Fighting Himself
04:57
|
|||
|
All he ever wanted to be is loved
So why's he got to make it so tough
When the girl of his dreams walks into his life
Why's he got to go and make all this strife
He's only fighting himself
He's only fighting himself
So instead of pushing her away
Tell her that you love her more everyday
So they sit under the shade of this tree
Laugh and joke and play they are so happy
Everybody else around you can see
That you two oh yeah you're just meant to be
He's only fighting himself
He's only fighting himself
So instead of pushing her away
Tell her that you love her more everyday
Their love was true and straight from the heart
Nothing could ever tear them apart
But love sometimes it ceases
And leaves your heart on the floor in bits and pieces
He's only fighting himself
He's only fighting himself
So instead of pushing her away
Tell her that you love her more everyday
He's only fighting himself
He's only fighting himself
So instead of pushing her away
Tell her that you love her in every way

Musical Journey

You're from a different time and a different frame of mind
Money is what your seek
With your collar down and your tie around and shoes on your feet
Oh that's not me
I am living free
On a musical journey
Destination unknown
When you on the road
Just this guitar and me
Guitar and me
What makes me happy are good times that I share
With my friends and family
And playing music to people everywhere I go
To strangers and people I know
So before you come around and drag me to the ground
The ground on which you stand
Just have a look at the smile that's on my face
That's why I'm so happy
Every single day I'm enjoying
The best birthday gift that I have received
That is the gift of my life my life my life
I'm so lucky because I can play my song
It goes whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
So I'm enjoying the journey
It's not the destination that matters to me
Just as long as I enjoy the journey
What makes me happy are good times that I share
With my friends and family
And playing music to people everywhere I go
To strangers and people I know
So before you come around and drag me to the ground
The ground on which you stand
Just have a look at the smile that's on my face
These are the things that make me so happy

When I look into your eyes
I see who are on the inside
Someone I want in my life
Someone I want by my side
I wanna be with you
Forever
I wanna be with you
I don't want no one else
I only want you
You know I'll always be truthful
You know I'd always treat you right
You know I'd never mean to hurt you
I just want to hug and hold you tight
I wanna be with you
Forever
I wanna be with you
I don't want no one else
I only want you
As the tears hit the page
There is nothing, nothing more to say
So could please give me a chance to make things right
Coz I won't be happy without you in my life
I wanna be with you
Forever
I don't want no one else
I only want you
I want you, want you, want you
Forever
Only want you

Curtain Of Life
03:55
|
|||
|
I look up into the sky that's where I find my peace of mind
I can see a new sun is rising and I know there is some hope on the horizon
And I know you've been through a hard time
Don't let it get you down down down down
Coz we are better when you are around
You're not the only one that doesn't understand understand
Why why
Why are they so unkind to me
Why why
Can't they be like the beautiful stars in the
Sky sky
Are they just holes in the curtain of life
The curtain of life
And each time that we stumble is represented by another hole
And all those stars form a galaxy and it makes a stronger human being
All the times that you've been knocked down
Gotta get up off the ground ground ground ground
Coz all the mistreatment that has happened to you all the wrongs and the rights and mistakes
It's not long til you earn your break
and you say
Why why
Why are they so unkind to me
Why why
Can't they be like the trees that float in the breeze
How can they
Break heart like waves in the sea
It's all crashing on me
and you say
Why why
Why are they so unkind to me
Why why
Can't they be like the beautiful stars in the
Sky sky
Are they just holes in the curtain of life
The curtain of life

Familiar Tale
04:01
|
|||
|
I don't know where you're from
I don't know where you're from
I don't know where you're from
But I sure as hell ain't going there
I don't know where you been
I don't know where you been
I don't know where you been
But I know you've been there too long
And it's a familiar tale
Will he succeed or will he fail
And it's the same same same old story
Risking all for love for glory
You say that you are leaving town
Don't want to hang around
You're on a one way track
Don't plan on ever turning back no
Til you find what you're searching for
Your on a one way track looking for something more
Your train is rolling down the line
Could derail at anytime
You left the one you love behind
To take a long train ride
You don't know where I came from
You don't know where I came from
You don't know where I came from
Where I came from
But I sure as hell wouldn't go down there
You don't know where I've been
You don't know where I've been
You don't know where I've been
You don't know where I've been no
But I know what I'm searching for
And it's waiting for me at the end of the line
I've just got to get there on time
Steam train rolling down the line
Two tracks intertwined

Good Time
04:47
|
|||
|
I'm driving down this winding road
Got to make it on time for the show
And my only companion is the radio
Thoughts in my head yes I'm all alone
Playing music
Is my passion
Coz it makes people smile
Just want to entertain you
Not play you for a fool
Doing things that other people think are cool
I'm not here to preach
Just want to help you have a good time yeah whooo
Clap along sing a song stomp your feet
Can you feel the beat
I don't get high and mighty underneath stage lights
And tell you what you should do or give you my advice
Freedom to speak the mind is everybody's right
So I express with my music and don't talk all night
You don't need no one
To tell you what to do
You all have minds of your own
I'm not here to whinge
I'm not here to moan
Just because I have a microphone
I'm not here to preach
Just want to help you have a good time yeah whooo
Clap along sing a song stomp your feet
Can you feel the beat
Just want to have some fun
Not tell no one to dislike someone
Because of what they did or done
No that's not my idea of a good time
I'm not here to preach
Just want to help you have a good time yeah whooo
Clap along sing a song stomp your feet
Can you feel the beat

Take A Look
04:43
|
|||
|
I don't want to see you cry
Oh every time
You try to push it onto me
Because you make it so easy
To blame someone else
Take a look at yourself
Situation not the way it should be
And you are left feeling unhappy
Point the finger at yourself and not at me
Because you make you make your own destiny
And it's so easy
To blame someone else
Take a look at yourself
Someone else
Take a look at yourself
Sometimes it's easier to look elsewhere for someone who might care
Take a look inside yourself you'll find the answer there

Don't You Lie To Me
03:27
|
|||
|
Let's talk it over babe before we start
I heard about they way you over do your part
But don't you lie to me
But don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
There's two kinds of people that I just can't stand
and that's a lying woman and a sneaking man
But don't you lie to me
But don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
Here's a proposition that I'll give to you
Give you all my loving if you give me yours too
But don't you lie to me
But don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
I'll be with you til cows come home
but don't you let me catch baby get down wrong
But don't you lie to me
But don't you lie to me
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be
Because it makes me mad and I get evil as a man can be

Change
04:24
|

|
Two hearts worn on each sleeve
Each thought the other would not leave
Until one fateful year
One by one they disappeared
Oh and they started to change
Oh they changed
Oh they weren't the same
All of a sudden it was not like them
They decided they would not care
Was it something they did
Made them go and act like this
Made them start to change
Oh they changed
Oh they weren't the same
When the pain went away
They could see a brighter day
Oh as the days past
Made friendships that would always last
Oh and these three hearts
Had been given fresh new starts
Oh and they started to change
Oh they changed
Oh they weren't the same
Oh they were so much better this way

Following You
04:25
|
|||
|
It happened one cruel day we two ran away
and you know I'd be following you
Stole a loaf of bread hungry mouths to be fed
So I took my girl and Left before they arrived
One day we'll be free with a dream of you and me
and poverty will be with us no longer
So baby dry your tears and lord do not fear
and you know I'd be following you
Time was wearing thin we could hear them closing in
It started our hearts on a race
Destined to be caught our freedom lost but fought
and you know I'd be following you
One day we'll be free with a dream of you and me
and poverty will be with us no longer
So baby dry your tears and lord do not fear
and you know I'd be following you
It happened one cruel day we two ran away
and you know I'd be following you
Stole a loaf of bread hungry mouths to be fed
So I took my girl and Left before they arrived
One day we'll be free with a dream of you and me
and poverty will be with us no longer
So baby dry your tears and lord do not fear
and you know I'd be following you
One day we'll be free with a dream of you and me
and poverty will be with us no longer
So baby dry your tears and lord do not fear
and you know I'd be following you
and you know I'd be following you
and you know I'd be following you

Trust Nobody No More
03:11
|

|
Well let me sing you a little tune
That I just wrote one afternoon
Bout how I always getting screwed
Take a walk with me what do you have lose
and then you'll see after being in my shoes
Why I just can't
Trust nobody no more
Well it's just my luck I guess I can't complain
I had my up's and down's like every other man
But it feel like it always happen to me
They say that honesty's the best policy
but where the hell has that gotten me
and I just can't
Trust no body no more
Well I've had my heart broken a couple of times
When I've thrown it out there on the line
With this good faith of mine
Well thank you girl for your lack of compassion
But I guess i didn't see it coming
But I just can't
Trust no body no more
Well things were said in the past
That made me think that it would always last
I guess you were just talking out your ass
Well time it heals but you don't forget
It just makes life harder to get on with
and I just can't
Trust nobody no more
Well I guess the futures not as bleak as it seem
It's just getting harder to follow my dreams
When I can't believe a word anyone says
We'' it's the lies I'm told that have crushed my soul
but hopefully I'm getting wise and old
but til then I just can't
Trust no body no more
