Dave Barnes Lyrics
Wildflower lyrics - Dave Barnes
Wildflower, can't you see it's time for you to settle down?
Blame it on the wind you're in some desert town, it feels so far away.
Wildflower, you finally found the all-alone you dreamed about.
Maybe there's no one there that can hurt you now, but it's quite a price to pay.
The hardest thing I ever did was watch you go.
Now you're underneath some other sky so blue.
Can't you see, I'm still in love with you?
Wildflower, I wish that I could be the one to change your mind.
That you can pick up all the pieces that you left behind when you come back to stay someday.
The hardest thing I ever did was watch you go.
Now you're underneath some other sky so blue.
Why can't you see I'm still in love with you?
There's a risk in loving you
I'd take again and again and again it's true.
Baby, I wait for you.
Wildflower.
The hardest thing I ever did was watch you go.
Now you're underneath some other sky so blue.
Maybe all I wanted was to hold you close
Like you've never let somebody do.
After all this time I'm still in love with you.
Wildflower, I'm still in love.
Blame it on the wind you're in some desert town, it feels so far away.
Wildflower, you finally found the all-alone you dreamed about.
Maybe there's no one there that can hurt you now, but it's quite a price to pay.
The hardest thing I ever did was watch you go.
Now you're underneath some other sky so blue.
Can't you see, I'm still in love with you?
Wildflower, I wish that I could be the one to change your mind.
That you can pick up all the pieces that you left behind when you come back to stay someday.
The hardest thing I ever did was watch you go.
Now you're underneath some other sky so blue.
Why can't you see I'm still in love with you?
There's a risk in loving you
I'd take again and again and again it's true.
Baby, I wait for you.
Wildflower.
The hardest thing I ever did was watch you go.
Now you're underneath some other sky so blue.
Maybe all I wanted was to hold you close
Like you've never let somebody do.
After all this time I'm still in love with you.
Wildflower, I'm still in love.
Glow Like The Moon lyrics - Dave Barnes
She may say goodbye but lord her eyes
Glow like the moon
She, she's gonna hurt you
She, she's gonna break your heart
She, she don't even know it
That's the hardest part
You'll be laughing when she's smiling
Broken when she don't
Begging for her kissing
Dying when she won't
Waiting on I love you's
That never come too soon
She may say goodbye but lord her eyes
Glow like the moon
She, she ain't a liar
She, never means no harm
See, the hearts just like a fire
Lord it keeps you warm
You'll be laughing when she's smiling
Broken when she don't
Begging for her kissing
Dying when she won't
Waiting on I love you's
that never come too soon
She may say goodbye but lord her eyes
Glow like the moon
You'll be laughing when she's smiling
Broken when she don't
Begging for her kissing

You'll be laughing when she's smiling

She may say goodbye but lord her eyes
You'll be laughing when she's smiling
Broken when she don't
Begging for her kissing
Dying when she won't
Waiting on I love you's
that never come too soon
She may say goodbye but lord her eyes
Glow like the moon
Glow like the moon
Honey, I'm Coming Home lyrics - Dave Barnes
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
I'm tired of skylines
I'm tired of missing you
And all these goodbyes
No, they just won't do
First California
Then Santa Fe
I'm counting sunsets
'Til I see your pretty face
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Put on some makeup
A little red dress too
If you can stay up
We can have a midnight rendezvous
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Every night when I fall asleep
Baby, I'm dreaming of you
(Baby, I'm dreaming of you)
I can't take another minute away
Another second baby just won't do
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Honey, I'm coming home
Honey, I'm coming home
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
I'm tired of skylines
I'm tired of missing you
And all these goodbyes
No, they just won't do
First California
Then Santa Fe
I'm counting sunsets
'Til I see your pretty face
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Put on some makeup
A little red dress too
If you can stay up
We can have a midnight rendezvous
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Every night when I fall asleep
Baby, I'm dreaming of you
(Baby, I'm dreaming of you)
I can't take another minute away
Another second baby just won't do
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Baby, leave the key on the porch tonight
I'll be coming home before the morning light
Don't you worry baby, it'll be alright
Honey, I'm coming home
Honey, I'm coming home
Honey, I'm coming home
Nothing Like You lyrics - Dave Barnes
Streets full of people
Souls full of sparks
Days full of color
Turning nights full of stars
Everywhere I've ever been
I come back time and time again
Cause there ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Bluest skies to the ocean tides
All got something to prove
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
My head's full of trouble
My heart just won't sleep
Only you and every one of your kisses
Bring that healing to me
The stories that are mine to tell
All got you and all end well
Cause there ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Bluest skies to the ocean tides
All got something to prove
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like the way I feel
When there's nothing but me and you
Your love has got a hold on me
There's nothing that I can do
There's nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Bluest skies to the ocean tides
All got something to prove
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you...
Ain't nothing like you...
Souls full of sparks
Days full of color
Turning nights full of stars
Everywhere I've ever been
I come back time and time again
Cause there ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Bluest skies to the ocean tides
All got something to prove
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
My head's full of trouble
My heart just won't sleep
Only you and every one of your kisses
Bring that healing to me
The stories that are mine to tell
All got you and all end well
Cause there ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Bluest skies to the ocean tides
All got something to prove
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like the way I feel
When there's nothing but me and you
Your love has got a hold on me
There's nothing that I can do
There's nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you, ain't nothing like you
Bluest skies to the ocean tides
All got something to prove
There ain't nothing like you
Ain't nothing like you
There ain't nothing like you...
Ain't nothing like you...
Darlin' lyrics - Dave Barnes
Darlin' let down your hair
Let those worries blow out into the summer air
Kick up your feet and baby you can leave them there
Darlin' lets take our q's
From the clouds in the sky blowing by without a thing to do.
No where to wait but wasting this day with you
We're all right whatever may be
I got you a baby you got me
We're all right, whatever we do
you got me baby, and I got you to.
Darlin' we got it made
Your kids are at your moma's and baby all the bills are paid
How bout' a kiss, honey I'll meet you half way
We're all right, wherever may be
I got you and baby you got me
We're all right, whatever we do
you got me baby, and I got you to
We're all right wherever may be
I got you a baby you got me
we're all right, whatever we do
you got me baby and I got you to
We're all right happy and free I got you baby you got me
We're all right nothing to lose, you got me baby
and I got you to
Let those worries blow out into the summer air
Kick up your feet and baby you can leave them there
Darlin' lets take our q's
From the clouds in the sky blowing by without a thing to do.
No where to wait but wasting this day with you
We're all right whatever may be
I got you a baby you got me
We're all right, whatever we do
you got me baby, and I got you to.
Darlin' we got it made
Your kids are at your moma's and baby all the bills are paid
How bout' a kiss, honey I'll meet you half way
We're all right, wherever may be
I got you and baby you got me
We're all right, whatever we do

We're all right wherever may be
I got you a baby you got me
we're all right, whatever we do
you got me baby and I got you to
We're all right happy and free I got you baby you got me
We're all right nothing to lose, you got me baby
and I got you to
Tell Her You Do lyrics - Dave Barnes
Boy you know better than thinkin' she reads your mind
No matter the crumbs and the clues oh that you leave behind
You're hard to believe
I swear she'll believe if it's true
Oooh ooh ooh just tell her you do
Those hurricane kisses are missing the mark that you made
The forest of flowers can't tell her what you want to say
She's wondering something
Her eyes are the first to accuse
Ooh ooh ooh just tell her you do
Your world is the fire she's the flame
And you know her heart feels the same
The windows are open
She glows in the light of the moon
Her every word is a verse and oh you know the tune
Don't keep her waiting
Bravery favors the fool
Ooh ooh ooh just tell her you do
No matter the crumbs and the clues oh that you leave behind
You're hard to believe
I swear she'll believe if it's true
Oooh ooh ooh just tell her you do
Those hurricane kisses are missing the mark that you made
The forest of flowers can't tell her what you want to say
She's wondering something
Her eyes are the first to accuse
Ooh ooh ooh just tell her you do
Your world is the fire she's the flame
And you know her heart feels the same
The windows are open
She glows in the light of the moon
Her every word is a verse and oh you know the tune
Don't keep her waiting
Bravery favors the fool
Ooh ooh ooh just tell her you do
Headlights lyrics - Dave Barnes
Summer time, midnight getaway
I was fallin' for every word you'd say
I'd follow the moon between the pines
Every mile you were on my mind
Oh, we were younger
That was way back before you were mine
I remember those days when love kept us waiting all night
For headlights
With every, sweet, magnolia kiss
Hello, goodbyes hung on our lips
The beginning of us, those swingin' doors
Hearts not the same as they were before
Oh, we were younger
That was way back before you were mine
I remember those days when love kept us waiting all night
For headlights [x2]
I was fallin' for every word you'd say
I'd follow the moon between the pines
Every mile you were on my mind
Oh, we were younger
That was way back before you were mine
I remember those days when love kept us waiting all night
For headlights
With every, sweet, magnolia kiss
Hello, goodbyes hung on our lips
The beginning of us, those swingin' doors
Hearts not the same as they were before
Oh, we were younger
That was way back before you were mine
I remember those days when love kept us waiting all night
For headlights [x2]
The Little I Know lyrics - Dave Barnes
The little I know, thought I'd live in California
Maybe not to settle down, for a season anyway
The little I know, thought some time beside the ocean
Might help what I was hoping for, the things too hard to say
Now it's like the angels singing
It's as gentle as the rain
I hear they come in generations
When she calls my name
The little I know, swore I'd be a preacher
Sermons in a southern town
Where the leaves don't ever change
But dreams don't stay the same
Now it's like the angels singing
It's as gentle as the rain
I hear they come in generations
When she calls my name
Now it's like the angels singing
It's as gentle as the rain
I hear they come in generations
When she calls my name
Maybe not to settle down, for a season anyway
The little I know, thought some time beside the ocean
Might help what I was hoping for, the things too hard to say
Now it's like the angels singing
It's as gentle as the rain
I hear they come in generations
When she calls my name
The little I know, swore I'd be a preacher
Sermons in a southern town
Where the leaves don't ever change
But dreams don't stay the same
Now it's like the angels singing
It's as gentle as the rain
I hear they come in generations
When she calls my name
Now it's like the angels singing
It's as gentle as the rain
I hear they come in generations
When she calls my name

Twenty Three lyrics - Dave Barnes
We were gonna be the ones on the radio,
Gonna be the ones with the sold out shows.
Wanted everyone to know our name,
We were busy chasing lights and fame.
A band in a van headed to your town,
Weren't gonna leave 'til ya kicked us out.
Doing what we had to do,
Crashing on a couch or two.
And when the lights went down,
We were singing.
Oh oh oh...
We were young and fun,
Just another band on the run.
Oh oh oh...
We were just chasing dreams,
Finding out in the meantime what it means.
To be young and wild and free.
We were twenty three.
We were staying up way too late on 21st,
Living our lives like a second verse.
Of a song that we all began,
But nobody knows how it ends.
There were summertime shows at the Exit In,
Playing like we'll never get the chance again.
Spotting big shots in the crowd,
Hoping they'd find us out.
And when the lights went down,
We were singing.
Oh oh oh...
We were young and fun,
Just another band on the run.
Oh oh oh...
We were just chasing dreams,
Finding out in the meantime what it means.
To be young and wild and free.
We were twenty three.
Living out our teenage fantasies,
Dreaming about the possibilities.
You never know,
Who'll be on the cover of the next Rolling Stone you see.
And we were singing.
Oh oh oh...
We were young and fun,
Just another band on the run.
Oh oh oh...
We were just chasing dreams,
Finding out in the meantime what it means.
To be young and wild and free.
We were twenty three.
It was brighter by the day and better by the minute.
Having twice as much fun 'cause we were all in it.
[x2]
Gonna be the ones with the sold out shows.
Wanted everyone to know our name,
We were busy chasing lights and fame.
A band in a van headed to your town,

Loving Los Angeles lyrics - Dave Barnes
LA girl, Cali queen.
Dipping your toes in the seldom scene, oh baby, ooh.
But I guess you did what you thought you should
And it ain't doing my heart no good, oh baby, oh no.
Now I don't know what to do.
Killing time, just waiting on you.
We could have had that good good good easy loving,
That makes the hard times go away.
I tried all I could,
But it isn't really doing me any good.
I'm as low as lonely gets,
And I hear you're loving Los Angeles.
Cali's got the ocean breeze.
But you and I, honey, got history, oh baby, ooh.
And I hear your dreams are coming true
But I got things I wanna dream with you, oh baby.
Now I don't know what to do.
Am I wasting time here waiting on you?
We could have had that good good good easy loving,
That makes the hard times go away.
I tried all I could,
But it isn't really doing me any good.
I'm as low as lonely gets,
And I hear you're loving Los Angeles.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only one I'll keep waiting on.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only one I'll keep waiting on.
We could have had that good good good easy loving,
That makes the hard times go away.
I tried all I could,
But it isn't really doing me any good.
I'm as low as lonely gets,
And I hear you're loving Los Angeles.
Honey, honey, honey, I wanna wait on you.
Honey, honey, honey, I wanna wait on you.
Honey, honey, honey, I wanna wait on you.
Dipping your toes in the seldom scene, oh baby, ooh.
But I guess you did what you thought you should
And it ain't doing my heart no good, oh baby, oh no.
Now I don't know what to do.
Killing time, just waiting on you.
We could have had that good good good easy loving,
That makes the hard times go away.
I tried all I could,
But it isn't really doing me any good.
I'm as low as lonely gets,
And I hear you're loving Los Angeles.
Cali's got the ocean breeze.
But you and I, honey, got history, oh baby, ooh.
And I hear your dreams are coming true
But I got things I wanna dream with you, oh baby.
Now I don't know what to do.
Am I wasting time here waiting on you?
We could have had that good good good easy loving,
That makes the hard times go away.
I tried all I could,
But it isn't really doing me any good.
I'm as low as lonely gets,
And I hear you're loving Los Angeles.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only one I'll keep waiting on.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only I've been waiting on.
You're the only one I'll keep waiting on.
We could have had that good good good easy loving,
That makes the hard times go away.
I tried all I could,
But it isn't really doing me any good.
I'm as low as lonely gets,
And I hear you're loving Los Angeles.
Honey, honey, honey, I wanna wait on you.
Honey, honey, honey, I wanna wait on you.
Honey, honey, honey, I wanna wait on you.
Good lyrics - Dave Barnes
As the sun slowly rises above the river
I look out over all that God has made
Listen as the day starts to awaken
I thank God for things that never change
I can hear her laughing in the kitchen
And the sounds of little footsteps on the stairs
I’ve got all I’ll ever need: a wife, a home, a family
And I thank God for all those answered prayers
And it’s good
I got more than I ever thought I would
I can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
The lessons in the mistakes
Help me count these blessings like I should
And it’s so good
Every day’s a gift that I’ve been given
Every breath feels like a second chance
And everything I’ve done heaven has seen
And God just keeps on forgiving me, and I
Do my best to change what I can
And it’s so good
I got more than I ever thought I would
I can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
The lessons in the mistakes
Help me count these blessings like I should
And it’s good to know that I have been forgiven
Good to have her laying by my side
I’ve been given more than I deserve
For a past so full of bridges burned
I couldn’t make this better if I tried
And it’s so good
I got more than I ever thought I would
I can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
The lessons in the mistakes
Help me count these blessings like I should
And it’s so good
I look out over all that God has made
Listen as the day starts to awaken
I thank God for things that never change
I can hear her laughing in the kitchen
And the sounds of little footsteps on the stairs
I’ve got all I’ll ever need: a wife, a home, a family
And I thank God for all those answered prayers
And it’s good
I got more than I ever thought I would
I can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
The lessons in the mistakes
Help me count these blessings like I should
And it’s so good
Every day’s a gift that I’ve been given
Every breath feels like a second chance
And everything I’ve done heaven has seen
And God just keeps on forgiving me, and I
Do my best to change what I can
And it’s so good
I got more than I ever thought I would
I can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
The lessons in the mistakes
Help me count these blessings like I should
And it’s good to know that I have been forgiven
Good to have her laying by my side
I’ve been given more than I deserve
For a past so full of bridges burned
I couldn’t make this better if I tried
And it’s so good
I got more than I ever thought I would
I can finally see how all the wrong turns and the heartaches
The lessons in the mistakes
Help me count these blessings like I should
And it’s so good
