You gave me all you had to give
You game me all you could
I’m gonna write your love song
I’m gonna write it in this room
I gave you all I had to give
I gave you all I could
Told me once you’d never give up
And it makes me a better man
Because I'm five states away from home and I think it every night
If I'm here and you're there then I'm missing all the light
And it don't snow in California but I guess that's all right
Because I'm five states away from home and missing you tonight
If I forget to thank you
For all the things you do
Just know you have all of me
All of me with you
If I forget to thank you
For all the things you do
My open arms will wait the days
It takes till they have you
Because I'm five states away from home and I think it every night
If I'm here and you're there then I'm missing all the light
And it don't snow in California but I guess that's all right
Because I'm five states away from home and missing you tonight

An Honest Thing

When I got on that plane
Wasn't sure what I'd done
It’s an honest thing
Sorry for the years we didn’t talk too much
I said what I said and I did not see it through
I was scared of living my life without you
Every cells been changed
Our destinations rearranged
It's an honest thing
Sorry for the years we didn’t talk too much
I said what I said and I did not see it through
I was scared of living my life without you

Your life was a country song
And you didn’t die that day
But I’m having a funeral
You saddled horses rode rodeo
Fred met the cliches
But I had your funeral
And you go
You left your teeth at the scene
That was your ticket out
But it’s not what you wanted
Your life was messy and you had regrets
You made mistakes like we all do
Like we all do
And you go
I’m having a funeral

Kansas City I’m coming
At the airport I fly at dawn
Black coffee, I go it alone
Paris of the plains where I was born
Little action come and shake me
Little action come and make me try
Little action come and shake me
Had to go this way I had to leave
Now it's a ghost ship of the things I believe
Nothing's really changed it's still the same
Lots of corners that know my name
Little action come and shake me
Little action come and make me try
Little action come and shake me
In the Birchwood house we sold last year
Had to go this way she was all alone
Little action come and shake me
Little action come and make me try
Little action come and shake me

Ghost Ship Reprise

Cell phone, keys and wallet, same seat every day
And I needed movement, I found it in a bag
I had to tell you
I had to say
Staring at my screen, there's no time for me
And am a ghost ship, these hours ain't free
I had to tell you
I had to say
I had to tell you
I had to say
