Get Away (words & music by Craig Haller)
She is the girl that fathers warn their sons about
She seems like a catch - but to her it’s just a game of catch and release
She don’t know right from wrong, but she’s got it going on
I might as well be crazy just to think about it
I’m just a simple man, doing the best I can
But I’m attracted to danger, gotta learn the hard way
She comes a calling - I always answer
I know I shouldn’t but I can’t say no to her
She’s a Ferrari in the fast lane
Burning rubber like a robber trying to get away
She is the girl that makes a fool of an honest man
She is so sweet, but her sweetness is the poison that pulls me in
She makes me feel so good, so very understood
I might as well be crazy just to play along
I’m just the other man, don’t know how this began
I wish that she would be mine but it was only my turn
She comes a calling - I always answer
I know I shouldn’t but I can’t say no to her
She’s a Ferrari in the fast lane
Burning rubber like a robber trying to get away
Next time she calls me - I shouldn’t answer
I probably will, but I gotta say no to her
She’s a Ferrari in the fast lane
Burning rubber, but I really gotta get away

Enjoy the Ride (words & music by Craig Haller)
You've spent a lifetime waiting in line
Waiting to get on the ride
It's time to recognize that you're already on one
Spins of laughter, whirls of love
Twists of fate that hang above
A different thrill awaits on every corner
This life is a ride - do what makes you feel alive
It goes up and down, spins around, and gives you one hell of a fight
Live it up, live it loud - live a life that makes you proud
When you fall down, get up, you'll fall again
Just try to stay above the ground
Do your best, enjoy the ride
No one leaves this world alive
There's only one way off this ride
Enjoy it while it lasts - ‘cause it won't last
May all the free falls that frighten you
Excite you into something new
Fear can make you weak or it can make you stronger
This life is a ride - do what makes you feel alive
It goes up and down, spins around, and gives you one hell of a fight
Live it up, live it loud - live a life that makes you proud
When you fall down, get up, you'll fall again
Just try to stay above the ground
Do your best, enjoy the ride

Mississippi Queen (words & music by Craig Haller)
Pick me up now on out of this hole
I can't seem to see the other side
Take me to a place where there's no one left to blame
It's just me that's trying to hide
I don't know where the loneliness goes
When I have you in my arms
You take my breath away, that's all that I can say
I just need you here right now
There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
But now the sun don't shine anymore
I'm sick of being a whore
My Mississippi Queen, the devil's in my dreams
Wake me up, get me out of this dream
'Cause life's a constant waterfall
Never really thought that life could be this hard
But thanks to you I'm not alone
Come with me now, let's get out of here
We'll drive to San Francisco Bay
We'll take a trip or two, baby I'll be next to you
And we'll return again, return again someday
We can be free
Baby, you and me, I'll take care of you
No matter how hard life can be
There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
But now the sun don't shine anymore
I'm sick of being ignored
My Mississippi Queen, the devil's in my head
There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
I don't have to be alone anymore
That's what love is for
My Mississippi Queen - you're always in my dreams

Invisible Lines (words & music by Craig Haller)
If I had a dollar for each mistake that I’ve made
I’d go to New York City and buy the place
I am so grateful that I’m still alive
I’m guided by invisible lines
Here’s a toast to all the good friends I’ve made
Whether they’re above the ground or in the grave
For our paths to cross, I must have done something right
I’m guided by invisible lines
It’s a long road to nowhere, to a place with no name
If I did it all over I’d do it the same
I’m so restless from wandering, all of my life
I’d slow down if I could but I’m guided by invisible lines
Here’s a kiss for the women I’ve loved
We made each other strong when we moved on
I hope you’re happy 'cause I’m doing just fine
Still guided by invisible lines
It’s a long road to nowhere, to a place with no name
If I did it all over I’d do it the same
I’m so restless from wandering, all of my life
I’d slow down if I could but I’m guided by invisible lines
If I had a song for every wrong note I played
I’d go to Music City and make it rain
Pick up a six-string and find me some rhymes
And be guided by invisible lines
Oh, I'm guided by invisible lines

Slow It Down (words & music by Craig Haller)
The hand tic-tocs around the clock - where has the time gone?
I try to feel the moment but it keeps on keeping on
I got settled in the groove and tried to do the best I could
Sometimes it gets so hard but still I try to see the good
Slow it down - let it go
Keep my eyes on the horizon
‘Til the angels call me home
My thoughts drift off the rails and drive me crazy now and then
I shake it off with laughter as I move full steam ahead
Am I maimed or just deranged? Either way time marches on
I've got to get my head right to keep my mind from being withdrawn
Slow it down - let it go
Keep my eyes on the horizon
‘Til the angels call me home
The sun settles like a picture as I recollect the day
I tell myself "I'm grateful" but I long for yesterday
I wanna drive into the dust and settle down in a desert town
Take a chance on a second chance to turn this dream around
Slow it down - let it go
Keep my eyes on the horizon
‘Til the angels call me home

Passenger Side (words & music by Jeff Tweedy)
Hey, wake up, your eyes weren't open wide
For the last couple of miles, you've been swerving from side to side
You're gonna make me spill my beer
If you don't learn how to steer
Passenger side, passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Roll another number for the road
You're the only sober person I know
Won't you let me make you a deal
Just get behind the wheel
Passenger side, passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger side
Should've been the driver
Could've been the one
I should've been your lover, but I hadn't seen
Can you take me to the store, then the bank?
I've got five dollars we can put in the tank
I've got a court date coming this June
I'll be driving soon
Passenger side, passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger side
I don't like riding on the passenger side

Craig Haller Nashville, Tennessee
Craig Haller was born with a chip on his shoulder and a song in his heart. His music is the byproduct of many hours spent in obsessive contemplation. With a flair for memorable melodies and an overabundance of poetic license, he happily casts himself as lord of his own creative landscape—a land of genre fluidity, appetizing aural atmospheres, and turns of phrase that refuse to be pinned down. ... more
