Hoe Down

(w. Richie Furay)

Well, I'm a-going to a hoe down
And kick up my heels
Go all night and never slow down
Yes, I love how it feels

Said I'm a-going to a hoe down
And kick up my heels
Go all night and never slow down
Whew, I love how it feels, uh-huh.

Come on and go to the hoe down
And kick up your heels
You go all night and never slow down
I bet you love how it feels.

Yes, I'm a-going to a hoe down
And kick up my heels
Go all night and never slow down
whew, I love how it feels, yes I do

Go back up.


Rocky Mountain Breakdown

Oooo Ooooo steelin', Colorado reelin'
Rocky Mountain Breakdown

Bow to the fiddler
Don't be slow
Smoke on the mountain
Fire on the bow

Pick out the tune
We love to hear
Patch up the feelin's
Mend all the fear

Oh, what a showdown
Toe to toe
First one to holler
Last one to go

Change your partners
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
At the new barn dance

Ooooo, steelin'
Colorado reelin'
Rocky Mountain Breakdown

  

Go back up.


Sagebrush Serenade

Lovers, one by one.
While mandolins and steel guitars,
Help our love along.
Who could show you, ever know you,
Fall into my dreams.
Turn around and, there you are in
cowboy boots and faded jeans.

It's a sagebrush serenade
Sagebrush serenade
Sagebrush serenade
Sagebrush serenade

All around us, it surrounds us,
harmony is in the air.
We could lose our hearts tonight and
Never even care.

It's a sagebrush serenade
Sagebrush serenade
Sagebrush serenade
Sagebrush serenade
(repeat)

We dance the night away, while
the guitars play
We'll blow your sails away, we got it made

 

Go back up.


High and Dry

Tell me a story 'bout how you been burned
No one can hurt you, your lessons you've learned
All for the lover with the stars in his eyes
Feelin' the pain of all his bye-byes
Feelin' the pain of all his bye-byes

High and Dry, High and Dry

I could tell you things just ain't the same
Look all around you there's no one to blame
There's a reason for all those years
You do less cryin', there'll be fewer tears
You do less cryin', there'll be fewer tears

High and Dry, High and Dry

You know the road doesn't end,
When it reaches, reaches a bend

High and Dry, High and Dry

I could tell you things just ain't the same
Look all around you there's no one to blame
There's a reason for all those years
You do less cryin', there'll be fewer tears
You do less cryin', there'll be fewer tears

High and Dry, High and Dry
High and Dry, High and Dry

Go back up.


All the Ways

All the ways of your love
The hurt and tears to cry
I sit and count the reasons
Why I ever fall in love

It seems so simple to me
I know just how it should be
You take my lovin', so carelessly
I keep on hoping someday you'll understand
A heart that is breakin' can't keep waitin' for you

And, All the ways of your love
The hurt and tears to cry
I sit and count the reasons
Why I ever fall in love

When we're together you treat me like a child
You only tell me, what you think you should
What if tomorrow I was blown out of your life?
How would you find your way, with no one to show you

All the ways of your love
The hurt and tears to cry
I sit and count the reasons
Why I ever fall in love

All the time that passed us by
Could it be that I'll too find
Hearts that act so blind
And never even try

All the ways

Go back up.


Lovin' Arms

Seems to me I'm fallin'
And I can't believe my eyes
Don't you know it's love I am
Tryin' to disguise

But I must confess that
No one else but you
Satisfies my mind, so
What else can I do?

Here I go fallin' in love
Just knowin' that you'll always care
Your lovin' arms
Will hold me there

Spent some time in learnin'
Run from what you feel
Now you got me stumblin'
head over heels

Plain to see it's trouble
Yellin' what to do
Sneakin' up on me and
All because of you

Here I go fallin' in love
Just knowin' that you'll always care
Your lovin' arms
Will hold me there

Seems to me I'm fallin'
And I can't believe my eyes
Don't you know it's love I am
Tryin' to disguise

But I must confess that
No one else but you
Satisfies my mind, so
What else can I do?

Here I go fallin' in love
Just knowin' that you'll always care
Your lovin' arms
Will hold me there

Oh, Here I go fallin' in love
Just knowin' that you'll always care
Your lovin' arms
Will hold me there

Go back up.


Makin' Love

I wish I could say
All my fears fall away
With the sands in the hourglass
But you know it ain't so
'Cause I know when it's right
There'll be a woman
Burnin' in my soul

Don't you know I can feel it
Feel it deep inside
Pretty soon you'll find it
Showin' in my eyes

I can't keep from feelin'
You and I were meant for makin' love

You're on my mind
And it seems that I'm
Thinkin' of moments
Alone with you

Hard as it seems
You can see what it means
Woman you know I'm
Losin' my heart

Don't you know I can feel it
Feel it deep inside
Pretty soon you'll find it
Showin' in my eyes

I can't keep from feelin'
You and I were meant for makin' love

I can feel it
Feel it deep inside
Pretty soon you'll find it
Showin' in my eyes

I can't keep from feelin'
You and I were meant for makin' love

Don't you know I can feel it
Feel it deep inside
Pretty soon you'll find it
Showin' in my eyes

Go back up.


Sittin' on a Fence

What is it gonna be?
When the dust has settled
Will you clearly see
Down the road you're
Driftin' lost and caught in confusi
on

Waitin' for the day
You won't have to choose
Who can have their way
Without taking sides or
Goin', feelin' so bad

C'mon and take a stand
'Cause you're sure to fall
Sittin' on a fence
Don't you sit on a fence

Where should you begin?
Lookin' for an answer
How can you give in
When worry has you
Wishin', hopin', sayin' you don't know

Now it's up to you
Stand on what you feel or
Fall if you should lose
Nothin's ever certain
To last, oh in the long run

C'mon and take a stand
'Cause you're sure to fall
Sittin' on a fence
Don't you sit on a fence

 

Go back up.


Us

Silence is 
All we have between us
To see us through the night

Make believe
Just pretend we'll always
And always have love

And when the time has come for us to speak our peace
Will there be nothin' left for us but memories

Or will we
Make the same mistakes we made before
But just go on pretendin'
That there's nothin' more, and...

Make believe, just pretend
We'll always
And always
Have love

Go back up.


Rose of Cimarron

Roll along, roll on
Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron

Shadows touch the sand and look to see who's standin'
Waitin' at your window, watchin' will they ever show?
Can you hear them calling? You know they have fallen on
Campfires cold and dark that never see a spark burn bright

Roll along, roll on
Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron

Trails that brought them home echo names they've known
Four days high and lonely comin' to you only here
You're the one they'd turn to, the only one they knew who'd do
All her best to be around when the chips were down

Roll along, roll on
Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron

Shadows touch the sand and look to see who's standin'
Waitin' at your window, watchin' will they ever show?

Roll along, roll on
Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron

Roll along, roll on
Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron

Hearts like yours belong
Following the dawn
Wrapped up in a song
Rose of Cimarron

Go back up.


Stealaway

Stealaway, My little darling
Far away, You and I

Lookin' at you and the way about you
Fallin' came easily
No one could ever guess we'd stand here
Lookin' to disagree

Where did it all go wrong?
It seems we had too many stars in our eyes
Now we are lookin' back to see
How many stars were lies

Stealaway, my little darling
Far away, you and I
Helplessly, hangin' on
So darlin', stealaway

How did it get so damn confusin'?
Who cares who's wrong or right?
We gotta move out of all this darkness
To see a little light

Stealaway, my little darling
Far away, you and I
Helplessly, hangin' on
So darlin', stealaway
(repeat)

Go back up.

Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Don't you know
Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Here we go

'Long about Saturday night
We'll be here all right
So come on over, here's our chance
To sit it down and strum along
And everybody comes to call
It don't matter at all
If they don't know how to pick a tune
A-rollin' with the girls all night

Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Don't you know
Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'

Fallin' asleep to any beat

Folks come from miles around
Jumpin' up and jumpin' down
Carryin' off carryin' on
Till the break of dawn

Company's comin'
Come a-runnin'
Company's comin'
Don't you know

Downfall

Thought I'd seen it all before
And no one could show me any more
Sunny skies and and lights so bright
Winter winds deep in the night

And then came a woman
Heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant

My downfall, Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall

If anyone should ask you why
I keep starin' at the sky
Just tell them how it used to be yeah
Tell them how it was with me

Then came a woman
Ahhh heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant

My downfall
Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall...Downfall

Then came a woman
Ahhh heaven must have sent
And like a fool
I never guessed it meant

My downfall
Down, Downfall
I never thought I'd fall at all
Downfall, Downfall, Downfall, Downfall

 

Go back up.


The Dance

Spinnin' around and around in a circle
Once you sit down you start it all over again
Laughin' so hard you lose all track of time
So shuffle your feet and follow the beat on down

And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to dance again

Everyone's slippin' away to the rhythm,
Lookin' to find someone to show them the light
So stare at the floor and pretend
You don't notice it's getting later and later tonight

And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to dance again


GO ON AND DANCE

Can you hear the sound of music playing?
Can you hear the sound of voices saying?

The night is young and there's
No need to hurry
So take your time, you don't
Have to worry
Go on and dance
Go on and dance

Dance now darlin', you'll find romance
Waitin' just for you
There is moonlight if you care to
Stop and see it through
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Can you hear the sound of guitars playing?
Can you hear the sound of children saying?

The night is young and there's
No need to hurry
So take your time, you don't
Have to worry
Go on and dance
Go on and dance

Dance now darlin', you'll find romance
Waitin' just for you (you know it's true)
There is moonlight if you care to
Stop and see it through (it's there for you)
Go on and dance
Go on and dance
Go on and dance

And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to...

And when the dance is over
Who will your partner be?
Will both of you be takin'
The chance to dance again?
The chance to...

Go back up.


Spellbound

There's an easy
Evening breeze
Moving softly through the trees
I feel my head begin to reel
Can't explain the way I feel

Now the moonlight is fallin' around her
(Don't you know that)
Tonight is the night for surrender
(Can't you see it comin' down)
She's holdin' you spellbound, spellbound

She's got me hangin' by a heartbeat
Burnin' in the evening's heat
She takes me there, it leaves me breathless
Starry-eyed, satisfied

When you're burnin' the bridges behind you
(Don't you know that)
Smoke can begin to blind you
(Can't you see it coming down)
It's holdin' you spellbound, spellbound

Now the moonlight is fallin' around her
(Don't you know that)
Tonight is the night for surrender
(Can't you see it comin' down)
She's holdin' you spellbound, spellbound

I know, I know, I know, spellbound
She's holdin' on to me
She's holdin' on it's true
She's holdin' on, she won't let go
Spellbound

Go back up.


Little Darlin'

There's someone waitin'
When you need a love to last forever
Ooo don't go runnin'
Just take this heart now lover I surrender

You're the sun
The moon
The stars shinin'
You're the one
There's no denying

Yeah you've got me dancin'
In the falling rain
I'm laughing like a child again

Oh little darlin'
You know that you need no other lover
Hey I'm sayin'
I know that this feelin's like no other

You're the sun
The moon
The stars shinin'
You're the one
There's no denying

Yeah you've got me dancin'
In the falling rain
I'm laughing like a child again

Someone waitin'
When you need a love to last forever
Ooo don't go runnin'
Just take this heart now lover I surrender

'Cause you're the sun
The moon
The stars shinin'
You're the one
There's no denying

Yeah you've got me dancin'
In the falling rain
I'm laughing like a child again

'Cause you're the sun
The moon
The stars shinin'
You're the one
There's no denying

Yeah you've got me dancin'
In the falling rain
I'm laughing like a child again
(repeat)

Go back up.


Love Comes, Love Goes

Do you ever think of me
And the way it used to be?
You and me
The two of us like one
We thought it'd just begun

But you know love comes
And love goes
While heartaches hardly ever show
Till tears come
And tears go
And they're the ones you'll never know

Do you still remember when
You first reached to hold me and we'd pretend
The world was yours and mine?
Lost in dreamless time

But you know love comes
And love goes
While heartaches hardly ever show
Till tears come
And tears go
And they're the ones you'll never know

And you know love comes
And love goes
While heartaches hardly ever show
Till tears come
And tears go
They're the ones you'll never know

Go back up.


Crazy Love

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
A faded memory

Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh, ooh crazy love
ahhhh haaa

Count the stars in a summer sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops comin' down
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh, ooh crazy love
ahhhh haaa

Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
A faded memory

It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin' to unwind
Ooh, ooh crazy love
ahhhh haaa

Tonight I'm gonna break away

Go back up.


The Last Goodbye

Here it comes now
We'll stand and face each other somehow

Blue eyes don't cry
Hold on until the last goodbye

Ohhhh you know it's all
Part of the feeling that goes with the fall

And it looks like you win
And I lose but then love will come again

Send me no invitation
To your farewell
Don't need no inspiration
No wishin' well

Don't hang your head
Try to remember it's all been said
Turn and go on
Leave all the tears till after you've gone

Send me no invitation
To your farewell
Don't need no inspiration
No wishin' well
(repeat)

Go back up.


Legend

Dark as night, cold and lonely
Rides the horse that's known as only Thunder Road

Icy fingers hold the reins
While hoofs come poundin' so insanely on and on

Eyes that dance like burnin' embers
All the county still remembers who you are
Did she love you like they say?
And did she really run away and leave you here?

Ride the wind
Tonight you'll find her there
No more racin'
With the damp night air

Down the road to Whitman's Crossing
Underneath the Widow's blossoms soft and green
Covered by the crimson shawl
And hidden by the leaves that fall down to the ground
Midnight comes and midnight goes,
In between the moonlight shadows veiled in tears

Ride the wind
Tonight you'll find her there
No more racin'
With the damp night air
(repeat)

Oh Thunder Road
Goin' down Thunder Road
Take you down Thunder Road
Got a heart with a heavy load
Move it down Move it down
Move it down Thunder Road
Said move it down Thunder Road
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Go back up.


While We're Still Young

Out in the night
Lovers hold hands as they stake out the light
Sirens scream as they rush out of sight

We whisper plans
And promise to love for as long as we can
We'll make this night the night it began

While we're still young
While we're still young
While we're still young

Down on the street
Strangers trade glances each time their eyes meet
Neon lights dance as if to a beat

We take it slow
And wait for our song on the car radio
Then sing along with the words that we know

While we're still young
While we're still young
While we're still young

Take my hand and hold on tight, we'll go running, running from the light
We may stand, we may fall, take a chance to lose it all

While we're still young
While we're still young
While we're still young

Out in the night
Lovers hold hands as they stake out the light
Sirens screamin' as they rush out of sight

While we're still young
While we're still young
While we're still young

While we're still young
While we're still young
While we're still young

While we're still young

Go back up.


The Everlasting Kind

I'm only human, I hope you keep it in mind, mmmmm
I make mistakes and I say some things I never should

But if you'll give it half a chance
I'll guarantee that our romance will be the everlastin' kind

Oooh...

And if you'll give it half a chance
I'll guarantee that our romance will be the everlastin' kind
Here until the end of time

People will tell you that it isn't what it seems
I can't pretend to understand their hidden schemes

And if you'll give it half a chance
I'll guarantee that our romance will be the everlastin' kind
Even 'til the end of time

Oooh...
Ahhh...

 

Go back up.


Footsteps of a Fool (Shaky Ground)

It's not the first time, I've been here before
I've stood in the hallway and stared at the door
My friends say I'm steady, both feet on the ground
But they never see me when she's around

When I'm standing on shaky (on shaky ground), afraid to look down
At the footsteps of a fool (footsteps of a fool)

What good does it do ya, to wait for the day
She'll come around and she'll see things your way
I swear that I'll walk away before it's the end
But each time it happens, I'm, I'm right back again

Standing here on this shaky (on shaky ground), afraid to look down
I keep standing here on this shaky ground (on shaky ground)
Afraid to look down, at the footsteps of a fool

She doesn't really love me anymore

 

Go back up.


Reputation

Too tough to handle
Too much to hold
She goes round and round and round and round, the girl runs hot and cold

What you gonna do when she's tired of you?

Reputation, mmm mmm, reputation

Run like the devil or sink like a stone
You'll go down and down and down and down and wind up on your own

You're not the first to fall, it's happened to us all

She's too tough to handle
Too much to hold
She goes round and round it's all over town, but you just can't let her go

She's got a reputation, everybody's talkin' 'bout my baby

Go back up.


A Fool's Paradise

I don't care what your man is sayin', he don't know what it's all about
He says one thing when you're lookin', and another when you turn around
Don't get caught up in emotion and how good it used to be
Just remember there's a reason, that's the way it has to be

Now don't you believe him, just take this advice
And don't look for rainbows in a fool's paradise

High up on a distant mountain, he sits lookin' down on you and me
Says it doesn't really matter to him, he knows how it's got to be
See it in his way or forget it, he don't need to come around
Anytime he's got the feelin', he knows that he's got the sound

Now don't you believe him, just take this advice
And don't look for rainbows in a fool's paradise

I don't care what the man is sayin', he don't know what it's all about
He says one thing when you're lookin' and another when you turn around
Don't get caught up in emotion and how good it used to be
Just remember there's a reason, that's the way it has to be

Now don't you believe him, take this advice
And don't look for rainbows in a fool's paradise

No you just can't believe him, so take this advice
And don't look for rainbows in a fool's paradise

 

Go back up.


Made of Stone

Tossin', turnin', rollin' in my bed
Shady doin's runnin' through my head
How long, how long can this game go on?
Torn and tattered, all my faith is gone

Can't you see that I'm not made of stone?
Now I can't live on promises alone

Turned and twisted, shaken to my soul
Livin' this way sure can take its' toll
Why can't you just lay it on the line?
Worn and wasted, runnin' out of time

Can't you see that I'm not made of stone, no, no
Now I can't live on promises alone

Tossin', turnin', rollin' in my bed
Shady doin's runnin' through my head
How long, how long can this game go on?
Torn and tattered, all my faith is gone

Can't you see that I'm not made of stone?
I can't live on promises alone
Don't you see that I'm not made of stone?
I can't live on promises alone

Go back up.


Glorybound

Come on all you brothers, come on one and all
Come on get together, it's time to meet the call
You'll see lots of banners, down at City Hall
Lots of pretty girls to make a man feel six foot tall

You can bring your napsack, bring your carbine too
It ain't gonna take too long, 'cause there ain't much to do
Hey, we've just got to show those Yanks, we mean what we say
They can't tell us what to do, we'll chase them all away

Oh, catch the train a' runnin', runnin' right through town
Headed straight for glory - glorybound
Catch the train a' runnin', runnin' right through town
glorybound

We're all gonna meet them, out at Cutter's Ridge
Right there in the clearing, just beyond the bridge
You'll see all the ladies with their parasols
Cheering for their favorites, they'll be waving to us all

Oh, catch the train a' runnin', runnin' right through town
Headed straight for glory - glorybound
You better catch the train a'runnin', runnin' right through town

(Solo)

 

Go back up.


Blue and Grey

There were flags flyin' high,
bright polished brass that dazzled the eye
The hot crowded street is covered by feet
kicking dust on the sky
She's standing there, the sun in her hair,
she's wavin' to me
We're heroes today, I heard someone say,
tonight home's where we'd
be

The word comes down, the column winds its way from town
Goodbye sweet Anna Lee my love

Baby, baby now something ain't right,
clouds of thunder roll into sight
Overhead there's a mighty light, baby,
baby now something ain't right

The smoke hangs heavy on the ground, hiding the sun
The burning sky is on the run

Baby, baby now something ain't right,
there's a pain burning deep inside
And my legs just can't hold their stride,
baby, baby now something ain't right

There were flags flyin' high, bright polished brass that
dazzled the eye
She's standin' there, the sun in her hair, she's wavin' to me

Oh, she's wavin' to me, oh, she's wavin' to me

 

Go back up.


The Writing on the Wall

Last night I dreamed as I lay sleeping,
I saw a thousand angels cross the sky
Each one held a candle out before her,
To light the way to heaven on high
They left a trail of love and glory,
Ss they crossed the Southern sky

Chorus:
I saw the writing on the wall, though we may stumble, we can't fall
While love is shining on us all, we can't fall

Drifting on a sea of midnight visions
As careless as the leaves that fall to earth
I thought I heard an angel whisper softly
Heaven waits for those who seek its worth
The morning sun streamed through my window
It warmed me as I woke from sleep, and I

(chorus)

My baby, we can't fall

 

Go back up.


Widowmaker

Underneath the silver moon,
the moment never comes too soon
Waiting on a stranger's glance,
he never even has a chanc
e

'Cause somewhere in the darkest night,
hidden from the keenest sight
Just watching for the slightest move,
he knows just what he's got to do

Chorus:
He's the dark of the moon, a hard heartbreaker
Yeah the devil they call "Widowmaker"

Veil of darkness, veil of light, cover him through all the night
Witches ring around the moon, another soul is leaving soon

'Cause silently he waits alone for someone he has never known
Holding in a tight embrace, something that no man can face

(chorus)

(Solo)

Go back up.


Here Comes that Girl Again

Here comes that girl again, sweet as the Southern wind
Dressed in her very best, old lace and calico and

Chorus:
It looks like love's got a hold on me
It looks like love, ooh, got a hold on me

Ribbons of sunlight fall all through her golden hair
Like some uncommon child, I have to stop and stare

(chorus repeats 2x)

  

Go back up.


The Land of Glory

I keep searchin' for the Land of Glory,
one eye open and the other eye closed
I wash my troubles in the River Jordan,
the river's deep and the water's cold

Lord my burdens are too much to carry
And there's never anywhere to rest
But I keep looking for that holy mountain
To lay my troubles and my sins confess

Chorus:
Help me make it, I've got to find it,
help me make it to the Land of Glory
Help me make it, I've got to find it,
help me make it to the Land of Glory

I keep searchin' for the Land of Glory,
one eye open and the other eye closed
I wash my troubles in the River Jordan,
the river's deep and the water's cold

(chorus repeats out)

  

Go back up.


Ghost Town

In the firelight
Shinin' bright
Their faces worn and weathered
It's a hard life
An endless flight
From one night to another
Silver moonlight falls
Between grey walls
Through shutters old and weary
Broken window pane
Stands in vain
While night winds moan and whisper

And there's no lover
Whose heart burns
In this ghost town
Just the long shadows
That chase each lonely sundown

Faded memories
Of used to be
Lie wasted and forgotten
Like a lost love
Who patiently waits
For it's day of reckon

And there's no lover
Whose heart burns
In this ghost town
Just the long shadows
That chase each lonely sundown

Just the long shadows
That chase, through this ghost town

In the firelight
Shinin' bright
Their faces worn and weathered
It's a hard life
An endless flight
From one night to another

And there's no lover
Whose heart burns
In this ghost town
Just the long shadows
That chase each lonely sundown

Just the long shadows
That chase, through this ghost town

Through this ghost town.....ghost town

Go back up.


Shoot for the Moon

I hear tell it's far away
And no one goes there now
But if we set our sights you know
We'll get there somehow

Come on darlin' let's
Take our chances we'll
Take them all the way and ...
Shoot for the moon
We'll Shoot for the moon

Remember nights you blinked your eyes
And the moon winked back at you
Now it was not so distant then
If your aim was true

So come on darlin' let's
Take our chances we'll
Take them all the way and ...
Shoot for the moon
We'll Shoot for the moon
Let's Shoot for the moon

Let's throw our dreams together
And seal 'em with a kiss
There is no way we can miss...
We'll shoot for the moon
Shoot for the moon
Let's Shoot for the moon
We'll Shoot for the moon

I hear tell it's far away
And no one goes there now

Go back up.


Cry No More

Sometimes it seems like
You lose when you win
I know just how hard it can be
You take what you have to
And give all you can
But it's just a sad memory

So cry no more
What do you want to cry for?
Tears only wash to the shore
So cry no more

I am a fine one
To talk about cryin'
I've cried some tears of my own
And one thing for certain
When teardrops start falling
The heartache won't leave you alone

So cry no more
What do you want to cry for?
Tears only wash to the shore
So cry no more

(repeat 2x to fade)

Go back up.


Love's So Cruel

Hold on to your heart
One's all that you've got
Don't let it break in two
Hold on to your love
Don't follow your heart
It can turn around on you

And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Love's so cruel
'Cause love's so cruel

She's got eyes crystal blue
She's got eyes just for you
And your heart won't help at all
No matter how crazy
You know it can be
You'll go ahead and fall

And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Love's so cruel
'Cause love's so cruel

Hold on to your heart
Hold on play it smart
Don't let love make
A fool out of you

Love's so cruel
'Cause love's so cruel

So hold on to your heart
One's all that you've got
Don't let it break in two
Hold on to your love
Don't follow your heart
It can turn around on you

And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Nothing you can do
Love's so cruel
'Cause love's so cruel

Love's so cruel
Love's so cruel

Go back up.


When Hearts Collide

I don't want to scold you
I just want to hold you
Keep you in my arms all night
I can't understand why
It's so hard for you and I
To make these feelings come out right

Take it easy babe, take it slow
Because it's true you know

When hearts collide
Love can't survive
It goes to pieces before your eyes
When hearts collide
(repeat)

Can we find our way back
Can we find the right track
Before it gets too late for us
We had something special
Something we can't let go
Or we'll have is loneliness

Take it easy babe, take it slow
Because it's true you know

When hearts collide
Love can't survive
It goes to pieces before your eyes
When hearts collide

(repeat 2x)

Go back up.


Daylight

Standin' in the hurricane
Just to feel the midnight rain
It won't wash away the stain left on your heart
Starin' at a liar's moon
Hypnotized by your own gloom
Prayin' that the Daylight soon will rescue you

CHORUS:
Ah, she's callin' you
When will Daylight break through
Ah, she's beggin' you
Daylight, won't you come through
Daylight
Daylight

Well another night what will you do
Caught between the sun and moon
Starin' out the window, when will Daylight come
And every moment moves so slow
Every move against the flow
Close your eyes and let it go, just let it go

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS

Go back up.


When You Love Someone

There's a ribbon wrapped around your heart
A tender moment sparks against the dark
Pieces so faithfully, fall one by one
When You Love Someone
When You Love Someone

Promises we'd break along the way
Well sometimes darlin', that's the price we pay
But all those unspoken schemes
They just fade away
When You Love Someone
When You Love Someone

Hey what's it do to you
When someone loves you too
Is that happiness always gonna stand by you
If you love someone?

There's a ribbon wrapped around your heart
A tender moment sparks against the dark
Pieces so faithfully, they fall one by one
When You Love Someone
When You Love Someone

When You Love Someone
(repeat to fade)

Go back up.


Save a Corner of Your Heart

Save A Corner Of Your Heart for me
Keep it for a rainy day
Just a little touch
You won't miss it much
Won't you save, save it for me

Well I'm not the kind who keeps track of time
Still I've seen the seasons change
It's such a subtle move, such a gentle groove
You don't feel it slip away, won't cha...

(Chorus)
Save A Corner Of Your Heart for me
Keep it for a rainy day
Just a little touch
You won't miss it much
Won't you save, save it for me

Oh it can't be long we must carry on
There's so much we have to do
But every time I hear lovers whisper near
I will always think of you, won't you...

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Yeah just toe the line for now
I'll get back there somehow
Give it a chance you'll see

REPEAT CHORUS

Go back up.


The Storm

Look at all the raindrops fall from the sky tonight
Just so many teardrops searchin' for a place to hide
Fallin' from the dark clouds descendin' on their way
Baby aren't those raindrops just like you and I?

Won't you listen to your heart?
Tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near?
Runnin' from The Storm

Icy winds are blowin' autumn leaves across the sky
There's no way for us to catch them even if we try
Hiding from the dark clouds that send them on their way
Baby aren't those fallin' leaves just like you and I?

Won't you listen to your heart?
Tell me what you hear
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near?
We're runnin' from The Storm

Won't you listen to your heart tell me what you hear?
Is the sound of thunder comin' much too near?
Look into your heart and tell me what you see
Is it just a day or how it has to be?

Oh, Runnin' from The Storm
Yes I'm Runnin' from The Storm

Go back up.


What Do People Know

I know I'm in over my head, I'm walkin' a fine line
Tryin' not to be the one who falls in and out this time
I'm just gonna hold my breath, close my eyes and pray
I'm not gonna worry now, tomorrow's too far away

Chorus:
When people say that it can never last,
heaven will just slip out of our grasp
People don't believe a day goes by,
we don't end up saying our goodbyes
What do people know, what do people know

There's always been a chance you and I won't last forever
We've been in and out of love before, I'll never say never
I'm just gonna hold my breath, close my eyes and pray
I'm not gonna worry now, tomorrow's too far away

(chorus repeats 2x)

What do people know,
what do people know,
what do people know

Go back up.


Rough Edges

(w. R. Foster, B. Lloyd)

If I had my way tonight,
I would surely change your mind
You might be surprised at what you see
I know I don't look the part,
don't turn it off before it starts
I can hear your heart talkin' to me

Chorus:
I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined
I'm not the diamond that you had in mind
I can't hide it, you get what you see
I've got a lot of rough edges on me

Carnegie or Albert Hall,
you don't need no crystal ball
You know you'll never catch me in that scene
I like my music way up loud, the house is rockin'
when I go out
The midnight hour that's where I want to be

(chorus)

(Solo)

(chorus)


Go back up.


Who Else

(w. M. Noble)

Who else has your heart tonight, who else (who else)
Who else stays awake all night, who else

If a picture says a thousand words,
you don't have to say a thing
'Cause I can see it in those big green eyes
You can't hide what you can't explain
it's right there in your eyes

(chorus)

I hear a whisper softly in my ear,
a little voice that tries to say
Don't let her go now, she's so good for you
You'd be a fool to let her walk away
don't let her walk away

(chorus)

(Solo)

(chorus)

I don't wanna be the last to know, oh no

I Could Get Used to This

(unreleased Four Wheel Drive)

I wasn't looking For anything like love
Wasn't feeling that seems like love

And when I needed to
the road got rough
Walked away
Never had a reason enough to hang around
No one made me feel the way that you do now

I just stopped my runnin'
Put my suitcase down and stayed

I could get used to this
The way it feels right now
I got this far without you Lord I don't see how
If I could stay here forever
That would be my wish
I could get used to to this

I dream of times
The sun is breaking through
Other times I get to look at you
I believe I get such a lovely view
I could get used to having you beside me

I could get used to having you beside me
Being where you can find me
I could get used to all the ways you love me
Baby every time you touch me
even more amazed that you are mine

(chorus)

 


Nothing Less Than Love

(unreleased Four Wheel Drive)

She cries just a little when she sees him walk away
After all she can't see it any other way
And it's hard when you're feelin' like there's nothin' left to lose
No she can't help it, she sees no excuse

There's no good in her goodbye
There's no tears she hasn't cried
But it's not enougn
She needs nothin' less than love
Don't say the sacrifice is small
and no one ever has it all
When all she wants is nothin' less than love

You can stand in the middle and see it either way
That's just how it is, no one ever wants the blame
So she'll pick up the pieces and pretend she just can't see
Cause all she looking for is some room to breathe

(chorus)

She knows better than to wait
Just keep waiting until it's too late

(chorus)

There's no good in her goodbye
When all she wants is nothin' less than love

Don't say the sacrifice is small
and no one ever has it all
When all she wants is nothin' less than love

Old Hat

(unreleased Four Wheel Drive)

She didn't leave a message
She never said a word
If there was something missing
I guess I never heard
Well I could'nt find an answer
I must've lost that too

It's funny how we take for granted
The one that sees us through

And if our love seems old hat
I never felt that way
It was a perfect fit
Wore it ever day
Guess we outgrew it
A liitle at a time
Now that hat won't hold the tears that I cry

This morning I woke up
Radio came on
all alone in the darkness
I heard that song
it used to drive me crazy
She always said hello
now theres something missing
now there's something gone

(chorus)

Go back up

 


Lonely Only Goes So Far

(Sky Kings)

It's me..again
Haven't seen you since
I don't know when
I called
I couldn't help it
Just to hear you say my name again

It doesn't matter
How far I run
I can't outrun my heart
Cause your memory
Keeps following me
Lonely only goes so far

I tried...I tried
To go on and put it all behind
Every time I think I've made it
The thought of you gets me one more time

(chorus)

It just keeps coming back
I can't get away
There's nothing left to do
There's nothing left to say

(chorus)

 

Go back up

 


I Must Be Doing Something Right

(Sky Kings)

Well, I must be doing something right

Like the rest of us,
I wake up at dawn
Stumble out of bed
Pull my blue jeans on
I take a look outside
Read my horoscope
Hope the bank won't bounce the check I wrote
It seems like nothings changed
I still wake up the same

I must be doing something right
Cause she's in love with me tonight
And I can't even tell you why
I must be doing something right

Now I have to admit
I just don't understand
What that woman sees in this man
But whatever it is
I thank my lucky stars
Every time I hold her in my arms
And just between me and you
This feels too good to be true


(chorus)

Some people believe that it's fate
Some people the stars
I can't tell you the answer
But I know what I feel in my heart

Go back up

 


One Tear at a Time

(also on unreleased Four Wheel Drive)

I never saw it comin'
I guess I should have known
When nothin' lasts forever
It's here and then it's gone
Well, I'll take each day as it comes
And somehow I'll carry on


But I'll be missing you
I'll be missing you
I'll be missing you one tear at a time

People try to tell me
I'll get over it
Just go on you'll forget her
But it's not that easy to forget

So I'll take each day as it comes
And somehow I'll carry on

(chorus)

Just as long as there's breath to breathe
And my heart keeps beating on
Just as long as there's sky above
And lovers keep falling in love
I'll keep dreamin', I'll keep holdin' on

Go back up

 


If Your Heart Needs a Hand

It's a whirlwind caught in an empty jar
It steals your breath if you fall too hard
It picks you up right off the ground
And tears you up when it lets you down
And there's nothing you can do
When love can be so cruel

But if your heart needs a hand
A shoulder to cry on
Someone who can understand
And catch the tears as they fall down
Girl you know where I am
If your heart needs a hand

Don't blame yourself for what went wrong
Sometimes you try but you can't hold on
Tthere's no rule, no guarantee
That what you give you will recieve
And there's nothing you can do
Love can be so cruel

Girl I know how you're feelin'
'Cause I been there too
It picks you up right off the ground
You don't need no invitation
I'll be here for you

Go back up

 


 

Forever

I know what makes you smile
I know what makes youcry
If you could count them up
Tthere's a million reasons why
You and I were meant to be
Easy as one two three
Just you and me

You know what turns me on
You know my every mood
You show me how to do those things
I didn't even know I could
You and I were meant to be
Easy as one two three
You and me

(It seems like) almost forever
As long as I can remember
I've been in love with you
And I know that now and forever
We'll be together
We'll see this love through forever and ever


Never gonna let you down
Never gonna break your heart
Always gonna be the one
Who never wants to be apart
Easy as one two three
You and me

Like breathing in and breathing out
There's no question, there's no doubt
All my wishes, all my dreams
They all come back to you

Go back up

 


 

If You Can't Stand to Lose

(w.John Cowan)

If you can't stand to lose
Don't stand in the way
Hey don't you think it's time to say it
Tell he the truth
Don't be afraid
To tell he she's the only one
You can't stand to lose

It's alright, if you're feelin' like
There's something you need to say
'Cause the only words she hasn't heard
Are the very ones
That stand in your way
So just let your heart tell you
What's on your mind
Even though you're afraid
Of what you might find

(chorus)

Go back up

 


That's What Love is All About

(w. Craig Fuller)

She could pack up her things and slip away
Save her pride for another day
He could go on pretendin' he's said
All there is to say
but if love is neverending
When broken hearts need mending
They find a way to hold on to
What matters most of all


Tthere are no rules, there are no truths
There's no reson, there's no rhyme
There's just your heart, to see you through
It tells you every time
And when you feel it down deep inside
Without a doubt
That's what love is
Tthat's what love is all about

So she'll have a little faith
And hold on a little harder
'Cause she knows just what it takes
That's what love has taught her

(chorus)

Go back up
