You're such a sexy thing and it's all right
But your daddy loves you and that's all right
He buys you diamond rings, but I'm giving you better things
That's all right, all right
chorus
No doubt about it you're the queen of the fine
You can crawl up in me any ol' time
Slide up slow like a rattlesnake
Suck me in with every move you make
Heartbreaker
You talk so soft and sexy call me honey
Your eyes make love to me, take my money
Your body can hypnotize you let me fantasize
I can't hide it, I can't hide it
chorus
No doubt about it you're the queen of the fine
You can crawl up in me any ol' time
Slide up slow like a rattlesnake
Suck me in with every move you make
Heartbreaker
The more I get the more I need
You have no idea what you're doing to me
I breakdown, I breakdown
The only way to forget about my ex
Is the wonderful sound of your sex yeah
You're so sexy, I want to touch you
But it's closing time, what could I do
You drive up in your Corvette
I try to get you into my Corvette
No dice
But I still love you
chorus
No doubt about it you're the queen of the fine
I'd like to see you here tomorrow night
Slide up slow like a rattlesnake
Suck me in with every move you make
Heartbreaker
The more I want, the more I need
No idea what you're doing to me
Heartbreaker
Yeah I, I like it

Lately I just ain't been myself
Lately I've been feelin' somethin' else
These thoughts ain't helping me, to let go of your
memory
Lately I just ain't been myself
There's a time to hurt, a time to heal
Yeah but lately, that just ain't the way I feel
Like some famous final scene, I saw once on my TV
screen
You'll come back to me, ain't that the way that it's
supposed to be
(Chorus)...I said, You're the one I hold onto
You're the one who gets me through
Every second without you
Is just wasted time
You can take my soul, you can take my freedom
Take my heart cuz I won't need it Every second without
I've come to find
Is just wasted time...
So many things I can't replace
I miss your smile, your tears, the lines on your pretty
face
Didn't know what I lost until you were gone
What felt so right, now feels so wrong
The same road that carries me
Is now the one that buries me, you see...
(CHORUS)
All the things I meant to say are now so clear
I know what I'd say if you were standin' here
Somewhere between the dark and the light
Between the who's wrong and the who's right
Between the hellos and the goodbyes
If you were here with me tonight, I'd say

Government sent your sons to die
Cameras catch the mothers crying
But it’s alright, no it’s not alright
Love and peace buy a bigger gun
That is how the war game is won
But it’s alright, no it’s not alright
Pre Pre-chorus 1
Good evening and welcome to the revolution
The next big TV show
One big problem with no solution
That’s how our ratings grow
Pre-chorus
First we make you
Then we break you
You’re so disposable
Charge the line
And don’t ask why
Do or die is all we know
Chorus
War machine
Hate and greed
Watch them bleed
On TV.
Look into a soldier’s eyes
He ask no questions tells no lies
Is he alright, no he’s not alright
Unsung heroes die in vain
We don’t even know their names
Is that alright, no it’s not alright
Pre pre-chorus 2
Freedom comes at a bloody price
One we all must pay
The greedy line their pockets
While the dead and wounded fade away
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Pre-Pre-Chorus 1
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
We must be free

Story: (47 seconds)
Walk Away, I truly must give credit to Kyle Level on
this song because he came to me with this, uh, this
beautiful musical piece, and this great melody for this
song, Walk Away and when we were doing this song, it
was one of those ones that, I truly probably would not
have written a song like this, but Kyle pushed me, and
when we finished it I felt it was such a beautiful
song, and I went in and I produced it and I really got
into the lyrics of it and it was a song then that we
had made for the film, No Code of Conduct to end the
movie; to give this uplifting tremendous ending to the
movie and that's what Walk Away is about.
Song: (4:58)
It's been too long since I've seen her
She left one day without saying a word
Sick of broken promises
Empty dreams and endless lies
There was on old man sitting in a rockin' chair
Said "I knew just why she disappeared"
Said "boy to me, it's plain to see
Never gave that girl a reason to believe"
Well I wish she would call
Try to get ahold of me
But I know she got the message
That I left on my machine
That said I'd walk across the desert
I'd sail the seven seas
I'd fly around the world
Right here closer to me
I'd mend the bridges that I burned
Withstand the pouring rain
If you come back to me
I'd never let you walk away again
Some men learn and some men don't
Some try to and some they won't
My past is full of broken dreams
The road ahead is plain to see
Well I walked to places that we've been
I was hoping sthat maybe you'd stop in
Like some famous final scene
Fade to black, just be you and me
Well I wish she would call
Try to get ahold of me
But I know you got the message
That I left on my machine
That said I'd walk across the desert
I'd sail the seven seas
I'd fly around the world
Right here closer to me
I'd mend the bridges that I burned
Withstand the pouring rain
If you come back to me

Baby, will you be my girl
Kristi, will you be my girl
I'll take you to a better place,
there's no pain and no disgrace in a perfect world
We'll drive that ragtop Cadillac
We'll drive that ragtop Cadillac
Straight across the Nevada line
Radio playin' hair flying
No turning back
Chorus
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Baby, I live for times like these
Give me a reason to believe
For a moment times stands still
For a moment times stands still
I feel no shame, I feel no violence
For the moment and in the silence
I feel at peace.
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Baby, I live for times like these
Give me a reason to believe
Solo
Sun rises in the east
Sun rises in the east
For a moment in your eyes,
I catch a glimpse of a different life
Smile at fate
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Hey babe, I live for times like these
Baby, I live for times like these
Give me a reason to believe
There's no famous final scene, no movie stars
No limousines, everything we'll leave behind
There's no waiting on the other side
Just you and me for a better place
I swear I live for times like these
You're all I need
That's all I need

A little rough around the edges
Too proud to say I was wrong
Used to stay up with the Devil
In the bottle all night long
Got a bad reputation
Living on the wilder side
But you saw something different
When you looked in my eyes
chorus
You saw the other side of me
A story yet untold
You found the love in my heart
And breathed new life in my soul
And you just kept holding on
When you could have let go
I thank God you stayed long enough to see
The other side of me
You looked a little deeper
Saw the boy inside this man
When I thought I'd never love again
You showed me I can
You pulled me from the fire
And I can't repay the cost
You found the other person
I thought that I had lost
chorus
solo
And you just kept holding on
When you could have let go
I thank God you stayed long enough to see

If you still love me
Then tell me so
If you're not certain
Then please let me go
I'd give my life
My last breath
To call you mine
I deal with that old devil
If I thought maybe things would be fine
But I don't imagine I'll ever take that risk
'Cause if a woman doesn't find the man she wants
I feel sorry for the man she gets
At night on the phone
He tells me he cares
When I try calling back
He's never there
I'd give my life
My last breath
To know he's mine
I'd deal with that old devil
If I thought maybe things would be fine
I don't imagine I'll ever take that risk
If a man doesn't find the girl he wants
I feel sorry for the girl he gets
I don't imagine we'll ever take that risk
If you don't find the one you want
I feel sorry for the one you get
For the one you get
For the one you get
I'll be your life
Your last breath
For the one you get
I'll be your love
I'll feel your pain
For the one you get
I'll feel sorry, yeah I do
For the one you get
I'll be your life
Your last breath

There's a rose on the bed
A letter that I wrote what you mean to me
Words I wished I'd said,
Were still in my head, now I pray you'd see
I don't know how to tell you that I miss you, baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, I know you'll find
Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, I know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing I'd ever say
I'd ever say....
You walked beside me,
You stood by me and got me through my darkest times
And now I close my eyes
And visualize your face for the last time
I didn't know how to tell you that I loved you baby
I struggle with the words sometimes
But in my heart, I know you'll find
Chorus:
I know, you know
Our souls will be together till the end of time
You know, I know
Your love is gonna meet me on the other side
As sure as the angels come down and take my breath away
I love you'd be the last thing I'd ever say
I never fell in love,
No one ever touched me like this before
You opened my eyes
Made me realize something worth living for
Solo (guitar and piano)
What if fate took you from me
Before I got to let you know
You're the one thing in my life worth dying for
If the world fell apart,
I know in my heart
I know would never change
If the devil himself
Tried to raise hell's bells
I know it would be in vain
If the heavens come down
Let 'em fall to the ground
Let 'em take my breath away

He swears he'll love you by candlelight
And for a while things seem all right
And for a moment he hides
the devil that lies inside
And then one night in a fit of rage
The demon raises his hand in hate
And brings it down on you
There is nothing you can do
And then one night in a twist of fate
The angels bring your face to me
I cannot erase the memories
Of you lying there looking up at me
Chorus
Please take the demon from my head
Won't you please erase the memories
And ghosts who haunt my bed
I just want you to understand
That I'm gonna be the only man
To ever touch your soul
And I ain't never letting go
There's a room that lies down the hall
Where you sit and write you poems
of love and mystery
of faith and fantasy
And you keep a secret lover there
And a book beside an easy chair
That you read before you go to bed
To hide the memories inside your head
And now I try to understand the pain
You struggle for the words to say
It don't come out right
As you lay your body down
Chorus
There's a place where you go
I've been, I'll never know
The pain you keep inside
The secrets that you hide
But I try to understand your pain
And be a shelter from the falling rain
Just maybe I feel what you're going through
Maybe I have been there too
Please take the demons from my head
Won't you please take the demons from my head
(I shall try)

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
"C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me"
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more ore more!
Down the basement
and lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

At the drive-in

Made me so angry just the other day
But you look so sexy when you walk away
Now that you?re gone, I want ya back
Now that you?re split, I'm gonna crack
I hate you so much, I love you
I can't stop thinking of you
Why do I want you when you're gone
Why do I hate it when I'm wrong
Why do I love you in my bed
Why do I hate you in my head
We really went at it the other night
But you make me horny every time we fight
Now that you're gone, I want ya back
Now that you're split, I'm gonna crack
I hate you so much, I love you
I can't stop thinking of you
Why do I want you when you're gone
Why do I hate it when I'm wrong
Why do I love you in my bed
Why do I hate you in my head
Can't you see my frustration?
It's such a strange sensation
I don't want you to myself
But I don't want you with no one else
No one else
Why do I want you when you're gone
Why do I hate it when I'm wrong
Why do I love you in my bed
Why do I hate you in my head
Why do I want you when you're gone
Why do I hate it when I'm wrong
Why do I love you in my bed

She said
I don’t think I’m gonna let ya
Walk on me……….Anymore
I don’t think I’m gonna let ya
Let me… care
If you slam the door
You made me so confused
Even when I win I loose
But here comes that fellin’ a creepin’ in
Hello
Goodbye
She wants to stay
She wants to fly
This room…
This bed….
Too many thoughts run through her head
Of where she’s goin’ & where she’s bin
Fade to black ….Start again
She said
I don’t think I’m gonna let ya
Put me down ……..Anymore
I don’t think I’m even gonna let ya know
About that hole…… you left in my heart
It’s hard to say I’m sorry
When you’re the one who caused this heartache
But here comes that feelin’ once again
Hello
Goodbye
She wants to stay
She wants to fly
This room…
This bed….
Too many thoughts run through her head
Of where she’s goin’ & where she’s bin
Fade to black … Start again
All of her friends say
Why don’t you let him go
They all talkin’
But what do they know
Yah..what do they…. know
She says I’ve done my forgiven
I’m letting go of the scars I’ve hidden
But here comes that feelin’ creepin in
Hello
Goodbye
She wants to stay
She wants to fly
This room…
This bed….
Too many thoughts run through her head
Forgive
Forget
Didn’t seem to get her know where yet
Walk away or stay with him
Fade to black … Start again

Yo, Bret--
Yes?
Give it to her!
I like to make you scream
Be the one to wet your dream --???/
I talk dirty in your...
I tell you things that you would like to hear
You're such a sexy young thing
I'm never gonna scare you
Love you so much I hate you
Chorus
I let you in my head
I like you in my bed
I like it soaking wet--
I like the sound of sex
My baby's got a nasty side
One that she just can't hide
But now you want it all the time
If I do yours, you best do mine
You're such a sexy thing
I've got you on the brain
Your sounds drive me insane
I like it when you scream
I listen when you dream
I like it soaking wet--
I like the sound of sex
harmonica solo
I let you in my head
I love you in my bed
I taste you when you scream
I listen when you dream
I'll make you soaking wet--

Now look at you all standing proud
Dressed to kill, talking loud
Guitar in your hand
You see sex and violence, love and rage
Still survive in this day and age
And you?re sick about that, go ahead
Life?s gonna take it so break these chains
Come alive, the world's your stage
Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night
Now look at you out on the streets
Your mom and dad think you?re a freak
Don?t understand you
You wear your heart on your sleeve
Seems all the people that you meet
They criticize you too
But just stand tall and face the pain
You will not fall for the masquerade
Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood, all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night
The losing clowns, that try to drag you down
But stand there, yeah
Your life's getting stranger
You know you can?t change it
Destiny?s a callin? you, nothing you can do
Now look at you all actin? strange
I wonder what the winds of change have done to you
Is it what you did or what you seen
Or all the things you could not fix that affected you?
Just you sing in
Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood, all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night
Wrong or right
Love and pain and sacrifice
Flesh and blood, all the songs of life
You said I will not go quietly in the night

Will I see him on the TV preachin' 'bout the promised
land
He tells me to believe in Jesus
And steals the money from my hand
Some say he was a good man
But Lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember, in a war he can't forget
He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cause I never meant the things I did"
CHORUS
And give me something to believe in if there's a Lord
above
And give me something to believe in Oh, Lord arise
My best friend died a lonely man
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
I tried all night not to break down and cry
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
And the mirror mirror on the wall sees my smile it
fades again
CHORUS
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then road you gotta take me
home
I drive by the homeless sleeping on a cold dark street
Like bodies in an open grave
Underneath the broken old neon sign
That used to read JESUS SAVES
A mile away live the rich folks
And I see how they're living it up
While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
The rich is drinkin' from a golden cup
And it just makes me wonder why so many lose, so few
CHORUS
You take the high road and I'll take the low road
Sometimes I wish to God I didn't know now
The things I didn't know then

Funky is as funky does
Walked on over, there she was
Standing by the jukebox
With her EAR up against refused to HEAR
What I'm sayin', I'm only prayin'
I just want to make sweet love to you
Ooh ooh ooh
pre-chorus
Understand?
I wanna be your man
I got a plan
She said speak to the hand
chorus
She said I'm gonna rock your world, y'all
Oh oh oh
I-I'm gonna rock your world, y'all
Black or white, love or hate
You should get it off your chest
Before it's too late
Say IT, if you got something on your mind,
SAY IT
You must learn to release your
I got a car, it go fast
Keep fuzzy dice on the dash
Gotta bumper sticker, it says PEACE
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect you in case one of them bad guys come along
Ooh ooh ooh
Am I too rough, not rough enough
You like whips and chains, I'll buy that stuff
Oh oh oh
chorus
Love or hate, skin black or white
Gonna eat you up if you keep it inside
so SAY IT
Girl you got something on your mind, SAY IT
Baby am I not your type, SAY IT
Like wow, do you love me know, SAY IT
Like Tiger Sanchez, your Latin lover
Get up the nerve, gonna make a scene,
Walk it on over like a sex machine
Takin' it to the floor, doin' my funky dance,
Show her the tiger that's in my what WHAT
Everybody funny, now you actin' funny too
Was it something I said, something I've done,
Something that I do
Did did I rock your world, y'all
Did did I rock your world y'all
Black white gay straight get raped
Did it late religious gone love hate
Stayed out way too late
SAY IT, got something on your mind, SAY IT
What's wrong baby, I ain't your type, SAY IT

Jenny feels so bad
She's got a heart that's breaking
The flame burned bright
Now slowly dies
His last words Hold on
And if she's not mistaken
Jenny did just that
And now it's more than her heart that's breaking
Bleed like you Bleed like me
What makes you better than me?
Bleed like me bleed like you
She knows forever's not true
It's so clear - this guys not here
And time will change the way she's feeling
Right now, right here
Her innocence is falling down
Jenny drives all around
Jimmy's car it can't be found
Big lies in a small town
She hears them talk
Her friends say just leave him
Knows it's true but she don't believe them
Tangled web he weaved it
First scar she just received it
Bleed like you Bleed like me
What makes you better than me?
Bleed like me bleed like you
She knows forever's not true
It's so clear - She can hear him calling
Under her skin - feel it crawling
Right now right here
Her innocence is falling down
Bleed like you Bleed like me
What makes you better than me?
Bleed like me bleed like you
She knows forever's not true
It's so clear - this guys not here
And time will change the way she's feeling
Right now, right here
And her innocence is falling..
Bleed like you Bleed like me
What makes you better than me?
Bleed like me bleed like you
She knows forever's not true
It's so clear - She can hear him calling
Under her skin - feel it crawling
Right now right here

Snowy night I'm heading home
An airport bar, there you sat all alone
I said, "hello, How've you been?"
"God girl, it's sure good to see you again"
Remember of Panama City
You were fall down drunk
but you still looked pretty
We made love all night
On the beach that September
Told my friends it was great
but you still can't remember
Well...
That was then
This is now
Lookin back i wouldn't change it anyhow
This is now
That was then
Life rolls on
We're still riding against the wind
As for me
My life's been up and down
Playing night to night
Moving town to town
You said you had a daughter, I've got two of my own
They're the love of my life
They sure helped me grow up
I've seen a few things, Played for the troops of Iraq
I've made a few friends who didn't make it back
Yea I danced with the devil and
cried with the saints
I broke all the rules
so it's wasn't all in vain
That was then
This is now
Lookin back i wouldn't change it anyhow
This is now
That was then
Life rolls on
We're still riding against the wind
Somedays I'm smiling
Somedays I'm sad
Somedays I still wake up fighting mad
Yea there's a part of me that wants to go back
Then I remember I'm good right where I'm at
It's getting late baby so let's raise a glass
One to the future
and one to the past
Those photographs
Pictures of
The friends we lost
and here's to the ones we love
That was then
This is now
Lookin back I wouldn't change it anyhow
This is now
That was then
Life rolls on
We're still riding against the wind
It's all right
It's okay
Yesterday's gone
I'm living for today
It's ok
It's all right
Somehow we all made it through the night
Life rolls on baby!
and it's rolling,
We're still riding against the wind
It's all right
It's ok

When I hold you in my arms, I can feel you breathe
When I look into your eyes, makes me believe
In a God, in a place, that brings me hope, gives me faith
Before our time is done, I want to be the one to
Give you love, give you strength
Get you through your darkest days
When you cry I'll dry the tears for you
Through the years, through the pain
Times of heartache, times of change
I'll be your sun you be my Raine
If I ever let you down, I didn't mean to do that
If you need me and I'm not around, I am sorry for that
Sometimes life is strange, some days it pulls me away from you
But on my soul I swear, for you I will be there to
Give you love, give you strength
Get you through your darkest days
When you cry I'll dry the tears for you
Through the years through the pain
Times of heartache times of change
I'll be your sun you be my Raine
You are my flesh, you are my blood
And I will always stand by you, I will
And should the sun go down, give me your hand
I'll pull you through, I will, you know I'll be the one to
Give you love, give you strength
Get you through your darkest days
When you breathe I'll be the air for you
Through the years through the pain
Times of heartache times of change
I'll be your sun you be my
(Raine)
Give you love, give you strength
Get you through your darkest days
When you cry I'll dry the tears for you
Through the years through the pain
Times of heartache times of change

Daddy worked like a dog all day
Between the steel mill and the field
Mamma was pretty as a picture
Raised the children and cooked the meals
Daddy come home we'd gather around
And tell stories about his day
Then he would pick up that old guitar
And man he let it play
He said walk a straight line
Stand with pride
Don't let troubles get you down
Don't run and hide
You got to shine inside when them dark clouds come
around
If you ever get your chance to sing and dance
Like them stars on the silver screen
I wish you would take this old guitar of mine and play
one for me
Well the years went by
And daddy never quite adjusted
To the modern day
Mamma stood with pride
And the tears filled her eyes
The day the bank took the farm away
But he never let us go hungry
Kept the shoes upon our feet
He stood there tall as a mountain
And he said these words to me
He said don't lose sight
When the money gets tight
You can let it come and go
Cause what you give to reap my child
Is what you leave to sow
And when old life don't deal you right
Turn to God and family
And one day boy take this old guitar of mine
And you better play one for me
I got a call backstage in Dallas Texas
Just the other day
I could tell by the sound of the trembling voice
That daddy must have passed away
As I pulled his picture from my wallet
The tears they filled my eyes
I remember the words he said to me
Before our last good bye
Before our last good bye
When the devil comes a smiling son
You gotta learn to resist
Cause a man's word is only worth
The work he backs it with
Though he never got his chance to sing and dance
Like them stars on the silver screen
He said one day boy if you ever get the chance play one
for me
Play one for me

The album sucks the critics say
I can't sing and I can't play
All I care about is sex and money
I look out-dated, I think that's funny
But I'm too shallow to really give a damn
'Cause I sing for a party rock band
In '86, fans ripped out my hair
Now it's '96, there ain't none there
The girls used to talk dirty to me
But now it just really hurts when I pee
But I'm too stoned to really give a damn
'Cause I sing for my party rock band
Bi-sexual girls, come get to know me
You can be my two and only
I'll be your brain-damaged party rock man
My agent says I need publicity
Told me act depressed, they take me seriously
So wrecked my car into a telephone pole
Tried to date the singer from Hole
But Courtney didn't love me
Don't they understand?
Cuz I'm a shallow minded, sex cravin'
Don't care about nothing unless I'm getting laid

Jesse was raised in the Hollywood Hills
Living the perfect life
Jesse was told what to think- what to wear
What she could and could not buy
Her parents to busy to listen
Never give her the time of day
All Jesse wanted was someone to listen
To what she had to say
She said 'They gotta let me be
Gotta let me live my life'
She packed her bags and slammed the door
For the very last time
What Jesse wants is an open road
Her favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Tell the whole world who she's gonna be
Foot on the pedal just a letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
An Open road to chase her dreams
What Jesse really wants
Is to be young wild and free
Now Jimmy lives on the other side of town
Struggling to stay on his feet
Pulling away at some deadend job
Just trying to make ends meet
His Mother passed 10 years ago
His Father ain't never around
And just because he's a poor boy
Everybody thinks they can keep him down
Bossman there to remind him
A whole new 9 to 5
Jimmy looked down at his calloused hands
Then he realised
What Jimmy wants is an open road
His favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Against the wind screaming this is me
Foot on the pedal just a letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
An Open road to chase his dreams
What Jimmy really wants
Is to be young wild and free
oh yeah yeah
Two lost souls are travelling
Down that road of life
A little bit of faith
About to cross their paths tonight
A lonely exit east L.A.
Just to stop to watch the sun go down
There was jimmy on the hood of his car
Thinking about turning around
And somewhere in that moment
Before the sun surrended to the night
Like some famous final scene
Jesse caught Jimmys eye
Out there on that open road
They found a life to call their own
Living young and wild and free
Just the way it was meant to be
Jesse and Jimmy on an open road
Favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Young and wild and finally free
Foot on the pedal - letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
On that Open road they found their dream
Cos What Jesse really wants
What Jimmy really wants
What we all really want
Is to be young wild and free
oh yeah yeah

I stare at the TV
And I can't believe my eyes
There's no place to run
And no place to go
There's no place left to hide
I can see their faces
I can feel their pain
Our lives will never be the same
Forgive me if I laugh
It's just to hide the tears
Sometimes I wonder if I've wasted all those years
For all the things I felt
But forgot to say
Would you give me one more day
I sit here and wonder
Now what if that were me
If I'd lost my life
Left behind my wife
And the child that I'd never see
If I could look down on her
How would she explain
That daddy had to go away
Forgive me if I smile
It's just to hide my fears
And in a time of dying
Our life becomes so clear
They say the good Lord works in such mysterious ways
I just hope he gives me one more day
One more day
To look into her eyes, yeah, yeah
One more moment to say goodbye, goodbye
One more night to feel her touch
Just one more chance
So that I can tell her
How much I miss her
And tell her I love her
Someone to love
And someone to hold me
Before I fall from grace
Someone to need me
Someone to believe me
Before I lose my faith
For all the things I meant
But forgot to say
I hope you give me one more day
Forgive me if I laugh
It's just to hide the tears
Sometimes I wonder if I've wasted all those years
For all the things I felt
But forgot to say

She looks in the mirror with the makeup that don't hide
the pain (oh, oh, oh)
Yeah she swore that the last time was the last time
that she'd fall again (fall again)
So close yours eyes, just fall tonight
She says let this be alright, alright, alright, alright
Won't you fall down on me
So close I can feel you breathe
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me (could you
fall for me)
I've been torn up, put down, wearing my heart on my
sleeve (oh, oh ,oh)
Yeah, those scars that you wear, well I've got them
too, can't you see (can't you see)
Yeah we both know better than this, still we can't
resist (still we can't resist)
Slowly get undressed
Yeah, she does when she falls down on me
So close I can feel you breathe
Tonight in the darkness theres nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me (could you
call for me)
Won't you fall down on me (on me)
So close I can feel you breathe (feel you breathe)
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose,
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me
She falls down on me
So close I can feel you breathe (feel you breathe)
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see (oh yeah)
If I fall for you, could you fall for me

I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night Id like to make my girl
But right now I cant make ends meet

Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what Id say
Chorus:
Dont need nothin but a good time

Aint lookin for nothin but a good time
And it dont get better than this

Heres to ya
Solo
Dont need nothin but a good time
How can I resist
Aint lookin for nothin but a good time

all right
With the eyes of a little boy
saw you fly through the air
free as a bird like he didn't care
saw number 3 on a big old track
going round and round til he didn't come back
but the song carries on carries on on on
the heroes the faces and names may change
but the song still remains the same
I tip my hat to the duke and roy
and a new breed of american cowboy
from shane riding that wave way up and high
to lane taken his last eight second ride
space cowboys flying rockets to a new frontier
meanwhile a kid in pittsburg just grinding them gears
the song carries on on on
the heroes the faces and names may change
but the song still remains the same
I tip my hat to the duke and roy
and a new breed of american cowboy
yeah they pay their dues in blood sweat and tears
there no backing down and no time to fear
taking a ride just as long as its fast
big wave and rodeo and old dirt track
the song carries on on on
the heroes the faces and names may change
but the song still remains the same
I tip my hat to the duke and roy
and a new breed of american cowboy
for every legend lost is a new one born
a new page is written for every one torn
we got more horses and a faster toys
we're a new breed of american cowboy
New breed of american cowboy
wooo

Monday, boss say
I don't get a holiday
Just smile, get paid
I'm about to crack
At work, my boss is such a jerk
He tries to keep me down
I feel like I'm about to lose it
Some days I just wanna be
A menace to society
Conformity they try to sell
Makes me feel like raisin' hell
TV sells me
The perfect life I'm supposed to lead
Wake up, get dressed
Don't step out of line
Yes, they shove it down our throats
It makes me wanna choke
I think that I'm about to lose it
Some days I just wanna be
A menace to society
Conformity they try to sell
Makes me feel like raisin' hell
Don't get out of line
Just punch in on time
Can't you see I'm going crazy?
(Going crazy)
No, you'll never keep me down
You can't push me around
You can try but you will
Never break me
Some days I just wanna be
A menace to society
Conformity they try to sell
Makes me feel like raisin' hell
Some days I just wanna be
A menace to society
Conformity they try to sell
Makes me feel like raisin' hell
One more time
Raisin' hell
Raisin' hell

I never laid down for anybody
I'm not about to start with you
You know my love is rotten to the core baby
There ain't a damn thing you can do
You know I have a reputation
I've got the biggest gun in town
You like the danger, pull my trigger
Watch me take you down
My love is a loaded gun
Set my sights on you
My love is a loaded gun
Put my bullet in you
You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth
I was born on the wrong side of the tracks
But once you crossed you ass into my town
I knew you were never going back
You used to use your imagination
Baby I've been to the show
I'm in your bed, get in your head
I'll make your mind explode
My love is a loaded gun
Set my sights on you
My love is a loaded gun
I'm gonna sink my bullet in you
My love is rotten to the bone baby
But you keep coming back for more
You grab my gun, you know your done
Your body hits the floor
My love is a loaded gun
Set my sights on you
My love is a loaded gun
Put my bullet in you
My love is a loaded gun
Pull my trigger your through
My love is a loaded gun

Little Willy knows a secret
Little Willy likes to lie
He is getting so excited
Willy's a very emotional guy
Little Willy gets nervous, but he ain't super shy
Unless some stuck-up skirt makes fun of his size
Chorus:
Little Willy likes to bang his drum
(Little Willy likes to play in the band)
Little Willy he ain's so dumb
(Little Willy shrinks up when the girls get chilly
Takes a whole lot of lovin' just to warm up Willy)
Little Willy doesn't get nervous but he ain't shy
Unless lovely ladies make fun of his size
Little Willy likes to bang his drum
Little Willy's in the band
Little Willy, he ain't so dumb
Willy shrinks up when the girls get chilly
Takes a whole lot of lovin' just to warm up Willy
Willy, don't cry
Willy, go zip up your fly
Little Willy likes to bang his drum
(Little Willy likes to play in the band)
Little Willy he ain't so dumb
(Little Willy shrinks up when the girls get chilly

Well I was a young son of a gun, I was barely 17
Well she was 25 and to my surprise did she ever make a
man out of me
Because the next thing I knew we was back in the woods
And we were under the old moonlight
And she was showing me what God was given her
Under that dress so tight
Well my heart started pounding
And my knees got weak
I couldn't say a word
I could barely speak
I started to stutter
Say Love ya, I-I love ya do
Dance with me slowly
Show me a step or two
Mama always warned me about girls like you
But I like ya, I do I do
Well the years gone by and I'm 29
And I'm the leader of a rockin' band
We are having a ball at the VFW hall
We're doing a one night stand
When out on the floor just a strutted a girl
Started shaking right in front of the stage
Drummer couldn't keep time
About lost my mind as she planted one right on my face
My heart started pumping
Head started to spin
I'll rock your world
She said with a grin
Lord have mercy
What's this poor boy to do
Dance with me slowly
Show me a step or two
Mama always warned me about girls like you
But I like ya, I do I do
(Uh-oh I feel a cold shower comin on)
I must be dreaming
Please let it be true
Right outta me, right outta you??
She kissed me once
I kissed my heart goodbye
Dance with me slowly
Teach me a step or two
You show me a little then I'll show you
Show me baby
Dance with me slowly
You show me a step or two
My Mama always warned me about girls like you

3am, my phone starts a ringing
Make no mistake it's just a sexual thing
You keep telling me
I'm the only one
but you'll go back to him, when the night is done
Your such a hot mess baby
But you know it drives me crazy
So lie to me, I'll lie to you
Say anything, believe it's true
I lie to you, You lie to me
Skin to skin, your my ecstacy.
You get me up, when you go down
flesh on flesh, round and round
I'll take you down, you get me up
It's just sex so let's just....
You've got that smile on your face
That look in your eyes
Girl you ain't leaving, until your satisfied.
You rock my world, You wreck my bed
and when We're done, we'll start again.
I'll give it to you all night
Even try to get your name right
So lie to me, I'll lie to you
Say anything, Believe it's true
I lie to you, you lie to me
Skin to Skin, your my ecstacy.
You get me up, when you do gown

You look at me and whisper
Just like this
My tequila's got you all undressed
So lie to me, I'll lie to you
Say anything, Believe it's true
I lie to you, you lie to me
Skin to skin, your ecstacy.
You get me up, when you go down.
flesh on flesh, round and round
I'll take you down, you get me up

Ain?t nobody gonna tell me how to live
Let 'em all bitch, I don?t give a shit
I?ll throw the biggest parties in this town
I watch all the girls shake their booties around
Smoke the ganja, let the party rage
Good girls turn bad, when they come to play
I use them and they use me
In the morning they know they're history
Well, it?s my party
I could cry if I want to
It?s my party
Do what I want
It?s my party
I get high if I want to
It?s my party
I do what I want
My car?s real cherry, yeah, it?s real bad ass
I?ll snap your head off when I step on the gas
It plays music so loud you can feel it coming
Makes all the virgins horny
Sends all the preacher running
Some fool?s always racing me
He gets too close my dust is all he?ll see
When you see red lights, I see green
It?s hard to be good in such a bad machine
Well, it?s my party
I could cry if I want to
It?s my party
Do what I want
It?s my party
I get high if I want to
It?s my party
I do what I want
I grow my hair right down to my feet
Nobody fucks with me on this here street
There ain?t no one tell me how to live
You learn to respect when you come in my crib
Well, it?s my party
It?s my party
Well, it?s my party
I could cry if I want to
It?s my party
Do what I want
It?s my party
I get high if I want to
It?s my party
I do what I want
Well, it?s my party
I could cry if I want to
It?s my party
Do what I want
It?s my party
I can die if I want to
It?s my party
I do what I want
It?s my party
I could cry if I want to
It?s my party
Do what I want
It?s my party
I get high if I want to
It?s my party

Paints her flesh
Sheds her skin
Locks the door, draws the blinds
Slowly lets me in
She feels powerless against the day I guess
Cause the love that she
felt was so real was taken away yes
When the sun goes down
And there ain't no one else around
She tells me secrets
Tells me truth
Tells me lies
I know she loves me when
She looks into my eyes
She dresses herself up
Pretends to feel brand new
Remember it's just me you're talking to
Faded smile
Conceals the pain
Then excuses herself as the tears fall again
In the darkness of her room
She dances slowly with me
By the light of the moon
And when the light comes in
She puts her smile back on again
She tells me secrets
Tells me truth
Tells me lies
I know she loves me when she looks into my eyes
I feel her every breath
I know her every move
Remember, Cause it's me she's talking to
It's just me
She tells me secrets
Tells me truth
Tells me lies
I know she loves me when she looks into my eyes
I feel her every breath
I know her every move
It's just me she's talking to
It's just me yeah
You and me

I was 5 years old
When they sent Bobby to Vietnam
He got hurt fighting a war there
That he still don't understand
I was 6 years old
Got a disease that got no cure
Doctor said 'Son, Life's about to change
It won't be like it was before.'
and Momma held me close
I could feel her hand shake
Daddy said 'We'll fight this Son
No matter what it takes.'
Through the Ups and Downs
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good
When I was just 16
Little Jody broke my heart
She left a big old scar there
That I still talk about
Now you see love to me
Has always been a rose and a thorn
Momma said 'Yes, that love died
But a big hit song was born'
It seemed ramble then
But maybe she was right
Through the darkness
Comes a brighter light
There'll be Ups and Downs
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good
Sometimes when I get tired of the dance
Think back to my friend that never had the chance
(guitar)
You see I have a daughter now
And I tell her stories of where I've been
She just laughs to herself
and says 'There daddy goes again'
Talking about Ups and Downs
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should
But It's All Good
And bad
And lots of in betweens
And when your right goes wrong
You'll find something to believe in
Life goes on - World keeps turning
A lesson you keep learning
Sometimes things don't turn out like they should

Oh yeah, rock you baby
My pretty girl, you move so sexy in your skin
Spread your wings for me, let my love come in
My sexy girl, all the world's your stage
You love to feel my passion
You love to feed my rage
Give me your faith, you take my hand
You be my girl, I'll be your man
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, I'd die for you
Believe me, baby
Pretty girl, lives inside my head
Like an angel hanging above my head
I think about you when I'm pacing in my cage
How I loved your eyes, how you loved my evil ways
I am love, you are hate
You my laughter, I am rage
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, I'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it, baby
bridge
Police coming
Judgment coming
Hangman coming
My time is coming
Pretty girl, I'd protect you from the pain
I will be your sinner, I will be your saint
My sexy girl is so hard to please
She's all I ever wanted, all I ever need
You be my girl, I'll be your man
Believe in me, give me your hand
I pull my gun, my aim is true
You'd die for me, 'cause I'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it baby
You are love, I am hate
You're a sinner and I'm a saint
We are laughter, we are rage
Crime of passion, gonna seal my fate
You're the fire, I'm gasoline
I'm coming on like a war machine
My love is strong, my soul is true

I remember when I was just a kid
Doctors told me I got a disease that’s gonna keep me
sick
Sometimes I’d get so damn depressed
I didn’t feel like getting myself dressed
But when I turned the radio on
And I heard my favorite song
I’d say
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
Songs that take me, won’t you take me, far away
I remember I got my first guitar
Told everyone I was going to be a rock n roll star
The first time I got my heart broke
I remember the feeling I got in my throat
I felt like dyin’ that night
Seemed like the radio saved my life
I’d say
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
Songs that take me, won’t you take me far away
We were drivin’ by the light of the moon
Makin’ love to our favorite tunes
The best days I ever had were nights I spent with you
We didn’t have a penny and not a care in the world
I’ll be your man, you be my girl
Such simpler times in a complex world
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music
Songs that take me, won’t you take me far away
Play me good time music
Help to get me through my day
Play me good time music

As I was walking out, she was walking in
She stood 6 foot 1 and built for sin
Well, I cut to the chase and asked her to dance
She looked down on me and laughed and said "no chance!"
Another hottie walked by, my heart started to bump
I said "hot dang mama - you're the one"
Well, the band was playin' a little Texas soul
We started scootin' our boots on the sawdust floor
I asked, "baby, how'd you like to see my place?"
She stopped dancin' and slapped my face
Then a cutie shot me a look
Like a bullet from a gun
I said "hot dang mama - you're the one"
I wear rhinestone boots and my legs are thin
I got a turtle neck sweater - hide my double chin
A 10 gallon hat and a horse shoe ring
And I strut around like a king
Well it's getting late, I need to find someone
There goes a hottie I ain't hit on
Slick back my hair and ask for a sign
and then a guy says "stop - she's mine"
Hot dang baby, you're the one
(Hot dang baby, you're the one)
Yes sir baby you're the one
(Hot dang baby, you're the one)
I'm a cold edge like a bullet from a gun

The rev of the engine was all I heard
And these were her final words
As she jumped into my car and pulled away
She said my lawyer will be in touch with you
And as for marriage well we are through
And I will be back for the house and half of your cash
I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife
Married me because I was funny
She used to love all my buddies
Now she hates each and every one
She used to hate to be alone
Now she can’t stand it when I come home
I looked and said honey what have I done
I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife
Love to me has always been a mystery
I’ve never understood the philosophy of the game
First comes love then come marriage
A house a mortgage and a load I can't carry
And they leave you draggin that ball and chain
I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher
I take her to be my future ex wife
I prayed please dear Jesus
What did I do to deserve this life?
Yes I do Mr. Preacher

He works two jobs now just to pay the bills
Honeymoon is over seems love has lost its thrill
He blames her and God knows that she blames him
Loves not about killing time this ain’t no way to live
Just can’t up and walk away
Knows that wouldn’t be right
Instead he hangs out at the local bar
Drowns his problems every night
He says forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
I think I’m losing you
forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
Cuz I don’t know what to do
He comes home late falls into bed and closes his eyes
He pretends to sleep while she lies there and cries
Sometimes she gets so angry she just wants to scream
A prince no longer charming it wasn’t like this in her
dreams
Someday she wants a change of life
Get in that car and leave but deep down she loves him
and the kids
She’s got them mouths to feed
She cries forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
I think I’m losing you
Forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
Cuz I don’t know what to do
It all seemed so simple then
Where the hell did it go wrong
Where’s it start and where’s it end
Lets both keep holding on
One day it hit him hard
Layed his head in her hands
Looked up said, I don’t want to lose you I hope you
understand
So he looked into her eyes said this is what we’ll do
If you give a little bit baby then I’ll give a little
bit too
And they said forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
I still believe in you
Forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
Let love pull us through
Forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
We’ll take it day by day
Forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me

Wasted Days and Wasted nights,
I feel lonely.
I walk these streets and wonder why
I ever listened to them say
"You are not the one for me"
But they were wrong
They don't see the things I see
When everyone turns to go
I won't leave you
When everything new gets old
I won't listen
When everyone says
I'll be better alone
I say this heart has a mind of it's own
mmmm mmmm mmm mmmm
When I see you across the room
Time stands still
Everytime I undress you
My heart starts to fall
In my arms, lay with me, a little while
Let the world just fade away - You and Me.
When everyone turns to go
I won't leave you
When everything new gets old
I won't listen
When everyone says
I'll be better alone
I say this heart has a mind of it's own
Let the world come crashing down - You can smile,
cos you know that I won't let you down
Let me be the only sound, You can hear
Fall in my arms and lay with me - a little while
Let the world just fade away - You and Me
When everyone turns to go
I won't leave you
When everything new gets old
I won't listen
When everyone says
I'll be better alone
I say this heart has a mind of it's own
When everyone turns to go
I won't leave you
When everything new gets old
I won't listen
When everyone says
I'll be better alone
I say this heart has a mind of it's own
mmmm mmmm mmm mmmm

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did?
Did my words not come out right?
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried but I guess that's why, they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its, yeah, it does
I listen to my favorite song
Playin' on the radio
Hear the D.J. say
"Love's a game of easy come and easy go"
But I wonder, does he know
Has he ever felt like this?
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could've let you know somehow
I guess, every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorns
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you, the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love we both
Made our separate ways
But now, I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess, every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song

I like the way you move
Oh, it's just so sexy baby
I like the way you grind my gears
Just kinda wrecks me baby
Tell you the truth I like the way you move
I like the, I love the, I like the way you feel
When you're riding beside me, baby
I like the way you grab my wheel
And just kinda guide me baby
I tell you the truth I really like your moves
When she turns my radio on
I know it won't be long
Then she straddles the drivers seat
And she and she and she, she'll roll right outta me
She says roll me up and down this highway, baby
She was born to ride high like a rolling stone, oh yeah
She wants it a little faster, so baby if you ask her
She said take me on that highway outta here
Play guitar now
Oh, I like the way you move
Oh, I like the thing you do
She'd say roll me up and down this highway, baby
She was born to ride high like a rolling stone, oh yeah
'Cause when she's in my car, she's my superstar
My girl looks so fine, I tell her true

My girlfriend told me
That she don't love me anymore
She packed her bags and her cell phone
And moved right next door
She called and told me
She was moving in with my best friend
This is where the party ends
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Want my ring back
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
My heart is black
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Screw my friend Jack
I can see her through the window
With my ex-friend Jack
She broke my heart
So my guitar and me wrote this crap
I don't care if their love affair ever lasts
'Cause I'm about to kick his ass
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Want my ring back
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
My heart is black
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Screw my friend Jack
One day Jack came over to apologize
He told me my ex which is his new girlfriend
Was out every night
Jack said, "I think she's been cheating
With my new friend Jim"
Say you love her too bad
'Cause now she loves him
Pulled a Jerry Springer on me
Now you're outta luck
My new girlfriend thinks you all suck
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
I used to love her bad
But she didn't love me
Used to kiss her lips
Now I watch them bleed
Gave her a diamond ring
Now I want it back
Besides she sucked in the sack
Sucked in the sack
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
Want my ring back
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)
My heart is black
(Bittersweet, bittersweet)

There you lay, and here I stand.
He knelt down on his knees and took her by the hand.
We've seen some good times, been through some bad.
But somewhere between the laughter and the tears
We sure had a lot of great years.
He said
We didn't need fortune we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to
When times got tough you pulled me through
We didn't need a castle made of stone
Just you there as I grow old
Your heart to hold on to
All I ever needed was you.
Remember our first dance and our first kiss
I pictured my life with you to be just like this.
You stood by me
I stand by you
We share the laughter, joy, and pain
But its a moment like this I hope it never ends
We didn't need fortune we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to
When times got tough you pulled me through
We didn't need a castle made of stone
Just you there as I grow old)
Your heart to hold on to
All I ever needed was you.
Share my life with you girl yeah, oh yeah
I thank you for sharing your life with me
For giving me a reason to believe
For loving me for who I am...
We didn't need fortune we didn't need fame
Just a little shelter from the rain
Your hand to hold on to
When times got tough you pulled me through.
We didn't need a castle made of stone
Just you there as I grow old
Your heart to hold on to
All I ever needed
All I ever needed was you.

Sitting here in my cell writing a letter
Thanking all the people who made my living conditions
better
And thanks to the justice system
I'm making a million
My lawyer got me a book deal
Now I'm making a killing just from making a killing
I got an agent for the publicity
An accountant to count my royalties
The talk shows want me, sorry I can't go
I'm stuck here on death row
You call me Hannibal Lechter, if I was smarter
If I was Charlie Manson you'd make me a martyr wouldn't
You'd call me a handsome man if I was Bundy
But if I looked like John Wayne Gasey you'd just say
I'm funny, not ha ha funny
Chorus:
Tried to act my career just flopped
Killed my neighbor, got on Cops
Problem is, I only made one show now
I'm stuck here on death row
The poor victim's families never make a dime
Networks say I'm not prime time
All my cell mates on my cell block
Say I'm the hottest topic at the coffee shops
Waitress cries, "God how they should free me"
Send me her love letters, says someday she'd really
love to meet me
Tells her customers people should forgive me for the
things I do
I wonder if I kill her would her family forgive me too?
Chorus
Thanks for the attention and the publicity
The taxpayer's dollars that you spend on me
Thanks for the good meal, dry bed, and these warm
clothes
