A Thousand Miles
I'd walk a thousand miles you know
and still I'd find no where to go
unless I felt your love.
I'd run a thousand miles away
and still I'd find no place to stay
unless I felt your love.
My mind is always where you are
and so I'd travel far
to reach you and feel you
once again.
I'd drive across a desert land
and still I'd find I'm stuck in sand
unless I felt your love.
My mind is always where you are
and so I'd travel far
to reach you and feel you
once again.

Love Should Never Feel Like This
Somebody told me love's a beautiful thing
And when I found it all the bells would just ring
The sun would shine and all the birds would sing
Then I met you
I searched the planet for that magical girl
I walked a million miles all over the world
I found the oysters, but never the pearls.
Then I met you...
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I feel sick
I'm so weak
Love should never feel like this
I must be doing something wrong
I've never felt this way before
Walk in the bathroom and I take a deep breath
Look in the mirror and it scares me to death
Look like a junkie that's been strung out on meth
Since I met you
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I feel sick
I'm so weak
Love should never feel like this
I must be doing something wrong
I've never felt this way before
Love should never feel like this
I must be doing something wrong
I never felt this way before
Oh, ignorance was always bliss
Love should never feel like this
Love should never, ever feel like this
I've never felt this way before
I must be doing something wrong
No, Love should never, ever feel like this
I must be doing something wrong
I've never, ever felt this way before
What's wrong with me!

I sit and look at photographs
I sit and look at photographs
And say I love you so
A thousand miles between our laughs
Yet they travel to and fro
-
I see you now, you’re really close
Hand in hand we walk.
Through the pleasant countryside,
Neither seems to talk.
A smile breaks through, laughs ensue
The mirth comes from our heart
It is very plain we two
Should never be apart.
So take my love to keep you warm,
Safe in the days ahead
And I’ll keep yours to ward off harm
And I’ll cherish the things you’ve said.
While I sit and look at photographs
And say I love you so.
A thousand miles between our laughs
Still they travel to and fro

Future Love Paradise
But if only you could see them
You would know from their faces
There were kings and queens
Followed by princes and princesses
There were future power people
From the loved to the loveless
Shining a light 'cause they wanted it seen
Well there were cries of why
Followed by cries of why not
Can I
Reach out for you if that feels good to me
And the riders will not stop us
'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise
No the riders will not stop us
'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise
Paradise yeah
Don't you know that racism in among future kings
Can only lead to no good
to no good
Besides your sons and daughters
already know how that feels
One day (One day)
All the queens will gather round
Spreading love and unity so it can be found
Well then all the riders say it's all to do with drugs
Well inject me
With your love
Inject me with your love alright
And the riders will not stop us
'Cause the only drug they'll find is paradise
Future love paradise
No the riders will not stop us
'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise
Future love paradise
No the riders will not stop us
paradise
The only love they'll find is paradise
Paradise yea
Love paradise
One in and out is gonna make you feel good
paradise
Coming at you like a hurricane would
paradise
Stay close to me I'll always be by your side
Save paradise
Save it baby you know that it's all right
You remind me of a girl I knew paradise
So beautiful once inside you
paradise
You make me feel like I need your love love love
Want to fill me with your love
Fix me with your love all right
And the riders will not stop us
'Cause the only love they'll find is paradise
is paradise
Future love paradise
No the riders will not stop us
'Cause the only drug they'll find is paradise
Oh we'll belivin' in a paradise
The riders will not stop us
'cause the only love they'll find is paradise
Future love paradise
They will never make you feel surely
Like you've felt never felt before I'll
Give myself
To you
And if you change your mind
I'll do anything
Just to make the world peaceful
Just to make life wonderful
I will drown all your sorrows
In a future love paradise
Future love paradise
Future love paradise
They will never make you feel surely
Like you've never felt before
I'll
give myself

A Million Miles From Home
There's a distant radio station
Way, way out there...
Plays in my mind, all the time,
Native American,
Western song and rhyme-
Sounds of a voice calling
From a true old friend,
Whispering wind
Blown in from heaven
Persistently pushes through me
Alluring awe and
Beckoning beauty...
God,
I feel a million million
Miles from home.
And very often a way out there
In the desert
So all alone,
It causes me,
More than anything else,
To seek You.
This desert so stark and so real
My soul feels the wind
As it touches the pure sky of blue.
And still-always it seems-
I'm a million miles from Home.
It's why I can't stay still,
Following the spirits will.
I travel with nothing more
Than what I wear,
Old worn boots
Faded jacket
Hat for shade
Canteen for thirst,
I'll trust the love of strangers
With food to share,
I've no earthly roots
No place to stay and sit
Memories wander and fade
As I continue to seek
The Last and the First.
And still-always it seems-
I'm a million miles from Home.
I feel it all so deep
In my weary bones.
Will I ever make it?
Does the wind-spirit lead me there?
Blind I look,
Deaf I listen...
Only my heart seems to truly understand
I've nowhere else to go,
Whether a million miles away
Or a million days
I will continue searching throughout this land
Until I find I know,
What yet I do not know.

1,000 Miles Away
Its morning time, wonder where you are
Wonder who youre talking to
Wonder if the sun has risen where you are
Its morning time, I miss your hands on my skin
This beds too big without you
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and Im lying next to you.
The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
Maybe its my battery, maybe its my starter,
Maybe my hearts too weak
Theres just this feeling, thought I had to get going
Got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
But now I dont know how to get home.
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
Mama says take my vitamins,
Daddy says girl, dont stay out so late
Sister says theres other fishes in the sea
But love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
No, love is not a rational thing
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
These fields stretch out like patchwork, on my grannys quilt
She used to tell me that
Life is a series of strange and mysterious things
One minute you think youre up, the next you find youre down
Your mind says girl, you gotta stick around
But your heart says Im too weak in the knees
Oh god, what do I do?
Im a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

Reach
I know where Im going,
And Ive got all my cards showing.
Im like the crow flies, a straight line
Reaching for the other side
I dig the sand they kick at me with a calm that stuns.
Tracing time with no alibis makes me, makes me realize.
Its ok its just a dream I had.
That theres something out there,
Something, just out of reach
Armed with time on my side
And a field of vision miles wide.
Ill keep searching for some meaning
Whatever makes me feel alive.
Its ok its just a dream I had.
That theres something out there,
Something, just out of reach
Today I felt something so strong it took my breath away.
Now I long
To live like this everyday.
Ill find it some way.
Im alive with so much of life to try.
Ive got no memories of what used to worry me.
Its ok its just a dream I had.
That theres something out there,
Something, just out of reach
Someday Ill reach.
Its ok its just a dream I had.
That theres something out there,
Something just out of reach
Just out of reach, just out of reach

Next To You
I cant stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
You took me over, let me find a way
I sold my house
I sold my motor, too
All I want is to be next to you
Id rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane
You took me over,
Think Im goin insane
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
Ive had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But Ive never felt like this before
But I just dont know whats come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you
So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind
When all it is is just a love affair
You took me over baby, take me there
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you

Travel to the place...
Travel to the place
Where mind set to peace,
No one can see,
Feel us free.
Travel to the place
Where we can breathe,
Fill our desire,
We wish; we aspire.
Travel to the place
Where we have silence,
Flower of fragrance,
And nature to admire.
Travel to the place
Where we can write,
Lines of rhyme,
At any time.
Travel to the place
Where we have enough space,
Work without race,
No tension on face.
Travel to the place
Where we can dance,
Sing at glance,
Bit of time to romance.
Travel to the place
Where we spread love,
Freedom to serve
And land to move.
Travel to the place
Where we can live,
Of joy and sprinkle its grace,
And do anything, anywhere.

You Were Led On
Face the fact.. cant you tell she don't feel the same
And I know you're just a fool that hopes to find
That she loves you like you love her .. in your dreams
To stay togther and feel the same
Thats how you want it to be
Now that the feeling's gone from her face
Hang your head and walk away
'Cause there ain't no love and there never was
There's nothing she felt , you read her wrong
Oh, you were led on
When you see her , you're so out there to try
You beg on your knees, don't you have any pride
There's many other girls
That would love you for who you are
You waste your time on someone
That don't want your love
Now that the feeling's gone from her face
Hang your head and walk away
'Cause there ain't no love and there never was
There's nothing she felt , you read her wrong
Oh, you were led on , you were led on....
She said.... don't continue to follow
Walk the opposite way
Find someone else that will love you the same
Haven't you got any other things to do instead of trying
Pull yourself togther baby , stop wasting your time.
Now that the feeling's gone from her face
Hang your head and walk away
'Cause there ain't no love and there never was
There's nothing she felt , you read her wrong
Oh, you were led on.......

If There Is Something
If there is something
That I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind, I say
Where would you go
If you were me?
Trying to keep a straight course is not easy
Somebody special
Looking at me
Same kind of reaction
Wanted to crie with me
Lived here and there
Its too easy to say
But the service just a game a game-ame-ame-ame
I would do anything for you
I would come all day
I would swim all the oceans blue hu
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I will put roses around the door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score
Shake your head girl, with your ponytail
Takes me right back [when you were young]
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down [when you were young]
Your love - feel you put them on the ground
It use to fall apart [when you were young]
Your love - feel you put them on the ground
The hills were higher [when you were young]
Your love - feel you put them on the ground
The trees were taller then [when you were young]
Your love - feel you put them on the ground
The grass was greener [when you were young]
Your love could feel you with devotion
Used to walk upon [when you were young]

It's A Hard Road
I jumped on the train
I left this old town
I escaped the rain
I'm no longer down
The wheels start to turn
My worries are gone
I have lots to learn
About the trail that I'm on
As I look around
I see my new friend
I know I am bound
To travel till the end
I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best
The train it did slow
I'm in a new place
The moonlight does glow
On my tired face
It's time for me
To try and find a bed
It's time for me
To rest my weary head
Morning is here
There's sorting to do
I'll sound sincere
With my goodbye to you
I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best
It's time to move away
I'm not satisfied
I've spent many a day
Finding a place to reside
There's a town on my mind
It's just down the track
No need to find
A way to get back
The train I will get
Sitting at the station
The future is set
I feel anticipation
I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

This Month Messiah
I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I feel...feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah
I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

Ill Believe It When I Feel It
Now when you left everybody told me
That Id find another to take the place of you
And they all said someone else would hold me
And Id have a lover to love like I loved you
Chorus:
Ill believe it when I feel it
When somebody makes me feel the way you did
They say hes out there
They tell me someday Ill forget
Ill believe it when I feel it
But I havent felt it yet
Ive heard in time
Time is going to heal me
Its been forever
And I still need you now
Maybe I will someday find that feeling
We had together
Oh but Ive got my doubts
Repeat chorus
Ill believe it when I felt
But I havent felt it yet

Miles From Nowhere
Miles from nowhere
I guess Ill take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.
Lord my body has been a good friend
But I wont need it when I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
Guess Ill take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there
I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
cause I know when I find it my honey
Its gonna make me feel good
I love everything
So dont it make you feel sad
cause Ill drink to you, my baby
Ill think to that, Ill think to that.
Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but its alright
I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose
Lord my body has been a good friend
But I wont need it when I reach the end
Miles from nowhere
Guess Ill take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there.

Separation
If I walk a thousand miles
and have no place to go
my adventure will be worrisome
and all the things I know
will make me want to hesitate
before taking another stride.
For all the places I leave behind
are places where I cried.
But I needed the walk to show me
that escape was not the way.
All I did was travel right along
and at the end of the day
those miles I walked were numbing
and gave me nothing new.
So I walked a thousand more miles
and came back home to you.
My feet were sore. My heart was sore
but then I saw your face.
And all those miles that I walked
never could replace
the familiarity, the same old scene
and how being with you feels.
Time and space can't fix all wounds
but the walking somehow heals.

Come Home My Son, Come Home
As I travel across this country
the land that I love best
with its snowy peaked mountains
that lay out of reach in the west.
The rivers and the lakes
where nature grows at its best.
The forests and the plains
that each has their part
in the land I love the best.
I write from a distant shore
with dreams of coming home again
ever always on my mind.
Seeing once again friends
from a long, long time ago.
The land that I live in is not to my desire.
My home is ten thousand miles away,
and each time I see it,
it’s like the birth of a new day.
The cities are filled with people
and in the countryside; you can breathe in the fresh air.
The more I dream about it,
the more I wish to be there.
It is not the land of my birth,
but the place that I call home.
That distant country keeps calling to me
come home my son, come home.

Things i do when i am alone
When I m alone I walk a thousand miles as an I drift away,
When I m alone I fall asleep, when aimlessly staring at the sky,
When I m alone I sit in corner, and cry.
When I m alone I watch the sun, I watch the rain
When I m alone I feel the joy, I feel the pain
When I m alone I sit on the terrace and listen to the whisper of the night
When I m alone I get drenched in the rain and pray for the rainbow light
When I m alone I celebrate my joys and cry out my sadness
When I m alone I voice out ma fears and reach out my madness
When I m alone I walk a thousand miles as an I drift away,
And now I m afraid alone I will die someday

I'll Take Texas
=========================================================================
There's no reason I should go
When I really want to stay
There's no place that I know
I'd go to anyway
If you ask me, I'll take Texas any day
There's folks who travel 'round
Ain't no place they will stay
And they never can be found
Anywhere but on their way
But you can find me here in Texas any day
There's everything and more than you could hope to find
From the sandy beaches to the mountains and the pines
My mind's got room to wander
But my heart will never stray
And you can find me here in Texas any day
There's no reason I should go
And you really ought to stay
By now you've got to know
There's only one thing I could say
If you ask me, I'll take Texas any day
There's everything and more than you could hope to find
There's miles of smilin' faces, all just one of a kind
My mind's got room to wander
But my heart will never stray
And you can find me here in Texas
I'll be right here in Texas
If you ask me, I'll take Texas any day
