Misery likes company
I like the way that sounds
I've been trying to find the meaning
So I can write it down
Starin' out the window
It's such a long way down
I'd like to jump
But I'm afraid to hit the ground
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
And I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, since you went away
I sing this song to you, wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
I'm tired of watching TV
It makes me want to scream
Outside the world is burning
Man it's so hard to believe
Each day you know you're dying
From the cradle to the grave
I get so numb sometimes
That I just feel the pain
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope, I've got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange, it's strange enough these days
I send this song to you, whoever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
Staring at the paper
(Staring at the paper)
I don't know what to write
(I don't know what to write)
I'll have my last cigarette, well
(I'll have my last cigarette)
(Turn out the lights)
Maybe tomorrow
(Maybe tomorrow)
I'll feel it differently
(I'll feel it differently)
But here in my delusion
(Here in my delusion)
I don't know what to say
(What to say)
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
And I can't sing no song of hope, I got nothing to say
I can't fight the feelings that are buried in my brains
I send this song to you, everyone
As my guitar lies bleeding
I can't write a love song the way I feel today
And I can't sing no song of hope, there's no one left to save
And I can't fight the feelings buried in my brains
I send this song to you, everyone
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
What you gonna say about me that I ain't already thought
What you gonna try and sell me that I ain't already bought
You wrap yourself up in my colors, ain't I the one you love to hate
You reel me in just to run me over, I bend but I don't break
Hey, hey
I'm my father's son, I'm a son of a gun
I won't back down
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I got my feet on the ground
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I ain't givin' in, figure it out
I'm wild and I'm free, I'm stubborn and proud
I'm raisin' these hands, gonna shout out loud
I'm still standin'
You know me, my hands are dirty; I ain't here to pound my chest
You'd just as soon kill as kiss me, do your worst, bring out my best
I ain't gonna fade for no one, I ain't gonna give an inch
I push when the wind is blowin'
Hey, hey
I'm a song of a bitch, don't take no shit
I won't back down
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I got my feet on the ground
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I ain't givin' in, figure it out
I'm wild and I'm free, I'm stubborn and I'm proud
I'm raisin' these hands, gonna shout out loud
I'm still standing
- Solo
I wont' back down
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I got my feet on the ground
I'm still standin', I'm still standin'
I ain't givin' in, figure it out
I'm wild and I'm free, I'm stubborn and I'm proud
I'm raisin' these hands, gonna shout out loud
Won't push me around
Just look at me now
I'm still standing
In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
Chorus:
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
Chorus
This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me.
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
But baby I knew she would...
Chorus
In the heat of the street of the city
A young boy hides the pain
And he walks so tall, trying to hang on
But he knows he's going down again
I know he's going down...
Darkness fades he's the prince of his city
In a place where they all know your name
You can see in their eyes life so paralyzed.
Your just a pawn in a losin' game
You lose at life it ain't no game
Hear their cries
The hardest part is the night
(In the night, hear their cries, in the night)
Stay alive
The hardest part is the night, it's the night, it's the night...
All alone in a place where the lonely
They all have to walk through the rain
And they dance on the edge where you only
Only pray that it has to end
That the night ain't no friend
These four walls they could tell you some stories
About lying and dying and fame
There's a price that you pay for the glory
Tonight the moon is pretty as a brand new rose
And the nosey stars seem to know
Where everybody goes
As poets reach for words
With broken motel pens
Here's something to hold on to till I come home again
Here the days don't have names they got numbers
And the nights just seems to dance into each other
Sacred lovers are like fire flies each one has a spark
Trying to fill the whole where once there was a heart
I'm sending Postcards from the Wasteland
Following my headlights don't the highway in the dark
I'm sending Postcards from the Wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Now before the summer sun gets chased away
And all of our tomorrows turn into yesterdays
I'm gonna build you that castle
I'm gonna write you that song
I gotta find the words to say
Until I've got you in my arms
I'm sending you Postcards from the Wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending Postcards from the Wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Tonight I'll meet you in my dreams
See you soon.
Love, me
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
and there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon outon some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
if you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
to some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days,
I just miss you - It's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back,
For me, that's one thing I know that won't change
It's hard, so hard - It's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
and we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips,
when I bet all that I had on you
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go
Bon Jovi
Destination Anywhere
Janie, Don't You Take Your Love To Town
Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be
In some Technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think
You couldn't live life without me
I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry
It's just because the words got in the way
I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drank enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much I've let you down
Janie don't you take your love to town
Chorus:
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie don't you take your love to town
You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul through flesh and bone
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather
But it's left me feeling cold
Now all you want to do is take me home
I hated you, the night you said you loved me
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself
I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me
I got one foot in and one foot off the ground
Chorus:
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie don't you take your love to town
Sitting here while you're fast asleep
In a bathroom by the sink
Trying to write the right words down
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight
What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now
Janie don't you take your love to town
Chorus:
Janie don't you take your love to town
Janie don't you take your love to town
If I've got to beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie don't you take your love to town
What time is it baby, is it that time again
When snow will be falling, friends will be calling
You know it's time when, there'll be carolers singing Silent Night
I love when they sing, the feeling it brings
It's warm as a fire is bright
Soon there'll be toys for good girls and boys
And reindeer are heading our way
Yes, and Santa will come down the chimney above
There's one thing I wanted to say
I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do
I saw a child sit with old Mr. Clause,
Looked him in the eye and he asked old Santa what peace on earth was
Now the old man grew cautious, on how he would say
That it's the greatest gift what you could give, every day
I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do
Now the mistle-toes and the house of Lords
All the world seems at ease tonight
And all that I ask when these precious moments pass
Is why can't every day be so bright
I wish every day could be like Christmas
And if I could have one wish come true
I wish every day could be, full of peace and harmony
I wish every day could be like Christmas, I do
Honest I do, yes I do now
Very merry Christmas
As performed on 10 Feb 2000 webcastSame old sites and the same old soundGonna take my car and drive out of this two story townThe same old shit is going aroundI'm going down, down, down, down, downIn a two story town
I couldn't sleep, took a walk down 2nd AvenueSick of dreaming the dreams that never come trueOn a one way street, I know where it's leading to
There's a For Sale sign on the front door of the City HallSome wait in line like graffiti crawling off the wallI could take the hit but I ain't gonna take the fall
Oh, it's one side of the storyOh, two story townIt's just the same old sitesIt's the same old soundI'm gonna take my car and drive out of this two story townSame old shit is going aroundI'm going down, down, down, down, downIn a two story town
Album: CrushIt's My Life
This ain't a song for the broken heartedA silent prayer for faith departedAnd I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowdYou're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

I ain't going to live foreverI just want to live while I'm alive
It's my life
My heart is like an open highwayLike Frank, he said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm aliveIt's my life

I feel I'm burning up with fever
The fire's feeling really good tonight
But it's all right
Cuz I'm gonna see Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally
Somebody tells me even Tommy's coming down
tonight, If Gina says it's all right
I'm gonna see those senoritas lying under the sun
Yeah they're greasing it up with their stereos on
You know I want to be their blanket, gonna tell every girl
Hey baby you're the one
(chorus)
Whoa, tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket,
and you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade.
When the sun goes down, that's when the street heats up
Senorita, margarita, fills your empty cup tonight
She makes me feel so right
A good time here doesn't cost much money
Just a little sweet talking, let the pretties in the party
And you're set for life
Or one hell of a night
I can see those sons of beaches
with the surf and the sand and they're living it up
Yu know life ain't so tough
So get me in the action
Gotta tell every girl she's the one
(repeat chorus)
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
(I can almost taste it!)
99,...99,..99,...
99 in the shade,....
99,,,99,.....
99 in the,...whoa!!
(repeat chorus)
sub: I got the radio CRANKED in my old man's Chevrolet
Alarm clock rings at 6:45
Must have hit that snooze button at least 3 times
I'm wishing this morning was still last night
On any other day, I just might wanna die
Traffic's backed up 20 miles to the east
Must have hit every damn red light on the street
Weatherman says it's gonna rain for a week
Hey, what can you do?
On any other day, I feel blue eyes cryin'
I could tell the world that at least I'm tryin'
The cloud is breakin', the sun is shinin' new
For me and you
On any other day, I might just go crazy
The way to going, to gonna save me
Baby, luck and love will put us through
On any other day, I might just stay in bed
Sit down in a silk blankets, pull 'em up over my head
Catch the papers in the morning, just to get a little edge
To me, they just get up and down and to do it all again
Hey, I like where this is going
Yeah, 'cause I know where it's been
On any other day, I feel blue eyes cryin'
I could tell the world that at least I'm tryin'
The cloud is breakin', the sun is shinin' new
For me and you
On any other day, I might just go crazy
The way to going, to gonna save me
Baby, luck and love will put us through
On any other day, yeah, yeah
Alarm clock rings, it's 6:45
I like waking up with you on my mind
Now you're savin' me one more time
On any other day, I feel blue eyes cryin'
I could tell the world that at least I'm tryin'
The cloud is breakin', the sun is shinin' new
For me and you
On any other day, I might just go crazy
The way to going, to gonna save me
Baby, luck and love will put us through
On any other day, yeah, yeah, whoa
Any other day
On any other day, I feel blue eyes cryin'
I could tell the world that at least I'm tryin'
The cloud is breakin', the sun is shinin' new
Yesterdays a memory
Another page in history
You sell yourself on hopes and dreams
That leaves you feeling sideways.
Tripping over my own feet
Trying to walk to my own beat
Another car out on the street trying to find the Highway
Yeah, Are you going my way?
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but grey
I know that no I'm not alright, but I feel ok cos
Anything can, everything can happen
That's the story of my life
I gonna write the melody
That's gonna make history,
And when I paint my masterpiece I swear I'll show you first
There just ain't a way to see who and why or what will be
Till now is then
It's a mystery, it's a blessing and a curse
Or something worse
This is the story of my life
And I write it everyday,
Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killin' time
Tryin' to solve life's mysteries
How's your life? It's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reachin' for your keys
Lookin' for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory?
I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringin' I don't wanna ask
If you go now, I'll understand
If you stay, hey, I got a plan
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?
If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
We should be
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?
How you spend your minutes are what matters
All tomorrows come from yesterday's
When you're feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered
Blew out the candles on the cake like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then lifes worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
I Am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand
I Am
We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
And I aint got no halo hanging over my head
I aint gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I Am
I had a roof overhead
Had shoes on my feet
Sure I was fed, but no-one was there
When I was in need, yeah
So who am I now?
Who do you want me to be?
I can forgive you, but I won't relive you
I aint the same scared kid I used to be
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I aint gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I found a picture
Our so-called family tree, yeah
I broke all the branches, looking for answers
Don't you know that aint how it's supposed to be
I'm gonna live
I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give
I'm ready to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I wanna be loved
I wanna be
I aint gonna cry
I dont wanna scream
But i got so much left unsaid inside of me
I just wanna be loved
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
Take a look around, this is what I see
Is there anybody else that feels like me?
You sweat, you sweat
You bleed, you bleed
What you get aint what you see
Up is down and black is white to me
I'm complicated
I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated
Can't sudate it
I heard that song, but i won't play it
It's alright
It's okay
You wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying, cause I aint changing
I'm complicated
Complicated, Yeah
I'm smart enough to know what I don't know
I'm fool enough to stay when I should go
You work, you work
You cry, you cry
You watch your whole life pass you by
Sometimes you gotta close your eyes to see
Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
Just want somebody out there just like me
Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
A friend of a friend needs a favor
No questions asked, there's not much more to say
Me and the wife, we need the money
We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'
Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye
And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
In a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life
We'll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, we'll stop at lookers on the way back
Hell, we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
We'll make the grade, they'll know our names, I need a friend to drive here
Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
I'll take that suitcase, get the cash and we'll be gone before you know
Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...
A friend of a friend needed a favor
Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans
We never saw nothing, there was a run-in
.9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cop said, "Show your hands!"
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
Should I Could I
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine
You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
I'm wasting time when I think about it
[Chorus:]
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Could I Should I
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again
You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it
[Chorus:]
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good
[Guitar Solo]
It's you and I, just think about it...
[Chorus:]
I should have drove all night
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good.
This world don't give you nothing it can't take away
Everybody holding on to something
Nobody wants to fade away
No forgiveness on the streets of this town
I left my patience at a traffic light
There's no denying that I almost lost it
Threw in the towel, too tired to fight
Tonight I need you
More than yesterday
Tonight I need you
[Chorus:]
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
These days I'd trade sight for feeling
There are days my feeling's gone
Can't figure out whose life I'm living
I don't know right from wrong
When I lost my faith
You found it and gave it back to me
There's a new light on your halo; it took blind eyes to see
That I need you
More than yesterday
Yeah, I need you
[Chorus:]
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus:]
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
Love me back to life
Love me back to life
Love me back to life
I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose
Thought I had a lot to proof
In my life, there's no denying
Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way
I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday
Strange, everybody's feeling strange
Never gonna be the same
Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
Life, learning how to live my life
Learning how to pick my fights
Take my shots while I'm still burning
Goodbye to all those rainy nights
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on
I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday
There ain't nothing gonna get in my way
Everyday
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on
I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky
And I spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
I'm gonna live my life everyday
I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna live my life everyday
I (gonna touch the sky), oh I (spread these wings and fly), oh I
I'm gonna live my life everyday
She won't let me buy her jewelry
She don't want things that she can keep
She wears wildflowers in her hair
Then throws them in the sea
She's the beginning and the end of me
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
I still don't know what to call her
She says that words don't mean a thing
She changes her name every day
And lies all the time
I feel lucky to call her mine
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
I will never understand her
She's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's anything in the world
That you cannot explain
But when she throws me a smile
It's fire in the rain
She's a mystery
My most beautiful regret
'Cause she's a mystery
The only promise I can keep
Even in my dreams she ruins me
She's a mystery
There's no defense
It's innocence
But she won't let you see
If you need a little lovin', ya call on me
And if you want a little huggin', ya call on me baby, ooh yeah,
You can call me right here at home
All you got to do is pick up the telephone

Oh, I'll be right there

And if ya need a little lovin', ya call on me, lord have mercy
And if ya want a little kissin', ya call up Jonny B. Baby, it's all right
Ain't no more lonely nights, we'll be alone now
All you got to do is pick up the telephone

Anytime, anywhere, come on baby (634-5789)
Oooh hooo (634-5789)
(634-5789)
Well I wake up this morning I rolled out of bed
I felt like a dog who's been kicked in the head
Checked out my mail there was letter that read
Love for sale, love for sale
I picked up the phone I called everyone I could
I let my fingers do the walking through the telephone book
You can't catch a fish if you ain't got the hook
Love for sale, love for sale
Send up a signal throw me a line
Somebody explain " this funny Valentine"
It might not be legal but it sure ain't a crime
I'm one step from crazy and two steps behind
I called Lt. Columbo from my TV set
I've tried the Dating Game I haven't found her yet
I'm hoping that she's looking like a Penthouse Pet
Love for sale, love for sale
We've been living together 3 years,
2 hours, 20 minutes maybe four houndred beers
You can't shop for love when you're shopping at, Sears
Love for sale, love for sale
I guess I've learnt my lesson it was easy to see
My old lady she played this joke on me
I never looked where I forgot it would be
Looking like a train wreck
Sipping on her long neck
This ain't no model-actress
She's attitude and accent (alright)
Angel flying solo
Must have gone and sold your halo
She's accidental innocence
And white trash elegance (alright)
She's all mixed up
Lays in bed 'til 3
All messed up
She's eccentricity
Chorus:
Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me
Erotica
Every school boy's fantasy
Not your ordinary woman
But she's extraordinary to me
She got a daily new addiction
A walking contradiction
Chain smoking cigarettes
Talking to her silhouette (alright)
All mixed up
A little out of time
All messed up
But she don't really mind
Chorus:
Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me
Erotica
Every school boy's fantasy
She's not your ordinary woman
But she's extraordinary to me
Alright (no Jane or Gloria)
Alright (she's schizophoria)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And when I call her I got to call her
And when I call her I call her
Solo
Chorus:
Neurotica
Lay your love all over me
Come on, baby, go a little crazy on me
Erotica
Every school boy's fantasy
Not your ordinary woman
But she's extraordinary to me
Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through
I'll believe
When you don't believe in anything
Chorus:
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I, when I think that I'm losing my mind
It all comes back to you
And you, you know that it's true
After all we've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Stand by me
And I would gladly give up everything
Chorus
Chorus
Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
First time I heard the music
I thought it was my own
I could feel it in my heartbeat
I could feel it in my bones
My momma thinks I'm crazy
My dad says I'm insane
I got this boogie woogie fever
That's burning in my veins
They tried to take me to a doctor
But it's too late for me
Then they took me to a preacher
That they saw on their TV
Who said that for a small donation
My lost soul would be saved
I said I don't think so preacher
I'll come back another day
All I want, is to be a Rolling Stone
They don't understand what we all know
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll
My teachers didn't like me they always
Tried to put me down
'Cause I wore my hair too long
I played my music way too loud
Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar
So he can pick up all the chicks
And be a rock-n-roll star
They said it won't last, but they misunderstood
If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll
Blame it on the love, blame it on the love
Dad don't understand what the little girls know
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll
All I wanted, all I ever needed
My guitar gave to me
Every song I've sung blame it on love
Every war I've won blame it on love
Everything I've done blame it on love
Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll
It feels so good that it ought to be illegal
I got my vaccination from a phonograph needle
I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old
Blame it on the love of rock & roll
Blame it on the love, blame it on the love
Dad don't understand
what the little girls know
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a Styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody's got their cross to bare, these days
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna be's
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
These days the stars seem out of reach
These days there ain't a ladder on the streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy, he said "Momma, I've got to try
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess, I'd rather die than fa-fa-fade away, yeah"
These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah
But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, love don't lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world kept turning round and round and round and round
These days
These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah
But these days there ain't a ladder on these streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, love don't lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah
These days there ain't a ladder on these streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
Oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, these days
There ain't nobody left but us these days
If there's something that needs fixing
I'm the man to see
Look me up, I'm listed
Just check under B
If you're ever on the spot
Well, I'm good with my hands
24-7 I'm your handyman
Odd jobs, hard jobs, anything under the sun
Big jobs, small jobs, baby
I'd be a rich man, it's true
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
These two hands know what to do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I could make a living out of lovin' you
Until the work is finished
Well, I don't get paid
I don't mind getting dirty
That's my middle name
I'm in the service business
So I understand
Call me 24-7, I'm your handyman
Odd jobs, hard jobs, anything under the sun
Big jobs, small jobs, baby
I'd be a rich man, it's true
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
These two hands know what to do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
Tough jobs, rough jobs, say where and when
I'll leave you my card, call when you need me again
Odd jobs, hard jobs, baby
I'd be a rich man, it's true
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
These two hands know what to do
If I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'd be a rich man, it's true
I could make a living out of lovin' you
I'm a rich man
I can make a living out of lovin' you
I can make a living out of lovin' you
I lost all faith in my God, in his religion too
I told the angels they could sing their songs to someone new
I lost all trust in my friends, I watched my heart turn to stone
I thought that I was left to walk this wicked world alone
Tonight I'll dust myself off
Tonight I'll suck my gut in
I'll face the night and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in
And I had lost touch with reason
I watched life criticize the truth
I've been waiting for a miracle
I know you have too
Though I know I won't win
I'll take this one on the chin
We'll raise a toast and I'll pretend
I got something to believe in
And I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe The Pope?
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope?
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin?
The world that gives you nothing, I need something to believe in
Something to believe in, something to believe in
I don't believe in Jesus, how can I believe The Pope?
If I don't believe in heroin, how can I believe in dope?
If there's nothing but survival, how can I believe in sin?
The world that gives you nothing, I need something to believe in
Something to believe in, to believe in
Even John F. Kennedy, to Robert Kennedy
For Martin Luther King, for all those who believe
Say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey"
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Diamond ring wear it on your hand
It's gonna tell the world I'm your only man
Diamond ring, diamond ring
Baby you're my everything diamond ring
Red red rose brought it home to you
Blood red rose tells me that you're true
Red red rose, blood red rose
Like a fire inside that grows blood-red rose
When you're hungry I will fill you up
When you're thirsty drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying I'll be the tears for you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
Mmm ooh
When you're hungry I will fill you up
When you're thirsty drink out of my loving cup
When you're crying I'll be the tears for you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
You know I bleed every night you sleep
'Cause I don't know if I'm in your dreams
I want to be your everything
Diamond ring wear it on your hand
It's gonna tell the world I'm your only man
Diamond ring diamond ring
Baby you're my everything diamond ring
Darling you're my everything diamond ring
There's no-one watching over me tonight and I'm afraid to turn out the lights,
If I close my eyes, it'll all go away and I don't wanna see it end this way.
There was a time when truth and trust meant so much more to each of us
And all the dreams that once we had have seen the sun and left us feeling bad
Now the changing of the guard has left us feeling so damn hard
I'll keep my business, but I'm a little bit afraid
Through the years one thing hasn't changed
Yeah, yeah, yeah-hey
I would run through fields of fire,
I would crawl on broken glass,
Just to swin in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
That's all I ask
Now feeling good is not good enough, I know they've changed but not that much
Midnight time has left us feeling beaten up, I never was one who needs to give enough
I ain't a hero who gets the girl, but if I had my chance to save the world
I won't blow it now, I guess I'll understand
This boy becoming a man
Yeah, yeah, yeah-hey
I would run through fields of fire,
I would crawl on broken glass,
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
That's all I ask
Well, look at your hands if you hear what I said.
Can you count on your fingers each of your real friends
I know that I'm lucky, I know I'm right.
Fingerst turn into fists, we're here to take on the night.
That's right
Now I'm staring at an open door, we've had a lot and I want much more
You can keep all the money, and the streets that's painted gold
If someone gives me back my soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-hey
I would run through fields of fire,
I would crawl on broken glass
Just to swim in your sea of devotion, just to have a second chance
I would run through fields of fire,
I would run through fields of fire
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, I would run
All the way back home, I would run,
We met some time ago, when we were almost young
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?
I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose
You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes
I never thought I'd lose you, no I'd rather go blind
I thought I saw the future but the fortune teller lied
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes
When I was choking on the words to say
You showed me your finger down my throat
The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell
You were giving me hell, on that creaky old bed at the Ol' Duvol Motel
Just like everything, even good love has to die
Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
Just like everything, even good love has to die
Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye, no one even cried
We were one of a kind, one of a kind
Love left me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place I lost at love, and the place I lost my soul
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that I go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing I know that won't change
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When I bet all that I had on you
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a savior
In these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die
I came here like so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And I know nothing good comes easy
And all good things take some time
I made my bed I'll lie in it
To die in it's the crime
You can't help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
than anybody's known
I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home
Now there's nothing in this pay dirt
The ghosts are all I know
Now the oil's gone
The money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on
Chorus:
Down in Dry County
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in Dry County
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive
In the blessed name of Jesus
I heard a preacher say
That we are God's children
And he'd be back someday
And I hoped that he knew
Something as he drank his cup of wine
I didn't have too good of a feeling
As I head out to the night
I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away
Now the oil's gone
And the money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on
Chorus
Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for their big reward
But it seems sometimes
The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I'll die
Make it by the gun or knife
'Cause the other way there's too much pain
Night after night after night
Chorus:
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive

The last time that I saw her
Was the night she said good-bye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said
Chorus:
I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say is
All I wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But your memory kept calling my name
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
Baby all the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the skies blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
Built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you
Chorus
I may have built for you a dream house
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up with company
But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth
All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you
If you could see inside my heart
Then you 'd understand
I'd never mean to hurt you
Baby I'm not that kind of man
I might not say I'm sorry
Yeah, I might talk tough sometimes
And I might forget the little things
Or keep you hanging on the line
In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry
[Chorus:]
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you
I might not be a savior
And I'll never be a king
I might not send you roses
Or buy you diamond rings
But if I could see inside you
Maybe I'd know just who we are
'Cause our love is like a hunger
Without it we would starve
In a world that don't know Romeo and Juliet
Boy meets girl and promises we can't forget
We are cast from Eden's gate with no regrets
Into the fire we cry
This Romeo is bleedin'
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been rainin' since you left me
Now I'm drownin' in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I'll give up
I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
I guess I'm not that good anymore
But that's just me
I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
Touch your lips and hold you near
When you say your prayers understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needin' to hear
I wish I was him with these words of mine
To say to you till the end of time
That I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
I will love you baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and words don't rhyme
And I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you always
Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out
There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls
Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout
Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control
I been down and mistreated
Now we're standing undefeated
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
I'm the King of the Mountain
I'm the King of the Hill
You spend your life working 9 to 5 it's like doing time
Boss man says "Hey boy, you'll never be no good"
With the night there's a magic in the air that makes us come alive
Tonight's the night they can't put you down, no one could
I been down and mistreated
Now we're standing undefeated
Listen people can't you hear the voices that are crying out.
There's a hunger burning in the heart of their souls.
Maybe now that I got you let me tell you what I'm talking 'bout
Stand up and shout tonight we'll lose control
I been down and mistreated
We won't be cheated
Riding high, then shot down
I load my guns to fire another round
I look deep into her eyes
And can't run there's nowhere left to hide
Don't stop, no it's much too late
When the night comes I can't wait
Oh I live, love to loose control
It makes me crazy I want to let you know
[Chorus:]
Oh, no, I don't want to fall
Oh, oh, can't you hear me calling
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
Is you here with me.
I got to get to you, get to you, get to you.
There's a thrill, in the chase
We won't lose when we meet face to face.
Love, games a means without and end.
I go down but I'll be back again
Thru' the night with no retreat
When you're with me in my sleep.
[Chorus]
I can see you
I feel you every night
I need you
But I'm only dreaming
All night long in my secret dreams
You tell me I'm the one
When I'm next to you -- next to you.
All I want in my secret dreams
We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
When you're a part of society
You know, the heart of your innocence dies
When we met with Authority
I looked him right between the eyes
'Cause all we had was our innocence
All we had was our hearts to try to win the fight you tell me...
Can you save me, from it all
[Chorus]
Can you help me, hear me call
Can you save me, from it all
R.Sambora
You can be a million miles away
I will always love you
you can be a thousand throught always
I'll be thinking of you
No matter where you try to hide
you will always gonna find me
right where I belong
been here beside you all along
like some ancient star
forever we'll remain.
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in the end you'll always know
you're not alone.
You can change your face to someone else
still I won't forget you
when you're feeling lost inside yourself
I will come and get you
These days the only saviour you can find
is something you believe in
deep inside your heart
you might believe in me
Like some ancient star
forever we'll remain
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in your life you'll always know.
I know you got your fears and doubts
they're weighing on your mind
but something's gonna save you
you're gonna see the truth inside
I'll be right beside you
when the world tears apart
on your book like a shadow
no matter where you are
Like some ancient star
forever we'll remain
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in the end you'll always know
you're not alone
(written by: Bon Jovi)
You're boy sits down to write a song 'cause he thinks he's got something to say
Innocence thinks it can change the world but the world keeps getting in the way
It's a small list for the optimist who believes that he can fly
In a long line full of pessimists to stop him every time he tries
Some people see things as they are and ask,"why?"
I dream things that never were, I take my shot and say, "why not?"
Chorus:
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers
(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers
Get out of my way
I bend but I aint' breaking
Scared but I ain't shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
Convicted by convictions, they were carving out your cross
They came to take your measurements just to show you who's the boss
Until I reach that promised land I won't stop
When I get there I'll shake your hand so meet me on that mountaintop
Chorus:
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers
(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers
Get out of my way
I bend but I aint' breaking
Scared but I ain't shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing
(Hey, hey, hey) Forgotten and the bleeding
I may whisper but I'm screaming
I got angels, I got demons
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
I'm not suggesting that you fly with me (Yeah, yeah)
Well here's a dose of some reality (Yeah, yeah)
You're swinging at a change-up, boy you better shape up, here comes the wrecking
ball
Good morning, here's your wake-up call
Chorus:
(Hey, hey, hey) I feel the change a comin'
(Hey, hey, hey) See that train a comin'
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the dreamers
(Hey, hey, hey) Doubting disbelievers
Get out of my way
I bend but I ain't breaking
I'm scared but I ain't shaking
Baby, you can sleep while I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) This one's for the breathing
(Hey, hey, hey) The dying and the bleeding
Get out of my way
I may whisper but I'm screaming
I got angels, I got demons
Baby, you can sleep while I dream, when I dream and I dream I dream
(Hey, hey, hey) I can feel the change a come
(Hey, hey, hey) I see that train a coming
She wasn't young, but still a child
There still was innocence
In painted smiles
She called to me as I passed her by
Lady of the night looked in my eyes
She said: I been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same
Without love, there's nothing without love
Nothing else can get through the night
Nothing else feels right without love
I saw a man down on lonely street
A broken man who looked like me
And no one knows the pain that he's been living
He lost his love and still hasn't forgiven
He said: I've been through some changes
But one thing always stays the same
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
And nothing would mean nothing without love
I see my life
There's some things I took for granted
Love's passed me by
So many second chances
I was afraid
But I won't be afraid no more
There's nothing without love
Nothing else but love can burn as bright
She wakes up when I sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean, I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
Well, if she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live without her
Oh, yesterday's a memory, tomorrow's accessory
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you ?bout her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses, the roses
She feels at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live without her
But nobody knows, nobody knows
No, nobody knows, nobody knows
That's right
I tried to make you happy
You know I tried so hard to be
What you hoped that I would be
I gave you what wanted
God couldn't give you what you need
You wanted more from me
Than I could ever be
You wanted heart and soul
But you didn't know, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart
Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
You need someone to hold you
Somebody to be there night and day
Someone to kiss your fears away
I just went on pretending
Too weak, too proud, too tough to say
I couldn't be the one
To make your dreams come true
That's why I had to run
Though I needed you, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart
Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
Wild is the wind
Maybe a better man
Would live and die for you
Baby, a better man would
Never say goodbye to you
Wild, wild is the wind
That takes me away from you
Cold is the night without your love
To see me through, baby
Wild, wild is the wind
That blows through my heart tonight
That tears us apart
Wild is the wind,
Wild is the wind
You got to understand, baby
I spent twenty years tryin' to get out of this place
I was lookin' for somethin' I couldn't replace
I was runnin' away from the only thing I've ever known
And like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I've been there, done that, now I ain't lookin' back
And the seeds I've sown, savin' dimes
Spendin' too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left, I want to go
Who says you can't go home? It's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I left a million mile of memories on that road
Every step I take, I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy but not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left, I want to go
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, who says you can't go home?
I've been there, done that, now I ain't lookin' back
It's been a long, long road, feels like I've never left
That's how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy, born a rollin' stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left, I want to go
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You say you've been hurt before
It's time you realized
The promises they never meant to keep
They're nothing more than lies
You can come to me with your problems
How he turned you on with his lines
There ain't no use in pretending
'Cause you know love is blind
Who hurt you this time
You're laying your heart on the line
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part
So baby stop crying
And wipe those teardrops from your eyes
It's time to get back on your feet again
Life's full of alibis
If I've told you once (once), I've told you twice (twice),
Said it a thousand times before
But you're so young and too innocent
You keep on coming back for more
Who hurt you this time
When you lay your heart on the line
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Cause lovers sometimes part
So hold your head up high
It's lonely in the dark
Let someone else try to mend your broken heart
To make a brand new start of things
And I would give you everything that you were missing
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part
Who said it would last forever
And he'd never break your heart
You should have known better
Lovers sometimes part
Who said it would last forever
Who said it would last forever
I don't care about where you've been
I don't care about anything but today
And baby, you and me
She lives her life behind neon lights
Whispering softly, you fall for her again
Another night, they're all the same
We're living here on borrowed time
So you go your way and I'll go mine
I'm still waiting for someone special
To come and take me away
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone
I took her home through a parking lot
Up to that old forgotten spot
Where all the tough guys used to go
Then I told her I love her, I'd take her away
Follow my dreams get out of this rat trap someday
Come on baby, let's get away
She said, you know I've heard it all before
How you're life's a revolving door
You think, you're gonna get out
But you're always in and you'll never win
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well baby I'll be giving for free
Well tonight's ours baby, in the morning I'll be gone
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Well I'll be giving for free
I'm leaving in the morning and I'll be gone
What you want
Well, you can get it from me
What you need
Baby I'll be giving for free
Maybe we're all different but we're still the same
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be
If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Remember every new beginning is some beginnings end
Welcome to wherever you are this is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here, right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
When everybody's in and you're left out
And you feel you're drowning in the shadow of a doubt
Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say
When it seems you're lost, alone and feeling down
Remember, everybody's different, just take a look around
Welcome to wherever you are this is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
Right here, right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Be who you want to be, be who you are
Everyone's a hero, everyone's a star
When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Remember that you're perfect, God makes no mistakes
Welcome to wherever you are this is your life, you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
Right here, right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are this is your life, you made it this far
I say welcome to wherever you are this is your life, you made it this far
I had enough of staring down at my shoes
Filling my cup with television's bad news
All of it's worthless, nothing to hold on to
Kicked out because there's nothing left but me and you
A little beat up but what you get's what you see
A bit of a rebel, a little bit of refugee
Waited my whole life away
Been waiting for someone like you to say
Hey, welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
Welcome to the good times
I'm always the one on the outside looking inside
Always the bridesmaid, never been the new bride
Sometimes I feel like a canary in a coal mine
It's hard to breathe but somehow it's got to stay in flight
Waiting for the dice to roll our way
We've been waiting for someone somewhere to say
Hey, welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine line, until you feel alright
Welcome, forget about the hard times
Gonna make the sun shine if it takes all night
We'll say welcome to the good times
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine until you feel alright
Welcome, forget about the hard times
Gonna make the sun shine if it takes us all night
We'll say welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine until you feel alright, alright
Welcome, welcome to the good times
Take it in like fine wine, until you feel alright
This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need
This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology
This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change
Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who cusses and spits
This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
We weren't born to follow
Come on and get up off your knees
When life is a bitter pill to swallow
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Believe that the sun will shine tomorrow
And that your saints and sinners bleed
We weren't born to follow
You gotta stand up for what you believe
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)
We weren't born to follow, oh yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah)

He said sit down son, we’ve gotta talk
I said it’s my life, I’m gonna do what I want
I’m not gonna crawl, I’m gonna walk
Walk right out that door
He said I used to be a lot like you
There’s nothing you’ve done that I didn’t do
I laughed and said Dad I’m bulletproof
We’ve been through this before
I couldn’t believe it
There was a tear in my old man’s eye
When I was leaving
He tried to say goodbye, he said
Stand tall when you stumble
Stand proud when you’re humble
All the lessons you learn won’t be the ones that you’ll claim
Every step up that mountain
Would be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man
I’ve seen a couple miles on a gravel road
Picked up a couple things I didn’t know
And now I’ve even got a kid of my own
Starting to sound a lot like me
I learned a little thing called sacrifice
Giving up on dreams, lost a couple fights
All anybody wants is a better life
And something to believe
Stand tall when you stumble
Stand proud when you’re humble
All the lessons you learn won’t be the ones that you’ll claim
Every step up that mountain
Would be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man, yeah
I couldn’t believe it
When the tears came to my eyes
It isn’t easy standing on the other side
I said sit down, son, we’ve gotta talk
Hey, it’s your life, you’re gonna do what you want
I won’t say crawl before you walk
Cos I heard my old man in my mind, saying
Stand tall when you stumble
Stand proud when you’re humble
All the lessons you learn won’t be the ones that you’ll claim
Every step up that mountain
Would be more than worth counting
But when you walk through the valley may you walk like a man
You said you made me and you break me
You said it ain't hard to shake me
Uh huh, uh huh
You threw me ever since you've taken me down
You came like a rainy grey Monday
I prayed like it was a Sunday
You say, you say
But I won't run away, I'll be standing my ground
Seen all the screaming and fighting
Lived through the screaming and lying
I'm fine, you can't deny
I'm unbreakable
Unstoppable
I'm invincible
Come on bring it to me
Cuz I'm always gonna be
Unbreakable
Reliable
Undeniable
Come on give it to me
Cuz I'm always gonna be unbreakable
Don't need the diamond cards or cold cash
Don't need to sell my soul so don't ask
Uh huh, uh huh
Took a pass on the pass I'd be leaving right now
Newsflash, I'm causing a commotion
Jump back, I'm poetry in motion,
Think fast, talk trash
Well I ain't talking back but I'm calling you out
No time for fussing and fighting
Lived through the screaming and the lying
I'm fine, you can't deny
I'm unbreakable
Unstoppable
I'm invincible
come on bring it to me
Cuz I'm always gonna be
Unbreakable
Reliable
Undeniable
Come on give it to me
Cuz I'm always gonna be unbreakable
I will be unbreakable
{guitar solo}
Newsflash, I'm causing a commotion
Jump back, I'm poetry in motion,

{One, two, one, two}
I couldn't sleep
Took a walk down Second Avenue
Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true
One way street and I know where its leading to
There's a "For sale" sign on the front door of the city hall
The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall
I could take the hit
But I ain't going to take the fall
(The fall)
That's just one side of the story
In this two story town
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going round
I'm going down, down ,down, down, down
In a two story town
There's a girl that I sleep with
Got ecstasy eyes
He promised her roses and American pie
I called her and my demons
I kissed them both goodbye
Seven days of Monday morning
In this two story town
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I'm gonna take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship is going round
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
In a two story town
One shot to make a move now
The ghosts are calling me out
And me, I'm just one story
In a two story town
But you're never gonna to find me in the lost and found
It's just the same old sights
And the same old sounds
I gonna take my car and drive out of this two story town
It's the same old ship going round
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
It's a two story town
It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds
I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round
I won't give in and I won't back down
I'm going down, down, down, down down
I'm never going down, down, down, down, down
I ain't going down, down, down, down, down
In a two story town
In this two story town, watch me now
To to to do to
To to to do to
To to to do to
In a time, in a place
In a world, they forgot
Lives the heart of me
A part that just won't die
Just a boy, not a man
Sent to war, in a land
They said we'd fight for their freedom
But I felt like a hired hand
Sometimes I have to find my way
Sometimes I have to get away
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Take me back to Tokyo Road
Working hard, for a pass
Got the night, make it last
It was a time to remember
All my life I would never forget
In a bar, breathing smoke
Snorting whiskey, drinking coke
It was a time when no one would die
And there wasn't a care
Sometimes I wish it was that way
Cause sometimes I have to get away
This guy turns me around and he's pointing up the stairs
I found myself in her doorway but there wasn't anybody there
She walked in the room with nothing on but a red light
And with a smile she got so close to me.
She whispered something 'bout midnight
You know I didn't understand a word she said
But it felt so good
She knew that I didn't have any money
(J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Bryan)
We would take no prisoners
'Cause there was nobody giving in
They came walking through my jungle
And met an angel about to sin
I heard a voice from inside of me
When the youth of America cried:
Can you help me, hear me call
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
When you're a part of society
You know, the heart of your innocence dies
When we met with Authority
I looked him right between the eyes
'Cause all we had was our innocence
All we had was our hearts to try to win the fight you tell me...
Can you save me, from it all
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
'Cause I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
Don't let me fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
Can you help me, hear me call
Can you save me, from it all...
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
I don't wanna fall (I don't wanna fall)
To the fire
It might be hard to be lovers
But its harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
Its time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
Ill just go ahead and lock the door
If you just talk to me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow
I sit beside you on the bed
Dont you think its time we say
Some things we havent said
It aint too late to get back to that place
Back to where, we thought it was before
Why dont you look at me
Til we aint strangers anymore
Sometimes its hard to love me
Sometimes its hard to love you too
I know its hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy
To live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore
Its hard to find forgivness
When we just run out of lies
Its hard to say youre sorry
When you cant tell wrong from right
It would be so easy
To spend your whole damn life
Just keeping score
So lets get down to it baby
There aint no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Lets put our two hearts back together
And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Til we aint strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore
We're not strangers
Thorn in my side
You're always there
Just to remind me
That I still care
Thorn in my side
You won't let me go
Right there beside me
To let me know
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of things I loved
When I was too blind to see
But I’ll survive
I gave up on luck but I’m still getting by
Yeah I’m going to be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, ooooah
Thorn in my side
You just won't quit
Once in a while when I crack a smile
You rub my face in it
Thorn in my side
You won't let me run
God bless the fights
That I’ve lost and won
But I’ll survive
I gave up on luck but I’m still getting by
Yeah I’m going to be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side
I've been pushed around
Been knocked down
Lost a round or three
Life took a couple of things I loved
When I was too blind to see
But I’ll survive
I gave up on luck but I’m still getting by
Yeah I’m going to be alright
You can test my faith
But you can't take my pride
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side
Thorn in my side, thorn in my side, thorn in my side
Thorn in my side, wooah, wooooahh ohhh
These days what's left of me ain't no Prince Charming
And my Cinderella feels like she stayed at the dance too long
We ain't got much but what we got is all that matters
We're pickin' up the pieces, tryin' to put 'em back where they belong
Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
These days it seems like there's three sides to every story
There's yours, mine, lately there's the cold hard truth
Who cares who's wrong or right when we turn out the lights?
We'll find forgiveness when we're in each other's arms tonight
It ain't pretty but somehow we always make it through
Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
Ohh, it's gonna be alright
This is love, this is life
When times get tough we're still worth the fight
This is love, this is life
The road here's paved with the brokenhearted
We gotta finish what we started
Ohhh, better hold on tight
This is love, this is life
This is love, this is life
Should have seen it coming when the roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
Should have listened when you said, "Goodnight"
You really meant goodbye
Baby, ain't it funny, how I never ever learn to fall?
You're really on your knees when you think you're standing tall
But only fools are 'Know it all's' and I played that fool for you
I cried and I cried there were nights that I died for you, baby
I tried and I tried to deny your love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I've got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade?
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades, some things never change
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us, baby
And now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving, ohh
If the love that I got for you is gone
And if the river I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yea, I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
If the pain that I'm feelin' so strong is the reason I'm holdin' on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song, ooh
I cried and I cried there were nights that I died for you, baby
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't no love song
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong is the reason I'm holdin' on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
Ooo, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
(written by: Bon Jovi)
You can lock up all the doors,
Pull up the covers
Turn out the lights,
I'll know where you are,
It's alright.
You can go ahead and hide,
You know you can't keep me out,
I'll find my way
I'm here to stay,
Even the cops can't save you now.
Hey, baby, there's nothing you can do,
Hey, baby, it's isn't up to you.
Chorus:
I am the thief of hearts,
Don't hide or try to run,
I'll play the part, I'm the thief of hearts,
gonna steal love.
i am the theif of hearts.
You can hold on to your heart,
You ain't gonna win,
Go ahead and draw the blind,
I'm still coming in.
Hey, baby, I'm gonna wear you down,
Hey, baby, Better listen to me now.
Chorus:
I am the thief of hearts,
The shadow on your wall.
The whisper in your ear,
The footsteps in the hall.
I am the thief of hearts,
Don't hide or try to run,
I'll play the part, I'm the thief of hearts,
gonna steal love.
i am the theif of hearts.
Hey, baby, there's nothing you can do,
Hey, baby, you know there ain't no use.
Chorus:
I am the thief of hearts,
I'm guilty of the charge.
You can throw away the keys,
And double up the bars.
I am the thief of hearts,
Don't hide or try to run.
I'll play the part, I'm the thief of hearts.
i am the theif of hearts,
i am the theif of hearts,
Well, it's closing time, I got no place to go
No, I'm not tired; nobody's waiting at home
Hey, what about you? Looks like you're leaving alone
Guess that makes two - me and you
By the way, my name's Jones
I know a place not far from here
That's my dented red Chevy out front
You can follow me there
There's no neon lights
It don't stink of beer
It's just a mile up the road
Just a minute from here
Chorus:
These arms are open all night
If you need someone to talk to
A hand to hold onto
And if it feels alright
These arms are open all night
The band is through, they're breaking down the drums
The took the singer's keys, man, he was really drunk
They're turning on the lights, we can't stay here no more
I can take a hint, find my way out the door
So what do you think? Are you going my way?
There's still a whole lot left to this night
Baby, what do you say?
Chorus:
These arms are open all night
If you need someone to talk to
A hand to hold onto
And if it feels alright
These arms are open all night
God only knows how long it's been that I been so lonely
Back there at the stop sign
I see her headlights
I think she's coming with me
Chorus:
These arms are open all night
If you need someone to talk to
A hand to hold onto
And if it feels alright
(written by: Bon Jovi)
If I, I could be anyone
Could I, I be your only one?
If I, I could be anything
Could I be the secret that you keep
Breath that you breathe
Your dreams while you sleep?
If you, if you could read my mind
Then you, you'd now I crossed that line
I, I'd make you my Valentine
I can't let you go but I know
That this ring is there to remind
Chorus:
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's-his-name's one act play
I'll be your hero
And you'll be the one who got away
Now I'm chasing headlights back home
And you, you're sitting there on your own
When we were sippin' martinis
I started believing I wouldn't be leaving alone
I told you a joke and you laughed
When I asked you to dance
You said there's no band, there's no radio
I got up real slow, started singing real low
When I was melting in your arms I had to let go
Chorus:
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's-his-name's one act play
I'll be your hero
And you'll be the one..
If there was no tomorrow
There were no yesterdays
The stolen moments we've borrowed
We wouldn't let slip away
Chorus:
So let's re-enact that scene
From what's-his-name's one act play
I'll be your hero
So let's re-enact that scene
Until our dying day
I'll be the hero
Silver bullet in the wild blue
Crack in the walls I'm coming through
Think you can stop me, well take a look in these eyes
You can't cage what you can't tame
There ain't no rules, this ain't a game
There's no way to stop the fire inside
You can escape a pouring rain
You can run for shelter in a hurricane
Change your face, lose your name
Lie about things you can't explain
But there's one thing that you cannot deny
Chorus:
The fire inside
The fire inside
You can run from what's in your blood and you can't hide
From the fire inside
The fire inside
Tonight I'll run I need no sleep
When it feels this good you're in too deep
In blood I'm gonna write my name, cover my tracks I feel no shame
Just let 'em try and stop the fire inside
Chorus:
The fire inside, the fire inside
You can run from what's in your blood and you can't hide
The fire inside, the fire inside
It's the only way you know you're still alive
The fire inside, the fire inside
There's no place for me in heaven
Tonight I just might die
They'll be no one to hold my hand
For me no one will cry
There'll be no forgiveness but I'll never deny
Chorus:
The fire inside, the fire inside
You can't run from what's in your blood and you can't hide
The fire inside, the fire inside
It's the only way to know you're still alive
The fire inside, the fire inside
The fire inside, the fire inside
There's a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
Far away where no one's waiting, so far from home, so far from home
There's a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
Like that lonesome whistle blowing
I keep on going, keep on going...
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance
There's a thread that runs between us pulling 'cross this great divide
It's only there for the believers
Don't stop believing, don't stop believing
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance, I'll go the distance
There's a neverending story that begins with you and I
Like the rose outside your window
Don't let it die, don't let it die
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and my arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
Another lonely night, on the telephone we talk
When will the lightening strike, the thundering roar
Pretending that you miss the touch of my caress
But our lips never met, cause one kiss could never last
Locked up inside your room
You play your lover's tunes
You dance all night, but you run out of moves
You're so close but out of reach
Your voice is haunting me
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
You're talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You play so hard to get
I know you'll never change your ways
You make the minutes seem like hours
The hours seem like days
You know I'll come when you whisper
I'll run when you call
And when I'm calling out to you
Oh baby, I got no replies at all
This hide and seek were playing
Is such a vicious game
But it don't matter what you say
I love you anyway
Cause you've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
You're talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
Talking in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
Talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep
You've been talking in your sleep again
You talk in your sleep baby
Talking in your sleep again
Feels something like summertime
Top down, ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
It feels something like summertime
These days, life goes like this
Wake up, check that off of some list
Gotta be a little something more than this
The bottom of my coffee cup
I keep a postcard in the back of my mind
White sand, sunshine
And you're shining like a brand new diamond
It's keeping me from giving up
Thinking like I had enough
You make me feel something like summertime
Top down, ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Like that first slow dance and the first long kiss
There ain't nothing, baby, better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels something like summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
I was a warm breeze with a cool tan
Life mapped out on the back of my hand
When, when I was laughing, I was making plans
But I didn't laugh when I found you
There's a heaven, baby, you're the proof
You make me feel something like summertime
Top down, ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Like that first slow dance and the first long kiss
There ain't nothing, baby, better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels something like summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
Feels something like summertime
Top down, ain't nothing but time
Radio's on for me and my valentine
It's like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothing, baby, better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine, yeah
Feels something like summertime
Top down, ain't nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
It feels something like summertime
Just like summertime
Sum-sum-summertime
Hey mister can you tell me
What this world's about
It might just help me out
I used to be a dreamer
But my dreams have burned
You know how luck can turn
Sometimes it's hard to find a friendly face
Feel like a stranger to the human race
It's such a lonely, lonely place
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin'
But you can't hear a sound
'Cause midnight rain is comin' down
I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town
Everybody loves a winner
Till the winners lose
And then it's front page news
Nobody loves a loser
When you're down and out
You know there ain't no doubt
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won't you understand
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin'
But you can't hear a sound
'Cause midnight rain is comin' down
I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I'm just a victim of circumstance
Please mister give me a helping hand
Brother won't you understand
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home
I might be dyin'
But you can't hear a sound
'Cause midnight rain is comin' down
I'm just a stranger, a stranger in this town
I mean no danger, I'm a stranger, I'm a stranger
I'm a stranger in this town...
I mean no danger, I'm a stranger...
What more can I do, there's nothing I haven't tried
Still it's so hard for her to notice
I've tried hard to be straight
There's nothing left I can say
If only she would look my way
She don't know me, she don't know
She don't see me, she don't care
She can't hear me, can't hear
Can not help me, she don't want
She don't want me like I want her
Like I wan't her got to tell her
Got to tell her that I love her
That I love her
She doesn't even know my name
I dream of when she'll be mine
I dream of crossing that line
And holding her so tender
Dreaming it could come true
So many things I would do
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
Ain't nobody riding shotgun in the world tonight
And when you spit, you better mean it
You got to make 'em all believe it
If you're gonna be the one, whoa
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger but only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war but only if you have to
It's only if you have to
So you want to be the big time
Some people gonna drag you down
There's no living in the backseat
If you're gonna drive through town
And when you pray for independence
Boy, you better stand your ground
You got to give it all you got now
Or you might get shot down
Fight hard until the battle is won
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger but only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war but only if you have to
It's only if you have to, oh yeah yeah yeah
Well, you know that I been through it
I got the scars to prove it
Fight hard and the battle is yours, whoa
Stick to your guns
Ain't nobody gonna hurt you, baby
You can go for the trigger but only if you have to
Aim from the heart
Some will love and some will curse you, baby
And you can go to war but only if you have to
It's only if you have to
Stick to your guns, oh
Stick to your guns, oh
So you want to be a cowboy
Well you know it's more that just a ride
Guess you got to know the real thing
If you're gonna know the other side
Every singer’s always singing ‘bout someone else
Another bleeding heart, another brand new start
But this time I’m singing all about myself
I made it be so lonely, even my piano wants to cry
These arms weren’t there to hold you
And when I was home I was miles away
Now you’ve got every right to go girl,
But I’m standing here, I’m begging you
Stay just a little longer
You’ve always been the one who’s stronger
I can’t let you go, I’m begging you stay
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can’t let you walk away
There are things I didn’t ever say or do
Like I would die without you
Didn’t mean I didn’t want to
But every song I ever sang I sang for you
And every night away from you
Knowing you’d be home’s what got me through
Tore up all the pictures of our wasted yesterdays
I’m fighting for tomorrow,
Standing here, I’m begging you
Stay just a little longer
You’ve always been the one who’s stronger
I can’t let you go, I’m begging you stay
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can’t let you walk away
Stay, I know I’ve done you wrong
It’d be easy to move on, I’m telling you
I’m begging you, I’m pleading, I’m screaming
Stay just a little longer
You've always been the one who’s stronger
I can’t let you go, I’m begging you stay
Stay because I need you
With every breath I breathe you
I can’t let you walk away, stay
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Stay, oh just a little longer
You’ve always been the one who’s stronger
You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was, "Man, I think I'm dying"
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window
The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say good bye
It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The night is fading like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says "Forever"
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand
Playing king of the mountain on a dead end street
At the edge of the block that’s where we cut our teeth
The world was trying to sweep up off our feet
I'd run home crying with cut up knees
It’s alright, Mama said, it's alright
Now nothing's changed, it never will
Learn to swallow defeat like a bitter pill
Remember the story ‘bout Jack and Jill
They ended up driving in a Coupe de Ville
And you don't know when your ship will arrive
Don't give up, don't give in
Stand and fight, you just might win
When the ride gets rough, hold on tight
Someday just might be tonight
You're the kind that goes swimming with a raincoat on
Who's to say if you’re right or wrong
Let me know when you’ve figured it out
Just don't go drowning in a shadow of doubt
Don't let the bastards make up your mind
Don't give up, don't give in
Stand and fight, you just might win
When the ride gets rough, hold on tight
Someday just might be tonight
You may never find a treasure that's been washed up on the beach
And heaven won't be waiting for you walking down these city streets
Remember Mama's band-aids on your scabby knees
They had to bleed for little victories
Don't give up, don't give in
Stand and fight, you just might win
When the ride gets rough, hold on tight
Someday just might be tonight
Don't give up, don't give in
You never know when the ship will come in
When the ride gets rough, hold on tight
After the smoke clears
When it's down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there's nothing left but goodbyes
We'll just turn and walk away
How could we let it end like this
Just turn and walk away
Should we seal it with a kiss
It's too late
Now you're out and on the run
It's too late
Held up in love without a gun
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
And we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and don't let go...
It was all so simple when
You were to be queen and I'd be your king
I guess those dreams got lost
Cause baby you're still you and I'm still me
Now letting go
It's always the hardest part to fight
When we both know
We're just two more victims of the night
It's too late
Too late to wonder why
Much too late
To save a love that's died.
Just hold me close and don't let me go
After the smoke cleared
It was down to you and I
When the sun appeared
There was nothing left but goodbyes...
Long slow drive down an old dirt road
You've got your hand out the window, listening to the radio
That's where I wanna be...
On an old park bench in the middle of December
Cold hard rain fallin', can't find no cover
That would be alright with me...
Hard days, good times, blue skies, dark nights
Baby, I want you to take me ... wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me ... a seat next to you
In the corner booth of a downtown bar, with your head on my shoulder
Smokin' on a cheap cigar...that would be alright with me
In the back row of a movie or a cross-town train
I wanna hear your voice whispering my name...that's where I wanna be
Hard days, good times, blue skies, dark nights
Baby, say that you'll take me ... wherever you're going to
Maybe say that you'll save me ... a seat next to you
Life is like a ferris wheel, spinnin' around
When you get to the top it's hard to look down
Just hang on ... we'll make it through
Save me ... a seat next to you
When you get to the gates and the angels sing
Go to that place where the church bells ring
You know I'll come runnin' ... runnin' to find you
Baby, say that you'll take me ... wherever you're going to
Maybe I want you to save me ... a seat next to you
A seat next to you
A seat ... next to you
I just can't believe
It was all a lie
No man in the moon
Just a big light in the sky
I hear Disneyland
Might lose Mickey Mouse
In some giant hostile corporate shake-up
Tell me it's a nightmare
Please wake me up
(Say it isn't so)
I found a book of matches
From someplace we've never been
How come you hang the phone up
The minute I walk in
Last night I had this dream
That I was losing you
I woke up in a cold sweat shaking
Rescue me my heart is breaking
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so
Superman don't fly
They did it all with strings
Elvis Presley died
They deep fried the king
Like some tacky cheesy bathing beauty
Dancing on the beach in a bad b-movie
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it through)
Make everything all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so...
Say it isn't so (tell me it's not true)
Say it isn't so (I believe in you)
Tell me it's a lie (I don't need no proof)
Say everything's all right (couldn't be, not you)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on me)
Say it isn't so (don't give up on you)
Get me through the night (we'll make it through)
Make everything all right (couldn't be, not you)
I never went to college
I don't have a degree
Let's say I went to night school
I learned all I know on the streets
I wasn't born a rich man
I ain't got no pedigree
The sweat on this old collar
That's my Ph.D.
It comes down to this
I wouldn't exist
Without you it ain't worth the grind
I'd fight for one kiss
On a night like this
You make me feel I could fly, like
I could save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I could save the world
I got to confess
Sometimes I'm a mess
And sometimes I step out of line
Like this old tattoo
I ain't shiny or new
With you by my side nothing matters
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Maybe I can save the world
They can say it's blind love
But it's a fool who don't believe
That I'd fly all the way to the moon
Just to walk you down your street
I can save the world
Since the night your love saved me
Maybe I can't save the world
But as long as you believe
Our love is even stronger
Than god hoped it could be
Baby, all it takes is
Just a little faith in me
To feel like
I can save the world
Dear Lord, Jesus, Buddah, Allah or can I just call you Joe
I've got a lot of things to tell you and some things I gotta know
I'm tired of hearing talk about this world's about to end
If we can die together then can't we all be friends
I gotta know
Hey, I gotta know
So Mister can you tell me, gotta know
Baby can you tell me, gotta know
Whoa oh oh I gotta know
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I gotta know
Baby can you help me, gotta know
I gotta know
Did you ever feel like you were drowning,
did you ever feel betrayed by a kiss?
Did you ever feel like you needed somebody,
would you feel alone in a world like this?
Did you ever feel like you needed shelter,
did you ever laugh when you wanted to cry?
Did you ever dream about evolution,
don't you ever feel like your living a lie?
Oh, Whoa, too many children grow up blind to the truth.
I say, Oh Oh, Oh, Oh,
say a prayer for me,
I'll save a prayer for you.
Did you ever feel like you were helpless,
did you ever feel like an open wound?
Did you ever feel that there ain't no forgiveness,
did you ever feel that close to the.truth.
Oh Whoa, the world closed their eyes on the blinding truth.
I say, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh , say a prayer for me,
and I'll save a prayer for you
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll save a prayer.... for you, for you, for you.
I'll save a prayer.
Did you ever feel like you need shelter,
did you ever feel like you lived through the flood?
Did you ever feel a lust for survival, did you ever feel, feel, feel?
The world keeps turning.
Rooms still burning.
There's too many hearts that haven't found a home.
This train's on the tracks and the world's on my back,
save a prayer for me and I'll save one for you.
No one to blame , but it's hard to explain,
why too many soul's are feeling so alone.
You've got to hold on if it's all you can do.
Save a prayer for me, I'll save a prayer for you.
I'll save a prayer for you, I'll save a prayer for you,
I'll Save a prayer....
They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day
The spirits, they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions
That only one of you is going home again
And I blame this world for making a good man evil
It's this world that can drive a good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad
Now I ain't getting into heaven if the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Lord have mercy
So I save a prayer when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will he close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took ?
Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save ?
Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
On the street where you live
Girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint
A touch of sable in their eyes
All your life all you asked
When is your Daddy gonna talk to you
But we're living in another world
Tryin' to get your message through
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
A different line every night
Guaranteed to blow your mind
I see you out on the streets
Call me for a wild time
So you sit home alone
'Cause there's nothing left that you can do
There's only pictures hung in the shadows
Left there to look at you
You know she likes the lights
At night on the neon Broadway signs
And she don't really mind
It's only love she hoped to find
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she wants a night away
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
All those things he couldn't say
Ooh, she's a little runaway
Daddy's girl learned fast
Now she wants a night away
Bet the black comes in red, crimes of passion rule my head
I need you, you want him, dressed to kill we live in sin
I know the game you play, I know it well
You just keep on playin' when all the bets are down
Roulette you're goin' round in a spin,
Caught up in a game you just can't win
Roulette, you're just a fantasy
It's everything that you want it to be
Play the numbers one by one, fire the shot and the damage is done
Restless lovers pay the price, cheating hearts don't think twice
When you make the rules no one can slow you down
You just keep 'em waiting when you're on the prowl
Backdoor runner got away this time
Leaves her mark at the scene of the crime
Nothing matters, no faces, no names
You're just a number, it's all the same
You just love to play the game
I know the game you play, I know it well
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warming sign on the road ahead
There's lot of people sayin' we'd better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
he hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Ride cowboy ride
Through the back door to heaven to the other side
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride
Yeah, I learn my lesson
In the story of trial
So I made my confession
In this sleazy motel
I could be the romantic
I could try my best lines
But I ain't got the money
An' ain't got the town
Ride, cowboy, ride
Through the back door to heaven to the other side
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
Ride, cowboy, ride
So you want to be a cowboy
Ride, ride, ride
You wanna be a big shot
Baby, come on

Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meet
He's gotta pay his credit cards, yeah he's been dealing with the odds that even
Vegas can't beat
By six he's out of bed, she makes his coffee sweet
He grabs his boots & his coat, leaves a note that says I Love You
And runs to catch a bus down at the end of Market Street
Chorus:
It took some time to figure it out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
He might be down, but he ain't out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
Every night at home, feels like it's Christmas Eve
Gracie's got his dinner on the stove, Daddy's coming home
And they've got seven hungry children that are tugging on his sleeve
Chorus:
It took some time to figure it out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
He might be down, but he ain't out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
Every night at five when work lets out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
He arrives at 9 as the work bell's ringing
Hits the grind but his heart is singing
Some men live for money
Some men live for work
But it's a real man, a richer man who knows what love's worth
Chorus:
It took some time to figure it out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
He might be down, but he ain't out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
Every night at five when work lets out
He's a rich man living in a poor man's house
A rich man living in a poor man's house
A rich man living in a poor man's house
I wish that life was like it is in the movies
Cos the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark lonely road
At the end he’s got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to lions
No-one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no-one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong
And what I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can’t hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armour
With an army just to bring you back home
But I’ll admit I’m scared of dialling your number
Someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can’t it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside I can’t hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I’m bleeding from
And I realise this is real
I always thought that our love was a story book tale
God knows that I’d never dream in the end it would fail
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I’m sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside I can’t hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds I’m bleeding from
You - you got a nasty reputation
We're in a sticky situation - it's down to me and you
So tell me - is it true ... they say there ain't nobody better
Well now that we're together
Show me what you can do
You're under the gun
Out on the run
Gonna set the night on fire
You're out on the run
Under the gun
And playin' to win
Raise your hands
When you want to let it go
Raise your hands
And you want to let a feeling show
Raise your hands
From New York to Chicago
Raise your hands
From New Jersey to Tokyo
Raise your hands
I - I've been out on the front line
Where you'll go down if you waste time
They'll walk all over you
But I - I ain't here looking for surrender
I'll raise the flag if you'll defend her
It's up to you
You're under the gun
Out on the run
Gonna set the night on fire
You're out on the run
Under the gun
PRAYER 94
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's went on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough (Richie)it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day - (Richie) Yes She Does
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love (richie) for his love, for love
She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah Livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, so tough
Gina dreams of running away (Richie)Yes she does
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby it's okay (Richie)it's ok, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Whooah Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whooah Livin' on a prayer
We're Livin on a prayer
~Guitar Solo~
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got Whooah
You gotta say whooah we're half way there
Whooah Livin on a prayer
Take my hand we'll make it i swear
Ooohhh Livin on a prayer
Ooohhh, We're half way they
whooah Livin on a prayer
take my hand we'll make it i swear
Oohh livin on a prayer
Oohh livin on a prayer
Whooah livin on a prayer yeah
Tommy used to work on the docks
The union went on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough
(written by: Bon Jovi)
In his mind he was a man, at least he thought he was
It's hard to understand how old is old enough
Yeah, she was his girl they met back in high school
And they ran off and got married 'cause they though it'd be cool
They'll never see what you are to me
All that I want, all that I believe is
Chorus:
They say we're too young to understand
They don't know how it feels when I hold your hand
They say we've gotta to prove what we're made of
You and me against the world
Outlaws of love
The honeymoon was over, the money'd all been spent
Felt like he was kidnapped, his ransom was the rent
Spent too much time crying, holding onto pride
He talks about a promise, he'd look her in the eye
No time to cry living on the run
We never know if our day will come
Chorus:
They say we're young and don't understand
They don't know how it feels when I hold your hand
We'll save our dreams before they turn to dust
They'll be no surrender for
Outlaws of love
Outlaws of love
You know it ain't easy to sink or rise above
These days you're two paychecks away ain't that simple enough
Now I hope we can laugh when we look back on these years
We'd say about the hard times still sinking from our beer
They say we're young and don't understand
They don't' know how it feels when I hold your hand
Each day we gotta prove what we're made up
You and me against the world
Outlaws of love
Outlaws of love
(written by: Bon Jovi)
Little Jimmy just bought high-top sneakers
He wants to fly high like his heroes can
He's got a smile like Michael Jordan
In the school yard, Jimmy, he's the man
I'm sitting here watching his heart beating
He's ten feet tall, all five foot four of him
Come six o'clock working out his foul shots
The ball ain't falling, Momma's calling
She smiles and says
Chorus:
You and me, we're ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
But these are extraordinary times
She lives alone, got four kids through high school
She cleans houses and takes in wash at night
You'd never know what she don't have much
Because she's rich with the things money can't buy
She don't need clothes
She don't want diamonds
Don't got a brand new car to drive in
What she got is love and that's a lot
At least it's a good start
Chorus:
You and me, we're ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
But these are extraordinary times
Everybody wants to be somebody
Everybody wants to be someone
We only want to watch the game on Sunday
Sit back and catch a little buzz
Ain't nobody wants to be nobody
Everybody wants a little love
Everybody wants to be the hero
Ride into the setting sun
Chorus:
You and me, we're ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
But these are extraordinary times
I got dreams like ordinary people
I can see it when I close my eyes at night
I saw you coming from a mile away
Trying I hide another pretty face
Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue
Last thing you need's another pickup line
You must have heard 'em all a thousand times
God only knows what you been through
Believe me I've been broken too
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I've been around that block a time or two, baby
I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistakes, it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
I got your taste in the back of my mouth
I want to reach in and pull it out
And I'd be lying if I didn't say
When you're this close I'm afraid
The way I feel if I touch your hair
The way I miss you when you're not there
And then I see you when I close my eyes
It's too late, I've crossed that line
And it aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
But I'll still be around come closing time
I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistakes but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
It's 2 a.m., it's last call baby
The barkeeper's gone, I'll walk you're home now
Save me, baby!
I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break
Please don't make me make the same mistakes, but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
(written by: Bon Jovi)
Barkeep pour me one last shot 'cause I must be on my way
Gotta make that same old stop that this soul makes everyday
Tell me why am I holding on? Harry, why is love like a flame?
It burns you when it's hot but Cupid's fire trucks never came
I can't bend the hands of time so I think myself to sleep
The way you never said goodbye if only in my dreams
Chorus:
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me what you long to be
Are you longing for my touch?
It's only in my dreams
We sing the love songs you once sung
And the stars are so in reach
And I'll see the job gets done
If only in my dreams
Lord, I'd sacrifice my eyes; there's nothing else I'd rather see
And you can have my heart - it's of little use to me
And if you want my soul I'd throw it in for free
It's all I'm worth that's left since my angel got her wings
Now I'm down and on my knees; it's of little use to pray
Unless you give her back but there's no deals cut these days
They're only in my dreams
Chorus:
Tell me where you want to go
Tell me what you long to be
Are you longing for my touch?
If only in my dreams
We'll sing the love songs you once sung
Touch the stars they're all in reach
And I'll see the job gets done
If only in my dreams
Now I curse the daytime
When I'm alone at nighttime
'Cause I swore the sun shined just for you
And I know you anywhere
There ain't no pain, there ain't no tears
And if I have my way from the moment I get there
Chorus:
Take me where you wanna go
We'll be who you wanna be
All I needed was your touch
All I want is you and me
We'll sing the love songs you once sung
And you'll be in my dream
Until the world is one
You can take back all your secrets, we'll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames, cut me out, yeah I'll be fine
Tell the neighbors all my feelings, go on and give away my pride
It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night
Keep your Rolodex of friends and all the remnants can be mine
I guess, there'll be no happy endings when 'Once upon' is doing time
There's a different kind of meaning now to livin' on a prayer
Oh some don't seem to notice and the rest don't seem to care
I tell myself I
(Feel no pain)
But I'm feeling the pain
(Walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle running through my veins
I've changed my name to Novocaine
You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage
(Let's get this straight)
Burned my favorite sweats from high school, tried to sell my muscle car
(That's not okay)
Your mother's gonna visit for a couple of months this year
They say you do the crime, do the time, it's all so clear
I tell myself I
(Feel no pain)
But I'm feeling the pain
(Walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
I've changed my name to Novocaine, Novocaine
(Feel no pain)
Well things ain't what they used to be
It's a sleepless, self-help century
Man, I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me
I tell myself to feel no pain
But I'm feeling the pain
(Walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
I've changed my name to Novocaine
(Feel no pain)
Novocaine, Novocaine
(Feel no pain)
Novocaine, I feel no pain
We've been through this all before a thousand times
Come on, come on, come on, tell me what's on your mind
Doesn't matter, baby, what I say
It all amounts to nothing anyway
When push comes to shove, it's never enough
It always comes down to something
Chorus:
How could I live? Why would I try?
I've been learning to live without you but that's a lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something but all that's ever left is nothing
(All that's ever left is nothing)
I thought I saw you reach out, thought I saw you try
Waiting here for something, nothing is all I find
Kneeling at your altar, standing on the shore
I'm waiting out, now listen, I'm outside your door
When push comes to shove, it's never enough
It always comes down to something
Chorus
I won't give up
I won't give upno
`Cause you know I won't let you down
How could I live? Why would I try?
I could learn to live without you but I would die
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something but all that's ever left is nothing
Why would I try?
I've been learning to live without you but that's lot
No giving in or saying goodbye
Seems there's always something but all that's ever left is nothing
I won't give up
I won't give upno
`Cause you know I won't let you down
You know I won't let you down
No Apology (No Apology)
We will not back down (No Apology)
We are not afraid (No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt
Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train-track kid
Fighting for survival
Trying not to do like his daddy did
Double down the devil at three, caught morning
No apology, he just knew when to quit
Push your luck, say your prayers
Make believe you don't care
Take a chance, sometimes it's all you need
No Apology
No Apology (No Apology)
We will not back down (No Apology)
We are not afraid (No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt (No Apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies
No Apologies
You wanna start a personal revolution
Think of living somebody else's life
You can lie about retribution
But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes
Seems like everybody's selling you dreams 'round here
But no one's buying and its closing time
Light the fuse, make your break, there's no time left to waste
Baby just like freedom, nothin's free
No Apology
No Apology (No Apology)
We will not back down (No Apology)
We are not afraid (No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt (No Apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies
You wanna start a personal revolution
What else you gotta do tonight
No Apology
No Apology (No Apology)
We will not back down (No Apology)
We are not afraid (No Apology)
Not a drop of doubt (No Apology)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No Apologies (No Apology)
No Apology (No Apology)
No Apology
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through
I'll believe
When you don't believe in anything
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I, when I think that I'm losing my mind
It all comes back to you
And you, you know that it's true
After all we've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Stand by me
And I would gladly give up everything
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night
And you were lonesome as a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane
And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever
Never say die, never say die
I guess you'd say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (that's right)
Still they remained unspoken
And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell
Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother those things change
'Cause love is just another word for trust
So hear me when I say
Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning)
Through the pouring rain (through the rain)
And we'll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right)
They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want written)
On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie)
Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that died there)
So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry)
My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
And it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world good bye
Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
And wound you with her eyes
She'll always make it better
Won't apologize
You know everything about her
But don't know her at all
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
Ah, she's a ride
Mystery train
She cries because she's happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you knew her
You knew she was the one
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kanstus anymore
Now she's a ride
Mystery train
I know everything about her
But don't know her at all
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place I've never been before
I waited all my life for that mystery train
You're not in Kanstus anymore
She's a ride
On a mystery train
She's a ride
(Paul Simon)
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Ev'ry way you look at it, you lose
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
I've always wanted what I couldn't have
I hope and dream that maybe someday
That I'd find out what love was all about
I sure grew up tonight the hard way
Now the candy store's closed, the movie's sold out
High Plains Drifter isn't what it's all about
And now were parting ways, I won't say a word
Let our broken hearts cry in their graves
Where they'll never be heard
It's more than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away
Last night I saw you out with my best friend
When I'm with you I see him in your eyes
I want to hold you but I don't understand
There's something there that's so hard to disguise
Now tears run down your face, as you walk through the night
Those cold empty streets leave you wondering what's right
As you walk away with your broken heart
Don't you try to deny that true love had torn you apart
More than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away
It's more than we bargained for
It's more than we bargained for
More than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
It's slippin' away
More than we bargained for
Our love is the price weve paid
And just like a fading dream....
Should I? Could I?
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine
You cried, I died
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
I'm wasting time when I think about it
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Could I? Should I?
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again
You cried, I tried
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good
It's you and I, just think about it...
I should have drove all night
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
(written by: Vedran Devcic)
I used to live but now I survive
I used to believe but now it's just one day at a time
The circus is gone, it's all packed away
The clown's hat, the makeup's been packed in his case
Chorus:
So we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July
The stars that we reached for left us with nothing but dawn
I used to laugh but I've learned to cry
For I ain't too proud to let you see tears fall from these eyes
For all of my hopes, my heartaches and fears
For a night I just watched and you walked out of here
Chorus:
I just waved goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we never tried, Miss Fourth of July
The crown that we reached for left us with nothing
But your thorns left me wounded not unlike the truth
When innocence sang his last song
He'd tell me that it's all gone
Just look me in the eyes and say it meant nothing at all
- solo -
I used to live, now I've learned to die
And I used to dream I used to dream
Chorus:
So now we wave goodbye to Miss Fourth of July
The queen of the roses has left us with nothing but thorns
Don't say we've never tried, Miss Fourth of July
The stars that we reached for, they've left us with nothing but dawn
Oh, yeah
Nothing but a heavy hit of heartbreak
The kids round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove
Gothic girls all dressed in black
Serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whisky stains
Lost the night, forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
And it ain't hard to understand
Why she's holding onto her own hand
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy ... saving me (shalalala, shalala)
I've seen a lone sloane ranger drive
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to the Sun
And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
Chase their shadows in the dark
Someone's getting off tonight
A big red bus that's packed so tight disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's alright....
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's pinned their dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
When Chelsea girls sing
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh, oh ...
It's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on
A baby's born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye
I leave my soul and just move on
And wish that I was there to sing this song
(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Oh, midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) woh (shalalala, shalala) yeah
No one's pinned their dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
The man I wanna be, the man I wanna be (shalalala, shalala)
Seems like years since I've been home
Living this dream on the endless roads
Faces in the crowd, they stare at me
Yours is the only one I wanted to see
My heart cries out for sympathy
But I need to hold you next to me
And it won't be long, baby
Maybe tomorrow
These hotel rooms they're all the same
Only the number on the door will be changed
Lord I gotta do me one more show
Then it's into the bus and off we go
Should have talked to you
Well I don't have to try
When I find the music in your eyes
And I'm telling myself that we'll take that ride, baby
Maybe tomorrow
I should've talked to you
Well I don't got to try
Where I can find the music in your eyes
We're all blind, two lovers, into the night
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
R.Sambora
Made in America
Nineteen fifty nine
Born down by the factories
Cross the Jersey City line
Raised on radio
Just a jukebox kid
I was alright
Just a small town homeboy
With big time dreams
Following his conscience
In a world full of extremes
Fresh outta high school
Only seventeen
I was alright
Blinded by my vision
There was just no turning back
Like a runaway train
Life was steaming down the track
You said I'd never make it out
But I kept on hanging on
Every night I prayed to Jesus
And held my head up strong
I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
My old man's independence
Seemed good enough for me
I was made in America
Made in America
Never cared much about politics
Till I was twenty one
But I woke up when Lennon
Found the wrong end of a gun
He left his inspiration
Before he said boodbye
And we were alright
We all lose out innocence
It's impossible to hold
I didn't know it then
I had a pocket full of gold
When I kissed those younger days goodbye
It almost broke my heart
I was going to through my growing pains
I was driving in the dark
But I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
I'm facing up to freedom
And chacing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America
Yeah we all lose our innocence
It's impossible to hold
I just didn't know it then
I had a pocket full of gold
When they said I'd never make it
I just kept on hanging on
And every night I prayed to Jesus
And I held my head up strong
And I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
Facing up to who I am
Chasing down my dream
I was made in America
She counts the days away and waits for valentines
She says every girl in the past is just a waste of time
You know, whoa
She don't believe in miracles and make-believe
If you were blind you still could see
That she believes in me, Ohhhh
Feels like I found a pocket full of gold
I'm lucky baby
So lucky baby
Lucky to be with you today
Lucky to be the one to say "I'm lucky baby"
So lucky baby
Whenever I see your smiling face
Lucky to be the one to be lucky
Now all of heaven's angels have to wear their wings
She likes cheap sunglasses and diamond rings
You know, ohhh
She brings sunshine to a cloudy day
When we walk on by people stop and say
I'm lucky baby
So lucky baby
Lucky to be with you today
Lucky to be the one to say "I'm lucky baby"
So lucky baby
Whenever I see your smiling face
Lucky to be the one to be lucky
I'm lucky baby
So lucky baby
Lucky to be with you today
Lucky to be the one to say "I'm lucky baby"
I'm lucky baby
I got lucky when you found me
It only took one kiss to see
What did I do to get to be so lucky baby?
I'm lucky baby
Lucky baby
Lucky baby
I'm lucky baby
So lucky baby
Lucky to be with you today
Lucky to be the one to say "I'm lucky baby"
I'm lucky baby
Whenever I see your smiling face
This world don't give you nothing
It can't take away
Everybody holding on to something
Nobody want to fade away
No forgiveness on the streets of this town
I left my patience at a traffic light
There's no denying that I almost lost it
Threw in the towel, too tired to fight
Tonight I need you
More than yesterday
Tonight I need you
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
These days I'd trade sight for feeling
There are days my feeling's gone
Can't figure out whose life I'm living
I don't know right from wrong
When I lost faith
You found it and gave it back to me
There's a new light on your halo
It took blind eyes to see
That I need you
More than yesterday
Yea, I need you
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come on make me feel it
Rescue me
Come on take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come on make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
Come on, love me back to life
Love me back to life
I was lost, then I found you
Never thought it would be this way
I showed you my heart, left it unguarded
Like a thief in the night you stole it away
Now you're gone, the pain goes on and on
I still hear you whispering to me through the shadows of the night
Love lies, you're just a victim of the headlines
You're running on into a cold night
You're just a number of the love lies
All alone you call it survival
He lost at love to a stranger's lines
Walking the streets, searching with vengeance
For a face that he dreams of night after night
Time goes on, all signs of life stolen, simple dreams were all broken
Best of times become desperation but how many tears must you cry to survive
They met late one night in the city
Both men knew only one would stay
Scratched a picture of a heart on a bullet
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive
Thinking 'bout her destination, a tattered bag was all she had in life
She turned her back on her family, she turned her back on her friends
She turned her back on a married man when she took off that wedding ring
She said, I'm giving up, silver clouds are turning grey
Had enough, there's got to be a better way
Giving up, you know you've gotta walk
There's some things in life still worth fighting for
Chorus:
Ain't no big secret so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint' nothing
This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that there'll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
Givein' up, nothing's changing but the score
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
It ain't nothing worth dying for
Chorus:
It's no big secret so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing
Forget your mama's rosary beads to get you through this time of need
You know you gotta cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning grey
I'm heading for a better day
Chorus:
No big secret so forget all you heard
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint' nothing (it ain't nothing now, baby)
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing (nothing now, baby)
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Love ain't nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word
Hey hey! Hey hey!
In my rear view mirror, my life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure, life changes like the weather
You grow up, grow old or you hit the road 'round here
So I drive, watching white lines passing by
With my plastic dashboard Jesus waiting there to greet us
Hey hey! I finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm letting go, out on this open road
It's Independence Day on this lost highway
Hey hey! Hey hey!
I don't know where I'm going but I know where I've been
And I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive, years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Hey hey! I've finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
Yeah, I'm busting loose, I'm letting go, out on this open road
It's Independence Day on this lost highway
Hey hey! Hey hey!
Oh 'Patron Saint of Lonely Souls' tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car, you got the keys, farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise-control and turning up the radio
Got just enough religion and a half tank of gas, come on, let's go!
I've finally found my way, say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas, there ain't no brakes on this lost highway
I'm busting loose, I'm letting go, well, I'm out on this open road
It's Independence Day on this lost highway
Hey hey! Hey hey!
I don't need no license
To sign on no line
And I don't need no preacher
To tell me you're mine
I don't need no diamonds
I don't need no new bride
I just need you, baby
To look me in the eyes
I know they have a hard time
And your daddy don't approve
But I don't need your daddy
Telling us what we should do
Now there's a million questions
I could ask about our lives
But I only need one answer
To get me through the night
So I say, baby, can you tell me just where we fit in?
I call it love they call it livin' in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in?
I say we're livin' on love they say we're livin' in sin
Is it right for both our parents
Who fight it out most nights
Then pray for God's forgiveness
When they both turn out the lights?
Or wear that ring of diamonds
When your heart is made of stone?
You can talk but still say nothing
You stay together but alone
Or is it right to hold you
And kiss your lips goodnight?
They say the promise is forever
If you sign it on the dotted line
Baby, can you tell me just where we fit in?
I call it love they call it livin' in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in?
I say we're living on love they say we're livin' in sin
Baby, can you tell me just where we fit in?
I call it love they call it livin' in sin
Is it you and me or just this world we live in?
We're living on love or are we livin' in sin?
I don't know just where we fit
Sometimes it scares me
I don't know where to begin
I don't know where we fit in
I was a little boy of 9 years old
The whole world in my hands
Trying to toss that ball across the yard
A game of catch with my old man
He would always say I’m sorry
Every time he had to leave
And I was much too young to understand
When he would say to me
When you're young you always think
The sun is going to shine
There will come a day
When you have to say hello to goodbye
Sit down son come take my hand,
Look me in the eye
Take these words, promise me
You'll live before you die
I was barely seventeen summer of seventy-nine
Already I was feeling like I was running out of time
I had this girl we fell in love
Or should I say that she had me
Then one fateful night changed our lives
And made a memory
When you're young you always think
The sun is going to shine
There will come a day
When you have to say hello to goodbye
She laid me down she took my hand
And looked me in the eye
And just before she kissed me she said
You got to live before we die, live before you die
You learn to love to live
You fight and you forgive
You learn what's wrong and right
You live before you die
I made mistakes I caught some breaks
But I got not regrets
There's some things I don't remember
But one thing I don't forget
When you're young you always think
The sun is going to shine
One day you're going to have to say hello to goodbye
Shout it out let someone somewhere
Know that you're alive
Take these words wear them well
Live before you die
Live before you die
Hey!
Live before you die
You learn to love to live
You fight and you forgive
You face the darkest night
You been robbed
You been used
You been crucified and
You been abused
You been sacrificen and
Now you're confused
Ain't it the truth
You got a hole in your head
And a cold empty spot
In your big brass bed
When you're mad at the world and
You feel like you're losing control
All you need to get by is
A little bit o soul
When you've lost in the flood
And you feel like you been
Kicked through the mud
You know they still
Haven't found the drug
To pick us up
Feeling down, misunderstood
You know these times
They ain't looking so good
When you're mad at the world and
You feel like you're losing control
What we all need to get by is
A little o soul
Whoa oh
Little bit of soul
What we all need
To survive
Is just
A little bit o soul
Everyone's complaining
Nothing but frustration
The king has pissed in
Your pot of gold
It ain't entertaining spending
So much time in the hole
Send down
A little bit o soul
When you're mad at the world
And you feel like
You're losing control
What we all need
To get by is just
A little bit o soul
Whoa oh little bit o soul
Whoa oh little bit o soul
I'll be there to hold you by the hand
When you need someone to walk you home
You know that I'll be there to understand
When you call me on the phone
I'll be there to watch you when you sleep
When you close your eyes at night
And I'll be there to keep your secrets kept,
Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear each word is true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I'll be there when you need a real friend
I'll be there to listen to your secrets
I'll be there and give you all I've got
I'll be there when you paint your masterpiece
And I'll be right beside your every move
I'll give you my eyes so you can see
And I'll help you to find the things you've lost
When you're busting at the seams
I swear each word is true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love you
Chorus:
Nobody wants you like I want you
Nobody needs you like I need you
You know I would beg and plead, get down on my knees
I'd do most anything, it's true
But I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love you
'Cause I love you
I'll be there to love the things you love
I'll be the one who knows your middle name
Be the only one that you can trust
I'll give you the blood that's in my veins
I swear these words are true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I ain't gonna love you
Chorus:
'Cause nobody wants you like I want you
Nobody needs you like I need you
You know I would beg and please, get down on my knees
Do most anything for you
But I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love

When I look in your eyes I can feel the fire.
A see through disguise cant conceal desire
I've been readin your lips, they don't need no translation
They want more than a kiss, I come to make my donation
So turn out the lights, I'm going down slowly.
Don't tell me what's right. Just tell me you want me.
Tell me you want me.
Just tell me you want me, want me, want me
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Come, come, come a little bit closer
I want to play doctor.
It keeps getting harder, harder, harder to keep me away
I want to taste the sweat thats runnin' off of your body.
Get the sheets all wet, I wanna make you feel naughty
Lets make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Turn out the lights
Don't tell me you love me
Just tell me you want me,
Dont tell me you love me
Tell me you want me, want me, want me, want me, want me, want me, want me
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
Let's make it baby
The weekend comes to this town
Seven days too soon
For the ones who have to make up
What we break up of their rules
Well I saw Captain Kidd on Sunset
Tell his boys they're in command
While Chino danced a tango
With a broomstick in his hand
He said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
To break on through to the other side
Let it rock, let it go
You can't stop a fire burning out of control
Let it rock, let it go
With the night you're on the loose
You got to let it rock
We go down to the Broadway
Where everybody goes
To get on their rockin' horse
And blast that radio
Well I saw Roxie on the table
Her girlfriend down below
They'll give it to the king of swing
Before it's time to go
They said: It's alright (alright) if you have a good time
It's alright (alright) if you want to cross that line
I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette, oh
Yeah, we've been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
I'll take my past and paint it black
Now this circus has left town
This clown has gotta get his feet back on the ground
I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall )
I had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
Now I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was standing in the light
There were faces all around
I put my gloves up for the fight
One sucker punch and I was down
I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was flying through the clouds
Pucker up, it's time to kiss the ground
I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Now I got the hang of it (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall)
Yeah I got the hang of it, (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall)
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Gonna lay my cards out on the table
'Cause you're mine, I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made are meant for breaking
What you get ain't always what you see
But satisfaction is guaranteed
But what you give is always what you need
If you want me to lay my hands on you
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Lay your
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Lay your
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Hands
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
On me
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
I'm a fighter, poet
And a preacher
I've been to school
Baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me
How to get up off the ground
I'll show you how to fly
And never come back down
Everything you want is what I need
Satisfaction is guaranteed
But the ride, never comes for free, so
If you want me to lay
My hands on you
(Lay your hands on me)
(Lay your hands on me)
(Lay your hands on me)
(Lay your hands on me)
Lay your
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Hands
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
On me
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Lay your
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Yeah yeah
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
On me
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Don't you know I only aim to please
So if you want me to lay
My hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lift me up, take me high
Lift me up
Lay your
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Hands
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
On me
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Lay your
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
On me
(Lay your hands on me, lay your hands on me)
(Lay your hands on me)
(Lay your hands on me)
(Lay your hands on me)
Come see a living, breathing spectacle
Only seen right here
It's your last chance in this lifetime
The line forms at the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe your ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here
You ain't seen nothing like him
He's the last one of the breed
You better hold on to your honey
Honeys, don't forget to breathe
Enter at your own risk, mister
It might change the way you think
There's no dancers, there's no diamonds
No this boy he don't lip synch
[Chorus]
Here's the last man standing
Step right up, he's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing
See those real live calloused fingers
Wrapped around those guitar strings
Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered
It breaks the heart to hear him sing
The songs were more than music They were pictures from the soul
So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
And your digital downloads
[Chorus]
Take your seats now, folks. It's show time.
Hey, Patrick hit the lights
There's something in the air
There's magic in the night
Now here's the band, they really play
I'll count the first one in
I don't know where it's going
We all know where it's been
October leaves are falling, so am I
A harvest moon is calling me and I know why
The traffic's like a symphony in blue
In the autumn air I smell your sweet perfume
I miss you sitting cross-legged in this empty room
Yesterdays are eating me alive
I'm your angel, baby - I've got broken wings
I can't walk, I can't run, I can't drop until you're next to me, so the only
thing
Chorus:
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower the station, I know my destination
Love bring me home again
You try to reach me but I've sailed away
You tried to read me but my words got in the way
The music's over but the dance has just begun
I wish that I could just get back to Baltimore
You know I'd scratch, I'd claw, I'd scream 'til I'm raw, just to fall down at
your door
Chorus:
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love bring me home again
Let the scarecrows laugh coming down the tracks
At the broken hearts that don't come back
'Cause the train has left the station with my pain
Let them forget my name, oh
I'm on a last chance train
Sitting here I smoke my nineteenth cigarette
Now all that's left are ashes, butts and my regrets
It's your taste that I just can't forget
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Let the scarecrows laugh coming down the tracks
At the broken hearts that don't come back
We'll be laughing at them, crying in the rain
It's you and I again, oh..
Chorus:
You gotta meet me tonight
I'm on a last chance train
Leave a flower at the station, I know my destination
Love bring me home again
I'm on a last chance train
It's gonna bring me home to you
Hey, man, it's been a while
Do you remember me?
When I hit the streets I was 17
A little wild, a little green
I've been up and down and in between
After all these years and miles of memories
I'm still chasing dreams
But I ain't looking over my shoulder
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old - just older
It's good to see your face
You ain't no worse for wear
Breathing that California air
When we took on the world
When we were young and brave
We got secrets that we'll take to the grave
And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
It's not old - just older
I'm not old enough to sing the blues
But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes
You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff
But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose
Well, I look in the mirror
I don't hate what I see
There's a few more lines staring back at me
Now the nights has grown a little colder
Hey man, I gotta run
Now you take care
If you see coach T. Tell him I've cut my hair
I've kept my faith
I still belive I'm just...
I like the bed I'm sleeping in
It's just like me, it's broken in
It's not old - just older
Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans
This skin I'm in it's alright with me
You take and you take without giving
Like the ride is never going to end
You think you know who's going to Heaven
Well I know I'm going to see you again
On Judgement Day
Others, they walk the bad road
If you do you better watch what you say
You think that you can hide in your shadow
But it's your shadow gonna ruin your way
On Judgement Day
You walk through the fire, no where to run to, no one to blame
Cause Hey, Hey, Hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgement Day
Some people they call me brother
Some people they say that they care
Some people they steal from the Heavens above
It's going to be a cross to bear
On Judgement Day
You walk through the fire
With nowhere to run to, no one to blame
Well Hey, Hey, Hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
On Judgement Day
It's just you and me
I won't fade away
Let's face up to the truth
It's our own Judgement Day
On Judgement Day
You walk through the fire
Nowhere to run to, no one to blame
Hey, Hey, Hey
Winners and losers, sinners and users, will all have to pay
I got no time for the corner boys
Down in the street making all that noise
Or the girls out on the avenue
'Cause tonight I wanna be with you
Tonight I'm gonna take that ride
Across the river to the Jersey side
Take my baby to the carnival
And I'll take her on all the rides
'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
You know all my dreams come true
When I'm walking down the street with you
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl
You know she thrills me with all her charms
When I'm wrapped up in my baby's arms
My little girl gives me everything
I know that some day she'll wear my ring
So don't bother me man I ain't got no time
I'm on my way to see that girl of mine
'Cause nothing matters in this whole wide world
When you're in love with a Jersey girl
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la I'm in love with a Jersey girl
I see you on the street and you look so tired
I know that job you got leaves you so uninspired
When I come by to take you out to eat
You're lyin' all dressed up on the bed baby fast asleep
Go in the bathroom and put your makeup on
We're gonna take that little brat of yours and drop her off at your mom's
I know a place where the dancing's free
Now baby won't you come with me
'Cause down the shore everything's all right
You and your baby on a Saturday night
Nothing matters in this whole wide world
You know your favorite old pair of shoes
The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose
Your favorite record that's all scratched and used
But still you love to play when your feeling blue
That faded rose that's all dried out
Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without
Your high school picture when you had wild hair
That stormy day on the beach that got us here
And oh, you better believe
There's just one thing you need, oh, can't you see ...
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's just one thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby (it's just me)
Just like a shadow 10 feet tall
Standing right behind you should you fall
I'll be the one to hold you up to walk
When this wicked world makes us want to crawl
And if your waves should ever break at sea
I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach
I'm the same old dog, scratching those same fleas
I'll be by your side, you can count on me
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's just one thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see ?
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me ? oh...
Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks every time you go away
But it's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's one more thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see ?
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me ?
And if someday some new memory comes along
Looking shiny, new, feeling really strong
You can tell him that I'll tell him he can just move on
I'm a fighter, I've been fighting for you all night long
Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get ya.
Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone I got another show
One more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Is all she left of her with me
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin'
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
When we're together
In and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm saying
In and out of love
It's the way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
She's gonna get you
If I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hand?
Would you say you were my baby?
Would you always be my friend?
If I was your mother
Could I teach you what's right?
Could I tell you stories?
Maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight
Oh, tell me what I got to do?
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your mother
Would you always believe me?
Because I'd wake up in the middle
Of the night
Just to see if you need me
Tell me there's no other
With whom you're sharing your secrets
And would you tell me 'bout all the boys
You been bringing home to meet me
Oh, tell me what I've got to do?
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I got to be?
To make you a part of me
No one else you'd ever need
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
When love is blood
You're never on trial
Love don't get deeper
Than a mother and child
Oh baby, I got to get that close to you
Tell me what I've got to do?
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I got to be?
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd ever need
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
Yeah, mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
If I was your mother, mother
Seven days of saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
Don't need no Mondays
Or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed
But baby I don't like to sleep no
I won't lie to you
I'm never gonna cry to you
I'll probably drive you wild 8 days a week
Until I'm 6 feet under
Baby I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
So you're looking for some action
I got got everything you need
Better keep your motor running
'cause I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party
Got no time for catching z's
If they say that that ain't healthy
Well then living's a disease
We're never going to die baby
Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's Eve
Till I'm six feet under
I won't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive,
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Seven days of Saturday
Is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday
'Cause I don't rest in peace
I was born to live
You know I wasn't born to die
But if they party down in heaven
I'll be sure to be on time
Until I'm six feet under
I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till they roll me over
And lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
I feel like I'm exploding
Going out of my head
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Till I'm six feet under
And they lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide
You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God
You'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
The last time I saw her
Was the night she said goodbye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by, yes she did
As she packed up her belongings
Baby wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face
As we both tried so hard not to cry, she said
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I tried so hard to remember
Where, when, how, why? Love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But your memory kept on my mind, yes you did
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, baby
All the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the skies blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
Built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you, yeah
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I want you, I want you
Baby, I want you
But never thought you were alone
I filled the part of you with company
But never made our house a home
All I've got is my guitar
These chords and the truth
All I've got is my guitar
But all I want, baby all I want
I never wanted the stars
Never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the truth
All I'm trying to say
Is all I wanted was you
I want you, I want you
Baby, I want you
I want you, I want you
Baby, I want you
I want you, I want you
Baby, I want you
I want you, I want you
You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did
And I thank you
You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
If you took your love to someone else
I know what I meant to be the loving dare
You made me feel like I've never felt
Your kiss is so good, I got the holler for help
You didn't have to squeeze me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
Now every day there's something new
You put your make-up and your mild perfume
You got me trying to do things, too
Just so that I can keep up with you
You didn't have to shake me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to make me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
All my life I've been short changed
Without your love it would be a crying shame
Now I know what love I'm looking for
When they say they're being turned on
I wanna thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you, baby, thank you, thank you I got to say
You didn't have to love me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
You didn't have to hold me, like you did
But you didn't, but you did, and I thank you
I wanna thank you, baby I wanna thank you, let me count the ways
Let me thank you, baby, baby I've got something to say
Thank you baby
Let me count the ways, for the whole wide world to hear, oh yeah
Now thank you for paying for my cold beer
I wanna thank you for being here with me baby
Thank you for understanding why I was out so late last night
Thank you for giving me your best friend's phone number
I always knew, that I'd like this place
You don't have to look too far, to find a friendly face
I feel alive when I'm walkin' on the street
I feel the heart of the city poundin' underneath my feet
[CHORUS]
Yeahhhhh let the world keep spinnin round 'n' round
This is where it's goin' down, down, down
That's why I, love this town
That's why I, keep co-min' round
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
You make me feel at home some how, right, now
That's why I, love this town
I've got some good friends here, I might have broke a heart or two
It's gettin' loud over there, they boys must have had a few
And hey the cop on the corner, he knows everybody's name
And a kid with a dream singin' for some spare loose change
[CHORUS]
Yeahhhhh let the world keep spinnin round 'n' round
This is where it's goin' down, down, down
That's why I, love this town
That's why I, keep co-min' round
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
You make me feel at home some how, right, now
That's why I, love this town
[GUITAR SOLO]
There's shoutin' from the rooftops
Dancin' on the bars
Hangin' out the window
Drivin' in their famous cars
You want it? You got it
You ready? I'm on it
Come on now, here we go agaiiinnnnnn....
That's why I, love this town
That's why I, love this town
No matter where you're from, tonight you're from right here
This is where it all goes down, down, down
That's why I, love this town
[REPEAT x3]
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
I love this town
[END REPEAT]
Say hey (say hey) say yeah (say yeah)
I lo-ove this town
It feels like I'm walkin' on air
Walk down our street
When the neighbors stop an' watch us goin' by
You can hear 'em talkin'
(Ah let them talk)
Sometimes I think that you're the one reason
The sun still shines
(When it shines)
And when this wicked world starts bringin' me down
I tell myself that I'm one lucky guy
I got the girl
(Holdin' all the cards)
I got the girl
(She's a work of art)
I got the girl
(Who's gonna break my heart)
She likes to wear her stripes in her plaits
Won't brush her hair
(I swear)
She don't like wearin' shoes in December
But I don't care
What she wears
I got the girl
(Holdin' all the cards)
I got the girl
(She's a work of art)
I got the girl
(Who's gonna, break my heart)
Ah, if I were a Holy man, I'd get down on my knees
So the Angels that watch over her would give a break to me
Holy Mother of Saint Bubble Gum and Sister Band Aid knees
Won't you please pray for the ones like me
(Yea)
But she feels someday
Somebody is gonna take her from me
But the queen of hearts will always be
A five-year old princess to me
To me
I got the girl
(Who know all the cards)
I got the girl
(She's a work of art)
I got the girl
(Who's gonna, break your heart)
I got the girl
(She's gonna read your mind)
I got the girl
(Ah, she's a work of art)
I got the girl
(She's gonna, break your heart)
I got the girl
(Oh yea)
I got the girl
(Oh my)
I got the girl
She's gonna, ah, she's gonna
I got the girl
I got the girl
I got the girl
Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight
Feels like I'm coming home back to you, back to you
Every chance that I take
Every wrong turn and every mistake
Is a step on the road back to you
And I'm alive
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
And my goal, I see you, you're as close as the hole in my shoe
And when I'm feeling used, I'm renewed, I get high
I can fly, I've got wings
I've got riches that money can't bring
I've got more than a king, I've got you
And baby, that's alright
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
From you, everything you do
I call it love
Yeah, I get a rush, I get a rush
Every day of my life has been leading me here tonight
And wherever I roam I'm heading back home to you
Back to you
Chorus:
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
I like it, I like it, I can't get enough
I like it, I like it, yeah, I get a rush
I like what I like and I like it too much
You know what I like, yeah, I get a rush
From you, everything you do

The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And Daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
with the problems and the how's and why's
and he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh
And the silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload, oh
and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like , I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like , I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
Now I've always been a dreamer
I've had these fantasies run through my mind
The vivid memories of days we spent together
They seem so long ago
Why'd you have to leave me, why'd you let me go
We're used to chasing rainbows, but they're not hard to find
My baby used to love me, fame left it all behind
Now I've become a prisoner, locked up behind four walls
You say I've got life easy, but I've got no life at all
So now I've made the grade, they know who I am
I've made it to the top a lonely man
Those hot lights and Hollywood dreams
Can't bring back the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood Dreams
Smile for the cameras is all they ever say
Transmitting my emotions a thousand miles away
They chase me through the streets, calling out my name
I'm coming home to you, this life is driving me insane
Climbing up those stairs, knocking on the door
She don't recognize me or want me anymore
Those hot lights and Hollywood dreams
Can't bring back, the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood Dreams
Those hot lights and Hollywood Dreams
Can't bring back the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood dreams
Hot lights and Hollywood dreams
Can't bring back, the love that you gave to me
Headlines and star on the rise
I lost you chasing those Hollywood dreams
Hot Lights
The spot lights can't bring back youre love to me
{Ok ready, just about, let's go}
Hey God, just a little man I got a wife and family
But I almost lost my house, I bought into the dream
We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in a way to deep
We're two paychecks away from livin' out on the streets
She's a workin' single Mom, like a Saint she don't complain
She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame
Her son just got convicted, he blew some cop away
She did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way
Hey God, tell me what the hell is going on
It seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on getting harder hangin' on
But hey hey hey hey God
Did not to know want to scream
These days you've even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be but, hey hey hey God
Do you ever think about me?
Born to the Ghetto 1991, just a happy child
Playin' beneath the summer sun
Vacant lots' his playground, by twelve he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him, junior don't make twenty-one
Hey God, tell me what the hell is goin' on
It seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on getting harder hangin' on
Hey hey hey hey God
Did not to know want to scream
These days you've even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, hey hey hey God
Do you ever think about me?
I'd get down on my knees
I'm goin' to try this thing your way
I h've seen a dyin' man too proud to beg, spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save?
Or did you even know his name?
Are you the one to blame? Ha I got something to say
Hey God, tell me what the hell is goin' on
It seems like all the good shit's gone
It keeps on getting harder hangin' on
Hey, hey, hey, hey God
Did not to know want to scream
These days you've even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be, hey hey hey God
Do you ever think about me?
Do you ever think about me?
Oh hey God, hey God do you think about me?
Do you ever think about me?
Hey hey hey hey God
Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy lived a lie, it's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away
Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day
Have a nice day
Take a look around you, nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I knocked on every door down every dead end street
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe?
Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, and show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day
Have a nice day
Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, and show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day
Have a nice day, have a nice day
When the world keeps trying, to drag me down
I've gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground
I say, hey, have a nice day
Have a nice day, have a nice day
R.Sambora
It's amazing
We go through changes
When times get crazy
It's up and down,it's hot and cold
These complications
Just keep on coming
These ain't no running
When it comes to life that's how it goes
'Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
We're on a roller coaster ride
Baby don't you know
It could eat up
If you try and keep it all inside
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin' on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby
There's gonna be thunder
There's gonna be rain
There's gonna be those times
We both get caught up in the pain
The realization
Keeps sinkin' in
The way you make it
Is learn to take it on the chin
'Round and round we go
It's just another day
With trouble knockin' at your door
Baby don't you know
We can work it out
'Cause we always seem to find a cure
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin' on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby
'Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
We're on a roller coaster ride
Baby don't you know
We'll keep holdin' on
Through the changes that we feel inside
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin' on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That David played to please the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from the lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Yeah, baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on that marble arch
Your love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What was going on below
Now you don't never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, now maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not your cry that I hear at night, no
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
A little white picket fence around your heart
It’s everything you wanted, now it’s tearing you apart
You’re gonna raise a family now but you don’t know where to start
I remember you
Me, I pack a suitcase and move from town to town
A little east of Eden, too late to turn around
Marionettes on wires, we dance out of control
I remember you
Are you crying in your sleep tonight
When you’re lying with him do you turn out the light
Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world I will be the ghost in your heart
The ghost in your heart
When you said you couldn’t take it and you had to settle down
Then I was the wild one with both feet off the ground
I could never understand you but I loved you anyhow
I remember now
Are you crying in your sleep tonight
When you’re lying with him do you turn out the light
Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world I will be the ghost in your heart
The ghost in your heart, yeah
Something in the first kiss that’s written in the sand
We held it for a moment but it slipped straight through our hands
Stare at your reflection and sometimes see my face
I remember you, you remember too
Are you crying in your sleep tonight
When you’re lying with him do you turn out the light
Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world
Are you crying in your sleep tonight
Are you lying with him, thinking ‘bout me tonight
Are you hiding in your dreams tonight
In your world I will be the ghost in your heart
The ghost in your heart, in your heart, in your heart

They judge you by your money
Or the color of your skin
They read you by the cover
Don't take time to read within
They judge you without jury
And you struggle to believe
No one could hear your story
Even justice had to leave
Chorus:
All I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
They build the walls around you
And they tell you you don't fit
And still you think you know me
You don't know the half of it
I'm a beggar, you're a savior
I'm your devil, you're a thief
I'll be here until you realize
I'm you and you are me
Chorus:
All that I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
All that I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Do the cuts bleed any different
On a pauper or a king?
When it comes down to dying
The crown don't mean a thing
No, no, no
Chorus:
(All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is on all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
(All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
I see you looking over your shoulder
Tell me who do you think's out there
You're reaching for your four leaf clover
But baby there ain't no luck down there
I swear that there's no heart in this city
It's here the slogan reads
"Do your time" everybody's doing
their sentence
It's just there ain't nobody here
Who knows just what's the crime
I watched my father live a lie here
I'd rather die than fade away
I read the rules
And yeah I know them
Still you ain't ever gonna
Make me play the game of
Fear
Fear
Fear
Fear
Running with the rats
Through the city
Makes you feel like you're
A partner in crime
Girl once you won't stop to watch
That little girl did
Hey baby won't you stop and hear me
Just being here we're
breathing heart attacks
We can run and chase
The setting sun we can run
And we won't ever look back
Take my hand I know we'll make it
I'll let nothing slow us down
I know you want to curse
This place but there's only
One thing that's stopping us now
Fear fear fear
Of a new thing
Fear fear fear
Of the brass ring
You ain't one for taking chances
You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5
Still that's what you call living
That's surviving to me
And surviving is living to die in
(Sambora, Child)
Father time
I couldn't make her wanna stay
I couldn't seem to find the words to say
Now I have to live in yesterday
Father time
I thought that you were on my side
I thought that I could keep our love alive
I thought that I could keep her satisfied
The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
Now she's gone
She didn't even say goodbye
I guess she didn't have the heart to try
She didn't even have the guts to lie
Father time
Only you can turn the page
And close the curtain on this empty stage
Only you can take my pain away
My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you
It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you
I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
She's your child make her mine
I've been staring at the page for what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes ?
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried ?
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you (hey now)
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you (hey now)
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I can never escape you
So let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark (hey now)
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud ?
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
Maybe I've lost my guts
There, is that truth enough ?
Hey now, hey now...
You know these love letters mix with whisky
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon (hey now)
Hey now, hey now, hey now, am I talking just a little too loud ?
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud ?
"And there I stood, just like a soldier
I was tough, until I saw her
I said Hello, but she just turned away
Hey Romeo, whatcha doin' with my girl,
who are you using now, well I turn and walk away (Turn and walk away)
I'm gonna please her, now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch her when she falls
Oooo, here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm a man (On the edge of a broken heart)
Here we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the outside, looking inside
You're with him, who's on the wrong side now
Do you still think of me
I've tried to call, but no one answers
Two silhouettes, a private dancer
Lights go dim, as the music starts to fade, away (Turn and walk away)
I'm the one who needs you, now you can believe it
I'll be there to catch you when you fall
Ooo you better believe I'm the man (On the edge of a broken heart)
Here I am (On the edge of a broken heart)
And we stand (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can 'cause you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
(solo)
Ooohh
And when I hold out my hands I'll be reaching for you
I give it all that I've got, that's all I can do
When you're waiting for love
I'll be waiting for you (On the edge
of a broken heart)
Only for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
Oh baby for you (On the edge of a broken heart)
So run if you can, you know
I'm a man on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (On the edge of a broken heart)
I'm on the edge (Of a broken, broken, broken
Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die
I came here lijke so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And I know nothing good comes easy
And all good things take some time
I made my bed I'll lie in it
To die in it's the crime
You can't help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
Than anybody's known
I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home
Now there's nothing in this paydirt
The ghosts are all I know
Now the oil's gone
The money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hands
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive
In the blessed name of Jesus
I heard a preacher say
That we are God's children
And that he'd be back someday
And I hped that he knew
Something as he drank his cup of wine
I didn't have too good of a feeling
As I head out to the night
I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away
Now the oil's gone and the money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on
Down in dry county
Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for their big reward
But it seems sometimes
The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I'll die
Make it by the gun or knife
'Cause the other way there's too much pain
Night after night after night
If I had to I would lie for you,
And baby I would cry, I'd cry for you.
If I have to, I'll get down on my knees for you.
Tommy's home and waiting up for you,
And it you leave, he'll make you black and blue.
Please don't go, not this time,
Oh no don't leave me tonight.
Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight,
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no.
If you only knew what you put me through,
And how many night I've waited up for you.
Thinkin' about you baby every night,
Now you're here and you've gotta go home.
We can hide out and rendezvous,
Just me and just you.
So please baby please, don't put up a fight,
Oh no don't leave me tonight.
Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight,
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no.
Don't leave me tonight (oh baby not tonight)
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it this time)
Don't leave me tonight (Oh no no no)
He don't love you half as much as I do,
Promise you'll stay the night, and love me too.
Yeah yeah yeah.
I can't stand another night alone,
Or talkin' to you on the phone.
So tell 'em that we're runnin' away,
Tell 'em anything you want.
Please stay now, don't say you'll go.
Don't leave me tonight,
Everything's gonna be alright.
I need you girl, I need you to stay,
Don't turn your back and walk away.
Don't leave me tonight, don't leave me tonight,
Don't leave me tonight, oh no no.
Don't leave me tonight (everything will be alright)
Don't leave me tonight (I can tell you I love you)
Don't leave me tonight (I'm goin' outa my mind I
can't stand the nights alone).
Don't leave me tonight (So baby don't say you're goin')
Don't leave me tonight (Oh baby stay around)
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it, can't take it,
can't take it, can't
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times
You can't go on playing with people's minds
But you lied thinking that you'd get by
Breaking hearts one by one in a line
Cause you're driving me crazy
I just can't go on making love to a woman
Who's been playing with me all along
So don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
I can count the times you really made me a fool
I guess what we've got was a different set of rules
Well you cried, thinking that I'd breakdown
But I'm not sure I need you hanging around
Cause you're driving me crazy
I just can't go on making love to a woman
Who's been playing with me all along
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
You wont have me to kick around anymore
I'm not a fool for you and that's for sure
No reason left for you to try to pretend
I told you before now I'll say it again
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Don't do that to me anymore
Hey babe, it's me parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old in this sleepy, dead-end town
Destination anywhere - Name the place, I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Baby, we both been running uphill for too long
We both settled for something, got nothing
And we both know that it's wrong
Go on admit it if we lived it
I'm leaving, get your boots and come on
I've got my coat and my keys
I need you next to me then I'm gone, come on
Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Baby we'll just disappear like the sun, ooh...
When these wheels spin, baby they can all eat our dust
As far as I'm concerned, this whole town lost its nuts
We won't be here when they put us down
It's our big chance, I'm calling you now
They'll never let us go unless we try
I'm tired of living just to die
We're getting out of here, destination anywhere
Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear chase the sun
Lying here beside you in someone else's bed
Knowing what were doing's wrong, but better left unsaid
Your breathing sounds like screaming, it's all that I can stand
His ring is on your finger, but my heart is in your hands
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes
Damned, damned
A door slams like a shotgun, you jump up to your feet
But it's just the wind blowing through the secrets that we keep
Made me want to want you, God knows I need to need you
By the time the love is over, I'll be sleeping on the streets
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes
Why don't you talk to me?
(Because I'm too blind to see)
Why won't you look at me?
(Because I'm afraid to breathe)
What do you want from me?
(All that I can stand)
The lies are on my tongue, and I can't turn back I know
My soul is damned
Don't worry
I ain't gonna call you or hear you say my name
And if you see me on the streets, don't wave just walk away
Our lives are getting twisted, let's keep our stories straight
The more that I resist it, my temptation turns to fate
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
Oh God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes
Damned, yeah, damned, yeah
Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting harder holding on, but I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God, I wish it wasn't me standin' in these shoes
Damned, ah, damned, yeah
Ah, damned, yeah
The city sounds like a symphony
A cabbie screams obscenities
The horns are honking jazz in the night
Her street is lit like a Christmas tree
This place is my amphetamine
She junks me but it's alright
In her summer dress she parts the sea
Her hair wrapped up in rosary beads
Everyone else is gone but her and me
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
Sitting on my stoop
I lit one up and put the ashes in my coffee cup
And watched the world passing me by
Throw a coat of paint on this rusty heart
Ain't it funny how life imitates art
Saint Valentine he's got bloody knees tonight
But when she's walking down the street
The sidewalk's there to kiss her feet
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
She needs me, pleads me
Wraps me in her loving charms
She'll tease me, squeeze me
But I'm the man when I'm in her arms
Now the angels sing a melody
That they wrote for her explicitly
That no one hears but her and me
Now wait a minute wait I can't believe my eyes
Who's that coming around the corner?
Ay, she's lookin' fine ain't she? get out the way!
No, no, no get out the way look at those high heel sneakers
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Now that you're gone, I can see what
Was going on and how you lied
When you'd said you'd never love again
Friends telephone and they say
You weren't out alone last night
Can't you see that this broken heart is killing me
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me
Come back, 'cause I need your love
Come back, got to have your love
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Come back 'cause it's been so long
Come back, and I can't go on
Come back, bring your loving back to me
You play with words, play with love
It's just your silly way
I'm a fool for I need you by my side again
Now it's too late you walk by
With another man and I stand alone
'Cause I know that you're not coming home
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me
Come back 'cause I need your love
Come back, got to have your love
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Come back 'cause it's been so long
Come back, and I can't go on
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Back to me
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me
Come back 'cause I need your love
Come back, got to have your love
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Come back 'cause it's been so long
Come back, and my love's still strong
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Come back 'cause I need your love
Come back, got to have your love
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Come back 'cause it's been so long
Come back, and I can't go on
Come back, bring your loving back to me
Back to me, back to me, back to me
(Sambora)
Woke up in a cold sweat
In the middle of the night
Seems like a lifetime
When you're wondering who's wrong or right
One confession would resurrect the truth
Revenge or forgiveness for sins between me and you
Now we dance with the devil down lonely
street, lonely street
Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire
You never find a reason why love falls from grace
Some kind of voodoo, like a spirit you can't embrace
There's a voice in the mirror, and a ghost in my heart
That relives the passion before we were torn apart
Now we dance with the devil down lonely
street, lonely street
Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire
Now we dance with the devil down lonely
street, lonely street
Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween Day, yea
But it was Fourth of July now
A car crash
With a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed
He rides the Greyhound
From his hometown
When he comes around
'Cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
Crash is lookin' like a star
You and me, we're invincible
Together, we can be
Oh so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like Ziggy
But he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash
An' the beauty Queen
From Mars
Share a toothpick, tradin' lipstick
Watchin' traffic
For days at the diner
Holdin' hands, makin' big plans
Playin' Superman
He was wearin' eyeliner
Another local legend
And his longtime lucky charm
You and me, we're invincible
Together, we can be
Oh so tragical, whatever
All dressed up like Ziggy
(Ooo)
But he couldn't play guitar
(Ooo)
Captain Crash
An' the beauty Queen
From Mars
They're drunk on love
As you can get
Gettin' high on lust
(Yea)
And cigarettes
Livin' life
With no regrets
At least they're gonna try
To fly
You and me, we're invincible
Together, we can be
Oh so tragical, whatever
We're Sid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard
Kurt and Courtney
(Ooo)
Bacall and Bogie
(Ooo)
Joltin' Joe and Ms. Monroe
(Ooo)
Here's Captain Crash
An' the beauty Queen
From Mars
(Ooo)
They're like you and me, yes
Captain Crash
An' the beauty Queen
From Mars
Tu du tu, tu du tu
Tu du tu, du
Tu du tu, tu du tu
Tu du tu, du
(They're like you and me)
Tu du tu, tu du tu
This time girl I've had enough
You're too hot to handle with kid gloves
It's too late I hear a knock on the door
The game's over baby I can't take it no more
Breakout, Breakout
Take these chains from me
You held my heart for ransom
Baby, set it free
Breakout, Breakout
Your lies can't hide what I see
I'm better off on my own
Promises made me in the heat of the night (Whoa-oh-oh)
Those words were broken under bedroom lights (Whoa-oh)
Your lips they burn your body calls my name (Whoa-oh)
I can feel the fire but it's all in vain (Whoa-oh)
You say we'll meet around midnight
You're gonna make me feel oh so right
I'm saying oh no not tonight
You gotta let me go
You say we'll meet around midnight
You're gonna make me feel oh so right
I'm saying oh no not tonight
I been knocked down so many times
Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9
Written off like some bad deal
If you're breathing you know how it feels
Call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just don't give a
Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again
This ain't no game; I play it hard
Kicked around, cut, stitched and scarred
I'll take the hit but not the fall
I know no fear, still standing tall
You can call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just don't give a
Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again
Bounce!
Bring it on, I like it rough
In your face, I call your bluff
It ain't karma, it ain't luck
Me, I just don't give a
Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again
Bounce, Bounce
Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
Rainy night and the worked all day
Both got jobs 'cause there's bills to play
We've got somethin' they can't take away
Our love, our lives
Close the door, leave the cold outside
Don't need nothin', by your side
We've got somethin' that won't never die
Our dreams, our pride
Beats like a drum
Flesh to flesh, one to one
I'll never let go
Somethin' I know deep inside
You were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
We've got somethin' to believe in
If we don't know where we stand
Only God knows the reason
But He must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
And I was made to be your man
Light a candle, blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
Nothin' ain't fancy, but that's okay
Our time, our way
Hold me close baby, hang on tight
Buckle your seats, for a bumpy ride
We're two kids hitchin' this road of life
Our world, our fights
Stand side by side
There's a chance we'll get by
I know that you'll live
In my heart till the day I die
You were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
We have got to believe in
Even if we don't know where we stand
Only God knows the reason
But He must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
My heart beats like a drum
Flesh to flesh, one to one
I'll never let go
There's somethin' I know deep inside
You were born to be my baby
I was made to be your man
We've got somethin' to believe in
If we don't know where we stand
God knows the reason
But He must have had a plan
'Cause you were born to be my baby
I can still remember when I was just a kid
When friends were friends forever and what you said was what you did
Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby we cut each other's hands
Held tight to a promise only brothers understand
But we were so young
(So young)
One for all and all for one
(For one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run
Blood on blood, one on one
We'd still be standing when all was said and done
Blood on blood, one on one
And I'll be here for you till kingdom come
Blood on blood
Well, Bobby was our hero 'cause he had his fake I.D.
When I got busted stealing cigarettes Bobby took the rap for me
Well Danny knew this white trash girl we each threw in a ten
She took us to this cheap motel and turned us into men
When we were so young
(So young)
One for all and all for one
(For one)
Just as sure as the river's gonna run
Blood on blood, one on one
We'd still be standing when all was said and done
Blood on blood, one on one
And I'll be here for you till kingdom come
Blood on blood
Now Bobby, an uptown lawyer Danny, a medicine man
And me, I'm just the singer in a long haired rock 'n' roll band
Through the years and miles between us it's been a long and lonely ride
But if I got that call in the dead of the night, I'd be right by your side
Blood on blood, blood on blood
Just that blood
Blood on blood, blood on blood
Blood on blood, one on one
We'd still be standing when all was said and done
Blood on blood, one on one
And I'll be here for you till kingdom come
Blood on blood, yeah
Blood on blood, blood on blood
Blood on blood, blood on blood
I wake up in the mornin'
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm goin'
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind, yeah
You're brought into this world
But they say you're born in sin
Well at least they've given me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Able
Mister catch me if you can
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
I'm goin' down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain?
Well, I've seen love come
I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Shot down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
But I'm going down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord, I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm a devil's son
Call me young gun
Yeah
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I'll hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Starin' down the bullet
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going down in a blaze of glory
(Down)
Lord, I never drew first
But, I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm the young gun
Young gun, yea eee yea
Young gun
I have walked all alone on these streets I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks, time disappears
I was lost on my knees on the eve of defeat
As I chocked back to tears, there's a silent scream no one could hear
So far away from everything, you know it's true
Something inside that makes you do what you got to do
Ring the bells, ring them loud, let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world's crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground and ring the bells of freedom
Up the steps of the church through the fields in the dirt
In the dark, I have seen that the sun still shines for the one who believe
So far away, so full of doubt you needed proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sound inside of you
Ring the bells, ring them loud, let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world?s comes crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand the ground and ring the bells of freedom
Ring the bells, ring them loud, let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom
When your world?s comes crashing down like you've lost every round
Stand your ground and ring the bells of freedom
Ring the bells, ring them loud, let them ring here and now
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares, think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and french kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps it's own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, what you mean to me and the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away the step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
To see through this pay phone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to
You I'll just close my eyes, whisper baby blind love is true
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
Well I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close as your Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Growing up today
There's many mountains you must climb
You're not the only one
'Cause everybody's on that line
Hey mister know it all
What do you recommend
You think you know the answers
But the questions never end
Young hearts better hold on
Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
Better look in your mirror
You got nothing to lose
Don't waste your time away
Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues
(Yesterdays blues)
Born outta passion
To a world gone cold
Ya wear it on your shoulders
It's a heavy, heavy load I know
Love and its emotions
Come knocking at your door
Young hearts will be broken
And time's the only cure
Young hearts better hold on
Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
Better look in your mirror
It'll tell you the truth
Don't waste your love away
Thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues
(Yesterday blues)
Woah oh
Temptation makes us fall from grace
But the angels were sinners
And the sinners saints
Forgive yourself 'cause we're all the same
Everybody rides on the karma train
Young hearts
Better hold on
Beyond the innocence
Your youth is gone
Well, look in your mirror
It'll tell you the truth
(Tell you the truth)
Don't waste your time away
Don't waste your life away, no, no
Live today, there's no time to lose
'Cause when tomorrow comes
It's all just yesterday's news
All just yesterday news, yesterday news
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad medicine
I ain't got a fever got a permanent disease

R.Sambora
When I look at you
i realize
there comes a time in someone's life
when you find things that matter
and every time we touch
the love runs deep
we realize it's our to keep
and that's all that really matters.
You'll always be my sweet addiction
in this life my saving grace
girl you're all that really matters
you know it's true
ain't no me without you.
When you're in the dark
baby don't despair
I'm just a spark away
I will be there
and that's all that matters.
You'll always be my sweet addiction
in this life my saving grace
you're all that really matters
you know it's true
ain't no me without you.
We'll share our lives together
yes our flame burns on forever
and at the final curtain call
we can say we did it all.
Solo
You'll always be my sweet addiction
in this life my saving grace
you're all that really matters
you know it's true
ain't no me without you.
And when we turns to dust
and we fly away
there'll be a light stil burning bright
First time I saw you girl,
I knew that it wouldn't be long
I tried holding back my feelings
But you came on so strong
No one told me about her
But I know they all knew
That I know all about the girls
That do the things you do
Cause you're all talk, no action
You're all talk, no action
You're playing those games with me baby,
But one of us has got to win
Someday all the boys are gonna find out
That you won't even play it with them
You're running out of numbers baby
You won't say no, you just say maybe
One of these days you're gonna get
What's coming to you
Cause you're all talk, no action
All talk, no action
You're all talk, no action
You better stop this fooling around
You're all talk no action
You turn it up to cool me down, cool me down, cool me down
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But their names could never hurt me
Cause I ain't afraid of you running away
If you love me tonight then desert me
Cause you're all talk, and no action
You're all talk, but no action
You're all talk, but no action
You're all talk
You're all talk, no action
You're all talk, no action
All talk, no action
Working hard eight days a week
Most days we got no time to speak
I feel like i'm chasing after my own life
Girl can't you see you're my only vice
Take the phone off the hook
Turn the lights down low
We'll play some old sam cooke
Baby, let yourself go
All i wanna do is you
All i wanna do is you
I'll do anything you want me to, but
All i wanna do is you
I don't care what kinda clothes you wear
It doesn't matter how you do your hair
I don't need no champagne on ice
Girl, can't you see that you're my only vice
Turn the whole world off
Keep your high heels on
Take it nice and slow
make it last 'til dawn
All i wanna do is you
All i wanna do is you
I'll do anything you want me to, but
All i wanna do is you
I don't wanna eat
I don't wanna sleep
Don't wanna sit around and watch tv
When you're next to me it's where i wanna be
All i wanna, all i wanna, all i wanna do…
All i wanna do is you
All i wanna do is you
I'll do anything you want me to
Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
You can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
America the Beautiful
O, beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain's majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O, beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
You know he can't be tested.
He can't be read or found.
Urban gray takes breath away.
He wants to push his pedal to the ground.
And the night's what's right.
Puts him at the wheel.
Well, I eat danger.
Any stranger is all right.
Feel hot to go like Jimmy O.
Dodging flying objects at the show.
And the lights make me fight.
In Detroit 442...
Maybe, baby, I could ride with you.
This town's a concrete factory and dad and mom look just like me.
I'm on the plant assembly line.
Too late now.
Too far behind!
You said you wanna hang around.
No one really cares where you go.
Take your time.
Things never change.
In Detroit 442 maybe baby I could ride with you.
If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, yeah
And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
Put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me
Ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no rainbow in the sky, when you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no rainbow in the sky, when you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly
So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut, then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, yeah
She wakes up when I sleep
To talk to ghosts like in the movies
If you don't follow what I mean
I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
If she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her
Yesterday's a memory
Tomorrow's accessory
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you about her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet
Nobody knows
That's right
She wakes up when I sleep
JUMPIN' JACK FLASH
(Jagger/Richards 1968)
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I can't see nothing wrong
To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
It's half past eight, it's getting late
It's OK, take your time
Standing here my hands in my pockets
Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone
Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
You just smile and steal the show
You come to me and take my hand
We start dancin' slow
You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low
From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
And when you're laying down beside me
I feel your heartbeat to remind me...
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
From hello
1, 2, 3, 4
Well you're dancing with the shadow
You been talking in your sleep
Well you can walk on water
But don't want to wet your feet
You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah
You say you talk to everyone
Who is anyone in town
But they don't recognize you
With your feet out of your mouth
You really got me, you really got me now, yeah
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me
Who am I to judge a man who says that's he's his own biggest fan
It's true / Richard...
You brought a knife out to a gunfight
And you're shouting that I'm dead
My old friends Smith and Wesson
Think you're in over your head
You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me now
You really got me, you really got me now
You burn your bridges baby
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
Oh! You're a loaded gun, yeah
Oh! There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
Hey, you give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa! You're a loaded gun
Whoa! There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
You give love, oh!
Oh! Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
(Bad name)
You give love
You give love
(Bad name)
You give love
You give love
(Bad name)
You give love
You give love
(Bad name)
You give love
You give love
You Can't Lose At Love
You can lose at cards
You can lose your keys
You can lose the house or lose the lease
You can lose your car, you can lose the race
You can lose your mind or lose your faith
Take a look around and hear what I've gotta say
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
No, you can't lose at love
We could lose the plot
Or we could lose our way
But I ain't going to lose
These ain't good games we're playing
Let me make you an offer too good to refuse
No, you can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But you can't lose at love
Now we just might roll a seven, these ain't loaded dice
We'll never get to heaven from this driveway tonight
You've heard a million promises that's never come through
Baby I'm telling you we're due
You can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
Chose anything you can dream of
But baby, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
Cause you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
No, you can't lose at love
Take a chance on me
You can't lose at love
No, you can't lose at love
You can't lose at love
You can't lose
I'm here trying to make a living
I ain't living just to die
Never getting back what I'm giving
Can someone somewhere help me justify
Why these strong hands are on the un-employment line
Now there's nothing left
But what's on my mind
oh ohh oh ohh
Who's gonna work for the working man
(Hurt) for the working man
(Work) Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
(Work) Brother I'll be damned
(Work) If I don't raise a hand
(Work) Whose gonna work, work, work
For the working man, working man
Empty pockets full of worry
Had to get two jobs
And it was hard enough just getting by
With the grace of god I'll get us through
I only know what I know how to do
I'm the only one who's got to look my family in the eye
Day after day
Night after night
Oh Ohh Oh Ohh
Who's gonna work for the working man
(Hurt) for the working man
(Work) Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
(Work) Brother I'll be damned
(Work) If I don't raise a hand
(Work) Whose gonna work, work, work
For the working man, working man, working man, working man
I lost my pension
They took my I.D
These were my friends
These were my dreams
These were my hopes
These are my streets
Can you hear me?
Who's gonna work for the working man
(Hurt) for the working man
(Work) Get your hands in the dirt
Who's gonna work off the curse
(Work) Brother I'll be damned
(Work) If I don't raise a hand
(Work) Whose gonna work, work, work
For the working man, working man, working man, working man
These were my friends
These were my dreams
These were my hopes
Call it social commentary
Call it just what me eyes see
Seems that there's more pretty women
Than there are fish in the sea
...Woman in love
You see there's girls who like your money
Girls who like your car
Girls who like to sip champagne
And feed on caviar
...Woman in love
Send me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I'll wrap 'em all up
And give them the world
You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing
She can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
If lust is just a dirty dog
I've been scratching with the fleas
I've been waking up your neighbours
Barking up your tree
I went down to the shopping mall
To get it off my mind
But it's like sleeping with the enemy
If you're not deaf and blind
I tried to run
But it was too late for me
I tried to hide
Since the day Adam met Eve
Till I turned on the television
And I looked up on the screen
I saw a hundred pretty girls
Sing this song on MTV
Sen me some silk stockings
Smooth talking lipstick and curls
I want a woman
More than a girl
Need some lip-locking, cool walking
Diamonds and pearls
I'll wrap 'em all up
And give them the world
You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing she can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain't secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without 'em
But you're asking too much
You see I've slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Oh, yeah
I've traveled all around the world
Across the seven seas
Got everything I wanted
There's just one thing I need
It hasn't changed forever
Fathers tell your sons
That there ain't nothing like
A thing called love
You know there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
Ain't nothing she can't rise above
She can part the water
When the seas get rough
There ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
There ain't secret
To woman in love
You think that you can
Live without 'em
But you're asking too much
You see I've slept with romance
And danced with lust
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love - she's away
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad becaouse you're on your own
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Baby I don't know
Baby I don't know
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Could you believe in the love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn off the light
I can't tell you but I'm sure I feel nice
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
Baby I don't know
Baby I don't know
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough
That your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you
They say: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
A member of the boy's brigade
Had a date with the girl next door
You know it made her daddy crazy
But it only made her want him more
They weren't looking for trouble
You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
So she headed out thru her bathroom window
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
They said: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Sometimes this town ain't pretty
But you know it ain't so bad
Just like a girl who looks so happy
Whe inside she's so so sad
In here we got this code of honor
Nobody's going down
You don't walk in vain
Trough the kid's parade
It's pretty cold for late September
And autumn wind is creepin' in
The summer sun packed up it's long gone
There's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
Yeah!
I bet it's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsies
Whose searching for our pot of gold
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
I close my eyes and picture youre hand in mine
I still hear your voice that takes me back to that time
Where I can find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
Close the window draw the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurt
No one's right no one's wrong
Lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
I close my eyes and picture youre hand in mine
I still hear your voice that takes me back to that time
Where I can find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
You used to live to say you love me
No you got one foot of the door
It's then you turn around and ask me
Do we got it anymore
I close my eyes and picture youre hand in mine
I still hear your voice that takes me back to that time
Where I need find a reason to be strong
I close my eyes and picture youre hand in mine
Yeah I hold the line you'll never hear me say goodbye
So pretty thing let the years be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin' on
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I’m hanging in
You’re holding on
I can’t pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
(Solo)
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I've ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise to the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die
So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause when I see my whole world
I see only you
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
I've looked for you all of my life
Now that I've found you
We will never say good-bye
Can't stop this feelin'
And there's nothing I can do
'Cause I see everything
When I look at you
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes.
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
We will always be together
And our love will never die
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes
R.Sambora
Only child
lonely one
trying to act like his father's son
make him proud through he sometimes fails
locked up, living in a jail
Help me now
Help me now
God I feel misunderstood
Trust me now
Trust me now
Who I am is good.
Who I used to be ain't what I am
if you walked inside my shoes
then you would understand
Who I am - you wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
just who I am.
When I lost is when I learned
when the road took a crooked turn
wore tha face of I just don't care
that piece of me just disappeared
Help me now
Help me now
find some hope inside myself
Reaching down
finding out
who's hiding in this shell.
Who I used to be ain't what I am
if you walked inside my shoes
then you would understand
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
Who I am.
Somehow I got to find a mirror
to make the stranger clearer
all I wanna be is who I am.
Reaching down
finding out
I still feel misunderstood
Trust me now
Trust me now
Who I am is good.
Who I used to be ain't what I am
if you walked inside my shoes
then you would understand
Who I am - you wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
It's who I am.
Who I am
Who I am
Outside this world keeps turnin' 'round
London Bridge keeps burnin' down
but it'll be all right, oooh
No one hears our silent screams
In this land of broken dreams
but it'll be all right, when she comes
It'll be all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes
And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it get's hard, she's all I need to get by
I hear her voice in a thousand places
I try so hard, still I can't escape it
She's the one, when she comes, yeah
And if the sky come fallin' down,
I never ever even hear a sound
It's true, she's as great a red
as blue skies are blue
Everything's all right, when she comes
Everything's all tight, when she comes
And when I lie she still believes
She don't ask why, she's there for me
When it gets hard, she's all I really need
Everything's all right, when she comes
It'll all be tight, when she comes
When she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
It's all right, It's all right, It's all right, when she comes
Today you'll pick up all the pieces
And get on with your life
All I can hope is that you're happy
'Cause today you're someone elses wife
Right now I wish that I could turn back
And beg the hands of time
For the days that I remember (oh baby)
The days when you were mine
And if I never said I love you
It's cause the words got in the way
Now all I do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I'll bet you looked good at the altar
I'll bet he knew the words to say
And the angels smiled when you walked down the aisle
You both knelt down to pray
As he put his ring on your finger
I know there's just one thing left to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
So Sorry
Solo
You won't be walking through the door anymore
You won't be sleeping in this bed anymore
Tho' I swear I see your shadow waltz across my floor
And I don't know if I can take it
Should we ever meet again
Cause I know that we'll be strangers
When he introduces friends
I tried to make it to the church now baby
A broken heart got in the way
All I can do is tell you I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
I really hope you're happy baby
Tho' it's killing me to say
All I can do is say I'm sorry
Sorry I missed your wedding day
Sorry I missed your wedding
I'm sorry I missed your wedding day
I'm sorry I missed your wedding day
Original title: Tom Traubert's Blues
Written by: Tom Waits (1976)
(Sung by Tico Torres)
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the mood did,
I've got what I prayed for now
I'll see you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are
soaking wet to go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
That the maverick Chinaman with his cold-blooded style
And the girls stand by the strip-tease shows, go
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
Now I don't want your sympathy, the fugitive says
That the streets ain't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
want a piece of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
It's a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace,
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donnas, the perfume is on
It's an old shirt that's stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen, the flame
keepers
Goodnight Mathilda, too
Everybody wants somethin'
Just a little more
Makin' a livin'
And what we're livin' for
A rich man or a poor man
A pawn or a king
You can live on the street, you can rule the whole world
But it don't mean one damn thing
What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
You're tryin' to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things
That you've been dreamin' of
If you ain't got someone
You're afraid to lose
Everybody needs just one
Someone to tell them the truth
Maybe I'm a dreamer
But I still believe
I believe in hope, I believe that change
Can get us off our knees
What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
You're tryin' to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things
That you've been dreamin' of
If you ain't got love
It's all just keepin' score
If you ain't got love
What the hell we doin' it for?
I don't wanna have to talk about it
How many songs you gotta sing about it?
How long you gonna live without it?
Why does some somewhere have to doubt it?
Someday we'll figure it out
What do you got if you ain't got love?
Whatever you got, it just ain't enough
You're walkin' a road but you're goin' nowhere
You're tryin' to find your way home, but there's no one there
Who do you hold in the dark of night?
You wanna give up but it's worth the fight
You can have all the things
That you've been dreamin' of
If you ain't got love
It's all just keepin' score
If you ain't got love
What the hell we doin' it for?
Whoa, what do you got if you ain't got love?
Whoa, what do you got if you ain't got love?
It's all the same
Only the names will change
Everyday
It seems we're wastin' away
Another place
Where the faces are so cold
I drive all night
Just to get back home
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
Dead or alive
Wanted
Dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep
Sometimes it's not for days
The people I meet
Always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone
All you do is think
I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
(Wanted)
Dead or alive
Wanted
(Wanted)
Dead or alive
Ohh alright
Oh I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
(Wanted)
Dead or alive
When I walk these streets
A loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps
'Cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere
(Ohh, yea)
Still I'm standin' tall
I've seen a million faces
And I've rocked them all
'Cause I'm a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted
(Wanted)
Dead or alive
I'm a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I'm wanted
(Wanted)
Dead or alive
And I'm right
(And I'm right)
Dead or alive
I still drive
(I still drive)
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Mm dead or alive
Dead or alive

We walked through the sunshine, we walked thru the rain
As endless as time the thoughts will remain
We'll take what we want
You take what you need
We are the targets, you better believe
No one can save you, there's nothing to say
Deception's the name of the game
Chorus:
We rule the night
Only the strong will survive
There's no wrong, there's no right
We rule the night
We rule the night
We'll never give up the fight
Where the wrong is alright
We rule the night
All is for one and one is for all
If we take the fight then you take the fall
You run from the shadows but they call my name
You search for the truth but your search is in vain
No one can save you, there's nothing to say
Deception's the name of the game
Chorus:
We rule the night
Only the strong will survive
There's no wrong, there's no right
We rule the night
We rule the night
We'll never give up the fight
Where the wrong is alright
We rule the night
We rule the night
We rule the night
Happiness, been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no guru to tell me what to do
When your feeling like a headlines on yesterday's news
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
Oh, give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Loneliness found a home in me
Oh, my suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me
But I opened up my heart, all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover, just to get screwed
They don't make no bandage, that's going to cover my bruise
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Pull me under through my veins
(Help I'm falling)
First to a place where I feel no pain
Be the pillow under my head
(Night is calling)
Cover me when I'm in your bed
(Feels like I'm flying)
Higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
(Christ, I'm dying)
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose
Oh, give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Give me, give me something for the pain
Give me, give me something I can use
Just like you
Just like you
R.Sambora
She was standing at the station
small town suitcase in her hand
there were dreams she found inside her
that no one cared to understand
she never talks about her childhood
so much past to leave behind
she's so scared to go
but still she says goodbye.
When you walk that road
you walk alone
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
when you only hope
is to find a home
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
in the great unknown.
Born and raised in poverty
daddy died when he was young
all the fears that raged inside him
his spirit need to overcome
each day he tears down the reflection
of who he used to be
and with a little luck
he'll rise eventually.
When you walk that road
when you walk alone
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
when you only hope
is to find a home
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
the great unknown.
Solo
In the search of our salvation
relentlessly we climb
just looking for a reason
in creation's grand design
if patience is a virtue
then let us humbly begin
we'll be here waiting
'til our ship comes sailing in.
When you walk that road
we walk alone
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
when you only hope
is to find a home
you're just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
the great unknown
the great unknown
don't want to walk through life
and undiscovered soul.
Searching for the road
looking for a home
in the great unknown
don't want to walk through life
an undiscovered soul
searching for a home
looking for a road
in the great unknown
don't want to walk through life
an undiscovered soul

Love is like quicksand
It's always bringing me down
But I still keep coming back for more
And like an addiction
One is never enough
I'm like a junkie at your door
Too much of a good thing is like getting high and coming down
Chorus:
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much too much of a good thing
I came to your party
And stayed a little to late
You woke up naked on the floor
You are my strongest weakness
And I don't want nothing else
You got the fix I'm looking for
Too much of a good thing will turn your whole world upside down
Chorus:
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much too much of a good thing
She's my favorite disease
Makes me crawl on my knees
Getting much too much of a good thing
Like you partied all night and you're too trashed from drinking
The only way out is another shot glass to sink in
Tell me, baby, what'll it take
I keep making the same mistakes
Chorus:
My heart's on a string
I was blind to the sting
Getting much too much of a good thing
And I know it's no good
Yeah, I'd quit if I could
Getting much too much
Another night in this old town
Sometimes growin up can only bring you down
Sometimes I sit, I wonder
Sometimes I scream as loud as thunder
Little brother dont you know Im a man
They might think Im just a boy
But they dont understand
These city streets, they tell me stories about busted dreams and faded glory
No one seems to understand,
They tell me walk, dont run, the time will find you
Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to
Walk, dont run, they say growing up it just aint so much fun
I feel like a loaded gun
They say dont run
My mom and dad work every day
Just to keep shoes on our feet they slaved their lives away
Grandpa had to do the same, it took him to an early grave
Call me a rebel, say the boy dont think
Im old enough to fight for my country
I aint old enough for a drink
And Im not a pawn, I cant play their game
But Poppa Im proud just to wear your name
Then he held out his hand, he said I understand
But remember walk, dont run, the time will find you
Walk, dont run and your heart will guide you to
That was my brother lost in the rubble
That was my sister lost in the crush
That was our mothers, those were our children
That was our fathers, that was each one of us
A million prayers to God above
A million tears make an ocean of
One for love, one for truth
One for me and one for you
(Aah)
I found spirit, they couldn't ruin it
(Aah)
I found courage in the smoke and dust
(Aah)
I found faith in the songs you silenced
Deep down it's ringing out in each of us, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
One for love, one for truth
One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one undivided
How many hands?
How many hearts?
How many dreams been torn apart?
Enough, enough the time has come to rise back us
But as one for love, one for truth
One for me and one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one undivided
Undivided
Undivided
One for love, one for truth
One for me and one for you
We once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one undivided
(M. Jagger, K.Richards)
Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown.
'Cause all you women is low down gamblers,
Cheatin' like I don't know how,
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now.
This low down bitchin' got my poor feet a itchin',
You know you know the duece is still wild.
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin' dice.
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,
Don't you see the time flashin' by.
Honey, got no money,
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines.
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider,
You can be my partner in crime.
But baby, I can't stay,v You got to roll me and call me the tumblin',
Roll me and call me the tumblin' dice.
Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter,
playin' the field ev'ry night.
Baby, can't stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin' (dice),
