Money, Money, Money

I knew a man who was hidden away from the eyes the world near the sea
He took me fishing on his boat one day, rolled his eyes as he sat next to me
He said "darlin', money don't mean that much to me"
I said "Mr. set me free."
I told him bout all things that I loved, all the plans that I had in my head
I told him bout that big house on the lake and I can't stop, cuz I'll sleep when I'm dead
He said darlin your whole life will go by,
and you'll have those pretty things to show but nothing that was worth your time
Baby with your eyes so wide
You're doing what you think is right
but your so, so off, you're so far off
Listen to the old and wise
I've already lived your life
And I ask you at what cost? You don't know the cost
Baby you're so far off
I knew a man who was hiding his heart lost his way as he rose to the top
He had all of the wealth you could want, I guess he just didn't know where to stop
He told me darlin, love is what means the world to me
I said Mr. I can't set you free
I told him bout all the things that I loved all the plans that I had in my head
He seemed to look far off to the west did he listen to a word that I said?
He told me, "darlin your whole life will go by
And you've got not another day to waste another dream to live or die"
Give me the answers I should find
I need the truth in half the time
straight from the horses mouth
And we're the wringing the lessons out
No sugar coating for this girl
I'm the one laughing at the world
I'll get it all worked out
I'm not letting my visions down

Into You
02:38

I've made a deal with time
we picked a day for me to find
a man to walk with me around the world
a love that reaches round the waist of earth
I'm gonna wait for you
I've got some living to do
I'll soon be falling into you
Don't know when fate will nod
All of those nights forgot
I'll soon be falling into you
I can see what time has
in mind for me, he teaches
at times I feel a rush that leaves me speechless
I'm searching for the pull of my heart, your kiss

Singing To Ourselves
03:03

He's a man of few words
Says he really loves me
has his own share of troubles
In his little wood shop
never turns music on
just works with that smile on his face
I caught him singing to himself when he was alone
he don't need a fancy house just a home
I'm a girl who lights up
when I turn an old record on
spinning around and around
in my little square room
ceiling blank up ahead
the things i dream on those walls
he caught me singing to myself when I was alone
I just need an honest man for me to hold
He's a man of few words
says he really loves me
laughs about nothing at all
In my old yellow car
I drive till I'm done breathing hard
nothing's as bad as it seems
He sees me struggling for faith when I'm alone
You can't solve this in a day, can we go home?

Campfires

You are the earth, the wind, the vessel
You are the road that lasts
I am the the crook, the theif, the hassle
I am the floor that cracks
Fix me up and I will last
You are the rock, the roll, the future
You are the soul that fuels
I am the crook, the night, the moocher
mainly cuz I refuse
to let them use me as they choose
I need you to stay with me but,
I think that you'll run away
What can I give you to stay?
I am the song, the words, the struggle
I keep you on your toes
I promise to always keep trying
to drive the crazies out and let them go
You are the reason I keep going
You keep the will in me strong
You are the one who keeps showing up
even though my troubles party all night long
I need you to stay with me but,
I think that you'll run away
What can I give you to stay?
You think you should stay with me but,
I think that you'll run away
what can I give you to stay? Please stay?

Dreams Aren't For Sale
03:58

Do you know how long I've dreamed and schemed
All those sleepless nights how hopeless it all seemed
There were times when I could almost taste the future
years ahead where I would be someday
And I was scared and you were there to tell me "Don't you dare stop trying"
You held my face the words escaped "You'll be o.k. I'd never lie to you"
Don't sell my dreams
There are some things money can buy
But it can't buy everything
I won't change my mind
Go ahead and name your price
Give me a million a trillion
And I'll wave it goodbye
I admit sometimes the other side tempted me to try to understand
But all it took was just one step outside the way I've always thought, the way I've always planned
The truth is there's no other way. I have no choice, but the one I've made.
Sometimes there's pain sometimes trouble
I can't help loving what I do each day

Endless Nights
02:39
|

Sunday when I met you last spring
I fell in love
You'd give in when I'd pull you close to me
not letting up
When all was good, when all was perfect
sit out on the sidewalk no shoes on
Without no trouble, when things were simple
kiss you till your tired lips moved on
This one's for you
and all your endless nights
If I had one wish, I'd wish to keep you by my side
Years go by your always gone away
you call me home
I wait for you I'm trying to be brave
But it's a long road
My family tree has been cut down
I hold it altogether with tape and crayons
What I have lost, I finally found
I need you cuz my hopes coming around
This one's for you
and all the endless nights
If I had one wish, I'd wish to keep you by my side

Who?
02:33

You must be hammered
stumbling around town
you feel a little lonely tonight
you used to shine, shine they'd wait in lines, lines
just to see your handsome face in lights
Now you're all washed up and I'm not smiling
about your fortune upon this day
I hate to tell you that I told you so
Your sneaky ways, hooligan days, I look away
And I'll carry on but it's over you are done
and all those women you screwed over, they have won
Now pay the bill look me in the eyes and feel
all our pain just peel away now that you're gone
You must be crazy.
no I'm not dropping
All the love in my life
just for you
I caved in each time now finally goodbye
I wish you well, hope all your dreams come true!

Leave You Behind
02:56
|
|||
Told me to wash my hands
And never wander far
I cleaned my soul three times a day
Still caught a broken heart
You had a way with words
I couldn't say them first
Is there nothing left I can do?
If I showed up with nothing but love and a suitcase at your front door
Would you let me in or keep me shivering outside in the cold?
would you hold me close or stand silent
if my question you decline I'll you behind
My mother's always right
Not grateful til he's gone
I hate thinking in hindsight
about what I did wrong
We can still try again
You never learn you said
I learned this time to keep you instead

Keep Calm And Carry On
02:55
|

As I stand here now
Look into my eyes
Asked myself a thousand times
Lady why'd you try?
Not so long ago
Change my name each night
Play a different character
Fool them every time
I want my spirit back
where did that woman go?
She ran so far, so wide, to where the great wind blows
She always reached for higher
When fate grabbed from below
I wish she'd show up
I wish she'd show up
I wish she'd show
Life crashes in waves
and I say "Hey, I need a break"
I wave my arms and kick my legs
but I go under anyway.
Where does that leave me now
my clothes tossed in a pile
I've got some songs and my guitar
And that'll last me for awhile
Yeah that 'll last me for awhile
wouldn't change a thing I know I always say that
means the world to me you were always there to
keep me on the road, blindfold and my hands tied sweet oh so sweet

The Lonelies
02:32
|

move move move put you out of my mind
sleep sleep sleep another day out of sight
for the first time I can't let you go
I got a case of the lonelies by myself again
I got a case of the loneliness and baby i'm waiting
I thought I would stay busy on the road traveling
I got a case of the loneliness and baby I'm waiting
walk the line nothing like the first one
wind ahead think of times we had
for the first time I can't let you go

Do What Feels Good
03:09
|
|||
I've gotta reach down honey
Deep inside of me
I've gotta run from that circus
And the game and the scene
You've gotta take that ransom money
Give away your soul for free
Not me, not me
I get a headache thinking about it
Right between my eyes
Daddy always told his babies
Shoot up straight into the sky
Life is really not so desperate if you think about it twice
Just try, just try
Do what feels good
Why you standing still you got the rest of your life?
If you knew you could
finish what you start (live that childhood dream) would you be wasting your time?
I need to focus on the road
keep my eye on the horizon
Darlin' you need to let go
you and your heart always fighting
The questions always shoving you
into a corner silent Don't fight it. Sit quiet.

All For You

Little China man from far away
Left your family back where you were raised
Come to the new land the big U.S.A.
But you'll go back some day
Hopped on the back of a pick-up truck
your son's smile in your pocket to bring you luck
each day your saving up
cuz you'll go back some day
It's all for you.
It's all for you
Little China man comes up to me
Wrings his little hands and drags his feet
brushes a tear away, he can hardly breath
He's got somethin' to say
My wife back home thinks I will not return
My three young sons are all I have on earth
She says I've been gone for years and she's moving on
to start a new life, to live a new song
It's all for you
It's all for you
