1. _ No Fear
I want a road stretching out before me
I want a radio in my ear
I want a full tank of absolution
No fear
I want a rainstorm to pull me over
Then a sky that begins to clear
Towards the truest of destinations
No fear
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No fear
I want the world to just keep on turning
I want the dawn in my rear view mirror
I want to hear my own voice singing
No fear
And when I need two arms around me
And there's no one near
When I'm alone let the only sound be
No fear
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No fear
I want peace, Love and Understanding
A stogie and an ice-cold beer
Don't want to live afraid of dying
I used to hit every wall there was
I used to run away from love
All I ever wanted was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I used to stay up all night long
Wondering what I was doing wrong
All I ever needed was right here
But I had to reach way down inside
I had to have faith I'd find
No fear

2. _ One Of The Guys
Hood up, bent over that carbeurator
I skinned my knuckle, damn that hurt
Got a six pack chillin on ice for later
And grease all over my white t-shirt
My brother taught me how to throw a curve ball
The cheerleadin thing never felt quite right
When it comes to high fashion I hit a brick wall
This girl's just one of the guys
You can dress me up but it won't change
The way I walk against the grain
I can rock your world and if my mood is right
You can take me home but I'm gonna drive
Cause this girl's just one of the guys
I can throw darts, talk about fishin
Tell a dirty joke and watch NASCAR
I can help you with your love life and tell you bout women
Drink you under the table at your favorite bar
You can dress me up but it won't change
The way I walk against the grain
I can rock your world and if my mood is right
You can take me home but I'm gonna drive
Cause this girl's just one of the guys
I'm still a lady lookin for the right man
But he's gotta take me just the way i am
Cause you can dress me up but it won't change
The way I walk against the grain
I can rock your world if my mood is right
After the game on Monday night
Cause this girl's just one of the guys
Yeah this girl's just one of the guys

3. _ Girls Lie Too
So she can't go out tonight again:
Her sister's sick, she's gotta baby-sit.
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse.
Now you didn't hear any of this from me,
But things aren't always what they seem.
Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you.
Girls lie too,
An' we don't care how much money you make,
Or what you drive or what you weigh:
Size don't matter anyway.
Girls lie too:
Don't think you're the only ones,
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some.
We learn from you,
Girls lie too.
We can't wait to hear about your round of golf.
We love to see deer heads hanging on the wall,
An' we like Hooter's for their hotwings too.
Other guys never cross our minds.
We don't wonder what it might be like.
How could it be any better than it is with you?
Girls lie too,
An' we don't care how much money you make,
Or what you drive or what you weigh:
Size don't matter anyway.
Girls lie too:
Don't think you're the only ones,
Who bend it, break it, stretch it some.
We learn from you,
Girls lie too.
Yeah, girls lie too:
We always forgive and forget.
The cards and flowers you never sent,
Will never be brought up again.
Girls lie too.
Old grey sweatpants turn us on.
We like your friends and we love your mom.
And that's the truth,
Girls lie too.
Yeah that's the truth,
Girls lie too.
No, we don't care how much hair you have.
Yeah, that looks good!
Comb it over like that.
Oh.

4. _ Everytime I Cry
You call and wake me up, the way you always do
Say you miss me and you're sorry, deja vu
You push the button in the heart you know so well
The wall starts coming down then I remind myself
Everytime I think you might have changed
Put aside the anger and the blame
Make myself believe that there's a way to work it out
Everytime you say let's try again
Begging me to let you back in
Everytime I do
Everytime you lie
Everytime I cry
If only promises could just erase the past
I could open up my heart enough to take you back
But we've been down that road
Time and time again
I've learned the hard way how the story always ends
Put aside the anger and the blame
Make myself believe that there's a way to work it out
Everytime you say let's try again
Begging me to let you back in
Everytime I do
Everytime you lie
Everytime I cry
Put aside the anger and the blame
Make myself believe that there's a way to work it out
Everytime you say let's try again
Begging me to let you back in
Everytime I do
Everytime you lie
Everytime I cry
Everytime I do
Everytime you lie
Everytime I cry

5. _ Emotional Girl
I've been looking at you looking me
Bet you're thinking that want you get
Is what you see
But underneath this cool exterior
A raging river flows
So before you get any nearer
I better let you know
I'm an emotional girl
I can't help myself
Sometimes I laugh
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I do both and I don't know why
I got a Passionate heart
And that's just the way things are
You and me could give it a whirl
But I'm warning you, boy
I'm an emotional girl
I like music that's loud and lights down low
I like driving my car too fast
And dancing slow
Some folks may say I |
6. _ If I Were You
You were standin' at my front door
When I came home tonight
And I could tell by the look you gave me
You were needin' my advice
You say you want more out of life than he can give you
As a tear rolls down your face
But girl, I've seen the way he looks at you
And I know someone who'd gladly take your place
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah, I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold
My whole life through
If I were you
You shouldn't think you're missin' out on something
Because you wear a wedding band
'Cause I can't seem to find somebody
Who wants more than just a one night stand
You know this single life I'm livin'
Ain't all it's cracked up to be
So you've come to the wrong place
If what you want is sympathy
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah, I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold
My whole life through
If I were you
I'd run back home tonight
Tell him everything's all right
Yeah, I know what I'd do
If I were you
I'd never let him go
I'd have someone to hold
My whole life through
If I were you

7. _ A Little Gasoline
Throwin' pictures out the window
Scattered by the way the wind blows
Bye bye baby that's the last I'll see of you
Shoebox full of old love letters
I'll tear each one till I feel better
And I won't look back 'cause I don't like the view
What my heart needs now is rest
So I'm packin up and I'm headed west
My mind's made up I put it to the test
Pushin myself and this old machine
Burnin fumes and what's left of my dreams
Let 'em go 'cause I don't need no strings
Just give me a road and a little gasoline
We talked in circles till the words ran out
And it all came down to an angry shout
Before I knew it I was in 3rd gear and gone
Well this has been comin for a long long time
If I said I'm sorry well I'd be lyin
If you think I'd never make it well you'd be wrong
What my heart needs now is rest
So I'm packin up and I'm headed west
My mind's made up I put it to the test
Pushin myself and this old machine
Burnin fumes and what's left of my dreams
Let 'em go 'cause I don't need no strings
Just give me a road and a little gasoline

8. _ When Boy Meets Girl
First, it's baseball, arcades in the mall
Skipping out of study hall to hang with the guys
Then, it's fast cars, rock and roll guitars
Lighting up behind the barn and not knowing why
But his life is about to change
He's never gonna be the same
And he'll be living uin a different world
When boy meets girl
One smile, one look - he's nearly on the hook
Got it bad and feeling good all over inside
He ain't got a clue what he's going through
But he's going to - just give him time
'Cause his life is about to change
He's never gonna be the same
He'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl
He never polished his boots before
Never thought about what he wore
Never knew he could feel like that
Now there ain't no way he can ever go back
Oh yeah, his life is about to change
He ain't never gonna be the same
And he'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl
His life is about to change
He ain't never gonna be the same
He'll be living in a different world
When boy meets girl....

9. _ Better Things To Do
Don't tell me the reason that you're calling
Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone
'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking
You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two
But now, I got better things to do
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Maybe when I don't have so much going
Or quite so many irons in the fire
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping
But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires
Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue
That's right, I got better things to do
I could wash my car in the rain
Change my new guitar strings
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
Check the air in my tires
Straighten my stereo wires
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
I don't need to waste my time crying over you
I got better things to do
I got better things to do

10. _ Now That I Found You
How can I believe
That my heart would find someone like you
You see me, the real me
No in bewteens, I had nowhere to hide
You took away the walls around me
Made me feel safe to share my truth
I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you
I do believe we're meant to be
Our chemistry will last forever
And through the years
We'll see some tears
We'll conquer fears
And together we will grow
Look through your eyes
They tell me
I no longer have to be alone
I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you
You see me, the real me
You belive you in me
I see the heavens open, a heart that once was broken
Is holding nothing back
Now that I found you
You hold me like a prayer, you touch me everywhere
A lifetime just ain't enough to love you true
Now that I found you
Now that I found you

11. _ Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
Well, I lay my head on the railroad track
Waitin' on the "double e"
But the train don't run through here no more
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me!
Woe, woe is me!
Well, I met a man out in Hollywood
And I ain't namin' names
But he really worked me over good
Just like Jesse James
Yes, he really worked me over good
He was a credit to his gender
He put me through some changes
Lord, sorta like a waring blender
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me!
Woe, woe is me!
Well, I met a boy in the Vieux-Carres
Down in Yokahoma
He picked me up and he threw me down
Sayin', "please don't hurt me, mama"
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Oh, these boys won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me!
Woe, woe is me!
Poor, poor pitiful me!
Poor, poor pitiful me...

12. _ I Just Wanna Be Mad
Last night we went to bed not talkin',
'Cause we'd already said too muh.
I faced the wall, you faced the window.
Bound and determined not to touch.
We've been married seven years now.
Sometimes it feels like 21.
I'm still mad at you this mornin'.
Coffee's ready if you want some.
I've been up since five, thinkin' bout me and you.
And I've got to tell you the conclusion I've come to.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
Well, now you might as well forget it.
Don't run your fingers through my hair.
Yeah, that's right, I'm bein' stubborn.
No, I don't wanna go back upstairs.
I'm gonna leave for work without a goodbye kiss.
But as I'm drivin' off, just remember this.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I'll never leave, I'll never stray.
My love for you will never change.
But I ain't ready to make up.
We'll get around to that.
I think I'm right, I think you're wrong.
I'll prob'ly give in before long.
Please don't make me smile.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.
I just wanna be mad for a while.

13. _ I Wanna Do It All
I'm sitting in traffic
For the 5th year in a row
Wasting my time
Just to get
Where I don't even wanna go
I started jaunting things down
On a krispy kreme sack
Everything I'd do
If I could leave this place
And never look back
I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all
I want to drink tequila
Down in Tijuana
Say why not
When somebody says
Hey do you wanna
I wanna get my heart broke
Once or twice
Settle down with the love of my life
Rock little babies to sleep at night
I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all
I wanna stand today
Every now and then
Just doing what I want to do
When I wanna do it
Anytime I wanna do it
I wanna do it all
Visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankee's play ball
I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads
Down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition
Lay down the law
I wanna do it all
See Niagara falls
Fight city hall
Feel good in my skin
Beating the odds
With my back to the wall
Trying to rob Peter
Without paying Paul
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all
I wanna do it all

14. _ You're Easy On The Eyes
Should've known it was you
Knocking on my door
At a half past a heartache, quarter to four
Were you starting to worry I was finally getting over you?
I almost forgot you looked so fine
If you told me some lies it'd be like old times
Just getting to see you is almost worth the things you do
You're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are
Better say goodbye before we go too far
Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
I've got to admit you've got a smile
That really reeled me in for a while
But it ain't funny, honey what you put me through
So why don't you send me your photograph?
It would hurt a lot less than taking you back
Then I could still have my favorite part of you
You're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are
Better say goodbye before we go too far
Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
You look so good but the way things look ain't the way the are
Better say goodbye before we go too far
Cause now I realize you're easy on the eyes
Hard on the heart
