ALL THE WAY
(DREW YOWELL)
words & music: Drew Yowell and Ari Hest
An interesting footnote: I sang this with Ari Hest and James Maddock. Oddly, none of us were in the studio at the same... that's rock and roll.

Take each day as it comes 'cuz it will never be returned a moment savored is a moment earned my heart will know the way even if it gets turned any mistake is a lesson learned I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know what's black and white today turns into shades of grey shades of grey it's time to take my time no need to go to extremes the truth isn't always (the truth isn't always) what it seems I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know what's black and white today turns into shades of grey shades of grey I question everything answer to no one I don't need apporval my needy days are done I'm finding as I go the more I learn the less I know what's black and white today turns into shades of grey shades of grey shades of grey

MY WOUNDED CITY
(DREW YOWELL)
words and music: Drew Yowell
I wrote this song to be a touchstone, not just for me but for everyone who experienced the sense of loss...
~Drew
My Wounded City
last night I walked
where few can go
way down inside
the frozen zone
I saw the ruins
beneath the smoke
and I sensed the ghosts
of my wounded city
as I gazed up
at that dark sky
I said a prayer
for all mankind
while they dig deep
down into hell
it's just a shell
my wounded city
with every passing hour
they hung on tethered ropes
held out their darkest fears
for just one single hope
they never count the tears
they only count the souls
lost somewhere beneath
my wounded city
they turned these streets
into a shrine
they all joined hands
and formed a line
a line of faith
so pure and strong
I feel your loss
my wounded city
with every passing hour
they hung on tethered ropes
held out their darkest fears
for just one single hope
they never count the tears
they only count the souls
lost somewhere beneath
my wounded city
with every candle's burning light
there is proof that we unite
while boys and girls
lay in their beds
and dream of their fathers home again
we'll find the will
we will survive
we'll join our hearts
here side by side
I know someday
we'll find the strength
to rebuild
my wounded city
with every passing hour
we hang on tethered ropes
hold our their darkest fears
for just one single hope
we'll never count our tears
they only count the souls
lost somewhere beneath
our wounded city
someday we'll rise above
this wounded city...

BETWEEN THE LINES
(DREW YOWELL)
music: Drew Yowell words: Gina Yowell-Gerszberg Drew Yowell
Between The Lines I've been going along this highway sometimes I don't stay between the lines I keep asking the same old questions a thousand times how did I get here... and where do I go now I gotta find out what my purpose is somehow follow your chosen road find your light between the lines all my life I followed reason like those signs along that road but even signs can be misleading and then you're lost so I'm gonna go out tonite and find myself out there you can meet me if you want to but I'm not sure where I've gone through so many changes took chances I'll never regret but sometimes your last hope is your best bet looking for self assurance changing lanes from right to wrong pulling over to the shoulder but not for too long so I'm out here tonite where the road reaches into the sky come along if you want to just don't ever ask me why I go through so many changes take chances I'll never regret sometimes your last hope...is your best bet some nights the miles go by unnoticed and you look back on your past but like the lights in the rear view mirror life's approaching you fast follow your chosen road find your light between the lines

AIN'T GOT THE MIND
(DREW YOWELL)
words & music: Drew Yowell
I got a car I got a road I got a feeling I should let you know since you've been gone there's something left between us I got a habit of sleeping to long maybe it's 'cuz I'm sleeping alone I lie awake these nights thinking of all I've won and lost we all have dreams and some get bought and sold I've got a thing for you but your blood runs hot and cold I've got a heart that's busted open maybe it's worth it's weight in gold but I ain't got the mind to let you go I got a prayer I still got some hope but I feel like a boxer against the ropes I got a memory of you in my arms I'm holding onto I got an apartment I live in alone it's filled ith guitars and too many songs I got no regrets I settled my debts but it's been a long road we all have dreams and some get bought and sold I've got a thing for you but your blood runs hot and cold I've got a heart that's busted open maybe it's worth it's weight in gold but I ain't got the mind to let you go like a spirit that won't cross over a long lost wandering soul I keep stoking the dying embers that one burned out of control we all have dreams and some get bought and sold I've got a thing for you but your blood runs hot and cold I've got a heart that's busted open maybe it's worth it's weight in gold but I ain't got the mind no I ain't got the mind to let you go

COVERED IN MUD
(DREW YOWELL)
words & music: Drew Yowell and Ari Hest
COVERED IN MUD maybe we've run out of rope aiming too high and coming in low our love is tender and wrong never as strong as we thought it was when you break all the working parts and pile up enough false starts all you see from beneath is dark covered in mud covered in mud blurry, or lost from my view our innocent days the love that we knew lately, we're digging so deep trying to bury the past but our hands aren't clean when you're lost and you're far from home to somewhere the grass ain't growing that old storm comes to swallow you whole you'll be covered in mud covered in mud empty something is gone I don't wanna blame the fighting is done can we try to go back to an easier time when we knew what we had we can wait for the clouds to pass or the rain's gonna cover our path in a flood rising up too fast we'll be covered in mud covered in mud maybe we've run out of hope aiming too high and coming in low...

SET IN STONE
(DREW YOWELL)
words & music: Drew Yowell
SET IN STONE I wrangled all my courage I summoned all my strength a defiant journey into the unknown you think that I'd know better from living life this long to recognize a lie when it's been told let it go leave it all behind all my troubles pale in comparison to living in your lie where the promises lay empty on the bedroom floor what I've come to know nothing's set in stone I struggled with your silence stood vigil in my manor but through it all I never left your side but therein lies the danger of genuine intention where you find yourself falling from that climb let it go script it how you like starring in the role of unpredictable I'm studying your lines your water color memories only reveal more of what I've come to know that nothing's set in stone
