Shadows to the right, and to the left
I see myself and i'm not myself
Nowhere to stop, nowhere to go
And I just don't know of anything else.
It's 4 o'clock in the morning but i'm wide awake
And thoughts of you prey on my mind,
I know i'm outsmarted this time.
I got in, but I can't get out that way.
Baby you got me all caught up,
You don't know what a maze you made.
I got in a little deeper everyday,
You know I don't wanna be found
Runnin' around in a maze you made.
Faithful to a fault, until the end,
You know i'll be there, follow anywhere.
No exit sign, just another turn,
And I might get burned but I just don't care.
I'm tired of overthinkin' til I can't see straight,
And visions of you weigh on my mind,
There's no escaping this time.
I got in, but I can't get out that way.
Baby you got me all caught up,
You dont know what a maze you made.
I got in a little deeper everyday,
You know I don't wanna be found
Runnin' around in a maze you made.
So up and back and 'round the same corner I turn,
And I get so high but then I feel the slide down to earth.
Guess you're a lesson that I need to make work,
But I can't learn, no I can't learn.
No I can't get out that way,
Baby you got me all caught up,
You don't know what a maze you made.
I got in, but I can't get out that way.
You know I don't wanna be found
Runnin' around in a maze you made.
Woah,
Runnin' around
You know I don't wanna be found,
In a maze you made,
Woah, yeah,
You know I don't wanna be found

You don't know me, but I'm your brother,
I was raised here in this living hell.
You don't know my kind in your world,
Pretty soon the time will tell.
You telling me the things you're gonna do for me,
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets,
Takin' it to the streets,
Takin' it to the streets,
Takin' it to the...
Get this message to my brother,
You will find him everywhere.
Wherever people live together,
Tied in poverty, despair...
Oh you,
Telling me the things you're gonna do for me,
Oh now,
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.
Takin' it to the streets,
Takin' it to the streets,
Takin it to the streets,

I live on a battle field
Surrounded by the ruins of the love we built
And then destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I’m a dazed seeing double
And I’m a truly mystified
My new home
Has a shallow feel
With tears and muddy waters
And bits of broken heart
All around
There is desolation
Scenes of a devastation
Of love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
The one wear not one single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less a horrifying
Sweet memories memories
Of a bygone situation
And now shattered lord and battered
Lives scattered around
My new home
Has a shallow feel
With tears and muddy waters
And bits of broken heart
All around
There is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
My new home
Is a shallow feel
With tears and muddy waters
And bits of broken heart
All around
There is desolation
Scenes of devastation
Of love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield

I've been waiting
I've been aching
Now you're fading out of reach
I was angry
Now I'm sorry
Have mercy over me
Because a life without love would only be a living hell
I don't wanna be alone and I don't want no one else
So I dream myself awake
And I tear myself to pieces
I've had more than I can take
But I just don't see me leaving
Do me wrong
Do me right
Do me anyway you want tonight
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
I remember back when we were babies
Young crazies
And you made my soul complete
Yeah you saved me
Now you hate me
And our love won't doubt on me
Because life without love is gonna be a living hell
I don't wanna be alone and I don't want no one else
So I dream myself awake
And I tear myself to pieces
I've had more than I can take
But I just don't see me leaving
Do me wrong
Do me right
Do me anyway you want tonight
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you
I can't get enough of you
I can't get you out of my mind
So I dream myself awake
And I tear myself to pieces
I've had more than I can take
But I just don't see me leaving
Do me wrong
Do me right
Do me anyway you want tonight
Any way you want tonight
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby
I can't get enough of you baby

[Taylor:] (Fella's I wonder would you mind if I talked to ya for a minute.
You know, sometimes we have a tendencies, or should I say we forget, what a woman needs every now and then.
That is if you wanna keep your thing together. Listen to me now)
Do the things that keeps the smile on her face
Say the things that make her feel better everyday.
Then you got to stay on your p's and q's. If you don't, the woman you can easy lose.
Whoa oa oa I, Oh I had a love, a love and I lost her, and no one can help me share the pain that she caused me.
Ohhh, a woman's gotta have it, I believe, she's gotta know that she's needed around.
When you kiss her, you gotta make her feel it, everytime boy, she wants to know that she's not walkin' on shakey ground. Ohhhh, yeah.
[Elliott:] Well, think it over.
[Taylor:] Think it over
[Elliott:] Think it over my brother. Don't take for granted the smile
[Taylor and Elliott] on her face.
[Elliott:] Check a little bit closer, you might find
[Taylor and Elliott] a tear trace.
[Elliott:] Maybe the girl might never say a
[Taylor and Elliott] mumbling word,
[Elliott:] but you gotta make sure that her voice is heard.
[Taylor:] Whoa Ohhh Ohhh I had a love,
[Elliott:] Had a love
[Taylor :] a true love and I lost it,
[Elliott:] Yes I did
[Taylor:] I'm suffering all this pain that that love caused me. A woman gotta have it,
[Elliott:] Woman gotta have it
[Taylor:] I believe
[Elliott and Taylor:] she's got to know that she's needed around
[Taylor:] you gotta make her feel it,
[Elliott:] You gotta make her feel it
[Taylor:] Anytime boy

I've never been
The one to raise my hand
That was not me
And now that's who I am
Because of you
I am standing tall
My heart is full
Of endless gratitude
You were the one
The one to guide me through
Now I can see
And I believe
It's only just beginning
This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud
I guess I’ve learned
To question is to grow,
That you still have faith,
Is all I need to know,
I’ve learned to love,
Myself in spite of me,
And I’ve learned to
Walk on the road I believe.
Everybody needs to rise up
Everybody needs to be loved
To be loved
Everybody need to rise on
Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved
This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you, do I make you proud
This is what we dream about
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud

She was my only one
Loved me till kingdom come
She took me to that place I've never been before
Her body in the night
Revealed by candle light
Her spanish eyes were shining like diamonds on the shore.
I need her
Oh my senorita
Love was much so much sweeter
With you in my life
Now I know what my heart lacks
Every time I think back
To once upon a lover of mine.
I should have read her
Before that letter
I should have never let her get inside my heart
She led a gypsy life
Disappeared into the night
I miss those spanish eyes lighting up the dark
I need her oh my senorita
Love was so much sweeter
Wtih you in my life
Now I know what my heart lacks
Every time I think back
To once upon a lover of mine
The moonlight shadows fell
When underneath her spell
Back then when all was well
Can't get her off my mind
Comes back a thousand times
Found out that love was blind
Once upon a lover of mine
I need her
Oh my senorita
Love was so much sweeter
With you in my life
God knows that I miss her
Her name I still whisper
How I love to kiss her just one more time
Now I know what my heart lacks
Every time I think back
To once upon a lover of mine.

New found freedom I'm leaving the past behind
New found freedom Making up for lost time
Dug a little deeper Moved it on down the line
Must have been sleeping it's about time I opened my eyes.
When I walk I walk with confidence
I hold my head up high When I talk
I've got a positive sense Of who I am inside
New found freedom Gonna spread my wings and fly.
It's no secret where I've been before
Turned that corner Standing at the front door
Starting down a new road Leaving the other side
Gonna release it Breaking away the ties that bind.
When I walk I walk with confidence
I hold my head up high When I talk
I've got a positive sense Of who I am inside
New found freedom Let the Light be my life.
New found freedom Gonna spread my wings and fly
And the earth shook That's all it took
To make a change in me It's a new way
A new day Things ain't what they used to be.
New found Freedom Let the Light live in my life
New found freedom Gonna spread my wings and fly
New found Freedom Let the Light be my life
New found freedom Gonna spread my wings and fly
New found Freedom Let the Light be my life
New found freedom Gonna spread my wings and fly
New found freedom Starting down a new road
Let the Light be my life Standing at the front door
New found freedom Gonna spread my wings and fly
Spread my wings and fly

Her Daddy had the money…. All the milk and honey… she never had to pay any dues
Don't know what her name is… but man she sure is famous… she keeps herself all over the news
They're playing close attention… the new Inside Edition… Is feeding all they can to her fans
She's got the paparazzi… behind her Macerate… Their snapping off as much as they can
I say why, why, why has it got be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real
She got a brand new movie..bout giving up the bootie… she showed it all and nobody cared
And made her such a mess..when she didn't get the press so she went and cut off all her hair
I said why, why, why haS it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real
[Harmonica solo]
I said why, why, why haS it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real
He said he didn't do it.. they couldn't hold him to it… he smiled and walked away a free man
The glove didn't fit him…. the jury said acquit him…. It all worked out the way that he planned
But he Couldn't live without it… he wrote a book about it.. yea everything he did that night
They didn't get him for the crime…but he's gonna do the time… cause he's got to get back in the spotlight
I said why, why, why haS it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try… I've come to the conclusion.. we're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
I've come to the conclusion.. We're living an illusion.. better off just Keeping it real
Better off keeping it real
Oh we're better off just keeping it real

By the look in your eyes
I can tell you're gonna cry
Is it over me?
If it is, save your tears
For I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
That's my home
You had romance
Did you break it by chance
Over me?
If it's so, I'd like for you to know
That I'm not worth it, you see
For I'm the type of boy who is always on the roam
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
I'm telling you, that's my home
Oh, you keep telling me,
You keep telling me I'm your man
What do I have to do
To make you understand?
For I'm the type of guy who gives a girl the eye,
Everyone knows
But I love them and leave them,
Break their hearts and deceive them
Everywhere I go
Don't you know that I'm the type of man
Who is always on the roam?
Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
Yeah, wherever I lay my hat, that's my home
I'm telling you that's my home
That's my home
Yeah, I'm telling you that's my home
That's my home
Oh no, telling you baby, that's my home

When there's sadness in your eyes, I see it
You can't hide what's swaying on your mind
When there's trouble in your life, I feel it
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
When there's joy inside your heart, I'll share it
When you gotta dream, I say reach for the sky
And if you ever fall, I'll catch you
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
What's right is right
I don't wanna go a single night without you
I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
And when you cry, I'm crying
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
This I promise you forever
With you all the way to the finish line
And we're gonna cross that bridge together
Marching step by step, walking side by side
I don't wanna go a single night without you
And I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
And when you cry, I'm crying
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
I don't wanna go a single night without you
I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
When you cry, I'm crying
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
I don't wanna go a single night without you
And I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
When you cry, I'm crying
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
What's wrong with you is wrong with me

It's a whole new education
I'm learning from you all the time
There's no need for explanation
Your examples do just fine
I'm getting an A in Broken Hearts
I got my degree in Crying
You tell me, "It's not fair,"
but I am so gone
Oh, I loved you
Why'd you do me so wrong?
And to think I sat there
Singing you a love song
I'd give you everything
All I get from you is your runaround
You don't like these accusations
but I have seen with my own eyes
the compromising situations
as you walk around in your disguise
And I aced at Broken Hearts
I got my degree in Crying
You tell me, "It's not fair,"
but I am so gone
Oh, I loved you
Why'd you do me so wrong?
And to think I sat there
singing you a love song
Oh, I'd give you everything
All I get from you is your runaround
I aced at Broken Hearts
I got my degree in Crying
You tell me "It's not fair,"
but I am so gone
Oh, I loved you
Why'd you do me so wrong?
And to think I sat there
singing you a love song
I'd give you everything
All I get from you is your runaround
ooh yeah
no more lovin' on the run
no more just having fun

If it's loving that you want,
Well, it's loving you'll receive
'cause you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, the door is always open
If you need some company
You've come to the right place, baby
Heaven knows that I can't read your mind
We can turn it around,
Darlin', one step at a time
Angel, oh angel, can't you see
That I can't live without you,
So baby won't you help me please?
When there's no one left to trust,
Well, I think that you'll agree
That you've come to the right place, baby
When you're down on your luck
Well, just look around, you'll see
That you've come to the right place, baby
Sometimes you don't know
What you've got until it's gone
Then you look around
And it was right there all along
'cause angel, angel, you've got to understand
That I don't want to be without you
Oh, won't you help me if you can?
I ain't asking for the world
I just want you to believe
That you've come to the right place, baby
When there's no one else to hold you,
Well, I'll be there yes indeed
Oh, you've come to the right place, baby
Yeah, you've come to the right place
Oh, you've come to the right place, baby

Saw an old friend yesterday
Guess we both had too much to say
Seems we’ve taken different sides
All caught up in politics and pride
If we can get beyond the blame
I know we would see we are still the same
The distance between us will fade
There will be no distance between us someday
In that distant land across the sea
There are people just like you and me
They just want to see their children grow
And feel the same love we all know
When we get beyond all the hurt and blame
And realize we are all the same
The distance between us will fade
There’ll be no distance between us someday
We can rise up
Join each other
We can build a bridge
Brother to brother
Take the steps
We need to take
To get us to a better place
Where the distance between us will fade
There will be no distance between us one of these days
One of these days
We can rise up
Join each other
We can build a bridge
Brother to brother
Take the steps
We need to take
To get us to a better place
Where the distance between us fades away
There will be no distance between us one of these days
One of these days
We can rise up
Join each other
We can build a bridge
Brother to brother
No distance
Between us

The sun's shining and it's raining
No better way to describe my feel
When you left my heart was complaining
How a couple of days can act like years
I know living with me ain't easy
When I tell you how I feel
A simple phrase,
Hard to put into words
Let it grow
Let it show
Let it flow
I'm here to show you, baby,
This love is real
Wherever you go
My heart's bound to follow
Wherever you go
Then I'll be there
This being gone's
Been a tough pill to swallow
I hope you can feel me in the air
Now I don't mind a whole lot of waiting
If this is truly how you feel
I'm tired of scratching those reservations
If I just might, tonight, then all right
If it's real, then go on baby
And let's make that deal
Mmmmmm
I've given you the best I've got to offer
'cause there ain't no more in here to see
This premonition I have is awful
Thanks to the moonbeams' generosity
Now I don't mind a whole lot of waiting
If this is truly how you feel
I'm tired of scratching those reservations
If I just might, tonight, then all right
If it's real, then go on baby
If I just might, tonight, then all right
If it's real, then go on baby
Let's make that deal, mmmmmmmm

I've been traveling all these years,
Just barely getting by.
The road can be your friend
Or the devil in disguise.
When the tough get going,
The muses visit me.
Yet in soft, low tones,
They always say to me,
Say to me,
"It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang."
Where the city street meets the county road,
Where the sun is nice and warm,
No matter how long I may roam,
This song still takes us home,
Takes us home.
Now we'll tell you about these times,
When the blues come out to play,
And jazz leaves her number...
It's funny, she always says:
"It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang."
Now I'll tell you about these times,
When the blues come out to play,
And jazz leaves her number...
It's funny, she always says:
"Well, the city lights fly by me,
As their eyes are getting heavy.
We're sending our love over telephone wire.
These days getting lonelier by the mile...by the mile."
It ain't no groove thing,
It ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;
It's a soul thang.
It ain't no groove thing,
Yeah, ain't no country twang,
It's a simple refrain;

I think of all the places I've been
it always comes down to one thing
The only place I want to be
is with you
I think of all the faces Ive seen
and though they all mean something to me
The only face I want to see
belongs to you
All the places I've been meant nothing
They were nowhere
'cause you were not there
Everything I've been through
Everything before you
Was just time moving on
with no meaning
You're what was missing
I think of all the people I've known
Some I've loved with all of my soul
But the one that I have loved the most is you
I think of all the things that I've learned
and after all the pages I've turned
the only place I want to turn is to you
All the places i've been meant nothing
They were nowhere
'cause you were not there
Everything I've been through
Everything before you
was just time moving on with no meaning
You're what was missing
I think of all the places I've been
and it always comes down to one thing
The only palce I want to be is with you
And after everything that I've done
And after everyone that I've loved
The only thing I know is true
The only place I want to be is with you
The only place I want to be is with you

Nineteen, the number on his back
Voted captain of the high school football team
Took us all the way to state
Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee
He could catch, he could throw, he could run
He could go like you've never seen
Nineteen but on the day those twin towers came down
His whole world turned around
He told 'em all I can't play ball
There's a war on now
He marched right in with a few good men
And joined the marines at nineteen
He's the boy next door
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store
He's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream at nineteen
There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a solider's down
We need someone who can duck and run and get him out some how
Want one good man, raise his hand and take one for the team
Well, how 'bout you nineteen?
He's the boy next door
He might've carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream, nineteen, nineteen
They brought him home today with a big parade
Down on main street
He got a purple heart and a silver star
A solider gave a speech
Said he could catch, he could throw
He could run, he's the one that rescued me
Could have played for Tennessee

I look around this room
And feel the pool of tender years
Before we knew enough
To be afraid of all our fears
Baby there was no corner
We couldn’t fight our way out of
And every thought of leaving
Left us leaning on this love
We had it all you know
Before you started letting go
If you can walk away tonight
Give it up for good
Throw it all away like we swore we never wood
If you can tear down everything we built
Deny everything we felt
I guess there’s a lot I misunderstood
If you can leave here tonight
Baby maybe you should
Baby I just keep on seeing
All that moonlight shining down
The way our love could light up
This little Alabama town
So I keep holding on to hope
Still finding reasons to believe
Cause all I ever got from you
Was always just enough for me
But if it’s not for you
Do what you gotta do
If you can walk away tonight
Give it up for good
Throw it all away like we swore we never wood
If you can tear down everything we built
Deny everything we felt
I guess there is a lot I misunderstood
If you can leave here tonight
Baby maybe you should
If you can leave here tonight

I feel you letting go
Holding on, caught in between
Could you risk the pain
Take the chance your heart might bleed
Just to feel that way
Can't keep running in circles
I'm standing right here
Could you rewrite the story
But trade all the tears
Oh it's not too late to feel that way
Take a walk on the wire
I won't let you go
We'll follow the streetlights
Down this jagged road
We'll break it all open
Finding our way
We might end up broken and wounded
But baby it's worth it
for even one day
Just to feel that way
Let this moment unravel
and we'll be alright
The world might be gone tomorrow
But we're here tonight
Oh it's not too late just to feel that way
Let's walk on the wire
I won't let you go
We'll follow the streetlights
Down this jagged road
We'll break it all open
Finding our way
We might end up broken and wounded
But baby it's worth it
For even one day
Just to fall apart
I don't care
I'm not going anywhere
Without you being here by my side
Yeah I just don't feel right
We'll follow the streetlights
Let's walk on the wire
I won't let you go
We'll follow the streetlights
Down this jagged road
We'll break it all open
Finding our way
We might end up broken and wounded
But baby it's worth it
For even one day
For even one day
Just to feel that way

Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
And I was, burning up inside
My baby walked, in my bedroom
And I could hardly open my eyes
She said that she was going to the pawnshop
Just across the track
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
And then she said she would be right back
But I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
I remember so well when she slammed the door
But the girl didn't make it back no more
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day
Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to death
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for myself
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet", because they was lookin' for her too
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track
But I know my baby didn't make it back
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day
(instrumental break)
Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone
She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago"
I added two and two, and here's what I got: I got I'll never see that girl no more
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
But I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
Because he's got medicine and, money too
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

You took my heart, baby,
And you broke it in a thousand pieces
I may not have been much to you,
But every man still needs a reason
See, I tried so hard to love you girl
Paid attention to your every need
And right now my soul is crying out
Cause you mean so much to me
I'm crying "How you say goodbye so easily?
Why you take your lovin' so far from me?"
Now I'm calling out desperately,
"Won't you cut me some slack?"
Heaven knows I did everything you asked me to
Gave you all my love, but nothing was enough for you
I got down on my knees, prayed for you to come around,
But my prayers went unanswered 'cause you always let me down
Heaven knows I tried
Heaven knows I tried
Now what kind of man do you consider me
When I work from 5 to 5,
When I come home I put my time in, girl,
Just to keep our love alive?
Honey, I tried so hard to please you
Because you know how much I need you
Oh girl, my soul is crying out
And I'm on my bended knee crying,
"How you say goodbye so easily?
Why you take your lovin' so far from me?"
Now I'm calling out desperately,
"Won't you cut me some slack?"
Heaven knows I did everything you asked me to
Gave you all my love, but nothing was enough for you
I got down on my knees, prayed for you to come around,
But my prayers went unanswered 'cause you always let me down
Heaven knows I tried
Heaven knows I tried
Ever since that day you left me, girl,
I haven't had a wink of sleep
'cause I've been crying all night long, girl
Don't you know what you mean to me?
How you say goodbye so easily?
Why you take your lovin' so far from me?
Now I'm calling out desperately,
"Won't you cut me some slack?"
Heaven knows I did everything you asked me to
Gave you all my love, but nothing was enough for you
I got down on my knees, prayed for you to come around
But my prayers went unanswered, 'cause you always let me down
Heaven knows I tried
Heaven knows I tried
It's raining tears tonight

When I was a little boy, I felt so alone
Quiet country house that I had to call home
Living with a couple of folks, rich millionaires
Sat on their money; Lord, it seems they didn't care
Finally we moved to our own place
where I could walk around with a smile on my face,
and I knew in order to be a man
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Came to a school in the big city
Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty
They told me and teached me to live by their rules
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
I found out, not too long
Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song
I knew in order to be a man
I had to pull up my roots once again and move on in this land
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Then I joined the college ranks
There they said they'd teach me how to think
They gave me books to read and papers to write
They didn't know about this boy's coming fight
But I found out after awhile
reading those books was making me lose my smile
I knew in order to not conceal
I had to play music and express what I feel
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here

I'm rolling out
On Friday night
Got my good shoes on
And i'm all right
I got this crazy feeling
Down in my bones
I walk in the room
And the party's on
Everybody dancing
To blue eyed soul
Then i saw you baby
Standing alone
There was magic in the air
I was trying not to stare
But you caught me,
You caught me cold
Now there's nothing I can do
(but if you give me tonight) i'm gonna lay my burden down
(what i got on my mind) baby, it's you
(got this feeling inside) that you're feeling me too
So I'm making my move
(baby give me tonight)
Now here we are
And the vibe is real
We can make this happen
Tell me how you feel
You know my love is waiting, honey,
Take the wheel
There was magic in the air
You were trying not to stare
But I caught you
I caught you cold
Now there's nothing you can do
(but if you give me tonight) i'm gonna lay my burden down
(what i got on my mind) baby, it's you
(got this feeling inside) that you're feeling it too
So I'm making my move
(baby give me tonight)
It was a flash
Happened so fast
You looked at me
I knew
That's all it took
To get me hooked
And now i'm following through
There's just no way
That I can stay
Stay away from you
Now I'm making my move
(but if you give me tonight) i'm gonna lay my burden down
(what i got on my mind) baby, it's you
(got this feeling inside) that you're feeling me too
So I'm making my move
I'm making my move
(but if you give me tonight) i'm gonna lay my burden down
(what i got on my mind) baby, it's you
(got this feeling inside) so I'm making my move

Famous quotes by Taylor Hicks:

"Knowing they're going to have 20,000 people here, you could think of (the fans) screaming at the top of their lungs."

"They're one of the greatest rock bands of all time."

"I try to relax — yeah, right. No, you just have to take all of that energy and try to have the best performance you can."
