Won't Be Too Long c.2010 David Ashley Walking on light Floating above the clouds Taking my time on my way home You know it won't be too long Before I see you again Tellin' no lies Speak only truth in love Hopin' for sweet chariot ride You know it won't be too long Before I see you again Loosin' my pride Making up for that lost time Winding down roads left behind You know it won't be too long Before I see you again

Selfishly c. 2010 David Ashley Drifting lightly on Sunday afternoon Like whispers in a dream I hear your voice and it takes my breath away Take another sip of tea Selfishly Tried to walk it all alone but now I see that It takes some better company I know you might have other things on your mind But I want you next to me Selfishly Rain comes, sunshine melts away Still filled with flattery, 'cause I'm Thinkin' there's no one here to see All the good you've done for me Selfishly

Half Done c.2010 David Ashley Ice caps gone a meltin' Lead some folk astray Preachin' 'bout a world disaster Peace Prize on display As I stand here barely breathin' With one foot in the grave I think you're half done Half done You know it's been a long, long run But ya'll half done Get back on your feet again Mercy me, I don't want to be half done Peakin' in my 40's Met my weaker soul One night I took on a 5th of whiskey Like I done before As I stand here barely breathin' With one foot in the grave I think I'm half done Half done You know it's been a long, long run but I'm only half done You'll soon say goodbye, everyone Mercy me, I don't want to be half done

Still Chasing c.2009 David Ashley I'm not sure why I still look to the sky for you Tired eyes I'm fading And I need a break through Just come down You wear me out You wear me down Swear you'll come tonight I'm waiting Can't you see the burning in my eyes After so much After so long Still chasing, chasing after you Then morning comes Nothing but clouds again Promises Dancing on a lover hoping Not giving up Stars in the sky tonight I'm dreaming now So, tell me when I wake it'll be all right

I See About You Now c.2010 David Ashley I shake the dust off my feet I walk away I hear a silent scream And it weighs me down And I see about you now I see about you now And I reached for the open sky You gave me empty handed lies You made me believe But I see about you now I see about you now And I'm way, way beyond Singing another lonely song Putting me back where I belong Feeling good You know I should 'Cause I see about you now Another day goes by Layored madness piled higher But I think I knew 'cause I see about you now I see about you now Consider all the scars Wearing trophies of who we are In His eyes And I see about you now I see about you now And I'm way, way beyond Singing another lonely song Putting me back where I belong Feeling good You know I should 'Cause I see about you now

Run, Run (This Time For Good) c.2009 David Ashley Run run As fast as you can my love Leave all your worries behind Cause I'm waiting to see you again I'm wanting to walk by your side This time for good Run, run Away from what's taunting you Leave all those wasted days behind Don't take one more breath of that tainted life Don't drink from the well of demise no more This time for good Run Run Take what you know is true Don't pack any baggage this time The weight of it all drags you down down Let go, lift your hands to the sky This time for good Run run As fast as you can my love Run Run Away from what's taunting you Run Run Into these open arms Run Run Lift your hands to the sky This time for good

Don't Look Down c.2010 David Ashley Dead man start to move his soul Said he found his destiny Showed me his book of freedom Marked up pages for me to read He said look it here boy Then he pounded on the cover Fiery eyes burnin' me Preachin' words of wisdom Said he wanted to set me free Then he looked me in the eyes said Don't you take too long In case you haven't heard son It's a long nasty fall Don't look down Money man think he got it make He's got his sandals in the shade He's lapping up his luxuries Thinks he got it made I say look it here boy Can't take your treasures to the grave Can't win your pearly gates Can't build this house on stacks of cash Can't make it home that way Now look me in the eyes say Can't take too long In case you haven't heard son It's a long nasty fall Don't look down

Rescue Me c.2010 David Ashley Walk that line Walk it tight It's a long road home Never known me to get it right Can't make it on my own Can't make it on my own Trouble come back Won't stay away Calling on my fears Clouds roll in, just begin To take me down again Take me down again But there ain't no way It's gonna get the best of me 'Cause God my Savior Gonna rescue, rescue me So I get my fate Faith in hand Though trouble here to stay Sight set on the promise land Though battles still a rage Battles still a rage Winding down Final days Don't rest until we in Pearly gates, streets o'gold No tears from suffering No more suffering Walk that line Walk it tight It's a long road home Winding down Final days Pearly gates, streets o'gold

Shut Down c.2009 David Ashley I’m working on shut down Kickin’ my shoes off Thinkin’ ‘bout rockin’ easy With my baby ‘Cause it’s swing time In a cool breeze Ain’t got no worries This is why I’m workin’ Workin’ on shut down I’m working on shut down Flippin’ that switch off Gonna crack a cold one Watch the sun set No more boss man No more runnin’ Ain’t got no worries This is why I’m workin’ Workin’ on shut down I’m working on shut down Kickin’ my shoes off Gonna crack a cold one Watch the sun set ‘Cause it’s swing time In a cool breeze Ain’t got no worries Shut Down Shut her down
