Made in America
Nineteen fifteen nine
Born down by the factories
Cross the Jersey City line
Raised on radio
Just a jukebox kid
I was alright
Just a small town homeboy
With big time dreams
Foollowing his conscience
In a world full of extremes
Fresh outta high school
Only seventeen
I was alright
Blinded by my vision
There ws just no turning back
Lika a runaway train
Life was steaming down the track
You'd say I'd never make it out
But I kept on hanging on
Every night I prayed to Jesus
And held my head up strong
I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
My old man's independence
Seemed good enough for me
I was made in America
Made in America
Never cared much about politics
Til I was twenty one
But I woke up when Lennon
Found the wrong end of a gun
He left his inspiration
Before he said boodbye
And we were alright
We all lose out innocence
It's impossible to hold
I didn't know it then
I had a packet full of gold
When I kissed those younger days goodbye
It almost broke my heart
I was going to ghrough my growing pains
I was driving in the dark
But I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
I'm facing up to freedom
And chacing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America
Yeah we all lose our innocence
It's impossible to hold
I just didn't know it then
I had a packet full of gold
When they said I'd never make it
I just kept on hanging on
And every night I prayed to Jesus
And I held my head up strong
And I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
Facing up to who I am
Chasing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America
The
kids 'round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smlie and get the blues
Gothic girls all dreesed in black
Serious it's a heart attacks
It takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whiskey stains
Lost the night, forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
Ain't it hard to understand
Why she's holding on her own hand
It's midnight in Chelsea
Midnight In Chelsea
No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They are too busy saving me
I've seen a lone, sloane ranger drive
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to The Sun
And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen
Two lustful lovers catch a spark
And chase their shadows in the dark
Someone is getting off tonight
Of a big red bus that's packed so tight
It disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming
Baby, it's all right
It's midnight in Chelsea
Midnight In Chelsea
No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They are too busy saving me
It's midnight in Chelsea
Midnight In Chelsea
No one's pinned their dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I want to be
When Chelsea girls sing...
It's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on
A baby's born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good-bye
I leave my soul and just move on
Wish that I was there to sing this song
It's midnight in Chelsea
Midnight In Chelsea
No one's asking me for favors
No one's looking for a savior
They are too busy saving me
It's midnight in Chelsea
Midnight In Chelsea
No one's pinned their dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I want to be
The man I want to be, the man I want to be
Midnight in Chelsea
A
penny for your thoughts now baby
Looks like the weight of the world's
On your shoulders now
I know you think you're going crazy
Just when it seems everything's
Gonna work itself out
They drive you right back down
And you said it ain't fair
That a man walks
When a bird can fly
We have to kick the ground
The stars kiss the sky
They say that spirits live
A man has to die
They promised us truth
Now they're giving us lies
Gonna take a miracle
To save us this time
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause it's all on the line
And I won't let you down
(No I won't let you down)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down... no, no
You're looking for salvation
You thought that it'd be shining
Like an angel's light
Well, the angels left this nation
And salvation caught the
Last train out tonight
He lost one hell of a fight
He said I'm just one man
That's all I'll ever be
I never can be everything
You wanted from me
I've got plans, so big
That any blind man could see
I'm standing in the river
Now I'm drowning in the sea
Gonna take a miracle
To save us this time
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause your heart's on the line
And your heartbeat is slowing down
Your feet are grounded still
You're reaching for the sky
You can let 'em clip your wings
'Cause I believe that you can fly, so high
Well my eyes have seen the horror
Of the coming of the flood
I've driven deep the thorny crown
Into the soul of someone's son
Still I'll look you in the eye
'Cause I've believed in things I've thought
And I'll die without regret
For the wars I have fought
Gonna take a miracle
To save you this time
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle
'Cause your heart's doing time
And your conscience is calling you out
It ain't all for nothing
Life ain't written in the sand
I know the tide is coming
But it's time we made a stand
With a miracle
Gonna take a miracle
I need a
miracle
There are days when she's a whisper
Nights when she's a scream
A reason to wake up in the morning
To close your eyes and dream
She'll curse you like a sailor
She'll wound you with her eyes
She always makes it better
But she won't apologize
I know everything about her but don't know her at all
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train
She cries because she's happy
She sings songs when she's mad
Like a stiff drink when you need it
She's good at being bad
And long before you knew her you knew she was the one
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place you've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
You're not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
Mystery train
I know everything about her but don't know her at all
She's a ride on a mystery train
To a place I've never been before
Better hold on tight to that mystery train
I'm not in Kansas anymore
She's a ride
On a mystery train
She's a ride
On a mystery train
He was a man
A ramblin' man he was yes he was
Guitar in hand
His home was on the road and that's where he was
He's seen a thousand roads
He's been a million miles
And when he'd bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Where are you playin'
Mr. Bluesman
Mr. Bluesman
Town to town
Honkytonks and dives all look the same
His gipsy heart keeps his shadow ridin' through the rain
A graveyard full of scars
His life will paint his songs
'Cause when you're on the road
There's nowhere you belong
You're just alone
Where are you playin'
Mr. Bluesman
Mr. Bluesman
He's seen a thousand roads
He's been a million miles
And when he'd bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Where are you playin'
Mr. Bluesman
Mr. Bluesman
I've paid some dues
Now I make my living as a music man
I play the blues I guess the blues must be just what I am
A graveyard full of scars
His life will paint his songs
'Cause when you're on the road
There's nowhere you belong
You're just alone
Where are you playin'
Mr. Bluesman
Mr. Bluesman
He's seen a thousand roads
He's been a million miles
And when he'd bend a note
A tear would fill my eyes
Where are you playin'
Mr. Bluesman
Mr. Bluesman
My Guitar Lies Bleeding In My Arms
Misery
likes company
I like the
way that sounds
I've
been trying to find the meaning
So I can write it down
Staring out the window
I t's such a long way down
I'd like to jump
But I'm afraid to hit the ground
I can't write a love song
The way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope
I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange
Since you went away
I sing this song wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
I'm tried of watching TV
It makes me want to scream
Outside the world is burning
M an it's so hard to believe
Each day you know you're dying
From the cradle to the grave
I get so numb sometimes
That I can't feel the pain
I can't write a love song
The way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope
I got nothing to say
Life is feeling kind of strange
It's strange enough these days
I send this song whoever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
Staring at the paper
I don't know what to write
I'll have my last cigarette
Well, turn out the lights
Maybe tomorrow
I'll feel a different way
But here in my delusion
I don't what to say
I can't write a love song
The way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope
I got nothing to say
And I can't fight the feelings
That are burning in my veins
I sing this song wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
I can't write a love song
The way I feel today
I can't sing no song of hope
I got nothing to say
And I can't fight the feelings
B uried in my brain
I sing this song wherever you are
As my guitar lies bleeding in my arms
My
friend had a girlfriend
She liked her drink
Sucked the head off her lagger
Threw me a wink
She said to me
"Buddy, what's your sign?"
I was off I was runnin'
Knocked me clean off my feet
Her tongue kept on selling
What any blind man could see
I just kept on stumbling through the stop signs
She said "What you hiding underneath that shirt?"
Right behing the buttons there's a heart that hurts
Adam's evening left the curse
Take it off make it work
Naked, naked
Just get back to basics
Naked, face it
You can't fake it when you're naked
Naked, face it
All I'm saying
The tail you been chasing
Put the K back in kink
Threw a coin in her jukebox
I started to think
She just smiled and offered me a peace sign
How far you gonna run in those designer shoes
The soul with holes ain't gonna be the one you lose
I don't know which one is worse
Adam, me or you
Naked, naked
Just get back to basics
Naked, face it
You can't fake it when you're naked
Naked, face it
All I'm saying
Take it, embrace it
Baby, here we are
Can't you almost... taste it
Naked, naked
Just get back to basics
Naked, face it
You can't fake it when you're naked
Naked, face it
As
we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night
And you were lonesome
As a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane
And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever
Never say die
Never say die
I guess you'd say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (that's right)
Still they remained unspoken
And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell
Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother
Those things change
'Cause love is just another word for trust
So hear me when I say
Never say die
Never say no
You got to look them in the eye
And don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
Yeah, and we could run like lightning
Through the pouring rain
And we'll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again
They ask what it is that I want written
On the gravestone where I'll lie
Tell them it's just my bones that died there
So save the tears they'll cry
My spirit is still riding
Somewhere in this night
When it's these three words
That come to me
As I kiss this world goodbye
Never say die
Never say no
You got to look them in the eye
And don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die
As I sit in this smoky room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottles 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 back seat
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out
W e'd break their hearts
Together, forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never 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 out favourite 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
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
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
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on, we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
Time ain't nothing but time
It's a verse with no rhyme
Man, it all comes down to you
Change ain't nothing but change
Just the faces and the names
But you know we're gonna make it through
I'll believe
When you don't believe in anything
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I, when I think that I'm losing my mind
It all comes back to you
And you, you know that it's true
After all we've been through
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Stand by me
And I would gladly give up everything
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
I'm gonna hold you 'til your hurt is gone
Be the shoulder that you're leaning on
I'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
If it all should end tonight
I'll know it was worth the fight
And we'll be standing here
For the next 100 years
