"Always Hear You" Lyrics by D.R. Welch Music by David John Wellnitz Arrangement by Heels To The Hardwood Passing on dollars While living on dimes Waiting on love To come down the line Feels like endless roads Where's the money gonna come from Where's the money gonna come from Where's the money gonna come from Where's the money gonna come from Where's the money gonna come from Feel your strings from your past Weighing heavy on your chest Not gonna let you give up You're gonna finish what you love Change your strings Start a new band Ready your voice Steady your hand Brother play for me I will hear, always hear you Always hear you, always hear you, always hear you, always hear you Spent three years waiting on a ghost Come and show you what you already know To appear in your dreams Come and show you what you've already seen So for now forget the radio You're gonna sing along to your songs and your soul So for now forget the radio They're gonna sing along to your songs and your soul Your brother never left us He just a stopped coming around Your brother never left us He just a stopped coming around Who needs a tiny violin When you got a big bad guitar Who needs a tiny violin When you got a big bad guitar Always hear you...

Pocket Knife 04:26
"Pocket Knife" Song written by David John Wellnitz Arrangement by Heels To The Hardwood Plaid skirt doesn't understand why This keeps happening in her life Knocked back by life's hurdles Year by year, day by day Just getting harder Them ditches they're just getting wider Well she better learn How to untie her ties Or buy herself a pocket knife To cut cut, cut away All these memories that keep binding us, everyday These memories that keep binding us, time to break away Patty doesn't feel too accomplished Working world instead of college Everyday stands on this stage Singing down to you You know her three boys won't disobey, her DNA Three boys won't disobey, her DNA Sean's got a new career Yeah talks about it everywhere I hope that someday to be successful as him You know my dreams change on the year Hope you don't think I'm weird That a six strings, a lonely road is a tie worth tying I better learn how to untie my ties How to untie my ties Or buy myself a pocket knife To cut cut, cut away All these memories that keep binding us, everyday These memories that keep binding us, time to break away

"On Our Own" Song written by David John Wellnitz Arrangement by Heels To The Hardwood Please stop dragging this along You can't find the right then it must be wrong Two years since your mind's been gone No more excuses, what is done is done No more excuses, what is done is done 'Cause we'll be fine on our own Grown strong learned I've to balance alone No need to worry i've done this all before Can't find the real in your fake anymore Now it's known there's more then you to blame Well I guess your mind's just better at this game Now if you decide to stay Start putting the time, that you claim Start putting the time, that you claim 'Cause we'll be fine on our own Grown strong learned I've to balance alone No need to worry i've done this all before Can't find the real in your fake anymore We'll be fine on our own Grown strong learned to balance alone No need to worry i've done this all before Can't find the real in your fake anymore Can't find the real Can't find the real Can't find the real Can't find the real

Cinderella 03:20
"Cinderella" Song written by David John Wellnitz Arrangement by Heels To The Hardwood If its a game that you playing You're losing at If its fame that you're seeking You picked the right path Frame that you're searching There's comfort in that If it's a name worth leaving Better check the math Green is the grass you're searching for An easier path you're hoping for There's a friendship for sale now who will pay more There's loyalty lost long before Your decision of walking through the door Your decision of walking through the door Your egos wings are fully grown Free to wonder out on your own Now place upon your plastic crown You're no Cinderella just wearing the gown You're a black shadow creeper waiting to jump ship Your next review about what is hip Now go towards the lights along the strip Realize that you're blocking the shot of where you're attached at the hip Your decision of walking through the door Your decision of walking through the door

Lake City 04:43
"Lake City" Song written by David John Wellnitz Arrangement by Heels To The Hardwood In two days I'm leaving There's nothing holding me Except some friends And a little family Whoo hoo hoo ...On my way Got to find a new Lake City One closer to my dreams Filled with head shots And a networking Whoo hoo hoo ...On my way Our last voice vibration Made me think Seems like your problems Are like a bottomless sink Don't let me come back easy Don't let me come back, come back Don't let me come back easy Don't let me come back, come back Whoo hoo hoo ...On My Way
