She was an American girl
Raised on promises She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life Somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to And if she had to die tryin' She had one little promise she was gonna keep Oh yeah, all right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl It was kind of cold that night She stood alone on the balcony She could hear the cars roll by Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach And for one desperate moment there She crept back in her memory God, it's so painful when something that's so close Is still so far out of reach |

"Today, medical science recognizes
That some folks aren't helped by relaxing exercizes. In cases of difficult tension, And nervous apprehension, Doctors are now prescribing medicine. It makes those who fear they're about to quit Feel like they're ready to begin. Bidding their darkened spirits goodbye For the calming peace of a cloudless sky." |

We had none of that crap back in 1970 We didn't know about the World Wide Web It was a whole different game being played Back when I was a kid You wanna get down in a cool way? Picture yourself on a beautiful day With the big bell bottoms and groovy long hair Justa walking in style With a portable CD player No you would listen to the music on the AM radio Yeah you could hear the music on the AM radio Flashback to '72 Another summer in the neighborhood Hanging out with nothing to do Sometimes we'd go driving around In my sister's Pinto Cruising with the windows rolled down We'd listen to the radio station We were too damn poor to buy The 8 track tapes There wasn't any good time To want to be inside My mom would want to watch that TV All god damn night I'd be in bed with the radio on I would listen to it all night long Just to hear my favorite song You'd have to wait but You could hear it on the AM radio Yeah you could hear the music on the AM radio I can still hear mama say, "Boy, turn that radio down!" Things changed back in '75 We were all growing up On the in and the outside We got in trouble with the police man We got busted getting high In the back of my friend's van I remember 1977 I started going to concerts And I saw the Led Zeppelin I got a guitar on Christmas Day I dreamed that Jimmy Page would Come to Santa Monica And teach me to play! There isn't any other place That I need to go There isn't anything I need to know That I did not learn from the radio Yeah when things get stupid And I just don't know Where to find my happy I listen to the music from the AM radio You could hear the music on the AM radio You could hear the music on the AM radio I like pop, I like soul I like rock but I never liked disco(x2) We like pop, we like soul We like to rock but we never liked disco I never liked disco No I never like disco |

We were living the life almost every night I would wrap you in my thin white arms We'd sit and watch the stars die Do you remember when we were the losers? Do you remember when we were the lame? Do you remember when we were the lovers? Do you remember? Do you remember? Do you remember when we were strung out? Eating top ramen and macaroni and cheese We would get so lost in that basement room And let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep I wish I had one more life *I don't want to be wasted I don't want to live Inside this daydream anymore I just want to be happy again **I don't want to be wasted I don't want to be (blind) (x3) I wish I could be like all my heroes I wish I could be like all yours too I wish I could sing like Otis Redding I wish I could play this guitar in tune Do you remember when we were hungry? Do you remember when we were cold? Do you remember when we were Happy in a way, no one outside could ever know I wish I had one more life How I wish I had one more life to live *Repeat(x2) **Repeat Oh I don't want to be blind |

The only thing that
ever made sense to me Is the words to a song from an American movie The only thing that ever made sense in my life, ooh Is the sound of my little girl laughing Through the window of a summer night I sit alone in the backyard Wishing I could be inside Just the sound of my little girl laughing Makes me happy just to be alive It makes me happy just to be alive It makes me happy just to be alive It makes me happy just to be alive |

One, two, three
Two, two, three *You know I love you baby And I know you love me too But the fun that day Didn't start until We left on our honeymoon We stepped off the plane Into a warm sunny day And then we got leid together The sun shines down On a Hana lei town Where the fish all smile 'Cause they know us Our wedding day Was warm and sunny Our friends and family Came out of town We said I do Then ate some food And smiled until the sun went down We'll take the Zodiac Cadillac Around the north shore Then we'll head back The sea turtles come to greet us So let's get loaded tonight We'll drink on the flight back home The honeymoon is over *Repeat We're on our honeymoon We're on our honeymoon The fun that day didn't start until We left on our honeymoon |

Baby go to bed, and put out the light
We both know if we talk anymore We are going to end up In a green big fight You can have your way again Yeah you believe What you want to believe You can walk all over me tomorrow But tonight, can't we both Just pretend to sleep I think we're headed for a big fall I think we're headed for a bad time I'm going to go downstairs And sit in that chair you like *I want to put a John Prine record on Yes I need to slow down for a while Yeah I wish we had never bought A king size bed The only damn thing That it's ever been good for Is plenty room for a real good sex I lay in bed in the dark And all that I can see is the distance That grows between us You seem so far from me I think we are headed For a real big fall Yes I think we are headed For a bad time I'm going to downstairs I'm going to sit by myself All alone in the middle of the night *Repeat I'm going to go downstairs Smoke cigarettes in that Thrift store chair you like *Repeat We need to slow down for a while (x3) |

He is a bad ass guy Who just happens to be A really good friend of mine Everyone I know...yeah Who knows Spike too Would agree when I say the words That Spike is cool The problem with my friend Spike He has fallen into a true love with a nice girl Who has gotta lot of tattoos He always talks crazy Whenever she calls He always talks like a baby It's obvious now... She has got him by the balls She has got him by the balls...

Walking wounded with a belly
full of pain And a big bad attitude We are shaking shadows for that perfect dark room Where we can do just what we want to do There is a place... Where we can leave behind All those simple minds They would not like the way we live When we are all alone In this house that we call home You will become my misery whip (yes...I said like a misery whip) Walking hungry with a pocket full of promise And a big black song in my head I know the answers to my questions They are purple black and blue And they are waiting for me in my bed There is a place... Where we can leave behind All those simple minds They would not like they way we live When we are all alone In this house that we call home You will become my misery whip (I will say it again... like a misery whip) Stop! I get no pleasure When I'm going through the motions Of my mediocre day to day I'm just an actor Just like Robert fucking Redford When I say those stupid words That they expect me to say Yes we can leave behind All those simple minds They would not like the dirty things we do Yeah When we are all alone In this house that we call home... I will fall down like a bitch for you I need you to hit me and make me Shake I need you to hurt me and make me Beg for more I need you to bend me and make me Break I need you to make me feel like I am your whore I feel complete when I feel sick inside I need to feel like I am real inside I need to feel like I am really alive I need you to make me feel I need you to hit me and make me Shake I need you to hurt me and make me Beg for more I need you to bend me and make me Break I need you to make me feel Like we can leave behind All those simple minds They would not like the way we live When we are all alone In this house that we call home You will become my misery whip You will become my misery whip You will become my friend |

Out of my depth
Lost in the air Falling faster Like a broken elevator Out of my depth Lost in the dark Waiting for the other shoe To come down hard I cannot communicate Like I wish I could I do not deal with my problems Like I know I should I am out of my depth I am out of my league Watching everything...just Slip away from me Something bad is going to happen I can feel it deep inside There are shadows all around me Like a bad moon on the rise I am in over my head I am in too deep here over my head I guess I should keep my opinions to myself I guess I am out of my depth Out of my depth Right from the start I feel like I was born With an invisible heart Out of my depth Seems like everyday I can't find the words To make the good things Come my way I feel like I am faking it I feel like I am wrong I feel like I'm a guest ...like I just do not belong I am out of my depth Every single day I just cannot find the words To make my monsters go away Something bad is going to happen I can feel it deep inside There are shadows all around me Like a bad moon on the rise I am in too deep here over my head I should seek some professional help Because I'm out of my depth Yes, I'm out of my depth And I am slowly going out of my mind Oh, go away Make them go away Someday I know I will make them go away Make them go away Make them go away Someday I know...I will make my monsters go away I am in over my head I should seek some professional help I should keep my opinions to myself I guess I am out of my depth I am out of my depth Yes, I am slowly going out of my mind |

It can come from out of nowhere,
hit you when you're safe and warm. Take it easy, my star your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come. Yeah, you got those crazy blue eyes. You got those crazy blues. All those pretty smiles, I can see them laughing at you. Your time is gonna come, your time is gonna come. I don't wanna be your punching bag, your complacent little princess all tragic and sad. I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore. Yeah, you say you got this bad thing, you say you've got it bad. You have broken every heart of every friend you've ever had. Yeah, the time is gonna come when all your friends just go away. I wonder why you stick around, sometimes I wish you would leave. You say you love me forever, then you spit on me. Your time is gonna come, I swear your time is gonna come. I don't want to be your whipping boy. Yes, your happy little loser, someone you can ignore. I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me anymore. I'm not gonna let you hurt me anymore. I'm not gonna let you hit me anymore. No, I will not let you kick me anymore. I will not let you overwhelm me anymore. It can come from out of nowhere. I don't want to be your simple saving grace, just another little victim with a happy face. Someday, someday soon, somebody's gonna come, I hope they do this to you. I'm not gonna let you overwhelm me. I will not let you hurt me anymore. No, I will not let you hit me anymore. I will not let you twist me anymore. No, I will not let you turn me inside out. |

We were fading
Like the bottom of a bad dream We were heading south Looking for a good time Faces look so pretty In the spotlight All blown out And bathed inside a world of white Sometimes I feel like I am holding it together Sometimes I feel like everything is fine Something I feel Like I'm out of control I feel like I am falling... ...like my life is on a slide Slide! It was sunny on the streets Down there by the water She was slightly out of reach A rich man's only daughter I think she slept with me Just so she could piss off her father I am elastic I am easy with the damage I am estatic I am hungry for the climb Sometimes I feel Like I am falling apart... I feel like I am falling... ...like my life is on a slide Slide! I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to act my age I know it's wrong but I just can't seem To control my rage My heart is racing and I am losing my mind Sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide Those faces look so scary In the harsh light All blown out And bathed inside a world of white We were shining Like the good part of a bad time We were laughing, happy Just to be along for the ride Sometimes I feel like I am really lucky I have made it through Bruised and scarred And half alive Sometimes I feel Like I'm out of control I feel like I am falling... ...like my life is on a slide Slide! Yes I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to act my age Yes I know it's wrong but I just can't seem to control my rage My hear is racing and I am losing my mind Sometimes I feel like my life is on a slide |

Sometimes I get to a point where
I don't give a damn about anything...anymore Sometimes I get to a point where I feel numb and I just don't care Sometimes I feel like I just don't care I sit in my car and listen to the radio I think about the past and it seems so long ago I know the pain is slowly going to fade This life is going to get better (Things are going to be better) I wait until my ex-wife has gone away I walk around the house Getting lost inside the old day I see a picture where everybody's smiling... I know... I got to keep it on the inside I want to get lost from my life sometimes Sit on the side and watch the world go by I want to get lost and I don't know why Sometimes I want to get lost and I don't know why (Sometimes I want to get lost and dream for a while) Waiting for my little girl Waiting on the school bus We're going to the movies Yeah just the two of us Sit inside the dark and dream for awhile Our life is going to get better (Yeah it's going to be better) I wake up weird in the middle of the night I walk the floor until my mind gets right I think about the past and it makes me want to cry I know... I got to keep it on the inside I want to get lost from my life sometimes Sit on the side and watch the world go by I want to get lost in the dark and dream for awhile Just sit inside a dark room and dream for awhile The only thing that ever makes sense to me Is the words to a song from an American movie The only thing that ever made sense in my life Is the sound of my little girl laughing Alive and happy in the summertime I am just like everyone I know I am afraid of things that I don't know I am afraid of ever really being alone I want to find myself a brand new heart I want to find a girl and make a brand new start I want to find a girl and get lost in the dark The only thing that ever makes sense to me Is the words to a song from an American movie The only thing that ever made sense in my life Is the sound of my little girl laughing Through the window of a summer night I sit alone in the backyard Wishing I could be inside Just the sound of my little girl laughing Makes me happy just to be alive Sometimes I am happy just to be alive |

You pull me down
To the floor Of our apartment A little while later We are laughing at our carpet burns I like the way that it glows outside As the room gets darker How I wish we could stay like this While the rest of the world turns There has never been a time When I didn't want to be your boyfriend There has never been a time When I didn't want to know your name Free falling from a work in progress Free falling from a life on hold There has never been a time When I didn't want you My good lover Is my one good thing these days You help me keep it all From slipping away I swear I'm going to Marry you Someday (someday) I am all alone And it seems like All I do is wait We spend hours on the phone But it's never the same No, nothing good ever does come easy Nothing good ever comes without a fight I am all alone And I wish I was home With you tonight Yes, my good lover Is my one good thing these days You help me keep it all From slipping away I swear I'm going to Marry you Someday My girlfriend is like Magic in the hand When I lose my sparkle She's the one that understands I know I'm going to marry you someday I swear I'm going to marry you someday I swear I'm going to marry you...

Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call Strange words I heard a long long time ago I wish I could go back to the summer time I knew more than twenty years ago Can't lay between the sheets We lie underneath the maple tree Now I can't smile Lying in the grass with the wind around us As we smile and talk Listen to your Grandma Sing those country songs She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years We'd sit in the grass all summer Just to watch the autumn come around... I can't smile Now I live alone And you're so far away I call you once a year Just around the holidays I still see you in the night Lying above me in the grass... I can't smile Turn away from the pain you don't want Turning down to avoid them when they call I can't believe this letter That says you died I think I'm gonna go back to the house In North Carolina and lay in the backyard Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me Bury me... I can't smile |

Yes, I think it's safe to say
I feel good about the place That I've been made in the world today I get all sticky inside When I close my eyes And I open up wide I see pictures in the clouds So obscene I gotta laugh out loud I look back to find my way Reminisce and laugh about the good old days Yeah, when I saw my brother above me I remember the words he said When you dream you hit bottom Chances are good you're gonna wake up dead I'll be up on top when the sky falls down And it all goes wrong again Yeah, I will be sitting on top When It All Goes Wrong Again Yeah, I will be sitting on top When It all goes wrong. Yes I think it's safe to say I feel good about the sins That I inflict on my own skin I pay money to cut and burn Pictures like the lessons that I need to learn I see faces on the ceiling I see them move, I hear them singing I lay back in here by myself I think about the time that I've spent in hell When I saw my brother below me I remember the words he said When you leave you wake up happy Then you'll sleep right in your own warm bed I'll be singing in the rain when the bad dreams com And It All Goes Wrong Again Woh, I will be singing in the rain When It All Goes Wrong Again Woh, Woh I will be singing in the rain When It All Goes Wrong Where are you gonna be When it all comes down What are you gonna do When it all comes down Where are you gonna be When It all comes down What are you gonna do When it all comes down on you I'll be sitting on top of the world When It All Goes Wrong Again I'll be sitting on top of the world When It All Goes Wrong Again I'll be sitting on top when the sky falls down And It All Goes Wrong Again Woh I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again Woh, Woh I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong again Again and again I will be sitting on top when it all goes wrong Yeah, when it all goes wrong again Aw, when it all goes wrong again Oh, When it all goes wrong again When it all goes wrong again When it all goes wrong again When it all goes wrong again When it all goes wrong again When it all goes wrong again When it all goes wrong |
