1. Hannah Jane You got your big girl Now you’ve got your young one too Wondering if some day I could have them the way I once had you I remember your crazy remarks We’d get drunk and go out after dark Searching for someone we could take home Chorus: You don’t wanna be alone You don’t want to see the sun go down You don’t wanna open the door and see her go One step and tomorrow comes Two steps and she’s off with someone Three steps and it’s all you know You’ll be gone, she’ll be gone So what are you gonna do about me I’ll be there when you have no one else I’ll be there, be your friend Hold on strong, don’t let go There will never be no one to take your place So don’t you want to reach out and take my hand Repeat chorus
2. Hold My Hand With a little love, and some tenderness We'll walk upon the water We'll rise above this mess With a little peace, and some harmony We'll take the world together We'll take 'em by the hand 'Cause I've got a hand for you 'Cause I wanna run with you Yesterday, I saw you standing there Your head was down, your eyes were red No comb had touched your hair I said get up, and let me see you smile We'll take a walk together Walk the road awhile, 'cause 'Cause I've got a hand for you I've got a hand for you 'Cause I wanna run with you Won't you let me run with you? yeah Hold my hand Want you to hold my hand Hold my hand I'll take you to a place where you can be Hold my hand Anything you wanna be because I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can See I was wasted, and I was wasting time 'Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud I don't wanna be part of your problems Don't wanna be part of your crowd, no 'Cause I've got a hand for you I've got a hand for you 'Cause I wanna run with you Ah, won't you let me run with you? Hold my hand Want you to hold my hand Hold my hand I'll take you to the promised land Hold my hand Maybe we can't change the world but I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah Hold my hand Want you to hold my hand Hold my hand I'll take you to a place where you can be Hold my hand Anything you wanna be because I...Oh...No, No, No, No, No Hold my hand Want you to hold my hand Hold my hand I'll take you to the promised land Hold my hand Maybe we can't change the world but I wanna love you the best that, best that I can Oh, The best that I can
3. Let Her Cry She sits alone by a lamppost trying to find a thought that’s escaped her mind She says Dad’s the one I love the most but Stipe’s not far behind She lets me in only tell me where’s she’s been when she’s had too much to drink I say that I don’t care I just run my hands through her dark hair and I pray to God you gotta help me fly away And just… Let her cry…if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing…if it eases all her pain Let her go…let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be…let her be. This morning I woke up alone found a note by the phone saying maybe I’ll be back some day I wanted to look for you You walked in I didn’t know just what to do so I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself. -Chorus- -Solo- -Chorus- Last night I tried to leave She cried so much I just could not believe she was the same girl I fell in love with long ago She went in the back to get high I sat down on my couch and cried yelling oh mama please help me won’t you hold my hand. -Chorus- -Chorus-
4. Only Wanna Be With You You and me We come from different worlds You like to laugh at me When I look at other girls Sometimes you’re crazy And you wonder why I’m such a baby Cause the Dolphins make me cry Chorus: Well there’s nothing I can do I only wanna be with you You can call me your fool Only wanna be with you Put on a little Dylan sitting on a fence I say that line is great You ask me what I meant by “Said I shot a man named Gray Took his wife to Italy She inherited a million bucks And when she died it came to me I can’t help it if I’m lucky” Only wanna be with you Ain’t Bobby so cool Only wanna be with you (Solo) Yeah I’m tangled up in blue Only wanna be with you You can call me your fool Only wanna be with you Sometimes I wonder If it will ever end You get so mad at me When I go out with my friends Sometimes you’re crazy And you wonder why I’m such a baby yeah The Dolphins make me cry Well there’s nothing I can do Only wanna be with you You can call me your fool Only wanna be with you Yeah I’m tangled up in blue Only wanna be with you
5. Running From An Angel Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth Come on try and tell me what you’re talkin about Those things you’re dealing with, you’re living a lie Every time I see you it makes me wanna cry Sometimes we’d laugh and talk, seems like yesterday Then you let the white horse come and take you away They came to get you, it was cold and black The wheels were in motion, there was no turning back Chorus: Running from and angel, runnin to the devil I looked up to you a long time ago But there’s something I want you to know Your lying and cheating really tore us apart Please don’t come home if you’re gonna break my momma’s heart Chorus Ad lib (over solo section) Chorus Ad lib (over outro)
6. I’m Going Home Mama please don’t go Won’t you stay here for one more day I’ve been your boy for so long now There’s so much I still have to say Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand Like a soldier on his very last day Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened As I heard the angels sing Chorus: Sha la la la Sha la la la, I’m going home. Sha la la la Sha la la la, I’m going home. Something inside makes me scream How could God take you from a little boy He’ll be alright, he’s by my side He’s no little boy, he’s my pride and joy Repeat chorus Summer on the radio and the phone rings And it was Jeanette She said boy we had to let her go I begged her no, no not yet You left six of us to fend for ourselves I guess it’s part of someone’s master plan I see you laughing, you’re my best friend You’re the light of the lamb, and I cried as the angels sing Repeat chorus twice
7. Drowning Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls? Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate Time to make the world a better place Why must we hate one another? Well no matter what we gotta live together Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see When we pass on the street what do you wanna see P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say Wanna turn and run away They're just telling you how they see it Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit chorus: Drowning in a sea of tears Hatred trying to hide your fears Living only for yourself Hating everybody else Cause they don't look like you Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go About some fat racist living in Chicago Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son? Why must we hate one another? When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying Go back to Africa, I just don't understand (chorus) I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man No I'm not like you Why do you hate me so I don't know, I don't know, I don't know Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
8. Time Time, why you punish me? Like a wave bashing into the shore You wash away my dreams. Time, why you walk away? Like a friend with somewhere to go You left me crying Can you teach me about tommorrow And all the pain and sorrow Running free? Cause tomorrow's just another day And I don't believe in time Time, I don't understand Children killing in the street Dying for the color of red Time, hey there red and blue Wash them in the ocean, make them clean, Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight Can you teach me about tomorrow All the pain and sorrow Running free? But tomorrow's just another day And I don't believe in... chorus: Time is wasting Time is walking You ain't no friend of mine I don't know where i'm goin' I think I'm out of my mind Thinking about time And if I die tomorrow, yeah Just lay me down in sleep (chorus) Time, you left me standing there Like a tree growing all alone The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare Time, the past has come and gone The future's far away Now only lasts for one second, one second Can you teach me about tomorrow And all the pain and sorrow Running free? 'Cause tomorrow's just another day And I don't believe in time (chorus) Time, why you punish me?
9. Look Away I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something was wrong I asked her what it was She looked away and said my daddy’s home. I knew what that meant It meant that I could never see her again I had seen this once before I didn’t wanna deal with it anymore Look away she said, as she turned to me And when I tried to hold her, I couldn’t let her be Let her be, Let her be I said why, why do you make me cry She said I love you so, Look away I don’t wanna know I saw her standing there Tears upon her cheek told me something’s wrong I said what baby she looked away and said my daddy’s home Look away she said, and she turned to me but darling, oh I loved her, couldn’t let her be Let her be, Let her be Look away, she said I love you so, Look Away.
10. Not Even The Trees Alone as I sit and watch the trees Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come Or will you laugh at me Or will I run Little boy says to me, "Where you goin' now son" I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy I only know where I'm from" And it makes me wonder If the stars shine when my eyes close Or does my brothers heart cry I don't know I'm a stranger in my home Now that everybody's gone Someone please talk to me Cause I feel you cry And you're sitting with him And I know I'll never see you again Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky You see I'm tired of feeling this pain I'm tired of living my own little lie And it makes me wonder When I see you in my dreams Does it mean anything Are you trying to talk to me I'm a stranger in my home Tell me are you feeling alone Someone tell me what to do 'Cause I'm feeling strong And I wonder how you feel Do you realize my pain is for real I see you in my dreams And I wonder if you're looking down at me And smiling right now I wanna know if it's true When he looks at me Won't you tell me Does he realize he came down here And he took you too soon And now my days are short an my nights are long I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on It makes me wonder as I sit and stare Will I see your face again Tell me, do you care I'm a stranger in my home Living life on my own Right now I just can't see 'Cause i'm feeling weak And my sould begins to bleed And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
11. Goodbye Tomorrow used to be a day away Now love is gone and you’re into someone far away. I never thought the day would come When I would see his hand, not mine, holding onto yours because I could not find the time. Now I can’t deny nothing lasts forever I don’t want to leave and I see the tear drops in your eyes I don’t want to live to see the day we say goodbye Now there comes another part of life that I call alone sitting at a bar with Chris and I can’t leave ‘cause my house ain’t no home, no. I just wanna touch you girl I wanna feel you close to me Without your love I would give up now and walk away so easily. So maybe while you’re young We’ll figure out together that even with the pain, there’s a remedy and we’ll be all right I don’t want to live to see the day we say goodbye. When I first met you I couldn’t love anyone but you stole my dreams and you made me see that I can walk under the sun and I can still be me and now I can’t deny nothing lasts forever. But I don’t want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes So baby while we’re young let’s figure out together that even with the pain there’s a remedy and we’ll be all right. I don’t want to live to see the day we say goodbye, we say goodbye, oh goodbye, goodbye.
