Thirty Thousand Days Sittin' on my front deck, Thinkin' bout the days gone by. I watch the planets go around And the years with a blink of the eye. I'm over half way gone, But baby I really don't care. Cause with you by my side, I know we can make it there. Thirty Thousand Days. Don't let 'em slip away. Thirty Thousand Days. When I was in my youth, Searching for some kind of truth. The summer's were so long, Just a swimmin' on that old bayou. Now the days go by so fast. You better make the good times last. Cause before you know it, It's all gonna fly by you. Jupiter and Mars, Rolling through the stars. The sun and the moon, From midnight to noon. Rising from the ground. It goes round and round and round. Thirty Thousand Days. Don't let 'em slip away. Thirty Thousand Days. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved.

Lover of Herself Struttin' down the street, She exudes overconfidence. Petals at her feet, Lives a life of elegance. Thinks she's a star in her car, She's the czar of arrogance. Pulls you in to her den, With pretense of the innocence. Left alone, all alone, When she was just a little girl. Now she's lost, that's the cost, Of livin' in her Cold, cruel world. She's a lover of herself. She don't want nobody else. She's a lover of herself. She's the lover of herself. Tossin' men aside Like a wornout paper ring. Take your money and your pride, She's the queen of everything. Never tries, never cries, Only lies about her history. Now I'm the one having fun, While she's living in her misery. She's a lover of herself. She don't care for noone else. She's a lover of herself. She's the lover of herself. She don't want nobody else She's a lover of herself. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved. Blue Earth Records NewTune Publishing Co.

Troubled Son 03:34
Troubled Son Troubled Son, Troubled Son. You know you're not the only one. You break your back In the noon day sun. Bought yourself a ticket On a one way train. Said you're gonna stick it To the man again. But everybody knows That he always wins. And you'll lose in the end, But it don't matter. Troubled Son, Troubled Son. Life is hard for everyone. Go find your days in the sun. Don't need alot of money For a happy home. Gotta give to Ceasar What Ceasar owns. And maybe let go to To what God only knows. Then you lose control, And gain your soul. Man it's a just a shame What it's done to you. But I know you can change, Cause I've done it too. And I know it's true, That they can't take that away From you. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved. Blue Earth Records NewTune Publishing Co.

Do It Right 03:56
Do It Right You know I've had some chances At long term romances, But they all went wrong. I've learned there's more than Love Makin'. There's lots of give and takin', Or it won't last long. And I'll be gone. I'll be gone. To play my song. But this time I'm gonna Do It Right, Do It Right Do it so right that you'll Never wanna leave. So I'll try to show you That I'll never hurt you, Cause baby I have grown. And I have no reason For pickin' up and leavin', Not if our love is strong. So come along, come along. You turn me on. This time we're gonna Do It Right, Do It right, Do it so right that we'll Never wanna leave. Like a bell, My heart's ringin' true. The sound of me Deep inside of you. And baby, Nobody's ever gonna Love you like I do. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved.

Dream All Day Another rainy day, These blues won't go away. So I steal a little time. Get my feelings down in rhyme. But words won't do justice To the way that I feel. Cause I lost my love A long, long time ago, When I took a turn Down this lonesome road. Day after Day, I pray to stay awake. Charm a gentle light To clear my weary eyes. And the sun rays are shining. Blue skies are crying. The lift of morning mist Has realized. In the warm, orange haze Of the new sunrise. So, I 'll Dream All Day Get lost inside the sound, With noone else around, I can Dream All Day. Every year of my life, I strive to get it right. Regrets and mistakes, Loves lost and thrown away. But I'm only human, Free and forgiven. Dawn reveals the day With a true sunlight. And melts the cold embrace Of the lonely night. So, I 'll Dream All Day Get found inside the sound, With everyone around. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved. Blue Earth Records NewTune Publishing Co.

Wild Blue Ocean Wild Blue Ocean, Bring her home to me. Take this notion Across this endless sea. Make her kind. Make her smart. Make her fine. Awake in her heart. Bring you over, You can ride me now, On my shoulder. I can show you how. I can see. You will see. What can be, You and me. Wild Blue Ocean, Bring her home to me. Take this notion Across this endless sea. Make her kind. Make her smart. Make her fine. Awake in her heart. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved.

Luminous Sky 03:36
Luminous Sky What if they all were right? And late at night We turned out all the lights, Looked up to the sky, Shimmering bright. And what if we all were one? Teaming with life, Around the suns. Celestial dream Of reality. In the sea Of Earth Mother's loving eyes. And the peace Of the mystic's starry night. In the Luminous Sky, In the Luminous Sky. And what if we washed ashore? And saw the world Like we never had before, In a different way For a brighter day. In the sea Of Earth Mother's loving eyes. And the peace Of the mystic's starry night. In the Luminous Sky, In the Luminous Sky Beautiful mystery of life. The true simplicity of light Is divine.

Cumberland 04:34
Cumberland Spent so much time In the city chasing dollars. Lord this really feels like home. And I found heaven Up here in the holler, On daily walks with my dogs. And I like spending Time on the water, And making music with my friends. And when I find Some farmer's lovely daughter, I'll stay with her until the end. Amazing river of light in my mind. It's a miracle. Maybe the sign of the times, But my eyes had grown cynical. And I had spent my whole life Just a wanderin'. But now I shine my heart, Living in the Cumberland. Now happiness Is there for the takin', And I've been Fighting for so long. And her sweet love Is made for making, As I warm her heart With my song. Amazing river of light in my mind. It's a miracle. Maybe the sign of the times, But my eyes had grown cynical. And I had spent my whole life Just a wanderin'. But now I shine my heart, Living in the Cumberland written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved. Blue Earth Records NewTune Publishing Co.

Life's An Illusion Blown away by the news That I heard here today. A planet like earth Had been found. I wonder if it has a night and a day, And towering trees in the ground. So, don't be surprised When a large mirrored eye Captures a distant blue place. Like so many times, When a new paradigm Changed the whole human race. Life's An Illusion We're gonna find A world like our own. It's all mass delusion, To think we're out here all alone. No more confusion. One image can change everything. I love the solution, And the hope and the joy It will bring. Life's An Illusion No more confusion I love the solution Life's An Illusion And what if these worlds Are not far away? Or a new way To travel through time. LIke sands on the beach Of our own Milky Way, Or the infinite mind of mankind. Life's An Illusion We're gonna find A world like our own. It's all mass delusion, To think we're out here all alone. No more confusion. One image can change everything. I love the solution, And the hope and the joy It will bring. written by: Daniel Glen Timms © 2011 All Rights reserved. Blue Earth Records NewTune Publishing Co.
