1.Time and Time Again

Don Chaffer & Ben Grimes

If they could pull your attention
To what’s coming on
You would cut your hair
You would mow your lawn, alright
You wouldn’t need a memory
Of younger days
Just playing in the waves
Of the cathode rays tonight

I wanna do better but I don’t know how
And I lose my head when I take a bow
And everyone’s up when I’m getting down
And that’s how it happens

Time and time
Time and time again
Time and time
Time and time again

She said, I don’t know baby
Maybe you’re the one
He said, Hell yeah, honey
I’m a man with a gun, alright

It was a rainbow summer
And the days were long
Somewhere, somehow
Someone went wrong
One night

Time and time
Time and time again
Time and time
Time and time again

Everything changes when life begins
Fixes what’s broken in the hearts of men
I haven’t felt like this since
God knows when
And that’s how it happens


2.It's Alright

Lori Chaffer & Don Chaffer

Gone today cause it’s hard to stay
When the line is long
Find the ache in the things that break
And the reel is strong

It’s alright
Alright though it seems
Like a dark night
A hard time in your dreams

Try to bring in anything
It’s not easy to do
You can see them getting even
When you’re through

Out in space
Holding a place in the atmosphere
Missing how
Everything felt when you were near


3.We Already Got It

Lori Chaffer & Don Chaffer

You take a little lovin’
You take a little time
You put it all together
Oh my, oh my

I got a little secret
I got a little rhyme
Let the roses have the red
And the violets have the blue
As long as you are mine. Oh

They talk about the way they want it
But we already got it
We already got it
They talk about the way they want it
But we already got it
We already got it made, babe

You start at the beginning
You start to run the race
And when you start to lose steam
Just look into my face
I got a little secret
I really wanna tell
When I look at you, I feel it
That old magic spell


4.Back Together Again

Don Chaffer

We came a long way
From up around the bend
We came from everywhere
And had a tear to mend
We came across the sea
And bore a heavy load
They made us pay the entry fee
And walk a rocky road

And it’s so good to be back together again
Yeah it’s so good to be
Back together again

We have a memory
That we don’t understand
We were a sight to see
But we made it to dry land
We didn’t have a plan
Oh, so unprepared
We took a long train
And this is the joy we share that it’s

So good to be back together again

5.Everybody Knows It

Lori Chaffer

Everybody knows it
It’s over in a minute
It’s over the instant everybody knows

Everybody wants it
Until they get it
Then they wanna forget it
Then they wanna go

Stuck in a hard place
You’re in a rough phase
There are people keeping you down
Then you see my face
And know it’s okay
You can get up off the ground

It’s like a bad day
Goin’ the wrong way
You can’t shake that awful sound
And then you see how
You still got me now
You can get up off the ground


6.So Good To Have a Friend

Don Chaffer

One word said, one word heard

And that soft landing of understanding
Talk gives way, nothing left to say
You don’t fight it
It’s alright if it’s just quiet

It’s so good to have a friend
Everybody wants one in the end
There’s no use in trying to pretend
I’m telling you everybody wants a friend
I’m telling you it’s
So good to have a friend. Hey

Deep regrets no one gets
But you don’t hide it
You’re not stuck inside it
The long, hard day
When the sun gives way to the night time
And the long climb, you just might find

That it’s so good to have a friend


7.Call It A Dance

Lori Chaffer & Don Chaffer

We can change
It’s not like we can’t pick
Our feet up off the floor
It takes a certain kind of brave
To believe you can leave
The road you’ve always walked before
We can face ourselves in the mirror
We can look real hard
At all those things that are not nice

When you move to the left
Move to the right
Call it a dance and you’re feet feel light
Carry that weight
Hold your head up high
Cause you move to the left
Move to the right
In the middle of the day
And the middle of the night
So don’t be afraid
It’s never too late to try

Sometimes life bears down
With the weight of a hundred suns
And when you find that the strain
Of carrying everything’s never done
Funny thing, but you know when you go
To the edge of what you can bear
You have the strength and you know why

Don’t you hope so
Don’t you hope so

Carry that weight

When you move to the left
Move to the right
Call it a dance and you’re feet feel light
Carry that weight
Hold your head up high
We don’t want to be left
We wanna be right
And kiss the dawn at the close of night
Don’t be afraid
It’s never too late to try

We can change

8.Get It Together

Don Chaffer

I know you told me
That you really didn’t mean to
I know that you’re not used to
Really bein’ seen through
I know, I know, I know
I’ve heard it all before

I know about the heat
You say that you were feeling
I know about the kinda
Blow that leaves you reeling
I know, I know, I know
I’ve heard it all before

You’re gonna have to get it together
You’re gonna have to get it together
Cause you’re comin’ apart
You’re comin’ apart

You say the things you think that
Nobody can see through
You snap the lock that you think that
No one has the key to
I know, I know, I know
You think about it, and it shows

Sometimes the clothes come off
Sometimes you see it naked
Sometimes you think you’re certain
Only to find out you’re mistaken

You’re gonna have to get it together
You’re gonna have to get it together
Cause you’re comin’ apart
You’re comin’ apart

You’re gonna have to get it together


9.Open The Door

Lori Chaffer & Don Chaffer

Walkin’ down the street
With my shoes on my feet
Got my mind on somethin’
That’s a little bit more complete
Where are you, where are you
I wanna know

Open the door
Open the door
I’m gonna find what I’m lookin’ for

I’m feelin’ fine
With my happy on my mind
I need a little somethin’
I don’t gotta lotta time
Where are you, where are you
I gotta know

Please let me, please let me
Please let me get what I need


10.Overcome It

Don Chaffer

I am going to try to overcome
The things that knock me down
Every time I dive into the water
I am trying not to drown
Four and twenty stones were piled
High down by the river’s edge
Remind yourself by any means
That the fall is the reason
They made a net to catch

Overcome it
Oh overcome it
When it comes against you, baby
Overcome it
Oh overcome it
When it comes against you, babe

Find the power down inside, the one
That cuts right through the noise,
And lose the old worn-out excuses
A great surrender will make a way for joy

I am going to try to rise above
The things that knock me down

11.I'll Go

Lori Chaffer

I can’t take it
I can’t fake it
I can’t breathe you out
Without breathing you in
I don’t hear right
I don’t see straight
I don’t feel the same
When you touch my skin

So I’ll go
I’ll go
I’ll go home and lock my door

You don’t love me
You don’t want to be free
I been trying hard not to run away
You don’t like it
You don’t have to
I know how it is a slap in the face

My friends tell me I should run away
My friends tell me I’m being played
They want me to see better days
But surely you would have me stay


12.Stay By Your Side

Don Chaffer

Get it wrong and everyone’ll say
You get a boat out
Just to see it blown away
If you lie and think you’re okay
You set a bone to break
Living on a little summer wage
Then break down
And you’re fallin’ all the way
Get it wrong and everyone’ll say
Ain’t that the way, ain’t that the way

I’ll stay by your side
Til the darkness passes
I’ll stay by your side
Til the storm is through

Out alone you’ve gone a long ways
Got a weak will
And a thing you couldn’t say
Never sank, you rowed a load over
The early mountain lake

Now you’re on, you’re farther on gone
Countin’ on someone
That you say is just a pawn
Get it wrong and everyone’ll say
Ain’t that the way, ain’t that the way


13.No Doubt of Sunshine

Don Chaffer

The slender boughs of flowers
And the arc of growing leaves
The tender way the grass collapses
Underneath our feet

And the easy way
The sun gives out its sunshine
Come on, Come on
There is no doubt of sunshine
It’s another day
The sun gives out its sunshine
Come on, Come on, there is no doubt of
Sunshine again
Sunshine again

We’ll lay down our troubles
All those little things
No more holding back
The songs the morning sings

And the easy way
The sun gives out its sunshine
Come on, Come on
There is no doubt of sunshine
