in the pot I’m stirrin’
He’s in store for a whole lot of hurtin’

CHORUS

I could slash his tires, call up his Momma
Think I’ll raise holy hell, spark up some drama
Yeah, I’m doin’ what my gut’s tellin’ me is right
Airin’ all his dirty laundry tonight
He crossed that line, one too many times
So, I’m Hanging him out to dry

BRIDGE

I’m exposing him and all of his lies
His sins are goin’ public, I’m not lettin’ him hide

CHORUS

I think I’ll slash his tires, call up his Momma
Think I’ll raise holy hell, spark up some drama
Yeah, I’m doin’ what my gut’s tellin’ me is right
Airin’ all his dirty laundry tonight
He crossed that line, one too many times
So, I’m Hanging him out to dry
Oh… that’s right… hanging him out to dry
Hanging him out to dry…hanging him out to dry

I Met a Girl

Lyricist: Alisa Joy Claus

VERSE 1

Saw her at the bar
Through the neon haze
She was there sittin’
A barstool away
I knew forever
It was on my mind
Had to move closer
Before closin’ time

CHORUS 1

I met a girl
She had me knowin’
She was the one
I should be holdin’
Shot her a glance, earned me a chance
To make her my whole world
I met a girl

VERSE 2

Guess that same ole bar
Was a big mistake
Won’t step foot in that
Drown my sorrows place
She was playin’ me
Took me for a ride
Had her another
Wasted all my time

CHORUS 2

I met a girl
She left me lonely
She’s with some guy
He’s who she’s holdin’
He caught her glance
I had no chance
Looks like he’s her whole world
I met a girl

VERSE 3

I moved on over
To the next pit stop
Talked with someone else
Man, we hit it off
It’s lookin’ like love
I finally found
My bad luck streak, well
It turned right around

CHORUS 3

I met a girl
No longer lonely
I’m with the one
I oughtta be holdin’
She caught my glance
She took a chance
Yeah, things are great in my world
I met a girl

OUTRO

Yeah, things are great in my world
I met a girl… Yeah, I met a girl
