All The Right Reasons
03:40
|
|||
We were young and wild pulled in by the undertow
Who were you to understand and who was I to know
We had every intention of carrying on
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong
Dancing in the dark in the summer rain
And the girl you took home didn’t know your name
Not a day goes by I don’t remember that song
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong
No one ever tells you, cuz no one really knows
How to play the game, you learn it as you go
I told you I would stay but I never did belong
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong
So confused and I couldn’t see clear
And I missed you so much all the rest of that year
But you knew you couldn’t keep stringing me along
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong
No one ever tells you, cuz no one really knows
How to play the game, you learn it as you go
I told you I would stay but I never did belong
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong
You had all the right reasons for doing me wrong

On The Way
03:10
|

We Running free and feeling so alive
Wore out the wheels on that old 65
Never thought we’d end up running blind
Tarot cards and shooting stars can’t say
Whether we should try to break away
Or stay the course to run another day
But on the way just when you think you’ve hit dry land
You can’t feel the ground
And on the way you think its a straight shot think again
Cuz you’ll get turned around
Shake it off again and you found
You’re right where you belong
Roads connecting life and love to the unknown
Go crazy if you stay out there too long
The signs are there to find your way back home
But on the way just when you think you’ve hit dry land
You can’t feel the ground
And on the way you think its a straight shot think again
Cuz you’ll get turned around
Shake it off again and you found
You’re right where you belong
You were out there running wild
At a hundred miles an hour
Was it recklessness or something more worthwhile
But on the way just when you think you’ve hit dry land
You can’t feel the ground
And on the way right when you see that checkered flag
You’ve broken down
on the way just when you think you’ve hit dry land
You can’t feel the ground
and on the way you think its a straight shot think again
Cuz you’ll get turned around
Shake it off again and you found
You’re right where you belong

Let's Get Together
04:41
|
|||
I don’t mind
a little rain
it needs to fall sometimes
I don’t feel
like digging up the past today
it’s such a waste
I don’t need
to see the future
cuz I know what’s happening
It’s just tomorrow
It’ll happen anyway
let’s get together. hard days won’t last forever
Think of the high times. the ones we won’t forget
fate’s in our pocket
not a thing's gonna stop it
we’re over the bad times
look back with no regret
The best tears I’ve ever spent
Feels like time
To change the scene
better things are coming
change your mind
about the people in your life
Sometimes I can’t decide
Look outside
where the sun touches the sea
Is where I’ll be
On the horizon
Are you coming after me?

Lotta Love
03:45
|
|||
It’s gonna take a lotta love to change the way things are
It's gonna take a lotta love or we won’t get too far
So if you look in my direction and we don’t see eye to eye
My heart needs protection and so do I
It’s gonna take a lotta love to get us through the night
It’s gonna take a lotta love to make this work out right
So if you are out there waiting I hope you show up soon
You know I need relating not solitude
Got a lot of love I got a lot of love
Got a lot of love I got a lot of love
It’s gonna take a lotta love to change the way things are
It’s gonna take a lotta love or we won’t get too far
It’s gonna take a lotta love It’s gonna take a lotta love
Got a lot of love I got a lot of love
Got a lot of love I got a lot of love

Baby It's A Gift
03:39
|
|||
Never thought I’d have a place in the valley, cars in the alley
Out in the barrio
Saving money for a weekend in vegas, dreaming of places you and I
Wanna go
Maybe it ain’t everything we wanted – but hey look at everything we’ve got instead
Baby it’s a gift – the pain and the struggle
The push through the trouble it gives us more than we know
Maybe this is it, learning as we go
To become better people along this crazy road
You and I together, on our own. Baby it’s a gift
Are we gonna be late on the taxes? Credit is maxed it’s hard not to fall apart
Well we might as well make it a party, it’s still got a heartbeat
Let’s give it a jumpstart
I can’t promise you tomorrow
The only guarantee is what’s inside our hands
Baby it’s a gift – the pain and the struggle
The push through the trouble it gives us more than we know
Maybe this is it, learning as we go
To become better people along this crazy road
You and I together, on our own. Baby it’s a gift

Keep It Alive
03:38
|
|||
Keep it alive Keep it alive
Beats getting stronger - you’ll feel it
The longer it will survive
Keep it alive - Dreams never die
They only grow cold
So remember to hold on
To keep them alive
When the sun starts to fade and the shadows set in
And it’s hard to remember the face of a friend
There’s a little pulse still beating
Listen and you’ll find the meaning
Of why you’re here
Keep it alive Keep it alive
Beats getting stronger - you’ll feel it
The longer it will survive
Keep it alive - Dreams never die
They only grow cold
So remember to hold on
To keep them alive
Nobody chooses the thing that they love
Cursed with a passion that’s never enough
But every now and then you’re jaded
Trying to chase a high that faded
All your worrying is wasted
So don’t give up
Keep it alive Keep it alive
Beats getting stronger - you’ll feel it
The longer it will survive
Keep it alive - Dreams never die
They only grow cold
So remember to hold on
To keep them alive

One Human At A Time
04:56
|
|||
You wouldn’t know it by looking at me
Who I am or where I’ve been
You see my father’s father walked out
The day he was born and he saw the color of his skin
I wouldn’t know it by looking at you
What you believe or your reasons why
But I’ll be damned if I’m gonna tell you
How you should feel or what you should justify
I have friends on every side of everything you can imagine in this life
Good people, crazy people, angry people and lonely people
So have some patience and I’ll be gracious and well get through this paradigm
One human at a time
You wouldn’t know it by looking at her behind her smile and her pretty face
Single mother, working doubles. Doing all she can to put food on their plate
I have friends on every side of everything you can imagine in this life
Good people, crazy people, angry people and lonely people
So have some patience and I’ll be gracious and well get through this paradigm
One human at a time
You wouldn’t know it, cuz they didn’t tell you about what they went through
And how they survived
They lived their stories, none the same
But what they have in common cannot be denied

This One Is Ours
03:38
|
|||
get me off this rollercoaster tell me we were gonna be alright
we’ve been holding on together trouble trials and jealousy aside
Now we’re keeping all the the distance in the rearview
and the daybreak in our sight
Now your trying to turn it over but the damn things getting nothing through the lines
but this is so much bigger than ignition spark and getting it in drive
cuz once we get her started up I know
this baby’s gonna fly
knock down the borders
faint hearts beware
AT THE END OF THE ROAD THERE’S A SIGN SAYS KEEP GOING IF YOU DARE
but we are like a comet
shot through the stars
and this won’t be like anything else
because this one is ours
Somewhere between aiming high
and laying low there’s got to be a place
where the radar cannot find us
and no one cares that we’re from outer space
the champions are not the ones
who lock their dreams inside trophy case
knock down the borders
faint hearts beware
AT THE END OF THE ROAD THEre’s a SIGN that SAYS KEEP GOING IF YOU DARE
but we are like a comet
shot through the stars
and this won’t be like anything else
because this one is ours
Wheels were spinning - dust in our face
Feels good to finally get gone - drive away

The One That Got Away
03:51
|
|||
I see your eyes behind your sweeping hair. Worn out by a world that doesn’t care
Your bracelets jangle like a chime and it seems like you could use a shoulder like mine
In the booth in front of me I thought that I could make you see
That we’re just travelers and all of this means nothing in the end
I could be your friend
I’ll tell you one about me, you tell me all about you
I’ll tell you something of my pilgrimage and all that we’ve been through
Will you share with me your struggles with the moonlight on your face
I’ll tell you all about the night we got away
I’ll tell you one about the one that got away
Let’s get in my car and drive, we’ll let the interstate decide
In the backroads of our minds on the highway
Till the sun comes up to rise
But I’m a dreamer can’t you see and I don’t think sensibly
As I watched you walk away you looked behind you
Like you knew what I would say
I’ll tell you one about me, you tell me all about you
I’ll tell you something of my pilgrimage and all that we’ve been through
Will you share with me your struggles with the moonlight on your face
I’ll tell you all about the night we got away
I’ll tell you one about the one that got away

When Georgia Cries
03:29
|
|||
When Georgia cries I can see it in her eyes
Everything she lost along the way
Bitter tears that paint the side
When Georgia cries
When Georgia sings I remember everything
My heart kept close and I promised not to leave
Staying high without a wing
When Georgia sings
And all the answers that I need
Are getting lost inside a dream
But I could wake up anytime to find
That it was right here in my hands
And I’m holding on just like a child
When Georgia smiles the light goes on for miles
And I think that I can finally find my way
For another day
We'll all get by when Georgia smiles
It's gonna be a little while
Till Georgia cries
