1.   Just Fine 3:39
V1
I tear a hole in my t-shirt 
and I wrap it around my wounds. 
I listen for the sounds of greatness 
But I only hear the sound between my ears.
And it sounds like prairie winds blowing
Across the hills and into the desert a
And over the mountains into the big city
I can hear the sounds of greatness. 
Chorus
And they sound like everything is just fine 
And they sound like everything is just fine 
And they sound like everything is just fine.
And they sound like everything is just fine.
V2
I tear a hole in my t-shirt 
and I wrap it around my wounds. 
I listen for the sounds of greatness 
But I only hear the sound between my ears.
And it sounds like prairie winds blowing
Across the hills and into the desert a
And over the mountains into the big city
I can hear the sounds of greatness. 
Chorus
And they sound like everything is just fine 
And they sound like everything is just fine 
And they sound like everything is just fine.
And they sound like everything is just fine.
2.   Put Me In The Sun 5:09
v.1
Early morning sunrise I rise up with you
Ride my bike down the road bumpy roads
You’ve taken a left and turn back right.
Chorus
If I know when the time comes 
you can’t put me on the shelf  
(you can, you can, you can) Put me in the sun, 
If I know when the time comes 
you can’t put me on the shelf  
(you can, you can, you can) put me in the sun.
bridge
I can find out on my own what is known
It seems such a long windy road. 
v.2
Every time I close my eyes I think in time
Of sunny days and moonlit ways
The taste of honey so sweet 
when you look at me
Dripping down, hanging around. 
Chorus
If I know when the time comes 
you can’t put me on the shelf  
(you can, you can, you can) Put me in the sun, 
If I know when the time comes 
you can’t put me on the shelf  
 (you can, you can, you can) put me in the sun.
Bridge
I can find out on my own what is known
It seems such a long windy road. 
Chorus
If I know when the time comes 
you can’t put me on the shelf  
(you can, you can, you can) Put me in the sun, 
If I know when the time comes 
you can’t put me on the shelf  
 (you can, you can, you can) put me in the sun.

it goes down, on the ground
If anything was to change,
 just let me know, 
but I’m still sure your mine…
You’re still mine 4x
Such pretty lights all around 
and your with me
Maybe we found the common ground, 
don’t mess around, just sing it loud
And every time I think about it,
