Sundown, summer is fading.
Run now, here the winter comes.
Deep down, in some snowdrift.
Frozen fire, thought you found the lift.
It's a showdown, it's a Mexican standoff.
And the river, is the prize.
To float away on her current,
To the sea lover, to the sea.
And I know there's a song in the wind to the sky.
And I know there's a song somewhere for you and I.
What I don't know is if we'll hear it.
I'm losin' spirit, woman sing to me.
First you say one thing then you say another.
I don't know the difference, were you lyin' to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.
Always on the road playin' your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin' out loud.
Wish you could see babe that you're runnin' blind, yeah!
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Well it's time for you to play all that you can say
Is ";Get out of my way. Don't be in the way";
Always hear you screamin'
I know you're just dreamin' of leavin' it all behind.
Hands keep goin' up and down
Eyes are turnin' around and around
Your goin' crazy and nobody minds
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Oooooo! You can't go on runnin' blind!
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Change is comin' no more runnin'
Do you know where your woman is tonight?
Do you know if she's sleepin' alone tonight?
Well, you might be right and you might be wrong
when you say you trust her alone.
But this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night.
Do you know where your woman is tonight?
So you think you know where your woman spends her time
And you think you know her every rhythm and rhyme
Well, I thought so too, baby, long a ago
But now I know how a blind man sees.
'Cause this rock 'n roll road has led you far into the night.
Do you know where your woman is tonight?
Sooner or later you will find a way
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day
To feel like morning in the dead of night
Sooner or later it's gonna be all right.
Now don't go thinking your life's a mess
Rather start thinkin' in terms of happiness
And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail againIt takes time sometimes to figure out
That there's nothing to worry about
And that there's plenty to be thankful for
It takes time sometimes to know the score
See everybody's got a smile inside
So put it upon your face and wear it with pride
And it's gonna happen
Just decide were you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazin' your own trail again
I've been sittin' back quietly,
Watchin' as my spirit fades.
As all of my attempts to do rightly
Get treated like some kind of terrorist raids.
Maybe I ask too much from you
Well I ain't gettin' too much in return.
I'm doin' my best to love you baby,
But the wheels are beginning to turn.
When you're cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.
'Cus the wheels are turnin' -- The feeling's burnin'
The thrill's returnin'
My soul is yearnin' -- my heart is churnin'
the wheels are turnin' again.
Maybe I'm actin' irrational
Hope I don't hurt your heart
This whole problem is only geographical
I just need some kind of new start.
And if I can't get inspired 'round here,
I'm going out to the world and learn.
There's action in my soul tonight.
I feel the wheels are beginning to turn.When you're cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.
'Cus the wheels are turnin' -- The feeling's burnin'
The thrill's returnin'
My soul is yearnin' -- my heart is churnin'
the wheels are turnin' again.
I remember the last time I got on one of these rolls.
I learned all about the tolls that it takes.
I get something in my mind -- it begins to unfold
I get out in the cold -- I can't do what I'm told
I get out of control -- I can't hold on to the brakes
When you're cut down to the bone.
You bleed but it heals.
You hurt still you must carry on.
'Cus the wheels are turnin' -- The feeling's burnin'
The thrill's returnin'
My soul is yearnin' -- my heart is churnin'
the wheels are turnin' again.
I was just a boy when the river ran dry
And I can still remember my mama cry
She said ";Son leave as fast as you can
But don't waste your life in this rock 'n' roll band";
I saw the light and left as fast as I could
I knew deep down it was gonna do me good
So I threw my Fender in an old friend's car
I knew I'd come home a rock n'roll star
So we hit the road but the road hit back
We thought we'd take the world with a hit and run attack
Now I'm center stage but it feels bizarre
Despite new cars and caviar
An overnight success created by the press
But they'll eat you up if you show them any stress
So I lick my wounds and I hide my scars
The whole world thinks I'm a rock n' roll star
Rock 'n' roll star, rock 'n' roll star
That's what they call you
That's not what you are
Rock 'n' roll star, rock 'n' roll star
I still wanna be a rock 'n' roll star
So we got a break in our whirlwind tour
I called home said I'm comin home for sure
I'm tired of hurry up, make the plane, jump in the car
I'm home on loan, I'm a rock 'n' roll star
I've never seen the sea seem so calm.
I've never felt the breeze slippin' thru the trees.
But now I've got you and it's takin so long.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I never felt young 'til I met you.
Never felt fear 'til I thought about losin' you.
Only a fool would think that it's all true.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I gotta feel more - more - more -
Than I've ever felt before.
There are deeper places to explore.
I've seen the world thru an eagle's eye.
I've felt the ocean's roar.
I still love you to the core,
I just gotta feel more.I never did believe that mountains could move.
Never did believe that the Yankees could lose.
I never thought love could come my way.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I never felt young 'til I met you.
Never felt fear 'til I thought about losin' you.
Only a fool would think that it's all true.
I wanna see more.
I gotta feel more.
I gotta feel more - more - more -
Than I've ever felt before.
There are deeper places to explore.
I've seen the world thru an eagle's eye.
I've felt the ocean's roar.
I still love you to the core,
I just gotta feel more.
There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me
Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams
Chorus:
We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams
(Solo)
I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive
chorus repeats 2x
Oho, in my dreams
You left this morning on an early plane
You left your picture behind to haunt me
You left in a steady rain
You say you'll miss me, say you want me
I'm left this mornin with a world of doubt
I'm left this mornin indecently exposed
So much we never did talk about
And your kiss goodbye, said the case is closed
(chorus)
I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose the best love that I've ever found
Don't want to lose you
Why didn't I cry when you said goodbye
Why didn't I break down, break down and say
I don't want to lose you
We met last night in a public place
And your new lover was just across the street
But tears washed across your face
Girl I wanted to, hold you close to me I don't want to lose you
I don't want to lose the best love that I've ever found
Don't want to lose you
Why didn't I cry when you said goodbye
Why didn't I break down, break down
I remember all the things that we did
The warmth of your smile
And your tender touch
I always knew I cared about you girl
I just didn't know how much
(solo)
(chorus)
Why can't we see eye to eye?
I feel you don't want to try
Cause you won't see me as I am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me cry again
You won't see me
Why'd you want to go and walk away?
I have got some things to say
But you won't see me as I am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me try again
You won't see me
I'll be movin on, I'll be long goneYou are in my range
I am in your sight
You say, things don't change
I say, they just might
You just might find that you can trust in me
If you look at more than just what you want to see
But you won't see me as I am
If you can't accept in me
The good with the bad
Then you won't see me around here again
You won't see me
I'll be movin on, I'll be long gone
Love is a positive vibration
With love you find the good in a bad situation
Everybody's gonna need a helping hand
It don't really matter where you stand
You're gonna need someone to lean on
Hate is a constant inflammation
A fire that's built on fear and frustration
One man's heaven is another man's hell
Every story has got two sides to tell
Don't let anybody pull you under
Some people just love to hate
They criticize when they can't relate
Some people don't love, they just love to hate
Some people can hardly wait
To tear down what you create
Cause some people don't love, they just love to hate
Somebody attacks without a reason
He's just trying to drag you down in the hole that he's in
Why are people so negative
I think that everybody ought to just live and let live
We could use a little understanding
Chorus
I guess some people been pushed around
Now they're trying to even it up by putting somebody else down
I believe that things can only get better
When everybody learns to live together
I cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?
I wanna watch my children laugh as they run
I wanna hold their children on my knee
And tell them stories of a vanishing sun
Of how it used to be
In my lover's life I want to share
I want to see the world now through her eyes
And about everything she sees, I care
The time has come to riseI cannot bathe you in a river gone black
I cannot hold you in a poison rain
If I can't see you through the air that we breathe
What will love in the future be?
Will we make it a different story?
Is there love in the future for you and me?
We're looking for answers in outer space
When will we discover the earth is a sacred place?
Chorus
When she turned away, you know it was just in time
Cause I'd used up all my strength
And you can't let a woman see you cryin
And you know it's real
She's not gonna change her mind
You choose not to change your ways
Though she begged you a thousand times
And you don't understand
And you want to be a man about it
In time you'll learn to live without it
And you know that you'll survive
But still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
You're gonna grow again
Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives
Your stare at the empty walls
Inside of this vacant home
You walk through these hollow halls
And at night you sleep aloneChorus
You've been over it so many times in your head
Looking for a hidden message of hope
In something she said
Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end
Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend
Chorus
you and your baby had some words today
Til not another word was left to say
I see that grin boy
Maybe you think you'll win boy
Until the sun goes down and once again boy
One lonely night
One lonely night
That's all it takes to completely break you
They say it's darkest right before the dawn
But oh those darkest hours can be so long
You're feelin' strong boy
Tellin' yourself she's wrong boy
But how much longer can this night go on boy (Chorus)
Ooh she's such a good find
Have you gone and lost your mind
You should know she's one of a kind
Maybe it's too late but this feelin is runnin through my soul
I think I learned what love is but I'm afraid I let it go
Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind
Turned lovin into leavin and I'm on the outside
You can't take these words to bed with you and hold onto them at night
They can't erase the emptiness and make everything alright
But your laughter and your tenderness will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight a part of you is here with me
Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not to late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me
I can hear your voice promising your love will never die
I can feel your golden skin on mine beneath the desert sky
So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go
Let the story of your life with mine forever go untold
I can't take these words to bed with me and hold onto them at night
They can't erase the emptiness and make everything alright
Cause your laughter and your tenderness will never disappear
No matter where you are tonight a part of you is here with me
Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not too late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me
(solo)
Here with me, I don't know where you are, all I know is I need you to be
Here with me, I know it's not to late, to turn around and get it straight
It's not fate to have you here with me
(repeat)
If ever you think you miss the thrill of the chase
Or just get tired of the same old face
I can be different honey, I can be new
Want someone else, I can be that too
Chorus: Whoa-oh, gonna make you feel right, honey if you want it, variety tonight
Whoa-oh, gonna make you feel right, honey you got it, variety tonight
The faces of love have their smiles and frowns
And every romance has its ups and downs
There are cases when love has been less than sweet
Love without hate is a little like light without heat
chorus
And the fire will fade if you forget it
'Cause love can't live unless you let it
Whoa, you gotta try just a little harder with the passin' days
You got to find some new ways, ow!
(Solo)
chorus repeats out...
My love is a rock, an immovable force
Anywhere that you are, my love is right here
With any tick of the clock
Life can change it's course
But my love will not
My love is a rock
Headed out into uncharted waters
What you feel is your only guide
And each step that you take brings you closer
Just trust what you feel inside
Cause something's telling you to keep on going
Telling you that your aim is true
Could be the voice of reason, or just blind devotion
Whatever it is, it's calling out to you, singing....
Chorus
Mixed messages shoot through a wire
Tender turmoil in your voice
Change is spreading through you like a fire
Bridges are burning, you made your choice
And as you're searching for peace in your world
You may find yourself spinning around, and around, and around
While the pain you've endured
Only serves to make you surer
Of the strength you have found, and then....
Chorus
You may not be looking for love, but love may find you
You may choose to close your eyes and run
You may leave love far behind you
In your eyes I can see the future
In your heart I can always trust
In your mind I will live on forever
In your arms I will turn to dust
These are feelings like I have never known
The song of my very soul
I can no longer silently sing it
I'm gonna take it to the mountain and let it roll singing.....
My love is a rock, an immovable force
Anywhere that you are, my love is right here
With any tick of the clock
Life can change it's course
Some things are here and then gone before you know
Some things disappear without a chance to grow
But my love will not
My love is a rock
My eyes are aching from the weight on them
The pain of living is such a bore
To make you happy I must bend for you
But I can't take it anymore.
And all the morning birds may laugh at me
But they've got the same straight jobs to do
And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all
With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.
I stumbled around with my eyes half closed
And curse the sun for being so bright
I hold you close, feel your warmth and wonder why
The river of life for you runs right.And all the morning birds may laugh at me
But they've got the same straight jobs to do
And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all
With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.
My head is poundin' as I'm sittin' here
And my mind's not workin' like it should
Come on, guitar, you've got to save me
And get me back feelin' like I should.
Say you know you've got to run
You know you've got to hide
You don't know who to follow
Or who is on your side
You don't know where you're goin'
You won't talk of where you've been
And I may see you tomorrow
Or nevermore again.
And I've seen you in the cities
I've seen you on the road
And your face is all a-twisted
'cause your brain is a heavy load
And then you turn and ask me
Say how will I ever know
And you talk of all your searchin'
But I think it's all for show
Open up my friend
Love someone if you can
Go on, let her in
Open up again.And I hear your mournful songs
I hear your painful crys
And I've seen the light of hunger
Linger deep within your eyes
And you talk about your sinkin'
And what a hole you're in
You expect for me to love you
When you hate yourself my friend.
And you've got yourself a potion
Oh to keep you from your sleep
In that dark and lonely hour
Well I've heard you laugh and weep
But you'll always be a-runnin'
Runnin' till you find your doom
'Cause you never face your lonely soul
You never face the gloom.
Open up my friend
Love someone if you can
Go on, let her in
Open up again.
I was sittin' with the sun, meltin' into the horizon
High in the hills, up above Topanga canyon
And I've never been to any other place that made me feel more like movin'
Made me feel like movin'.
Stopped into a shop where I met a young lady
She thought I ought to move, she said livin' here could save me
Oh and I've never been with any other girl who made me feel more like movin'
She made me feel just like movin'.
But I used to wonder why people got so excited
About movin' to California
I've only been here a week but I've been enlightened
To a whole new way of life
And it makes me feel just like movin'.
I was sittin' with the sun, meltin' into the horizon
High in the hills, up above Topanga canyon
And I've never been to any other place that made me feel more like movin'
Made me feel like movin'.
But I used to wonder why people got so excited
About movin' to California
I've only been here a week but I've been enlightened
To a whole new way of life

Backwoods killer from a river town
A mixed up kid that let his hair hang down
High school rebel, he's always been bad
And his poor old man's still wond'ring 'bout the lad
But he's gone, gone away to find his fortune.
There's a long-haired lady lookin' for a home
With her young son, he'd left them both alone
And his black-haired lover's got a broken heart
'Cause her lonely boy just won't play the part
'Cause he's gone, gone away to find his fortune.And it's been a long, long way
From that little town to L.A.
And I can't turn around
Ladies, I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune.
A restless nature fed my crazy dreams
So I packed my bags in a big limousine
laughed at the people who were laughin' at me
Laughed and said I'm gonna be what I be
And I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune.
I've been on the road now for a day and a night
I've been lonesome and hungry for miles
I've seen how you people been lookin your lies
I'm gonna kill y'all with your own smiles
But I wish that y'all could get a look at the news
And see what the man's puttin down
Well I gotta hold a one yesterday night
And they threw me outta this town, oh yeah
Well it's gonna be awhile before I get home
But when I do that's the end of my roamin
Cause I've been gone a lifetime and I can't believe
That the people I trust still can deceive
By the time I get back here things have to change
Cause if they don't there's gonna be alot of strange
Lookin people marchin round, clappin their hands
And they won't stop till everyone understands
Oh yeah
Let me ride, let me ride
Let me ride now, let me ride now, yeah
Livin's just like sleepin
Why is life not like a dream
Now the dawn is weepin
Another sunlight sees
Oh I've been here too long now
I got to go outside
Ya people gotta let me ride Let me ride, ride, ride
I got to feel free inside (4x)
(solo)
Ya people gotta let me ride
Let me ride, ride, ride
I gotta feel free inside (4x)
Diamond studded man
Ruby coated plan
Makes my heart ache to think that money could take you from me
Midnight dream
Almost made me scream
Nightmares came now that money took you from me
(Chorus)
Well, you're a flash tan queen from the southern shores
Like a rotten peach layin' in the Georgia sun
Well, you can lay all day, get your back real brown
But a dollar can take away your frown
Fat rat queen
Golden limousines
All of these things just come between you and me, yeah
Lacy white gown
Just makes me wanna frown
My heart aches now that money's taken you from me
(Chorus)
(solo)
Shakes me apart
Make believe hall
I'm feelin' like a flower stuck on somebody's wall
Midnight dream
Lord it made me scream
My heart aches now that money took you from me
(Chorus)
Oh, you're a flash tan queen
Please don't worry now about the mornin'
When it's time we'll sip our wine and sleep
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Listen to my words now look no further
What you've seen is what I mean no more
Woah, but I've been known
To love more than one person
Woah, and I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
They burn like cancers they just won't let you live I've been known
To love more than one person
And I've been shown
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
Don't dream of answers cause you know I've none to give
We move like dancers steppin on each other to live
And pouncin hard
Like animals in the yard
And there's no healin, lookin, feelin
There's no denyin that bein kind can hurt
Someone sometimes
Oh, there's no denyin, woah Lord there's no denyin
That bein' kind can hurt someone sometimes
(solo)
Well if you're ever in a tight spot,
and all the things around you are gettin' hot,
come to me and I can cool you off.
And if you ever get yourself in a jam,
and if you ever feel you need to find a man
call my number and, darling, you found one
But I know now, it can never work out
the way I really wished that it would.
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
And the walls get a little closer,
and my throat gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
If you got the feeling it ain't right tonight
And if the fire at home ain't as hot as you like
I've got a fire that's burning for you.
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life,
I'll come a-runnin' and show you the world.
Now there's nothing left to do
but to lay my head down for sleeping
I'm weak with exhaustion and the lover's blues
and I still can't forget those weeks I had with you
But I guess it was only a summer love
Nothing too serious and nothing to last
I feel like a fool to be longing for that lyin' summer love
Once we both loved just a bit too hard
for deep down we both knew it was dyin'
And we both talked just a little about forever
but we both knew we were doing some lyin'.
Now the snow falls, freezing my hurt for you
but some nights I feel it's still there.
I've come back now to the life I've known before you
but I doesn't have the same old meaning.
Standing by the roadside
Old newspaper in my hand.
Reading yesterday's headlines,
Nothing new, I said it's all the same.
Everywhere!
I'm the fool of the year and I've been waiting
Twenty five years of anticipating
I've seen changes in my land
People I'm here to tell you,
I've been around since the world began.
Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,
I'm an anti-establishment man.
I'm tired of your treating
All of my children the same.
Everywhere!
Spending all that money
On a stupid war in Vietnam
(When we need it at home)
People I'm here to tell you,
I think it's 'bout time that the world began (all over!)
Well, Mr. Politician, reform me if you can,
I'm an anti-establishment man.
I've been trying to run my life
Using every trick I knew.
I say anything anytime to anybody.
I do what I always wanted to.
But that's no way to keep me happy.
It's an old disguise.
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise.
I can't seem to end my day
Until I feel something's said and done.
A flashy guitar or a hot new car
Or at least a little fun.
But that's no way to keep me healthy.
It's an old disguise.
I may be wealthy but I can still be wise
Drop my old disguise. Drop it. Drop it. It's an old disguise.
Drop it. Drop it. Open up your eyes.
Drop it. Drop it. You ain't got nine lives
Drop it. Drop it.
Outlaw running from the law but he's
Got nowhere to run to
Big law he broke it and ran faster
Than the lightning bolt
Chasing down the golden sun, running away
From the blue
He ran with no direction in mind, just
Running like a crazy colt
And he's gonna run let the four winds slap his face
He's gonna fly, let the sky be his guide
He's gonna lie beneath a blanket of stars
He's gonna run, wild as the western windBad lands are sheltering him, maybe Dakota's
His home
Red man's become his friend, when no one else
Would have him
There's an Indian woman who keeps him from
Being alone
She stands tall by his side, but the law's
Got him out on a limb
Talkin' 'bout a hot-wired kid who thought he knew it all
And what he didn't know, he didn't need to
Changin' women like tires when their use wore thin
Retread feelings, that's all we knew
He's been runnin' lights for years, grindin' down those forward gears
He's got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat
Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears
Chorus:
One too many girlfriends, and too little feeling left
He better find the one, he's gonna take on the run, before it runs him down
He's got far too many choices, he better make a few of them
He wants to have it all, and wind up standin' tall
I hope his dream never ends, I guess it just depends
He's got one too many girlfriends
Well there's so damn much writin' written on his walls
I can't imagine that he doesn't read it
Such a loud clear message screaming through the halls
Keep your advice, he don't need it
He's heard of living up to the truth, thinks it means giving up his youth
He doesn't wanna get a haircut, looking for a shortcut
He needs a change, he needs more than a phone booth
chorus
Whooo, there's anger and romance at every turn
Whooo, be careful boy that you don't crash and burn
You're in about as deep as you can get
It's a matter of time before you get wet
I wouldn't be in your shoes on a bet
(Solo)
He's been runnin' lights for years, grindin' down those forward gears
He's got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat
Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears
chorus
He's got one too many girlfriends... look out!
Maybe we don't need to share the same roof, maybe
If you really love me, you don't need me 'round for proof, baby
If I go to the desert for some clean dry air
We could have ourselves a long distance love affair
We'll take it anywhere, a nationwide pair
Well If your living together isn't working out
I'd rather live in Nebraska, than keep livin' here in doubt
I'll take an alternate route, I'll find a new way
There are places to go that we've never dreamed of
We're gonna find a new way to love
Chorus:
We're gonna find a new way to love, find out what satisfies us
The good old ways just ain't good enough
We're gonna find a new way to love
Maybe we could learn to like the same things, maybe
Discover the joy that togetherness brings, baby
We could share our records, we could see the same plays
Even plan our vacations for the very same days
We'll put our lives in phase, livin' in a happiness haze
Well it may not be easy, but then nothin' else was
Ask a mountain climber why he does what he does
He'll tell you just because, I need to find a new way
Hey now we've got a mountain of our own to rise above
We're gonna find a new way to love
chorus
(Solo)
Maybe we don't need to see eye to eye, maybe
We don't need to vote for the very same guy, baby
You can move to the left whenever I keep right
I'm a big bad wolf, you can be Snow White
I've got a huge appetite, you wanna eat light
I'm down here beggin' for more, you tell me you've had enough
We gotta find a new way to love
chorus repeats 4x
We're gonna find a new way to love
Chorus:
Can't get you out of my heart, can't get you out of my soul
When I get next to you, all I get is out of control
Can't get you out of my head, I've memorized every word you ever said
You've been here from the start, can't get you out of my heart
Sometimes I feel like breakin' up with you
I'm tired of bein' true, tired of bein' blue
Still you're the one I give my best love to
No other girl would do the things to me you do, and I
chorus
Sometimes I think I might be better off free
No strings attached to me, yeah that's how it should be
But just about the time that I get goin'
You read me like a poem, you keep me comin' home, and I
chorus
I look at you sometimes, I see the woman I love
But I can be so blind, the good times I sometimes lose sight of
chorus repeats 2x
If ever you think you miss the thrill of the chase
Or just get tired of the same old face
I can be different honey, I can be new
Want someone else, I can be that too
Chorus:
Whoa-oh, gonna make you feel right, honey if you want it, variety tonight
Whoa-oh, gonna make you feel right, honey you got it, variety tonight
The faces of love have their smiles and frowns
And every romance has its ups and downs
There are cases when love has been less than sweet
Love without hate is a little like light without heat
chorus
And the fire will fade if you forget it
'Cause love can't live unless you let it
Whoa, you gotta try just a little harder with the passin' days
You got to find some new ways, ow!
(Solo)
chorus repeats out...
I found out, just a little too late,
I had my doubts, but I decided to wait,
even though I could feel somethin' comin' it came as such a surprise!
I shoulda known when you first started runnin' away before my eyes.......
.....I'm so out of season,
you left me cold & I'm standin' here freezin',
I'm so out of season, now!
I lost out,
I wasn't playin' to win,
& then I think about how I just took it all in,
just when I thought I coudln't get any higher,
you cut me down a size,
I shoulda noticed when you put out the fire,
instead I just closed my eyes.........
........I'm so out of season,
you left me cold and I'm standin' here freezin',
I'm so out of season, now!
I'm so out of season,
you left me cold and you gave me no reason,
I'm so out of season, now!
Even though I could feel somethin' comin' it came as such a surprise,
I shoulda known when you first started runnin' away before my eyes.........
.........I'm so out of season,
you left me cold and I'm standin' here freezin',
I'm so out of season, now!
I'm so out of season,
you left me cold and you gave me no reason,
I'm so out of season, now!
I'm so out of season, now
I'm so out of season
Here I come again
I don't really care to turn back
Trying to find you directions
But I seem to be losin' track
I believe we ought to make a run for it
just to see how far we can go
I ain't just around for the fun of it
But until you try it, baby, you'll never know so...
Say you love me or say goodnight
Say we've made up or on with the fight
'Cause there's no love lying' in the eyes of the night so,
Say you love me or say goodnight
There's no use hangin' on a memory
No good livin' a lie
I got no use for mediocrity
You know tonight's the night
We either do it or die
I can't kiss the telephone, I can't hug your picture
And these postcards just remind me how far away you are
There's two thousand miles of highway lyin' between us
But the way I feel tonight it doesn't seem like all that far
`Cus when I get home
I know the first thing we're gonna do
When I get home
I'm gonna turn my body loose on you
It's been so long, I've been so true
I want you when I get home
If I could I'd order you for breakfast every morning
There'd be a headline story about you in my USA Today
Every in-flight movie'd feature you and all your glory
And into your friendly skies, this airplane would carry me away
`Cus when I get home
I know the first thing we're gonna do...
Now you could move and leave no forwarding address
You could be living on the moon
But I know just where you are, I don't have to guess
You're waiting up for me and praying that I'll be home safe and soon
`Cus when I get home
I know the first thing we're gonna do...
I can't stop, can't stop rockin'...
The whole thing started 1963
Young girls screamin'
Black and white T.V.
I was so ready, for something to set me free
Those four boys from England, singin' right to me
That night I had a dream, of a rock 'n' roll band
Everyone said no, no, no. I said yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't stop, can't stop rockin'...
Never really fit in
Couldn't quite be cool
Got my ass kicked up and down the halls of my high school
When things got too crazy
When life got too cruel
I would just remember the boys from Liverpool
When I was lost, they were there to hold my hand
When everyone said no, no, no. They said yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't stop, can't stop rockin'...
Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start
We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
There's a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
There's a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there
And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
As we seek out understanding
As we learn to forgive
When we open up our minds
When our words are true and kind
We are building the bridge
Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
Live every moment - love every day
'Cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.
I walked for seven miles this mornin'. Footprints in the sand.
Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.
But I will walk on 'til I can no longer stand.
I'll take you by the hand and we'll...
Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
There's water in the wind tonight.
There's a chill in the air.
It's coolin' down my skin tonight
Soakin' through your hair.
There's warmth enough within' tonight
for both of us to share.
We can take it anywhere. And we'll...
Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.
Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.
I will search for that place but 'til I find it all I can say is...
Live every moment - and love every day
How can I show you?
I take back what I told you.
'Cause something happens when I hold you,
And that makes everything all right.
And oh... oh... I need you tonight.
I just need you tonight.
I wrote all I can write.
I just need you tonight.
In need you tonight.
Secrets I keep here.
Buried so very deep here.
If only somehow you could sleep here,
you'd make everything all right.
(Album: The Ballads, 1999)
"This is just for you
I dedicate everything I do
My fear is gone
And I feel so strong
Love has never been so true
I've never seen what I see in you
I watch you sleep
Your beauty runs so deep
Wherever you go, I'll walk beside you
And whatever you need, I will provide you
Take my hand, and make me your man
'Cuz I live just for you
And I give just for you
And your love has me wanting to
Be the best man I can be
I believe in forever
Just for you and me
This is just for us
A future built on truth and trust
And your sweet touch
I want you so much
Wherever you go, I'll walk beside you
And whatever you need, I will provide you
Take my soul, and never let go
'Cuz I live just for you
And I give just for you
And your love has me wanting to
Be the best man I can be
I believe in forever
Chorus:
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin' nowhere fast
Woke up this morning and went back to sleep
The sun was pourin' and the rain was gettin' deep
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
'Cause everywhere I turn, I wind up headin' back to you
I don't know how long I will lay here in this bed
Staring at the ceiling, going crazy in my head
Got to find some meaning, some kind of reason to go on
The only one I had was you and now you're gone, and
chorus
My friends all tell me I should mellow out
Surely I've got better things to think about
Must be something I can find to help me lose these blues
But the only thing that's on my mind, is standing in your shoes
chorus
You'd think by now I'd be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
I'm all dressed up but without you there's nowhere to go
(Solo)
Ooh, you'd think by now I'd be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
I'm all dressed up but without you there's nowhere to go
And I'm so tired of gettin' nowhere
Wish I was inspired, but it's just not there
I hope this doesn't last, 'cause I'm tired of gettin'
Tired of gettin', tired of gettin' nowhere
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, so real tired of gettin' nowhere
Tired of gettin' nowhere, tired, tired of gettin'
I'm tired of gettin' nowhere, ooh yeah, won't you say it, ooh yeah
Tired of gettin' nowhere fast - get some rest!
I couldn't fall asleep all last night my mind was racin'
I left so much behind to find the dream that I was chasin'
And now I have a need to take a look at what is real
I need to learn to live and love and breathe and touch and feel
Chorus
But all I really know is what I see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone would open up my heart and look inside of me
But I'm the only one who holds the key
Your body aglow as if to show you peacefully dreamin'
So only you could know that deep inside somebody was screamin'
And callin' out to anyone who could help you through the night
And hopin' that someone would come along to make it right
But all you really know is what you see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone could open up your soul and set the demon free
But you're the only one who holds the key
She's gonna love me like you never could
She's gonna treat me like you never would
She's gonna love me live I've never been loved before
You should have grabbed me when you had your chance
You got a little bit too big for your own leather pants
I could have told you from the start
No one's ever taken better care of your heart
Now your gone, I don't care
I've got a woman who will always be there, and...
She's gonna love me like you never could
She's gonna treat me like you never would
She's gonna love me like I've never been loved before
She's gonna spin me like a roulette wheel
She's gonna treat me like I'm her last meal
She's gonna love me and I keep comin' back for more
Ooh she's gonna love me
Ooh she's gonna love me
She's gonna love me like her favorite hobby
Throw me down and love me in the hotel lobby
You figured I'd just always be around
You thought we were so hot, you could have any boy in town
Baby I've got some news for you
I've got places to go and people to do
Yeah, I cried a little when you said good-bye
But now my eyes are filled with tears of joy, cus-
She's gonna love me like you never could
She's gonna treat me like you never would
Rock And Roll Music
(Chuck Berry)
Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could her my man a - whalin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man they were goin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Way down South they gave a jubilee
Them country folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home - brew from a wooden cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play the tango
I'm in no mood to dig a mambo
It's way too early for the congo
So keep a - rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that rock'n'roll music
any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock - roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Lookin' for a love
Searchin' everywhere
I can't get enough and I don't really care
If it takes a lot of waitin'
'Cause I've got the time to spare
It's gonna take a lot more lovin'
But we got plenty of that around here.
Laughin' heading home a woman could be fine
Flying back alone, I don't really mind
'Cause it gives me the time for thinking
How so many people just ruin their lives
Folks miss out on so much lovin'
By picking it up before it arrives.
I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere
I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere.Lookin' for a love
Searchin' everywhere
I can't get enough and I don't really care
If it takes a lot of waitin'
'Cause I've got the time to spare
It's gonna take a lot more lovin'
But we got plenty of that around here.
I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere
I can't see it but I know when it's there
I can just feel it, it's everywhere.
Hey, wait a minute Something just ain't right Hey, wait a minute
Something's just not fair
I was supposed to win the lottery
I'm supposed to be a millionaire
I'm supposed to be a worldwide tourist
With lots of equity and life insurance
Yes I'm supposed to be a gold card member
Rubbin' elbows with the big time spenders
I'm supposed to be a wealthy man
But all I've got are blistered hands
Hey, wait a minute!
Hey, wait a minute
There's got to be a better way
I'm workin' twice as hard but gettin' no richer
Than I was yesterday
I'm supposed to drive a big Mercedes
Live in a mansion full of naked ladies
I'm supposed to own my own casino
Be a superstar like Sammy, Frank and Dino
Some day I'm gonna be a big success
And tell my boss to kiss my ass
Hey, wait a minute
Something must be wrong
I'm supposed to be dining on caviar
And drinking Dom Perignon
Yes I'm supposed to have open invitations
To classy country clubs all across the nation
Yes I'm supposed to have jewelry and diamonds
And a fifty foot yacht I can sail around the islands
I'm supposed to be so carefree
But all I've got is misery
Hey, wait a minute
Something's just not right
Give me a ride on your roller coaster
Give me a thrill, I can't help feelin' bored
Give me a dime to call my baby closer
'Cause I'm alone, I'm feelin' bored
I can't help thinking I'm ignored
I've been away far too long to recall
Just what it's like to be among my friends
Give me a pill to ease my nervous tension
'Cause I can't hardly see the end
I long to be among my friends I've been on the road for too long, I don't know
I'm walking around and I don't know where to go.
Well I'm half-crazed and I don't know who to be
Won't you please! Help me please!
Won't you please! I long to be at ease!
Give me a ride on your magic carpet
Take me away from this mediocrity
What must I do to get me feeling better
I guess it all boils down to me
Responsibility's on me
Dream Weaver
I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget today's pain
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Dream weaver
Dream weaver
Dream weaver
- Gary Wright
I think to much about you baby
You've on my mind more than you should
I would do without you now
I would walk away now if I could
I never needed anybody baby
I'm the one who never thought I would
I keep telling myself I don't need you
I keep telling myself I don't want you, now
I'd tell myself anything to make me believe
That I don't love you baby
But I can't lie to my heart
Something's got me running to you
Something tells me I can't run away
Even if I thought of leaving
The thought of you would only make me stay
No one's ever gotten to me baby
I'm the one who always got awayChorus
I can't tell the sky that it's not blue
How can I tell you that I don't love you?
Found myself heading down toward Springfield
The last sign said it was twelve miles west
It's gettin' hard to see through the salt on my windshield
But it looks like I'm gonna make it before the sun sets
The morning I arrived was Lincoln's birthday
So I walked through his house and saw his tomb
I decided that a tour through the Civil War Memorial Museum would be a drag
I was tired of seeing monuments about other men's doom
Now I don't want you people to think that all there is around Springfield Illinois
Are landmarks telling `bout the good old Lincoln years
Cus just north of town I saw a sign that said the Illinois Opry is open tonight
And the sweet sound of country music filled my ears
And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to play
It may be a while before I'm ready
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
I could easily write a whole song about the licks that guitar man was pickin'
I could go on for hours `bout the old boy on pedal steel
But I'm not singing `bout people who were just playin' music
I'm singing about how fine their music made me feel
There's a lot of people who have taken years of lessons
Trying to learn how to make their music fit the trend
But the simple folks at the Opry have got somethin' special
And I think that we all could use a lesson or two from them
And I want to be a star in the Illinois Opry now
The people in the country certainly know how to play
It maybe a while before I'm ready
But I'm gonna be up on that stage someday
Staring up at the moonlight
Looking up at the stars
I'm alone and I just want to be with you
But I don't know where you are
Maybe I took you for granted
So blind, I let your love slip away
Now I'm missing you so much I can't stand it
Please believe me when I say,
After tonight, I never will be the same again
This time I'm sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love I can
After tonight I promise, I'm gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and I'll be all right
After tonightAnticipating the moment
When I can make love with you again
Patience is a virtue I'm finding
Very hard to understand
After tonight, I will never be the same again
This time I'm sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love I can
After tonight I promise, I'm gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and I'll be all right
After tonight
[Instrumental]
Expanse of land that would cushion your fall
As you tumble down from the sky
Marble cakes of delicious design and
They're yours, you can fly
I have no wings but I wish that I had
I have dreams about it every night
And I can soar with the wind in my face
On my flight, on my flight
Won't you try and just bother
Won't you bother to care
And then somehow or other
You'll be there
Cotton clouds look like mountainous land
Covered by December snow
And I can see from my majestic view
Down below, yes I know
Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are.
Well some people in bound infatuation
While some others spell depression as the law
Someone's mother getting no imagination
So beware then, baby, sin is at everyone's door.
Don't be the man I know with no expressions lord
Ain't got none at all
Pity the man I know with no expressions lord
Ain't got none at all
But you'll never, no you'll never see this man laughing
Come to think of it, I've never seen this man cry
But you might by sitting quietly hear him singing
By and by, he'll stop and sigh, his voice will even start to speak and he will say goodbye.
Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are.
Wish You Were There
REO Speedwagon
I know a place
Where you can go
When you're flying high
Or laying low.
And I've got the time.
I've got plenty to spare.
I've got the time,
And I've got the place,
I just wish you were there.
I've got the will
To have you around.
Whether you're up,
Or whether you're down.
And I've got the way
To make you shine.
I've got the will,
And I've got the way,
I just wish you were mine.
(Music)
Repeat verse #1
From: hightop
Say good-bye
Look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say good-bye
Hold your head high
Wherever you're goin it's alright
Things must change
You know they always do
Get re-arranged
No reflection on you
Just face the danger
And follow it through
And the change is gonna be for the best
Well I know
How crazy it feels
When you go
Go out shufflin your heels
So take it slow
And make only good deals
You're a young man and it's time to go west
Oooh yes
You say good-bye
You look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
You say good-bye
You hold your head high
Wherever you're goin it's alright Take a chance
Go on make your move
Nothin' fancy
You got nothin' to prove
Just make a stance
You know were countin' on you
You are the one with the vision
So move out
Move ahead of the fear
Have no doubt
In your mind there's a very clear out
And someone must steer
It is you who must make the decision
Oooh yeah

It's all on my shoulders
And it was gettin harder to bear
Each day I was gettin older
And I was startin to show the wear
Tonight I'm gonna get it all
Gonna lay my work on the shelf?
Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you
Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you It was a hard run this time momma
And it ain't ever gonna get easier
I'm searchin through my memories
And I can't remember of a year?
But tonight I'm gonna get it all
Gonna lay my work on the shelf
Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you (2x)
(solo)
Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you (4x)
You ask how long I'll love you
It's hard to explain but I'll try
Tell me how long has the sun been shining
Above us in the sky?
Till the last day of forever,
If I have it my way we'll stay together
Till the rivers run dry I'll be loving you.
Till the mountains have crumbled
I'll always be true
And if for some reason you say goodbye
Ask me how long I would cry
Till all the rivers run dryThis path that we're walking
May be rough and rocky sometimes
But we'll believe in one another
Whatever we find
And when you need a hand to guide you
I will be there walking beside you
Till the rivers run dry
I'll be your builder, skilled at the tasks you ask
I'll be you sinner baby, allowing my soul to be sold
But I'm drawing the line there woman
I ain't takin' no more abuse
I'll be puttin' my foot down and then
Throw the chains away
Locked in your prison, much too late for escape
Your walls are closin' in, let's tie the knot while we're hot
Bells are ringing, but my ears won't hear
And you're comin' for me, with the chains and the key
It's the season of the golden leaves
When the wind turns into a bitter breeze
I was walking thru the oak leaves on the hill
With my lady, oh she's got a strong will
And I see her thru these ever-clouded eyes
This time it's goodbye and I can't answer why
Maybe it's because I ain't quite shy of running yet
Or maybe it's because I'm the hometown boy in the spotlight
But my roots ain't in the ground
They're on the road
Settle down was all I ever heard from her
";If you cared,"; she said, ";you would weigh my words";
But my life doesn't ride on the factory road
Baby, don't ask me why, I can't even pretend to know
I thought I had all I could ask for
Only a fool would think there was more
I would never have believed
That anything could feel brand new
Then I met you
I'd been around the world, and then some
Anything I wanted I could get some
But I had not been anywhere
I could not share the things I knew
Then I met you
Ooh then I met youI never thought I would ever say
That I need you the way I do
But then I never felt what I'm feeling today
I just never knew, then I met you
I've heard my songs over the radio
They follow me wherever I go
I wold listen to my own words
And wonder why they'd never ring quite true
Then I met you...and I knew
I always wondered if I could give
Enough love for a woman to live on
But as I grow, as I learn and live,
I find it's best to forget and forgive.
I could be dancing on the ocean.
I could be singing to the sea.
But I am poetry in motion.
I'm yours!
When I was young I was so filled with love,
Jealousy stung but never deep enough
'Cause I feel rain falling from above.
I only thirst for your to share my cup.
I could be dancing on the ocean.
I could be singing to the sea.
But I am poetry in motion.
I'm yours, people. Take me.
When I awaken
feelin' no pain
visibly shaken
waitin' to touch you again.
My temperature's risin'
but I'm fallin' a bit behind.
And that ain't so surprising
we're gonna take our own sweet time.
Babe we can take our own sweet time
And spend it when we want to 'cos it's yours and mine.
Let our love come easy and we find
We can make it and we'll take our own sweet time.
I know when I hold you
it's a feelin' I can't explain.
But I never told you
I couldn't take it again.
But now I am ready
I am ready to make you mind
So I'm holin' steady
gonna take our own sweet time
Baby
we can take our own sweet time
Baby
we can take our own sweet time . . .
Baby
Go home, pretender
I think this is the end here
It's been a long time decidin'
But I think I've found the right end.
You're gonna go away, start a new life
Forget today, start a new life
Start a new life.
Hopes crushed and battered
But you laugh as if it didn't matter
This joke is gonna turn blue
And I won't be there to hold you.You're gonna go away, start a new life
Forget today, start a new life
Start a new life.
Go home, debater
It was soon and now it's later
And that's only a piece of paper
So don't you stand there a-laughin' and a-wavin' it.
You're gonna go away, start a new life
Forget today, start a new life
Start a new life.
Hometown lady, leavin' for the city
Bags in hand, she's boardin' the train
Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine
I waved goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving.
But a woman can't be high-class
In a lonely farmer's town
And the son of a poor man
Ain't gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.
Maybe soon I'll see her on some television show
Painted lips and fingers singing for the world
A fashion plate for sure dancin' for your plastic world
Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand
But a woman can't be high-class
In a lonely farmer's town
And the son of a poor man
Ain't gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.
I was sittin' on a plane, I was lookin' at the dreary day
I saw somebody, she was sittin' just an aisle away
She was a first class lady, and I knew that she looked refined
My heart started thumpin' louder than the engine whine
I got the sky blues-- I'm up in the air
Runnin' from a lady who just don't care
And all I wanna do is get down to earth with you
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, I got the sky blues
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, I got the sky blues
Well, I sat down beside her and I told her I was feeling blue
I said, ";My girl don't want me and it's breaking my heart in two";
Well I felt so bad that I didn't even stick around. I said,
";We may be flying but heart's draggin' on the ground.";
Shakin' It Loose
(Richrath)
She looked at me with fire in her eyes
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries
and try as she might*
I'm gonna be alright
Shakin'it loose tonight
She said ";Honey, forget me quick";
Another fool another Hollywood trick
Movin'on a red light
But I'm gonna be alright
Shakin'it loose tonightI got to go there's someone on the phone
Knock on my door but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
But I'm gonna be alright
Shakin it loose tonight
Shake,shake,shakin'it loose tonight,
Shake,shake,shakin'it loose tonight,
I'm gonna make it
Shakin it loose tonight
There's truth in your eyes, let me hear it from your lips
Your tears say you cry, let your words be the whip, baby
There's no reason anymore to live with all the pain
Take this key, unlock the door, before it makes us both insane
Spill your heart out to me, darlin', girl I really need to know
Chorus:
Screams and whispers, don't be afraid
Let's be more than lovers tonight
Screams and whispers, let go of the pain
Whatever we uncover, we can make it, make it alright
Alright
I know you've been alone, takin' care of yourself
Girl don't you think it's time to trust somebody else?
Try just once to let your guard down, you've got nothin' there to hide
chorus
(Solo)
Spill your heart out to me, darlin', girl I really need to know
chorus repeats 2x
(2nd time: "Whatever we uncover, there'll be screams and whispers tonight")
Alright
Out Of Control
(Don Henley, Glenn Frey & T. Nixon)
Oh, my, don't the sky look spacious
With the stars all shinin' down
Well, I can hear the night wind howlin'
It's a high and lonesome sound
And I ain't had a woman in so long
I can't feed my starvin soul
Come on, saddle up, boys, we're gonna ride into town
We're gonna get a little out of control
There's a card game in the corner
And the barmaid smiled at me
Well, I tipped her a sliver dollar and
she brought me a drink for free
All the town-folk call her the cheap one
And the gamblers call her Flo
Come on, set 'em up again
I got me a friend and I think I'm gettin' out of control
Oh,oh,oh
She's cool water, her momma taught her
I got news, she's mine and mine alone
And if anybody's lookin' for trouble
You know I'm the one you want to try
Well, I'll fight any man who wants to
And I don't care who or why
You got to gamble on your story
You got no guts, you get no glory
And I'm bettin' my money on an ace in the hole
Think I'm gettin' out of control
Ridin' the storm out
Waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night
in the rocky mountain winter
My wine bottle's low
watching for the snow
Thinking 'bout
what I'm missing in the city
(chorus)
And I'm not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossin' the range
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out
My lady's beside me
she's there to guide me
She says that alone
we've finally found our home
The wind outside is frightning
But it's kinder than the
lightning life in the city
It's a hard life to live
but it gives back what you give
(chorus)
Ridin' the storm out
Waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night
in the rocky mountain winter
My wine bottle's low
watching for the snow
Thinking 'bout
what I've been missing in the city
Strumming down the river, the moonlight would shiver
Are hurting me with dance in my eyes
I'm on the other side, they're gonna have them videos
Back and back to their side
Like tears to a mouse, a biting to a clam
I was tracking to the opposite shore
A passion from a dead man, playing, burning, biting
Life from limping eyes, yeah
There's an object of the story, don't mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you, don't mess with the prison women
When momma would've done it, I tell y'gon' have to do me
Does dancin' ever come again?
They came to decision and you got your body new y'all
Cross that never lose it, oh
This going much too easy, all these women try to please me
Nothing seems to going wrong
I'm on the other side; a bare of much too lies
Now I'm with prison women, ow!
There's an object of the story, don't mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you, don't mess with the prison women
There's an object of the story, don't mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you, don't mess with the prison women
There's an object of the story, don't mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you, don't mess with the prison women
There's an object of the story, don't mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you, don't mess with the prison women
There's an object of the story, don't mess with the prison women
They can nothing less satisfy you [fade]

You made my decision
Now take hold of my hand
And I'll promise in front of the world
To be your one true man
I'll stand among my best friends
They all understand
That I'm changing for the better (yes I am)
I'm your one true man
I am your one true man
Your one true man I am
I'm gonna love you like no one man can

My life has its demands
But I want you to know that wherever I go

You get so hard to hold on to
But I won't let you go
Cus I know, I know who I am
I am your one true man
Your one true man I am
I'm gonna love you like no one man can
Your one true man I am
My whole life rides on the mood of my lady
Her ups and downs are turning my life around
She's happy today, it's like a breath of new life
But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down.
Slowly, oh slowly I can tell that she needs me
It shows right through the walls she's built around herself
Oh higher, oh higher I'm climbing in her eyes
It's a servant she wants but a man she must have.
Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone
Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun
Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun
I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave.
Oh, two lives in tune, it's a delicate balance to keep
We'll stand together but never too near
Oh, hold me close but don't you smother me
I'll speak of my love but only for you to hear.
Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone
Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun
Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun
I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave.
Recently I've been thinkin about what I am and where my priorities lie
Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what I need to get by
I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues,
it doesn't really matter to me
As long as I'm playin the music I just can't lose,
and noones gonna tell me differently
Cause all I really care about is sittin right here in my hands,
oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her I'm just goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
(repeat) yeah
(solo)
Well my momma sits and worries about me for days

My daddy tells her that I'm goin through a phase
But that's just what he always says
I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
Well I've told you my story now here's what I've found
To be happy you need only be real
So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
Just remember you are what you feel
You see all of my life people been tryin to tell me what I am, oh yeah
Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah

I remember it well, that day last spring,
When the snow lay deep on the mountain trails.
It was winter's last showin' and our last fling
Before returning to our lives in the valley.
We pretended we were lost in the wilderness,
And I pretended to be your guide.
Our love was a play and you were the actress.
We were two lonely people living out a dream.
Oh, baby meet me on the mountain
when the winter is dying
and the snow lay deep on the mountain trails.
Maybe it's the spring putting thoughts in our heads.
But baby meet me on the mountain
when the winter lays her head to rest.As the morning came, the feelings faded.
They melted away with the dew.
And if it hurt, I never felt it,
'Cause I knew that you'd be leavin' me soon.
Come on, baby meet me on the mountain
when the winter is dying
and the snow lay deep on the mountain trails.
Maybe it's the spring putting thoughts in our heads.
But baby meet me on the mountain
when the winter lays her head to rest.
";Lucky"; I call you 'cus that's the way you make me feel.
Love in the air and the wind in my hair is makin' me real.
Look out Lucky there's a mountain in front of you.
And with a little luck we'll see it thru.
What's lucky for me is lucky for you.
I used to think that luck was just another four letter word.
But now that I found you it's the finest one I've ever heard.
Do you see the stars now do you Lucky?
They're not all that far, now are they Lucky?
What's lucky for you, is lucky for me,
And what's lucky for me, is lucky for you.
Lost, lost in a dream (It's a dream)
And I think, it's some evil scheme
They say, that I don't feel, what I feel
But I know, that this ain't no game
What am I supposed to lie?
That ain't what I'm saying
You're telling me that I could be
A little insane
I tell myself to pull myself
Together again
'Cause I
Ain't been the same
I know she's sleeping with him
But it can't be true
She loves me too much
That's just something she wouldn't do
Now you may say I look the other way
You may think I'm blind
But I say don't go looking for what you don't want to find
Wouldn't I be the one that you'd come running to
Wouldn't they be my arms
I look into your eyes as you tenderly hold me
So safe and secure, oh how I wish I were
I know she's sleeping with him
But it can't be true...
I say to myself, I've given all I can
I tell myself this game must end
But in the mirror do I see a new man
Or will I look the other way again?
I know she's sleeping with him
But it can't be true...
I know it, you know it, everybody knows it
I can't look the other way
I won't look the other way again
Live it up, and let it go
Your time is up before you know
In a world full of wonder
Don't let your troubles pull you under
You're telling me your life is tough
And what you need is stronger stuff
Well you can live under sedation
Or get up and cause an overnight sensation
Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take itYou sit and watch your MTV
You dream away in a fantasy
If you don't dig the situation
Then get a guitar and rock the nation
You can't hold back once you light the fuse
And if it feels alright, then let it roll
You got nothin to lose
Woah, live it up
Life is what you make it
Woah, live it up
It's right there for you to take it
I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled
Well there she is again
Standin over by the record machine
Well she looks like a model
On the cover of a magazine
But she's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile I was thinkin
Well if she's in the mood
No need to break it
I got the chance and I oughta take it
If she can dance we can make it
C'mon queenie let's shake it
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenie
I said go, go, go, little queenieWon't someone tell me
Who's the queen standin over by the record machine
Well she looks like a model
On the cover of a magazine
But she's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen
I said go, go, go, little queenie (3x)
(solo)
Meanwhile, I was still thinkin, hmmmm,
Well if it's a slow one
We'll omit it
If it's a rocker, then we'll get it
If it's a good one, she'll admit it
C'mon queenie, let's get with it
I said go, go, go, little queenie (3x)
(solo)
I said go, go, go, little queenie (3x)
Suddenly it happened,
here we are with all this glory
We never thought for a minute,
that we were writin a story
We took our chances,
somehow we held it together
And now I feel there is justice,
I always new there was
I love the warmth of the spotlight
I need the sound of the people screamin'
Here we are to bring down the ceiling
Wanna give you a real good feelin'
Later on when it's over
We will think of you and remember
You're the ones who gave us the glory
Just want to tell you that
Chorus It's great to, to be with you
Been a long time but we love you
Don't stop, let's be-bop tonight
Do you remember the last time?
We remember the last time
Everything was cool,
we had a celebration, yeah
We had a celebration,
let's bring the feeling back again
Come on closer,
just got to tell ya that
I've played your game
And I've played it well.
I'll be another fool
To hang upon your wall.
I laid my heart out
Like an open book.
It's a simple thing and don't take much
To crack it open and bleed.
Lay me down.
Lay me down when you're through with me.
Lay me down.
Let me bleed when you're through with me.
Don't let me think you're wrong,
Just let me fall down.
I'll pick myself up again.
It's the kindest thing you can do for me,
So, woman, won't you lay me down.
I lied to myself.
Tried to believe in you.
But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew
You bring things out
Just to bring me down.
Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
Til my eyes can't see any good.
Yeah!
A man once said love is all you need
And if not right he was close indeed
It won't pay the rent
Won't buy your shoes
But it's time well spent if it keeps away the blues
It won't turn the tide or stop the rain
And deep down inside there might be a little pain
But you still go through it
Cause it gets you through the night
Cause when you get down to it love is all right
Love is all right
Love is all right
Oh, love is all rightWhen your girl walks out you just want her back
You got to have her now and that's a fact Jack
Cause as big and bad and mean as you are
You can't watch you're woman in another man's car
You wanna keep that girl in you're passenger seat
You wanna find her groove, wanna keep her beat
So if you have to do it, you're ready to fight
Cause when you get down to it love is all right
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you(solo)
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(chorus)
You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you(solo)
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
(chorus)
There just ain't no reason for the way that I feel
The way that I feel, but I'm feeling good
Lately things just ain't been going quite like they should
Quite like they should, but I still feel good
Let me explain that I witnessed the end of the world
Like someone had hurled all the weight on me
I couldn't see from my funeral walk just what I needed
Just what I needed, but I couldn't see
I spent the last few weeks with a chip on my shoulder
I thought that I was alone with my tragedy (I couldn't take it)
But if I see myself like an actor in a play,
It makes me feel better; I'm not the only one
Who doesn't get his way
Late one night on a road in Texas
I pulled into an all-night cafe
What's my pleasure? Well ma'am the fact is, I don't know
Sat down next to a ";Rajun' Cajun";
A black haired beauty from New Orleans
Did my duty can I buy you a drink dear
She said ";Please";
Bridge
(So) we rolled right along,
And the night got long
So I said how would you like it to be?
Then she sang her song
Said ";If I come along
You must find a place in your heart for me";
I was lost on a road to nowhere
And asked if she was goin' my way
She was late for a date with no one
(So) please don't leave
She'd just left a love that was dying
And had no plans of goin back
I caught her eyes as she was crying
";Let's make tracks";
Bridge Chorus
She said, ";I'll follow , I'll follow you on your dare
Your eyes say something, your heart better care
You're lost and you're lonely, I've been to long there
So I'll follow, I'll follow you...anywhere
I was with you, you were alone
Now I'm standing here
Wisdom came only after you'd gone
Now I'm starting all over, with a tear in my eye
I just never thought you'd disappear
In the night your spirit arises
With it comes the pain
I hope I'm dreaming cus it hurts so bad
When I reach out for you, I'm alone in some room
I just never thought you'd disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasn't that good enough?
I still want you, it drive me wild
The pain is just too much
Maybe I've lost enoughTime heals all, so they say, I don't know
Sometimes nothing's clear
Maybe someday I'll understand
But I know for a start
There's a place in my hear that is yours
And it won't disappear
I still love you like a child
Wasn't that good enough?
I still want you, It drives me wild
The pain is just too much
I still love you
You have said as much as you can say
Your heart is just about to overflow
Must be something more I can do
Some new plateau
I'm listening to you
Dying to know
Everything that your feeling
Every change you undergo
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because I do' wanna know
I do' wanna know how much you love me
I do' wanna know how much you care
I do' wanna, I do' wanna, I do' wanna know
I do' wanna do what I'm supposed to
I do' wanna wear what I'm supposed to wear
I do' wanna, I do' wanna, I do' wanna know You are gonna do what you must do
You are gonna go where you want to go
You are gonna hear what you hear
Fear what you fear
Don't say a word
Don't let it show
You will be what you will be
You will reap everything you sow
Just don't tell me that you love me
Because I do' wanna know
Telephone girl talkin to her mother's voice
Yet she knows these days will soon be gone
Cadillac crews take the band away tonight
Ain't it funny how the story goes
It's a dream I had playin music in my band
It's a dream I had to be happy with the woman I love
Well if dreams came true
And they definitely do
For sayin I'm a fool
Ain't it funny how the story goes
Ain't it funny how the story goes Hollywood queen lookin from her lacy tomb
It's strange to know that I can laugh at you
Flash guitar instead of an architects tool
Ain't it funny how the story goes
It's a dream I had playin music in a band
It's a dream I had to be happy with the woman I love
But if dreams came true
And they definitely do
For sayin I'm a fool
Ain't it funny how the story goes
Ain't it funny how the story goes
(solo)
(chorus)
I'm gettin' heavy on your love
Every night
Gettin' ready for your love
With all of my might
I was crazy for your love
Never stayed around you love
Aw but you make me deadly
I was lost but now I've found
Havin' you around has made me heavy,
Heavy on your love. Heavy on your love,
Old enough to wait
Got a letter full of love
And it's just about to break
Cause my love was never real
I could touch but never feel
Ah, but you make me deadly
I was lost but now I've found
Havin' you around has made me heavy,
Heavy on your love
Walking all alone in the dead end, the gypsy wants us all around, yeah
I took your fare, I paid your party
There's a hell to spent above these clowns, oh hey hey
And nobody knows where we're going too far
Something for sure or we got it booted, oh hey!
Down to the tough sweet mountain, yeah
There's a psychic woman under in Old North
Do y'all wanna set this speed off, baby?
I persuade you don't I have my fill? Oh hey hey
And nobody knows where we're going too far, yeah
Something was sure or we gotta do, oh hey!
Maybe we got no direction. Said we got no place to go, no no.
She shoved all our batch end; am I just a big wad blow? Yeah yeah
Gypsy woman's passion, said I'm not gon' let you go
What'd I say, anyway, let's get on with it!
Watch out!
Now the queens they're humping back
And we made it on our train, heading south down the tracks
She comes to me however that you'll see (?)
Our only self is a gypsy need, yeah
And nobody knows where we're going too far, yeah
Something for sure or we gotta do, oh hey! Hell, fucking great!
We got no direction. Said we got no place to go, no no.
She shoved all our batch end; am I just a big wad blow? Yeah yeah
Gypsy woman's passion, said I'm not gon' let you go
What'd I say, anyway, let's take it on home, yeah!

Babe, I'm gettin' the message it's finally comin' through
After the show I'll get a hold of you
Baby, I've got your number and I remember your name
And I've got a feelin' I know why you came
Chorus
So let's get in some good trouble tonight
Get ourselves in deep
We can stay awake and dance all night
We can always sleep
Don't let them tell you it's a mortal sin
Cus' I know it's alright
And if your mama asks you where you've been
You've been in some good trouble all night
I'll be here again next year, and there you'll be again
And I'll barely know half the places I've been
But I can almost remember, so it was almost real
I never know how I'm going to feel
Chorus
Good trouble all night
Good trouble's all right
My life is runnin like a stock car race
High speed and lots of curves
Keep the pedal to the metal, win or lose
But don't lose your nerve
Some people live in fear
If you can call that living
I'm gonna keep my ass in gear
And take the chance I'm given
I'm gonna go for broke, play to win
Do or die, just don't give in
Take a shot, roll the dice
Don't look back, just go for broke
My love is spinning like a steering wheel
Just grab it and hold on tight
Feel the power in your hands
Take me right to the edge tonight
Some people love in vain
If you can call that lovin
So let's hit the streets again
It's all or nothinChorus
Standing on the razor's edge
But I'm not going under
Every night I'm on the line
Livin like my days are numbered
Night and day, day and night
I do my best to do things right
Never meant to ever hurt nobody
And if I should in some small way
Ever rain on your parade
I will make it up to you I promise
Ever since I met that girl
There's no one else in the whole wide world
Said she'd stay and be with me forever
Mysteries have long been told
About the girl with the heart of gold
And you know I think that I have found her
Chorus Because every time she looks my way
I lose control, what can I say
She's everything I've ever been after, oh,
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
[Instrumental]

Five men were killed today,
Leaving five wives as widows.
Six men they tried to kill.
Maybe one will live to raise his son.
I've tried so hard
To tell you what went wrong.
Been fighting for so many years
For something so very wrong.
When will man ever learn
That happiness is his to be earned?
Ambush on her body, down by the dam
She wasn't afraid of anybody until, down by the dam
Criminal running from the law,
Hiding in the high grass
The lady saw death from a mescaline high
High in the high grass
And the police ain't never around
When you need them,
But the criminal's ready to pounce
If you get near him
Vigilante fires, the flames are gettin' higher
Down by the dam
Temper's gettin' hot oh there's blood for the pot,
Down by the dam
Don't you know you better watch this man,
Better look him in the eye
See if he returns your look or if he
Tries to stay a little shy
Maybe soon you'll get involved again
Better best beware
You may expose this man for what he is,
And prove he just doesn't care
And I believe in the things that I said
And the prosecution rests
But if you're gonna try and defend this man
I said you better do your doggone best
He's been consistent for quite a few years
Said he always acts the same
Check the record of the things that he's done
And you'll know the nature of his game
'Cos I'll start by working (?) while we're calling a kind of dead
Torn by the curtains of our building shows no less...aaaahh!!!
Sunny (?) had a funny hair unto this lonely room so sad and ?????
Violet eyes are staring, voices calling makes you free...aaaahh!!!
Freedom (35x)

You got that far away look in your eyes.
But are you looking at me or at some other guy
Who's got you hypnotized,
Got you mesmerized,
Keep you tranquilized with ever kind of lie.
Still he makes you cry,
So baby realize that I...
I'm gonna break his spell.
I'll put him in his place and get you out of this hell.
I'm gonna break his spell.
Take this relationship and send it straight to the well.
I'm gonna break his spell.
Baby I'm gonna break his spell.
Yes I will.
It's been a while since I've known something's wrong.
At first you had me thinking everything was gone.
I got a late start.
I let him steal your heart.
I let that fool come in and tear our world apart.
But he's not that smart.
Another love shark and I...
I'm gonna break his spell.
I'll put him in his place and get you out of this hell.
I'm gonna break his spell.
Take this relationship and send it straight to the well.
I'm gonna break his spell.
Baby I'm gonna break his spell.
Yes I will.
A grey ghost night
On an Eastern flight
Sixteen thousand miles away
I lay awake
When the morning breaks
But what can I do to get you
Back in my heart again
The towns top gun
Safe at number one
No man's will can change my life
Safe and certain
But now I'm hurtin
So what can I do to get you
Chorus Back in my heart again
Blowin through my life
Life a cold winters wind
Now in my mind I know I didn't win
I want you back in my heart again
Baby, baby
What can I say
I was wrong so I ran away
A million miles
Wont make me smile
I want you, want you, want you
All heaven broke loose
It hit me like a shot right out of the blue
All heaven broke loose
I was shaken by the power of love
Taken by the power of you
If I don't get to heaven
For the things that I've done
I guess it's all just history now
Too late to be the innocent one
I know that I've been led astray
Love has torn me apart
But each day is a victory now
Since you have given peace to my heart
Oh, I was a little bit crazy then
Wheels kept turnin around
And I kept losin ground
¡®Till you stopped me from fallin againChorus
The love that you've given me
Is a love that is true
And each time I feel like running
I come running home to you
There's a side of you, could bring on homicide
But livin' in a cell changes my view
Maybe your automobile could lose its right front wheel
It happens every day, it could be you
Look back over your shoulder, when you think you're alone, you're not
Each noise, every shadow, look out!
Chorus:
Accidents can happen, it's always in the news
Accidents can happen to you
You read it in the paper, you see it on the tube
Accidents can happen
To you
A little Haitian doll, that looks a lot like you do
A little powdered poison in your tea
Electricity, invisible to see, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. E
A malfunction, who would notice, machines and things get hot
A permanent vacation can be bought
chorus - look out!
(Solo)
Accidents can happen, accidents can happen, accidents can happen to you
chorus - accidents can happen, accidents can happen - look out!
You touched me. You took me away.
You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay.
But now I know what you were trying to say.
I can understand that I'm not the only one.
But I believe our time is gonna come.
I dream of you through every night,
But you're not risin' with me, so I don't wanna see the light.
Even if you can't come over, and I hoping that you might
'Cause when you're not here nothing's any fun.
But I believe our time is gonna come.
I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna
I believe our time is gonna come
Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar?
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
But somehow I feel they're safer where they are
Well, some people in bound infatuation
While some others spell depression as the law
Someone's mother getting no imagination
So beware then, baby, sin is at everyone's door
Don't be the man, I know with no expressions, Lord
Ain't got none at all
Pity the man I know with no expressions, Lord
Ain't got none at all
But you'll never, no you'll never see this man laughing
Come to think of it, I've never seen this man cry
But you might by sitting quietly hear him singing
By and by, he'll stop and sigh
His voice will even start to speak and he will say goodbye
Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm
Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar?
There are many things I'd love to turn you on to
Unfinished Poem
(Can’t Stop Loving You)
I can still taste the first kiss, Standing in the rain.
I remember that closeness, and want it again. And again.
Well I was nobody’s lover. And you were somebody’s girl
One Mornin’, a lonely man woke up. And found you in his world. My world.
What am I gonna do.
I can’t stop lovin’ you.
We had a last glass together. We said our last sweet goodbyes.
And my tears. Falling now from heaven.
Are no colder than mine. Than mine.
What am I gonna do.
I can’t stop lovin’ you.
Crazy but it’s true.
I just can’t stop lovin’ you.
Well I know I must learn to live
With the things I cannot change. Whoa
And see the beauty, in all I have today. This day.
Whoa, Whoa, yeah
Now this rain will stop fallin’.
In time it will slow.
Oh but I, will not have forgotten.
The parts of you I’ve known. I’ve known.
Yeah there’s fence’s need mendin’.
There’s just no place like home.
There can be, no fairy-tale endin’.
Just an unfinished poem, this poem.
What am I gonna do.
I can’t stop lovin’ you.
Crazy but it’s true.
I just can’t stop lovin’ you.
Never seen this shade of blue.
(Album: The Ballads, 1999)
"I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough
I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
[Refrain:]
Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly
Oh, don't you know it's...
[Refrain]
It's time for me to fly
Thru the window, I slip away
Into the darkness, time has come
I must use caution, summer nights are here
I'll race for the shadows, I'll make a trail
No one can follow and all I feel
Is the breeze rushin' by my face
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I like it best when I feel the heat
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I know my baby's waitin' just for me
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I like it best when I feel the heat, yeah
Creepin' thru her neighborhood
I hope nobody has seen or heard
My intentions are driven by this flame inside
I see her light on, her silhouette's in the window
She's waiting for my arrival
On this summer night
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I like it best when I feel the heat
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I know my baby's waiting just for me
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I like it best when I fell the heat, yeah
Thru her window, she slips away
I hear her heartbeat, high emotion takes us
Where we've never been before
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I like it best when I feel the heat
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
I know my baby's waiting just for me
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
Runnin' free thru the night in the street, oh yeah
Runnin' free thru the night in the street
Thru the window, thru the window
Thru the window, thru the window
Midnight on the hill I heard the thunder fill
The stillness of the night
It hit me like a slap, you're never comin' back
From the stillness of the night
It was never black or white, neither wrong or right
Like the shadow of a full moon's light
I knew we'd lost the track, when I heard the lightning crack
The stillness of the night
In the stillness of the night
That's when we'll make it right
We can stop the thunder till the light
In the stillness of the night
I know you think you hear, those voices in your ear
In the stillness of the night
But I've tried to make it clear there's nothing left to fear
Just the stillness of the night
And if you listen hard you might find the reason for your fright
Just the wind is high tonight
And the danger we must face is the anger of this race
In the stillness of the night
In the stillness of the night
That's when we'll make it right
We can stop the thunder till the light
You've got it, I want it
Surrender, don't run away
Some say I'm cold blooded
I'd say I'm just not that way
I need someone tonight
Someone to hold on to me tight
I need someone t-t-tonight
If I could convince you
If you would just say all right
I'd treat you so tender
Then leave you and never write
I need someone tonight
Someone to hold on to me tight
I need someone t-t-tonight
I need someone tonight
Someone to hold on to me tight
I need someone t-t-tonight
I need someone tonight
Someone to hold on to me tight
I had eyes but I could not see
I hurt everybody who believed in me
I had it all but I lost the key, oh
I saw the world through fogged up glasses
Like some Lothario making passes
I showed the world just what an ass is, oh
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head
Trouble in paradise, treadin' on the thinnest ice
Oh, oh, over the edge, I wouldn't listen to what anybody said
Cuttin' with a razor blade, spendin' every cent I made
Over the edge
I dreamed of standin' on my own two feet
My fists held high and I clenched my teeth
But I'd wake up to the same old me, oh
I was living a lie but you brought me truth
Afraid to cry but you taught me to
You stood beside me, now I'll stand by you, oh
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head
I wasn't foolin' anyone, playin' with a loaded gun
Oh, oh, over the edge, I wouldn't listen to what anybody said
I was numbing all the pain, you taught me how to feel again
If I had died, it would have been a shame
They'd have said, "He only had himself to blame"
You saved my life when you called my name, oh
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head
I was numbing all the pain, you showed me how to feel again
Oh, oh, over the edge, I wouldn't listen to what anybody said
When you looked me in the eyes, you finally made me recognize
Oh, oh, over the edge
Oh, oh, over the edge
Oh, oh, over the edge
You may not know this
But you are everything you've ever needed
Heaven with a touch of New York
Silver with a touch of gold
And I can see where you're goin'
But I don't really know the way
It's got too many changes, too much rearranging
Too many ways to go astray
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
You walk on a wire, make a game of desire
Pitchin' pennies down a wishing well
You're leading the blind through there high and low times
But baby can you lead yourself?
So calm down, honey, forget about the money
If you need me I'll always be there
Go ride your high horse alone of course
'Cause if you need me I'll always care
But if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, yes we will
So if you wanna go, let me go along
I never walked that road alone
I've heard it was hard, I've heard it was long
But we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
Oh we'll come back alive, 'cause only the strong survive
Cool as the water melting from the winter snows
You are the island I've been looking for
I don't know where you come from but I can feel you comin' on
You're a storm inside my soul that's ragin' out of control
Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on, won't ya come on?
Lightning you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
I saw you in your evening gown, you were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightning, you're mine tonight
Oh, lightning you're mine tonight
Crack the horizon, only you can split the night
Then comes your mother cloud to take you away
Another wind will dry me and the sun will make me warm
But to me my life will always be the calm before the storm
Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on, won't ya come on?
Lightning you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
I saw you in your evening gown, you were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightning, you're mine tonight
Oh, lightning you're mine tonight
Call the wind out, call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on, oh come on
Lightning you're mine, tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin', restin' from a heavy run
Well I saw you in your evening gown, you were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings, lightning, you're mine tonight
Love is all right
Love is all right
Oh, love is all right
A man once said love is all you need
And if not right he was close indeed
It wont pay the rent, wont buy your shoes
But its time well spent if it keeps away the blues
It wont turn the tide or stop the rain
And deep down inside there might be a little pain
But you still go through it
'Cause it gets you through the night
And when you get down to it, love is all right
Love is all right
Love is all right
Oh, love is all right
When your girl walks out, you just want her back
You got to have her now and that's a fact, Jack
'Cause as big and bad and mean as you are
You can't watch you're woman in another mans car
You wanna keep that girl in your passenger seat
You wanna find her groove, wanna keep her beat
So if you have to do it, you're ready to fight
'Cause when you get down to it, love is all right
Love is all right
Love is all right
(Ooh, now love is all right)
Oh, love is all right
Love is all right
(Oh, love is all right)
Love is all right
(Ooh, now love is all right)
Oh, love is all right
[Incomprehensible]
Love is all right
(Ooh, love is all right)
Love is all right
(Now love is all right)
Oh, love is all right
Love is all right
Love is all right
(Ooh, la la la la love)
Oh, love is all right
Love is all right
(My love is all right)
Love is all right

Oh, love is all right
Love is all right

You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin' missin'
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead but you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin'
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
'Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on lovin' you
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever
And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on lovin' you
Baby, I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
'Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep, I just wanna keep on lovin' you
Keep on lovin' you, baby
I used to be lonely
till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself
a little bit better
Whoa, I keep pushin' on
Keep pushin' on, yeah
Goin through all the changes
I made so many mistakes
oh yes I did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think
I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin' on
(chorus)
Keep pushin', keep pushin', keep pushin', keep pushin' on
Keep pushin', keep pushin', you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin', keep pushin', well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin' on
(instrumental)
Well it's comin' together
I finally feel like a man
oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am
Oh everyday I wake a little bit higher
Whoa I keep pushin' on, oh yeah

Say goodbye, look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say goodbye, hold your head high
Wherever you're goin' it's alright
Things must change
You know they always do get re-arranged
No reflection on you
Just face the danger and follow it through
And the change is gonna be for the best
Well, I know how crazy it feels when you go
Go out shufflin' your heels
So take it slow and make only good deals
You're a young man and it's time to go west, ooh yes
You say goodbye, you look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
You say goodbye, you hold your head high
Wherever you're goin' it's alright
Take a chance, go on make your move
Nothin' fancy, you got nothin' to prove
Just make a stance, you know we're countin' on you
You are the one with the vision
So move out, move ahead of the fear
Have no doubt in your mind
There's a very clear out and someone must steer
It is you who must make the decision, ooh yeah
Say goodbye, look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say goodbye, hold your head high
Wherever you're goin' it's alright
Say goodbye, look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say goodbye, hold your head high
Wherever you're goin' it's alright
Say goodbye, look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say goodbye, hold your head high
Wherever you're goin' it's alright
Say goodbye, look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say goodbye, hold your head high
You tell me what you think I'm feelin'
You know why I do what I do
Why should you listen to a word I'm sayin'
When it's already so clear to you
You tell me 'bout my bad intentions
You doubt the very things I hold true
I can no longer live with your misconceptions
Baby all I can say to you, is
That ain't love
I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love
at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love
well baby that ain't love to me
We've got to talk it over sometime
These feelings won't just disappear
I'm just gonna keep telling you what's on my mind
Even if it's not what you wanna hear
Ooooh right now your world and mine
are such different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like I'm speaking in a different language
And the only words I haven't used
Are that ain't love
I believe you've got the wrong emotion
That ain't love
at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love
well baby that ain't love to me
You keep tellin' me
You know a place where
your life would be better
You're makin' plans long-range
But I don't know how you expect to get there
When you refuse to change - yeah
(instrumental)
Oooh baby - that ain't love
I believe you've got the wrong emotion
No baby, that ain't love
at least it doesn't feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think that's love
well baby that ain't love to me
Oooh baby that ain't love
Love love love love love love love
That ain't love, ooh no
Baby that ain't love,
That ain't love
That ain't love
Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm.
The world will keep on turnin' -
Let it turn you on.
Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long.
You've been changing so much
I'm not sure you're in touch with what's real.
You just come and you go
Never letting me know how you feel.
And I'm livin' here in doubt
There's so much to talk about
I know that we can work it out.
We can - keep the fire burnin'
. . .
We've been thru this enough
It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
This is where we belong.
We are stronq we can never give up
Or we wanted to we could
But we've always understood
To keep knockin' for the good.
keep the fire burnin'
. . .
Keep the fire burin'
Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boyfriend, you're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe, that I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind
You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it, not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

Well, I've seen women who cross their legs
before they sit down to the table.
And I've seen women who look to the sky
screamin' "lord, I believe in the bible."
And I've seen hookers dancin' through
Times Square with their heads held up so high.
But I've never seen a woman
who makes me feel, woah, like you do.
Well, I've seen couples holdin' hands
with that glazy look in their eyes.
And I've seen lovers rollin' round in bed
screamin' as if they're gonna die.
And I've seen lovers holdin' hands
and then laughin' when their backs is turned.
But I've never seen a woman
who makes me feel, woah, like you do.
Well, I've seen women who cross their legs

But I've neves seen a woman
who makes me feel...
I said I've never seen a woman
(In your letter, ooh in your letter)

(In your letter, ooh in your letter)
(In your letter, ooh in your letter)
In your letter you
said you didn't love me
You said you're gonna leave me
but you could've said it better
Oh oh, in your letter
you said you couldn't face me
You said you could replace me
but you could've said it better
You could've left him only
for an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind your
poison pen and his pride
You could've told him something
and proved to me you don't love him
But you hid behind your
future full of lies
Oh oh, in your letter

I know a place,
where you can go,
when you're flyin' high,
or layin' low,
& I've got the time,
I got plenty to spare,
Yes, I've got the time,
& I've got the place,
I just wish you were there
I've got the will,
to have you around,
whether you're up,
or whether you're down,
& I know the way,
to make you shine,
I've got the will,
& I've got the way,
I wish you were mine
I know a place,
where you can go,
when you're flyin' high,
or layin' low,
& I've got the time, (I've got the time!)
I've got plenty to spare,
I've got the time,
& I've got the place,
I wish you were there (wish you were there!)
Oh, I've got the time,
& I've got the place,
I wish you were there
I wish you were there,
I wish you were there,
So close to giving up
Never been before so broken
Can I hold on long enough
Are there words yet left unspoken
Can I rise above this burning sea
Or am I human after all
Maybe I’m just higher than a man should be
Maybe I needed to fall
I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to grow, to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you, with you
So tired of living up
To an image laid upon me
Can I ever be enough
It all seems so far beyond me
And I take this weight upon my shoulders
While I appear to stand so tall
Thinking I could carry the world forever
Maybe I needed to fall
I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to grow, to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall
There is just so much a man can bear
Til he starts to find it hard to care
And baby I am almost there
I needed to fall and come back stronger
I needed to grow, to find my way
And I pray we can look back on it all
Knowing that I needed to fall in love with you, with you
Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you’ve been messing around
They say you’ve got a boyfriend, you’re out late every weekend
They’re talking about you and it’s bringing me down
Well I know that neighbourhood
The talk is cheap but when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe, that I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it, not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run
You’re thinking of your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight, keep running
And you need never look back again
You take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it, not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run
Take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it, not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run
Take it on the run, baby
If that’s the way you want it, baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it, not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run
Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend who
How did we end up ending up this way
I always thought that we could work it out
At times I wondered if we’d last out the day
But my love was always stronger, stronger than my doubt
And we are, are we running out of time
We’ve come so far to leave it all behind
But that’s how I feel
I wanna know how you feel
Oh, I’d walk all night for you, baby
Stand in the pouring rain
But you gotta meet me, baby, half way, yeah
You know that I don’t wanna give up
I’d do anything to make you stay
But you gotta meet me, baby, half way
I couldn’t tell you what you meant to me
I kept those feelings hidden far away
And hoped that you could tell by looking at me
Now I know what you needed, is it too late to say
That I love you more than I ever knew I could
And I need you now like I never thought I would
Oh, I’d walk all night for you, baby
I’d stand in the pouring rain
But you gotta meet me, baby, half way, yeah
You know that I don’t wanna give up
I’d do anything to make you stay
But you gotta meet me, baby, half way
You gotta meet me half way
I’ve thought about living my life without you
In this cold, cold world
But I’m no man of steel, but I’d walk on fire for you
That’s just how I feel, yes it is
Oh, I’d walk all night for you, baby
Stand in the pouring rain
But you gotta meet me, baby, half way, yes you do
You know that I don’t wanna give up
I’d do anything to make you stay
But you gotta meet me, baby, half way
You gotta meet me half way
I’m standing in the pouring rain, baby
You gotta meet me half way
You know I’d walk all night, oh yeah
You gotta meet me half way
You gotta meet me half way
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You gotta meet me half way
You gotta meet me half way
Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
And never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn
And the time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
And before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah
Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
And never really carin' just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn, yeah
Oh the time has come for you my friend
And to all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
And before we leave we must make a stand
I saw you at midnight in a dream that I had
From nowhere you stood there and you seemed so sad
And a vicious decision is drivin' me mad
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
You were different, indifferent, unbelievably cool
I approached you to show you that I'm nobody's fool
And an error caused terror as I sensed your dare
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
You've got the lead, baby, I've got a start
Should I follow my head? Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head or my heart?
Ooh, I saw you at midnight in a dream that I had
From nowhere you stood there and you looked so sad
And a vicious decision is drivin' me mad
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
You've got the lead, baby, I've got a start
Should I follow my head? Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head or my heart?
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
Ooh, should I follow my head or follow my heart?
Should I follow my heart?
Ooh, should I follow my head or follow my heart?
You've got the lead, baby, I've got a start
Should I follow my head? Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head or my heart?
Should I follow my head or follow my heart?
You've got the lead, baby, I've got a start
Should I follow my head? Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head or my heart?
Every now and then when the lights are low
Every now and then when the wind does blow
Every now and then, I think of you.
Every now and then when a girl walks by
And holds her head like you held yours high
Every now and then, I think of you.
And once in awhile when the sun sets right
And the full moon glides like a diamond in the night
Every now and then, I think of you.
And I remember you and I
in a soft golden light.
Nothing like here and tonight.
I won't hear about anyones life
but our own.
And all that I have is hope.
Baby you never know.
Every now and then when a friend says hi
And asks about us. I just wanna die.
Every now and then, I think of you.
I wanna say everything's just fine.
But only a fool would believe that line.
Every now and then, I think of you.
Well, I remember you and I
in a soft golden light.
Nothing like here and tonight.
I won't hear about anyones life
but our own.
And all that I have is hope.
South of the border and busted
Caught by a woman I trusted
Now don't you call me a fool
It could have happened to you
It's just my luck, it had to happen to me
Sweet Carmelita betrayed me
She said, "Take me home, serenade me"
I figured a song could do me no wrong
I didn't know how wrong I could be
Easy money
For just one run to Peru
It'll be so easy
We'll have no trouble gettin' through
Well, I almost made it
Except for that one border guard
He opened up my guitar, hello prison yard
Goodbye easy money, easy money
The Chiquita must have told 'em my story
'Cause when my eyes finally focused next morning
Carmelita had spoken 'bout guitars and some coke
Then she laughed as they slapped me in chains
I was thrown in cell with a killer
A convict who coughed through the night
While I laid awake with the chills and the shakes
Hoping for a file in a cake
Easy money
For just one run to Peru
It'll be so easy
We'll have no trouble gettin' through
Well, I almost made it
Except for that one border guard
He opened up my guitar, hello prison yard
Goodbye easy money, easy money
Easy money
For just one run to Peru
It'll be so easy
We'll have no trouble gettin' through
Well, I almost made it
Except for that one border guard
He opened up my guitar, hello prison yard
[Incomprehensible] my guitar
So you figure that you've got him all figured out.
He's a sweet talkin' stud;
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout.
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about.
He's got plenty of cash
he's got plenty of friends.
He drives woman wild
then he drives off in a Mercedes Benz.
He's got a long wick
with a flame at both ends.
- He's hot. -
But don't let him go - just give him a chance to grow.
Take it easy
take it slow and don't let him go.
He makes you so angry
he makes you so sore.
The weight may be worth it
but how can you wait anymore?
When you're wondering what you're waiting for.
- Baby
I don't know. -
But don't let him go - just give him a chance to grow. . . .
But don't let him go - just give him a chance to grow. . . .
But don't let him go. He just needs a chance to grow. . . .
Don't let him go
don't let him go
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship
Has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
'Cause you take me to the places
That alone I'd never find
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the wind
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
Another day in the city
Another dancer to the music
But lately, all the music sounds so strange
Well some songs have no meaning
And some songs try to hard
Tryin' to say it all and end up sayin' nothin'
Well maybe the words ring true
What's right for them maybe wrong for you
So come out of the jungle
Of another man's dreams
And if you come to a clearing
As lonely as it seems
It's never too late to breakaway to breakaway
Another day lost in livin'
And another same old beginning
And knowing where and why we went wrong
Someone says I've changed
And someone says that I've remained in the same place
For maybe just a little too long
Well maybe the words ring true
What's right for them maybe wrong for you
So come out of the jungle
Of another man's dreams
And if you come to a clearing
As lonely as it seems
It's never too late to breakaway
It's never too late to breakaway
Maybe the words ring true
What's right for them maybe wrong for you
So come out of the jungle
Of another man's dreams
And if you come to a clearing
As lonely as it seems
It's never too late to breakaway oh no
It's never too late to breakaway
Sooner or later you will find a way,
To feel like sunshine even on a cloudy day.
To feel like morning in the dead of night.
Sooner or later it's gonna be alright.
Now don't go thinking your life's a mess.
Rather start thinking in terms of happiness.
And it's gonna happen,
Just decide where you're goin'
Get out in the open
And start blazing your own trail again.
It takes times sometimes to figure out
That there's nothing to worry about.
And that there's plenty to be thankful for.
It takes time sometimes to know the score.
See everybodys got a smile inside.
So put it upon your face and wear it with pride.
And it's gonna happen.
Just decide where you're goin'
Get out in the open.
Please don't hate me mama
for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together
are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me
I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better
if I told you now goodbye
(chorus)
I'm back on the road again
it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time
that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby
and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again
I'm on my way
Well I've loved you since the day I met you
and I'll love you till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin
and we both know the reason why
That I've got to leave ya mama
and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time
that I come through your town to play
(chorus)
ooh, bye-bye baby
(instrumental)
We flew into town on Sunday
Had to find a place by Monday
Tried Bridgeport and Westport
'Til we found a place that we thought would do
157 Riverside Avenue
Saugatuck River's flowin'
Mother nature's colors were showin'
So cold, so rainy, we couldn't help feelin' blue
Not enough time, too many things to do
So we just sat back and played some
Well we met a young girl on Main Street
Wanted to pass her by
She was homely, and we were lonely
She said, "Can I make love to you?"
I said, "157 Riverside Avenue"
And see she talk like a guitar, she said
Oh a fast talkin' woman
It's over, Miss Lena, we're leaving
Such a pleasant stay, I must say
So nice, so easy
We hate to say goodbye to you
