Long Road
(Written by S. Trainor, 2015)
Some say I’m a fool, some say I’m a dreamer
I don’t really care about that
Dreams are made of fools and fools take chances
And I don’t care if you call me that
Get up in the morning, feel the world turning
I pack my car and I go
Where the road takes me, is where my soul breaks me
And where I’m headed, nobody knows
CHORUS
There’ll be dark clouds on that horizon
A long road that seems to lead to nowhere
Well dark clouds have a silver lining
A Long Road paved with gold
Well I’ve got holes in my pockets and holes in my shoes
It breaks my heart just to break the news
I’d rather strum a guitar and carry my scars
And hear the voice of my beautiful muse
(CHORUS)
Oh I need a place I can breathe
Oh I need a place I can grow
Don’t want to call it home
Don’t want to call it home
Don’t want to call it home
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I have a girl who can show me the world
With every smile she takes
And lift me up to the gates of heaven
And make me sin at the end of the day
(CHORUS)

Sunsets and Silhouettes
(Written by S. Trainor, 2015)
You don’t know how much you shine
But I can see it when I look into your eyes
A diamond shining in a city of stone
Dirt roads turn into interstates
Pave the way past our mistakes
Lean back let the world pass you by
As the sun fades down on this little town
Maybe we can take the night
CHORUS
Baby we can lay down
Let’s get tangled up in the sheets
Don’t you know how love sounds?
Don’t you know what’s in our reach?
Baby we can bet, bet, bet, bet
This is something we won’t forget
Sunsets and Silhouettes
I’ll fall into you as you fall into me
Baby we can make another memory
Tonight, let me break into your broken heart
As the sun fades down on an empty sky
Place your hand on mine
(CHORUS)
I want to make you smile for a little while
Just tell me what to do
Even after I leave, one promise I’ll keep
I’m never giving up on you
(CHORUS)

Peter Pan’s Growing Old
(Written by S. Trainor, 2014)
I was barely three,
Sitting on his knee out on the front porch
Fairy tales and storybooks,
Dashing tales of Captain Hook and Peter Pan
And he’d say, “Second star to the right
And straight on ‘til morning light”
CHORUS
And we flew high in the tales that he told
And sail on ships, searching for lost gold
Time stood still down in Never NeverLand
But Peter Pan’s growing old
Peter Pan’s growing old
Well we moved down south,
To a better car and a bigger house in Carolina
Grandpa would visit every year
Once he gave me my first beer out on the back porch
And he’d say, “Second star to the right
And straight on ‘til morning light”
(CHORUS)
Well it was in late November
That he took his final breath
He was smiling as he said
“I lived a good life, with my kids and my wife
and death is an awfully great adventure”
Now I’m 22 years old
And he is nothing but a ghost
Watching over me
If you can see a man in me
When you look into my eyes
He’s the reason why
(CHORUS)

Tar Heel Road
(Written by S. Trainor, 2015)
They call me Hayes T. Witherford
I was born in the hills of Richmond in 1834
I left home when I was 16 with everything I owned
Headed down south to find the Tar Heel Road
The States divided sometime in ’61,
I took to the shipyard, instead of fighting with a gun,
On the western rivers and cold Cumberland lines
I bathed in tar, pitch and turpentine
And I built the ship that withstood the rain
From the coast of Savannah, to the wave rocks in Maine
And wherever I went, wherever I roamed
I was stuck here in the Tar Heel Road
Oh at night I would dream of the West Country sky
And the visions it would cast in the Carolina night
Down near the Tar Heel Road
Tomorrow’s horizons, the rebel calls
The warm western wind that carried it all
Oh I’m running with a heavy load
But I’m stuck in the Tar Heel Road
I met a gypsy girl on a mountainside
A Cherokee beauty, selling animal hides
We danced in a river ‘til the dawn approached
Then headed back to camp near the Tar Heel Road
But there are some things
That will never change
Like what people think and what they find strange
So we packed our bags and we left our home
Swore we’d never come back to Tar Heel Road
Oh at night we would dream of the West Country sky
And the visions it would cast in the Carolina night
Out by the Tar Heel Road
Tomorrow’s horizons, the rebel calls
The warm western wind that carried it all
Oh we’re running with a heavy load
Far away from the Tar Heel Road
But as we crossed that state line
A rebel troop took us alive
They hung us up, in a tall oak tree
And that’s where I died, swinging high in the breeze
Say Goodbye to the dreams in the West Country sky
And the visions it would cast in the Carolina night
Down near the Tar Heel Road
Tomorrow’s horizons, the rebel calls
The warm western wind that carried it all
Oh I’m running with a heavy load
Like all the stories that go untold
The ones that run deep, deep in the soul
And that’s how I died on the Tar Heel Road
Sometimes at night when the west wind blows
You can hear my voice beneath the Tar Heel Road

Oh Say Can You See?
(Written by S. Trainor, 2013)
Late December, early light
Praying to God that I’m alright
Oh they put a rifle in my hand
Shipped me to a dirty, foreign land
I lay my head on the cold hard ground
I close my eyes and cast these demons out
Try to separate the wrong from right
Cause man I ain’t got strength tonight
CHORUS
Oh say can you see,
This flag’s not waving in the breeze
Oh beautiful skies
Once filled with amber, and now filled with cries
Oh say can you see
Well my grandpa fought in World War Two
And never said too much about the hell that he went through
He’d say, “Freedom always comes with a price
Don’t ask who’s getting paid tonight”
(CHORUS)
Peace on earth never sounded so wrong
If the things we do to win this war,
Tear us from what we’ve been dying for
(CHORUS)
Late December, early light
Hope that I make it through the night

Wonderfully Made- from TLC’s Answered Prayers
(Written by S. Trainor, 2013)
The storm is coming now
So hide yourself in the sand
The wind might knock you down
But you can choose where to stand
There’s perfect in every imperfect day
‘Cause you were wonderfully made
The thought that you might fail
May kill the chance you succeed
You could live behind a veil
And lose the chance to be free
And there’s strength in the times when strength has strayed
‘Cause you were wonderfully made
And when the road is dark,
I’ll be there to hold you
And when you’ve had enough,
I’ll be there to hold you
Oh you have been wonderfully made
Oh you have been wonderfully made
There’s times when love will come
And times when love will fade
And times when you’re on your knees
So trust that you find the way
Have faith in the times when you’re afraid
‘Cause you were wonderfully made

She’s The Only One I Want To Hold
(Written by S. Trainor, 2013)
Open the window my dear
And let the sunlight appear
Seasons will come and seasons will go
And she’s the only one I want to hold
Come lay down and rest
And put your head on my chest
We can stay here until we grow old
‘Cause she’s the only one I want to hold
Oh she’s a sanctuary sacred and pure
So hypnotizing, so hard to endure
Breathe out my love, breathe out my love, breathe out
She had questions about her life
Who’s God, who’s man, who’s wrong, who’s right?
Well it’s better off to leave some things untold
‘Cause she’s the only one I want to hold
Oh how the sun just lies on her face
I rise in the morning, just to watch her as she wakes
Breathe out my love, breathe out my love, breathe out
Big brown eyes, yeah they’re something to see
When she walks in the room, I can hardly breathe
Well she could do better than me, or at least I’m told
But I’m the only one she wants to hold
I’m the only one she wants to hold
I’m the only one she wants to hold

Love Will Find A Way
(Written by S. Trainor, 2014)
Well everyone’s complaining
About working through the week
Saying I don’t make enough money
I don’t get enough sleep
But when it comes down to it
We’re all looking for the same thing
We’re looking for a brighter day
Looking for love to find a way
Well baby if you want more
Simply expect less
Free your mind from worry
Let your heart do the rest
Forgive the ones who hurt you
Pain’s not worth it in the end
Keep looking for a brighter day
I’m talking about love will find a way
And when the waters rise around you
You gotta hold yourself high, and sing
CHORUS
Love will find a way
Through it all we’re gonna make a brighter day
Love will find a way
‘Cause we need something to believe in
To see the light of day
I believe love will find a way
Love will find a way, yeah
Me I’ve always been a dreamer
I hate getting out of bed
And I’m tired of singing love songs
That I made up in my head
If faith is just believing
Then why aren’t I receiving?
I keep looking for a brighter day
I’m looking for love to find a way
When the waters rise around me
I’m hold my head high, and sing
(CHORUS)
So let the waters fall, let the waters fall down
So let the waters fall, let the waters fall down
So let the waters fall let the waters fall down (X3)
(CHORUS)

Highway Rider
(Written by S. Trainor, 2015)
I’m sitting down here by the highway side
Nothing but time on my hands
Cars rushing down Route 35
And tail lights shining in your eyes
I’ve left behind every seed I’ve sown
Hidden in every red dirt field
But there are somethings I have not been shown
And I don’t want to ride this road alone
CHORUS
Baby take the wheel
‘Cause this road is hard to travel
And I know that it’s put miles on our hearts
I need some rest
Oh you make the days move easy
We need some place, that we can call our home
Oh we’re highway riders
I’ll wash my hands of all my sins
And say goodbye to this child
I’ll turn the radio up and let a song pour in
Then let it drift off in the wind
Oh it doesn’t matter where we go
As long as I have you to hold
So I’ll roam with you under the red plain clouds
For as long as all this roaming’s allowed
(CHORUS)
I’m sitting down here by the highway side
Nothing but time on my hands
