Now It's Tomorrow c. 2008

(all songs written by Randall Bramblett)

1. SUN RUNS

Till the sun run out of yellow 
Till the rain falls dry
Till the lightning run out of juice            
I will be by your lovin side

Till the river runs back where it came from 
Till the mountain falls flat 
Till the ocean crawls up on the dry land
You give me something that nobody in the world can 

I got a song runnin in my mind           
I got a place where I know I will be satisfied
Got a love that is never gonna fade away 
 
Till the baby run out of precious
Till the dove don’t moan 
Till the siren run out of scream 
Give me reason to be comin home

Till the shallow runs deep and the ground float up 
Till flame in the candle make the room go dark
Till the sun run out of yellow 
Don’t you know you got a home in my heart

I got a song runnin in my mind           
I got a place where I know I will be satisfied
Got a love that is never gonna fade away

Till the sun run out of yellow 
Till the rain falls dry
Till the ocean crawls up on the dry land
You give me something that nobody in the world can

I got a song runnin in my mind           
I got a place where I know I will be satisfied
Got a love that is never gonna fade away 
Won’t fade away
No  no

2. EVERYBODY GLOWS

All the roads are paved
Everyone is saved
And the news is in
Everybody wins

And the cruel rain used to fall 
Down around our heads             
Now we don’t feel the sting at all

Everything is named
And the wild is tamed
Everywhere you go you know 
You’re always home

And the little dreams used to crawl
Into bed with us         
Now we don’t feel their breath at all…at all

Chorus: 
Everybody glows 
No matter where you go    
Who will ever know             
That we went wrong

Watch this garden grow
Tidy little rows
Who could ever know       
That we went wrong

All the air is clean
All the world is green
Everyone is free to be
All that they can be

And the nagging doubts 
Used to spin all around our heads
Now we don’t see their dance at all

Chorus

3. BLUE ROAD

Takin all the wrong turns
Laughin at the billboard signs
Stoppin at all the juke joints
Slingin shells across the parking lot    
    
Drivin on the wrong side 
‘Round the corner turn off the lights 
Come on down off that interstate baby
We’re ridin on the blue highways tonight

Chorus:
Oh, Jenny Lee I can’t do right by you
Gonna break your heart no matter what I try to do
Roll down the window and let’s lighten up this load
Take a ride with me down the blue road 
Doo doo doo….oh lord oh lord

We can’t go back to the same place     
Let’s get lost baby just in case
You can’t tell we might come back to life
Our love is shaken but it will survive

Chorus

Take a look at that locomotive
Pickin up cars in every town        
Well, what if he’s changed and he’s local now
Wouldn’t you want him to come on back around

Chorus

You’re the queen of the world in my book
Even if you run out of steam 
First time I saw you you stuck in my mind     
Walkin up the shell road and thumbin a ride

Chorus 

4. LET'S GO

Last night a light rain fell
It didn’t do much good
Just teased me into hangin on 
Longer than I should

Why don’t you come to me
Like swirling water in a dream
And we can ride together
Down the raging stream
 
I’m under no delusion             
That everything’s gonna be fine   
Just meet me on the corner 
By the blinking caution light

Sometimes you hurt so bad
All up in your skeptical mind      
That you call out for Jesus
And you’re sure that he hears you this time

Let’s go before it’s too late
I’m losing my grip a little more each day      
Let’s go now’s the time 
The windows are broken in my mind      

Will you stay awake with me
So we don’t miss anything more
Like the life that I was given
That got up and walked out the door

Why don’t you sit by me
On this terrible ride              
Maybe we can joke around together      
If we ever land on the other side    

Let’s go before it’s too late
I’m losing my grip a little more each day      
Let’s go now’s the time 
The windows are broken in my mind 

5. SOME MEAN GOD

Some mean god
Punched the night so hard
Left a green and yellow bruise
They call the moon               

Some violent thing               
Tore a hole in the sky             
Now the aggravating sun 
Shines into my eyes               

And I know some things never change
The way our love goes up in flames      
And I don’t know which lie is true               
But I can’t turn away from you  

Can I drop by
For a little toast
I won’t stay long
No one needs to know

Your house is still              
Your lights are low          
I can’t believe     
You’re really gone

And I know some things never change
The way our love goes up in flames      
And I don’t know which lie is true               
but I can’t turn away from you   
 
Here’s to the bruise
That never heals
And the blazing eyes         
That hold me still

6. MESS ABOUT IT

I came back from Alabama 
Everthing had changed
There was something different 
‘Bout the way you looked 
I been seeing little pictures 
Runnin in my mind
Like your flower dress 
On the nightstand

I’m a mess about it      
I’m a mess about it          
  
When you’re burning daylight
And you’re almost home
Little things can wind their way inside of you 
And your smile gets stolen by the thieving sun 
Got a strangle hold on the steering wheel

I said I ...I…I…..

I’m a mess about it 
I’m a mess about it      
    
I got people down in Mobile 
Live in a silver box
Do you want me to get them all involved
They make trouble everywhere they go
They got history you don’t want to know
They can’t stand to see us suffering

I’m a mess about it 
I’m a mess about it      

Is there something you can tell me
Make your heart come clean
Is there something on 
That little mind of yours
I got people up in Charlotte 
Where the mean wind blows   
They will help us any way they can

I’m a mess about it 
I’m a mess about it   

7. USED TO RULE THE WORLD

Dr. Feelgood sleepin on a concrete bench
Can I get a witness?
Miss South Carolina 1975  
Somebody stole your crown     

You were sleepin in your happy home
When you woke up baby 
Your life had come and gone

Now you’re mystified
Standin with the rest of us
Who used to rule the world

Brother Lovejoy rappin up a blue streak
Can I get a witness?
Miss Hurricane you can’t keep your hands still
Long enough to count your change  

You were wrapped up in your daily grind  
The cost of living 
It didn’t even cross your mind

Now you’re mystified 
Standin with the rest of us
Who used to rule the world

Mr. Blueprint used to have it figured out       
Now you can’t find the car
Miss Cocktail Dress lookin in the bathroom sink
Anybody find a ring?  

And you can’t believe your very eyes      
Everything you were countin on 
Nothing but a pack of lies

Now you’re mystified 
Down with the rest of us
Who used to rule the world

8. VISIONS

Dream I had
Now that it’s over
I’m so glad 
To still be living

I’m not sure
Where I’m going now
All my direction
Was taken from me

I’m not worried about tomorrow
It’s a broken promise 
All I want is you to love me
While this world is falling down

Chorus:            
You got you got visions   
Way beyond your days         
You got you got visions
Oh beyond your days     

Dream we had         
Glad that it’s fading now 
I don’t remember
Just what we cry about

Chorus

I’m not worried about tomorrow
It’s a broken promise 
All I want is you to love me
While this world is falling down

Chorus

9. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

Dropping like a stone 
Through the hours of your day   
Looking for the sun 
From the bottom of the well

All this time of wandering  
And where did you go
All this time of searching
And you already know    
       
Don’t waste your time 
Tearin up the rainbow     
Your gold is fine               
Always been inside of you
Don’t waste your time 
Tearin up the rainbow             

Dreaming’s like a drug 
And it keeps you from coming down
To the one you love        
And you know that I’m waiting

All this time of wandering
The world all alone                     
No where that you’re gonna be                 
That you can call your home                         

Don’t waste your time 
Tearin up the rainbow     
Your gold is fine               
Always been inside of you
Don’t waste your time 
Tearin up the rainbow 

10. YOU BETTER MOVE

Nobody heard from you
Almost all summer long       
Now you’re in your bedroom
With all the curtains drawn

You better move yourself 
Off that hard line
You better get right with somebody              
While there’s still time

And you got your privacy
That no one can disturb 
And loneliness is a treasure
That you claim you deserve

You better move yourself 
Off that hard line
You better reach out to somebody
While there’s still time

Do you want to love somebody
And take a ride on a stormy sea
Do you want to live in the shadows
Where you’ll be as safe as you can be
   
Everybody’s got the pain 
You know it comes with every day     
It’s tryin to give you something        
But you just run away

You better move yourself 
Off that hard line
You better get right with somebody
While there’s still time

11. WHERE A LIFE GOES

What’s it like where you are 
Are you young and beautiful again
Is the sadness that filled up your life     
Lifted and washed away        
Do you ever think of us         
Back here in the world of tears and dust    
Well keep your secret if you must
Where a life goes

What’s it like when you wake up
Do you even sleep 
Do you wonder where you are
Do you feel the yellow sun  
When you’re walking on streets of gold            
Are you laughing like a child
At the million tears you cried
Is your longing finally satisfied
Where a life goes

All the things that they promise you
The mansions and the cloudless blue         
I know the way that you lived your life
And you deserved more than you ever knew
In the lonely world we’re lost
On the angry sea we’re tossed
But you have made it safe across
Where a life goes

Are you floating out somewhere
Past the reach of all pain and care
With all the love that you can bear
Where a life goes
