Track Name: Won't Be Too Long
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
Track Name: Everybody Knows
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
Track Name: Half Done
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
Track Name: Selfishly

But I want you next to me

Track Name: Still Chasing
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
Track Name: Raise the Sky
Raise the Sky
c.2010 David Ashley

Raise the sky
Wave all of your cares good bye now
Don't think twice
Just let go and fly high
Track Name: I See About You Now
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
Track Name: Run, Run
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
Track Name: Don't Look Down
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
Track Name: Rescue Me
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
Track Name: Ain't Gonna Matter
Ain’t Gonna Matter
c.2010 David Ashley and Dusty Hughes


You know I'm leavin'
Gonna leave it all behind
Yeah I'm bustin' those gates down
Where there’ll be no more cryin'

You know it ain't gonna matter now
'Cause I'm leavin' it all behind

Woke up this morning
Got trouble on my mind
Don't need all that trouble
All that trouble all the time

But it ain't gonna matter now
'Cause I'm leavin' trouble all behind

I'm goin’ down to the river
Wash my weary soul today
I'm goin’ down to the river
Wash my weary soul today

You know it ain't gonna matter now
Leave my troubles far away
Track Name: Shut Down
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
