1. Song From An American Movie Pt. 1

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la la la Go! I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know I sing along when I hear it on the radio now Hey now where did we go Ooh yeah, days when the rains came Way down in the hollow Ooh yeah, playin' a new game Laughin' and a runnin', hey, hey, hey Skippin' and a jumpin', yeah, yeah In the misty morning fog Oh baby and our hearts a thumpin' And you My brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl Do you remember when We used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la la la I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know Hey, hey, hey I sing along when I hear it on the radio now Now that the years gone by Yeah, now that I'm on my own Saw you just the other day Oh my, baby you have grown Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometimes I am overcome just thinkin' 'bout it Makin' love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl You, my brown eyed girl Do you remember when Yeah, we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la la la Sha la la la la la la la la la la la I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know Hey, hey, hey I sing along when I hear it on the radio Hey, hey, hey I sing along when I hear it on the radio now

The only thing that ever made sense to me Is the words to a song from an American movie The only thing that ever made sense in my life Is the sound of my little girl laughing Through the window of a summer night I sit alone in the back yard Wishing I could be inside Just the sound of my little girl laughing Makes me happy just to be alive...

5. Learning How To Smile

2. Here We Go Again

Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back Got all drunk and sloppy on a Greyhound bus We passed out, all them losers they were laughing at us I will never let them break your heart No I will never let them break me We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time Seven months of livin' swimming on those thin white lines Did some time for sellin' acid to the wrong guy Life just keeps on gettin' smaller and we never ask why Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true I’m just learning how to smile That’s not easy to do I know there will come a day When we can leave and just go runnin' away We was broke outside of Philly when the storms came I was working in New Jersey, hitchin' rides in the rain You was happy talkin' dirty at that phone sex place Life just keeps on gettin' weirder for us every day You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true We are just learning how to smile That’s not easy to do We both live for the day When we can run away Oh baby we can leave and run away Yes we can leave this place and run away We can leave it all behind like we do every time Yes we both live for the day When we can leave and just go runnin' away No I will never let it break your heart No I will never let it break me Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line We got married in the desert and the sunshine I can’t handle how the hell it happens every day When you smile and touch my face You make it all just go away Yes I know there ain’t no finish line, I know this never ends But I’m just learning how to fall, climb back up again I know there is nothing perfect, I know there is nothing new We are just learning how to live together, me and you You know I live for the day When you say "Baby let’s just run away" Oh baby we can leave and run away Yes we can leave this place and run away Baby we can leave and run away We can leave this place and run away

You know I like to watch you sleep No I don’t wanna touch you, you’ll get mad at me No I don’t wanna think about the bad times Anyone could have a bad year Now I don’t want you to show me Do not want you to know me The way I used to be All these good things we have Would not mean a damn to me And I don’t wanna hear those words you feel you have to say When you find out how I used to be Back in the day Yeah, you know I like the way you slide Yeah, yes I like it when you do that slow glide Now, please don’t bad talk all those good times Don’t ask for answers, baby, that you do not want to hear Now I don’t want you to make me Do not need you to break me Of all my childish ways I’m still the same, you know Dumb, rock hard, and good to go I still hear them voices calling me from back in the day Oh baby can’t you see there ain’t no place I’d rather be Then watchin' dirty movies In that happy room with you Sleepin' on a mattress in the corner Eating Chinese food I hear that voice in my head Say here we go again Now here we go again I know you like the way I rock Sometimes I just need to drown out all that bad talk Yeah, I could not care less what your friends say Someone’s always talkin' shit about the old days You do not need to remind me That I left it all behind Those things I used to do I don’t want that other life 'cause I am so in love with you I can barely hear it calling me from back in the day Oh baby can’t you see there ain’t no place I’d rather be Then watching dirty movies In that happy room with you Sleepin' on a mattress in the corner Eating Chinese food I hear that voice in my head Say here we go again Yeah here we go again Oh baby here we go again I know, here we go... Baby baby can’t you see Yes I know you got some doubts I know you don’t believe I know you think I’m crazy Yeah but I know you’re just like me When I hear that voice inside me Makes me want to jump right in Sayin' here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go again Let’s go watch some dirty movies Yes in that nasty little room Sleepin' on the mattress while we eat that greasy Chinese food I hear that voice in my head Say here we go again Baby, here we go again

6. The Honeymoon Song

3. A.M. Radio

SPOKEN: KHJ Los Angeles! Portions of the day’s programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings. You can hear the music on the AM radio The VCR and the DVD There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970 We didn’t know about a World Wide Web It was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid Wanna get down in a cool way Picture yourself on a beautiful day Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair Just walkin' in style with a portable CD player No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio Flashback, '72 Another summer in the neighborhood Hangin' out with nothing to do Sometimes we'd go drivin' around In my sister’s Pinto Cruisin' with the windows rolled down We'd listen to the radio station We were too damn poor to buy the eight track tapes There wasn’t any good time to want to be inside My mama wanna watch that TV all goddamn night I’d be in bed with the radio on I would listen to it all night long Just to hear my favorite song You’d have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio I can still hear Mama say “Boy turn that radio down!” SPOKEN: Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don’t wanna watch that show! Can’t we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off! Things changed back in ’75 We were all growing up on the in and the outside We got in trouble with the police man We got busted gettin' high in the back of my friend’s van I remember 1977 I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin I got a guitar on Christmas day I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come from Santa Monica and teach me to play Teach me to play... There isn’t any place that I need to go There isn’t anything that I need to know I did not learn from the radio Yeah when things get stupid and I just don’t know Where to find my happy I listen to my music on the AM radio You can hear the music on a AM radio You can hear the music on a AM radio I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco... No I never liked disco...

One, two, three Two, two, three You know I love you baby And I know you love me too But the fun that day Didn’t start until We left on our honeymoon Stepped off the plane into a warm sunny day Then we got leid together The sun shines down on a lonely town Where the fish all smile 'cause they know us Our wedding day was warm and sunny Our friends and family came from out of town We said I do, then ate some food And smiled 'til the sun went down We’ll take the zodiac, the Cadillac Around the north shore and then we’ll head back The sea turtles come to greet us So let’s get loaded tonight We’ll drink on the flight Back home, the honeymoon is over You know I love you baby And I know you love me too But the fun that day Didn’t start until We left on our honeymoon We’re on our honeymoon We’re on our honeymoon The fun that day Didn’t start until We left on our honeymoon
