The State of Love
Boys in the street, playin' stick ball
The noise and beats comin' from their jambox is
Distorted plenty and curlin' my hair
I still hear your voice comin' through clear - Uh-Huh
Baby needs changin', a nap overdue
Cryin' for somethin' and all I want to do is
Embrace my guitar and your symphony
And imagine that you're here singin' with me
And I don't care who you're lovin' tonight
I've been lovin' you all of my life
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm comin' from
The state of love I'm comin' from
Love you like a brother, among many things
But I don't need your promise or weddin' ring
Though I can't resist temptation it's true
Maybe you notice the way I look at you
But I don't need your lovin' tonight
'cause I'll be lovin' you for the rest of my life
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm comin' from
The state of love I'm comin' from
And I don't care who you're lovin' tonight
I've been lovin' you all of my life
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm comin' from
The state of love I'm comin' from
No other lips or roads between us can harm
The state of love I'm comin' from
The state of love I'm comin' from
The state of love I'm comin' from
The state of love I'm comin' from

Thin Ice & Deep Water
Well here I go again
Walkin' on thin ice except this time
I know what time it is
Unlike before
I'd gladly shut the window and watch you
Open up the door
The difference is
I'm not walkin' alone
You are walkin' with me on thin ice
And deep water
You can't turn back
Just because you're on an open road
Read the signs and take it slow
Don't look back
Have confidence and take my hand
Woah-woah
The difference is
You're not walkin' alone
You are walkin' with me on thin ice
And deep water
Don't know 'bout you
But I've never felt like this before
No, no
Always the same
Con-tin-u-al satisfaction, still
You leave me wanting more
The difference is
Till you I was alone
Now you are here with me on thin ice
And deep water
The difference is
I'm not walkin' alone - no more
You are walking with me on thin ice
And deep water

Allnight
I do alright all day
I make my way just fine
The time just slips away
Not enough to meet deadlines
Then the sun starts setting down
And the moonlight shines on my face
That's when you start walking 'round
In my mind like you own the place
All night, all night
You walking 'round my mind all night
All night, every night
You all night
With your arms around her
Someone else is bound to mind
Through the sound of that thunder
Listen, you can hear me cry
And when the sun comes out in the morining
And the flowers bloom so bright
I'll be found somewhere smiling
'cause it was you I held so tight
Last night, all night
In someone elses arms it was you all night
All night, all night
You all night
There is just no way
You and I could even try
They are two, two many ways
We could hurt too many lives
You and I, one and the same
Yet we lead such different lives
Different as night and day
That's the truth that I have to face
Who knows what tomorrow brings
I'm too tired to ask why
All I know is my heart sings
A different song when you're close by
And the hope that your eyes bring
That's enough to get me by
Another night, all night
Without you all night
All night, all night
You all night
I do alright all day...

Cest' La Vie, Come What May
It's high time 'cause we fit together
It was high time way before now
I feel light as a feather
Caught in your web and I can't get out
And don't you think
I didn't see it comin'
Don't you think I didn't wait for the day
Don't you think I had it comin' to me
Cest' La Vie, come what may
The storm that's brewin' in our town
I cannot weather, it's hand to mouth
I still, I don't heed any warnings
In the truth they're talkin' about
And don't you think
I didn't see it comin'
Don't you think I didn't wait for the day
Don't you think I had it comin' to me
Cest' La Vie, come what may
I've got it all ridin' just on a shoe string
Came to believe that's where I am now
In the fall there is a grey train
Either way I'm livin' without
Don't you think
I didn't see it comin'
Don't you think I didn't wait for the day
Don't you think I kinda had it comin' to me
Cest' La Vie, come what may
Don't you think
I didn't see it comin'
Don't you think I didn't wait for the day
Don't you think I had it comin' to me
Cest' La Vie, come what may
COME ON!
Cest'... Cest' La-Ha... Cest' La... Cest' La Vie, come what may

Can't Even Sing The Blues
I've grown stone sober with regret
I am immune to the sun and the moon
I'm not the same
Ahhm, habitual mourner, there's no way I could feel any lower
Can't even sing the blues
It hurts too bad
I keep dreamin' that someday I'll have you
Look in the mirror and in my eyes I see you
I walk at night and I wonder
If the street lights are enough to see me through
This dark and lonely night
Turn another corner with each step I take I keep hopin'
I'll run into you
You're not around
I keep dreamin' that someday I'll have you
Look in the mirror and in my eyes I see you
I keep dreamin' that someday I'll have you
Look in the mirror and in my eyes I see you
Ahhmm, habitual mourner, there's no way anyone has felt lower
Can't even sing the blues
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts too bad
No one else can live my life but me
No one can make it right but you
I can't sing the blues
Can't even sing the blues
I can't sing the blues
No, no I'm too low
Can't even sing the blues
Can't even sing the blues
Can't even sing the blues
Can't even sing the blues
Can't even sing the blues
I can't sing the blues
No, no I'm too low
Can't even sing the blues
I can't sing the blues
No, no I'm so low, yeah
I can't even sing the blues...

Talk of the Town - Duet with David Waddell
If you had done the things they say
If you could only change your ways
I can't believe the stories goin' 'round
You and me are the talk of the town
They say that you've found somebody new
And you have found another lover too
But they don't know what we have together
The rumors can be found in the talk of the town
Small town people they say that they're your friends
Back stabbin' liars, it's never gonna end
Stories goin' 'round, and they're puttin' us down
You and me are the talk of the town
Jealousy is what's prompted in what they say
They don't care who their words hurt along the way
And they don't know how close it's pushed us together
By the rumors that we found in the talk of the town
Small town people they say that they're your friends
Back stabbin' liars, it's never gonna end
Stories goin' 'round and they're puttin' us down
You and me the talk of the town
Stories goin' 'round and they're puttin' you down
You and me, the talk of the town
You and me, the talk of the town
You and me, the talk of the town

Walk Tall Cowboy
Walk tall cowboy
Some town folk don't like your name
Walk tall cowboy
They think life is just a game
But we all know that it's a shame
The way they cheat to play their game
They bottle it up in a fruit jar
And roll it in celophane
They take it out and turn it all about
And they do it all over again
The sun don't shine, the grass don't grow
And the town just ain't the same
And drifting in the air love is dyin' and you're to blame
So walk tall cowboy
Some town folk don't like your name
No they don't
Walk tall cowboy
They think life is just a game
But we all know that it's a shame
The way they cheat to play their game
They follow it down to the junk yard
And load it up in a crane
They turn some in and hold some out and they say they don't know a thing
The sun don't shine, the grass don't grow
And the town just ain't the same
And drifting in the air love is dyin' and your to blame
So walk tall cowboy
The sun don't shine, the grass don't grow
And the town just ain't the same
And drifting in the air love has died and your to blame
And drifting in the air love has died and your to blame
So walk tall cowboy

Sittin' In the Right Chair
Just a kid at 22
Already covered up in blue
Your scarlet song rang through
while you listened to me
Like a window to my past
Your light a shadow cast
And given back to me
what I only thought had been taken away
Through the door came a Blaze
And took my heart back to the place
I always dreamed I'd be returned to
And I thank you
Please fly by me now
And maybe show me how to let it flow
Or just let me know
Am I sittin' in the right chair?
Ya know, you were right about those two
They're outta sight and still around
They always turn my smile from a frown
Not much a kid left at 33
Hey! No more dice up my sleeve
Do you know how your life has effected me?
Your life has effected me
Please fly by me now
Maybe show me how to let it flow
Or just let me know
Am I sittin' in the right chair?
Am I sittin' in the right chair?

Callin' it a Day
Ah, with a new beginning
Gettin' over yesterday
Not such a bad thing
Just one long day
Lookin' back ain't gonna get it
And knowin' how right you are
Just keep on chasin' the moon
You're gonna reach a star
Some call it focused
Some people say it's a heartless way
I don't care what anybody calls it
I'm calling it a day
If you don't know what I'm sayin'
It doesn't mean that I'm wrong
All of a sudden forever doesn't seem very long
I'm through with believin' in idols found along the way
Don't need a four leaf clover to make my day
And I'm standin' in the moment
Doin' my best to carry on
Lookin' ahead and movin' on
Some call it focused
Some people say it's a heartless way
I don't care what anybody calls it
I'm callin' it a day
If you don't know what I'm sayin'
It doesn't mean that I'm wrong
All of a sudden forever doesn't seem very long
All of a sudden forever doesn't seem very long

Homeboy Shoes
Once it was written
You set it to song
Just you and your guitar
Your people singin' along
Followed by a man
With an offer you could not refuse
Mr. man of the town wearin'
Homeboy shoes
No matter where you travel
Even to the earths end
You can't make new faces
Into old friends
We're all just a chalk-line
A farm waitin' to be bought
Don't forget where you come from
And what you have got
Good thing you're a soldier
Because the crossroads are comin' again
It doesn't matter which road you take
Because the same thing
Waits at all ends
No matter where you travel
Even to the earths end
You can't make new faces
Into old friends
We're all just a chalk-line
A farm waitin' to be bought-Yeah
So don't forget where you come from, Brothu
And what you have got
Good thing you're a soldier now
Because the crossroads are commin' up again
It doesn't matter which road you take this time
The same thing waits at all ends
It's one thing to be walkin' a line
And two things to forget you were mine
And three to be ready if it all ends
For you can't make new faces
Into old friends
It's one thing to be walkin' a line
And two things to forget you were mine
And three to be ready if it all ends
Four- You can't make new faces
into old friends
No, you can't make new faces
into old friends
Old friends
Old friends
Old friends...

Just My Style
With this heart of clay
I must get away from your - hot and cold
And changin' with the sun - comin' down
And darkness - all around you
Been under my skin - for so long I don't recall
Lettin' you in there - No
I have come to see right through
Not come to believe no more of your lies
And emotional blackmail
There will come a day
I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
You won't find not even a trace
Don't be surprised
That's just my style
You are like a disease to me
But there are not enough steps to free
Anyone's heart that's so used to bleeding
As time passes us by
I will dry the tears from my eyes
And all of these walls will crumble - like hearts matter
And there will come a day
I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
You won't find not even a trace - No
Don't be surprised
That's just my style
There will come a day
I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
You won't find not even a trace
Don't be surprised
That's just my style
There will come a day
I won't wear my heart on my sleeve
You won't find not even a trace
Don't be surprised
Oh, won't you be suprised!
Don't be suprised
That's just my style!
