Safer on the Outside
i'm no good
i feel too small
something's gonna burn
sink on you
drunken highways
someone take the wheel
[chorus:]
faded in the blackout you left me in
it's safer on the outside
i'm swimming in
this kerosene it's hard to breathe
statics got me down
i can't sleep
i'm disconnected
everything went wrong
and certain stars
are sad and bruised like
someone's cheating heart
[repeat chorus 3x]
got me down

Platinum Blonde Life
I'm closing all the curtains
So don't you even bother
And I'm calling out the murder
But I'm underneath the covers
But who's fooling who
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way
[Chorus:]
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I want a platinum blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the colors
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water
Where did my lover go?
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away
[Repeat chorus]
I'm gonna sleep all trough the day
I'm gonna asleep my life away
I'm gonna sleep all through the day
I'm gonna sleep myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it'll go away
[Repeat chorus]
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it will go away

Pretty blond hair singing as she walks

Maybe we should spin a watch all day
In a place far away from here

Open up your heart and let me love you (ooh, ooh)

Out Of My Head
Sometimes I feel
Like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of prosperity
However it may roll
Give it a spin
See if you can somehow factor in
You know theres always more than one way
To say exactly what you mean to say
Chorus:
Was I out of my head? was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find
Dont matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
So quiet but I finally woke up
If youre sad then its time you spoke up too

Babys Gone Blues
(pat bunch, pam rose, mary ann kennedy)
I feel the blues coming on
Cause I feel you being gone
Its something I wish I could lose
Babys gone blues
There aint no sunshine in sight
Cause youre gonna leave me tonight
My heart is sure feeling bruised
Babys gone blues
Chorus:
Oh - love has gone wrong
Its so hard on my heart going from good into gone
There aint no easy way back into nights before you
Babys gone blues
Babys gone blues
Its like a razor on me
Knowing you want to be free
Im standing here feeling used
Babys gone blues
There aint no dreams coming true
I wont recover from you
There aint no heartache like you
Babys gone blues

Sink The Pink
Put your gear into fire
Lay your bullets on the ground
Turn your head to desire
Theres a woman going down
She said shell rough you up, all the way
And she gonna spit you out, count your days
She says choice is yours, casually
So why dont you do what comes naturally
Chorus:
Sink the pink, its all the fashion
Drink the drink, its old-fashioned
Gimme water, gimme wine
Gonna show you a good time
Sink the pink
Sink the pink
Got a fever runnin high
Give you wings to make you fly
She school you like a fool
She make you break the rules
She wanna get a shot, hit the spot
Then Im gonna rack em up, get that hot
She said make it good, satisfy

If That's What You Want
I don't like to think I'm predictable
When I'm loved by somebody I feel like a man
You know it's kind of hard to stop a waterfall
When it just keeps coming 'cause it can
And you've got to let go when your heart is on fire
And it's hard to say no
You can do anything now to me
Chorus 1
If that's what you want, baby I'll get it
If that's what you do, let's do it
If that's what you need, baby just take it
Now you're in a position to light my ignition
If that is what you want
I've been blown away by a hurricane
But hey I'm still standing and I come back for more
Hit me with your love, I can take the pain
'Cause you're so demanding, lay me down on the floor
And you've got to let go when your heart is on fire
And it's hard to say no, yeah
But you can do anything now to me
Chorus 2
If that's what you want, baby I'll get it
If that's what you do, let's do it
If that's what you need, baby oh baby just take it
Now you're in a position to soothe my condition
If that is what you want
Never stopped learning from the day that I was born
Now let me tell you you taught me where I was going wrong
No, I can't do without it
I'm gonna do something about it

I Need You
(Julie Miller)
I need something like morphine only better
I need something like a kiss that lasts forever
I need something like money that will not burn
I need something and I need more, more than I can earn
Chorus: I need something, what can I do?
Hey, I need something, I need you
I need something like a cure for my soul
I need something like amnesia, for things I know
I need something like a mother, 'cause I'm just a child
I need something like an asylum, 'cause I go wild
(repeat Chorus)
I need something like dynamite for the mess I'm in
I need something like a tattoo underneath my skin
I need something more than a lover in my bed
I need somebody here with me, here with me in my head
(repeat Chorus)
I need something bad and I need it now
I got something wrong with me, you can see
I think you better fix it 'cause I don't know how
Hey, I need something, what can I do
Hey, I need something, I need you
I need something, what can I do
Hey, I need something, I need you

When I'm With You
Vs.1 No one knows just how I feel.
I never thought this could be real.
But you've proved me wrong, you see.
I know that you're perfect for me.
(chorus)
There's no one else that makes me feel this way.
No one else that believes in what I say.
Only you can understand the way I think.
My heart can't sink when I'm with you.
Vs.2 Everyday I seem to think about
What my life would be like without
You right there by my side.
Boy, when you're with me I feel alive.
(chorus)

Bridge: No more heartbreak, no more fear.
No more worries with you here.
I know that you won't cause me harm.
I feel safe when I'm in your arms.

Yeah, only you can understand the way I think,
And I know my heart will never sink.. When I'm with you. :)

Kerosene
everywhere I look I see
exclusive huddled
uninviting shelter
is privilege
of the same and competent
kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene
exposure is a pitiful
and pointless way of dying
before it gets me
I'll set a funeral pyre
kerosene keeps me warm
I'm alone to watch it burn
kerosene
i'm a man and
my dignity won't wave
Tonight buildings rage!
kerosene keeps me warm
it feels so good
to watch it burn kerosene
kerosene keeps me warm
feels so good
to watch it burn kerosene

Better Life
Friday night and the moon is high
I'm wide-awake just watchin' you sleep
And I promise you you're gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain't got much now, We're just startin' out
But I know somehow paradise is comin'
Chorus:
Someday baby, You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine
Someday baby you and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on
We're headed for a better life
Oh now there's a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky
I know it's hard to see it now
But baby someday we're gonna fly
This road we're on, you know it might be long
But my faith is strong
It's all that really matters
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So hold on, hold on
C'mon baby, hold on
Yeah, we're gonna have it all
And ooh
(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
Oh, a better life
Hey we're gonna leave this all behind us baby, wait and see
We're headed for a better life, you and me
We're gonna break the chains that bind and, finally we'll be free
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me
Just hold on tight now baby

When You Awake
Ollie told me Im a fool. so i
Walked on down the road a mile, went to the house that brings a smile
Sat upon my grandpas knee, and what do you think he said to me?
(chorus:)
When you awake you will remember evrything, you will be
Hangin on a string from your... when you believe, you will relieve the only
Soul
That you were born with to grow old and never know
Ollie showed me the fork in the road.
You can take to the left or go straight to the right,
Use your days and save your nights,
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat,
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat.
(repeat chorus)
Ollie warned me its a mean old world,
The street dont greet ya, yes, its true;
But what am I supposed to do:
Read the writing on the wall,
I heard itwhen I was very small.
(repeat chorus)
Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the
Captains daughter. you can go and tell your brother. we sure gonna
Love one another, oh! you
May be right and ya might be wrong, I aint gonna worry all day long.
Snows gonna come and the frost gonna bite, my old car froze
Up last night. aint no reason to hang your head I could wake up in the
Mornin dead. oh! and
If I thought it would do any good, Id stand on the rock where moses stood.

Hold On To Your Dreams
(Keith UrbanG M Holden)
Monday morning another workin' week ahead
Friday seems so far ahead
The clock keeps ringin', gotta get up out of bed
Maybe this could be the day
Motivation, well it keeps you holon' on
Every step of the way
Headin' in the right direction when you think you're turnin' wrong
Lookin' out for when you stay
So hear what I say
There's no other way, you gotta
CHORUS:
Hold onto your dreams
Cause someday baby
Your ship is gonna come in so
Hold onto your dreams
Cause everything you see
Comes true if you believe in holding
On to your dreams
Well I know sometimes it's hard to see the light
Shinin' at the tunnel's end
And thought the road just goes on and on for miles
So now and then remember
REPEAT CHORUS
Just like your eyes are the window to the soul
Dreams are the highways that lead to your goal
Hold on, hold on, You've got to hold on, hold on

When I first met you
How you changed my life that day
But when each tomorrow
You just seem to drift away
Then I discovered
That you were cheating
You were cheating on me
But I was the last to know
Ooh, ooh
Chorus:
Our love was a lie
And its no secret
Its no secret
How you hurt me inside
And its no secret
Because you told everybody

Didnt I really love you
You know I gave you all my heart
When I put my arms around you
I never thought wed ever part
Ooh, ooh
Then I discovered
I guess you couldnt love me
Like you said you love me
Ohh, no
Why was I the last to know

All of my life

Just like you
You shattered my dreams
Tore me apart
What can I do

Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love

Now, you ask me just to leave you
To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

Kiss Your Freedom Goodbye
(ed king, johnny van-zant)
I dont read the paper, I dont watch the news
Lifes good in this small town, population 62
Our bank aint been held-up since 1932
Our doors are always unlocked
But not for long Im tellin you
(chorus)
cause I know times are gonna change
I know life will never be the same
I see please tell me it aint so
Theyre all movin in surroundin me
No place left to go
My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Used to have a small town drugstore
Where old men liked to meet
That stores gone out of business
Theyre sellin drugs out in the streets
The new kids like to spray paint
Theyve got a lot to say
Sure do have a way with words
Taught me a few today
(chorus)
cause I know times are gonna change
I know life will never be the same
I see small town folks like me
Are gonna have to change the way we do things cause eventually
My oh my you can kiss your freedom goodbye
Kiss it goodbye
