Intro 01:02
Don’t waste your time Boy, get ready for some living If you let it pass by Then you’ll live your life regretting You say you’re still a child Well it ain’t to early to give I don’t mean to preach I’m just speaking from my past If you don’t follow your dreams then they’ll kick you in the ass I said, with one life to live then you better get on your way I said, with one life to live then you better get on your way

I Care 03:50
Ohhhhhhhhh See now I’ve been alone, I’ve been afraid I’ve been on my knees Begging the lord to send a way I’ve been down, I’ve been depressed I’ve cried so many nights trying to put my soul to rest But through the bad times, there always comes good So just be kind and patient cause you’re gonna get what you should You do right you’ll get right, you do wrong and you’ll learn That things will work out eventually so baby just wait your turn And sing it with me now Ohhhhhhhhh See there couldn’t be the good times If it wasn’t for the bad Like when fighting between your and your partner Leads to the best love you’ve ever had So if you’re broke down, unhappy And feel like nothings going your way Then smile and keep your head up Cause tomorrow’s another day Ohhhhhhhhh See now when you’re broke down And you don’t know what to do Just take a good look at yourself And say goddamn it, I’m through With all my worries, all my insecurities I’m gonna life my life, oh I’m gonna live it right Cause you see you gotta try, try and change your mind You may feel like you’re broken down baby But with a little effort you’ll shine In time, said we can do it now We can all do it you see now I did it I put my soul in it And now it’s my time I care, if you need somebody to tell you now, I care So sing it with me Ohhhhhhhhh

Come on Home 04:36
Come On Home Where You Belong (Mmm…) Come On Home Where You Belong (Mmm…hmm.mmm.mmm) Verse 1: Everyday, When you’re not around I’m thinking about you baby And I need you to understand, You got yourself a man To hold you down, Only if you want me to Chorus: Verse 2: Say pretty baby, I know it ain’t that easy To let go (Rest assure) But you drive me crazy, And I’m gonna prove to you That all my intentions, Are nothing but pure Bridge: Said I know this road ain’t easy, but I’m sure that you see (Sure that you see) That my door is always open (Open), and my shelter’s (Always Free) If you let me in believe me, that you won’t regret a thing (No No) Cause I love you (Love You!), and I need you (Need You!) So come on home to me Chorus Vamp out
4.
Lord help me, Forgive me for my sins I’ve been lost for a while now And I can’t remember Where I’ve been There’s a long road Ahead of me And I’m not sure How it’s gonna end So please won’t you help me Cause I feel my soul may soon Pre: Be dead, oh, because I’m lonely and confused I’ve been wandering these old roads for a while And I ain’t got a clue Chorus: Please Lord, won’t you lay me down to sleep My mind’s so tired, and my eyes hurt from crying My hearts been growing weak I know this whiskey, is bringing my much more harm But I’ve grown so desperate, for the warmth of her arms She left me lonesome, on a cold winters night She’s been running all around the town Cause I don’t treat her right She found a new love One that makes her feel safe And this will be the last time, that I ever see her face Prechorus: Oohhh, I said I don’t know where to go She took my heart in her suitcase When she walked out that door Chorus:
5.
Hey child, fetch a pail of water Mama’s getting thirsty now Say now, won’t you pour it for her She’s been working hard today I must go, to town for a while The faithful child will stay And, my love, I may be an hour But I’ll bring flowers on my way

Billyanne 04:06
Well she slips off her sandals To feel the earth again The long green hair Reminds her of home Laying down she looks at me With quiet eyes Hold my hand once more She paints me a picture, with blue sky, and off white clouds Of the world she’s come to know As birds fly by she shed a tear, wishing she could join them On their journey away from the snow Chorus: Billyanne has never been one for the cold She just follows the sun She dances across the blue sky, and runs from the rain So I pray this sunlight will never go She came to me on a cool, dim day, hiding from the rain I asked if she would take my hand I promise Billyanne, I’ll be your umbrella I’ll keep you dry and put a smile upon your face Chorus: Billyanne has never been one for the cold She just follows the sun She dances across the blue sky, and runs from the rain So I pray this sunlight will never go Well December came, looked out the windowpane To see the first snow upon the ground I look to the bedside, just as I believed Billyanne was no where to be found Chorus: Billyanne has never been one for the cold She just follows the sun She dances across the blue sky, and runs from the rain So I pray this sunlight will come again So I pray this sunlight will come again
7.
What can I say to make her understand That I could be her shelter Carry her bags when she’s got full hands Or maybe I should tell her Some thing clever, something quick That I’m a master of words at the stop of… shit What can I show her, so she could see That I’m the finest bachelor Crop a picture of her and me Or maybe that would lack the Initial connection that’s so necessary But all she said was eww when she saw I was so hairy (Chorus) I can’t see what’s going on here I try so hard to make it clear All she does is walk on by When I know in my heart that I could be the guy, but I can’t see what’s going on now I just need to find some way how I can make her stop on by And understand that I could be the guy For her… (Ahhh…) What can I do, to make her laugh So she would know that I’m hip Pierce my tongue, or drive real fast Or maybe that would still miss (Shoo-Be-Do-Wop)The point, the moment, the instigation When instead all I’m feeling is perspiration (Legato Verse) Maybe it’s time, I throw it all away A long, lost delusion (Goodbye) Of thinking that there might be a day Well fuck this confusion (Ahh) I, guess I’ll just walk on by Since now I know I’ll never be that guy (Cheesy Jazz) Well hello Cindy, I didn’t see You walking there, right next to me (Bap-Ba-Do…) You know my name, well how about that I like your shoes, you like my hat (Bap-Ba-Do) What am I doing, later on? Why don’t you come over, I’ll play you a song (Bap-Ba-Do) That sounds great, I’ll see you at ten (Oooo…) What the fuck just happened? (Chorus) I can see what’s going on here (I see what it is) I tried so hard to make it clear (Tried so hard) All she did was walk on by When I knew in my heart that I could be the guy, but I can see what’s going on now (It’s finally here) But I don’t understand quite how (Just don’t know) She came and stopped on by And understands that I’m the guy For her… (Ahhh…)
8.
I… Can’t decide When it was That you crossed my eye Said now, I, was hypnotized By the way you walked on by Confidently sly, and now I’m holding on tight Cause you got me And if you don’t mind see I been waiting for the chance To tell you you’re the first girl That had me at first glance Well conversation’s easy yea, Comfortable, don’t have to front with you Oh no… Strength, knowledge, wisdom Inside and out you’re beautiful Chorus: And if romance is on your mind Then I’m your man (Your Man) And if you’re just looking for a good time C’mon let’s dance (Let’s Dance) Said lovely lady if you’ll let me Let me prove to you that I can (I Can) Be the one to sweep you off your feet Take this chance (Oh…….) Well oh my goodness here she comes again Every time it feels like a dream When you’re near me I can’t help but wish I could treat you like my queen Just to think about your skin… Touching my skin To feel your heartbeat rise Holds me in this fantasy, oh baby can’t you see When I’m with you I’m exactly where I want to be (Chorus) Bridge: If you give my love a try now (Give me a try) I know you won’t deny how (Oh no, you won’t deny it) I’ll take you higher if you take my hand (Oh…) Baby just believe me (Oh…) That I ain’t gonna give up this easy Cause there ain’t a time, when you ain’t on my mind Won’t you give me a chance (Chorus)

My Angel 02:18
Oh, my angel Don’t sink with them darling Fly away Oh, my angel We’ll go the road together And find our own way Leave this path of sorrow And begin your journey home

Hold On 04:07
Girl you don’t see That you’re only Hurting yourself, With your pride Just breathe deep, Believe me This cloudy road gon’ clear up, You gonna dry every tear drop Say to me you’ll try To bring all your pains outside Let down your shield don’t hide Said it’s only a matter of time Till you face your fears head on All you gotta do is stay headstrong Those pains are gonna leave you alone If you only let them go, said Chorus: Oh, you gotta be strong If you keep on holding on Your waiting won’t be long Hold On, Be Strong Your waiting won’t be long Noooooo I know it’s hard love You’re scarred up But you can’t let that stand in your way Let the past be Believe me Yesterday’s been gone Keep your head up and carry on And then you’ll come to realize You were just wasting all your time You were down but now you’ll rise And you’re ready to live your life The world is yours and wherever you are Keep your mind open and you’ll go far Talent and beauty baby you’ll be a star And if you struggle just remember to call Chorus Oh, you gotta be strong If you keep on holding on Your waiting won’t be long (Hold On, Be Strong, Your waiting won’t be long, Noooooo) Solo And on and on and on and… and on and on and on and…

Said I been, walking a long time And these legs are getting tired Walking these streets for miles And these legs are getting tired But it’s the only road I’ve ever known Don’t try for me, I’m already gone So I’ll tip my hat, and say goodbye I’ll be a traveling man, till the day I die Mama don’t you worry Yo son gonna be alright Papa don’t you worry about me Yo son gonna be alright This world has made me, into a man Taught me a lesson or two, helped me understand I got my happiness, and my guitar by my side So I’ll be a traveling man, till the day I die (Harmonica Solo) But it’s the only road I’ve ever known Don’t try for me, I’m already gone So I’ll tip my hat, and say goodbye I’ll be a traveling man, till the day I die

Last Goodbye 04:42
When we began, The perfect scene Hand in hand With the girl of my dreams (I Couldn’t See) The transformation That was coming along (What Went Wrong?) All of a sudden goodbye goes the loving And hello expectation Of a man that’s excited to give up his life (Without returning shit) Chorus: I can’t stay here with you baby If I’m just wasting all my time Sailing along this endless ocean With no trace of land in sight There’s no give & take with you There’s just giving all of mine If you can’t understand this darlin’ Then this is our last goodbye You wanna be free, but you can’t survive Without constantly having a man by your side (You Just Need) a simple-minded, Halfway-blinded fool (To Carry You) Come on baby; be real for a minute We both know that you’re not really in it (All We Do Is Fight) Then you stay out all night And you still want me to chase you? Chorus Solo Whoa oh whoa whoa
14.
Verse 1: When you’re low, And feeling all alone Just stop, And think about life Now I know, that you, May be going through Some hard times, But that’s alright, that’s alright Prechorus: When you feel yourself, moving down the wrong path Just remember, it’s never too late to turn back Chorus: Where do we go from here, when we’ve lost our way? Where do we go from here, when we’ve found our way back? Oh! Verse 2: When you’re walls have crumbled, to the ground Together we can take a stand, if you take my hand for help Cause you can’t live your life alone Who wants to live their life alone? Prechorus: When you feel yourself, moving down the wrong path Just remember, it’s never too late to turn back Chorus: Where do we go from here, when we’ve lost our way? Where do we go from here, when we’ve found our way back? Outro: Aah’s/It’s a beautiful life
