I came up with this tune driving through the mountains of Idaho believe it or not. The melody found me and huatned me for months. I was going through a creative drought and this song got me out of it.

Piece by Piece
Written by: Reed Waddle
I find myself singing the same old songs these days
it's like my mind is in a haze
waiting for change to come and save me from this space I'm in
For change comes easy in a world of sink or swim, thick or thin
you do it to yourself time and time again a prisoner of the paths you chose to walk upon
Doctor help us can you please
Help cure the broken heart disease
You've got to get yourself back together piece by piece
CHORUS
Got to keep moving to keep yourself from breaking down
Who are you fooling? It's your own wheels that slow you down
The friends that your choosing
You can fall back on them with ease
High time you get yourself back together piece by piece
I've loved and I've lost
I've learned to live without it
I could teach myself to doubt it
That would leave me with a soul that's faded and a heart that's jaded and mean
I run to see Mary
she works up at the newspaper stand
Oh Mary tell me something good
like no more wars to make mothers cry
or they're finally fixing the hole in the sky
wipe the tears from my eyes
so I can see clearly again
Big old war spinning around
from the shine of the city to the talk of the town
you've got to keep yourself moving to keep from breaking down
CHORUS
Got to keep moving to keep yourself from breaking down
Who are you fooling? It's your own wheels that slow you down
The friends that your choosing
You can fall back on them with ease
High time you get yourself back together piece by piece
Oh you've got to get yourself back together piece by piece
