Run Rose Run(106)
(Turnaround:)
I-I-I I’m driven
Second chorus:
Driven, driven to be smarter
Driven to work harder
Driven to be better every day
Driven, yes you gotta be
Nothing you cannot achieve
Take the wheel and just believe
That you can change your life
Just say I, I-I-I-I, I, I-I-I-I, I, I-I-I I’m willin’
I, I-I-I-I, I, I-I-I-I, I, I-I-I I’m driven
Tag:
I’m driven, I’m driven
Driven…willin’
I, I-I-I I’m driven
I, I-I-I I’m driven
Driven, driven
Dark Night, Bright Future
First chorus:
Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future
I’ve been hurt and broken but I am on the mend
Got so much ahead of me
The past is gonna set me free
Learn from it and just believe
That I can touch the sky
Verse one:
Everyone knows happiness
Everybody grieves
We all cry, we all smile
Everybody bleeds
Everybody has a past, things they want to hide
There’s give, take, love, hate in each and every life
Second chorus:
Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future
I’ve been hurt and broken, but I am on the mend
Got so much ahead of me
What’s in the past, I’ll leave it be
Learn from it and just believe
That I can touch the sky
Bridge:
Forgiveness is a magic wand, makes things disappear
Kindness wipes away regret, hope can conquer fear
Tenderness, a soothing balm, healing wounds and scars
Love says we can start anew right from where we are
Third chorus:
Dark night, bright future
I’m on my way, I start today
I’m gonna be all right
Dark night, bright future
It’s darkest just before the light
And though it’s been a long dark night
Blue sky on the other side
Half chorus:
Dark night, bright future
Like the phoenix from the ashes, I shall rise again
Dark night, bright future I’ve been hurt and broken
But I am on the mend

Big Dreams and Faded Jeans
Verse one:
Put on my jeans, my favorite shirt
Pull up my boots and hit the dirt
Finally doin’ somethin’ I’ve dreamed of for years
Don’t know quite what to expect
A little scared, but what the heck
My desire is always greater than my fear
Chorus:
Big dreams and faded jeans
Fit together like a team
Always busting at the seams
Big dreams and faded jeans
Just my ole guitar and me
Out to find my destiny
Nashville is the place to be
For big dreams and faded jeans
Verse two:
Put out my thumb and wish for luck
To hitch a car, a semi-truck
Sooner or later one will catch me
in their beams
Then I’ll be on my way at last
Find a future, lose a past
Waiting silent as the passion in me screams
Half chorus:
Big dreams and faded jeans
Fit together like a team
Always busting at the seams
Big dreams and faded jeans
Bridge:
May the stars that fill my eyes
Guide my path and be my light
And may God provide the means
To accomplish my big dreams, my big dreams
Third chorus:
Big dreams and faded jeans
Fit together like a team
Always busting at the seams
Big dreams and faded jeans
Like the song “Bobby McGee”
I’m just longin’ to be free
Take me where I want to be
Big dreams and faded jeans
Tag:
And there are many just like me
With big dreams and faded jeans
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Big dreams, big dreams and faded jeans
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I’m just longing to be free
Take me where I want to be
Big dreams and faded jeans
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm…
Snakes in the Grass
Verse one:
Snakes in the grass
You’d better move fast
You’ll be poisoned or be strangled to death
Their fangs, they bite deep
And their venom will creep
Inside you ’til you’re gasping for breath
Verse two:
And you can’t get away
From these Godawful snakes
They will bite and suck ’til they bleed you dry
And when they’re done with you
They’ll be stalking someone new
Aw, trust me, you’ll be lucky to survive
Chorus:
