TITLE: ON THE ROAD
Music and Lyrics by Tom Eaton, copyright 2014
---------------------------------
On the road, on the road
i drive everyday
On the road, on the road
on the highway's where i stay
i make my living
pushing peddles to the floor
but to tell you the truth
i don't dig living on the road anymore
on the road, on the road
i dig that railroad sound
on the road, on the road
i just can't settle down
don't carry baggage
i hear consumption's a disease
when i tell em that i'm leaving man
it seems like all i hear is pretty please
on the road, on the road
i slow down once in a while
on the road, on the road
when i miss your gentle smile
when times aren't sunny
i can always go back
but for now i'm pretty happy here
living in this two room country shack
on the road, on the road, on the road (repeat)

TITLE: Hurtin' Just The Way
Music & Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
-------------------------------------------
Sometimes i sit and think about
moments spent together
those memories weigh heavy on my mind
but now it seems i've figured out
you loved me not no never
yeah lately i think i must have been blind
i'm hurtin' just the way you wanted all along
the image of your face brings me to tears
hurting' just the way you wanted me to dear
you left me girl it's been so many years
so now it seems that you've come back to hurt me once again
you think i don't know where you are at night
your love is like a hear attack it strikes just once and then
you'd rob me of my soul in broad day light
i'm hurting' just the way you've taken all i had
this emptiness is all your heart contains
hurting just the way you wanted me to dear
this kind of love can drive a man insane
sometimes i dream you'll leave again
and take this all away
it's funny how you play these tricks on me
you tell me that you're my best friend
every single day
and every night i pray you'll set me free
i'm hurtin' just the way you wanted all along
the image of your face brings me to tears
hurting' just the way you wanted me to dear
you left me girl it's been so many years

TITLE: She Rides The Train
Music & Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
-------------------------------------------------------------
I met a woman
she was runnin' from something again
she was a good one
but i don't recall her name
as i sat between her and the window
i looked at her straight in the eye
and something about her was different
and i knew what it was that i liked
she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone
we started talking
both of us telling our lies
she was a woman
lookin' for some other guy
but i could tell by the way she was talkin'
i could see by the look in her eye
that she ain't gonna find nobody tonight
and she knew it as well as I
so she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone
i could tell she was special
the standard rules didn't apply
no something was different
taken away from her life
her happiness seemed like a memory
and she can't catch a train to get back
there was something attached to her heart
and it keeps pulling her down the track
so she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone
yeah she rides the train
and she rides it late at night
she rides the train
cause it makes her feel alright
she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone
buy me a ticket
you can throw all my things in the street
cause i need to find her
won't you please get me back to that seat?
i guess i know just how she feels
searching far and wide
for something she desperately needed
but never would find in her life
so she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone
yeah she rides the train
and she rides it late at night
she rides the train
and it makes her feel alright
she rides the train, all alone
she rides the train, all alone

TITLE: THE GOOD TIME BRAND
Music and Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
---------------------------------------------------
They used to make a pretty good brand of liquor
for a pretty good price at my corner store
but i found out today that they took my brand away
they don't make the good time brand no more
my old brand of whiskey came with friends
and we raised a glass to times that never end
but back then we were young, the good times had just begun
and they don't make the good time brand no more
no they don't make the good time brand no more
i've checked my bar room i've checked my liquor store
there ain't nothin' i won't spend for a bottle with my friends
but they don't make the good time brand no more
whiskey bottles don't pour hopes and dreams
and empty glasses don't hold pretty things
but if i had one or two maybe good times would come true
but they don't make the good time brand
don't sell the good time brand
you can't get the good times no more
they don't make the good time brand
don't sell the good time brand
you can't get the good times no more

---------------------------------------------
Indigo eyes
i see you bakin' bread
when i hold you close to me well i know our love's well fed
i can smell the dew drops i can hear the morning train
and to think that one day girl i didn't know your name
indigo eyes
you know i feel you in my heart
children runnin' round our home it's been right from the start
i can know for sure that you're not gonna stray
i can rest at ease knowin' i feel the same way
indigo eyes
i know you feel it too
indigo eyes
the way that i want you
and you know we're livin' in our paradise
just you and me there indigo eyes
indigo eyes
the flowers are in bloom
summer's round the corner yeah i hear it's comin' soon
livin' in the darkness it's so hard to see the light
indigo eyes
i know you feel it too
indigo eyes
the way that i want you
and you know we're livin' in our paradise
just you and me there indigo eyes
and you know we're livin' in our paradise
just you and me there indigo eyes

TITLE: NORTH COUNTY
Music & Lyrics by Tom Eaton, Copyright 2014
-----------------------------------------
Thirteen years ago I was a younger man than now
but that was many years ago
now i'm older still but not quite over the hill
and now there are a couple things i know
North County you will always be my home
But then I walked away sometimes it's better of that way
and sometimes you just leave your love behind
well i left her in LA and it still haunts me to this day
a self inflicted love sick worried mind
North County it's for her that i still pine
Some have passed and some are just gone
some keep keeping' on
some are lost and some are free
some are just a memory
Summertime was our sweet song
many winters have come and gone
but you'll always be my home
North County i just wanted you to know
You'll always be my home
I see that train it's comin' down
i hear it yeah i feel the sound
it's right there if i ever need to roam
to bring me back to where i once belonged
North County you will always be my home
yeah North County you will always be my home
