The Bee Keepers @ 2 Souls Wine Bar

Stuck in Between

He had some soul for a city boy
He was strumming his guitar in the streets of Illinois
Out on the corner as the people they passed he was
Playing some Johnny in exchange for some cash he was
Playing some Johnny in exchange for some cash

Twenty-two and he was something bad he was
Singing about heartache he’d never had
But he had a way to make those ladies blush he would
Give them a little but never too much he would
Give them a little but never too much

Living for nothing but to day he was
Breaking hearts and always forgetting names
But his old man said he needed the Lord
But he had some money in his pocket he wasn’t looking for anymore
had him some money in his pocket he wasn’t looking for anymore

My oh my he was living good he was
Playing his guitar making love when he could
Rich or poor he was stuck in between
And oh hells yeah he was living the dream
Oh hells yeah he was living the dream
Oh hells yeah he was living the dream

Freight Train

I’m on a freight train going nowhere falling off the deep end
It’s been a long day and getting louder all without a reason
See people talking it’s getting louder talking about the good Lord
Like it’s something worth believing but I can’t take it anymore

You say
You say
Whatever you say goes
You say
You say
Whatever you say goes

Stuck in the crossfire of the righteous telling me about how
I’m like the others stuck in the shadows searching for what they’ve found
See they’ve got answers for the hopeless but it ain’t all that easy
When on the freight train going nowhere

You say
You say
Whatever you say goes
You say
You say
Whatever you say goes

I’m on the freight train going nowhere
Falling off the deep end
I’m on the freight train going nowhere
Falling off the deep end
I’m on the freight train going nowhere
Falling off the deep end
I’m on the freight train going nowhere
Falling off the deep end

Second Chances

Fighting for second chances
I won’t live up to
Cause I’m nothing but something to you
Stuck in the same ways
We both know I’m bound to
Cause I’m nothing but something to you

I’m something you can’t hold onto
You’re the first thing I’ll always let go
cause heartbreak and loose ends
Is what I’m most bound to
Cause I’m nothing but something to you

I’m something you can’t hold onto
You’re the first thing I’ll always let go
Cause heartbreak and loose ends
And what it comes down to
I’m nothing but something
Oh I’m nothing but something
I’m nothing somehow something to you

Ghosts

We don’t talk much about my past
Keeping it light baby
Keeping it light while it lasts
And I’m a breath of fresh air I’m kind gentle soul
But I’ve got ghosts baby
I’ve got Ghosts staring to roam

I’ve got a trusting kind of face
Little bit of mischief
Little bit of warm embrace
And I’ve got lust in my words and love in my tone
But I’ve got ghosts baby
Nothing you need to know

Are you happy is this who you prefer
I’ve got ghosts I’ve got ghosts you know
Are you happy is this who you prefer
I’ve got ghosts I’ve got ghosts you know
Are you happy is this who you prefer
I’ve got ghosts I’ve got ghosts you know
Are you happy is this who you prefer

Are you happy is this who you prefer
I’ve got ghosts I’ve got ghosts you know
Are you happy is this who you prefer
I’ve got ghosts I’ve got ghosts you know
Are you happy is this who you prefer
I’ve got ghosts I’ve got ghosts you know
Are you happy is this who you prefer

Motorcycle Drive By

I drive by your house to prove I still know how
I tip my cap to those old roads
They knew i’d make my way back around
The weathered leaves of younger days
Still sleeping on the floor
Oh though they don’t concern themselves with me anymore
It’s nice to see they still fall

I’m haunting love down Water street
Digging up bones in the alley way
And I’m the Ghost in the harbor
Sailing by
Sailing by

A strangers smoke and my left unsaids
Share space inside my lungs
Oh one takes years away for itself
While the other one just holds on to some

Cause I’m haunting love down Water street
Digging up bones in the alley way
And I’m the Ghost in the harbor
Sailing by
Sailing by

The same wind that pulls me further away
Brings me healing
The only way that I feel close to you now
Is when I’m leaving

I’m haunting love down Water street
Digging up bones in the alley way
And I’m the Ghost in the harbor
Sailing by
On a ship that bares your name

Gone Gone Gone

Stuck between June and February
The seasons don’t seem so sure about themselves lately
And time don’t move quite like it used to
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone

Wrote a song about your worn out shoes
But it seems my fingers forgotten what it means to grove
My guitar don’t sound like it used to
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone

Found love for the night with a girl I knew
Can’t give her what she needs though I try hard to
My lips don’t kiss quite like they used to
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone

Telling secrets to an empty bottle
But the more I do the more I see it listens little by little
Whiskey don’t hit quite like it used to
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone

Fill my days trying hard to forget you
And I’ve been lying to myself saying it ain’t true
And I’ve been taking my time dying sloe
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone
Since you’ve been Gone Gone Gone Gone

Someday. Maybe Soon.

Somewhere along the road you’ll wish you had stayed
Someday you’ll wake up and realize that you were wrong
And I’ll be here sitting right where you left me
On the day you took all my love as I watched you move on

Someday maybe soon
You’ll come back around just like I always knew you would
So I’ll leave a light on for you at the door
So you can see that your keys don’t work here no more

Somewhere along the road I’ll bet that you miss me
Someday you’ll wake up and realize that you ain’t that strong
And when you close your eyes and my face is the only thing you see
I’ll be here when you’re ready to admit you were wrong

Someday maybe soon
I’ll come back around and you’ll realize you once had it good
So don’t leave a light on for me at the door
Cause I ain’t got a use for those keys anymore

Somewhere along the road I’m sure that you’ll need me
*Keep telling yourself what you need
Someday you’ll reach for my hand when you’re feeling alone
*I’m doing just fine on my own
When the roads inside your mind they all lead back to me
*I’ve got everything that I need
Is the day that you walk hand in hand with your senses back home

Someday maybe soon
You’ll come back around just like I always knew you would
*I’ll come back around and you’ll realize you once had it good
So I’ll leave a light on for you at the door
*So don’t leave a light on for me at the door
So you can see that your keys don’t work here no more
*Cause I ain’t got a use for those keys anymore
So you can see that your keys don’t work here
*Cause I ain’t got a use for those keys
No more
*No more
