May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends.

Welcome Home Soldier
Coming home, so many beside me
But so alone
So many friends that helped to guide me
Now on my own
The soldier I chose to be
To fight for the free
The price to pay, I know today
Lives on in me
Many friends from my small town
They gather, they surround
They welcome me back home
But part of me is not around
Part of me is hearing heart beats
Of friends that fought with me
I watched them fall for freedoms call
They haunt me all
Coming home, friends reach out to me
They welcome me home
Surrounded by so many, but none to guide me
So alone.

Why Do I
Why does my heart feel so down
when my friends are not around?
Why do I feel the world has gone
when I feel weak instead of strong?
They say if we hold our friends close to our heart
they will never stray away,
so why is it I feel so lonely today.
My eyes get very cloudy
with tears I want to cry.
My heart feels so heavy
as if part of it has to die.
Why do I feel so alone
like a small child lost from home?
Why do I feel so sad
when I know I am not alone?

Bigot Sunshine
Big wings
And small waters
Carry me back home
Small minds
Stand protected under bigot sunshine
I'm not alone
But I'm far from home
You can never go home again
You can never go home again
Main street
Standing naked on the Fourth of July
Down stream
All the maniacs on my face they spy
I'm not alone
But I'm far from home
You can never go home again
You can never go home again
You can never act the way that you did back then
I'm not alone
But I'm far from home
You can never go home again
You can never go home again
You can never act the way that you did back then
You can never act the way that you did back then
When you were just a little boy

Don't Leave Home
Like a ghost dont need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
And If you're lost just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, like a child
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
And If you're lost just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
And If you're lost just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Cause I will be your safety
I will be your safety
I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a 'phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end
It's so easy now, 'cos you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cos right till the end - friends will be friends

Small Town
Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Probly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic thats me
But Ive seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now shes small town just like me
No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look whos in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and thats good enough for me
Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And thats probly where theyll bury me

Look At Me
I know a place where we can talk
A precious smile poor little girl so pale and proud
Hold me
Control me
So proud
Youre on the town youre on your own
Dont walk away dont pass me by and run for home
Hold me
Control me
Dont run for home
I followed you I tracked you down
And now its time to go underground
Ive never been alone with you
So hold my hand and lead me through
If you say Ill make room for you
If you do exactly what I tell you to
The saddest face the perfect thing
Its time to face whats happening
Now that youre here
Theres nothing to fear
Just look at me
Look at me
Theres something I cannot resist
Let me tell you what it is
Its when you walk away from me
I promise not to set you free
Dont try to run Im everywhere
If you escape then Ill be there
I know a place where we can talk
Ill walk with you, dont hide away
And leave me here alone
Not here alone
Alone with you
I think you always knew
Just look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Youre on the town youre not alone
I cant give up poor little girl so sweet and small
So sweet and small
Hold me
Control me
Please
Hold me
Control me
Look at me
Look at me

You told me
"i would like to be with you"
now youre gone
and everythings so strange and new
I love my friends
and you know i miss them so
i miss my friends children
and i miss watching them grow
Take me back to the place

Hold On To Your Friends
A bond of trust
Has been abused
Something of value
May be lost
Give up your job
Squander your cash - be rash
Just hold on to your friends
There are more than enough
To fight and oppose
Why waste good time
Fighting the people you like
Who will fall defending your name
Oh, dont feel so ashamed
To have friends
But now you only call me
When youre feeling depressed
When you feel happy im
So far from your mind
My patience is stretched
My loyalty vexed
Oh, youre losing all of your friends
Hold on to your friends
Hold on to your friends
Resist - or move on
Be mad, be rash
Smoke and explode
Sell all of your clothes
Just bear in mind :
Oh, there just might come a time
When you need some friends

Dont Hold Your Breath
One day Ill get home before the sun hits the blinds
And give you - Ill give you something to remember me by
Thats the way I am
Its what I got in mind but I dont know if I can
You gotta shoot your gun - dont expect me to dance
Hold me up to the spotlight but
Dont, dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
These empty pockets are my deepest friends
Full of nothing but good intentions
Thats the way it is
It may not be much but I can blow you a kiss
Ive been wrong - Ive been wrong once before
Ill be all right tomorrow but
Dont, dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
I may be lazy or a living wreck
I wont be swayed by your expectations
Thats the way it is
It may not be much but you know what to kiss
Ive been wrong - Ive been wrong once before
Ill be all right tomorrow but
Dont, dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath
Dont hold your breath

A Room For Everything
Oooooh...
You were looking away from me
Western skies calling you
Colors spilling, running, dazzling you
I was looking the other way
Voices call from the east
I saw my roots of the trees there, planted at my feet
It could be Im searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve
But how can we wait?
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
Suppose I was the clever one
And words came easy to me
I could say I was writing a song
About you, you and me
Maybe that verse is yet to be found
But waits inside of me
A secret room, a tangled web
To unweave
It could be Im searching
For a place so small
With room for everything
Where worlds on worlds revolve
But how can we wait
Knowing our way
How can we hold on
Still, you know its not too late
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back
I wouldnt hold you
No, I wouldnt hold you
I wouldnt hold you back

Hold Me
I am terrified of all things.
Frightened of the dark.
I am.
You are taller than a mountain.
Deeper than the sea.
You are.
Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely.
I was closer to you back then.
I was happier.
I was.
You are fading further from me.
Why don't you come home to me?
Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely.
I am...
I am...
Cold.
Hold Me.

Hold me.
Hold me.
Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely.
Hold me.

Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely.
Hold me.

Without You Here
the storm is back tonight
so how could i
awake without you here
your pictures on the wall you haven't called
but i'll wait for you
to her only friends who say things
i will hold on
to her only friends who say things
i will be strong
the storm is letting up
but it wont die
if you weren't wrong was i
you picture still remians
but i wonder
are you still the same
to her only friends who say things
i will hold on
to her only friends who say things
i will be strong
am i loosing you
am i loosing you
i'm waiting
i've waited till it's over
it's over now
i'm waiting
i've waited till it's over
it's over now (i will hold on)
i'm waiting
i've waited till it's over
it's over now (i will remain)
to her only friends who say things
i will hold on
to her only friends who say things
i will be strong
to her only friends who say things (i'm waiting i've waited till it's over now)

This Love Is A Flower I Can't Keep
walking through the neighborhood with you,
It was yesterday and I was a small child;
I didn't like your crew-cut hairstyle
and hoped my friends didn't see you;
Now, you lie in a hospital bed
and only want to go home to die;
we have long since become friends
and you are the child.
How to protect what is left of you?

Have You Seen My Baby?
Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know shes driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Ridin down the street
When youre through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know its been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
I seen her with the gipsies
Dancin in the wood
Shes always been unfaithful to me
She aint never been no good
I say, please dont talk to strangers, baby
But she always do
She say, Ill talk to strangers if I want to
cause Im a stranger, too
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know its been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

When Love Gets a Hold of You - Reba McEntire
vs.1 It's all around you now, but you don't know it.
It's tugging at your heart, but you don't show it.
It's just a matter of time,
It's gonna hit you right between the eyes.
(chorus)
You'll wake up in the middle of the night,
I'll be the only thing on your mind,
Won't be able to shake it loose,
When love gets a hold of you.
Before you have your first cup of coffee,
You're gonna pick up the phone and call me,
Won't believe what you say and do,
When love gets a hold of you.
vs.2 'Cause it's gonna be written all over your face,
All your friends gonna tell you how much you've changed.
Feeling things that you can't deny,
Going crazy and you don't know why.
(chorus)
Bridge: It gets a hold of you,
It's just a matter of time,
It's gonna hit you right between the eyes.
(chorus 2)
You're driving home at the end of the day,
You'll find yourself coming by my place,
Yeah, you always have a good excuse,
When love gets a hold of you.
Once you're standing inside my door,
Won't remember what you came here for,
Can't control what you say and do,
When love gets a hold of you.
Yeah, gets a hold of you.
Gets a hold of you.
Gets a hold of you.
Oh, it gets a hold of you.
