All Wars Start This Way 03:00
lyrics

I'll never give up This is my resignation I'm sick of being sick and tired Do you know what I mean? I never believed The stupid explanations I'm older and wiser now You'll never get the best of me You say it's alright Then you go try to sell me an upside Start a war and put me in the middle I'm sick of being sick and tired Do you know you know what I mean Keep your gasoline And what's left of the nation I'm pulling all my cash out; I won't pay for my slavery Pollute the air that I breathe With one way conversations Taking up my cause now, rewriting the old tragedy By me You say I'm not right Your words are wool to pull down over my eyes Start a war and put me in the middle I'm sick of being sick and tired Ya you know what I mean What about me? What about me? 1,2,3, Go You say I'm not right Your words are wool to pull down over my eyes Start a war for your piece in the middle I'm sick of being sick and tired I'm sick of being sick and tired I'm sick of being sick and tired Do you you know what I mean Know what I mean Do you you know what I mean

The Same 03:40
lyrics

If you ever need me, close your eyes and call my name Picture my face smiling always shining staring back at you Shake and pull the pin out. Do your damage; make your case Stop this tirade and your attitude What if I told you that we’re all the same and showed you love? Would it justify your daily pains? Would you give them up? Would there ever be one good reason to complain if we’re all the same? Fly too high you’ll stall out Falling back to earth again If you stand divided you’ll never find it you’ll never feel awake Before I finally come back could you remember you’re okay Picture my face smiling always shining, looking out for you What if I told you that we’re all the same and showed you love? Would it justify your daily pains? Would you give them up? Would there ever be one good reason to complain if we’re all the same? If you ever need me, close your eyes and call my name Picture my face smiling always shining staring back at you Shake and pull the pins out. Do your damage; make your case If you stand divided you’ll never find it you’ll never feel awake What if I told you that we’re all the same and showed you love? Would it justify your daily pains? Would you give them up? Would there ever be one good reason to complain if we’re all the same?

Viva 03:34

In a rage, I was drinking all night Still can't remember all the details right Started with some whisky, finished with a fight Woke up with a cutie. It's good to be alive, Yeah In a daze we were up the whole night Still can't remember all the details right Started undercover; woke up outside She screamed “Hey where you goin'?”Left her with a smile Babe I hate to leave you but I got to go Goodbye Blackwell Texas. Hello Mexico Driving 85 all night, but it still too slow. Viva San Juan del Rio Viva rock and roll! Hit the stage at 11:05 Started with Tequila, chased it with a lime Hello Senorita do you have the time? She said her name was Margarita, and shook me all night Babe I hate to leave ya but I gotta go Goodbye San Juan del Rio, home away from home Te llevare para siempre en mi corazon Viva San Juan del Rio Viva Rock and Roll Now we're back to driving down the same old road Kind of got to thinking, tryin' to fight the hot and the cold flashes Is there any point to living or are we just getting old? Am I living life right? Or just selling my soul I knock but no one asnwers I seek but I can't find I cannot solve this riddle Can't get no peace of mind Some will try the needle, climb a steeple or deny, but no one on this planet is getting out alive Everyone is medicated Everything is over-rated, Overstated, overhated. Life is getting complicated Forces fighting for control But nothing ever fills the holes Between the sets, between the shows After all the curtains close So enjoy this time together Every beat and every measure All the pain and all the pleasure Make this moment last forever Raise your glasses make a toast Find a stranger hold her close Every country every coast To no one going home alone!! In a rage, I was wasting my time Stil can't remember all the details right Started with a quarter finished with a dime There's only one prescription: Rock and roll tonight. I really hate to leave you but I've got to go. Goodbye San Juan del Rio, home away from home Te llevare para siempre en mi Corazon Viva San Juan del Rio. Viva Rock n’ Roll. Viva San Juan del Rio. Viva Rock n’ Roll.

Run 03:37

You remind me of someone I knew When I was in love Some things are harder to choose than to do So I'm drinking again I slept in my car I'm here on a stage and in a crowd How can you just let things fall apart When I tried so hard How can you just let things fall apart When we've come so far How can you just let things fall apart When I tried so hard How can you just let things fall apart I guess it's my turn to run They say the grass is greener when You're alone, but when I'm in love You're the last thing I want to lose What can I do So I'm Thinking again I'm lost in the yards I see through your stare Let down your guard How can you just let things fall apart When I tried so hard How can you just let things fall apart When we've come so far How can you just let things fall apart When I tried so hard How can you just let things fall apart I guess it's my turn to run I guess I'll go on again Broken by you Embracing the fall again Into the blue I want to know why You can't try You won't try How can you just let things fall apart When I tried so hard How can you just let things fall apart When we've come so far How can you just let things fall apart When I tried so hard How can you just let things fall apart I guess it's my turn to run To run to run My turn to run To run To run My Turn to... To run

Anything 03:57

Wake up Your time has come You're not the only one Don't waste too much time you'll regret never breaking the rules The enemy that stands at the gates is the ghost of you Well I'll break in the temple and write on the walls to make sure my message gets through I'll scream from the rooftops and set them on fire to shine a bright light for you You can do anything You can do for you You can choose anything You can choose to do Patience this road is long Take it before it's gone You can tell by these lines in my face I didn't choose The history that's stored in your brain is not the truth Well I'll break in the fortress and tear down the walls to blaze a white trail right through Don't look to the heavens. Don't look to the stars; the future is with me and you You can do anything You can do for you You can choose anything You can choose to do You can do You can do anything you can choose to do We've been waiting for so long We've been crying for too long For someone like you We've been trying for too long Fighting the tides toward a new sun For someone like you

Drunk Mistake 03:44
lyrics

No one ever could please her Long enough to keep her around No one ever stayed either So she learned how to break them down Well I knew it was a big mistake By the trail of dead in her wake I’ve got a fever and she’s my love dealer No one ever could please her All these men seem to let her down She stays mad and gets even Gave me the runaround Well I knew it was a big mistake The way she made my blood boil in my veins You’ll get high off her ether and she’s my love dealer Things weren’t always this way Someone used her up and threw her away She stays mad and gets even She’d rather love ‘em and leave ‘em Wanting more more more Loves to love ‘em and leave em. I’m no good but not evil It’s hard to keep a good man down Had to love her and leave her So she still comes around Always looking for the next mistake To chase all these demons away You don’t want her; you need her She’s my love dealer Things weren’t always this way Someone used her up and threw her away She don’t get mad she gets even She’d rather love ‘em and leave ‘em Wanting more more more Loves to love ‘em and leave em Wanting more more more

Marry Him 04:24

Hello Chicago here we go again Standing up in a funeral for a friend It’s all comin’ right back again I know she don’t wanna to marry him He’s not her lover; He’s not her friend He owns a factory and some land I ain’t got much and he’s got everthing I know she don’t wanna to marry him She’s stomping on a bed of roses Forces pull her in as she opposes Sick of living life going through the motions I know she don’t wanna marry him Standing up like a traitor in this church on Grand We used to be lovers, but now were friends She stares at me like she has a plan I know she don’t wanna marry him Hand in hand were storming through the fortress Double doors swinging out into the open Sick of living life going through the motions I know she don’t wanna marry him Marry Him Marry Him Hello Chicago here we are again Some of us lovers and some just friends We ain’t got much but we’ve got everything We know she don’t wanna marry him She’s stomping on a bed of roses Forces pull her in as she opposes Sick of living life going through the motions I know she don’t wanna marry him I know she don’t wanna marry him. I know she don’t wanna carry him. I know she don’t wanna bury him. I know it you know it she won’t marry him. I know she knows she won’t marry him. I know it, she knows, he knows, we know. I know she don’t wanna marry him.

A summer storm arrives across the midnight sky Are you still awake tonight? Is everything okay? This feeling is familiar. I take it as a sign Bright lights flash the pavement and dim the Northern Lights The air begins to slow and turns to stone Water fill these holes I never made the phone call, but you were always on my mind You never know a person until they stand to fight This test is too familiar, but I guess you’re right Thunder breaks the cadence and brings me back to life. The air begins to slow and turns to stone Water fill these holes out on my patrol

Devil Don't Care 04:21

He'll never take me down Down to the darkness Down with the devil The coldest feeling I've felt Like claws on the back of my neck I could tell by the smell of it's breath It would try to take me down I can't pretend I'm not aware Hate the devil and the devil don’t care Try to force me in this hole in the ground And I'll take you down I will kick and fight; I will seize the night; cause I know that you ain't got nothin' on me Look into your eyes and pry out the knife you tried to bury in me I will stand to fight; keep you in my sights cause I know that you ain't got nothin' on me Put you in a vice and will squeeze all the life out of you cause I'm still here I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet He'll never take me down Down to the darkness Down with the devil, baby The talent is getting pretty thin I've committed unoriginal sins If this is living then I don't want to live But I can't stop now I won’t pretend you don't stare Hate this devil and the devil don’t care Rising up up from this hole in ground For another round I see through your smiles; track you down for miles cause I know that you ain't got nothin' on me I will take my time hang you out to dry; I know better than you'll ever know you I will start the fight this time; expose your lies cause you ain't got nothin' on me Put you in a vice and squeeze all the life outta you cause I'm still here I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet Still alive and kicking, I’ve got time on my side All rise I will stand and fight I will seize the night cause I know that you aint got nothin' on me Take my time, hold you to the light I know you better than you’ll ever know you I’ll win the fight keep you in my sights, cause I know that you aint got nothin’ on me Put you in a vice and squeeze all the life outta you cause I’m still here! I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet I'm not dead yet He'll never take me down

Goodbye 06:23

It's okay If you don't know What to say Being here means everything I'll Live for the day Learn to love the life you've got the clock is ticking I will remember you Just how you want me to I still see your face in the lives that remain I know I'll always remember you You The wheel turns around and it won't stop now The wheel turns around. It just slowed down for now I will remember you Just how you want me to A something remains like a Sun through the rain I know You took part of me with you You The wheel turns around It won't stop now It's so hard to say goodbye I will remember you Just how you want me to On my final days I will look for your face To come through Will you be the first to come Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye So long Goodbye For now Goodbye So long Goodnight
