The Dream
His fastball is fading, his sinker is gone,
They sent him doun to the minors cause he wore out his arm,
But his eyes shine brighter than the young kids it seems
So he keeps on playing, holding on to the dream.
Lord knows that it aint for the money
Cause hes broke almost every day,
And it aint for the fame or the glory
Guess hell do it cause he still loves to play
Guess hell do it cause he still loves to play.
Hes been in the saddle since he was a kid
The rodeo came but he keeps it well hid
And someday hell have to set his pony free
But til he does hell be riding the dream.
Lord knows that it aint for the money,
cause hes broke almost every day,
And it aint for the fame or the glory
Guess hell do it cause he still loves to play;
Guess hell do it, cause he still loves to play.
We aint getting no younger and that is the truth
But these games we keep playin, theyre our fountain of youth.
From boston to boulder and down to orleans
From highlights to lowlife and everything in between
Well I guess we could grow up and quit wearing our jeans
But we still feel like playing and living the dream.
Lord knows that it aint for the money,
cause hes broke almost every day,
And it aint for the fame or the glory
Guess hell do it cause he still loves to play;
Guess hell do it, cause he still loves to play.

Sidewalk and Streetlights
Homicide on the edge of town, and no one said it be easy
Sure has its ups and downs, and Garfield is laughing
Sitting in a dark room, making love with Sylvannia
No so called friends around, cigarettes and champagne
Gonna make me a big star, oh haven't you heard yet
Don't know how its going to go, too young to tell
And if its just my name, well hell I can change it
And if its for the fame, I guess I better grab it fast
But its just a dangerous game, that you're playing, oow
And you play it so well, so lets play it again
Sidewalks and Streetlights, sure make a pretty picture
Strangers in the night, are you going my way
You can drop me off at the corner, I can walk the rest of the way
Its not that far to the nearest star
And if its for the money, hey why can't I have it
And if its for the glory, I guess I better grab it fast
But its just a dangerous game, that you're playing, oow
And you play it so well, so lets play it again, oow
Lets play it again

He Aint With Me
Calling all these other guys
Im seeing something I didnt before
Is that a new look in your eyes
Now you dont believe that Im asking for more
I saw you walking down the street
With another girl who looks just like me
People always say we look so happy
He took my love but he didnt take me
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
You say you laughed with your old girlfriend
Youre doing nothing to encourage the end
I could be charming on long distance too
And if you want Ill make it easier for you
Communication is the key
Interrogation dont work for me
You saw that other guy smiling at me
If you were here I wouldnt act so free
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
He likes to hold my hand in public
Stranger cant you see he aint with me
He aint with me he aint with me no more
He aint with me he aint with me
Bridge
I guess fate really has my number
Every time you wander away
I reconsider all the time you said youd stay
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He aint with me no more
He likes to hold my hand in public
He aint with me he aint with me
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
He aint with me

Straight To Hell
If you can play on the fiddle
Hows about a british reel?
Speaking in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel
Water froze
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There aint no need for you
There aint no need for you
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell boys
You wanna join in a chorus
Of the amerasian blues
When its christmas in ho chi minh
Oh poppa san take me home
See me got a photograph of you mamma-san
Oh poppa san take me home
Oh take me home
Straight to hell
Go straight to hell
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell
Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
Wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Could be any hemisphere
And no mans land
And there aint no asylum here
King solomon he never lived round here
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys
Straight to hell
Straight to hell boys

Hell Aint A Bad Place To Be
Hey you -
Sometimes I think this woman is kinda hot
Sometimes I think this woman is sometimes not
Puts me down, fools me around
Whats she doing to me?
Out for satisfaction, any piece of action
That aint the way it should be
She needs love, smells out a man
Shes gotta see
Pours my beer, licks my ear
Brings out the devil in me
Hell aint a bad place to be
Spends my money, drinks my booze, stays out every night
And I got to thinking, hey, just a minute, something aint right
Disillusions and confusion
Make me want to cry
All the same, you lead your games
Tellin me your lies
Dont mind her playing a demon
As long as its with me
If this is hell then you could say
Its heavenly
Hell aint a bad place to be
Late at night turns down the lights
Closes up on me
Opens my heart, tears it apart
Brings out the devil in me
Hell aint no bad place to be

The Good Lord Loves You
Im singing this song for the men in your prisons and jails
The junkies and juicers and every good man that fails
And for every outlaw whos got no place left to go
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
And Im singing this song for the leaders of every land
For every political and every military man
And for every mother and child in their kingdoms below
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
Aint it sad that were doing so bad
Im singing this song with the feeling thats deep in my heart
And I wish I could tear down the walls that keep us apart
I wish I could tear down the walls so the feelings can grow
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord loves you
The good lord, he loves you so
Aint it sad that were doing so bad

From Here To Eternity
She fell in love with his geasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
Shed never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more more more
When she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He wispered to her to get on the back
Ill take you on a ride form here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like she on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sigh
But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devils bend
The beast and charlotte they were two of a kind
Theyd always take the line from here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell aint a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity

Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, lord,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no senators son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no,
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, dont they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no millionaires son, no.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yoh,
It aint me, it aint me, I aint no military son, son.
It aint me, it aint me; I aint no fortunate one, one.

Beauty & The Mess
Blue waters blue eyes color me
If any could come this close Id let them see
Get it out again and play em one more song
Its all they really want and whos to say thats wrong
Aint that what you want them to know?
All they get of you is what they get out of the show
The rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess
To hide
I pull myself under and down I go again
Its just a little bit hard letting them in
Looking at the world through elusive eyes
I hide in the spotlight its a great disguise
Aint that what you want them to know?
All they all they get of you is what they get out of the show
The rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess
To hide
Behind the melody the words dont mean a thing
But every tone I play would give whatever Ive not said away
Behind the melody the words dont mean a thing
But every tone I play would give whatever Ive not said away
Behind the melody the words dont mean a thing
But every tone I play would give whatever Ive not said away
Aint that what you want them to know?
All they all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the
Show
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess...
Aint that what you want them to know?

I put my ass away & music Ive played
Aint the type of stereo ure tryin to feed
Dont play me

Im in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda u prop in my way
Dont play me

Ive been to the mountain top & it aint what u say
Dont play me

Im the wrong color & I play guitar
My only competition is well in the past
Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast
Dont play me
U couldnt play enough of me now
2 make me feel like a star
Dont play me I already do in my car
Dont play me
Dont be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how u call us niggers aint the same
Its all good when u know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God & the joy u get to say his name
Dont play me
Dont play me
Ive seen to the mountain top & it aint what u say
Dont play me
Already got laid

Aint Nobody
(chaka khan)
Captured effortlesly. thats the way it was.
It happens so naturely. I did not know it was love.
The next thing I felt was you. holding me close
What was I gonna do. I let myself go.
And now we fly through the stars.
Want this night will last for ever.
Ive been waiting for you. its been so long.
I knew just what I would do when I heard your song.
I fill my heart with your kiss. it gave me freedom.
You knew I could not resist. I needed someone.
And now were flying through the stars.
I hope this night lasts for ever.
Aint nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Aint nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (than you)
I wait for nighttime to come to bring you to me.
Cant believe Im the one. I was so lonely.
I feel like noone can feel. I must be dreamin.
I want this dream to be real. Im in this feeling.
I make my whish upon a star
And hope this night will last for ever.
Aint nobody (nobody)
Loves me better (loves me better)
Makes me happy this way
Makes me feel this way (nobody)
Aint nobody (nobody baby)
Loves me better
Aint nobody
Loves me better (than you)
I wish you put your arms around me.
Yeah you put your arms around me.
I cant resist this sweet surrender.
Oh, my nights so warm and tender.
We stare into each others eyes.
And what we seek is no surprise.
Ive got a feeling most would treasure.
And our loves so deep we cannot measure.

You Aint Me
Standing in the light
Youre so self congratulatory
So I guess you have the right to be so masturbatory
And like a man with his pet
You always seem to forget that you aint me
You aint me
You aint me
No, you aint me
Did you include the question mark?
When I answered you were totally shocked
You looked at me like I was a snark while your head was extremely mentally blocked
Im the guy from wonderland
And you could never understand that you aint me
You aint me
The money has been spent
Im not saying it hasnt been earned
The customers have paid
Im just feeling kind of burned
Tell me where have you been
Oh, black-eyed mannequin

Bleeders
Once upon a time
They called me the bleeder
Well swimmin up this river
With sentimental fever
But this aint my first ride
It aint my last try
Just got to keep a-movin on
If they catch me ever
Theyll throw me back forever
Chorus:
I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
Well I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say youre only sad and lonely
And no one is impressed
I sent it off in a letter
I need somethin better
Than a nail and a hammer
To put me back together
But this aint my first ride
It aint my last try
Just got to keep a-movin on
Got to keep this together
Maybe next time is never
(chorus)
Sometimes I must confess
I do feel a little over dressed
Sometimes its hard to tell the wishing from the well
Where you threw the penny and where it fell
I guess I should I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
Well I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
I guess I should be ashamed
But I forget to be vain
Well I did the best I could I guess
But everything just bleeds
They say youre only sad and lonely
And no one is impressed

Hell Or High Water
Here I am, all alone, been two days since youve been gone

You win a few, you lose a few, but I cant help missing you
Cant sleep at night, aint feelin right, but Im gonna get to you

Come hell or high water - Im gonna love you
Come hell or high water - gonna hold you
Come hell or high water - wrap my arms around you
Come hell or high water
Now youre gone, hurt so bad, feelings I have never had
Been so long since youve been mine, now Im wound in the lost and found
And there you stand, now I know, Im never gonna let you go
Aint foolin around, no, no, gonna make every minute count
Chorus - yeah Im gonna get to you
Gonna love you, hold you, wrap my arms around you
Baby dont doubt it, aint no doubt about it

The Poor Happy Guy
you are in a situation
that is utterly uniquely yours
you love much
but no one loves you
you make all of them happy
but they only hurt you
you want true love
there is none for you
they will love you because of your money
that has always been the curse from the day you were born
you have all the luxuries, the fame, that honor, that position
you have all the money you can hold
but there is no love for you
well i guess, you must have accepted it
it is but fair: you have it all, except love
on the other hand, there is this guy who is stripped of everything
poor, uneducated, jobless, no house to live, no land to own
no money to spend
but someone loves him so truly
he is silent, but (i do not have to guess) he is absolutely happy
tonight, she is his.

Bang Bang Bang
What you go and do
You go and give the boy a gun
Now there aint place to run to
Aint no place to run to
When he hold it in his hand
He feel mighty he feel strong
Now there aint no place to run to
Aint no place to run
One day he may come back
Repay us for what weve done
Then where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run
But one fine day
All our problems will be solved
Bang bang bang
Well shoot him down
Give him drugs and give him candy
Anything to make him think hes happy
And he wont ever come for us
He wont ever come
But if he does
And if theres no one else around
Bang bang bang
Well shoot him down
If he preys only on his neighbors
Brothers sisters and friends
Well consider it a favor
Well consider justice done
But if he comes for you or me
And we can place a gun in his hand
Bang bang bang
Well shoot him dead
What you go and do
You go and give the boy a gun
Now there aint no place to run to
Aint no place to run
Now well all be at his mercy
If he decides to hunt us down
Cause there aint no place to run to
Aint no place to run
If he wants the chances that you took from him
And nothing that you own
Then therell be no place to run to
Therell be no place to run
And if he finds himself to be
A reflection of us all
Bang bang bang
Hell shoot us down
Before you can raise your eyes to read
The writing on the wall
Bang bang bang
Hell shoot you down
Before you can bridge the gulf between
And embrace him in your arms
Bang bang bang
Hell shoot you down

Tired
(toby keith/chuck cannon)
My name is jackson, I was named after my father
Followed in his footsteps, down here to this factory
I aint complainin, wouldnt waste my breath to bother
This work aint hard, its only borin as can be
Married rebecca back in seventy-seven
I still love her and I guess she loves me too
We go to church on sundays cause we want to go to heaven
Me and my family, aint that how youre supposed to do
But Im tired, lord Im tired
Life is wearin me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
Tired, lord Im tired
Ive only missed six days in nigh on twenty years o work
The money went to taxes and these bills Ive paid on time
The raise I got two months ago dont meet the cost o living
Selling my body for these nickels and these dimes
The smell of beckys coffee rolled me out of bed this morning
I showered and shaved and dressed and pulled my work boots on
Walked in the kitchen, she was starin out the window
The way she said good morning made me ask is something wrong
She said Im tired, woke up tired
Life is wearin me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
I guess you just keep goin till your gone
Tired, lord Im tired
Tired, lord Im tired

Just too much to bear
Boy my love can make you stronger

When youre followin all the rules
But life will not play fair
Come to me and well roll with the punches

My love will shine right through your rain
I will left you up, I will lift you up
By your side, by your side day and night

Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
