The Red Clay Strays - Made By These Moments Lyrics
Disaster
I'm a giant slayer
I'm a music player
I'm a young king walking
Now the prophet's talking
I don't wanna say I got carried away
When I really just killed a man
Oh, God, disaster struck again
So what do you have to say about saints?
They're no better than the one they say the world taints
If you're looking for a prophet, I'll tell ya, I ain't
But I know when it's gonna rain
So what do you have to say about life?
The One we laid down who turned dark to light
The world let Him down, so He came around
When disaster struck again
I'm the wisest counsel
I can speak a mouth full
I got wives and treasures
And foreign gods for pleasure
Maybe I denied when I split up my tribe
That I was losing myself to sin
Oh, God, disaster struck again
So what do you have to say about saints?
They're no better than the one they say the world taints
If you're looking for a prophet, I'll tell ya, I ain't
But I know when it's gonna rain
So what do you have to say about life?
The One they laid down and turned dark to light
The world let Him down, so He came around
'Cause He wanted us back again
Baby's callin', strength is fallin'
I don't wanna let you down
Crushed a lion to keep from dyin'
But all I've ever found is once again
We've all sinned
Disaster struck again
What do you have to say about saints?
They're no better than the ones they say the world taints
If you're looking for a prophet, I'll tell ya, I ain't
But I know when it's gonna rain
So what do you have to say about life?
The One we laid down and turned dark to light
The world let Him down, so He came around
When disaster struck again
Oh, Lord, disaster struck again
Oh, Lord, disaster struck again
Oh, Lord, oh, disaster struck again

Wasting Time
Another year 'round the sun, ain't nothing's been done
I've gotta get out of this state I'm in
My wheels have been spinnin', but I ain't been movin'
Gotta get back on track again
I've been stuck in a rut, just a-kickin' up mud
And I'm sick of waitin' 'round for a change
I got my foot on the gas, gonna make things happen
And do 'em all my own way
Can't waste, won't waste
Ain't wastin' time no more
I can't wait, won't waste
Ain't wastin' time no more
Well, livin' the dream ain't what it seems
I know this to be true
These fair weather friends only grab your attention
When they want somethin' from you
You'll quickly see the difference between
Who's really on your side
And who wants a dime of your every dollar
Just to hang you out to dry
Can't waste, won't waste
Ain't wastin' time no more
I can't wait, won't waste
Ain't wastin' time no more
Well, if ya want somethin' done and you want it done right
You've gotta go do it on your own
I'm done wastin' time with these suits and ties
Tryin' to take a piece of my soul
They wanna tell me how to look and rip it straight from a book
Of how to formulate a star
Provin' a point over and over
They don't care who you are
Can't waste, won't waste
Ain't wastin' time no more
I can't wait, won't waste
Ain't wastin' time no more

Wanna Be Loved
Everybody's waiting for a break
Like fast cars and freedom
Everybody wants the same old things
Tell me what will it bring
My friend, I'm tired of being this way
I'm tired of running astray
Oh God, I need to know you're still above
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
Am I working hard enough?
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
They say that faith can move a mountain
But I'm built for the climb
So tell me am I faithful or just too stubborn?
Tell me what will I find
At the peak at the top at the end of the line
And at the end of my life
Oh, tell me how my climb will be judged
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
Am I working hard enough?
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
I've been afraid
And I've been alone
Sometimes I need someone to pick up the phone
I'm tired of the leaving
I need a home
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
Can you tell me I'm worthy or important?
Am I working hard enough?
Oh, I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved
And I want someone to want me
I want somebody there
And I need someone to need me
I need someone who cares

No One Else Like Me
How many mistakes can I make 'fore I start to see?
How much love will it take to make me not wanna leave?
How many tears can I cry before all my tears run dry?
Will I ever be free? Will I ever be free?
Lord, I wanna be free
Well, I'm a broken writer, I'm a restless fighter
And I'm looking for a little hope
I'm a shadowed thinker, I'm a one-eyed blinker
At the end of his rope
I'm a dead man walking, I'm a preacher talking
About love and how to be free
I'm a dying ghost with a heart like most
But Lord, ain't no one else like me
Looking back at the promises that I could never keep
I wonder if there was ever any truth at all in me
Sometimes I wanna run away, go start over in another place
But I'd never be free
Lord, I'd never be free
Well, I'm a broken writer, I'm a restless fighter
And I'm looking for a little hope
I'm a shadowed thinker, I'm a one-eyed blinker
At the end of his rope
I'm a dead man walking, I'm a preacher talking
About love and how to be free
I'm a dying ghost with a heart like most
But Lord, ain't no one else like me
I'm a broken writer, I'm a restless fighter
And I'm looking for a little hope
I'm a shadowed thinker, I'm a one-eyed blinker
At the end of his rope
I'm a dead man walking, a preacher talking
About love and how to be free
Well, I'm a dying ghost with a heart like most
But Lord, oh, Lord, ain't no one else like me
Yeah, no one else like me
No one else like me, oh, oh, yeah
No one else, no one else, no one else
Nobody else, oh

Ramblin'
One, two, three, four
Well, I was born with a travelin' bone
Can't hang around for too long
Been following that long white line
Coast to coast, new town every night
I was born to ramble
I got that travelin' bone
Well, I was born to ramble
So I'll keep ramblin' on
Well, I've seen Boston, San Antone
Kansas City, just a rollin' along
Oklahoma, Tennessee
Louisiana, New Orleans
I was born to ramble
I got that travelin' bone
Well, I was born to ramble
So I'll keep on ramblin' on
Don't get me wrong, I love where I'm from
I got a beautiful woman waitin' on me back home
Don't take for granted my family
But a ramblin' fever got a hold of me
'Cause I was born to ramble
I got that travelin' bone
Well, I was born to ramble
So I'll keep on ramblin' on
Well, I was born to ramble
I'll keep on ramblin' on

Drowning
This life feels like a battle
One that I can't win
It's like I'm swimming against the current
Like I'm running against the wind
It's like I'm going overboard
With an anchor 'round my waist
I lie awake at night with tears in my eyes
My heart beating out of my chest
There's no light at the end of this tunnel I'm in
I'm calling for an S.O.S.
Somebody help me I'm
Drowning
I can't tread much longer I'm
Fighting
To keep my head above the water
Throw me a line, show me a sign
Everything'll be alright
'Cause I feel like I'm
Drowning
Somebody help me out
I try to see the world's true colors
But they're all just shades of gray
And it's only getting duller
Every passing day
And the more I fake a smile
The more I'm bound to break
I've never felt so alone in a crowd full of folks
I'm trying just to hide the pain
It's just a matter of time 'fore I can't see the light
And I hit rock bottom again
Somebody help me I'm
Drowning
I can't tread much longer I'm
Fighting
To keep my head above the water
So throw me a line, show me a sign
Everything'll be alright
'Cause I feel like I'm
Drowning
Somebody help me out
But it goes to show
There ain't always a boat
To lend a helping hand
But if I can find just one way to stay afloat
I'll find my way back to shore again
Somebody help me I'm
Drowning
I can't tread much longer I'm
Fighting
To keep my head above the water
So throw me a line, show me a sign
Everything'll be alright
'Cause I feel like I'm
Drowning
Oh, Lord, I'm drowning
Lord, I'm drowning
Somebody help me out

Devil in My Ear
Why, why, why can't I seem to hold my head up high?
It must be the devil in my ear
I'm not good enough, so what's the use?
Self-medicate and self-abuse
It must be the devil in my ear
I try to push 'em all away
But those thoughts they stick around
Thrivin' on my pain and they keep bringin' me down
I pray to God for peace of mind, for the gloom to disappear
I can't find a cause to live with the devil in my ear
Why, why, why can't I seem to fall asleep at night?
It must be the devil in my head
Depression and anxiety
I can't shake the grip that they've got on me
I know the devil's gotten in my brain
I try to push 'em all away
But those thoughts they stick around
Thrivin' on my pain and they keep bringin' me down
I pray to God for peace of mind, for the gloom to disappear
I can't find a cause to live with the devil in my ear
Why, why, why can't I seem to hold my head up high?
It must be the devil in my ear
I don't wanna die, I wanna live
But my life can't go on like this
And not another day with the devil in my ear
Well, not another day with the devil in my ear
Not another day with the devil in my

I'm Still Fine
Sometimes I feel like I can't feel
This isn't real, I should be hurting
I was alone, I was a song
Music and bone
God's perfect wording
And could the people understand this?
I'm as bruised as a used up canvas
I'm awfully nice, but I'm cold as ice
I've been through hell, but I'll be alright
People here living it up, I think they're blind
I think they're out of their minds
Not one of them has had this
God's not giving me up, no, I'm just fine
It's just a matter of time
Oh, I don't feel my sadness
I know it should be there
Maybe I'm too tired to care
But I'm still fine
I'm on display, I've lost my way
Oh God, I pray, let this pass over
I lost the note, I rocked the boat
I've even choked, I lost my composure
People here living it up, I think they're blind
I think they're out of their minds
Not one of them has had this
God's not giving me up, no, I'm just fine
It's just a matter of time
Though I can't feel my sadness
I know it should be there
Maybe I'm too tired to care
Maybe I've been giving my love and all my time
Yeah, ya know I'm stronger in the long run
Oh, but Father, I'm afraid You picked the wrong one
People here living it up, I think they're blind
I think they're out of their minds
Not one of them has had this
God's not giving me up, no, I'm just fine
It's just a matter of time
Though I can't feel my sadness
I know it should be there
Maybe I'm too tired to care
Maybe I've been giving my love and all my time
Oh, I know I should be scared
Maybe I'm too tired to care
But I'm still fine
Oh, oh, I'm still fine

On My Knees
I'm gonna fall down on my knees
And praise the Lord, for bringing me peace
I'll lift my hands in His company
For you know, I am grateful
For what He has done for me
People always try to tell me
Just do what you wanna do
But I try to rely on my mama's advice
And that's always got me through
Well, I've fallen short of glory
At least a time or two
Temptation all around me
Now I'm reaching out to you
I'm gonna fall down on my knees
And thank the Lord, for bringing me peace
I'll lift my hands in His company
For you know, I am grateful
For what He has done for me
Been barely makin' ends meet
And I'm hardly scrapin' by
Bills stacked on the table
Been messin' with my mind
I'm fightin' worldly pressure
Like I never have before
There's only one thing I can think to do
'Cause I can't take no more
Oh, I'm gonna fall down on my knees
And thank the Lord, for bringing me peace
I'll lift my hands in His company
For you know, I am grateful
For what He has done for me
Well, I praise the Lord
Well, I praise the Lord
Well, I praise the Lord
Yeah, I praise the Lord
Well, I praise the Lord
Oh Lord, I praise the Lord
I praise the Lord
Oh, I praise the Lord

Moments
I've had love
And I've had heartbreak
I've walked tall and proud
And fallen on my face
I've seen babies grow
And loved ones pass away
I felt a sense of pride
And overwhelming shame
There's joys and trials
As you walk down every mile
I've been holding on to something
This all can't be for nothing
We're all made by these moments
I've been hanging on and hoping
That nothing's ever broken
We're all made by these moments
I've been full of life
I've been full of fear
I've wanted to be seen
And wanted to disappear
So the story goes
There's always highs and lows
There's things you can't explain
Like finding beauty in the pain
You know there's joys and trials
As we walk down every mile
I've been holding on to something
This all can't be for nothing
We're all made by these moments
I've been holding on and hoping
That nothing's ever broken
We're all made by these moments
And in mysterious ways
Even on the hardest days
There's solid ground I'm standing on
I've been holding on to something
This all can't be for nothing
We're all made by these moments
I've been hanging on and hoping
Nothing's ever broken
We're all made by these moments
Lord, these moments
Yeah, we're all made by these moments
Oh, all made by these moments

God Does
(One, two, three, four)
Some days the devil baits a hook to see if I will bite
A lot of times it feels like I just can't do right
But I know that God does
Well, I know that God does
Some days, waking up for me alone is such a chore
Sometimes I don't have the strength to go on anymore
But I know that God does
Well, I know that God does
Wherever I'm lacking
It's He who makes me whole
Shining through the darkness
And cleaning out my soul
While I'm fighting daily battles
On Him, I can depend
When I open up my heart
And let Him in
When the temperature is rising and patience wearing thin
And I don't have what it takes to cool back down again
But I know that God does
I know that God does
When the rain just keeps on pouring and I can't see the road
Even with a map, sometimes I don't know where to go
But I know that God does
I know that God does
Wherever I'm lacking
It's He who makes me whole
Shining through the darkness
And cleaning out my soul
While I'm fighting daily battles
On Him, I can depend
When I open up my heart
And let Him in
When I lie awake at night, fed up with myself
And wonder if I'm good enough for me or someone else
But I know that God does
Well, I know that God does
