Tennessee Rose, where do you wanna go? I’ll take you if you want a ride My truck’s got no AC but the breeze feels sweet Through the windows darling, while we drive. I don’t really know where I was going Back before I saw your smile You taste so sweet when you’re kissing me Can I hold you a little too close, Tennessee Rose You can spend all my money at the carnival honey It’ll only take a couple hours We can have a couple kids, figure out what life is Take the sweet in with the sour You’re pouring rain on a summer’s day windows open, scattered showers You taste so sweet when you’re kissing me Can I hold you a little too close, Tennessee Rose Hill country sunset pouring colors out on the sky Let’s drink them in before the night kisses them goodbye The road beneath you don’t always lead you where you thought you’d go But here we are, Tennessee Rose

Bad News 04:06
It’s having coffee at the sunrise, before you open up your eyes No need to try and keep the door locked, it’s waiting in the mailbox Take a look down the road, it’s that old friend that we know. I think it’s best we should go, forget your coat, no matter… here he comes love. Bad news, coming to find you. Coming find you… Don’t even have to leave your house honey. Bad news, coming to find you. Coming to find you, where you are. Here comes the night. Write a long, long letter back home. Tell em that you’re alright, tell em you’re alright but you know That you’re never, ever gonna be the same This ain’t no make-believe, honey this ain’t no game You’re bruised and you’re broken, baby you need repair But I need to be honest; You need to beware of this… Bad news, coming to find you. Coming find you… Don’t even have to leave your house honey. Bad news, coming to find you. Coming to find you, where you are. We could stay home honey, and board up the doors Drink so much that we can’t help but ignore All the noise outside, and the robbers up the road I ain’t got no solution, and you ain’t got control Maybe we finally look each other deep in the eye Admit this situation ain’t that much of a surprise We’re helpless here honey, and deep in the pain need a little shelter here in the rain… from this bad news

LYRICS: This Texas sun setting slow today My worn out bones and my fading grays evidence of weighty cares but here comes Caroline, with sunshine in her hair These boots are worn in a daily fray I fear tomorrow that I’ll give way to dreams I’m chasing, unrealized but here comes Caroline, with sunshine in her eyes And she moves like you’ve never known like a ghost in a ray of gold she’s hope, she’s a crashing wave she moves the trees on a summer day I’ve held her life in my two hands now her hand in mine, and I’m a better man out on the ocean, without a flare but here comes Caroline, with sunshine in her hair Here comes Caroline, with sunshine in her hair

VERSE 1 Kiss me in the morning with your coffee breath Run that AC till I freeze to death Your jambalaya's like fire on my tongue...but I'm going back for seconds When this bowl's done CHORUS It must hard on you Making me fall like you do It must hard on you But you make it look it You make it look easy, Make it look easy, yes you do VERSE 2 Lately you been throwing away my favorite shirts And every Sunday dragging my ass to church Somehow baby I never see to mind When it comes to hearts, you're the thieving kind BRIDGE you keep on messing it up as we go along… this little bit of loneliness I been working on. VERSE 3 Let's let the laundry try to fold itself Little dust never hurt nobody, leave it on the shelf House looks like hell honey, that's easy to see But it feels like heaven here, when you're home with me

LYRICS Dust like yellow gold covers my feet Long and winding road, the path underneath These green mountains, heard about em as a boy So close i can almost touch them… almost touch them Climbing higher, the path way nears the face Whispering Ghost calls me another way Down into the valley, green hills on either side The mountain now behind me, disappearing behind me “This path you put me on leads me here today Why bring me here, just to then lead me away? What good is the fire, if the flames don't climb?” The Voice says "not this time" "Sit here soldier, rest your weary feet" it says. "Nightfall coming; best to make your bed. Tomorrow’s journey now is not today's concern. Until the morning comes, sit here and watch this fire burn." Dancing flames moved high in this forrest dark Unyielding and untamed, their hungry spirit sparks How these crackles hypnotize my weary mind to hear “You, I know why you are here. Is the fire inside born of virtue or of fear? You, and I we are one and the same. And it’s the Fire Maker, who gives both of us our names.” Morning shakes me, cool and calm, a promise calls. The cliffs once overwhelming, in the distance seem so small Though I hoped I’d have the chance to climb The path below leads me away… This time.

about

I wanted to give you all a chance to hear these songs in a state that I love - at their infancy. I also wanted to let some songs that probably won't make it to the studio be heard, in hopes that you can find yourself in them.

I write and post a song each week on Friday. These songs are stripped down to the bones, limited to only Four Tracks (for example - piano, guitar, vocals and a shaker) and recorded in an hour or so.

I hope you find yourself in these songs.

- Keeton
