I have given, I have given and got none
Still I'm driven by something I can't explain It's not a cross, it is a choice I cannot help but hear his voice I only wish that I could listen without shame Let it rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me I have been a witness to the perfect crime I Wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame It isn't worth the tears you cry To have a perfect alibi Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game Let it rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me It isn't easy to be kind With all these demons in my mind I only hope one day I'll be free I do my best not to complain My face is dirty from the strain I only hope one day I'll come clean Rain, let it rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me Come take my hand We can walk to the light And without fear We can't see through the darkest night Rain, rain on me Let it rain, oh let it rain Let it rain on me |

Virgil Spencer's got a 19 inch Hitachi
And many demons lingering Friday night, he pulled a gun to change the channel Something that he picked up from the King His wife remembers well the man she knew Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue She's wasted years No time for tears 'Cause there's another chance A someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham It's 3 am and Virgil's passed out on the sofa A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor She's packed her bags, she slips the keys out of his pocket She's careful not to slam the door And as she drives she rubs her rosary She's never been so all alone, she's never felt so free She got miles to go Blind faith and hope 'Cause there's another chance And a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham As the rain falls down upon the interstate Any doubts she had are all but washed away A long look back At Birmingham 'Cause there's another chance And a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of Birmingham Another chance And a someday soon Shining like the Alabama moon She's looking for the promised land Out beyond the lights of, yeah, yeah, Birmingham Birmingham Yeah, yeah Ooh, whoa baby Yeah, someday soon Baby, someday soon Yeah, someday soon Hey, hey, yeah Keep on driving Yeah, keep on driving baby, yeah |

Indian summer, Abeline
You were new in town, I was nineteen And the sparks flew They called us crazy behind our backs Romantic fools, we just let them laugh Because we knew It may be a long shot We may get lonely down the line Love knows no reason And I won't let 'em make up my mind My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run Stars are brighter in a desert sky No need to wonder or justify Where this will lead I wear your locket, our picture's inside Inscription says "the joy's in the ride" And I believe That something so sacred Is something worth this kind of fight 'Cause love knows no patience, no, no You can't please everyone all the time My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run So rare So sweet Together baby, I know We can disappear Be free Ooh, my money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let it run, baby My money's riding on this dark horse, baby My heart is saying it's the lucky one And it's true color's gonna shine through someday If we let this, let this dark horse run Indian summer, Abeline You were new in town, I was nineteen Yeah, baby In the summertime Hey, yeah Ooh |

I'm fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return I think I'll take another day And slowly watch it burn And it doesn't really matter How the time goes by 'Cause I still remember you and I And that beautiful goodbye We staggered through these empty streets Laughing arm in arm The night had made a mess of me Your confessions kept me warm I don't really miss you, I just need to know Do you ever think of you and I And that beautiful goodbye When I see you now I wonder how I could've watched you walk away If I let you down Please forgive me now For that beautiful goodbye In these days of no regrets I keep mine to myself And all the things we never said I can save for someone else And nothing lasts forever But we always try And I just can't help but wonder why We let it pass us by, yeah When I see you now I wonder how I could've watched you walk away If I let you down Please forgive me now For that beautiful goodbye Baby, what can I do Oh, to get through to you And sometimes I cry, yeah It's a fool's lullaby Sometimes I cry It's just a fool's lullaby I'm dying inside |

Fall From Grace
Performed by Amanda Marshall Lost inside this angeltown Lost like I could not be found No connections of the heart Love was glass that broke apart Gimme faith in dreams And someone to hold Gimme love 'cause I'm out here in the cold There are no secrets No angels at my door Chorus And oh, when you touch my hand I fall from grace And oh, when you reach for me I fall from grace On a steeltown boulevard Life's a promise that doesn't last Resurrections of the past Children come and are gone so fast So gimme faith in love Baby tonight Gimme arms to hold you here so tight There are no secrets No angels at my door Chorus repeat |

Never seen a sky so blue
I've never been happy with anyone Like I am when I'm with you Look at the sun shining up in the sky I feel a little closer to heaven, baby When I'm looking into your eyes Chorus And as long as we're together, boy I'm sitting on top of the world Wanna feel this way forever, boy I'm sitting on top of the world Last night I lay in the dark Tryin' to figure it out Tryin' to talk to my heart But now it's morning and I still don't know why All I know is that you got me feeling so good All I know is that it feels the way that true love should Ain't no one luckier than you and I Chorus And everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be But they don't understand it No, no they just can't see That I belong with you and baby Baby Baby, you belong with me Chorus repeat |

Somewhere there's a river
Looking for a stream Somewhere there's a dreamer Looking for a dream Somewhere there's a drifter Trying to find his way Somewhere someone's waiting To hear somebody say I believe in you I can't even count the ways that I believe in you And all I want to do is help you to Believe in you Somewhere someone's reaching Trying to grab that ring Somewhere there's a silent voice Learning how to sing Some of us can't move ahead We're paralyzed with fear And everybody's listening 'Cause we all need to hear I believe in you I can't even count the ways that I believe in you And all I want to do is help you to Believe in you I will hold you up I will help you stand I will comfort you when you need a friend I will be the voice that's calling out I believe in you And there are just so many ways that I believe in you Baby, what else can I do but believe in you Believe in you All I want to know is you believe, yeah, yeah Believe in you |

Somebody told me
Once in a lifetime Destiny finds you and blows you away Spins you in circles Pulls you in pieces Bleeds you like Jesus And goes on it's way But it's oh so simple sometimes Just to let your heart open wide If you wanna get Heaven Then you gotta take the ride (Chorus) Love lift me Wherever you are Convince me I'm safe in your arms Love lift me Make sense of it all Teach me to fly And don't let me fall Somebody told me Love makes you stupid Makes you go crazy Makes you go blind Comes uninvited And leaves when it wants to Calls you at midnight and ties up your line But it's oh so sweet when it's right And you swear you won't but you might Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light (Chorus) Love lift me Wherever you are Convince me I'm safe in your arms Love lift me Make sense of it all Teach me to fly And don't let me fall And when it's all said and done It's just the same for everyone Your busy making your plans Love's like a bird baby Flying out of your hands And it's oh so hard to explain (we don't know nothin') When your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try) Better batten down the hatches Here we go again (Chorus 2) Love lift me, wherever you are Convince me, I'm safe in your arms Love lift me, I'm waiting on you Cause nothing can lift me the way that you do Love lift me, love lift me Love lift me (only love can take me higher) I wanna fly... |

I don't know what I was thinking
'Til I was thinking of you I don't remember a thing before I opened my eyes and you came into view I don't know what I was doing When there was nothing to do Must've been waiting for someone, baby Now I can see, I was waiting for you I'd give up my sight just to see you I'd beg, I would borrow and steal I'd cut off my hands just to touch you And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow There's nothing that I wouldn't do 'Cause I wouldn't want to be me If I didn't have you Driving myself to distraction Until you got in my way I was just whistling Dixie 'til you Struck up the band and they started to play I don't know how I was living Until you came in my life I always knew there was something wrong Then you came along, baby, you made it right I'd give up my sight just to see you I'd beg, I would borrow and steal I'd cut off my hands just to touch you And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow There's nothing that I wouldn't do 'Cause I wouldn't want to be me If I didn't have you I was alone in the silence 'Til I was hearing your voice I couldn't see my way clear until You parted the clouds and you gave me a choice I couldn't pick up the pieces 'Til I was falling apart I didn't know I was bleeding 'Til your love fixed this hole, baby, here in my heart I'd give up my sight just to see you I'd beg, I would borrow and steal I'd cut off my hands just to touch you And tear out my heart so you'd know how I feel There's nowhere that I wouldn't follow There's no place that I'd rather be This life without you would be hollow This love is a gift, and you gave it to me All that I am, you have made me And baby, I know that it's true I'd give it all up in a heartbeat Just to spend every moment with you There's no place that I wouldn't follow There's nothing that I wouldn't do 'Cause I wouldn't want to be me If I didn't have you |

I was an August baby
Conceived by the Christmas lights I came into the world by the setting sun On a humid summer night When my grandmother held me for the very first time She thanked God I looked like my daddy And I never quite knew just what she meant But I knew she was a little too happy And now I see You can't change a stubborn mind You can't see the world if your eyes are blind What does it matter anyway In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey They got married in a tiny chapel 1965 Malcolm X was on the radio When he took her as his wife And she looked so pretty that September day And her older brother cried as he gave her away And the minister looked like he didn't know what to say And then he spoke You can't change a stubborn mind You can't see the world if your eyes are blind What does it matter anyway In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey And when my grandmother held me For the very first time She thanked God I looked like my daddy And I never gave a damn just what she meant But I knew she was a little too happy And now I see You can't change a stubborn mind You can't see the world if your eyes are blind What does it matter anyway In our darkest hour we're all just shades of grey In our darkest hour we're all just shades of Darkest hour we're all just Shades of grey Hey, Hey, Hey It doesn't matter anyway Don't give a damn Don't give a damn Don't give a damn what they say We're all just shades of grey We're all just shades of grey Shades of grey |

I woke up with a killer hangover
Hope it was worth all this pain (I'd do it all over again) By the time the party was over Tequila was my claim to fame (I couldn't remember my name) I was dancing with Jake when I last saw my keys That was my first mistake 'Cause, what happened to me? I look down at my arm, baby And something's lookin' back at me And I cannot believe it CHORUS: Oh my God!-- I woke up with a snake tattoo Oh my God!-- and I think that my tongue's pierced, too Oh my God!-- Oh my God! It's the sunday morning after And baby, who the hell are you? I remember yelling, "Hey, DJ!" "Jack the volume, I love this song!" (And then it all gets hazy) And my clothes are selling on e-bay(clickclick) And I don't know what I'm gonna put on (Where were my friends to save me?) I blacked out I came to And it's all such a blur Had a blast, I assume But I'm really not sure Exactly where am I now, baby? Wake up and tell me your name(Excuse Me?) 'Cause this is insane CHORUS Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! My alter ego took over and took me on a fantasy ride You can take me anywhere twice But the second time will be to apologize CHORUS x 2 Where am I...?, What am I...?, Who am I...?, How am I...?, How did I...?... |

What do you see when you see me?
You see my long blonde hair and the particular way that my lips are shaped That my body takes, When you talk to me What do you know when you know me? Don't file me under catagories, Your deceived You don't know me I'm not only a surface, a country What you don't know about me is CHORUS I'm a double agent on my momma's side The shit I hear you say just blows my mind Every time, recognize Though who I am to you is not a lie I don't have to volunteer and say That I was born a particular way I got not uniform, I'm camouflaged in any light Obviously you can't tell I'm a double agent on my momma's side What do you hear when you hear me? I hear you crank up Jay-Z ,it's your favorite jam And you talk with your hands like an MC Betcha never get stopped by the police You never ask me about me (no,no,no) About how I feel when you call all your white friends "Homeboy","nigga" and "homie" Oh please It hurts me And you don't see What you don't know about me is (I told you everybody's got a story.) CHORUS I am invisible (I am) Am I responsible? (I am) I'm in between it all Who is the enemy? I am part of no plan My honesty is contraband My blood is thicker than any man's What do you like when you like me? I am ingredients far beyond flour and molecules Calluses, family jewels I'm no fool We went to the same school Some of your best friends are just like me But when they're not around, you make jokes and conspire The fire gets higher and I feel the heat Rising underneath Who is more deceived? What you don't know about me is CHORUS |

I wanna laugh
Until I cry Wake up with you each day 'til the day I die Let's go to New Orleans And watch the parade Take funny pictures, eat jumbalaya, and drink lemonade And when the day is finally over And we stumble home Before we sleep Baby marry me I wanna drive Until we get lost Lie in a field staring up at the sky While you point out the southern cross Somehow I know Without asking why That you love me more in a minute Than anyone could in a lifetime Dancing in the parking lot While the band plays inside Sweep me off my feet Baby, marry me We don't need no preacher man readin' from a good book And I don't want no fancy dress Ain't no ceremony For the vows that I took From the moment I met you I have been blessed So let's make a toast And drink up the wine Here's to you lying here next to me Until the end of time Wherever you are I wanna be And anything that means anything to ya Means everything to me Sneakin' out the back door While they're throwing the rice And they'll talk for weeks But we're all we need So baby, if your free Marry me Baby, marry me marry me |

Joey D loves Lucy A
That's what the note said 5th grade He's in her row two seats behind Ten years old, the torture never ends One day at recess she pulls him aside She's taking his hand, She looks in his eyes She's steppin' in close, So no one can hear Then she whispers in his ear She says Tell me all your secrets And I won't tell anybody Pinky swear that I'm the one you love When the world is dark And you could swear you have no body Look to the sky, it's written in the stars Cross my heart Time flies to graduation They leave the party Take a drive She keeps asking where they're going He laughs and looks away, it's a surprise Out on the playground, right where they stood Down on one knee he asks if she would He gives her the ring, She starts to cry It's the first night of the rest of their lives Tell me all your secrets And I won't tell anybody Pinky swear that I'm the one you love When the world is dark And you could swear you have no body Look to the sky, it's written in the stars Cross my heart Young love gets old Real fast, In a small town When you think your life is passing you by It kills him to let her go But she wants to fly So he gives her the wings And tells her goodbye Baby Goodbye The train enters the station Track 11 on the Philadelphia line He was early now he's waiting And the people rush the doors Some are laughing Some are crying Up on the platform He scans the crowd He doesn't see her He looks all around But damned disappointment hangs like a shroud Suddenly a voice rings out Says Tell me all your secrets And I won't tell anybody Pinky swear that I'm the one you love When the world gets dark And you think you have no body Look to the sky, it's written in the stars Cross my heart Tell me all your secrets And I won't tell anybody Pinky swear that I'm the one you love When the world is dark And you could swear you have no body Look to the sky, it's written in the stars Cross my heart |
