words and music by steve meko
When I was young, I learned of some rules
A lesson from the streets that they don't teach you in school
To be a man, well, Life is hard - There ain't no prize, there ain't no reward
There ain't no road to an easy street
Don't drop your hands down and claim defeat, No.
Well I was raised in some middle class -You'll work hard both night and day
That's if your job'll last
Don't look to me for any cash this week - It seems I've hit an unlucky streak
And I'm not one to preach my worth - Seems I was cursed before my birth
chorus
Opened my eyes, Only to see -
If your town gets to small for you - It's time then to leave
Out on the Road - No lookin' back
Tired of my losin' ways - Gotta get on a Winning Track.
Well I've been down, Every Road I've seen
And I've done my share, and I've tried to believe
To see things in a better light - To find good on a bitter night
Yeah, I've tried hard and I gave my best
But the outcomes never different from the rest
repeat chorus
Lonely Shadow
words and music by steve meko
He faced the door, She threw her cup - He knew right then they were breaking up
She had the key, then she threw it out - And now they're swimmin' in their own doubt.
The smiling face he saw, When he came home
Had been replaced and had just turned to stone - Because she felt alone and....
Defenses down, or worn away - She couldn't find the words to say
He saw the tears, tried to pretend - Could not believe that it had to end
The smiling face he saw, When he came home
Had been replaced and Had just turned to stone
Because she felt alone and...
The smiling face he saw, When he came home
A Lonely Shadow that had turned to stone - Because she felt alone and....
So now he walks through their front door - He turns to see if she is sure
She looks at him and walks away - Too late for words, Nothing left to say
The smiling face he saw, When he came home
A Lonely Shadow that had turned to stone - Because she felt alone and.....
Look Back and Know
words and music by Kenny Newton
It's comin' much too fast for her - She thinks she knows what she sees
He's got an attitude telling him - All of life is to please
And then when sorrow abounds - When the heart knows no lie
We'll run 'em out of town - And then we'll shoot for the sky
chorus
I don't know what's going on - I don't know just what went wrong
I hope that one day baby - We'll look back and know that we made the grade all right
repeat chorus
It went by much too fast for him - He'll never get what he needs
She squandered her love away - Now they call her a tease
The day is not over yet - But we'll write this one off
Tommorows sunlight, May be just enough
Trust
words and music by steve meko
We heard the lies, Heard them from the time that we were born
Well no one clued us in, and we weren't warned
There comes a time you have to believe - In someone or something.
We've seen betrayal, Seen it from the time that we were young
Well no one lets you know until it's done - So, It's a lesson learned, Then you move on.
Somehow, Someway - Find the strength to face another day
We've all known fear, Knew it the first time we felt unsure
Then someone held you tight, and it was cured - When you first knew what love was for.
I know there's times when it's hard to find your way
Stand together, We can chase those clouds away.
We've given Trust, Sometimes the trust we give may be misused
Sometimes you'll feel hurt and feel abused - But you put your hand out anyway
Somehow, Someway - Find the strength to face another day.
Hold on tight! 'Cause this might be the last time that we can
To show you what I'm worth and All I am - You've got to know I understand
Somehow, Someway - Find the strength to face another day.
I'm Sure It's Real
words and music by steve meko
Tried disconnecting myself from the world - Try to ignore all the changes I see
It seems no matter how hard I try - I cant avoid what's waiting out there for me
Chorus
And I've tried to remove myself - To put my feelings up on the shelf
I'm familiar with these same old traps, but - It pulls me in, and I cant look back
When I look into your eyes I feel.... - You may not see it, but I'm sure it's real.
You see it never seems to be in my hands - It's something I cant begin to understand
And when control falls out of my grasp
Try holdin' on, Don't know how much longer I can last
repeat chorus
You captured me, but my guard was down - Was I the easiest target around?
Now that this game has lost some of its appeal
I'll stand alone, and I sure know how cold that feels
repeat chorus
