I Wanna Run
Kevin Fisher
We were lying in the clover
Under clouds talking over
Should we go a little slower
In our lives
I was worried about the racing
The choosing and the chasing
The fences that we’re facing
In our lives
She said you think too hard
Don’t stop before you start, cuz
I wanna run, I wanna fly
I wanna live before I die
I wanna see what I can see
And I want you here with me
We’re all born to run until
Every heart has had it’s fill
So before the final setting of the sun
I wanna run
We were chasing butterflies
We had rainbows in our eyes
But the daily hows and whys
Were on my mind
So she comforted with kisses
That were dark and delicious
I laughed and said now this is
On my mind
She smiled at me and said
Before we all are dead
CHORUS
CHORUS
We were lying in the clover
Under clouds talking over
Should we go a little slower
In our lives

My Beautiful Tattoo
Kevin Fisher
It starts with a grimace, ends with a grin
I watch as the needle pierces my skin
Youthful defiance in black and blue
My beautiful tattoo
A sign of rebellion under my sleeve
Makes good people happy whenever I leave
It moves with my muscles as time passes through
My beautiful tattoo
And it's there when I fall in love
Yeah, it's there as my kids grow up
Though it fades a couple shades
Every year
Well I can’t hardly see it on the day I retire
But it burns in my memory like a gasoline fire
A lifelong companion, Lord knows there are few
Like my beautiful tattoo
And it's there as my breath runs out
Yeah, it’s there when they lay me down
But when I rise, oh it shines like the sun
And when I see Saint Peter, he says, “Hey man, that’s cool.
I wonder if I could get one just like you”
I say, “No, not unless you can walk in my shoes”
Like I had to
For my beautiful tattoo
My beautiful tattoo

Twenty Years From Now
I know the world goes round
But I don’t feel it spin
So I just trust the sun
Is gonna rise again
I say my prayers at night
Believe that dreams come true
Twenty years from now
I hope that I still do
I know that I am young
Compared to all the stars
I’ve got a lot of life to work through
I know that love can hurt
But in my heart of hearts
I believe in me
I believe in you
Twenty years from now
I hope that I still do
I open up my eyes
As the morning breaks
I know the day will bring
A couple new mistakes
From either joy or pain
I’ll dry a tear or two
Twenty years from now
I hope that I still do
CHORUS
I won’t know if I’m on track
Until I find I’m looking back
CHORUS

Making Love
Kevin Fisher/Lauren Black
From raising Cain to raising kids
Doing less of what we did
Back in the days when we were young
Now there’s little feet on hardwood floors
Running through our bedroom door
Jumping on us saying get up
Time flies when you’re having sons and daughters
Being mothers and fathers
We’re making more than a life, we’re
Making love
Making love
If we can keep it all together
I can’t think of nothing better
Than making what the world needs more of
Making love
This world’s a complicated place
An endless hunt, a constant chase
For things that nobody really wants
So let’s turn off the talking heads
Spend some time just us instead
Be thankful for the things we’ve got
Time flies when you’re running through sprinklers
Tucking in little tiny dreamers
Maybe there’s time after all, for
CHORUS
Time flies and I don’t want to miss it
And find myself wishing
That I’d done things different, cuz it’s all about
CHORUS

I Still Hope
I don't have a lot of faith
In where we are in this human race
I'm not sure we're heading for
A braver world, a better place
I'm afraid that we might hang ourselves
Lord knows that we’ve got the rope
But against my better judgment I still hope
I hope my kids will see one day
A world where all kids laugh and play
And no one has to be afraid
Anymore
Where soldiers all put down their weapons
We’re happy for each other’s blessings
Chances are slim I know
But I still hope
I hope all hungry hearts are fed
That sleepy eyes all find a bed
I know I might be saying things
That everyone’s already said
But I’ll say it till I lose my voice
If saying something makes it so
And justifies the reason I still hope
CHORUS
Call me a dreamer
I’m not the only one
To hope my kids will see one day
A world where all kids laugh and play
And no one has to be afraid
Anymore
Where soldiers all put down their weapons
And finally we all learn our lessons
Chances are slim I know
But I still hope
Chances are slim I know
But I still hope

Inside Out

Inside Out
I didn’t know a thing about who you were
You coulda been left a question unanswered
But I had a feeling this was gonna go well
Call it a spiritual connection
Call it the luck of the draw
But when I was looking your direction
This is what I saw
You’re beautiful inside, outside
You are like sunlight
You shine bright
You turn my world upside down I
Can’t live, I won’t try
Without you now
You’re beautiful inside out
So I took a chance and I trusted life
When I sat down beside you underneath the sky
Cuz I had a feeling this was gonna go well
Some people say there’s no such thing as
Falling in love at first sight
But no heart has ever fallen this fast
Staring into somebody’s eyes
CHORUS
Oh oh the future’s untold
But oh oh there’s one thing I know
CHORUS
You’re beautiful inside
You’re beautiful outside
You’re beautiful

Count Your Spoons
Kevin Fisher/Reagan Johnson/Amy Johnson
Crazy Carol came over for Christmas
To spend a couple days with us
Whole family was happy to see her
When she got off the bus
She did her time
Looks like she's doing fine now
She got caught in a grocery store
Stealing food to feed her kids
Judge said yeah, that might be right
But that's not all she did
She filled her arms
With needle marks
Everybody needs a second chance, that’s where we come in
To love the sinner but not the sin
She might steal a few possessions and lie about the truth
But here's what our preacher said to do
Count your blessings but count your spoons
Some people have souls with holes
That tend to get filled up
With bones of bad decisions
Instead of hope and love
Wrong or right
That's been Carol's life
Well, those couple days we took her in
Became a couple months
Now she’s fighting to get her kids back
Going to church with us
Too soon to say
If she’s found her way now
CHORUS
Everybody’s one mistake away from doing time
Behind some bars, or the prison of our mind
Nobody born ever gets a guarantee
What’s true for you is true for me
CHORUS
Always be a blessing
But don’t forget to count your spoons

At Our House

At Our House
The washing machine is running
There's supper in the oven
The kids are doing nothing
But being kids
There’s hopscotch chalk on the driveway
The distance hum of the highway
Owns me Monday through Friday
But the truth is
At our house
There’s a time machine that we all get in at our house
It takes us where we can breath the air at our house
Where family’s first and love lasts and the future learns from the past
And we try to be happy with what we have
At our house
Maybe I’m just lucky
To find someone who loves me
Who wanted to start a family
Well I don’t know
But either way I count my blessings
Cuz I must have learned my lessons
If this place ain’t heaven
It’s awfully close
At our house
There’s a backyard swing the kids get in at our house
And Maple trees grow memories at our house
Where family’s first and love lasts and the future learns from the past
And we try to be happy with what we have
At our house everything’s alright
At our house we talk it out at night
At our house when people fight
They fight with words
Nobody gets hurt
Time goes in reverse
At our house
Solo
At our house
There’s gonna be sweet goodbyes and teary eyes at our house
When the kids have left an empty nest at our house
Where family’s first and love lasts and the future learns from the past
And we try to be happy with what we have
At our house everything’s alright
At our house we like to talk at night
At our house when people fight
They fight with words
Nobody gets hurt
Time goes in reverse

Grateful
Kevin Fisher/Kevin Savigar
Our eight year old’s in second grade and we love her teacher
So last Friday night we had her over for dinner
First time we talked about something other than education
We learned where she’s from and what she’s done
Her favorite radio station
And when the night was over
As she was walking out the door
What a beautiful house she said
What a beautiful life you have
You got healthy kids
Lord, what I wouldn't give
You got food enough to fill up your table
I hope you’re grateful and that you’re able
To keep life simple and stay faithful
I hope you’re grateful
Said she was married at twenty one to her best friend and the love of her life
Looked forward to having kids and being a loving wife
Ah, but fate throws curves you don't deserve and it ended all too soon
Still she's thankful she gets a heart full of kids September to June
But the words she spoke that evening
Were still hanging in the air
CHORUS
Now late at night
My wife and I
Look around at the world we've made
And this little house
Feels like a mansion now
And we're thankful every day
For the beautiful house we have
And a beautiful life we live
We're a family
And that's all we need
We tell our kids when we hold hands 'round the table
I hope you’re grateful and that you’re able
To keep life simple and stay faithful
I hope you’re grateful
I hope you’re grateful

So Go
You got one shot to live this life
It’s all you got so get it right
You got two feet to carry you
So do what you gotta
Do what you gotta do
Do what you gotta do
On your mark, get ready, are you ready?
On your mark get ready set
Go go, give it your all
If you take a fall get up start over
Go go, make your own way
Every single day you’re a little bit closer
Everybody’s born to grow
So go oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Go oh oh oh oh oh
Never give up, you got one shot, don’t stop
Every dark cloud is silver lined
That’s what I’ve found every time
I look up and see the sky
That’s why we’re born to
Why we’re born to
Why we’re born to fly
On your mark, get ready
Are you ready?
On your mark get ready set
Go go, give it your all
If you take a fall get up start over
Go go, make your own way
Every single day you’re a little bit closer
Everybody’s born to grow (more than anybody knows )
So go oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Go oh oh oh oh oh
Never give up, you got one shot, don’t stop
