In my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer The sunset sighs and slowly disappears These trinkets once were treasure Life changes like the weather You grow up, grow old or hit the road 'round here So I drive, watching white lines passing by With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us Hey, hey, I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go Out on this open road It's independence day on this lost highway I don't know where I'm going But I know where I've been Now I'm afraid of going back again So I drive, years and miles are flying by And waiting there to great us Is my plastic dashboard Jesus Oh patron saint of lonely souls To tell this boy which way to go Guide the car, you got the keys Farewell to mediocrity Kicking off the cruise-control And turning up the radio Got just enough religion And a half tank of gas come on, let's go I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas there ain't no brakes on the lost highway Yeah I'm busting loose, I'm letting go Out on this open road It's independence day on this lost highway |

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head I got an old coat for a pillow And the earth was last night's bed I don't know where I'm going Only God knows where I've been I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind When you're brought into this world They say you're born in sin Well at least they gave me something I didn't have to steal or have to win Well they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah I'm a wanted man I'm colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can I'm going down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm no one's son Call me young gun You ask about my consience And I offer you my soul You ask If I'll grow to be a wise man Well I ask if I'll grow old You ask me if I known love And what it's like to sing songs in the rain Well,I've seen love come And I've seen it shot down I've seen it die in vain Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth 'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood I'm the devil's son Call me young gun Each night I go to bed I pray the Lord my soul to keep No I ain't looking for forgiveness But before I'm six foot deep Lord,I got to ask a favor And I'll hope you'll understand 'Cause I've lived life to the fullest Let the boy die like a man Staring down the bullet Let me make my final stand Shot down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth I'm going out in a blaze of glory Lord I never drew first But I drew first blood and I'm no one's son Call me young gun I'm a young gun |

This romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood It's nothing but some feelings That this old dog kicked up It's been raining since you left me Now I'm drowning in the flood You see I've always been a fighter But without you I give up Now I can't sing a love song Like the way it's meant to be Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore But baby, that's just me And I will love you, baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always I'll be there till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind And I'll love you - Always Now your pictures that you left behind Are just memories of a different life Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry One that made you have to say goodbye What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair To touch your lips, to hold you near When you say your prayers try to understand I've made mistakes, I'm just a man When he holds you close, when he pulls you near When he says the words you've been needing to hear I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine To say to you till the end of time Yeah, I will love you baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always If you told me to cry for you I could If you told me to die for you I would Take a look at my face There's no price I won't pay To say these words to you Well, there ain't no luck In these loaded dice But baby if you give me just one more try We can pack up our old dreams And our old lives We'll find a place where the sun still shines And I will love you, baby - Always And I'll be there forever and a day - Always I'll be there till the stars don't shine Till the heavens burst and The words don't rhyme And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind And I'll love you - Always |

You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes They burn with fire Until the end of time I would do anything I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die To have you in these arms tonight Baby I want you Like the roses want the rain You know I need you Like a poet needs the pain I would give anything My blood, my love, my life If you were in these arms tonight I'd hold you I'd need you I'd get down on my knees for you And make everything alright If you were in these arms I'd love you I'd please you I'd tell you that I'd never leave you And love you 'til the end of time If you were in these arms tonight We stared at the sun And we made a promise A promise this world would never blind us And these were our words Our words were our songs Our songs are our prayers These prayers keep me strong and I still believe If you were in these arms I'd hold you I'd need you I'd get down on my knees for you And make everything alright If you were in these arms I'd love you I'd please you I'd tell you that I'd never leave you And love you 'til the end of time If you were in these arms tonight Your clothes are still scattered All over our room This whole place still smells like Your cheap perfume Everything here reminds me of you And there's nothing That I wouldn't do... And these were our words They keep me strong, baby! I'd hold you I'd need you I'd get down on my knees for you And make everything alright If you were in these arms I'd love you I'd please you I'd tell you that I'd never leave you And love you 'til the end of time If you were in these arms... tonight If you were in these arms... tonight If you were in these arms... tonight If you were in these arms... |

I can still remember
When I was just a kid When friends were friends forever And what you said was what you did Well, it was me and Danny and Bobby We cut each other's hands And held tight to a promise Only brothers understand But we were so young (so young) One for all and all for one (for one) Just as sure as the river's gonna run Blood on blood One on one We'd still be standing When all was said and done Blood on blood One on one And I'll be here for you Till Kingdom come Blood on blood Well, Bobby was our hero Cause he had a fake I.D. I got busted stealing cigarettes And he took the rap for me Danny knew this white trash girl We each threw in a ten She took us to this cheap motel And turned us into men We were so young (so young) One for all and all for one (for one) Just as sure as the river's gonna run Blood on blood One on one We'd still be standing When all is said and done Blood on blood One on one And I'll be here for you Till Kingdom come Blood on blood [Solo] Now Bobby, he's an uptown lawyer Danny, he's a medicin man And me, I'm just the singer In a long haired rock'n'roll band Through the years and miles between us It's been a long and lonely ride But if I got a call in the dead of the night I'd be right by your side Blood on blood, blood on blood Blood on blood One on one We'd still be standing When all is said and done Blood on blood One on one And I'll be here for you Till Kingdom come Blood on blood Blood on blood |

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white? Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand. Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man? My daddy lived the lie, that's just the price that he paid Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away. Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams, Let me be the first to shake a helping hand. Anybody brave enough to take a stand, I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street, Looking for forgiveness, what's left to believe? Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. [Guitar Solo] Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. When The world keeps trying, to drag me down, I gotta raise my hands, I'm gonna stand my ground. Well I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day Have A Nice Day |

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home [Chorus:] I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive Wanted dead or alive Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days And the people I meet always go their separate ways Sometimes you tell the day By the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone all you do is think [Chorus] I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride I'm wanted dead or alive I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side I'm wanted dead or alive And I ride, dead or alive I still drive, dead or alive Dead or alive [x4] |

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell Chains of love got a hold on me When passion's a prison, you can't break free You're a loaded gun There's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done [Chorus:] Shot through the heart And you're to blame You give love a bad name I play my part and you play your game You give love a bad name You give love a bad name Paint your smile on your lips Blood red nails on your fingertips A school boy's dream, you act so shy Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye You're a loaded gun There's nowhere to run No one can save me The damage is done [Chorus] |

On the street where you live girls talk about their social lives
They're made of lipstick, plastic and paint, a touch of sable in their eyes All your life all you've asked when's your Daddy gonna talk to you You were living in another world tryin' to get your message through. No one heard a single word you said. They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your heart. [Chorus:] Ooh, she's a little runaway. Daddy's girl learned fast All those things he couldn't say. Ooh, she's a little runaway. A different line every night guaranteed to blow your mind See you out on the streets, call me for a wild time So you sit home alone 'cause there's nothing left that you can do There's only pictures hung in the shadows left there to look at you You know she likes the lights at nights on the neon Broadway signs She don't really mind, it's only love she hoped to find [Repeat chorus] No one heard a single word she said They should have seen it in your eyes What was going around your heart Ooh, she's a little runaway Daddy's girl learned fast All those things he couldn't say Ooh, she's a little runaway Daddy's girl learned fast Now she was the night away Ooh, she's a little runaway Daddy's girl learned fast All those things he couldn't say Ooh, she's a little runaway Daddy's girl learned fast Now she was the night away |

Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head And some blond gave me nightmares I think that she's still in my bed As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love and the truth and what you mean to me And the truth is baby you're all that I need I want to lay you on a bed of roses For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses Well I'm so far away That each step that I take is on my way home A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night Just to see through this payphone Still I run out of time Or it's hard to get through Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true I want to lay you down on a bed of roses For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked And she's giving me the eye I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died When you close your eyes Know I'll be thinking about you While my mistress she calls me To stand in her spotlight again Tonite I won't be alone But you know that don't Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove For it's you that I'd die to defend I want to lay you down on a bed of roses For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses |
