1. _ Some people change
His old man was a rebel yeller, that boy to the bone, and say can |
2. _ I go back
"Jack and Diane" painted a picture of my life and my dreams,
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause everytime I hear that song...
I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy
Drivin my first love out to the levvy
Livin life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Everytime I hear that song, I go back
I used to rock all night long to "Keep On Rockin Me Baby"
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin to impress the ladies
I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause everytime I hear that song....
I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
The taste of salt on the Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and I do recall
Wishin time would stop right in its tracks
Everytime I hear that song, I go back, I go back
We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time
So I go back to a pew,preacher, and a choir
Singin bout God, brimstone, and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church
And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Everytime I hear that song, I go back....

3. _ Outta Here
Lets leave town on a permanent vacation.
Lock up the house, pack up the station wagon.
Make paradise our final destination.
As long as we're outta here.
There ain't no time like the president say.
Lets cruse all the way down A 1 A.
Put the top down and catch a few rays.
And baby we'll be outta here.
(Chorus)
Anywhere you want to go.
As long as there's sunny weather.
Let the time fly by, I don't mind.
As long as we're together.
South of the border there's a place I know.
Where James Taylor sang about Mexico.
And the sun's so hot, we'll forget to go home.
And baby we'll be outta here.
(Chorus)
Maybe drive to the country,down to the lake.
See if the catfish are jumpin', set out bay.
And if we come up dry, we'll just sleep in late.
At least we'll we outta here.
As long as we're outta her.
Baby, lets get outta here.
Outta here.
Come on baby, lets get outta here.
Cruse down A 1 A.
Go hang out in Key West for a little while.

4. _ The woman with you
She hit the door, 6:55
Sack full of grociers, split down the side
Can goods scatterd all the way to the curb
The look on her face saying don't say a word,
So its me and her and can of beans,
Sitting there on the front porch swing,
Western sky all turn'n red,
Head on my shoulder and she silent said,
I 've Been gophering, cheufering company chairman,
coffee maker , Copy repair man
any more there ain't nothing I swear man
That I don't do
I've been juggle'n, struggle'n close'n big deals
Danceing backwards in high heels
Just when it feels, that I can't make it though
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you
She said, the girl I was with a bussiness degree,
You probably would'nt recogonize me
I was going to bank I was going to run the mountian
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath
Back then you know I had this plan
Before all this reality set in
here comes life boy ready or not
hey I wanted it all and thats what I got
I 've Been gophering, cheufering company chairman,
coffee maker , Copy repair man
any more there ain't nothing I swear man
That I don't do
I've been juggling, struggling close'n big deals
Dance'n backwards in high heels
Just when it feels, that I can't make it though
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you
The woman with you

6. _ Please come to boston
Please come to Boston
For the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends
And they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said no, boy you come home to me
Chorus:
(And) She said, hey ramblin' boy
Why don't you settle down
(Boston, Denver, L.A.) ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold
And there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan
Of the band from Tennessee
Please come to Denver
To see the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains
So far that we can't be found
And throw I love you echos
Down the canyons
And then lie awake at night
Until they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said no boy you come home to me
Repeat Chorus:
Now that drifter's world
Goes round and round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
And of all the dreams
I lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I need somebody I can cling to
Somebody he can sing to
He said please come to L.A.
To live forever
A California life alone
Is just too hard to live
We'll live in a house that
Looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars
That fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to L.A.
She just said no
Boy, you come home to me
Repeat Chorus
I'm the number one fan
of the man from Tennessee

7. _ Old Blue Chair
There's a blue rockin' chair
Sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms
And well-oiled hands
It sways back and forth
With the help of the winds
And seems to always be there like an old trusted friend
I've read a lot of books
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's goin' where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus winshield
But nothing compares
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it when I sit in that Old Blue Chair
From that chair I've caught
A few fish and some rays
And I've watched boats sail
In and out of cinnamon bays
I let go of a lover
That took a piece of my heart
Prayed many times for forgiveness
And a brand new start
I've read a lot of books
Wrote a few songs
Looked at my life where it's goin' where it's gone
I've seen the world trough a bus winshield
But nothing compares
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it when I sit in that Old Blue Chair
That chair was my bead one new year's night
When I passed out from too much
Malibu and Dye
And I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites I swear
Got em' all sittin' right there in that Old Blue Chair
There's a blue rockin' chair
Sittin' in the sands
Weathered by the storms
And well-oiled hands

8. _ There goes my life
All he could think about was:
"I'm too young for this.
"Got my whole life ahead.
"Hell, I'm just a kid myself:
"How 'm I gonna raise one?"
All he could see were his dreams,
Going up in smoke.
So much for ditchin' this town,
An' hangin' out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.
And he said: "There goes my life.
"There goes my future, my everything.
"Might as well kiss it all good-bye:
"There goes my life."
A couple years of up all night,
An' a few thousand diapers later.
That mistake he thought he made,
Covers up the refrigerator:
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl.
An' Momma's waiting to tuck her in,
As she fumbles up those stairs.
She smiles back at him,
Dragging that teddy bear:
"Sleep tight." Blue eyes and bouncing curls.
An' he smiles: "There goes my life
"There goes my future, my everything."
"I love you, Daddy, goodnight."
"There goes my life."
She had that Honda loaded down,
With Abercrombie clothes,
An' and fifteen pairs of shoes,
An' his American Express.
He checked the oil and slammed the hood,
Said: "You're good to go."
She hugged them both,
An'd headed off to the west coast.
An' he cried: "There goes my life.
"There goes my future, my everything.
"I love you, baby, good-bye.
"There goes my life.
"There goes my life.
"Baby, good-bye."

9. _ When the sun goes down
sun tan toes
ticklin' the sand
cold drink chillin in my right hand
watchin the sleep in the evenin light
restin' up for a long long night
(chorus)
cause when the sun goes down
we'll be groovin
when the sun goes down
we'll be feelin alright
when the sun sinks down over the water
everything gets hotter
when the sun goes down
All day long just takin' it easy
layin' in the hammock where its nice'n breezy
and sleepin off the night before
cause when the sun goes down
we'll be back for more
(chorus)
This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
this sweet concaution is as sweet as mollasses
nothing to do but breath all day
until the big moon rises and its time to play
(chorus)2x
When the sun goes down
we'll be groovin
when the sun goes down
we'll be feelin' alright
when the sun sinks down over the water
everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
we'll be groovin
when the sun goes down
we'll be feelin' alright
when the sun sinks down over the water
she thinks Krackers sexy
when the sun goes down
hmmm
We'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Uncle Kennys hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down all we'll be groovin
when the sun goes down hey Uncle Kenny
when the sun goes down over the water
everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

10. _ Anything but mine
Walking alone beneath the lights of that miracle mile, me and Mary making our way into the
night, you can here the cries from the carnival rides, the pin ball bells, and the ski ball slides,
watching the summer sun fall out of sight, there |
11. _ Live Those Songs
Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin to himself about Vietnam
About the tour he did and the deal he got
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.
Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreens
With a new haircut and a Bachelor's Degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again.
He said This world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I'd tell you where I'd be
I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on a Panama beach
In the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

When The drunk part was over it hurt me like hell now i know about drinkin so i know one

13. _ What I Need to Do
I keep tellin myself this is the right thing to do
I was wastin her time, waitin on dreams that just weren't comin true
And this old highway seems to understand
Leadin me on to somewhere that no one knows my name
I got the window rolled down, i got the radio up
I'm doin all that i can to get my mind off us
What i need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as i can til i see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry i am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But i drive on, and on, and on
Eighty-seven more miles gets me into baton rogue
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that i can do
Or maybe head up north to knoxville, tennessee
I know my baby sister, has got a couch where i can sleep
Now the sun's goin down on my broken heart
Lord, i gotta get bak before i go too far
What i need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as i can til i see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry i am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But i drive on, and on, and on
But i drive on
Yes i drive on, and on, and on
Knowin what i need to do
Girl, i'm comin home to you
Knowin what i need to do
Girl i'm comin home to you
I'm comin home to you
Knowin what i need to do....

14. _ When I Think About Leaving
You know some times me and my lady have these crazy fights and when we do it makes me wonder
Are we're ever gonna get it right
When I think about leaving I think about me
What my life would be like if I were back to being free
Go where I wanna go, do what I wanna do, wouldn't have a soul I had to answer to
When I think about leaving I think about me
You know I got a friend him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye he had all he could
Stand one day and just packed up and said good-bye
When I think about leaving I think about him
That little apartment cross town he's living in
Got an old corvette, got a new girlfriend, but only sees his kids every other weekend
When I think about leaving oh I think about him
I never will forget her face or the day she told me about her dad, how he walked out on her
And her mom when she was just a kid
When I think about leaving oh I think about her
Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt
With her little arms wrapped around his neck saying daddy where you going, are you coming
Back
When I think about leaving I think about her
You know the truth is, most of the time things were really great and I know we got something
Special
When I think about leaving I think about us
How we build this love we share on faith and trust, honest way we talk, tender way we touch,
All those nights we spent making love,
When I think about leaving oh I think about us
When I think about leaving I think again
Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then
In my heart I know I would never leave, there's nowhere else on earth I would rather be
When I think about leaving I think again
When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving:I think again
