Somebody's Girl

words and music by steve meko
She used to live on eleventh street, she set her mind on a better life
So many obstacles were in her way, but...
That never led her hopes astray
Walk to school, then to work - the other girls were just biding their time
Window dressing for the local boys, they'd...
Sell their souls for a tired line
chorus: But she wanted more than that
She wanted more, than typical strings
Somebody's Girl didn't have that ring
She's not impressed by obvious things.
Cast a movie, write your part
An iron will, but a lonely heart
Not content with the scripted role, she's
Working hard to break out of that mold
repeat chorus
Her greatest fear is that one day she'd be stranded here
A carbon-copied life
She hope she'd never lead, as she tries her best to leave...
Friday Night, the girls would dance
She's selling soda at the back of the hall
She never felt as though she'd fit in here but...
That never bothered her much at all
Because the thought of fitting in just made her skin crawl
repeat chorus twice

42 Miles
words and music by steve meko
Rip off that seatbelt, It's your life and a wide ride
So hard to open up and unleash that hidden side, well...
Have you seen this road before?
Familiar scenery, feeling comfortably unsure
That school of hard knocks, Well I've been there, I've done my time
No need for reruns for the chalkmarks of the crime
'Cause I've been down that road before
Familiar scenery, Now I'm relatively sure
chorus:
42 Miles and a question mark to go
Why don't we tear it up and let that wheel go
42 Miles and a question mark to go
I swear by God it's time to, let that wheel go.
They say that God, lives in the small details
Somehow I''ve lost my way, can't fill these empty sails, well....
Have you felt this...felt this way before?
Sure made me run to find the door...once more...
repeat chorus twice

Blind Leading the Blind
words and music by steve meko
They loaded up the barge, and set it off to sail
A mountain growing large, the system here has failed
Out of sight, out of mind - the politician said
Twenty years have gone down the road, we see we've been misled
chorus: We weren't watching the signs
It's like the blind were leading the blind
The blind were leading the blind.
There's a great divide, how things are and how they should be
And we're reminded everyday, his lung disease to that dying tree
One day we woke, to find a veil draped across our sky
Yet no one spoke, set adrift on this toxic isle
repeat chorus
Where do they turn? Is it too late once the die is cast?
No small concern, decisions made in a checkered past
Who pays the price? Not the men who made the call
They line their pockets and they walk away
With children left there to take the fall
repeat chorus

If I Stay
words and music by steve meko
She knew that she had it comin', with her windows open and motor runnin'
Didn't know how much more that he would take
But it was much too late to hit the brakes so..
chorus: If I Stay, would it be better than yesterday?
'Cause I've lost the will to fight
Another day, just like yesterday but
You know she'd be there for you tonight.
He knew he was in contention, but he wasn't sure of her intentions
Couldn't see past the icing on her cake
But it was much too late to hit the brakes so..
repeat chorus
Captued in the morning light, two lovers nurse another fight
An impasse of opposing views, Stay or go, now who's to choose but
repeat chorus
