listen  "You Still Own Me" by Emerson Drive (Phillip Douglas/Noah Gordon/Johnny Reid)

1st Verse

I put a 'For Sale' sign on the front of my truck
Said, 'Call anytime 'cause I'm always up'
And make a offer
One that I won't refuse

2nd Verse

I bought a one-way ticket on a westbound plane
Before I was there I was wearin' shades
In California
Just hangin' loose

Pre Chorus

I didn't pack one memory
And even though I'm free

Chorus

I can go where I wanna go
Do what I wanna do
Be who I wanna be
But baby, you still own me
Say what I wanna say
Hear what I wanna hear
Dream what I wanna dream
But baby, you still own me

3rd Verse

I was up all night 'cause I couldn't sleep
'Stead 'a starin' at the ceilin'
I hit the beach
Took a long walk
It didn't help me much

4th Verse

I sat down in the sand with a handful 'a shells
Kicked off my shoes
While me, myself, and I watched
The sun come up

Pre Chorus

Lookin' out across the sea
Well, it's finally dawned on me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Maybe I'm not in your arms
(You own me)
You still own my heart

(Repeat Chorus)



listen video  "Moments" by Emerson Drive (Dave Berg/Annie Tate/Sam Tate)

1st Verse

I was comin' to the end of a long, long walk
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
Under the E Street Bridge
Followed me on to it

2nd Verse

I went out halfway across
With that homeless shadow taggin' along
So I dug for some change
Wouldn't need it anyway

Pre Chorus

He took it looking just a bit ashamed
He said, 'You know I haven't always been this way'

1st Chorus

I've had my moments
Days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did
What I thought I couldn't do
Like that plane ride
Comin' home from the war
That summer my son was born
Mem'ries like a coat so warm
The cold wind can't get through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

3rd Verse

Well, I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
Wondered if a single soul on earth
Would care at all
Miss me when I'm gone

4th Verse

That old man just kept hangin' around
Lookin' at me lookin' down
I think he recognized
That look in my eyes

Pre Chorus

Standing with him there I felt ashamed
I said, 'You know I haven't always been this way'

2nd Chorus

I've had my moments
Days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did
What I thought I couldn't do
Like the day I
Walked away from the wine
For a woman who became my wife
A love that, when it was right
Could always see me through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments

Bridge

I know somewhere 'round the trash can fire tonight
That old man tells his story one more time, he says

Tag Chorus

I've had my moments
Days in the sun
Moments I was second to none
Moments when I knew I did
What I thought I couldn't do
Like that cool night
On the E Street Bridge
When a young man almost ended it
I was right there
Wasn't scared a bit
And I helped to pull him through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
But I've had my moments
I've had my moments



listen video  "A Good Man" by Emerson Drive (Keith Follese/Adrienne Follese/Victoria Shaw)

1st Verse

I don't need a whole lotta money
But I wouldn't turn the lottery down
I just need a little green in my pocket
So I can buy my buddies a round
All I want is a place to lay my head
With the woman I love lyin' in my bed
Kind of understated
My dreams aren't that complicated

Chorus

I wanna be the one
When all is said and done
Who lived the good life
Loved a good wife
And always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down
(I) want everyone to gather 'round
And say, 'He was a father'
'Brother, neighbor, and a friend'
'He was a good man'

2nd Verse

Used to dream of bein' a rock star
And seein' the world in style
Used to dream 'a havin' a fast car
And drivin' that miracle mile
But I've heard tell those streets
Aren't paved in gold
They're full 'a potholes
And empty souls who never learned
Love is something you gotta earn

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

When I'm gone
I wanna leave a legacy
Of love and laughs and honesty
Behind me, behind me

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Yeah, I wanna be a good man
A father, a brother
A neighbor, and a friend
I wanna be a good man



video  "Fall Into Me" by Emerson Drive (Danny Orton/Jeremy Stover)

Tease

Right here waiting, staying strong
Come and fall into me

1st Verse

You say you've turned it off
Hid your heart up on a shelf
Scared of what it might cost
To take it down for someone else
'Cause lovin' him you lost
Too much of yourself
Baby, can't you see
That he's not me, and

Chorus

I need you to know you can fall into me
That my arms are wide open and will always be
Right here waiting, staying strong
Come and fall into me

2nd Verse

I'll follow any road
Anywhere to get to you
I'll open up my soul
If that's what you need me to do
Now baby, it's your move
All you've got to do
Is believe in love
Just believe in us, and

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Just believe in love
Just believe in us, baby

(Repeat Chorus)

Come and fall into me
(Fall into me)
Baby, fall into me
(Fall into me)



video  "I Should Be Sleeping" by Emerson Drive (Lisa Drew/Shaye Smith)

1st Verse

I never knew there were such great movies
On TV at 3 a.m.
I'd never guess that at midnight Tuesday
I could have pizza ordered in
I've never been a real night owl
But these days I'm all turned 'round
There's only one thing I'm sure of right now

Chorus

(When) I should be sleepin'
'Stead of keepin' these late hours
I've been keepin'
I've been pacin' and retracin'
Every step of every move
And even though I'm feelin' so right
I'm so happy, still I know
I should be sleepin'
'Stead of dreamin' about you

2nd Verse

I never knew that I was funny
'Til I went and made you laugh
Never liked a girl to call me 'Honey'
But you did, and I liked that
I keep thinkin' about your smile
Tryin' to read between the lines
Looks like I'll be up for awhile

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

After just three dates
(Just three dates)
And one great kiss
(One great kiss)
It's way too soon
(It's way too soon)
To be obsessing like this

(Repeat Chorus)

Tag

Dreamin' about you
I should be sleepin'
Dreamin' about you
I'm dreamin' about you, yeah
