Natural High 03:39
Don't need the drink To fill up the space I feel complete At the sight of her face Don't need the drug makes me more of a man just hold her close Lift this love with bare hands Her love is natural high It's like smoking the sky That's how I like to fly On her natural high A touch that's just right Honey roll it up tight Breathe in her natural high I'll do a line of the scent of that hair Give me another I wouldn't care Sends me to space A body like that If this is addiction Keep me out of rehab Her love is natural high It's like smoking the sky That's how I like to fly On her natural high A touch that's just right Honey roll it up tight Breathe in her natural high Hook me up baby Got to have another hit Driving me crazy When i am forced to live without it Her love is natural high It's like smoking the sky That's how I like to fly On her natural high A touch that's just right Honey roll it up tight Breathe in her natural high

Starts like this, Could be that Never know which way it's gonna go A pretty face in the summer sun does things to me that make me come undone I'm not sure if I'm the answer but I've got a pretty good idea You're the risk I'd like to take and... Do you wanna run away You're the rule I wanna break and... I hope it takes all day You're the love I wanna make Trust my hand, follow me we'll be all the world we want to see Close your eyes, drop your guard Let me try to step into your heart I won't pretend I'll be your hero If you need, I'll be right here You're the risk I'd like to take and... Do you wanna run away You're the rule I wanna break and... I hope it takes all day You're the love I wanna make SOLO You're the risk I'd like to take and... Do you wanna run away You're the rule I wanna break and... I hope it takes all day You're the risk I'd like to take and... Do you wanna run away You're the rule I wanna break and... I hope it takes all day You're the love, You're the love, You're the love I wanna make

Do My Thing 04:21
She said don't sit down beside me I need room to think You need time all to yourself So baby do your thing I guess I don't have a college degree Keeping up at a slower speed By do your thing Do you mean the rock n roll in my soul Gonna set it free Honey I'm gonna follow your lead, do my thing Do my thing No question gonna push it til I bleed Do my thing Close my eyes hear my calling Give me wings Do my thing a picture of disappointment Her face wondering what's ailing me Maybe a rubdown with some magic ointment Save her from the love of a freak Do your thing , selfishly So tired of keeping up Do your thing, prioritize That's no way to love I wasn't sure how to reply Had to step away Hearing words so damn direct Life is the hardest game to play Gotta do my thing Honey I'm gonna follow your lead, do my thing Do my thing No question gonna push it til I bleed Do my thing Close my eyes hear my calling Give me wings Do my thing Do my thing Do my thing Do my thing

Chapter Two 03:56
All those days with a broken heart Mornings when I didn't press start Never thought that we would part Life sure has a way Long late nights I drank my tears Failure was my darkest fear Where the hell would I go from here I just couldn't say I've got more stuff to do and I'll make more mistakes I've got love to give no time to waste on hate Yes, I've fallen hard but now I'm gettin' up dusting off these tired blues Cause tomorrow is my Chapter Two I've got more stuff to do Another heart will hold my hand and if I slip will she help me stand Either way this experienced man will find a better place I've got more stuff to do and I'll make more mistakes I've got love to give no time to waste on hate Yes, I've fallen hard but now I'm gettin' up dusting off these tired blues Cause tomorrow is my Chapter Two I've got more stuff to do I know I've made hurtful choices spoken words with angry voices but I was bleeding just as much as you I've got more stuff to do and I'll make more mistakes I've got love to give no time to waste on hate Yes, I've fallen hard but now I'm gettin' up dusting off these tired blues Cause tomorrow is my Chapter Two I've got more stuff to do Tomorrow is my Chapter Two.

Lonely scarecrow in the field The crows come anyway Sit upon his silence And have their greedy way No fear of confrontation They peck his antique face Until there's just the remnants The board that held his place He was all there was to talk to When John returned from war He'd lost his friends to arrows Along some distant shore It was too late on that Sunday To scare those crows away And just like all them good boys Another soul he could not save Those sticks they break like bones Only whiskey warms this cold A prayer is a heavy load But it can't chase away the crow He feels hellbent on helpless Dirt in his hands Down on one knee, eyes closed So hard to stand When you're hellbent on helpless Sometimes a man gotta scare a crow Pull them nails from plywood Put a coffin in the grave A soldier six foot under The crows they fly away These country fields feel empty Hell hides in the shade That cross is gettin heavy Faces they fade Put his faith in hoping that he can find some peace Maybe not in this world Those crows just let him be

You talk about reconciliation How you'd love to mend a fence or two Girl, I know you better You won't ever stop from bending truth You love to be the center of attention Say you're always left behind What was he, plan B? Was I ever on your mind? Weary feet, please don't let me down Man, there ain't no home left in this house Say, Dust off the Walkin' Shoes A little freedom from these tired blues Dust off the walkin' shoes This road don't seem to have no destination There's no use slowing down or looking back When it straightens out I'll think about considering the good we had I'll wear the blame for days I'm living lonely and just for revenge you'd keep it like that When I fell you'd kiss and tell Claim you were the better half Ha Ha Ha Weary feet, please don't let me down Man, there ain't no home left in this house Say, Dust off the Walkin' Shoes A little freedom from these tired blues Dust off the walkin' shoes Sexy Solo Weary feet, please don't let me down Man, there ain't no home left in this house Say, Dust off the Walkin' Shoes A little freedom from these tired blues Dust off the walkin' shoes Weary feet, please don't let me down Man, there ain't no home left in this house Say, Dust off the Walkin' Shoes A little freedom from these tired blues Dust off the walkin' shoes credits

Buffalo 04:10
We wore warpaint, sweat, and pride Behind our warrior faces we'd hide We stood silent, heads held high And watched the world we made just die Now I feel like I'm stuck on a tiny piece of land out in New Mexico With only memories of days we walked in fields of gold I'm living but lost my life in a place that's not my home Where the buffalo don't roam I can't change history I couldn't change you Can't replace the space you filled if I wanted to We were perfect, life is cruel And I can't go back to the life I knew Now I feel like I'm stuck on a tiny piece of land out in New Mexico With only memories of days we walked in fields of gold I'm living but lost my life in a place that's not my home Where the buffalo don't roam Spirits dance in desert dust The wind carries what's left of us... And I feel like I'm stuck on a tiny piece of land out in New Mexico With only memories of days we walked in fields of gold I'm living but lost my life in a place that's not my home Where the buffalo don't roam credits

Not listening to any words that I say You might as well talk for me too Always getting caught up in the little games you play That's a habit I would love to lose Hope that you're enjoying this One Sided Conversation Find me in the corner when you're done Take your time, get lost in that One Sided Conversation Talk about a two sided love You offer an opinion unrequested Shout it so that everybody hears Nobody likes it when you second guess them Why can't you quiet down and drink that beer? Hope that you're enjoying this One Sided Conversation Find me down the street when you're done Take your time, manipulate One Sided Conversation If you heard your words you'd want to rise above Rise above No one likes a know it all Give it up before you fall Brag about your loot then lose it in the end How do you hold the heavy weight of an ego you just can't escape Lighten up the load and live again or use a mirror to see your only friend Hope that you're enjoying this One Sided Conversation Find me in the corner when you're done Take your time, get lost in that One Sided Conversation Talk about a two sided love Hope that you're enjoying this One Sided Conversation Find me in the next town when you're done Take your time, explaining that One Sided Conversation Trust advice, learn to rise above Get back to knowing a two sided love

Didn't think I'd ever hurt you Please know I didn't intend These have been the best days ever Then I go and offend You're deserving of a great life Such a blessing to me So when I cause you to break down What kind of man could I be? I say, What kind of man would cause you to cry Would steal all your time To bring you so low when you make him so high You give that first kiss Now it's him that you miss You do all that you can for that kind of man Thought of myself as respectful a hard worker who's paid his dues giving all that I could give for some dreams to come true But love is a rollercoaster with curves too fast to see If I leave you holding fast to hope What kind of man could I be? I say, What kind of man would cause you to cry Would steal all your time Bring you so low when you make him so high You give that first kiss Now it's him that you miss You do all that you can for that kind of man Reach out and grab a star Put it on a ring All I could hope is to be your everything For all that I have put you through I'll pray on bended knee That's the kind of man I need to be I say, What kind of man would cause you to cry Would steal all your time Bring you so low when you make him so high You give that first kiss Now it's him that you miss You do all that you can for that kind of man

I never owned a muscle car Didn't have the wallet for it Worked my skeleton bone to bone Even still, could not afford it Got a picture though, in my mind With a 302, and man she flies Maybe I'd ride those wheels instead of this hurt I drive 4 cylinders cause I had to have her Me, myself , and I should've come first I lost touch with my pride cause I had to have her I had to have her, Had to have her, Oh yeah! Clothes, and shoes, and credit cards So much for that lover's bliss Debt so high for a bed so hard A rock group was my only kiss Two story house with a backyard fence added to unseen expense Now I'm forced to relearn how to flirt An old dog learning new tricks cause I had to have her Could've partied all around the world Instead I stayed at home cause I had to have her I had to have her, had to have her Oh no... Not saying there weren't good times, real smiles, and laughs that carried on Don't believe there wasn't love, or that it's forever gone We all change, rearrange, exchange the roads we choose to walk upon Problem is that differences are hard to swallow, which made it hard to talk on, I get it- it's all my fault. So much that engine speed I'm searching for the perfect groove I'll find dreams that eluded me Always believed it was in the right moves So much for the blessed union and no desired, friendly, reunion There's always one who claims to be more burned I'm a gigolo without a hotrod who had to have her Adventure to me was staying home from work but i learned not to do that cause I had to have her I had to have her, i had to have her Had to have her, you know I did Had to have her, you know I did I had to have her

Left Behind 04:25
No matter how straight my path appeared There were unknown turns unforeseen tears Time flew by, days became years Not sure how I made it from there to here The cross I bore was only mine No weight on those that shared my time And there were casualties though I really tried Seems someone always gets Left Behind It's a wound that bleeds through lonely nights Seems someone always gets Left Behind A bad decision was my drink of choice I turned a deaf ear to a loud inner voice I walked as a man but thought like a boy Darkened by whiskey and truth I would avoid Black circles beneath my eyes Left from memories tired lies And there were casualties though I really tried Seems someone always gets Left Behind It's a wound that bleeds through lonely nights Seems someone always gets Left Behind Those broken hearts stand in line Await repair renew their pride Loyalty pushed to the side The failure took me for a ride And there were casualties though I really tried Seems someone always gets Left Behind It's a wound that bleeds through lonely nights Seems someone always gets Left Behind Those casualties, I really tried but someone always gets left behind Someone always gets left behind

She's a daydream in real time Her love's built like a thrill ride The beauty on the inside Too wonderous to describe Took every nerve I have just to ask her to dance It's an unsolved mystery as to why she took a chance Got to pinch myself cause she's still here today I'm riddled with anxiety most every move I make Fantasies fade easy, I don't wanna wake Afraid if I open my eyes, she'll be another dream that got away Life is too short to waste a second A minute with her is such a blessing Sharing an hour, a gift so unexpected I'll leave my watch home so time won't keep me guessing I took so much for granted in my checkered past I'll hold her heart carefully like it was made of glass Got to pinch myself cause she's still here today I'm riddled with anxiety most every move I make Fantasies fade easy, I don't wanna wake Afraid if I open my eyes, she'll be another dream that got away Maybe I've gone crazy Is she imaginary A vision that might vanish in thin air The happiness I'm feeling Is enough to leave me reeling Baby keep that crazy going No way I could care Got to pinch myself cause she's still here today I'm riddled with anxiety most every move I make Fantasies fade easy, I don't wanna wake Afraid if I open my eyes, she'll be another dream that got away

lyrics Just breathe another breath, No worry for what comes next Bright lights they burn and they fade Only the day knows the way It's a Wide Open World There's always gonna be a Wide Open World Where everybody's free to catch a spinning breeze life's the remedy to the pain of living in a Wide Open World Just send another prayer Close your eyes good and tight Throw your arms up into the air Hearts break but mend over time Love only wants to fly high over the Wide Open World There's always gonna be a Wide Open World Where everybody's free to catch the spinning breeze life's the remedy to the pain of living in a Wide Open World Just breathe another breath Don't worry for what comes next In the Wide Open World There's always gonna be a Wide Open World and everybody's free In the Wide Open World, There's always gonna be a Wide Open World and everybody's free to catch a spinning breeze life's the remedy to the pain of living in a Wide Open World

about

Wide Open World is truly a collaboration between Eddie Bush and long time producer Dave Matthews. The result is a collection of songs that is both invigorating musically, and lyrically poignant. It is a real journal of sonic expression, aimed at the challenge associated with moving forward after tough experiences, finding the always waiting Wide Open World, easy to see, difficult to attend. This is art, that comes complete with big choruses and beautiful musical interlude, combining pop sensibility with intelligent lyric and arrangement.
