Homeroom

Verse 1

Once upon a Monday just a couple of kids

We were talkin’ ‘bout your weekend

When we should’ve been listenin’

Teacher came over and said to knock it off

I reached for your hand and told her it was all my fault

Chorus

I’ve never been cool never been tough

Turkey and cheese with my cutoff crust

But you were my pizza Lunchable crush and I was tryin’

Tryin’ to be smooth coming off funny

Laughin’ it off when you kissed my buddies

Playin’ the long game askin’ your Dad for a tip or two

It was a hell of a trip tryin’ to make you fall in homeroom

Verse 2

Saturday morning just you and me and your boyfriend

You were takin’ the hill too fast

And crashed in the neighbor’s fence

Neighbor’s son heard us and he came outside

He cussed at you once and that’s when I lost my first fight

Bridge

I knew it was over long before you said a thing

But I’ll always love you just for showing me

How to be cool how to act tough

How I should chase after what I want

That I can find love with anyone who’s worth the tryin’

Victoria

Verse 1

Rolled into town on a Tuesday night

Early fall around supper time

Your face was red when you said hello

I stole a kiss when you closed the door

Headed out with a few of your friends

I heard ‘em laugh when they saw me dance

Didn’t care wasn’t missin’ my chance 

You only ever get a couple nights like that

Chorus

Victoria, Victoria not trying to make you mine

I know that you get restless when I’m around for too much time

Victoria, Victoria why can’t you understand

That you’ve got yourself most of a winning hand

With the Queen in the heart of a travelin’ man

Verse 2

You made me swear that I wouldn’t fall

I said I wouldn’t but I wasn’t sure

Never knew it would move so fast

But your heart don’t care that you’ve got a plan

Last time I left I was floatin’ so high

I missed the goodbye in your eyes

Cut me loose but if it’s meant to be

You can’t hide a flower from a honey bee

Bridge

Girl I know you’re on the fence

If I can’t knock you down I’m gonna do my best

What's In The Well

Verse 1

Well it’s ’86 in Albany, Friday night bout 6:15

Mom & Dad’s anniversary and Myrese is at the door

Fifty-five & five foot nothin’, sweet as pie, but bible-thumpin’

Everytime we were watchin’ somethin’ she’d come and cut it off

Chorus

She’d say what’s in the well comes up in the bucket

You can waste time but it don’t stop runnin’

Seasons change but it won’t change nothin’

What’s in the well comes up in the bucket

Verse 2

Well it’s ’96 in old NC, friends are passin’ round a magazine

Stuff my Dad wouldn’t let me see so I up & took off

Weird at school for a couple days, everybody asked why I ran away

I couldn’t think of somethin’ cool to say

So I reached for the same old song

Bridge

We haven’t talked since I was seven but

I’ve talked about her my whole life

I guess a good enough lesson keeps itself alive
