- You Can´t Make Old Friends
- All I Need Is One
Letra
Just one bible just one bed I just need one roof over my head Just one old pickup to get me home One steady pay check to keep the lights turned on Just one guitar that stays in tune One shot too many once in a blue moon One dashboard picture of an angel smile Just one more reason to get an extra mile And the dream that keeps me going Is the love of one good woman There is a million blessings under the sun As long as she loves me all I need is one Just one moment that lasts all night Just one long kiss in early morning light One cup of coffee and I am good to go She says I love you baby thats all I got to know And the dream that keeps me going Is the love of one good woman There is a million blessings under the sun As long as she loves me all I need is one just one And the dream that keeps me going Is the love of one good woman There is a million blessings under the sun As long as she loves me (she loves me) As long as she loves me all I need is one All I need is one - You Had To Be There
Letra
He sat down, picked up the phone and said Boy, I'm your old man. He touched the glass between the two, as if to shake his hand The boy he didn't budge, not even so much as a blink The man said oh come on, boy, better late than never, don't ya think. He said I read it in the paper, can't believe you're 21, And I can't believe some son of mine could do the things I hear you've done. He went on like some big hero, who flew in to save the day And the boy said if your here, to steer me right, man, its too late You had to be there, and I'm talkin' from from day one. That's the only time a dad should talk through glass to his new son You'd have to go back, and teach me how when I was nine Cause my mama couldn't throw a ball even if she had the time. I should have been learning how to fish, instead of learning how to smoke. I bet if you'd of whooped my tail, I'd never thought it was a joke He said sometimes the will for doing wrong is way too strong for any mama's prayers You had to be there. The man said, boy, I'm sorry that you hate me like you do The boy said dry it up man, we ain't making this about you. Its about a teenage girl against the world cause she was left there high and dry Its about a kid who might have stood a whole lot better shot at life, You had to be there, and I'm talkin' from from day one. That's the only time a dad should talk through glass to his new son You'd have to go back and teach me how when I was nine Cause my mama couldn't throw a ball even if she had the time. I should have been learning how to fish, instead of learning how to smoke I bet if you'd of whooped my tail I'd never thought it was a joke He said sometimes the will for doing wrong is way too strong for any mama's prayer You had to be there. Before the boy hung up the phone, he said they say me I'm out of time And it hit the man, right there and then My god son, so am I - ´Merica
- Turn This World Around
Letra
Once upon a time in a city made of gold Streets were full of dreams The air was full of hope But somewhere in the midnight Beneath the crooked moon The children stopped believin' So the flowers never bloomed The elders lost their sanity Mothers lost their smiles Fathers chased the money got one too many miles Water turned to whiskey The visionaries, blind While the people in the picture box Were poisoning their minds - their minds, their minds Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town Hold up a holy flame To all the rain that's pourin' down Well hatred is the seed The Devil planted in the ground Our beating hearts are singin' now For love to turn this world around Oh turn this world around Oh turn this world around Let's dust off all the rust It starts from diamonds on the sea Ring the bells in the cathedrals Rejoice for what's redeemed Let's lock and load with truth And blow up the lies All of us are guilty, we have no alibi Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town Hold up a holy flame To all the rain that's pourin' down Well hatred is the seed The Devil planted in the ground Our beatin' hearts are singin' now For love to turn this world around Oh turn this world around Oh turn this world around Woah turn this world around Oh turn this world around Woah turn this world around Woah turn this world around Let's burn this bridge and ride this river to another town Hold up the holy flame To all the rain that's pourin' down Well hatred is the seed The Devil planted in the ground Our beatin' hearts are singin' out - singin' out Our beatin' hearts are singin' out For love to turn this world around Oh turn this world around Turn this world around Oh turn this world around Turn this world around Oh turn this world around Oh Woah, turn this world around - Dreams Of The San Joaquin
Letra
I'm sending you some money I wish it could be more But it's harder than I thought To find the work I came here for This place is just as pretty As I pictured it to be And a man in need of work's An all too common sight to see Each morning as the trucks roll in A lucky few climb on And the rest of us are left to wonder Where the dream has gone Where the dream has gone [Chorus:] They say the Sierras melt with the rain And race through the valley Like blood through the vein Turning the lowland From golden to green To harvest forever Our dreams of the San Joaquin Every day I struggle With the distance and the fear That I will not return or find A way to bring you here My emptiness grows deeper I feel my spirit fall As night comes like a blanket That brings no sleep at all I only hope that time will find A way to work things out And we will be together In the life we dream about The life we dream about Repeat Chorus and add line: We'll harvest forever In dreams of the San Joaquin [Chorus x2] - Don´t Leave Me In The Night Time
- Look At You
Letra
Look at you shining like a diamond in a velvet blouse oh look at you, when I looked at you It's a wonder why heaven ever gave you up all I want to do is look at you You are the woman that I waited for the only one I see I could live a million years or more and not explain this beautiful pain I go through when I look at you Look at me, a man at the mercy of a heart on fire Would you look at me, helplessly, stunning like a drum full of pure desire Cant you see, how desperately I want to take you in there arms of mine and never let you go taste your kiss until the end of time maybe until then, yeah until then I will be happy too Oh just look at you You are the woman that I waited for the only one I see I could live a million years or more and not explain this beautiful pain I go through when I look at you Just let me look at you that is all I want to do it's look at you - Neon Horses
- When You Love Someone
Letra
When you love someone You'll do anything You'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain You'll shoot the moon Put out the sun When you love someone You'll deny the truth Believe a lie There'll be times that you'll believe that you can really fly But your lonely nights have just begun When you love someone When you love someone You feel it deep inside And nothin' else could ever change your mind When you want someone When you need someone When you love someone When you love someone You'll sacrifice You'd give it everything you got And you won't think twice You'd risk it all No matter what may come When you love someone You'll shoot the moon Put out the sun When you love someone - It´s Gonna Be Easy Now
