There's aluminium cans an' cigarette butts
Lyin' in the sides of street Baseball field in the county park Buried in a blanket of weeds. There's a swastika sprayed from an aerosol can Displayed on the overpass Drivin' around, it's easy to see This town's goin' down real fast. Somebody should do somethin' about it How hard could it be? Somebody should do somethin' about it Maybe that someone is me. Followed a couple into Ferguson's Grille The doors swung back in my face Closed my eyes but I felt the stares When I bowed my head to say grace. Watched the table of suits stiff the waitress a tip Like they didn't have a nickel to spare Walked out in the heat risin' on Main Street But I felt the chill in the air. Somebody should do somethin' about it (Somebody, somebody) How hard could it be? Somebody should do somethin' about it (Somebody, somebody.) Maybe that someone is me. I don't expect this world to be Heaven But it sure could be better I could sit around bitchin'; stand around waitin' But I might be waitin' forever. (Forever, forever.) Somebody should do somethin' about it (Somebody, somebody) How hard could it be? Somebody should do somethin' about it (Somebody, somebody.) Maybe that someone is me... |

Someone somewhere tonight
Is taking their first steps Letting go of the hands that held them And trusting themselves An' somewhere somewhere tonight Is hearing their last rites And prayin' with all their might That there's something else. So, baby, lie down here beside me Let's lie real still An' tell me you love me And you always will. Someone somewhere tonight Is tasting their first kiss Whisp'ring softly this wish For this night to go on While someone somewhere Is holdin' on to a bottle Pourin' one more an' hopin' that God will Get them through till the dawn. So, baby, lie down here beside me An' let's lie real still An' tell me you love me And you always will, (yeah.) [Instrumental] Someone somewhere tonight Is stuck in a prison Breathin' but just barely livin' Behind walls of their own Ooh, an' someone somewhere tonight Just found their own wings An' found some beauty, an' found some meaning (They found some truth.) Found some truth in spite of it all. So, baby, lie down here beside me An' let's lie real still An' tell me you love me And you always will. And you always will... |

Postcards and letters
And pictures made to last forever To be boxed up and tossed away Knickknacks and souvenirs In an afternoon, they're out of here They'll disappear without a trace But what they mean to me Can never be replaced I can't unthink about you I can't unfeel your touch I can't unhear all the words Unsay all the things That used to mean so much I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through And finding out it's impossible to do Oh, it's no use I can't unlove you Interstates and old songs Like time they go on and on I guess I could learn to do the same I could wake up without you These two arms not around you Tell myself it's meant to be this way No matter how I try somethings I can't change I can't unthink about you I can't unfeel your touch I can't unhear all the words Unsay all the things That used to mean so much I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through And finding out it's impossible to do Oh, no Oh, it's no use I can't unlove you I wish I could unremember Everything my heart's been through And finding out it's impossible to do Oh, oh, it's no use I can't unlove you |

(feat. Don Henley)
There's a back road leadin' off the hard-top Half-a-mile past the slingshot tree Wanders round through a million mem'ries It's callin' me, callin' me. There's a white house with fading shutters The old front door that never needed a key An' I hear my Momma in the hush of the evenin' Callin' me, yeah, she's callin' me. An' no matter where I'm goin' It reminds me of where I'm from Just as long as I can hear it I know I'm not too far gone. There's a first kiss under the willow Love so honest, it was hard to believe An' even when my heart is breakin' It's callin' me, callin' me. Yes, it's callin' me (Ooh, yeah, yeah.) Callin' me, callin' me. An' no matter where I'm goin' It reminds me of where I'm from Just as long as I can hear it I know I'm not too far gone. There's a tiny country chapel Filled with voices singin' harmony An' when my soul is lost in the silence Oh, it's callin'; yes, it's callin' me. Yes it's callin' me. (Callin' me.) Callin' Oh, it's callin' Yes, it's callin' me... |

I can chop wood from dusk till dawn
I can swing a hammer till the daylight's gone I can build a barn, I can make a home with these two hands But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. I can fly a plane up in the big blue sky Blaze a trail through the woods in my four-wheel drive With a team of horses or an old John Deere, I can plough this land But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots I can run a train till it runs out of track With the weight of the world laid across my back My life still wouldn't be worth a damn If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. I can build a fire with nothin' but a stick If I put my mind to it, there ain't much I can't fix I can read an' count, I can figure things out if you give me a chance But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots I can run a train till it runs out of track With the weight of the world laid across my back An' my life still wouldn't be worth a damn. If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. Whoa, I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots I can run a train till it runs out of track With the weight of the world laid across my back. (Across my back.) But my life still wouldn't be worth a damn If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man. Ah ha. Whoa, yeah. Mmm, mm, mm... |

You took me out so far that I can't swim to shore
I've been holdin' on but you're not any more Our love would always lead us home, constant as the Northern Star Here's a storm we won't get through 'cause it's not in your heart. I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach Out there in the distance, there's something else you need If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be I can feel you drifting. In the silence that's become the company we keep I realise how far we are from what we used to be A part of you has gone somewhere that I can't seem to touch I could stay and take what's left, but, baby, that's not us. I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach Out there in the distance, there's something else you need If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be I can feel you drifting. If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be I can feel you drifting. I can feel you drifting. You're out of reach... |

The night will start to fall
You'll lie awake recalling every tender thing she said You'll think about her laugh Her touch, her smile becomes a photograph You can't forget Not just yet. You're gonna know that night When you reach out an' she's not there An' there's more pain than your heart can bear Love's just a river till you've crossed it Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong You're alive but the reason's gone You'll know love when you've lost it. You'll know the taste of tears You know you will for years, 'cause there's a treuth you can't get past Some bridges will not burn (Some bridges will not burn.) But some corners must be turned so you can love again at last And not look back. Still until that that night When you reach out an' she's not there An' there's more pain than your heart can bear Love's just a river till you've crossed it Suddenly everything in your life feels wrong You're alive but the reason's gone You'll know love when you've lost it. It's so easy to recognise You'll know love when you've lost it... |

I just sat down to watch the game when I heard the doorbell ring
An' I wondered who in the world it could be Through the peephole, all that I saw there Was a crooked cap on curly hair an' some kid squintin' back at me I said, "If you're sellin' somethin', well, I ain't buyin' nothin' But I appreciate you stoppin' by." Said: "I ain't askin' for a dime, just a minute of your time An' your name here on the dotted line Could you sign my petition?" Had a spiral notebook in his hand Handed me a chewed up pen An' I ask you: "What am I signin' up for." I scrolled down that wrinkled page Saw a couple of neighbors names I kept readin', then I sat down on the porch It was a letter to the President With a list that numbered one to ten. It said: "Make a law where Daddy's don't work late Keep Uncle Joe an' those soldiers safe Give those kids on TV all they want to eat Put a stop to bullies on the bus No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs Give a blanket and a job to people on the street." I said: "Son, sounds like a world I'd like to live in." And I signed his petition. He thanked me for my time I headed back inside, grabbed my beer An' got back to the game Thought: "By now that boy he's three doors down "Here I am just sittin' round Waitin' on the world to change." Must've blocked the whole game out All that I could think about was. "Make a law where Daddy's don't work late Keep Uncle Joe an' those soldiers safe Give those kids on TV all they want to eat Put a stop to bullies on the bus No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs Give a blanket and a job to people on the street." An' I thought: "Man, ain't that a place I'd like to live in." And I thank God for that boy that's out there fixin' The world with his petition... |

If there's a way of makin' time stand still for good
I haven't found it yet If I could love you for eternity, I would But I regret I've only got one life; I've only got one life An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart And I wish I had a hundred more to give Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do But I've only got one life to love someone like you. Can't take my eyes off you, I'm afraid of what I'll miss It goes by so fast So I'll treat each moment that I've been blessed, with you Like it's the last. I've only got one life; I've only got one life An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart And I wish I had a hundred more to give Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do But I've only got one life to love someone like you. And I've only got one life and I give it all to you... |
