DREAMERS & BELIEVERS
04:11
|

Hey Mr.Bigtime
Can’t you hear me?
I’ve been knocking at the door
I was only hoping
You might have a listen
I’ve got a story that’s gotta be told
About a dreamer, a believer
That life is just a song, just a song
Hey Mr. Sunshine
Won’t you help me?
I see them storm clouds rolling in
I was only looking
For a little shelter
And a friend to lend a hand
To a dreamer, a believer
That life is just a song, just a song
To a dreamer, a believer
That life is just a song, just a song
Hey Mr. Rooftop
Hope you can see me
Now that I’m flying high and free
I tried to tell you
When them hearts are hungry
There ain’t no stopping the power of
Them dreamers and believers
That life is just a song, just a song
Them dreamers and true believers
That life is just a song, sing-along

TIC TOC
02:50
|
|||
Everybody out here looking for a reason why
It’s so hard sometimes to see any bit of light
The knock me downs and the getting back up agains
Keep on walking the lines and pushing on through the winds
‘Til your time up
Tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up, tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up
Tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up, tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up
You don’t know nothing til you know you don’t know nothing at all
Still a reason to believe in is the reason to be heeding the call
Can’t hold too tight to tomorrow or to yesterday
Cause we grow up and everything will warp and fade
Til your time’s up
Tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up, tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up
Tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up, tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up
Everybody worried about where we all gonna go
Some move so fast others like moving slow
The kingdom come ain’t never really far behind
So love what you got and let the rest pass you by, by, by
‘Til your time’s up
Tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up, tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up
Tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up, tic toc tic ‘til your time’s up

TRAPPED IN THE AMBER
03:35
|
|||
Feel the wind at my back
The rays on my face
Let the honey slow me down
Where time don’t exist
Suspended in this
Living in the here and now
‘Cause nobody knows
Where anyone goes
Once they lay you in the ground
Just caught in between
Dust and a dream
Watching it all go around
Trapped in the amber
There ain’t an answer
No use in asking why
In all of its splendor
I will surrender
Lucky just to be alive
Feel the earth ‘neath my soles
Love in my bones
Easiest to just let go
Spin around the sun
Have me some fun
Let if flow, let it flow, let if flow
‘Cause after all of my days
Nothing has changed
A flame still burns a flame
So see what you see
That helps you believe
It’s all just one and the same
Trapped in the amber
There ain’t an answer
No use in asking why
In all of its splendor
I will surrender
Lucky just to be alive

GEORGIA
03:00
|
|||
With the devil ‘til the last drop
And I’m putting on my makeup
I got the engine running red-hot
Like I’m gonna blow the top off
I’m going away
My mama was a cheap drunk
And my daddy never home much
Mary was a soft touch
And I never really felt much
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’m going away, I’m going away
And I’m a long way gone from Georgia
The devil’s got his grip all over me
I never was a hard sell
I just love way it tasted
I only meant to do well
But now it’s all wasted
I’m going away, I’m going away
I’m going away, I’m going away
And I’m a long way gone from Georgia
The devil got his grip all over me

CARRY ON
03:31
|
|||
Sitting in a cloud of smoke
It’s always hard to let ‘em go
Nothing seems to ease the pain these days
I guess we’re just passing by
Live a little then we die
And everything returns to where it’s from
Carry on, another one come and gone
Carry on, another one come and gone
I wonder what it’s really worth
After all the love and hurt
If no one could ever truly understand
The static and the overload
The moment that you lose control
And sirens cease to sound inside your head
And we carry on, another one come and gone
We carry on, another one come and gone
We carry on, another one come and gone
We carry on, another one come and gone
Come and gone
You seem so close but so far away
And it sounds so strange when they say your name
I’m drowning in a bottle trying to ease the pain
But when I close my eyes I just see your face
And I can’t let go, it’s the hardest part
Picking up the pieces from a broken heart
The sun sinks down and we mark the day
It’s just a crying shame it has to end this way
But we carry on, another one come and gone …

THE RIVER
03:34
|
|||
He rides his bike and fights just like the others
His dirty knees and cowlick keep it hid
He loves to fish and jump out in the water
To scrub the stains and wash away the sin
While the other boys are looking for a cheap thrill
All he wants to do is cut it off
Lipstick, pearls, and busted set of high heels
Alone in the barn dancing in the loft
Go down to the river, let it go, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go
His mother cried for days when he finally told her
Pa stormed out the door in disbelief
Said she always felt more like a sister
And what’s the point in living if it ain’t free
He paid the price and walked out with a smile
First time that she’d ever felt so real
But eyes and sighs can kill you just like denial
And love and hate every heart can feel
Go down to the river, let it go, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go
She lies in bed and stares up at the ceiling
A tear rolls down her face she raises her hand
The world she says is cruel and unforgiving
And nobody likes what they don’t understand
Go down to the river, let it go, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go, let it go
Go down to the river, let it go

Hard up in the city and the race is on
No time for sittin’ pretty or singing sad songs
Everybody’s hungry for a piece of the pie
It’s cutthroat baby no sleeping tonight
In a jungle of fear only the strong survive
You best watch your back and sharpen your knife
‘Cause you can run on the wheel or stand in the line
But either way baby gonna pay the price
Gonna cost a little piece of your heart
Your mama always told you you was one of a kind
And you could reach the stars if you really tried
You flew the coop and now you’ve come to find
The world ain’t fair and your mama was lying
It’s tooth and nail you gotta fight like hell
No use in tossing pennies in the wishing well
Only fools get off on praying for luck
Whether you’re on your knees or the cock of the walk
Gonna pay a little piece of your heart
Yeah gonna pay, a little piece of your heart
Your heart, your heart, your heart
You came in soft but now your skin is thick
Didn’t take you very long to learn the shtick
It’s a crying shame to let it waste away
To sell your soul for a golden grave
With the dust in your eyes you can’t see the trap
Life goes by you can’t get it back
It’s a one-way street of lust and greed
And before too long you’re in too deep
Gonna cost a little piece of your heart
Well the view is nice when you’re walking tall
But still the higher you get the harder the fall
It don’t matter how long that you’re willing to wait
Nobody wins it’s how you play the game
The choice is yours if you want it to be
You can drag the chains or you can break on free
Pleasure or pain, fame or shame
The truth is brother that it’s all the same
Gonna cost a little piece of your heart
Yeah gonna cost, a little piece of your heart
Your heart, your heart, your heart

TAKE ME AWAY
02:30
|
|||
I don’t mind walking in the fire
I can take it on the chin
Cause I’m a lover and a fighter
I’ll be dust before I ever sink in
I ain’t looking for no jackpot
Couldn’t care less about the fame
Just trying to get in to them hot spots
Spill my guts all over the stage
Take me away
Take me away, take me away …
They say the road goes on forever
Wheels keep spinning ‘round and ‘round
But we were meant to be together
There ain’t no looking back now
So when you wake up I’ll be waiting
I’ve seen it all in a dream
Word’s come down from the captain
All along you’ve been following me
To take me away
Take me away, take me away …

ANYTHING YOU WANT
03:40
|
|||
You can call me rock
You might call it roll
Some say a little billy
With a little bit of soul
You might think it’s blues
Or honky tonk
Some say a little rag
With a little bit of funk
You might think it’s irie
Or groovy man
All I ever wanted
Was a killer band
And I’ll be anything you want
I’ll be everything you need
I’ll dance you around the kitchen
I’ll be your jam on New Years Eve
You might be impressed
You might think it sucks
It don’t matter me none
It’s how I grew up
You might think of me rich
You might call me poor
But I’m always open
When you’re at my door
You might like my style
Or my fancy hat
My bleeding heart
Or my moustache
And I’ll be anything you want
I’ll be everything you need
I’ll dance you around the kitchen
I’ll be your jam on New Years Eve
And yes I’ve paid my dues to get here
I won’t quit until I’m dead
I’m like a steam locomotive
I’ve got all this love to give
You might call me babe
You might call me bro
You can call me a goodtime
You know that’s for sure
You might wanna dance
Or jump around
Or maybe crank it up
While you burn one down
It’s all I got
It’s all I know
And I’m ready to fire
So where’s the show
And I’ll be anything you want
I’ll be everything you need
I’ll dance you around the kitchen
I’ll be your jam on New Years Eve
And I’ve paid my dues to get here
I ain’t quit until I’m dead
I’m like a steam locomotive
I’ve got all this love to give
There ain’t nothing wrong with chasing
What it is you love the most
So come hell or high water
We’ll just call it rock and roll

YOUR WAY HOME
03:46
|
|||
You get lost on the road with the blues sometimes
All the rolling with the punches and toeing the line
Like a wave it’s so swift getting swept in the tide
Take a shot on your heart and reach for the light
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
The days keep on stacking and passing you by
It could end any day just a roll of the die
Don’t get hung on the past gotta leave it behind
Never know where you’ll go ‘til you get up and try
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
Ain’t no day like today to free up your mind
To be born from a dream with the fire in your eyes
If you’re scared it’s alright you got love on your side
You were born to be free so go ahead and fly
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
You might find your way home
