Stephen Thomas "Steve" Azar (born April 11, 1964, Greenville, Mississippi, United States) is an American country music artist. Azar was signed to River North Nashville in 1995, and he released his debut album on February 27, 1996. After leaving River North, Azar took time away from his music. He returned in 2002 with his biggest hit, the No. 2 "I Don't Have to Be Me ('Til Monday)", which was the lead-off single from his second studio album, Waitin' on Joe. "I Don't Have to Be Me ('Til Monday)" received three Million-Air awards from BMI and is currently one of the top five most played songs of the past decade on US country radio. The title track, Waitin' on Joe, went to #1 on CMT and featured Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman. In 2006, Azar released the single "You Don't Know a Thing". The single was supposed to be the lead-off to a third studio album, via Midas Records Nashville. When the song failed to make the Top 40, Azar left Midas. In early-2008, he formed his own label, Ride Records, and released Indianola in 2008, Slide On Over Here in 2009 and Delta Soul: Volume 1 in 2011.
Walk away from the walls that you?ve been bangin? on
Lay down your down and low and wake up the dawn
Wish on your star and leave heartache alone
Well, if you?re gonna do it you better get to it
?For it?s gone, long, long, gone
Save a little light while the sun is shinin?
Take a little trip past your horizon
And write another verse in your open book
Let everybody know every step you took on the way
How long can you say, that somehow someday
You?re gonna turn it around, what?s wrong with right now?
Go on and fill in that emptiness with a big ol? smile
Kick off your loneliness and just stay a while
Throw away your old clothes and get yourself some style
Well, here?s your chance better go on and get it
?For it?s gone, long, long, gone
Save a little light while the sun is shinin?
Take a little trip past your horizon
And write another verse in your open book
Let everybody know every step you took on the way
How long can you say, that somehow someday
You?re gonna turn it around? What?s wrong with right now?
It?s so perfectly timed, it?s so silver lined
It? starin? you down, so what?s wrong with right now?
How long can you say that somehow someday
You?re gonna turn it around? What?s wrong with right now?
Save a little light while the sun is shinin?
Take a little trip past your horizon
What?s wrong with right now?
Save a little light while the sun is shinin?
Take a little trip past your horizon
Save a little light while the sun is shinin?
Take a little trip past your horizon
What?s wrong with right now?
Save a little light while the sun is shinin?
