Great White - Can't Get There From Here (2000) by Great White (보컬) on maniadb.com

All right, yeah
Sippin' down, shoutin' 'bout, yeah we used to shake it out
Those days, now I remember, when anything was all right
Someone had my video blastin' through the radio
Neighbors screamin' out "what the hell's going on here"
We were already gone, with a whole lot to go
When the police showed I told 'em "kiss my ass"
So young, livin' to die, and I was on my own
Two wrongs making a right, I was rollin' stoned
Rich is building houses, Gary's doing hard time
Jamie's in the desert and Brently's bought a gun
I saw an old photograph, all that I could do was laugh
And scratch my head in wonder
Where did all the days go?
We were already gone with nowhere to go, oh no
I was singing my songs with a heart of soul
So young, livin' to die, and I was rollin' stoned
Two wrongs making a right, I was rollin' stoned
It's a wonder I'm alive, can't believe I ever made it through that ride
Rockin' all over the night, I was rollin' stoned, yeah yeah
So young, livin' to die, and I was rollin' stoned
Two wrongs making a right, I was rollin' stoned, yeah
Damn good to be alive, wonder how I managed to survive
Rockin' all over the night, I was rollin' stoned
Stoned, stoned, stoned, yeah
Sippin' down, shoutin' 'bout
Yeah we used to shake it out
Rich is building houses, Gary's doing hard time
Brently bought a gun
Where did all the days go
Rollin' stoned, I was rollin' stoned

Ain't no line, ain't no lyin' to love
Ain't no crime, Lord there ain't no cryin' to love
Yeah to love
Well you say your sick and tired of being lonely
And you say you've had enough of sympathy
And you find there's no one there to share your midnights
Well that just ain't the way it ought to be
And it ain't no shame

Ain't no shame to be loved
And you better believe it, 'cause when you're there
There's nothing else you'd ever want to do

Ain't no shame to be loved, can't you hear me
Look inside your heart'll tell you true
All my love belongs to you

To walk the path, the path of life alone, so alone
A single light in an empty sky, so alone
When it seems there's no one there to lend a shoulder
And your nights are cold and filled with misery
Well it's time you took a look a little closer
'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be
No, ain't no shame

Well you say you're sick and tired of being lonely
And your nights are cold and filled with misery
Well it's time you took a look a little closer, a little closer
'Cause that's just ain't the way it ought to be
No, ain't no shame

Ain't no shame to be loved
And you'd better believe it cause when you're there
There's nothing else you'd ever want to do
Ain't no shame to be loved
All my love belongs to you
Ain't no shame to be loved
Ain't no shame to be loved

Every now and then I like to pick up the phone and make a call down memory lane
Well how you been? Well baby you could say I've been lonely too
I've been picking up the pieces ever since the day I left you sleeping on the motel road
I heard you had two kids got married it was quite the show

You're my one stone true regret
As I'm lying alone in my bed

On this silent night I say a little prayer for you
On this silent night I send this message through
I was wrong to run should have took a little time for life
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I'm doing time in paradise on this silent night

I remember how we touched we were young in love didn't know what was wrong or right
We just stuck to each other like the earth sticks to the sun
You taught me how to laugh I learned how to cry it was easy as one two three
We were lucky and wild back then just happy to be

Now I think about you with desire
And my heart's still full of fire

On this silent night I say a little prayer for you
On this silent night I send this message through
I was wrong to run should have took a little time for life
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I'm doing time in paradise on this silent night

In my mind I see the wind blow through your hair
I have a photograph of you and I somewhere
Painting pictures of the life that we would share
I wear this badge of sorrow but how was I to know
I found the truth comes easy when you live in the light I guess it only goes to show
So you think I'm crazy 'cause I feel this way

Going to pick myself up off the ground
And I'll turn it around

On this silent night I say a little prayer for you
On this silent night I send this message through
I was wrong to run should have took a little time for life
'Cause loneliness is no repayment for sacrifice
I guess it's time to say goodbye on this silent night
On this silent night
On this silent night

Sometimes I wonder how I'm going to pay the rent
All I do is work my fingers to the bone
No time to rest no doubt I think I'm a fool
I used to think I couldn't get out of this
Stuck in a race car out of control
Man and I was doing about a hundred and five then I met you

And then I blinked
You taught me to think
I owe it all to you

My my rain
You got me singing along to the radio
You nailed my brain
I call you Saint Lorraine

You put out the trash cleaned up my living room
Took me to bed now I'll never be the same
Brought out the man that a must have been hiding
There's two kinds of lovers one that takes and one that gives
Sometimes I shudder thinking how I've been used
I found my rhythm you'll never catch me singing no blues oh no

Sometimes I think
About how you caught me with a wink
I give it all to you

My my rain
You got me singing along to the radio
You nailed my brain
I call you Saint Lorraine

My my rain
You got me rocking along I'll never let you go
You took my pain
I call you Saint Lorraine

Yes I do
Yes I do

And then you caught me with a wink I'll never let you go
I'm rocking all night long

Sometimes I wonder how I'm going to pay the rent
I used to think I'll never get out of this
And then I blinked and you took me out of that

My my rain
You got me singing along to the radio
You nailed my brain
I call you Saint Lorraine

Thank you very much Lorraine
You got me rocking along I'll never let you go
You took my pain
I call you Saint Lorraine
Saint Lorraine
Saint Lorraine
Saint Lorraine

Here I am
Hearing the same old good advice
Surrounded by fools
Who could swear each heart loves twice
I can't pretend everything's good
Believe me I wish that I could

I can't fake a smile through the evening
I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me but it has to be
In the tradition of love gone wrong

I've noticed today
I have one less friend to call
And no one to tell me it's all right
As my world starts to fall
I'm doing the best that I can
And I've had all the help I can stand

I can't fake a smile through the evening
I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me but it has to be
In the tradition of love gone wrong

I'm ready to crash yes I am
But I'll hide it the best that I can

I can't fake a smile through the evening
I'll probably crack if the pain's too strong
Play a song for me but it has to be
In the tradition of love gone wrong
In the tradition of love gone wrong

Here am I talking at the sky thinking about it all
I sometimes wonder at the way my life has gone
"Hey boy you stop that running" I heard it from a friend just today
But as he spoke my heart was miles away

So get that old train rolling come on mister engineer
Need a freedom song to call my own take me on away from here

Met a girl in California she asked me if I would stay
And if I could for anyone you know it babe
But soon I got that same old feeling and I tried to make some sense of it all
Well baby I've been moving far too long

So get that old train rolling honey wipe away your tears
Got a freedom song to call my own take me on away from here

Hearing that whistle blowing reminds me of the good old days
Back on the road where I belong again again
Something to live for the freedom I need
Got to keep the dream alive now got to keep a piece of me

So get that old train rolling head it on away from here
Back on the road where I belong honey wipe away your tears
Hearing that old whistle blowing reminds me of a brand new day
A freedom song for everyone back on the road to stay
Give me a freedom song

I see the sun coming yeah but I can't sleep
I swim against the tide until I'm drowning in the deep end
Rushing to the rhythm of a racing heart
The more you get the more you want the more it takes to please you

I'm feeling so alive
Only the truth to hide

Gone to the dogs that's right
Gone to the dogs that's what I say

Never had a lover keep a leash on me
But keep that tail a wagging till the next time I see you
Dance under the moon until the morning light
Honey don't you fake me come on shake me baby take me tonight

I'm feeling so alive
Only the truth to hide

Gone to the dogs
Gone to the dogs listen what I say
Gone to the dogs that's right

I'm feeling so alive
Only the truth to hide

Gone to the dogs that's right
Gone to the dogs listen what I say
I'm doggone gone gone to the dogs
The dogs the dogs the doggone dogs
Gone gone gone

Down the road in my car
A wooden Jesus on my dashboard
Go to work to stay alive
I'm just a sinner trying to survive
We commit all those deadly sins
But I don't worry 'cause I got my friend

I got my wooden Jesus in my car
He's always with me never too far
My wooden Jesus forgives me
I'm a sinner that's why I believe
In my wooden jesus

Wake up in the morning sun
On my dresser got another one
Say a prayer to start my day
Maybe the big man will show me the way
A money maker down in east LA
Stamping them out ten thousand a day

I got a wooden Jesus in my car
He's always with me never too far
My wooden jesus he's my friend
I've been a lion laying down with the lamb
I got my friend got my soul
Why he forgives me god only knows
'Cause he's a wooden Jesus wooden Jesus wooden Jesus

Lord take me on away from here
Take me down the road to salvation
Help me jesus try to find my way
Send me a revelation

I got to wooden Jesus in my car
Got him sitting on my dashboard
Wooden Jesus shows the way
He keeps me ready for that judgement day
He's my wooden Jesus forgiving me
I need a savior so I try to believe
In my wooden Jesus doesn't mind
He always loves me he's my kind
Of wooden Jesus wooden Jesus wooden Jesus

Ten thousand maybe more
Wrapped with string on a cheap old board
Cast iron believe me
Five ninety five will buy your reprieve
Wooden Jesus
He's my friend show me the way
Keep me ready for that judgement day
Wooden jesus

When I was younger I trusted fate to pave the way
Love was so easy just a game that children play
No time out for changes all my days are darkened dreams
Now there ain't nothing and nothing's what it seems
You know heartache comes full circle has the past returned again again?

I'm upside down I don't understand you any more
Is it somebody else I see walking through my door?
No more lies on the table no more pictures on the wall
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age

Night brings no comfort a rider on the storm
Looking for reason in the face of destiny
'Cause faith has no meaning in a broken dream
Where there ain't no one and no one's who they seem
You know heartache comes full circle and the scars on the soul never fade

I'm upside down I don't understand you any more
Is it somebody else I see walking through my door?
No more lies on the table no more pictures on the wall
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age

I don't want you what I need
Is the touch of a woman who won't try to make me bleed
Maybe i'm crazy yeah baby that's me
No no no no no no don't go dragging me down
And then leave me to drown in this loveless age

I'm upside down I don't understand you any more
Is it somebody else I see walking through my door?
No more lies on the table no more pictures on the wall
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age
Living in a loveless age
It's not that easy in a loveless age
No more no more in a loveless age
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age
Feel like I'm living in a loveless age

Looking back there's nothing left to say
Wishing that this life would slowly fade away
Dreams behind these eyes no one could know
But wake to find there's nowhere left to go

Hey mister can't you see I'm feeling so alone?
But then I don't think you'd understand
All I ever wanted was to live life unafraid
All I ever needed was some love

Stories told on weary cardboard signs
Eulogise the lives now left behind
Faces worn and etched with all despair
Passers by they look but seldom care

Hey mister can't you see the ring around the moon?
Maybe it's the water in my eyes
All I ever wanted was to live life unashamed
All I ever needed was some love

Living on the edge of sanity
Wondering how this ever came to be
Feeling so unnecessary got to find some sanctuary
Hey buddy can you spare a dime?

Hey mister can't you see i'm feeling so abused?
But really I don't think you'd understand
All I ever wanted was to live life what I mean is
All I ever needed was someone

Hey mister
Hey mister can't you see I'm just a man like you?
Who's trying hard to keep his dignity
Maybe if you could just walk a mile inside my shoes
You'd see that I just need a helping hand

Hey mister please begging on my knees
Can anybody help me find my way?
