Double Life 02:54

Double Life- Jake Nelson From Monday till Friday, you’ll find me, grindin’ putting in a 40 hour week. I wake up before the sun’s up, hop into my truck, And head out to my 9 to 5. By Thursday I’m ready, To get back in that Chevy, Loaded down with old guitars Punch out that time clock, Gas up at quick stop, And get out on the open road. Sometimes it’s like I’m-a-livin'-a-double life From a suit and tie to boots and neon lights (It’s a) Sound check at 7, (it’s a) packed by 11 There’s something that I’m lovin bout a-livin’ a double life. My friends say that one day, that day job’ll be a memory and you’re headed for that big time stage (Ha,) Well until then let’s pretend, that we’re rock-stars on the weekend like Sinatra said - “I’m gonna live till I die” Sometimes it’s like I’m-a-livin'-a-double life From a suit and tie to boots and neon lights (It’s a) Sound check at 7, (it’s a) packed by 11 There’s something that I’m lovin bout a-livin’ a double life. You can bet come Friday, we’re gonna get a little sideways Trading in that coffee for “Redneck Wine” and whiskey Do it over on Saturday, Last call from the old bar-keep We’re all killin a long hard week. I’ll play an encore if they’ll let me Sometimes it’s like I’m-a-livin'-a-double life From a suit and tie to boots and neon lights (It’s a) Sound check at 7, (it’s a) packed by 11 There’s something that I’m lovin bout a-livin’ a double life.

"Grew Up Home" I use to sit there on the tracks, overlooking highway 96 Callin’ cars with my little cousin A couple neighbor kids , just summer buzzin’ Time flies like a memory, Kinda like the cars out on the street We grew up good , We grew up wild, We grew up here, We grew up home, (We grew up home) I still miss those little things , riding bikes, climbing trees mowing lawns for a little money, Cool-aide, 13, and not a worry All of them awkward and quiet first dates Friday nights and football games We grew up good , We grew up wild, We grew up here, We grew up home, (We grew up home-------) That place where you learned a little bit about life Where you grew up, got down, and fooled around Stayin out a little too late Those climbing through the window days Home where you hold your closest memories Made mistakes, but that’s ok Home’s where the heart is Home’s where it started We grew up good, We grew up wild, We grew up here, We grew up home We grew up good, We grew up wild. We grew up here, We grew up free- We grew up home We grew up good, We grew up wild, We grew up here, We grew up home We grew up good, , We grew up Wild, We grew up here We grew up Free We Grew Up Home- We Grew Up Home-

"You’re Not Alone" He’s been fighting for his life up against the demons he’s got living in his mind and I know it’s been a long dark road but you need to know you’re not alone. She’s been searching for her smile That went away and hasn’t been on her in a while When you’re livin in a cold cruel world It-aint-all-that hard to lose sight of all that you’re worth. No---- You’re not alone--------- You’re Not Alone When you feel like letting go----------- When you’re lost and all alone (on your own) Please just let somebody know----------- Cuz no one knows just what you’re going through......But you We’ve all been out there in the dark In the middle of nowhere so scared and lookin’ for a light and If you’re-feelin-like you’re-fallin just hold on Cuz we’ve all got a song No---- You’re not alone------ You’re Not Alone When you feel like letting go----------- When you’re lost and all alone (on your own) Please just let somebody know----------- Cuz no one knows just what you’re going through Yeah no one knows just what you’re going through The sun will rise tomorrow, bringing you a brand new day And every cloud that covers will slowly fade away No more cold and all alone Time for healing, Time for hope Start a chapter of better days Cuz no one knows just what you’re going through Yeah no one knows just what you’re going through You’re Not Alone
