Bed Of Roses
Sitting here
wasted and wounded
At this
old piano
Trying hard to
capture the moment
This morning
I don't know
'Cause a bottle of
vodka is
Still lodged
in my head
And some blond
gave me nightmares
I think
she's still in my bed
As I dream about
movies
They won't make of me
when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist
I wake up and
French kiss
the morning
While some
marching band
Keeps its own beat
in my head
While we're
talking
About
all of the things
That I long to
believe
About love
and the truth
And
what you mean to me
And the
truth is
Baby you're
all that I need
I want to lay you down
on the bed of roses
For tonight I sleep
on bed of nails
I want to be
just as close as
The holy
ghost is
And lay you down
on bed of roses
Well I'm
so far away
That each step that I
take is my way home
A king's ransom
in dimes
I'd given
each night
See through
this payphone
Still
I run out of time
Or it's hard to
get through
Till the bird
on the wire
Flies me
back to you
I'll just close
my eyes and whisper
Baby
blind love is true
I want to lay you down
on the bed of roses
For tonight I sleep
on bed of nails
I want to be
just as close as
The holy
ghost is
And lay you down
on bed of roses
The hotel bar's
hangover
Whiskey's
gone dry
The barkeeper's
wig's crooked
And she's
giving me the eye
I might have said
yeah
But I laughed so hard
I think I died
I want to lay you down
on the bed of roses
For tonight I sleep
on bed of nails
I want to be
just as close as
The holy
ghost is
And lay you down
on bed of roses

Everyday

I used to be
the kind of guy
Who'd never let you
look inside
I'd smile
when I was crying
I nothing but
a lot to lose
Thought I had a lot
to prove
In my life
there's no denying
Goodbye to
all my yesterdays
Goodbye so long
I'm on my way
I had enough of
crying bleeding
Sweating dying
hear me
When I say gonna live
my life everyday
I'm gonna touch
the sky
I spread these wings
and fly
I ain't here
to play
Gonna live my life
everyday
Change everybody's
feelin' strange
Never gonna be the
same makes you wonder
How the world
keeps turning life
Learning how to live
my life
Learning how to
pick my fights
Take my shots while
I'm still burning
Goodbye to
all those rainy nights
Goodbye so long
I'm moving on
I've had enough of
crying bleeding
Sweating dying
hear me
When I say gonna live
my life everyday
I'm gonna
touch the sky
I spread these wings
and fly
I ain't here
to play
Gonna live my life
everyday
(Hit the gas
take the wheel
I just made myself
a deal there ain't
Nothing gonna get
in my way) everyday-

Goodbye so long
I'm moving on
I've had enough of
crying bleeding
Sweating dying
hear me
When I say gonna live
my life everyday
I'm gonna
touch the sky
I spread these wings
and fly
I ain't here
to play
Gonna live my life
everyday I oh I oh I
I'm gonna live my life
everyday I oh I oh I
I'm gonna live my life
everyday-

It's My Life

This ain't a song
For the broken-hearted
No silent prayer
For the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be
just a face
In the crowd
you're gonna hear
My voice when
I shout it out loud
It's my life
it's now or never
I ain't gonna live
forever
I just wanna live
while I'm alive
(It's my life)
my heart is
Like an open highway
like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live
While I'm alive
it's my life
This is for the ones
Who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina
who never backed down
Tomorrow's
getting harder
Make no mistake
luck ain't even lucky
Got to make
your own breaks
It's my life
and it's now or never
I ain't gonna live
forever
I just wanna live
while I'm alive
(It's my life)
my heart is
Like an open highway
like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live
While I'm alive
it's my life-

Better stand tall
when they're calling
You out don't bend
don't break baby
Don't back down
it's my life and
It's now or never
'cause I ain't gonna
Live forever
I just wanna live
While I'm alive
(it's my life)
My heart is
like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live
while I'm alive
(It's my life)
and it's now or never
I ain't gonna live
forever
I just wanna live
while I'm alive
(It's my life)
my heart is
Like an open highway
like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live
While I'm alive
it's my life-

Just Older

Hey man
it's been a while
Do you
remember me?
When I hit the
streets I was 17
A little wild
a little green
Been up and down
and in between
After all these years
miles and memories
I'm still
chasing dreams
But I ain't looking
over my shoulder
I like the bed
I'm sleeping in
And just like me
it's broken in
It's not old
just older
Like a favorite pair
of torn blue jeans
The skin I'm in
it's alright with me
It's not old
just older
It's good to see
your face
You ain't no worse
for wear
Breathing that
californian air
When we took
on the world
We were young
and brave
We got secrets that
well take to the grave
Standing here shoulder
to shoulder
I like the bed
I'm sleeping in
And just like me
it's broken in
It's not old
just older
Like a favorite pair
of torn blue jeans
The skin I'm in
it's alright with me
It's not old
just older
I'm not old enough
to sing the blues
But
I wore the holes
In the soles
of these shoes
You can
roll the dice
'Til they
call your bluff
But
you can't win
Until you're not
afraid to loose yeah

When I look
in the mirror
I don't hate
what I see
There's a few
more lines
Staring back at me
now the night
Has grown a little
bit colder
Hey man I gotta run
now you take care
If you see
coach T
Tell him I've
cut my hair
But I keep
my faith
I still believe
I'm just ha!
I like the bed
I'm sleeping in
And just like me
it's broken in
It's not old
just older
Like a favorite pair
of torn blue jeans
The skin I'm in
it's alright with me
It's not old
just older ah ah yeah
It's not old
just

Never Say Goodbye

As I sit in this
smokey room
The night
about to end
I pass my time
with strangers
But this bottle's
my only friend
Remember when
we used to park
On Butler Street
out in the dark
Remember when
we lost the keys
And you lost
more than
That in my backseat
baby
Remember when
we used to talk
About busting out
we'd break
Their hearts
together
Forever
never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
you and me and
My old friends
hoping it would
Never end say goodbye
never say goodbye
Holdin' on
we got to try
Holdin' on to
never say goodbye-

Remember days of
skipping school
Racing cars and
being cool
With a six pack
and the radio
We didn't need
no place to go
Remember at the prom
that night
You and me
we had a fight
But the band
they played
Our favorite song
and I held you
In my arms so strong
we danced so close
We danced so slow
and I swore
I'd never let you go
together
Forever
never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
you and me and
My old friends
hoping it would
Never end say goodbye
never say goodbye
Holdin' on
we got to try
Holdin' on to
never say goodbye-

Uh- I guess you'd say
we used to talk
About busting out
we'd break
Their hearts
together
Forever
never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
you and me and
My old friends
hoping it would
Never end say goodbye
never say goodbye
Holdin' on
we got to try
Holdin' on to
never say goodbye-

One Wild Night

It's
a hot night
The natives
are restless
We're sweating by
the light of the moon
There's a voodoo mojo
brewing at the go go
That could knock
a witch off her broom
We slither on in
and shed our skin
Make our way into
the bump and the grind
So I'm passing by
she gives me the eye
So I stop
to give her a light
(One wild night)
blinded
By the moonlight
(one wild night)
24hours of midnight
(one wild night)
I stepped into
the twilight zone
And she left my heart
with vertigo
One wild
one wild night
Havin' as
much fun
As you can
in your clothes
Margarita had me
feelin' alright
It just might be
that I found religion
I've been on my knees
for half of the night
I'm rolling the bones
with Jimmy no dice
Gonna take him for
a couple week's pay
Man if you lose
this roll
I take your girlfriend
home when her a light
(One wild night)
blinded
By the moonlight
(one wild night)
24hours of midnight
(one wild night)
I stepped into
the twilight zone
And she left my heart
with vertigo
(One wild night)
hey c'est la vie
(One wild night)
welcome to the party
(One wild night)
life is for the living
So you gotta
live it up
Come on let's go
one wild one wild
One wild
one wild night-

Na na na na na
na na na na na
Na na na na na
na na na na na
Na na na na na

(One wild night)
blinded
By the moonlight
(one wild night)
24hours of midnight
(one wild night)
I stepped into
the twilight zone
And she left my heart
with vertigo
(One wild night)
hey c'est la vie
(One wild night)
welcome to the party
(One wild night)

So you gotta
live it up
Come on let's go

(One wild night) la la

La oh one wild night
(one wild night)
Blinded
by the moonlight
(One wild night)
24hours of midnight
(One wild night)
I stepped
Into the twilight zone
one wild one wild
One wild
one wild night-

Runaway

On the street
where you live girls
Talk about
their social lives
They're made of
lipstick plastic
And paint a touch of
sable in your eyes
All your life
all your life
All you've asked
when's your Daddy
Gonna talk to you
you were living
In another world
trying to get
Your message through
no one heard
A single word
you said
They should've seen it
in your eyes
What was going
around your heart
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Daddy's girl
learned fast
All those things
he couldn't say
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Different line
every night
Guaranteed to blow
your mind
I see you out
on the streets
Call me for
a wild time
So you sit home alone
'cause there's
Nothing left
that you can do
There's only pictures
hung in the shadows
Left there to
look at you
You know she likes
the lights at night
On the neon
broadway sings
She don't
really mind
It's only love
she hoped to find
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Daddy's girl
learned fast
All those things
he couldn't say
Ooh she's
a little run- away-

No one heard a single
word she said
They should've
seen it in your eyes
What was going
around your heart
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Daddy's girl
learned fast all
Those things
he couldn't say
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Daddy's girl
learned fast
Now she works
the night away
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Daddy's girl
learned fast
All those things
he couldn't say
Ooh she's
a little runaway
Daddy's girl
learned fast
Now she works
the night away-

Wanted Dead or Alive

It's all the same
only the means
Will change---
everyday it seems
We're wasting away--
another place
Where the faces
are so cold
I'd drive all night--
just to get back home
I'm a cowboy
on a steel
Horse I ride
I'm wanted
Dead or alive
oh wanted
Dead or alive-
sometimes I sleep
Sometimes
it's not for days--
And people I meet
always
Go their
separate ways-
Sometimes
you tell the day--
By the bottle that
you drink and times
When you're all alone
all you do is think
I'm a cowboy
on a steel horse
I ride I'm wanted
dead or alive wanted
Dead or alive-
or alive--

I'm a cowboy
on a steel horse
I- ride I'm wanted---
dead or alive
I walk these streets
a loaded six string
On my back
I play for keeps
'Cause I might
not make it back--
I been
everywhere-
Still
I'm standing tall-
I've seen
a million faces
And I've rocked
them all
I'm a cowboy
on a steel horse
I ride I wanted
dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy
I got the night
On my side-
I'm wanted
Dead or alive
or alive--
Dead or alive
dead or alive
Dead or alive
dead or alive
Dead or alive
dead or alive-

What About Now
You wanna start a fire
it only takes a spark
You gotta
get behind the wheel
If you're ever gonna
drive that car
If you wanna
take a bite
You'd better
have the teeth
If you wanna
take that step
Then get up
off of your knees
'Cause tonight
we're alive
Who'll stand for the
restless
And the
lonely
For the desperate
and the hungry
Time for the count
I'm hearing you now
For the faithful
the believer
For the faithless
and the teacher
Stand up and be proud
what about now?
You wanna
start a fight
You gotta
take a swing
You gotta get your
hands in the dirt
To see what the
harvest will bring
You wanna
raise your voice
Don't be scared
to breathe
Don't be afraid
to hurt
Don't be ashamed
in need
'Cause tonight
we're alive
Who'll stand for the
restless
And the
lonely
For the desperate
and the hungry
Time for the count
I'm hearing you now
For the faithful
the believer
For the faithless
and the teacher
Stand up and be proud
what about now?
The leaves fall
like reasons
That drift
through the seasons
'Til dreams aren't
just fade
Dark and grey
and all of your plans
That slip right
through your hands
Are just things
that you
Take to your grave
tonight we're alive
Who'll stand for the
restless
For the
lonely
For the desperate
and the hungry
Time for the count
I'm hearing you now
For the faithful
the believer
For the faithless
and the teacher
Stand up and be proud
what about now?
What about now?
what about now?
What about
now?
