    Wolves

    Got my money on that old, blind horse
    She can’t see, but she knows the course
    I know some people that have seen it all
    Yet their hearts beat behind walls

    I’m tough enough to run with the bulls
    Yet I’m too gentle to live amongst wolves

    I came for passion, I came for the truth
    The sweat and the blood and the piss and the proof
    I know some people who are so smart
    Yet they build pillars around their hearts

    I’m tough enough to run with the bulls
    Yet I’m too gentle (mmmm) to live amongst wolves, Oh!

    Where Ever I Go

    – Sweet darlin’ I must leave
    There’s much I haven’t seen
    Though I long for home
    My shoes are much too clean
    Headed south to ease my restlessness
    And carry you with me where ever I go

    If wish I had a tree
    I must first plant the seed
    I’ll sow on every turn
    With fake sweat I bleed
    Headed west to ease my restlessness
    And carry you with me where ever I go

    I’ve heard stories around the fire
    of pathways dressed in gold
    From these tales on far
    These I wish to hold
    Headed north to ease my restlessness
    And carry you with me where ever I go

    So when I make my journey back
    Full of hunger and unrest
    There’s nothing more I need
    Than the comfort of our nest
    Headed back east to ease my loneliness
    And carry you with me where ever I’ve gone

    Cause I thought of you leaving, the day I left

    Anywhere You Go

    We breathe the same air, we bask in the same sun,
    We sleep under the same moon
    And the rain that falls on the ground, it’s the same, anywhere you go
    And the color of fire is the same,

    Anywhere you go

    We thirst, we hunger, we long, we desire, we want to feel like we count
    And the way it feels when you are loved, is the same anywhere you go
    And the way a heart breaks is the same,

    Anywhere you go

    And even though we live in different parts of the world
    We all began the same way
    And even though we believe in different things,
    We’re somehow the same cause we laugh and we cry
    We dream and we hope, we fall, we rise again
    We love and we hate, we fight and we make up
    We’re somehow the same

    Anywhere you go

    Call It Heaven

    You don’t know
    You don’t know
    Well you don’t know just what you left
    Well you left your heart in my chest

    You don’t know
    Yeah you don’t know
    Yeah you don’t know just what you are
    Well you’re the sky without a star

    Well babe it’s building ’til it’s bound to burst
    I can’t forget I’ve been the best of your worst
    We’ll call it heaven but it’s hell on earth
    Lucky us she’s a curse

    Well babe it’s building ’til it’s bound to burst
    I can’t forget I’ve been the best of your worst
    We’ll call it heaven but it’s hell on earth
    Lucky us she’s a curse

    You don’t know
    Yeah you don’t know
    Yeah you don’t know just what you’ve been
    Well you sure look a lot like him

    Well you don’t know
    Yeah you don’t know, know
    Yeah you don’t know just what you were
    Well I’m halfway there (but you’re not her)

    Lyrics

    You wouldn’t know by looking at me
    I am a cowboy, my friend
    I’m forever out riding on the range of my mind
    Dreamin’ away all of my time
    Cattle calls and canyon walls
    The jangle of spurs
    At the light of dawn put the saddle on
    Start movin’ the herd

    The distant horizons are a glorious sight
    And there’s gettin’ lost in the milky way at night
    Ooh, ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    I got a lightening lasso and my trusty horse Blue
    I’ve got a six-shooter too
    I have an ol’ Stetson hat and shaggy moustache
    Yes, I’m at home on the range

    Tumbleweed and buffalo
    The rivers run wild
    Sunset over rollin’ hills
    Ghost rider sky
    A campfire song left me feelin’ just right
    Yeah, I’m gettin’ lost in the milky way tonight

    Down on sidewalk life passes me by
    I’ve been too slow for these times
    But now you’ll be knowin’, if you look in my eyes
    I’m a cowboy ‘neath faraway skies
    Ooh, ooh, yip-ye-yeah-yeah
    I’m a cowboy ‘neath faraway skies

    Stills
