Every Road Takes Me Back To You ©2016 Jeff Zuber I crank up the motor in my truck Cruise out the driveway and wish you luck I set my cell phone navigator To don’t look back, I won’t see you later I’ve got plenty of fuel in my big old tank of pride You wanted to know just where I’d been And why I smelled a little like gin I wasn’t up to nothing Just out with the guys But I get stubborn when I’m caught in a lie And I’m not so good at talking; I’m better at cut and run I hate this mood when I get in it I feel a little more stupid as every minute goes by I’d better turn around before I regret it And hope you’ll forgive me instead of saying goodbye Every road that I go down, every off ramp I have found Every town that I roll through, every tree lined avenue It don’t matter what I do; every road takes me back to you I can be a better man Any fool could make a better plan Than driving around in this worn out seat When I could be wrapped in arms so sweet And there ain’t nobody with arms as sweet as yours I hate this mood when I get in it I feel a little more stupid as every minute goes by I’d better turn around before I regret it And hope you’ll forgive me instead of saying goodbye Every road that I go down, every off ramp I have found Every town that I roll through, every tree lined avenue It don’t matter what I do; every road takes me back to you Every road that I go down, every off ramp I have found Every town that I roll through, every tree lined avenue It don’t matter what I do; every road takes me back to you Takes me back to you Takes me back to you Takes me back, takes me back, takes me back to you

Cinder 05:22
Cinder © 2016 Jeff Zuber I finished one last cup of coffee as I watched her sittin’ there The sunrise through the window seemed to dance upon her hair Her eyes were red around the edges she’d been cryin’ for a while I looked at her and offered a reassuring smile She said her name was Cinder and she didn’t really mind If I sat down with her and we talked to pass the time She told me of the man she loved that promised her the moon And then just took what she could give him to leave her here too soon As I listened to her story you know I dried away her tears Gave her a hand to hold and sympathetic ears I know our lovin’ wasn’t likely but then who’s to say what’s right For two lost and lonely people who just made it through the night Now she’s my Cinder From the ashes of a love that’s flame had gone She wasn’t sure that she could carry on But in my arms My Cinder’s love burns strong I walked her to her car said goodbye and she drove away She’d given me her number and I called it later on that day She said it’s good to hear your voice I was afraid you wouldn’t call I said the fear you wouldn’t answer was my greatest fear of all That was years ago and miles away she’s now the center of my life The mother of my children and a warm and caring wife I thank the fate that found us more with every passing day And yes I thank that foolish lover that sent the girl away Now she’s my Cinder From the ashes of a love that’s flame had gone She wasn’t sure that she could carry on But in my arms My Cinder’s love burns strong Her love burns strong

If We Knew Know ©2016 Jeff Zuber We were young, and didn’t have much But then all I needed was your tender touch To be alright, everything would be alright We had our dreams we were flying high Those were the times we didn’t have to try To find the joy, we could always find the joy Somehow we got ourselves upended Our love got broken and we couldn’t mend it On the way to now We’re so broken now If we knew now what we knew then We might find that spark again And hold on tight, baby we could hold on tight If we knew now what we knew then We might save this love before it ends And make things right, baby we could make things right If we knew now what we knew then I can’t tell you the time or day When all our colors began to fade We just let them go, we never should've let them go You lost your way, and I lost my smile The load got too heavy for one more mile So we laid it down, we just got tired and we laid it down Somehow we got ourselves upended Our love got broken and we couldn’t mend it On the way to now We’re so broken now If we knew now what we knew then We might find that spark again And hold on tight, baby we could hold on tight If we knew now what we knew then We might save this love before it ends And make things right, baby we could make things right If we knew now what we knew then (repeat this chorus one more time)

Hero 04:31
Hero ©2016 Jeff Zuber When you’re caught up in the livin’ of the simple day to day, There’s no time for the heartbreak until it’s standing in your way. Even a believer of the good in every soul, Can be broken down by evil when dealt a crushing blow. And it’s true, and it’s real, and there’s no one who can tell you how to feel. Some say there’s a purpose to what’s washed up in the wake, But sometimes lives are shifted by random acts of fate. You can’t see it coming, you may never know. There may be no time for running when it finds you on your own. And it’s true, and it’s real, and there’s no one who can tell you how to feel. But I can be your hero. I can be your light. I can be the power that gets you through the fight. When life comes crashing down around you and the reasons are unknown, I can be your hero. You don’t have to be alone. There’s no sense at all, but still you wonder why, Everything you know has become a lie. Don’t you be tempted to give in to any shame. You’re not the answer and you’re not the one to blame. And it’s true, and it’s real, and there’s no one who can tell you how to feel. But I can be your hero. I can be your light. I can be the power that gets you through the fight. When life is crashing down around you and the reasons are unknown, I can be your hero. You don’t have to be alone. Yes I can be your hero. I can be your light. I can be the power that gets you through the fight. When life is crashing down around you and the reasons are unknown, I can be your hero. You don’t have to be alone. I can be your hero. You don’t have to be alone.

Wish I Would’ve Thought of That ©2016 Jeff Zuber We had words the other night. and I know why it didn’t go right. I said some things I ought a take back. I remember the movie scene, where the hero pulls the girl in close to him. And he swears his love is the one true fact. I wish I would’ve thought of that. I watched you get in your car. I heard the door slam and the motor start. Now I’m a broken man on my way to a broken heart. And I recall the flower shop that I passed by but didn’t stop. And if a hand full of flowers could win you back, I wish I would’ve thought of that. Sometimes, I’m a big dumb fool. When I forget what it’s like without you. You said you’d forgive me just apologize. I said right when pigs can fly. I wasn’t tryin’ to make you cry. I just wasn’t tryin’ and I know that’s why, You left me here with your goodbye. And when I remember our last kiss, I never dreamed it would come to this. You own my heart and that’s the one true fact. And I wish I would’ve thought of that. You own my heart and that’s the one true fact. And how I wish I would’ve thought of that.

How I See It 04:17
How I See It ©2016 Jeff Zuber You and me I know we had our moments But I’ll be damned if there’s one I can recall I guess that you and me, simply wasn’t meant to be We were just a stumble, not the fall I’m not sure what I really wanted I don’t know what got in the way Now it’s just the sins drifting on the wind And the price the sinner’s left to pay It wasn’t me who lied too many times It wasn’t me who cheated just because I could It wasn’t me who didn’t draw the lines No It wasn’t me who cried, because you know I never would Now it’s not me who’s feeling guilty about the things I left behind At least that’s how I see it in my mind I didn’t notice things that made you happy I didn’t understand things that made you cry I never was the man who was there to hold your hand I didn’t even see it pass me by It wasn’t me who told you that you’re pretty It wasn’t me that loved you every day It wasn’t me who was the right amount of witty It wasn’t me who let you know that things would be OK Now it’s not me who’s feeling sorry for the things we couldn’t find At least that’s how I see it in my mind Now it’s not me who’s feeling guilty about the things I left behind At least that’s how I see it At least that’s how I see it At least that’s how I see it

My Only One 04:14
My Only One ©2016 Jeff Zuber I’m here in the moment where I stay or move along Will I regret the feelings I’ll have if you are gone My whole life may depend on the next few words I say Will you be my only one, or the one that got away I’m always second guessing choices never made Are there any winners in a game that’s never played Will our lives be better if I can make you stay Will you be my only one, or the one that got away So many little moments build our path from here to there The journey finds its meaning in how the road is shared For the richer or the poorer will we shine in brighter days Will you be my only one, or the one that got away With the partners of our lifetime it’s a complicated dance Should we give the steps direction, or leave the whole damned thing to chance Once the moment passes there’s no turning back around We can cry about the things we’ve lost, or take joy in things we’ve found I’m here in the moment where I guess right or I guess wrong Will I survive the damage there may be if you are gone My whole life may depend on the next few words I say Will you be my only one, or the one that got away My whole life may depend on the next few words I say Will you be my only one, or the one that got away
