Catawissa

Slow down I’m losing myself.
Can’t hear the words in my mouth.
The river’s frozen over
In Catawissa.
Pass the sign for Mystic Mountain,
We’ll grab coffee by the fountain.
There’s an old opera house
In Catawissa.
Music box, tired eyes, silver trees, cloudy skies
River bends filled with ice
Engine shakes, I’m alive
I drive to go past 17820
One my way to go past 17820
I’m Doing okay and that’s good enough for me
Window’s fogging up, I can hardly see
Winding roads never sleep
Past Catawissa.
I’m almost there, just a couple miles away.
North on 81, I can hardly wait.
To get to you, just gotta pass
Catawissa.
Music box, tired eyes, silver trees, cloudy skies,
Mountain ranges filled with ice,
Engine shakes, I’m alive
I drive to go past 17820
On my way to go past 17820
I drive to go past
Catawissa.

In The Summer

Step on the brakes, before I fall down.
My hands start to shake, my heads spinning around
Oh, you keep it in so well.
How do you do it?
These days, the train don’t bother me anymore.
I can’t stay awake, my body sinks into the floor
But you keep your head up
And just keep walking
If I were more like you, I think I’d be better at this.
But it's tiring trying to be the optimist.
I’d try to wake up early, give up, and go back to bed.
I’d sing the song that we always had stuck in our head.
I’d probably be on my way,
But I didn’t know you then.
I’d feel like Ethan Moore on a runner’s high.
With lightning and thunder, crying out to Stevie Wonder,
Now the ship’s sinking under,
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the
Winter came too soon.
Looks like she went back down to hell.
You’re fascinated by the moon,
From the view of this small town.
If only I could share your wonder.
Maybe I won't get burned out.
But I won’t know unless I stop,
Always trying to figure out,
How to write my tears into a song.
But I’ll always have you to write about.
If I were more like you, I think I’d be better at this.
But I get distracted by the mountain in the mist.
I’d try to wake up early, give up, and go back to bed.
I’d sing the song that we always had stuck in our head.
I’d probably be on my way,
But I didn’t know you then.
I’d feel like Ethan Moore on a runner’s high.
With lightning and thunder, crying out to Stevie Wonder,
Now the ship’s sinking under,
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the
I’d try to wake up early, give up, and go back to bed.
I’d sing the song that we always had stuck in our head.
I’d probably be on my way,
But I didn’t know you then.
I’d feel like Ethan Moore on a runner’s high.
With lightning and thunder, crying out to Stevie Wonder,
Now the ship’s sinking under,
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.
Cause I didn’t know you in the summer.

Song About Home

Tiny town, quiet streets
Friday night, home team beat
Feel the godlight weighing down on me.
I’m just trying to get some sleep.
Say goodbye to friends who’ve gone.
Mom and Dad still get along.
And their son with his small town songs
Keep smiling cause the days are long.
And I won’t forget my roots,
Or the house I grew up in,
Where my dog ate her food.
Tiny town across the sea
Brand new place, who will you be?
The train roars by as he sleeps.
In his heart, his home he keeps.
Sells his guitars for a meal
Keep holding on, Lord be here.
The chess game never finished, board cleared.
Tread the hell made his home here
And he didn’t forget his roots,
Or the house he grew up in
When his dad was there too.
I don’t know much, this much I do,
This tiny town, the two of you,
The church on the hill, the skies of blue,
I need to work on loving myself too.
And I won’t forget my roots,
Or the house I grew up in
With the love that I knew.

If I could I’d leave it all behind
Just to be here with you tonight.
Baby take my hand and hold it tight.
My, my
I won’t let you go of me.
Just be here and give me company.
We are right where we want to be,
You and I
And we’ll dance the night away.
Cause darling oh I’m here to stay.
We can dance ‘till the night gets low,
You and I
And we’ll swing under the stars.
We don’t have to go very far.
Baby there's no need to talk,
Cause we’re dancing on the boardwalk.
Dancing on the boardwalk
The moonlight is getting low.
So, baby hold me tight and take it slow.
I want you to love me and don’t let go
Oh oh
I said girl, just look me in the eyes.
I promise I’ll stay here with you tonight.
We can dance until the sunrise,
You and I
And we’ll dance the night away.
Cause darling oh I’m here to stay.
We can dance ‘till the night gets low,
You and I
And we’ll swing under the stars.
We don’t have to go very far.
Baby there's no need to talk,
Cause we’re dancing on the boardwalk.
Dancing on the Boardwalk
And we’ll dance the night away.
Cause darling oh I’m here to stay.
We can dance ‘till the night gets low,
You and I
And we’ll swing under the stars.
We don’t have to go very far.
Baby there's no need to talk,
Cause we’re dancing,
We’re dancing
We’re dancing, oh
Dancing on the boardwalk
Dancing on the boardwalk
Dancing on the boardwalk
Dancing on the boardwalk
Ooooo.
