Let's Go
02:00
|

Hello, hello, it's so good to see you
I've been dreaming all day
Come on, come on, let's have some serious fun
Are you gonna go my way
I've got a one way ticket to the top of the pops
Gonna bop 'til we drop, do the cretin hop
Let's Go
I like the nightlife baby, out in the streets
I'm bent all out of shape
It's a Saturday night and we got the beat
You know I can't hardly wait
I've got a one way ticket to the top of the pops
Gonna bop 'til we drop, do the cretin hop
Let's Go

Knee Deep
02:58
|

Well I was looking good but feeling bad
So I went to the doctor to see what I had
He said, "Son, you got it bad
You're knee deep in love
The drugs won't help you and there ain't no cure
But there's just one thing that I know for sure
You're doomed just like the others before
You're knee deep in love
Knee deep, knee deep in love
The girl I love loves another man
And I just can't seem to make her understand
If she'd just smile and take my hand
We'd be knee deep in love
I could be her prince charming
Yeah, I could be her everything
And I'd seal it with a diamond ring
We'd be knee deep in love
Knee deep, knee deep in love
Now I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm not sure how to make my dream come true
When it comes to women I ain't got a clue
But I'm knee deep in love
So I'll keep on wishing on this star
But a pocket full of wishes don't go very far
To get her out of my dreams and into my car
I'm knee deep in love
Knee deep, knee deep in love

I Don't Wanna Know
03:58
|
|||
I don’t wanna know about your big plans
Don’t wanna hear what your sister said
Just wanna give myself the day off
Today I’m just gonna stay in bed
Don’t want the drama of the day to day
Don’t wanna try to fake a smile
I don’t need to know what’s happening downtown
The scene can live without me for a while
I don’t care what anybody needs me to be
Gonna spend some time with I, myself, and me
‘Cause I don’t wanna know...
I don’t wanna hear the headlines
I’m not gonna watch the news today
Don’t wanna hear about the news of the world
I’m just assuming everything’s okay
I don’t wanna know about the big game
Or gossip on the next celebrity
Turn off the television, pick up my guitar
Spend the day alone and free
I need to take a day off for my mental health
I’m just hanging out with I, me, and myself
‘Cause I don’t wanna know…
Hey man, I’ll call you back tomorrow
Hey babe, I’ll see you Friday night
I just need a little regeneration
Spend some time with me, myself, and I
I’ll let the world back in another day
Right now I just need you all to go away
‘Cause I don’t wanna know…

That Was Yesterday
02:54
|
|||
You made me feel like the King of America
Or maybe just the King of our home town
You would be my Queen forever
We’d take on the world together
And nothing would ever slow us down
But that was yesterday
It doesn’t seem so far away
I wish I could go back
How I wish I could go back
Wish I could live those days again
But time brings love and luck and tragedy
And life is anything but fair
And I’d give anything to see
You still standing next to me
I turn and look but you’re not there
‘Cause that was yesterday...
I still can’t believe it’s real
I still see those spinning wheels
Oh how quickly life can change…
But that was yesterday
Sometimes it seems so far away
I’m never going back
I know I can’t go back
I’m never going back again

Short Songs
01:08
|
|||
Short songs don’t get boring
Short songs get stuck in your head
From the first thing in the morning
Until you put yourself to bed
Easy to learn, easy to remember
If you wanna sing along there ain’t nothing better
Short songs, short songs
Short songs, short songs
Can’t go wrong with short songs
They don’t take much commitment
Don’t require too much thought
Short songs bring some contentment
Sometimes a little means a lot
Easy to sing, easier to play
Put on your guitar and take it away
Short songs, short songs
Short songs, short songs
Can’t go wrong with short songs

I Need You
03:00
|
|||
The angels up in Heaven
Knew what they were doin’
On the day they led me to you
We started out just talking
Now hand in hand we’re walking
Through the world just we two
I told you that I love you some years ago
I still feel the same way and that’s all you need to know
I need you to hold me in the night
I need you to be my shining light
I need you all the days of my life
I need you, you, you
Well I was such a mess
But I’m better I confess
And I owe all the changes to you
We’ve seen a lot of glad times
Had our share of bad times
And now there’s nothing we can’t make it through
I want to honor you in every way I can
So I make a vow to you to always be your man
I need you to hold me in the night
I need you to be my shining light
I need you forever as my wife
I need you, you, you
And after sixty four years have all come and gone
We’ll be holding out for more years ‘cause you’ll always be the one
I need you to hold me in the night
I need you to be my shining light
I need you all the days of my life
I need you, you, you

The Big Sad
03:47
|
|||
Sometimes you think too much
About the world in which you live
Sometimes you give too much
Until there’s nothing left to give
Sometimes you care too much
Until it all becomes a drain
Sometimes you feel too much
Until there’s nothing left but pain
And that’s when it hits you
That’s when it gets you
I will be there when the big sad closes in
When you need someone to help you smile again
I will be there, I will be there
I’ll be there for you my friend
Sometimes it’s overwhelming
This life you didn’t choose
It’s always hard to tell when
You’re the one to sing the blues
You put your best face forward
To please everybody else
But sometimes you push so hard
You forget to take care of yourself
And that’s when it hits you
That’s when it gets you
But I will be there when the big sad closes in...
And when the sun stops shining
And your blues all turn to grey
I’ll be right by your side
To get you through the day
Because I adore you
I’d do anything for you
I will be there when the big sad closes in...

My Rock and Roll
01:44
|
|||
They say that rock is dead
But I disagree
It’s alive and breathing, man
-It’s alive in me
This is my rock and roll
Don’t take away my rock and roll
Turn on the radio and you,
You won’t hear the songs
Rock’s gone back underground
It’s back where it belongs
This is my rock and roll
Don’t take away my rock and roll
I’ve got my guitar
Still got my voice
I still play rock and roll
I’ve got no choice
This is my rock and roll
Don’t take away my rock and roll
My rock and roll
My rock and roll
My rock and roll

Face to Face
02:44
|
|||
I’m simply amazed by everything that you do
You blow me away by just being you
I guess I would say I’m captivated by you
And you don’t seem to know what you put me through
Now I wanna be a good boy, don’t wanna be bad
But I can’t get enough of you, y’know you’re driving me mad
And you don’t realize how you throw me off my pace
So I’m gonna have to tell you face to face
The time to tell you is now ‘cause push is coming to shove
Who knew this jaded heart could be so full of love?
I know it sounds cliché, but uh, did you fall from above?
Because you are the only one that I’ve been dreaming of
Now I wanna be a good boy, don’t wanna be bad
But I can’t get enough of you, y’knoe you’re driving me mad
You might say I’m obsessed, but that’s not quite the case
I just think you’re the best and I want to tell you face to face
Face to face
Now I wanna be a good boy, don’t wanna be bad
But I can’t get enough of you, y’know you’re driving me mad
Every time I try to talk to you I feel so out of place
Looks like I’ll never get to tell you face to face
Face to face, face to face
I’ll never get to tell you face to face

Better Days
03:03
|
|||
I live in a city
With a color divide
I’m here in the middle
Never thought about choosing sides
But the anger and frustration’s
Grown from a whisper to a shout
Now they show us on the TV
Trying to put the fires out
I’m holding on for better days
I’m holding out for better days
I’ll get down on my knees and pray
Somehow we all find better days
In the cities and the capitals
The flags are coming down
But all the while churches
Are still burning to the ground
We all have our differences
And that should be celebrated
But why are these the very things
That make some of us hated?
I’m holding on for better days...
Some don’t trust the police
Some don’t trust in wealth
Some don’t trust the government
And some don’t trust themselves
But if it’s up to you and me
To be the change we want to see
Let’s start a love revolution
Come on along with me
I’m holding on for better days…

Dare to Dream
02:24
|
|||
They say that the future
Is shaped by the dreamers
It’s built by the doers
And made by the thinkers
And every movement
Starts with just one
Who’s reaching for the sun
A spark before the work’s begun
So dare to dream, dare to love
Listen to your call from above
And take on any consequence it brings
Dare to climb, dare to fly
Dare to look fate in the eye
Dare to take a ride on Holy wings
Dare to dream
Don’t let anybody
Take you from the fight
Just do what is right
Keep on looking for the light
You can bring hope
To the human race
Make the world a beautiful place
Just gotta keep on running the right race
And dare to dream, dare to love
Listen to your call from above
And take on any consequence it brings
Dare to climb, dare to fly
Dare to look fate in the eye
Dare to take a flight on Holy wings
Just dare to dream
