Always
This Romeo is bleedin' But you can't see his blood It's nothin' but some feelings That this old dog kicked up It's been raining since you left me Now I'm drowning in the flood You see I've always been a fighter But without you I give up Now I can't sing a love song Like the way it's meant to be Well I guess I'm not that good anymore But baby that's just me And I will love you baby, Always And I'll be there forever and a day, Always I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine 'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme I know when I die you'll be on my mind And I'll love you, Always Now the pictures that you left behind Are just memories of a different life Some that made us laugh, Some that made us cry One that made you have to say goodbye What I'd give to run my fingers through you hair To touch your lips, to hold you near When you say your prayers try to understand I made mistakes, I'm just a man When he holds you close when he pulls you near When he says the words you've been needing to hear I wish I was him 'cause those words are mine To say to you 'til the end of time And I will love you baby, Always And I'll be there forever and a day, Always If you told to cry for you I could If you told me to die for you I would Take a look at my face, there's no price I won't pay To say these words to you Well there ain't no luck in these loaded dice But baby if you'd give me just one more try We could pack up on old dreams and our old lives And find a place where the sun still shines And I will love you baby, Always And I'll be there forever and a day, Always I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine 'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme I know when I die you'll be on my mind And I'll love you, Always Always
Blaze Of Glory
I wake up in the morning And I raise my weary head I've got an old coat for a pillow And the earth was last night's bed I don't know where I'm going Only God knows where I've been I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind When you're brought into this world They say you're born in sin Well at least they gave me something I didn't have to steal or have to win Well they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah, I'm a wanted man I'm a colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can I'm going out in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going out in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm no one's son Call me young gun You ask about my conscience And I offer you my soul You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man Well I ask if I'll grow old You ask me if I've known love And what it's like to sing songs in the rain Well, I've seen love come And I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth 'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm the devil's son Call me young gun Solo Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep No I ain't looking for forgiveness But before I'm six foot deep Lord, I got to ask a favor And hope you'll understand 'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let this boy die like a man Staring down a bullet Let me make my final stand Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going out in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood And I'm no one's son Call me young gun I'm a young gun
I'll Be There For You
I guess this time you're really leaving I heard your suitcase say goodbye And as my broken heart lies bleeding You say true love is suicide You say you've cried a thousand rivers And now you're swimming towards the shore You left me drowning in my tears And you won't save me anymore Now I'm praying to God You'll give me one more chance girl I'll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for you I know you know we've had some good times Now they have their own hiding place I can promise you tomorrow But I can't buy back yesterday And Baby you know my hands are dirty But I wanted to be your valentine I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby When you get drunk, I'll be the wine I'll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for you And I wasn't there when you were happy I wasn't there when you were down I didn't mean to miss your birthday baby I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out I'll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I'll be there for you I'd live and I'd die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can't say what love can do I'll be there for you
Itīs My Life
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for faith departed And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud Chorus It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive, It's my life This is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky Got to make your own breaks Repeat chorus Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down Repeat chorus
Just Older Hey, man, it's been a while Do you remember me? When I hit the streets I was 17 A little wild, a little green I've been up and down and in between After all these years Can you believe I'm still chasing that dream But I ain't looking over my shoulder Chorus: I like the bed I'm sleeping in It's just like me, it's broken in It's not old -- just older Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans This skin I'm in it's alright with me It's not old -- just older It's good to see your face You ain't no worse for wear Breathing that California air When we took on the world When we were young and brave We got secrets that we'll take to the grave And we're standing here shoulder to shoulder Chorus: I like the bed I'm sleeping in It's just like me, it's broken in It's not old -- just older Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans This skin I'm in it's alright with me It's not old -- just older I'm not old enough to sing the blues But I wore the holes in the soles of these shoes You can roll the dice 'til they call your bluff But you can't win until you're not afraid to lose Solo Well, I look in the mirror I don't hate what I see There's a few more lines staring back at me The nights have grown a little colder Hey man, I gotta run Now you take care If you see coach T. Tell him I cut my hair It's been all these years Can you believe I'm still chasing dreams But I ain't looking over my shoulder Chorus: I like the bed I'm sleeping in It's just like me, it's broken in It's not old -- just older Like a favorite pair of torn blue jeans This skin I'm in it's alright with me It' s not old -- just older

Thank You For Loving Me It's hard for me to say the things I want to say sometimes There's no one here but you and me And that broken old street light Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you Are these five words when I Chorus: Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me Thank you for loving me I never knew I had a dream Until that dream was you When I look into your eyes The sky's a different blue Cross my heart I wear no disguise If I tried, you'd make believe That you believed my lies Chorus: Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see For parting my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me You pick me up when I fall down You ring the bell before they count me out If I was drowning you would part the sea And risk your own life to rescue me Solo Lock the doors We'll leave the world outside All I've got to give to you Are these five words when I Chorus: Thank you for loving me For being my eyes When I couldn't see You parted my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me When I couldn't fly Oh, you gave me wings You parted my lips When I couldn't breathe Thank you for loving me
These Days
I was walking around just a face in the crowd Tryin' to keep myself out of the rain Saw a vagabond king wearing a styrofoam crown Wondered if I might end up the same There's a man out on the corner Singing old songs about change Everybody's got their cross to bear these days She came looking for some shelter With a suitcase full of dreams To a motel room on a boulevard I guess she's tryin' to be James Dean She's seen all the disciples And all the wannabes No one wants to be themselves these days Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days These days, the stars seem out of reach These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, nothing lasts In this graceless age, there ain't nobody left but us these days Jimmy shoes he busted both his legs Tryin' to learn how to fly From a second story window He just jumped and closed his eyes His mamma said he was crazy He said, "Momma I've got to try" Don't you know that all mt heroes died Well I guess I'd rather die than fade away These days, the stars seem out of reach These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, nothing lasts It's a graceless age, even innocence has caught the midnight train There ain't nobody left left but us these days I know Rome's still burning Though the times have changed This world keeps turning Round and round and round and round these days These days, the stars seem out of reach These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, love don't last It's a graceless age, even innocence has caught the midnight train These days, the stars seem out of reach These days, there ain't a ladder on the streets These days are fast, nothing lasts There ain't no time to waste, there ain't nobody left to take the blame Oh no no there ain't nobody left but us these days There ain't nobody left but us these days
Two Story Town I couldn't sleep Took a walk down Second Avenue Sick of dreaming dreams that never come true One way street and I know where its leading to There's a "For Sale" sign on the front door of the city hall The subway line got graffiti crawling off the wall I could take a hit but I don't want to take the fall That's just one side of the story In this two story town Chorus: It's just the same old sights And the same old sounds I want to take my car and drive out of this two story town It's the same old ship going down I'm going down, down ,down, down, down It's a two story town There's a girl that I sleep with She's got ecstasy eyes He promised her roses and American pie I called her and my demons And I kissed them both goodbye Seven days of Monday morning In a two story town Chorus: It's just the same old sights And the same old sounds I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round It's the same old ship going down I'm going down, down, down, down, down It's a two story town One shot to make a move now The ghosts are calling me out Guitar solo And me I'm just one story In a two story town But you're never going to find me in the lost and found Chorus: It's just the same old sights And the same old sounds I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round It's the same old ship going down I'm going down, down, down, down, down It's a two story town Chorus 2: It's just the same old sights and the same old sounds I want to take my horse and ride him off this merry-go-round I won't give in and I won't back down I'm going down, down, down, down down I ain't going down, down, down, down, down I'm never going down, down, down, down, down It's a two-story town
