Take Me To The Highway
Simmons/okerman/fedele/midnight/schwartz
Drove my car to the top of the hill
And I looked out across the town
I got the urge to move again
I guess Ill never settle down
We talked about things getting better
But they still looked the same to me
Could be a near sighted heart
Seein what it wants to see
So take me to the highway
Take me far from here
These days Im not seein anything too clear
Nothin seems to move fast enough
When time isnt on your side
Cant seem to keep the wheels in motion
No matter how hard you try
I need another point of view
Someplace Ive never seen
Keepin my eyes wide open
Goin where Ive never been
So take me to the highway
Take me far from here
These days Im not seein anything too clear
Ive been lookin for an answer
And Ive got a long way to go
But when I reach that place
I know Ill find what Im lookin for

For The First Time
Are those your eyes, is that your smile
Ive been lookin at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time Im seein who you are
I cant believe how much I see
When youre lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....
Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
Its all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time Im seein who you are
I cant believe how much I see
When youre lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....
Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin this emotion..ever again
But you live with me now
Yes Ive found you some how
And Ive never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time Im seein who you are
Cant believe how much I see
When youre lookin back at me
Now I understand why love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....

Nothin But The Taillights
Blue kentucky highway, headin for the line
She hadnt said a word all night,
But the wheels are turnin in her mind
Now I was ridin shotgun,
And I knew things had gone awry
Just as soon as she dropped me off
At the side of the road
And she let that gravel fly
Chorus
Now Im walkin in the moonlight,
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right,
Showin me nothin but the taillights
And thats about as lonely
As the highways ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
Was it somethin that I did to her,
Or the things I never said
I wonder if the way we were was only in my head
Now if I even make it back to town
Before the sun comes up
Im gonna hit every parking spot around
til I find that pick-up truck
Chorus
Now Im talkin in the moonlight
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
I may never see again
She hit me with the left and right
Showin me nothin but the taillights
And thats about as lonely
As a highways ever been
Stuck here with my thumb out in the wind
Well Ill bet right now shes laughin
At how she brought me to my knees
But she wont be laughin half as loud
When she gives me back my keys
Chorus
Shell be walkin in the moonlight,
Seein nothin but the taillights
And thats a pair of taillights
She wont ever see again
She hit me with a left and right
And with nothin but the taillights
And I know thats about as lonely
As a highways ever been
Back here with my thumb out in the wind
There she goes, here I come

We Live So Fast
Please dont ask me to stay
Im leaving this town
Dont worry now
Believe me as I believe that
Luck is on my side
The future is mine
If I can find
A way through these strange days of my life
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen
The streets deserted and cold
Theyre not paved with gold
But I dont care
For those who think young will still survive
Making their move
Hoping to prove
That they can face
This big city, small world, big time
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen
But now I know their ways
I found my place
Saw their true face
Theres nothing to stay for so Ill go
Ill pick up the phone
Still searching for home
We life so fast
Alone but not lonely I move on
We live so fast
Motion, motion
No time to waste
Use it, use it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Make the first step and reach out for tomorrow
We live so fast
Motion, motion
We cant stand still
Move it, move it
We live so fast
Motion, motion
Move out of my way its time to make it happen

These Chains
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over agai-ain
I was a foo-ool for a good lookin' woman
Till I found out the hard way there was some other man
Now what else could I do, how could anyone blame me
He was standin' there smilin' with a gun in his ha-and
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over again
She had a known reputation but I paid no attention
With love and affection, can make anything right
The judge had no mercy for my infatuation
He said killin's a sin boy, you gotta pay-ay the price
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over again
Down the hall there's a window, you can barely fit through it
And deep in the night I see the lights of town
And it started me thinkin' 'bout a mystical ladder
That's as high as these walls and I'm climbin' it rung by-y ru-ung
These chains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here
And these chai-ains won't keep me from seein' my freedom
I'm changin' my name and startin' over again
These chai-ains won't keep me from bein' a free man
I'm doin' what I can to get out of here

Kings Highway
Walkin down kings highway
With a brown paper bag in my hand
Nothin else but the clothes I got on
But I aint lookin back
I aint lookin back
Blame it on the midnight girl
And that wicked spell she cast
She pulled me in with them liquid eyes
Now I aint looking back
I aint looking back
Oh what a tangled web she weaves
I was losing my mind
Starin down the barrel of a gun
Its just a matter of time
Walkin down kings highway
Black cat crossin my path
I know thats her trying to make me stay
But, I aint looking back
I aint looking back
Kings highway
I got to travel that

Stranger
On a cold and windy morning, said goodbye to my old friends
They were hangin around the corner,
They were stayin till the end
On the other side of midnight,
I was lookin for a place to stay
And one things sure for certain,
I aint never goin back again
The streetlights looked so pretty as they spread into a town
I was lookin for another sundown
And my head was spinning round and round
Chorus: lookin through the eyes of a stranger
Lookin through the eyes of danger
Lookin at the all-night dancer
Never takin all the chances
As I walked into the main street, saw a crowd across the square
And I heard a guitar playin and I saw you standing there
Chorus
Distant bells they started ringing, somewhere far off in the night
And the place was full of loneliness that disappeared from sight

This Is The Right Time
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
This is the right time to believe in love
Everyone knows if you dont demand, it shows
That you understand the light shining inside us
Its more than tonight, its forever more, its right
When theres someone there till the light, to hold you close
You know its all you will ever need,
cause youre seein love, and seein it clearly
Theres no doubt about it, you just have to shout out
Chorus:
This is the right time
This is the right time (I can see it in your eyes)
This is the right time to believe in love
Everyone knows its a special thing, its a love
That will never, ever be wrong, cause this love is strong
cause youre seein love, and seein it clearly
Theres no doubt about it, you just have to shout out
Chorus x 2
So when you know that theres someone you want
And you want them so tonight, more than youve done anyone
cause youre seein love, and seein it clearly
Theres no doubt about it, you just have to shout out
Chorus x 2
Well, do you believe, baby?
cause I believe, baby
Do you believe, baby?
Believe in love

Shouldve Been Me
(mark paul)
There she goes with a smile on her face
Riding right next to you
Goin out to all those places
You used to take me to
Wearin your jacket like it was her own
I used to wear it so well
Why on earth did I let you go
If I hadnt Id be with you still
Call it jealousy, call me a fool
But its more than my eyes wanna see
cause it shouldve been me
With you tonight
It shouldve been me
There by your side
Seein you both is hard to believe
cause it shouldve been me
Flashin that ring in everyones face
The one I gave back last week
I wonder if youre tellin her things
You used to whisper to me
To say its over dont work anymore
cause its more than my heart wants to feel
It shouldve been me
With you tonight
It shouldve been me
There by your side
Seein you both is hard to believe
cause it shouldve been me
She looks so satisfied
So close to you that i
Cant help but wonder why
I said goodbye last night
As tears drop from my eyes

Feelin
Outta touch most of the time
Gotta lotta things on my mind
Kickin down, where to start
Its the hardest thing
Oh...
Grow it long, shave it off
Life is hard, never soft
I need a change, I need it quick
Before it makes me sick
Thats what on my mind
Pay attention, watch your back
Pay your dues, stay on track
Got no room to second-guess
Puts me under stress
Oh...
If I were you, you were me
I wonder who Id wanna be
With just one wish you cant refuse
I wouldnt know what to choose
Feelin...no, dont like what Ive been told Im feelin
Feelin what no one else will ever know Im feelin
Oh...
Now black is white and white is black
Got politicians smokin crack
And john pauls all bullet-proofed
It puts me through the roof
Yea...
I were you and you were me
I wonder who Id rather be
If I had one wish Id take it
Feelin...oh, I dont like what Ive been told Im feelin
And Im seein
What no one else will ever know Im seein
Come on, feelin
Hey, I dont understand these things Im feelin
No...
Outta touch most all the time
Too many things on my mind
Shuttin down, gotta stop this thing
Feelin...no, I dont like what Ive been told Im feelin
Im bleeding...like no one else will ever know Im bleeding
Dealin...Im dealin with these things Im feelin
Im dreamin, Im dreaming, Im dreaming things that show
Me what Im seein
Seein...Im seein things that I dont know Im feelin
Ive been feelin, Im feelin, Im feelin things that i
Dont know
I dont know, I dont know what Im feelin
Hey, I dont understand

Halfway Over The Hill
BY BARRY MANILOW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been workin' all my life
Workin' hard for all my life
Tryin' to find a reason for livin'
Tryin' not to take too much without givin'
Never saw no rainbows in my sky
But don't you see I'm
Halfway over the hill
I'm passin' over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's gotta get easier from now on
I've been runnin' all my life
Lord, I've run for all my life
Seein' joy and seein' people grievin'
Seein' towns and don't remember leavin'
Never saw no blue birds in my sky
But don't you see I'm
Halfway over the hill
I'm passin' over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's gotta get easier from now on
Oh I'm halfway over the hill
I'm passin' over the hardest part
I'm halfway over the hill
It's gotta get easier from now on

Rollin
She was born to a mother trucker
Raised behind the wheel
So you can blame it on the highway
For the way she cant sit still
She says life is like a windshield
It aint no rear view mirror
The only way to get where youre goin
Is find that higher gear
And keep it
(chorus)
Rollin
Lifes gonna run you over if you dont get goin
She said I wanna fell the earth move under me
Movin with the motion of a melody
Oh I get the blues if the rhythm aint got no soul
You got to keep it
Rollin.
Well I knew that I was in trouble
When she told me that talk was cheap
Said if youre tired get on the sofa
cause the beds no place to sleep lord it knocked me on my knees
And I knew if I was gonna get naked
I was gonna have to roll up my sleeves.
And keep it
Rollin
*chorus*
So I talked her into gettin married
But she wouldnt hang up her wheels
I was afraid Id take a back seat
To the way the highway feels
But each day shes pullin over
More than she used to
She knows love is like the highway
The main thing you gotta do
Is keep it rollin

Mirror To Mirror
Written by gerry beckley, 1994
Found on hourglass.
I havent seen forever
Dont even know her name
I call on dreams and other schemes
To try and win that game
Now that its over, darling
Look into my eyes
Seein your own reflection
Much to your surprise
Were seein mirror to mirror
Face to face
We look but we cannot see
Mirror to mirror
Seems to trace
What happened to you and me
And though we tried in earnest
The distant silence yells
We call on wings and other things
To try and break that spell
Now that its over, darling
Truth in the common cause
We stare at our own indifference
By seeing the others flaws
Were seein mirror to mirror
Face to face
We look but we cannot see
Mirror to mirror
Seems to trace
What happened to you and me
Oh, mirror to mirror, mirror to mirror
Mirror to mirror, whats come over me
As we look inside, theres nowhere to turn
Theres nowhere to hide
Now that its over, darling
Look into my eyes
Seein your own reflection
Much to your surprise
Were seein mirror to mirror
Face to face
We look but we cannot see
Mirror to mirror
Seems to trace
What happened to you and me
Oh, mirror to mirror, mirror to mirror
Mirror to mirror, whats come over me
Mirror to mirror, mirror to mirror

She Ran Away With A Rodeo Clown
(toby keith)
Shes a top barrel racer
Cowboy chaser
She drinks tecate like its goin out of style
Shes real good lookin and pretty good at hookin
Any man she wants with just a little smile
I drawed a strong one
A big full grown one
He punched me out when I hit the ground
I came to with a panoramic view
Lookin for my baby
She was nowhere around
I looked up, I looked down
I aint seen her since the second go-round
Somebody said they seen her headin out of town
Now she ran away with a rodeo clown
She ran away with a rodeo clown
Shes got twenty-two dollars
And makeup on her collar
She left some clothes so shes travelin light
But Ill bet a new saddle
And forty head of cattle
That I could catch em both if I drove all night
But this dont make sense
Shes done jumped the fence
And Im speedin cross texas on a broken heart
Im goin home where the coyote roam
Makin my camp at the end of the bar
I looked up, I looked down
I aint seen her since the second go-round
Somebody said they seen her headin out of town
Now she ran away with a rodeo clown
She ran away with a rodeo clown
I looked up, I looked down
I aint seen her since the second go-round
Somebody said they seen her headin out of town
Now she ran away with a rodeo clown
She ran away with a rodeo clown

Sobering Reflections
'Look at those two
sad drunks ol' buddy'
One of these days,
that's what we could be'
My good ol' buddy snorted stout out his nose
Said 'That's the mirror behind the bar
That you're seein' you silly poof!
You're lookin' at you and me! '

Stop Lookin Back
Stuck in the county jail,
Nobody here gonna pay my bail.
Thirty days with a smelly drunk,
A turn-key callin me a dirty punk.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin back.
And Ive got to move straight ahead, stop lookin back.
Chorus
Shoot for the stars when my eyes cant see the starlight.
Reach for the sun in the night.
Stop lookin back at the times I was defeated,
I pick myself up, I move straight ahead, I stop lookin back.
Stranded! nothing worse.
Im livin on coffee, I got an empty purse.
Im dreamin bout blue eyes lookin my way,
Hopin my dreams dont blow away.
I got to pick myself up, and stop lookin back.
And Ive got to move straight ahead, stop lookin back.

Happiness
Down at the lost highway cafe
I met a man there with a map in his hand
He said "I'm a little bit confused, and I'm not sure where I am"
He said I'm trying to find this place
Been trying to get there for a long, long time
Then he smiled and looked away,
and asked me if I'd heard of happiness
I told him that it just might take a while
Maybe some years, and a lotta miles
Go down the road to you hit partyville
Don't stop unless you're lookin' for cheap thrills
Go past love to you hear wedding bells
Stop and honeymoon, and rest a spell
You might get lost on the way is my guess
It ain't easy finding happiness
He said I think I understand
I better go before the sun goes down
Cause it's hard to see at night, and I just don't trust my eyes anymore
I said "goodluck" and watched him leave,
He hit the fastlane, then he disappeared
Just another weary traveller like so many trying to find his way back home
There's so many stops along the way
You keep on hoping that there'll come a day
I should have told him but I think he knows
So many places where he shouldn't go
So many souls that get turned around
Lookin' and wonderin' why it can't be found
It's a straight shot past loneliness
Why can't we seem to find happiness?
It's easy to get turned around I guess
On the road to happiness

Send me 2 Marbella, London, Paris 2
Send me all around the world and when I'm through

Preservation
Im preserving myself with make-up
Lookin in the mirror
Im preserving my life, I can take it
Shinin in the spotlight
Preservation, lookin in the mirror
Preservation, but they dont know that Im scrapin it all off
Every night
Im reserving my rights, reputation
Livin in a movie, its keepin me lookin right
When the secret is out to the public
Seein is believin, they still wanna be me at night
When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder
But thats alright
Preservation, lookin in the mirror
Preservation, but they dont know that Im scrapin it off
Every night
Theyre linin up to make their entrance
When the words out Im in town, theyre not nice girls
But thats alright
Theyre lookin so much better when the lights go down
But nice girls is just a frame of mind
Preservation, lookin in the mirror
Preservation, but they dont know that Im scrapin it off
Every night

Heading Out To The Highway
Hitem boys
Well Ive said it before, and Ill say it again
You get nothin for nothin, expect it when
Youre back seat drivin and your hands aint on the wheel
Its easy to go along with the crowd
And find later on that your say aint allowed
Oh thats the way to find what youve been missin
So Im heading out to the highway
I got nothin to lose at all
Im goin to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your biddin
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
Theres miles and miles to put it back together
And Im heading out to the highway
I got nothin to lose at all
Im goin to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
Makin a curve or takin the strain
On the decline, or out on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
Well put it to rights, well square up and mend
Back on your feet to take the next bend
You weather every storm thats comin at cha
And Im heading out to the highway
I got nothin to lose at all
Im goin to do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall
