Gonna get where you're going Gonna button it up Spend your last dollar on your last full cup Keep scooting and dragging On your blistering feet Chasing that high every time you meet Wrangle that mustang and you ride it through town Hit the gas if you're slowing down Keep dropping those pennies And your nickels and dimes You'll make more when you make the time Keep racing your shadow Leave him far behind If he's trailing, sun still shines Pull your hat over red and tired eyes Rest your back when you're out of tries I know that you ain't much for leaving We both know that I am Find you favorite chair In your favorite place I'll sit beside you when I can When your spinning them tires And there's holes in the shoes Every mile you borrowed left a bruise When your tired of reading Every passing sign You ain't lasting, thats just fine They'll take another till you're drinking alone Pay the bill and stumble home I know that you ain't much for leaving We both know that I am Find you favorite chair In your favorite place I'll sit beside you when I can I know that you ain't much for leaving We both know that I am Find you favorite chair In your favorite place I'll sit beside you when I can I'll sit beside you when I can I'll sit beside you...when I can

I am a hammer swinging and that's what they keep me for Haven't met a rock yet that I can't bust up a little more Whenever I stop working I'm kindly shown the door I am a hammer swinging and that's what they keep me for A handle made of polished oak, and my head is solid steel I kissed so many things goodbye, I've forgotten how to feel Always I'm a moving, towards my next meal A handle made of polished oak, and my head is solid steel I'm coming on down I'm coming on down My face is just a few Inches from the ground I'm coming on down I'm coming on do-ow-own I am an old hammer swinging round Haven't met a problem where a good swift tap won't do Left my mark on industry in at least a town or two Tunnels they have felt me as I'm passing through Haven't met a problem where a good swift tap won't do I'm coming on down I'm coming on down My face is just a few Inches from the ground I'm coming on down I'm coming on do-ow-own I am an old hammer swinging round Many hands have held me and many more have tried Some went away form growing old, some just up and died Cannot count the times I stole a sparkle from their eye Many hands have held me and many more have tried I'm coming on down I'm coming on down My face is just a few Inches from the ground I'm coming on down I'm coming on do-ow-own I am an old hammer swinging round

Forgotten 03:29
So she's gone, and I stayed So she's gone, always knew she'd fly away I never tried to claim her, and I knew I never could So she's gone, and I stand, where she stood Heaven send a strong storm down Help me wash bitter words from my mouth The same wall that held back, my fair-well please don't go Kept me silent as she faded down the road All you left was a footprint in the mud And the memories I never will return So go run into the rain, on the dirt trail where we met You won't look back, I won't forget My last breath is coming soon Caught the end like and old mans known to do I filled a box with pages, pictures all of you Takes me back, to that girl just passing through All you left was a footprint in the mud And the memories I never will return So go run into the rain, on the dirt trail where we met You won't look back, I won't forget So go run into the rain, on the dirt trail where we met You won't look back, I won't forget

Come Wind, I need to talk to you Come wind, blow by my door I know you don't want to hear from me Listen once and you won't have to anymore I know your dancing there in the leaves I see and hear you there And if you could take me far away from here Let me ride, on open air Twisting water, come wash over me Twisting water, I'm dirty from my sin And I know you don't owe me a thing With your help I can be clean again There's a list of things I wouldn't do And a longer one of evil that I've done Can you find it in your heart to watch over me And I'll put to bed each and every one Old stone, teach me how you do not move Old stone, share your ancient ways If I held the secret to stand strong and still I could sing of the brighter days When they lay broken pieces at my door I turn and find a way to hide And if I knew only how to plant my feet I could do the things I've never tried Come Wind, I need to talk to you Come wind, blow by my door I know you don't want to hear from me Listen once and you won't have to anymore Come Wind, I need to talk to you Come wind, blow by my door I know you don't want to hear from me Listen once and you won't have to anymore

Ghost Ship 03:33
I spent days looking for, a river to run down Wooden ship is sinking with its feet up off the ground I sent days looking for, a river to run down Left the shore and now we're sea floor bound Well my crew couldn't stay, left in the last town Women slinging whiskey is a better way to drown My crew couldn't stay, left in the last town Painted lips will give the run around Barley merrily, waiting on a dream Barley merrily, it ain't floating down a stream It's a ghost ship, and a death wish, for me Well my gold went away, a penny at a time Rubies, pearls, and diamonds well them rocks were never mine My gold went away, a penny at a time The good lord must be giving me a sign Barley merrily, waiting on a dream Barley merrily, it ain't floating down a stream It's a ghost ship, and a death wish, for me

about

This is Ben Gage's first solo album, but its not solo at all! Some of Northeast Ohio's best hung out and lent their talents to a new cause.

These songs are stories about growing up in the rust belt, living in a strong and honest blue collar family, seeking your dreams, saying goodbyes and finding your place.
