Rock n Roll
03:23
|
|||
|
In the beginning there was the noise
Travelled from town to town
Girls to Boys
Under the radar for such a long time
Until explosions rattled the mind
And then it came around
Then it could be found
Rock & Roll runs like a rhythm to the sea
Rock & Roll is anything it wants to be
Much too simple went out the cry
Nothin’ like this before
Certain to die
And so they sharpened every blade they could find
To stab it through it’s heart and leave it blind
But then it came as a surprise
When the world opened up its eyes
Rock & Roll runs like a river to the sea
Rock & Roll is anything it wants to be
So many eras come and gone
Sometimes the flame burned bright
Sometimes was gone
But when a thing has life
It’s eager to stay
And so this tribal sound
Still lives today
And like it or not
It’s what we got
Rock & Roll runs like a river to the sea
Rock & Roll is everything it wants to be
Yeah yeah, ad lib.

Leaf On a Tree
03:39
|
|||
|
Sometimes the wind blows like its back ain’t got no bone
Sometimes the music drives me far away from home
But when the playing’s over then I gotta stop and see
Just what does it all mean where’s reality
Yeah oh yeah
But it’s all right with me
If I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
Yeah it’s all right with me
If I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
Later in the evening when the sun in goin’ down
I might have to fix myself another couple rounds
But it can be dangerous when you’re putting out the lights
Cause you won’t see anything in the middle of the night
Yeah oh yeah
But it’s all right with me
If I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
Yeah it’s all right with me
If I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
If I’m shaking
If I’m shaking
If I’m sha sha shaking like a leaf on a tree
Mama always told me don’t worry too much son
Cause things have a way of coming round and getting done
And I still believe her and I know I always will
Even when that wind is bringing on its mighty chill
Yeah Oh yeah
But it’s all right with me
If I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
Yeah it’s all right with me
If I’m shaking like a leaf on a tree
If I’m shaking
If I’m shaking
If I’m sha sha shaking like a leaf on a tree
Like a leaf on a tree

Tavern
03:54
|
|||
|
Candle burns low on my table
Juke box sings its same sad song
And here she comes again with another
And I know I’ll be sitting here much too long
Night flows on like a river
Wrapping its arms all around me
Though I don’t know where it’s going
I know it’s a place I need to be
Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
Spend my life in this tavern
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Don’t know exactly how this happened
Never did have one big plan
Oh but now that I see it
What I need to do is understand
Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
Spend my life in this tavern
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
And when my candle burns out
I’ll light a new one
So there’s always a flame in front of me
Spend my life in this tavern
Cause it feels like home to me
Spend my life in this tavern
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me
Watching the days disappear
Like the beer in front of me

Just One Day
03:38
|
|||
|
Just one day after another
Keeps me from where I belong
Just one day after another
Don’t know how long
I’ll be strong
And it’s a damn shame
If I let it get me down
With no reason to even
Touch the sky
And it’s a hard fight
Both hands tied behind my back
So I can’t even learn how to fly
Just one day after another
Keeps me from where I belong
Where I belong
Just one day after another
Don’t know how long
I’ll go on
Don’t know how long
I’ll be strong
And it’s a damn shame
If I let it get me down
With no reason to even
Touch the sky
And it’s a hard fight
Both hands tied behind my back
So I can’t even learn how to fly
Just one day after another
Keeps me from where I belong
Where I belong
Just one day after another
Don’t know how long
I’ll go on
Don’t know how long
I’ll be strong
How long
How long

Time
03:58
|
|||
|
In the dark the light don’t shine
In the light the dark don’t mind
Sometimes shadows in between
Are all I find
Nothin’ wrong in being here
I can always move over there
or anywhere I search for peace of mind
But it’s fine to just get by
And it’s fine to try and try
But it’s time that sees so clear
And that’s everything that brought me here
In my head I bump and grind
In my bed I got what’s mine
In the mirror I can read off every line
Catching up and going fast
Every race from first to last
Running red lights
And every fool I pass
But it’s fine to just get by
And it’s fine to try and try
But it’s time that sees so clear
And that’s everything that brought us here
Oh oh oh etc.

Red Dress
02:46
|

|
She can do anything
When she sets her mind
She can have a real good time
Without even trying
When she’s got the red dress on
Yeah she’s got the red dress on
Well she knows just what to do
Make a believer out of you
When she’s got the red dress on
Well she knows how to dance
You oughta see her twirl
She can change your life
Put you in another world
When she’s got the red dress on
Yeah she’s got the red dress on
Well she’ll say some things to you
But you won’t know if they’re true
When she’s got the red dress on
I see her in my mind
So I can lover her all the time
yeah I can love her all the time
When she’s got that red dress on

Raining In My Heart
03:51
|
|||
|
It’s raining in my heart
Every time I try to start something with you
I like a cloudy sky
When I don’t know exactly what it’s gonna do
Sometimes it rains sometimes it snows
Sometimes it all just blows away
But this stormin’ in my heart
Will just rage on and on and on
It’s here to stay
And I don’t know what to do with my heart
I may take it and tear it all apart
Just so long as I know where you are
It’s raining in my heart
Every time I try to start something with you
So come on baby
Why don’t you try and take me out of the rain
Let’s go inside somewhere
Where it’s dry and a little less insane
We’ll hang our hats and chat about
Each and every single little thing
We’ll sit close enough
To see exactly what tomorrow brings
And I don’t know what you’ll do with my heart
But I’ll give it to you
It’s time you left your mark
Thunder and Lightning are writing in the dark
It’s raining in my heart
Every time I try to start something with you
It’s raining in my heart
Every time I try to start something with you

Shooby Doo Wop
03:18
|
|||
|
Won’t you come over next to me
Until you the only thing I see
Then you can tell me just how you feel
And then I’ll know our love is real
And we’ll sing
Shooby doo wop
Shooby doo wop baby
Shooby doo wop
Shooby doo wop baby
Then we can see how far ahead
We can look at all the things we said
Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And we’re gonna take it anyway
And we’ll sing
Shooby doo wop
Shooby doo wop baby
Shooby doo wop
Shooby doo wop baby

Something About You
02:39
|
|||
|
Oh baby let’s get wasted
And kill some time the way we used to do
It don’t matter what we’ve tasted
Long as we can get together me and you
I don’t want you to feel obligated
I don’t want you up against the wall
Oh but baby I’d sure like to see you
If I only had the number that I need to call
Must be something about you
Something that drives the needle into the red
I’m overloaded when we’re together
Somethings I guess are better left unsaid
Oh baby do you remember
The kisses in the doorway where we tried to hide
Hide from the cold and other people’s faces
If only we had had a place to go inside
I remember rock & roll music
And everything that made us feel so good
I remember sometimes thinking
If this could last forever than I wish it would
Must be something about you
Something that drives the needle into the red
I’m overloaded when we’re together
Somethings I guess are better left unsaid
Must be something about you
Something that drives the needle into the red
I’m overloaded when we’re together
Somethings I guess are better left unsaid
Oh baby let’s get wasted
And kill some time the way we used to do
It don’ matter what we’ve tasted
Long as we can get together me and you
Long as we can get together me and you

Move Along
03:25
|
|||
|
Where do you think you’re goin’
What’ll think you’ll do
Running down this highway
You never even knew
Better pack your suitcase
Filled with stuff that’s warm
You’ll need some protection
Once the blue skies turn to storm
And you will
Yeah you will
Move along
It don’t really matter
What you left behind
You ain’t going nowhere
If you never change your mind
For even when your ride
Is running out of fuel
You’ll need to remember
What it takes to break the rules
And you will
Yeah you will
Move along
Move along
Oh Oh Oh etc.
Then step into the unknown
Wherever it may lead
Until you find your refection
In a place where you can be
For once you see yourself
In a place that’s fresh and new
You’ll know why you were running
And what you need to do
And you will
Yeah you will
Move along
Move along
Move along
Move along
Oh Oh Oh etc.

On the Road
03:43
|
|||
|
I can’t believe what I’m seeing today
So many things come and go
Like lights flashing fast
So soon part of the past
That my mind often doesn’t really know
But I’m on the road
Waving at each passing sign
Yeah I’m on the road
Driving until I go blind
I guess it’s all right
Things can change overnight
No sense in denying the facts
Still part of me cries
Like a dog left outside
Cause I’m chasing time that ain’t coming back
But I’m on the road
Chasing my dreams like the wind
Yeah I’m on the road
Each time I stop I know I must begin
The long winding road
There to explore
No matter how it turns twists or bends
Sometimes it’s the devil
Sometimes it’s a friend
Who will never let you see
Where it ends
But I’m on the road
Chasing my dreams like the wind
Yeah I’m on the road
Each time I stop I know I must begin

The Lucky Ones
03:48
|
|||
|
And what else could we do
But find what's false and true
And be as strong as we can
Learn how to take a stand
And rise above our fears
To make it through the years
And then we’d all be here again
Cause we were the lucky ones
Looking back at the time gone by
Everything is clear to me
And everything I see
Lives like a memory
And I know
We were the lucky ones
Yeah I know
We were the lucky ones
Events that changed our lives
Come into view again
And not just the time gone by
But the long and lasting friends
And I know
We were the lucky ones
Yeah I know
We were the lucky ones
The lucky ones
The lucky ones
We were the lucky ones
Everything is new again
Not like before but I remember when
We tried so hard not to hide
But bare our souls
And not destroy our lives
And I know
We were the lucky ones
Yeah I know
We were the lucky ones
The lucky ones
The lucky ones
We were the lucky ones
And what else could we do
But find what's false and true
And be as strong as we can
Learn how to take a stand
And rise above our fears
To make it through the years
And then we’d all be here again
Cause we were the lucky ones
