Leave It All Behind
I took a drive along the west bank of the shore
I thought of what you said then I thought some more
You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone
And all you want is just a taste of the unknown
Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone
You say you need a change, I recognize the tone
Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere Ill go
Im not saying what is right or what is wrong
Im just thinking youve been hanging here too long
So, why dont we, just up and leave it all behind
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time, leave it all behind
What I really want to do is see you smile
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while
Theres too much going on to keep it all inside
You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out
(chorus)
You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out
(final chorus)

From A Whisper To A Scream
Oh its not easy to resist temptation
Walking around looking like a figment of somebody elses imagination
Taking evry word she says just like an open invitation
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation
Chorus:
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
So I whisper and I scream
But dont get me wrong
Please dont leave me waitin too long
Waitin too long
Waitin too long
Waitin too long
Hey
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh if the customers like it then theyll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking then theyll end up staying
I heard someone say where have we met before
But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four

I Scream
Vs.1 I shout when I'm angry,
I yell when I'm mad.
It doesn't really matter what kind of day I had.
[Because I have no one to save me! ]
(chorus)
I scream and shout,
Raise my voice and shout out loud,
I scream day and night,
Everyone's sayin' it's alright, but
I don't know 'bout that.
Man, I scream!
Vs.2 They think I am crazy,
They think I am bad.
No one really knows about the troubles I have had.
[Because I have no one to save me! ]
(chorus)
(long solo)
Vs.3 I walk like I'm awesome,
I walk like I'm proud.
Everyone knows who I am and that I'm really loud.
[And now, my song is almost done! ]
(chorus) x 2
Yeahhhhhh
I SCREAM!

All Day Long
This is a song about an innocent
Who died at the hands of a desperate man
He trusted those who he thought he knew
He trusted those who he looked up to
Ill never forget the joy in his face
Hed laugh and hed cry and hed ruin my place
Hed drive me crazy, and hed drive me wild
I used to scream and shout all day long
Now I hope you know this song
Is about a child who now has gone
And other children like him, too
Abused and used by what adults do
So dont tell me about politics
Or all the problems of our economics
When you cant look after what you cant own
You scream and shout all day long

Get Over You
Get Over You"
I can remember the day and time that we broke up
It was December and the holidays were coming up
I didnt expect to loose all of the time I shared with you
But now that its gone I find myself longing for you
[Pre-Chorus]
No doubt about it Im sorry for the way things worked out
If I could change it I would change it but I dont know how
Oooooooooooooooooo
(No I cant aint no need to cry when I know the reason why)
You chose to leave me but I still wish you were here with me
[Chorus]
Its true I cant get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I cant get over you
I can remember calling your phone and hanging up
Cause I was to afraid to talk, if by chance you picked it up
But now that I done thought about it,
Id feel better if we talk about it
And let you know whats on my mind
See I wanna try to make things right.
[Repeat Prelude]
[Repeat Chorus]
Lately Ive been doing some reminiscing
Id be lying if I said that I dont miss you
I have feelings from deep in the past
Cause now I need you back
It wasnt so bad
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
I cant get over you
I cant get over you
No I cant get over
Said no way I cant get over
I cant get over you
Alright yea yea

Inside Out (feat. Don Henley)
The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growing old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on New Year's Eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour, your hardest fight
I wanna know you, like I know myself
I'm waiting for you, there ain't no one else
I wanna know you, inside out
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The longest prayer you ever prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry
What makes you mad, what gets you by
Your highest high, your lowest low
There are the things I wanna know
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mind
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna know your soul, I wanna lose control
Come on and let it out
I wanna know you inside out
Chorus:
I wanna dig down deep, I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout, I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time, I wanna know you're mine
You know there ain't no doubt, I wanna know you inside out

Yeah
All right
Oh yeah
Oh, come on boys
Your lights sheen nothing like sparkles
You look like you're toast
Put you hands up in the air

You see that from the front row
We are shapes of things to come
You're handcuffed to your seat
And there is no place left to run
Your brains are in our power
We ponder as we feed
A healthy dose of metal
And that's all you'll ever need
I want more
(I want more)
So give it all

Shout to the car

Long Way Home
J. spinks, r. difonzo
I drive these streets alone in silence
Another ride trying to clear my head
But all I hear is just the beat of my heart
I think of her but I see you instead
(chorus)
And theres a thousand little lies
A thousand little reasons
For me to stay - for me to go
And theres a thousand little voices
Inside my head saying
Take the long way home
I tell myself that its all over
But then I see you and I just dont know
What should I listen to my heart or my mind
Too tired to think about the way I should go
(chorus)
Theres no one out there when you need to decide
And youre on your own
You keep on thinking bout the wrong that youve done
You try to hide but theres no place to run

Shout Shout
Correct me if you think that Im mistaken
I wouldnt want to overstate my case
But while Im the one bringing home the bacon
Ive got a right to be heard around this place
You seem to think that life dealt you a bad deal
On the day we both pronounced the words I do
You yell at me for hours about what bugs you
Well thats a waste of time cos I can do that too
Shout shout dont leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You wont change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still wont care
You dont move me an inch when you do that
Im trying my best to be your husband
And a father to our little baby girl
And Id rather rely on my own judgement
Than the vagaries and fashions of this world
If you wanted a doctor or a lawyer
You should have married one of them instead of me
Or some other guy who would ignore you
When hed make a point and you would disagree
Shout shout dont leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You wont change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still wont care
You dont move me an inch when doing that
And now Ill make my confessing
I love to row as much as you
But while it might be fun, in the long run
Its not going to change a thing we do
Again I make my confession
I love to row as much a you
But while it might be fun, in the long run
Its not going to change a thing we do
Shout shout dont leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You wont change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still wont care
You dont move me an inch when you do that
Shout shout dont leave a doubt
Smash up the place or throw things about
You wont change a thing by doing that
Rant rave pull out your hair
Turn on the tears, I still wont care
You dont move me an inch when you do that

Dont Leave Her Lonely Too Long
(kostas/marty stuart)
Well my friend you ask me what to do
If I were you, and feeling blue
I know inside that you still care
You want her here, but shes out there
Dont leave her lonely too long
cause shell be gone, gone, gone
Dont leave her lonely too long
cause shell be gone, gone, gone
You still have time to change her mind
She needs to know, the way you feel
And there could be no better time
Youve got to show her your love is real
Dont leave her lonely too long
cause shell be gone, gone, gone
Dont leave her lonely too long
cause shell be gone, gone, gone
Theres strangers waiting in line
To take your place and leave you behind
And then too late youll change your mind
Your heart will break a million times
Dont leave her lonely too long
cause shell be gone, gone, gone
Dont leave her lonely too long
cause shell be gone, gone, gone
Shell be gone, gone, gone

It's About Time
I shed my skin
And set aside this self-made darkness
'N walk on into the light
I'm sick of this Prison
I been calling my life
I finally found out the gates of hell are locked from the inside
Just like Moses
Headed for the Promised Land
We don't get to know where we're goin'
We only know where we've been
[Hope]
Whever you gotta start, ya start
[Faith]
Whatever you gotta leave, you leave
[Life]
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Love]
Sometimes you're gonna take the next best thing
[Joy]
Whatever you wanta start, ya start
[Time]
Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Trust]
Sometimes you gotta scream
CHORUS
If it's about joy
If it's about life
If it's about love
It's about time we get started
If it's about trust
If it's about hope
If it's about us
It's about time we get started
We don't get forever
We just get now or never
To make the best or the worst of the time that we got
There's power in this groove
And I surrender to the river
It's takin' me to
I'll learn to swim
I'm getting in
I'm getting wet
I may be drownin'
But I ain't dead yet
[Hope]
Whever you gotta start, ya start

Whatever you gotta leave, you leave

Sometimes you're gonna hit the mark
[Trust]
Sometimes you gotta scream

Oh baby
It's all right
You only gotta face yourself
To make it to the other side
Oh baby you don't know what you'll find
Til you tear down those walls
And make up your mind

I been tryin'
Prayin' cryin
Lord, what's it gonna take
Step by step you go on

With You In A Heartbeat
(howe/thomas)
I had your picture, i had it there on the wall
It's been a long time, i didn't notice it fall
Just goes to show you, things get strange, there's nothin', nothin' i can do
You got your own life, i got mine, i still got feelings for you
And i wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right
Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight
If you call me tonight
Chorus:
I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name
I got no answers, sometimes i just wanna shout
Which way to turn now, can't seem to figure this out
I haven't seen you in oh so long, nothin', nothin' seems to fade
Tried to forget you, but you won't go, ooh the memories we made
And i tried so hard to fight it, but it keeps comin' through
Ooh you were all i ever wanted, i'm waiting for you, if you wanted me too
Chorus
I'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my name
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, no questions, no blame
And i'll be with you in a heartbeat, just whisper my, just whisper my name

And i wonder what you're thinking, does it ever seem right
Don't you know there's something missing, we don't have to fight

You can turn from a whisper to a shout, ooh yeah

You can take what you wanna take, babe, take it all away

Oh, theres no smoke without a fire, and theres no heat without a flame
Oh, theres no love without desire, but I wont play your games

You disappear, you dont come home all night

Real World
I wonder what its like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what its like to know that I made the rain
Id store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when im...done, when Im done
I wonder what its like to be a super hero
I wonder where Id go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will be...stunned, theyre stunned
(chorus)
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wonder what its like to be the head honcho
I wonder what Id do if they all did just what I said
Id shout out an order, I think were out of this man get me some
Boy dont make me wanna change my...tone, my tone

Please dont change, at all from me

Turns To Stone
A thousand miles underneath my emotions
Hidden from the eyes of everyone
No one must know
All the secrets if my soul anymore
No never again
Girl youve got the only key
To open up the door only you
Eventually, even that could change
Chorus:
I will wait for you
But I dont want to wait forever
Cause Im on my own
Im trying to keep the fire from getting cold
I will wait for you
But I dont want to wait
Until our love turns to stone
I dont want to turn to stone
I dont want to spend another night without you
Im afraid my mind will start to wander
Time between us,
Hours turning into days, into years
Oh, oh, oh
Looking back at what went wrong
Some things we must let you
Eventually, somethings got to give

Silence
[verse]
Take
Take till there's nothing
Nothing to turn to
Nothing when you get through
Won't you break
Scattered pieces of all I've been
Bowing to all I've been
Running to
Where are you?
Where are you?
[verse]
Did you leave me unbreakable?
You leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold
I thought you were silent
And I thought you left me
For the wreckage and the waste
On an empty beach of faith
Was it true?
[chorus]
Cuz I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?
[verse]
Scream
Deeper I wanna scream
I want you to hear me
I want you to find me
Cuz I...I want to believe
But all I pray is wrong
And all I claim is gone

And I...I got a question

Where are you?

The Last Time
Now its the last time to remember what you said to me
And Im the last person in the world I thought Id be
And now its high time to be something bigger than we are
Its never too late to reverse a thing thats gone too far
(1st chorus)
And I think the whole worlds laughing at us
But I dont care, thats not the point
Theres so much more
Theres so much more than meets the eye
Oh, when youre around Im blind
Now its the last time to leave the shadows far behind
And its the last time to clear the cobwebs from our mind
And its the last time to bury all our memories
And its the last time before everything just fades away
(2nd chorus)
And I wish that you were here with me
And I wish that somehow things would change
Youd lose your fear of me
And I feel that things might be okay
Oh, wouldnt that be strange
Now its the last time to reconsider what weve done
And its the last time to start all over from day one

Life
Life, this is an outrageous life,
Were living in.
We call this turmoil our life,
Oh, and its gettin old coming over again.
But we dont hear nobody,
Say what theyre after.
And we dont hear nobody,
Searching for answers.
John kennedy died,
They thought he had a solution.
We want to know,
What happened to the revolution.
Did we all get hung up in life.
And do we all know,
Just where were going.
Everythings wrong,
So a change has got to be right (man, baby).
Life, for all the rest of our life,
Will we be wrapped up in strife.
Or, are we gonna start it all over again.
We want to have somebody,
Come up with the answers.
We want to be somebody,
That knows what their after.
We hope that everybody,
Can hear what Im sayin.
We know that we will,
If we just keep on prayin.
Chorus
Learning to share what were standing on.
Learning to care cus its been so long.
No one so big that they have it all.
Weve got to give to the very small.
Life, give me the rest of my life,
I want to finish it right.
So, I dont have to start all over again.
Lets get together,
For some satisfaction.
Lets stand together,
On a chain reaction.
We need somebody,
We could really depend on.
Dont wait till tomorrow,
cause it just might be too long.
