A Girl Like You
03:01

I don’t mind if you can’t love me
Just need to know that you still care
I wanna know if you think of me
I close my eyes but you’re still there
Why has time drawn a line between us
It just doesn’t seem fair
They say things happen for a reason
That’s why I just don’t understand
A girl like you, could make my dreams come true
And drive the hurt right out of sad
Some things come, and some things never go
You may not love me, but mine will always grow
I was down for such a long time
It hurt so bad till I met you
It’s just so hard being sad and lonely
That’s how I am when I’m not with you
A girl like you, could make my dreams come true
And drive the hurt right out of sad
A girl like you, could make my dreams come true
And drive the hurt right out of sad

Nice Guys Finish Last

I saw her sittin’ there, sittin’ in that bar room chair
Lookin’ mighty fine through the smoke that filled the air
She looked up at me, and I could plainly see
That pretty little thing just put a spell right over me
So I fell into a trance, and I took a little chance
I thought that she dug me, or so it seemed
Started acting like a clown, didn’t mean to bring her down
I was caught up in a trance and jaded from reality
I said that she looked fine, and she said I was too kind
So I guess next time I’ll have to be an ass
She was such a crazy lady, and she liked to mess around
But when I called her out, I just got shot down to the ground
Wasn’t lookin’ for romance, but I took a little chance
But the shit just hit the fan, now she don’t want me
Now you really can’t blame me, I’m not the fool I seem to be
I may be getting’ old, but I ain’t dead
I never take my own advice, even when I do think twice
I always seem to want what I can’t have
I’ve been shot down to the ground, and now I can’t fool around
All because nice guys finish last
Now this really ain’t so bad, and it’s really not that sad
She said we always want the things that we can never have
She may not want me, but that’s alright you’ll see
Just as long as she still wants my body
Now this really ain’t so bad, and it’s really not that sad
She said we always want the things that we can never have
She may not want me, but that’s alright ya see
Just as long as she still wants my body
She may not want me, but that’s alright ya see
Just as long as she still wants my body
Now this really ain’t so bad, and I want what I can’t have
But she knows, I know, she still wants my body

Actin' Like A Fool

Was lookin’ for some sunshine till I got a look at you
Saw that twinkle in your eye and started acting like a fool
Stuck my foot right in my mouth, “Welcome back” you said
Just couldn’t seem to help myself, oops here I go again
There ain’t no way around it, but I got a thing for you
Can’t put my finger on it, but there’s nothin’ I can do
There’s no fool like an old fool, or so the story goes
I guess I said too much again, I guess that’s how I roll
I got a thing for you and there’s not much I can do
So I guess I’ll just keep acting like a fool
I got a thing for you and there’s not much I can do
So I guess I’ll just keep acting like a fool
You’re such a crazy lady, and there’s nothin’ I can do
Except tell you what I think, I think I’m crazy over you
Can’t stop my head from spinnin’, and it’s in a whirlwind
Sorry, here I go, I think I said too much again
Been caught between a rock and a hardplace for so long
Can’t get you off my mind, there’s just no sunshine when your gone
I really like the way you roll in everything you do
I guess that I’ll just have to be a fool for lovin’ you
I got a thing for you and there’s not much I can do
So I guess I’ll just keep acting like a fool
So I guess I’ll just keep acting like a fool
So I guess I’ll just keep acting like a fool………

Tin Man
04:16

Once I knew a tin man
He told me something wasn’t right
He wandered round so aimlessly
Through the darkness of the night
Misfortune undercover
Seeking shelter from the storm
The tin man could see clearly
This wasn’t working anymore
Random lines of verbage
To describe a wandering mind
A lonely heart, a tired man
Just trying to understand
Deep in thought translation
Although cobwebs cloud his mind
With waves of mass confusion
Moving forward through the night
He even took to drinking
It used to make him feel so good
Just don’t like it anymore he said
I only wish I could
Maybe I’ll just hop a train
Maybe I’ll just catch a bus
I’m just a soldier of misfortune
Gotta shake off all this rust
He said it’s time for changes
Things that meant so much before
And it’s time for rearranging
They don’t mean so much no more
All I ever wanted
Was a heart he softly spoke
But in the end, he said my friend
Guess I don’t need it anymore
He said it’s time for changes
Things that meant so much before
And it’s time for rearranging
They don’t mean so much no more
All I ever wanted
Was a heart he softly spoke
But in the end, he said my friend
I don’t need it anymore
He said it’s time for changes
I don’t need it anymore
It just hurts too much for sure

Someday

Won’t someone save me from myself
Where I’m bound for I’m not sure
I think my heart just needs a rest
It’s just fallen through the floor
Seems the devils got a hold on me
And I’m runnin’ short on time
I think someone threw a hex at me
For God’s sake I don’t know why
Sometimes it would be easy
To crawl into a hole and die
And I wish no one could see me
I wanna hide my face and cry
It seems I’m my own worst enemy
And as every days go by
Another piece just seems to break away
And I feel all dead inside
I wish that I could find a drug
That could take this pain away
I’ll have to pray to God above
To see me through another day
There must be some kind of reason
For this lack of harmony
So I guess I’ll have to carry on
Maybe someday I will see
Maybe someday I will see
Maybe someday I will see
Maybe someday I will see

Roll Me Over
04:09
|

|
I lay awake and wonder, just what the hell went wrong
I look outside this window, feeling two foot small
Out of sight and out of mind, that’s how it seems to me
Wish I could go back in time, to another century
I’m tired of getting’ old, tired of bustin bricks
Tired of being broke, tired of this bullshit
Tired of chasing rainbows, tired of getting’ hurt
And I’m tired of eatin’ dirt……
Just roll me over, just knock me out
I ain’t givin’ up, there ain’t no dought
Just keep shovelin’ dirt, right on top of me
Ya see I’m already six feet under, but I’m diggin’ out ya see
There’s just gotta be some way out of here
It’s just some sort of dirty trick
I’m just waiting for, the next wave to hit
And I’m getting tired of all this shit
Just roll me over, just knock me out
I ain’t givin’ up, there ain’t no dought
There’s just gotta be some way out of here
It’s just some sort of dirty trick
I’m just waiting for, the next wave to hit
And I’m getting tired of all this shit
There’s just gotta be some way out of here
It’s just some sort of dirty trick
I’m just waiting for, the next wave to hit
And I’m getting tired of all this shit
I’m getting really tired
I’m getting’ tired of this shit

Starry Night
05:34

Have you ever gazed into a starry night
And waited on the morning light
Did you ever wake and wonder why you couldn’t see
The morning sky was shining bright
Have you ever felt the walls were closing in
Have you ever treaded ice that’s growing thin
Have you ever felt the sands of time go blowing through your mind
Did you ever stop and really wonder why
Those days are gone, the nights are long
There’s something very out of place you see.
A lonely song, there’s something wrong
Some things are just not meant to be
It’s only now, I can realize
It’s darkest just before the light
And only on, your darkest night
The brightest stars can shine so bright
Is it just me or can you see
Is this a dream or destiney
There can only be a shadow if there is a light
It’s just another starry night
Some things are just not meant to be
We only seek serenity
A dream come true most likely not reality
Just doesn’t make much sense to me
Those days are gone, the nights are long
There’s something very out of place you see.
A lonely song, there’s something wrong
Some things are just not meant to be
It’s only now, I can realize
It’s darkest just before the light
And only on, your darkest night
The brightest stars can shine so bright
Is it just me or can you see
Is this a dream or destiney
There can only be a shadow if there is a light
It’s just another starry night
It’s just another starry night
It’s just another starry night
It’s just another starry night

I Said Too Much
03:24
|

You know I saw the way,
the way you looked at me,
when I was walkin through that door
Right from the very start,
ya know you stole my heart,
and now it’s layin’ on the floor
I know it’s plain to see,
that you don’t care for me,
and you don’t need me anymore
Guess I’ll just move along,
cause I just took it wrong,
you just won’t see me anymore
I think I might have said too much,
that’s just a chance I had to take
It’s just a low down dirty shame,
It had to turn out this way
Well I won’t come around,
and I won’t bring you down,
you just won’t see me anymore
Guess I’ll just move along,
cause I just took it wrong,
I’ll find my way back through that door
I think I might have said too much,
that’s just a chance I had to take
It’s just a low down dirty shame,
it had to turn out this way
I think I found out in the end,
some things are better left, when there left unsaid
You gotta hide your heart away.
or else your gonna have, a very heavy price to pay
You better hide your heart away….

Love Is Blind
04:01
|
|||
|
I just can’t find the words to say, it’s driving me insane
This seems to happen all the time
Wonderin’ if it’s worth it, kinda thinkin’ that it ain’t
This just might be a waste of time
So why I try I don’t know why
I can find the melody, I can’t find the words to say
That I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
You brought me sunshine, then you took it all away
I think about you all the time
And I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
I think about you all the time
I don’t know why but love is blind
No one could love you like I do
Even when it leaves me feelin’ blue
There’s not a single day goes by that I don’t think of you
I wonder if I cross your mind
You’re nothing but a memory and there’s nothing I can do
Your photograph is in my mind
It must have been a waste of time
I can find the melody, I can’t find the words to say
That I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
You brought me sunshine, then you took it all away
I think about you all the time
And I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
I think about you all the time
I don’t know why but love is blind
No one could love you like I do
Even when it leaves me feelin’ blue
I just can’t seem to get you off my mind
I think about you all the time
I don’t know why but love is blind
No one could love you like I do
Even when it leaves me feelin’ blue
No one could love you like I do
Even when it leaves me feelin’ blue…
