Get up
But leave the lights off
Get your clothes
Get your bag
Tell your mama
We went to Dallas
Tell yourself
We’re not coming back
Looking in
All my life
Every door I’ve tried
Been locked up tight
Well I broke one down
While you slept
Took enough
To put things right
(chorus)
Drive by night
Hide by day
We can’t look back
Or we won’t look away
Can’t stop running
Or we won't start again
We got to stay a step ahead
Of the man that rides the hard wind
Get your pictures
Get your bible
What you leave
You won’t see again
Tell your friends
We went to Houston
Tell yourself
Won’t be no end
(chorus)
Drive by night
Hide by day
We can’t look back
Or we won’t look away
Can’t stop running
Or we won't start again
We got to stay a step ahead
Of the man that rides the hard wind
We need time
And we need luck
We need to be somewhere
Ain’t falling in on us
We need time
And we need luck
We need to be somewhere
Ain’t falling in on us
Going to drive by night
Hide by day
We can’t look back
Or we won’t look away
Can’t stop running
Or we won't start again
We got to stay a step ahead
Of the man that rides the hard wind
We got to stay a step ahead
Of the man

This Is Where

This is where I don’t shake this is where
This is where I don’t break this is where
This is where I can cope this is where
This is where I can hope this is where
This is where I’m safe so
This is where I always go
This is where
This is where the rules are mine this is where
This is where I bend the time this is where
This is where I bend the light this is where
This is where I fill the night this is where
This is where I’m bright as day
This is where they fade away
This is where
(chorus)
In a cleft in the rock
Where the waves can’t break
In a shadow where the sun
Can’t burn me black
I’m in place
I won’t move on
And I won’t come back
This is where I set my seal this is where
This is where I hold the wheel this is where
This is where I bring the rain this is where
This is where I bring my pain this is where
This is where I hold it down
This is where I make it drown
This is where
(chorus)
In a cleft in the rock
Where the waves can’t break
In a shadow where the sun
Can’t burn me black
I’m in place
I won’t move on
And I won’t come back
This is where I’m not ashamed this is where
This is where I’m not restrained this is where
This is where I can dream this is where
This is where I can scream this is where
This is where I’m good enough
This is where I’m good enough
This is where
(chorus)
In a cleft in the rock
Where the waves can’t break
In a shadow where the sun
Can’t burn me black
I’m in place
I won’t move on
And I won’t come back
I’m in place
I won’t move on
And I won’t come back
Please try to comprehend
Here I don’t have to end
This is where

Charmer
04:38
|

|
It’s midnight empty and here we are
To think about anything else is too much
Because there’s something electric in the space between us
And we could close that distance until we touch
(chorus)
Come out of the cold
And into my light
Come out of the cold
And into my light
Come out of the cold
And into my arms
Fold me up in your spells and your charms
I move at the pace of my own heartbeat
You stand in the shadows of everything you’ve been told
Trailing pieces of the past behind you
But there can be more if you can be bold
(chorus)
Come out of the cold
And into my light
Come out of the cold
And into my light
Come out of the cold
And into my arms
Fold me up in your spells and your charms
Still in the darkness breathe
Adrift in shapeless dreams breathe
It’s warm like water breathe
You’re shaking on the borderline
Breathe
(chorus)
Come out of the cold
And into my light
Come out of the cold
And into my light
Come out of the cold
And into my arms
Fold me up in your spells and your charms
Fold me up in your spells and your charms
Fold me up in your spells and your charms

Summer Is The Time

Summer is the time for a cold beer
After a good long hard bike ride
So glad you’re here with me this evening
I feel much better when you're by my side
(chorus)
Oh my oh my my
I wanna to say I won't lie
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's just a perfect day
In the summer time
In the summer time
Summer is the time for being outdoors
Holding hands and walking in the sun
The wind is blowing waves across the water
And telling me that you're the one
(chorus)
Oh my oh my my
I wanna to say I won't lie
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's just a perfect day
In the summer time
In the summer time
In the summer time
One two three four
Summer sunset time for outdoor music
And a blanket spread out on that grassy hill
A rocking band and you right there beside me
And I feel just like a million dollar bill
(chorus)
Oh my oh my my
I wanna to say I won't lie
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's just a perfect day
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
Talking ‘bout the summertime

You said I thought I was a cowboy
I said welcome to the show
Are we just talking
How far you want to go
Another song and we were dancing
In the middle of a crowd
Music ripping from the speakers
And I said you like it loud
And you were shining like the sun and you said
(chorus)
I don’t back away
I don’t go around
I don’t ever stop
I don't ever turn it down
So we were dancing on the table
And everybody turned around
You said attention's like water
Well I think you're going to drown
Things were getting sort of quiet
I threw a bottle at the bar
While you were smoothing things over
I was waiting by my car
Not my first rodeo
(chorus)
I don’t back away
I don’t go around
I don’t ever stop
I don't ever turn it down
I don’t ever turn it down
They said you’re never going back there
You must have lost your mind
Baby we’re just getting started
And we’re not wasting any time
Standing in the street lights
Still shaking with the drums
I can feel something coming
It don’t matter let it come
Now repeat after me
(chorus)
I don’t back away
I don’t go around
I don’t ever stop
I don't ever turn it down
Well I don't ever turn it down
Do you hear me
I don't ever turn it down
I don't ever turn it down
I don't ever turn it down

Kings Of Hard Weather
05:12

Beside the depot crowd the kings
Of hard weather
Of hard nights
I've drunk enough to stack the bottles
To the ceiling
To the sky
I’m too sick to really fly
(chorus)
I want to leave this darkness to my devils
I’ve been undone by their embrace
Change draws me like a warm winter sun
And I’ve been too long in the shade
There’s nothing here
But my devils
People look, but they don’t see
They just walk on
And I just walk on
Through the snow that muffles my steps
Into the shadows
Where a king
Can rest his head
(chorus)
I want to leave this darkness to my devils
I’ve been undone by their embrace
Change draws me like a warm winter sun
And I been too long in the shade
There’s nothing here
But my devils
I’m just another lost king
My kingdom
Is under my feet
It's been so long since I've lived in color
My days are grey
And my nights
My nights are dark
I want to leave this darkness to my devils
I’ve been undone by their embrace
Change draws me like a warm winter sun
And I've been too long in the shade
I want to leave this darkness to my devils
I’ve been undone by their embrace
Change draws me like a warm winter sun
And I've been too long in the shade
There’s nothing here
But my devils

Mouthful Of Questions
03:29
|

Am I going to be the last one left
In this town
Can I get up the nerve to get up
And just get out
Is it going to be better
Is it going to go wrong
Because if things don’t work out
I might need to come home
Choking on a mouthful of questions
(chorus)
We should be
Dancing by a fire instead of looking in a mirror
Haunted by the future like we’re haunted by the past
Dancing by a fire instead of looking in a mirror
With worn off silver and scratched up glass
Thinking there's an answer in there to be found
Best to just be living
When the future comes around
Is it going to hurt
Is anybody going to hold my hand
Am I going to be all right
Am I going to need a whole new plan
Or am I going to live a long life
Am I going to be loved am I going to be known
Am I gonna be share a bed am I going to share a life
Am I going to die alone
Choking on a mouthful of questions
(chorus)
We should be
Dancing by a fire instead of looking in a mirror
Haunted by the future like we’re haunted by the past
Dancing by a fire instead of looking in a mirror
With worn off silver and scratched up glass
Thinking there's an answer in there to be found
Best to just be living
When the future comes around
Not looking in the mirror
Not looking out the window
We should be running through the doorway
We’re supposed to be out there
We’re supposed to be dancing
We’re supposed to be alive
(chorus)
We should be
Dancing by a fire instead of looking in a mirror
Haunted by the future like we’re haunted by the past
Dancing by a fire instead of looking in a mirror
With worn off silver and scratched up glass
Thinking there's an answer in there to be found
Best to just be living
When the future comes around

Somebody Else's Problem
03:54

In a rented trailer south of Tulsa
I come here a year ago from Lubbock Texas
It's just a place where I can lay down
Alone or with some girl from town
But it’s mostly just me out there ’til tomorrow comes again
In an old chair with a cold beer
And the radio turned up to ten
I’m just a roughneck
And Tulsa's just another roughneck town
Mostly working doubles
I’m not really chasing trouble
But trouble knows the bars I like when I stay late in town
‘Cause it seems to find me every time
I wash that weekend down
(chorus)
If it’s too big for the back seat it’s not something that I want
If remembering leaves me worse off for the trouble then I don’t
Whatever I’m gonna let myself believe I got to have
Fits in my car
Everything else is somebody else’s problem
Well I believe that sheriff’s lost his patience
And I ain’t calming down
So I cash my paycheck at the bank
I fill the cooler and I fill the tank
I serve one last bar room beating to some prick because I can
Then I smoke it back to Texas
Merle Haggard as my wing man
(chorus)
If it’s too big for the back seat it’s not something that I want
If remembering leaves me worse off for the trouble then I don’t
Whatever I’m gonna let myself believe I got to have
Fits in my car
Everything else is somebody else’s problem
South of town on River Road
Left after the train bridge
East four miles more
Well there's a gray trailer with a gray door
But save yourself the trouble sheriff I’m not there to find
When I left that bar I left
And what I left I left behind
And by closing time
I’m across that state line
Oklahoma in the rearview gone
Oklahoma in the rearview gone
Oklahoma in the rearview gone

Wayward Brother
04:30
|

Beneath the skin of the river lie the bones of a lock
With Appalachian water running over the rocks
And it mutters and it flows past the dam and past me
Until it runs to the gulf and gets lost in the sea
Lock Four down there underwater and the tremble is all
I can feel as I drift over what's left of that wall
I send word with the water that runs through my hands
To you where you don't feel it from me where I am
(chorus)
What you spun for a story it just turns in the breeze
Stretched out inside a bottle it don't mean you're at ease
Eyes closed to the hard things it didn't pay to know
You can blame us or the moon or the rain stars
Well dark thoughts arise and gather and I just put 'em down
In lines and in pages until they cover the ground
And they run like a spring flood all the troubles that you made
To you where you don't feel them from here where I stay
(chorus)
What you spun for a story it just turns in the breeze
Stretched out inside a bottle it don't mean you're at ease
Eyes closed to the hard things it didn't pay to know
You can blame us or the moon or the rain stars
That don't make it so
Sometimes the water makes the sound of together
But what’s real is that you left us all in pieces here at home
Brother I remember that I missed you
For a long time before you were gone
(chorus)
What you spun for a story it just turns in the breeze
Stretched out inside a bottle it don't mean you're at ease
Eyes closed to the hard things it didn't pay to know
You can blame us or the moon or the rain stars

I'm Around
03:56
|

It’s been almost a year since you left me
Back been here on my own
Your dad came by today
He said he’d seen you and his happy girl was gone
Well he don’t know that much about your past
He just remembers better days
And the way he talked about you
There was more than time and distance in the way
He showed me a picture
Looked like you were made of glass
And trying so hard not to break
(chorus)
It’s only eighty miles to Tulsa
And I could use a good excuse to drive to town
You can call it’s the same old number
If you need anything I got
I'm around
I’m around
I wish I could see
Just looking at your picture
What it is you can’t get through
Is it those pills come back around
Or some other kind of devil strange and new
But the truth is
Even when we were together
It was hard to see what had a hold of you
(chorus)
It’s only eighty miles to Tulsa
And I could use a good excuse to drive to town
You can call it’s the same old number
If you need anything I got
I'm around
If you need a friend to point you toward tomorrow
Or to help you get past everything you’re not
If you need someone who remembers
All the things that make you special
If you need anything that I got
I'm around
I'm around
I'm around
I'm around
I’m around

Snyderville Electric Band Park City, Utah
Three lifelong musicians joined forces in the mountains of Utah in the late summer of 2016. Snyderville Electric Band is the result. Our musical style flows out of the intersection of southern rock, classic rock and blues. Think Kings of Leon, Tom Petty, Neil Young and the Allman Brothers plugged in and turned up to seven (okay, sometimes to eleven). ... more
