You're Gonna Fall Down
03:47
|
|||
VERSE 1:
You're gonna fall down the first time you stand
Your hearts going to break when you trust a man
Just because it failed doesn't mean you're a failure
Never underestimate the weaker pup
There's something to be said for not giving up
You never know what chances are ahead on this adventure
CHORUS:
Don't give up just get good at failing
Failings live another day to try and get it done
Break a few bone sand bloody up a nose
Not every battle's meant to be one
And not every battle's gonna be won
VERSE 2:
Life it just might make you sweat the small stuff
Make you feel bad when the going gets rough
Just know we all have those days when we feel defeated
You don't need a medal to make you feel pride
Sometimes you win sometimes you tried
Sometimes there might even be a next time if you want it
CHORUS:
Don't give up just get good at failing
Failings live another day to try and get it done
Break a few bone sand bloody up a nose
Not every battle's meant to be one
And not every battle's gonna be won
BRIDGE:
the fire burns you will learn
touch your skin to know its hot
leaves a mark a well earned scar
could be dead but now youre not
try again jump back in
look on back and know you fought
best lessons learned are through failing
CHORUS:
Don't give up just get good at failing
Failings live another day to try and get it done
Break a few bone sand bloody up a nose
Not every battle's meant to be one
And not every battle's gonna be won

Cup of Cold Water

VERSE I
How am I to take a child
protect her in a world gone wild
I hope I have it in me
Don't know how to explain things
Like Daddy why are some kids hungry
And others they want to hurt me
I feel the tears already
god will put there to save me
CHANNEL
You see that's love pouring out
The passion fills the hungry mouth
Let it all out, Let it all out
It's the only way to save each other
CHORUS
Give the world a big cup of cold water
Fighting won't make us love each other
Everything is heating up
Time for us to cool it down
Give the world a big ol cup of cold water
Give the world a big old cup of cold water
VERSE II
We all have different missions
See through different visions
Not one of us the same
But bloods what fuels our viens
Without a heart were lifeless
And to each other useless
Better use it while you got one
know you're down here for a reason
Now I don't say this to get you down
It's cause we need to pledge a vow
To just smile at each other
Make an enemy a brother
CHANNEL
life is always counting down
Your time for passions running out
Let it all out, let it all out
It's the only way to save each other
CHORUS
Give the world a big cup of cold water
Fighting won't make us love each other
Everything is heating up
Time for us to cool it down
Give the world a big ol cup of cold water
OUTRO
Mothers and Fathers
Brothers and Daughters
We can pick it up now
Even though we have faltered
i dont think the world
can take it very much longer
We got to give the world a big old cup of cold water
Give the world a big old cup of cold water
Give the world a big old cup of cold water

Johnny O
04:38
|

Verse:
Let me tell ya story bout a man on the run
no he wasn't hiding from whatchya thinking of
It wasn't the law wasn't even a gun
No Johnny o running from the woman he loved
No Johnny o running from the woman he loved
Now Johnny was honest as Johnny could be
Never cheated at poker shared his whiskey
always been in love with the girl down the street
Never had the nerve to make it more than a fling
Never had the nerve to make it more than a fling
CHORUS
The problem was she gave her hand
It now belonged to a mean rich man
Every now and then she'd come again
Trying to get Johnny O to share his bed
If he sticks around his heart will put him in the ground
Better take his heart to where it won't be found
Be the last man standing to do the right thing
Johnny O running from the girl with a wedding ring
VERSE II
Too many time he could've gotten away
cheatin' with the woman who couldn't stay
The money was good and her bruises went away
John couldn't afford no wedding day
John couldn't afford no wedding day
Sneaking and running and hiding a round
Was not the kind of thing you could do in this town
Try to hide a secret but it's gonna be found
And that kinda loving just ain't allowed
No that kinda loving ain't never allowed
CHORUS
The problem was she gave her hand
It now belonged to a mean rich man
Every now and then she'd come again
Trying to get Johnny O to share his bed
If he sticks around his heart will put him in the ground
Better take his heart to where it won't be found
Be the last man standing to do the right thing
Johnny O running from the girl with a wedding ring
OUTRO CHORUS
Johnny Had all that Johnny could stand
He hopped that train to a western land
the beaten rich girl came round again
found no Johnny O and an empty bed
She stuck around her hubby put her in the ground
Yeah, her beatin cheatin mean old man was promptly shot down
now the last man standing to do the right thing
Was Johnny O running from the girl with a wedding ring

Dirt
05:47
|
|||
CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt
VERSE I
There's stories in the bible I like
But I aint no quoter
I agree we all came from the same
mother and father my brother
I believe if you wanna go to
worship or play the guitar
or work that dirt out in the yard
You gotta feel it child Say amen
Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling
CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt
VERSE II
Flirtin with the devil ever since I was a youngin
I can feel a compass inside that pulls in
the other direction
Angels play harps and I play guitar
Even the best have lust in there hearts
Feel it child Say amen
Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling
CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt
VERSE III
Most of the ones I believe in have shortcomings
I have seen the holiest of folks tear down
there honest buddies
We all done things that could send us to hell
You gotta cherish that dirt right under your nails
Forgiven child say amen
Holy day ain't Sunday it's a feeling
CHORUS
Daddy was made outa dirt
VERSE IV
One thing scares me more than all those stories
human beings
bringing about the hateful self fullfilled prophecies
It's one thing if God came down
Now we got bombs to bring him around
Duck down child, say amen
holy day is scary it's a killing

No Apology
03:50
|
|||
VERSE I
Tried to meditate today
Yoga didn't feel the same
So I closed eyes to pray
Crying was the only way
Tears they came real quick
Heard you say get over it
Said that you had been quite sick
That you're tired of all this shit
CHORUS
No apology necessary
Tired of hearing the word sorry
Cause I'm not
No I'm not
Hard to be sorry when you get what ask for
VERSE II
Yesterday thought of calling you
Played some tunes I know you knew
Wish that we could talk real soon
At least you said I love you too
I could sit and think about
The way we yelled and fought out loud
Seems to be an easy out
Instead I'll reach for happy sounds
CHORUS
No apology necessary
Tired of hearing the word sorry
Cause I'm not
No I'm not
Hard to be sorry when you get what ask for
VERSE III
Tomorrow my soul will feel a new
And everyday ill think of you
Teach my kids what I went though
Show em pictures of things we used to do
Grandma ain't sure if you made it home
Her evidence leads to a place below
I don't believe in a heavenly host
That puts us down cause we just don't know
CHORUS
No apology necessary
Tired of hearing the word sorry
Cause I'm not
No I'm not
Hard to be sorry when you get what ask for

Life Gets Good
03:30
|
|||
VERSE I
Dad would wake up
Get dressed for school
Make all the children follow the rules
Taught all the class
About scales notes and tones
Remembers the days when he sat on a throne
When everyone liked him
He knew how to drink wine
He's the one who bought it
Most of the time
Then he lost it all
And the wine got all clear
Took the happy couldn't take the sad
Killed by the things he couldn't have
CHORUS
Life gets good
Life gets tough
It'll let you know when
you've had enough
It's going to hurt
Get over it
Make love now
While you exist
Make love now
While you exist
VERSE II
Mom sat me down
When I was young
Said don't be an artist
And don't hold a gun
One kills your sanity
The other kills men
Both starve a family
When you lie dead
But I'll reach my hand in
And feel how it burns
The Indian chief knew
That's how his son learns
But some pains in life
I know to avoid
Best teacher I ever had
Taught what not to do by my dad
CHORUS
Life gets good
Life gets tough
It'll let you know when
you've had enough
It's going to hurt
Get over it
Make love now
While you exist
Make love now
While you exist
BRIDGE
Words dad never said out loud
Probably figured I'd figure it out
CHORUS
Life gets good
Life gets tough
It'll let you know when
you've had enough
It's going to hurt
Get over it
Make love now
While you exist
Make love now
While you exist
CHORUS OUTRO
Life gets good
Life gets tough
It'll let you know the day
you've had enough
It's going to hurt
Get over it
Make love now
While you exist
Make love now
While you exist

Wish and a Prayer
03:10
|
|||
VERSE 1
So what's the difference
Between a wish and a prayer
One is just hoping
That someone is up there
So whether it's a star
Or God up above
Just ask with all your heart
When you're looking up
Just ask with all your heart
When you're looking up
CHORUS
Your face it belongs in the stars
There is this perfect spot
Right between Venus and Mars
Guide all your wishes and dreams
Prayers for people your magical things
Aim no lower than the stars
Aim no lower than the stars
VERSE 2
Some follow the rainbow
For a big ol' pot of gold
Others rely on Karma
To come back three fold
That first lucky penny
You toss in a well
Adds to your passion
That helps you live well
Adds to your passion
That helps you live well
CHORUS
Your face it belongs in the stars
There's this perfect spot
Right between Venus and Mars
Guide all your wishes and dreams
Prayers for people your magical things
Aim no lower than the stars
Aim no lower than the stars
BRIDGE
You can dream in so many ways
You can pray to so many names
All I ask for today
Is you let your heart guide the way
CHORUS
Your face it belongs in the stars
There is this perfect spot
Right between Venus and Mars
Guide all your wishes and dreams
Prayers for people your magical things
Aim no lower than the stars
Aim no lower than the stars

Hot Legs
04:16
|
|||
VERSE I
I wish I could say it was love at first sight
But we both know I didn't even look twice
You behind the bar me up on the stage
You were outa my league I say to this day
And in my defense
It's the way we became friends
My prude heart and your hot legs
Slept on separate couches when I stayed the night
I know it's typically the girl who locks it up tight
But you kept fighting for that very first kiss
Now my favorite flavor are those two lips
You were a beautiful fear
You convinced me to be my dear
My best kiss and your hot legs
CHORUS
This may be just all my opinion
But you see I'm so damn smitten
Prettiest legs I've ever seen
Connect to hips my hands rest best on
Lay my head on the greatest pillows
I've seen those things that no one else knows
Prettiest face i ever did see
And that opinion is just for me
VERSE II
Now I'm one of them struggling artist types
Your Father must have warned you about a hundred times
He said marry that lawyer or an architect
They will build you a castle hang jewels round your neck
But in my defense
This case will never rest
My love songs are better then their big checks
I'll sing about how those beautiful lips
Make all the difference in a world like this
They keep out the bad and tempting voices
That make dirty boys out of honest men
Ain't got a second guess
That you are the very best
Now come on give me a kiss and those hot legs
CHORUS
This may be just all my opinion
But you see I'm so damn smitten
Prettiest legs I've ever seen
Connect to hips my hands rest best on
Lay my head on the greatest pillows
I've seen those things that no one else knows
Prettiest face i ever did see
And that opinion is just for me
BRIDGE
There might be a blog or magazine
That might have different opinions than me
Ain't nothing they can say to make me change
They've never been wrapped in those hot legs
CHORUS
This may be just all my opinion
But you see I'm so damn smitten
Prettiest legs I've ever seen
Connect to hips my hands rest best on
Lay my head on those great big pillows
I've seen those things that no one else knows
Prettiest face i ever did see
Hottest legs I ever did feel
prettiest face and those hot legs
Nothing you can say can make me change
Cause this made mans opinions been made
And that opinion is just for me

Let Me Be Still
05:12
|
|||
VERSE I
Walked into the Louvé and caught Venus there naked
And all I said so where’s the rest
I’m oh so damn lucky live beyond satisfactory
Why do I act unimpressed
I lay in my room right next to an angel
I want more proof than her wings
With virtue and vice, advice might be helpful
To help me enjoy everything
CHANNEL
For I fear If I don’t
I’ll miss more than most. .
CHORUS
Let me be still
Like a calm water
Let me be still
Like Job’s will, I’ll try every test
And if then she will
Let me have her satisfied
A ring that will seal
And I won’t let no soul untie what we have No soul
no not even I
VERSE II
Brought you home flowers to be oh so charming
I clean up you put on a dress
You may just be blushing, but all my blood’s rushing
I’m too busy thinking ahead
The smell of the roses, the joy of the moment
I know I will miss or won’t find
I’ll scream for attention, yell that I’m thirsty
Though the well is anything but dry
CHANNEL
For I fear If I don’t
I’ll miss you the most .
CHORUS
Let me be still
Like a calm water
Let me be still
Like Job’s will, I’ll try every test
And if then she will
Let me have her satisfied
A ring that will seal
And I won’t let no soul untie what we have No soul
no not even I
BRIDGE
I wouldn’t be this far without you
Please God don’t take me far from her.
CHORUS
Let me be still
Like a calm water
Let me be still
Like Job’s will, I’ll try every test
And if then she will
Let me have her satisfied
A ring that will seal
And I won’t let no soul untie what we have No soul
no not even I

Come Around
04:24
|
|||
VERSE I
As I walked and stared thru a young child's eyes
I dreamed to grow like you so strong and wise
An all too perfect version of what reality
Seemed to be to the age of three
You looked to me to grow as I should
There were too many times we misunderstood
An anger had said that the hero had died
Too many tears I never saw you cry
PRE-CHORUS
I know now there where too many times
When I closed you off as you summoned lines
You said itís alright said someday youíll see
The person you saw you someday will be
CHORUS
You do what you can
You canít always save the world
You do what you can
And youíll never let me down
We make our mistakes
In the end we will all come around
VERSE II
Growing older seems to me
I fall into your world you said would be
And realize the reasons of what you had said
I never understood way on back when
Now there are times when you might say
Please forgive me son I made a mistake
I never meant to hurt you with what I did
I know how you must be disappointed
PRE-CHORUS
I know now there where so many times
When I cut you off as you summoned lines
You said itís alright and now I can see
The person I saw I know I will be
CHORUS
You do what you can
You canít always save the world
You do what you can
And youíll never let me down
We make our mistakes
In the end we will all come around
BRIDGE
From dragon scales to fairytales
Journeys set on billowed sales
From crying eyes on dateless nights
Growing pains you couldnít fight
Youíd been there before a child you had been
You had grown up but thru me once again
CHORUS
You do what you can
You canít always save the world
You do what you can
And youíll never let me down
We make our mistakes
In the end we will all come around
