SWEET WILD LILY
Words and music by Ben Glover
My sweet wild Lily, I see you floating by
Between the waves dancing and the deep drifting sky
Come on home to yourself now Lily
You’ve been gone a while
There's something missing
From your eyes, in your smile
Sweet wild Lily
Oh my sweet wild Lily, life comes at us fast
We're so far down the line there's no going back
We all need our north star
There's so much more than what we see
Sometimes we stray, get in our own way
Be our own worst enemy
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily
Don't go searching for your trouble, for your pain
Let go of the story that you've playing time and time again
You've known freedom
You watched the horses run
But now you're lost in your head, in words that were said
Tangled in silver threads
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily
Sweet wild Lily

ARGUING WITH GHOSTS
Word and music by Ben Glover/Gretchen Peters/Matraca Berg
I get lost in my hometown
Since they tore the drive in down
I find myself all turned around
I get lost in my hometown
I'm getting hard to recognize
They say the mirror never lies
I've still got my father’s eyes
But I'm getting hard to recognise
There's a picture on the wall
We got married in the fall
I don't know those kids at all
There's a picture on the wall
The years go by like days
Sometimes the days go back like years
And I don't know which one I hate the most
At the same old kitchen table
In the same old busted chair
I'm drinking whiskey and arguing with the ghosts
Arguing with the ghosts
I light one cigarrette a day
I watch it burn then walk away
A wisp of smoke in your old ashtray
I light one cigarrette a day
The years go by like days
Sometimes the days go back like years
And I don't know which one I hate the most
At the same old kitchen table
At the same old busted chair
I'm drinking whiskey and arguing with the ghosts
Arguing with the ghosts

BROKE DOWN
Words & music by Ben Glover & Gretchen Peters
Coffee black, I'm shifting gears
One headlight, but the night is clear
I called you up from my hotel room
When the phone just rang that's when I knew
You're the sun going down
You're the circus leaving town
and I'm standing with a ticket in my hand
You're the last wreckin truck
Disappearing in the dust
And I'm standing in the road
Broke down, broke down, broke down
Interstate pushing eighty-five
Sun comes up, pulling in the drive
Reaching out with my one free hand
Turned the front door key and heard the back door slam
You're the sun going down
You're the circus leaving town
and I'm standing with a ticket in my hand
You're the last wreckin truck
Disappearing in the dust
And I'm standing in the road
Broke down, broke down, broke down

Fireflies Dancing
Words & music by Ben Glover
Fireflies dancing a July night
Fireflies dancing on a July night
We're here and gone in the blink of an eye
Sister, brother just for now
Sister, brother just for now
Lay our troubles and worries down
There’s a place where the mountain meets the sea
There’s a place where the mountain meets the sea
That’s where my soul knows how to be free
I dreamed Gracie and I walked hand in hand
Dreamed Gracie and I walked hand in hand
Our feet sinking into that golden sand
See my thoughts aint heavy, my heart is light
My thoughts aint heavy, my heart is light
When I got Gracie by my side
It’s time just wasted holding regret
It’s time just wasted holding regret
We don’t know how it’s all gonna turn out yet
All life’s a dance ‘tween joy and hurt
All life’s a dance ‘tween joy and hurt
'Tween the stars in the sky and the flowers in the dirt
Shall we be each other’s guiding hand
Shall we be each other’s guiding hand
When night comes falling on the land
Fireflies dancing on a July night
Fireflies dancing on a July night
We're here and gone in the blink of an eye
