Cold Hearted Woman You’re sittin alone in a crowded room Wonderin if I miss you too 3 am, and the nights upon you Waitin there for someone to hold on to And the morning comes, a little too soon Here I am, lying awake 3 am, and your loves at stake You said it’s over and I’m feeling the pain, Here we go again, making another mistake. You called, but you’re too late There’s no reconcile you can make You said I love you and I’ll always be true You must think I’m still in love with you It might be a lie, but I think I will survive I can’t keep hangin on to feelings that have died You can’t hold me back no more You broke my heart and I’m settling the score. Cold Hearted woman No aces up your sleeve To you, love’s just a game Not reality Cold Hearted woman Now you will see It’s you,who’ll be sufferin, suffering for me.

Loner 03:05
Loner Driving down this empty highway Looking past the pouring rain All is black, except the lights that guide me To an end I have yet to see Sometimes I can’t help but wonder What the hell is wrong with me Everytime someone gets too close I run away… I’m just a Loner, I can’t stay I’m just a Loner, there’s nothing you can say I’m gonna miss you and I hate leaving this way But I’m just a Loner You didn’t listen to what I said No commitments they’re to hard to forget You want something that I can’t give, you want love.

Trail of tears Saw you yesterday, outside your back door Just driving by, cause I don’t live there anymore We were friends, but you wanted something more It went too far, now I’m gonna lose you for sure It’s about time, that I let you know It wasn’t you, or the feeling that you showed When I walked out on you, and closed all the doors I couldn’t give you, what you’re looking for You asked me why I had to go We’re going somewhere that we’ve never gone before I said we’re friends and I don’t want that to end You said it’s too late and I can’t go back again I’m leaving you, in a Trail of tears And I know, that I won’t see you again I wanna go back, to the way it was before But I know that you won’t show me the way back home (Show me the way, back home oh no)

On the line 03:48
On the line As the clouds erase the sunlight, to an errie kind of grey As the rain falls breaking the silence, cleansing away the pain In danger of losing my mind I’m sinking fast in a sea of desire Caught in the moment, but it’s passing me by Is it love or am I living a lie? All this time, I thought all you wanted was me All this time, I fought for you and you abandoned me All this time, I really need to know, are you gonna be leaving me… On the line, my hearts on the line Why can’t you tell me if I’m wasting my time On the line, my hearts on the line You know you’re tearing me apart inside On the line, my hearts on the line Why can’t you decide?

Missing you 03:29
Missing you I remember the tears and the lies As you turned and said goodbye You said there was no other way No feelings left inside I couldn’t find the words to say To make it all alright It’s been 10 years since you left me that day And every now and then I wish I could relive those moments agian Hey baby, what you doin’ now? Just wanted to know if you were happy with what you found Hey baby, am I gettin through I just wanted to say that I missed you, I’ve been Missing you So I turned and watched you go You drove away as I starred through my window I sold my house and moved away, I couldn’t bear to stay

I believe 04:09
I Believe One day, I was led astray to a small town I was amazed by reality Just like the tv shows, there’s no one that no one knows Except a stranger, like me No one to bring you down, no one to bring you down Where I come from, we’re all surrounded The concrete jungle is not for me Survival of the beast on every city street Even love is not for free Here life can bring you down, they’ll try to bring you down But through the darkness, I see a field of grain Through this endless night I can see through the pain Cause I believe, the through the darkest night You can find the day I believe, two wrings don’t make a right, you’ll see Cause I believe, that through the clouds of grey There’s silver lining I believe You can through anything, you can find a way Even in the shadow of doubt, you can succeed (can succeed) Even if the worlds against you, bring it to it’s knees, just believe

Blue skies 03:35
Blue skies Just a shell remains of the man I used to be Year after year as the end grows near, still I can’t believe As I look through these eyes at the life I try to lead Time after time, you are still on my mind, why’d you have to leave? I can still see you by my side, as the sun begins to rise Everyday I think of you, why’d you say goodbye? Blue skies, just like the color of your eyes Shining like stars in the moonlight Blue skies, just like the color of your eyes Just like the way I feel inside, without you

Lies 04:39
Lies Johnny was 5 years old A troubled soul with a heart of gold Trying to be the best that he can be Searched for his parents love, but all he found was pain Beating him again, will it ever end? Telling him he’s not right that he’s the devil within Telling him that’s it’s alright and it’ll never happen again He hides his cries in fright that he’ll be hurt again From the Lies All they’re telling me is Lies, as I’m crying in the night I try to understand but I can’t see Why, are they treating me this way, what did I do what did I say I wish that I could make it go away Johnny, he’s older now A troubled soul, but his spirit’s unbroken He’s finally realized what he must do Johnny told the truth And bared the scars of his youth Now he’s alone, but not abused The dreams still haunt him, in the end he was saved by the truth Good luck was on his side, cause most of time the children die…

Situations 02:38
Situations Here I’m walkin, in the pouring rain Still I see her face, I know who to blame Circumstances, I couldn’t control Put my mind on an overload Oh no I can’t explain the pain Feel like prisoner, I’ve sealed my fate But I know that the journeys not complete Til I find a remedy For Situations, that I can’t control Makes me crazy, burdens my soul Situations, can’t seem to compromise My reasoning, anymore..

Out of time 03:57
Out of time I’m starring in the mirror, the demons in my eyes Although I see myself it’s different inside When I look again I see another face where mine should be This can’t be real, it must be a dream Don’t know what’s happened to me I’m beside myself And he won’t listen to me, he’s thinking for himself I’m running Out of time I can’t control myself I’ve got to stop him ‘for he kills again I’m running Out of time, no matter what I do Cause every road leads back to you When you left, you took my heart too When I get mine back I’m leaving him with you

about

30 years ago, three guys and one engineer recorded this in 10 hours.from start to finish. There are more people to thank than I could ever list here, snd they know who they are. Mostly I'd like to thank Jody amd Brian for everything they did; Lonnie for working with us and playing on the album; and you for helping me keep my music alive.

about

Joe Robinson Kings Mountain, Kentucky

I grew up in a family of musicians and started my journey in the eighties, first writing, singing and later picking up a guitar. Over the years I've played with many talented players and bands, but bands came and went so I decided to go it alone.

“Faith”, “Heart of Stone”, and “My Technology” are a culmination of my writing while I was away and a glimpse of what I’m capable of as an artist.
