1.Always
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
1-Yeah I, will love you, baby
Always and i'll be there
Forever and a day, always
2-I'll be there, till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
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 thru your hair
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 these words are mine, to say to you
'Til the end of time (rpt 1)
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
(rpt 1,2)
2.BAD MEDICINE
I ain't got a fever
Got a permanent disease
It'll take more than a doctor
To prescribe a remedy
I got lots of money
But it isn't what I need
Gonna take more than a shot
To get this poison out of me
I got all the symptoms
Count 'em 1,2,3
First you need
That's what you get for
Falling in love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's
Never enough
On your knees
That's what you get for falling
In love
And now this boy's addicted
Cause your kiss is the drug
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up, just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can
Cure my disease
I don't need no needle
To be giving me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia
Or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction
It doesn't leave a track
I got a jones for your affection
Like a monkey on my back
There ain't no paramedic
Gonna save this heart attack
When you need
That's what you get for falling
In love
Then you bleed
You get a little but it's
Never enough
On your knees
That's what you get for falling
In love
Now I'm addicted and your
Kiss is the drug
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up just like
Bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby
Cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
Bad, bad medicine
I need a respirator
Cause I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator
Wrapped in blockings and a dress
When you find your medicine
You take what you can get
Cause if there's something better
Baby well
They haven't found it yet
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that
Can cure my disease
Your love is like bad medicine
Bad medicine is what I need
Shake it up just like bad medicine
Your love is the potion that
Can cure my disease
3.Bed Of Roses
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 am dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss this 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 down on a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I am so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give 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
(Chorus)
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 spot light again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I am not Lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd to defend
4.BLAZE OF GLORY
I wake up in the morning
and I raise my weary head
I've 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 a 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 out 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 conscience
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've 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
Solo
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 hope you'll understand
'Cause I've live life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a 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 blood
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun
5.Born to be my baby
Rainy night and we worked all day
We both got jobs cause there's
Bills to pay
We got something they can't
Take away
Our love , our lives
Close the door ,leave the cold outside
I don't need nothing when i'm by your side
We got somthing that'll never die
Our dreams, our pride
My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh,one to one
Flesh to flesh,one to one
And it's alright
And i'll never let go cause
There is something i know deep inside
You were born to be my baby
And baby , I was made to be your man
We got somrthing to believe in
Even if we don't know
Where we stand
Only God would know the reasons
But i bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby , I was made to be your man
Light a condle ,blow the world away
Table for two on a TV tray
It ain't fancy ,baby that's okay
Our time,our way
So hold me close
Better hang on tight
Buckle up,baby'it's bumpy ride
We're two kids hitching down
We're two kids hitching down
The road of life
Our world our fight
If we stand side by side (all night )
There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright)
And i'll know that's you'll be live
In my heart till the day that i die
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby,i was made to be your man
We got something to believe in
Even if we don't know
Where we stand
Only God would know the reason
But i bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, i was made to be your man
My heart beats like a drum (all night)
Flesh to flesh,one to one
And it's alright
And i'll never let go cause

Only God would know the reason
But i bet he must have had a plan
Cause you were born to be my baby
And baby, i was made to be your man
You were born to be my baby
And baby,i was made to be your man
6.I'll Be There For You
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
That you won't save me anymore
Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
Solo
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
7.IN THESE ARMS
You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They bum with fire, just for you now
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
Who know I need you
Like the poet needs the rain
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 till 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
These are my words
Our words were our songs
Our songs are our prayers
There prayers keep me strong
It's what I believe
If you were in these arms tonight
Chorus
Your clothes are still scattered
All over our room
This old place still smells like
Your cheap purfume
Everything here reminds me of you
And there's nothing that I
Wouldn't do to be in your arms
And this were our words
They keep me strong
Chorus
8.Keep The Faith
Mother mother tell you children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
Father father please believe me
I am laying down my guns
I'm borken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother mother)
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Please believe me)
Everybody bitching
'Cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on
Faith: You know you're gonna
Live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith 3X
Lord we got to keep the faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me all's forgiven
And just hide behind you pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother father)
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Please don't leave me)
Everybody bleeding
'Cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to strong
When there's no one to dream on
Faith you know you're
Gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Now you know is not top late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith: don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to
Keep the faith 3X
Lord we got to keep the faith
Walking in the footsteps of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was bind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me crying
Trying to wash away the pain
Mother father
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face
Trying to hold on trying to hold on
Faith:you know you are
Goona live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
9.LAY YOU HANDS ON ME
If you're ready, I'm willing and able
Help me lay my cards out on the table
You're mine and I'm yours for the taking
Right now the rules we made
Are meant for breaking
What you get ain' t always
What you see
But satisfaction's guaranteed
They say what you give is always
What you need
So if you want me to
Lay my hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
I'm a lighter, I'm a poet
I'm a preacher
I've been to school and
Baby, I've been the teacher
If you show me how to get
Up off the ground
I can show you
How to fly and never
Ever come back down
Everything you want
Is what I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
But the ride don't never ever
Come for free
If you want me to lay
My hands on you
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Lay your hands on me
Solo
Don't you know I only aim to please
If you want me to lay
My hands on you
Lay your hands on me
10.LIVING ON A PRAYER
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck ... it's tough , so tough
Gine works the diner all day
Working for her man , she brings home her pay
For love-for Love
She says We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot
She says We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot
We're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it-I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk-so tough , it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers : Baby it's okay someday
We've got to hold on to what we've
got 'Cause it doesn't make a
difference
If we make it or not
We'be got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot
We're halfway there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it-I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk-so tough , it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers : Baby it's okay someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We'be got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers : Baby it's okay someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We'be got each other and that's a lot
For love-we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it-I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it-I swear
Livin' on a prayer
11.IN AND OUT OF LOVE
Young and wired
Set to explode in the heat
You won't tire
Cause baby was born with the beat
Take you higher than you've ever known
Then drive you down to your knees
I pick you up when you've had enough
You been burned baby lessons learned
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playing
In and out of love
Too much is never enough,
She's gonna get ya.
Running wild
When me and my boys hit the streets
Right on time
She's here to make my night complete
Then I'm long gone
I got another show
There's one more town, one mile to go
One endless night of fantasy
Was all she left of here with me
In and out of love
Hear what I'm sayin
In and out of love
The way that we're playin
In and out of love
When were together in and out of love
It's too much forever
In and out of love
Hear what I'm saying
In and out of love
Too much is never enough
We're gonna get you
In add out of love...
12.NEVER SAY GOODBYE
As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend
Remember when we used to park
On butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out-we'd break their hearts
Together-forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on-we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
and I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together-forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old firends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on-we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together-forever
13.RUN AWAY
On the street where you live
The 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 asked
When is your Daddy gonna talk to you
But 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 head
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 night on the neon Broadway signs
And she don't really mind
Its only love she hoped to find
Chorus
No one heard a single word you said
They should have seen it in your eyes
What was going around your head
Chorus
14.Someday I'll Be Saturday Night

or tell you where i am
i wanna blow myself away

i wish that i could be
in some other time and place
with someone else's soul
and someone else's face
Tuesday just might go my way

but someday I'll be Saturday night
15.Something for the pain
Happiness,it's been no friends to me,
but forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah,I had a taste,you were my fantasy,
but I lost my faith when I hit reality
I don't need no Guru to tell me what to do,
when your feeling like a headline on yesterday's news
(*)Come on,Come on,Come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
GIve me something for the pain when
I feel I've been danglin' from a hang-man's noose
Give me something for the pain,
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night,make me
feel all right,something like you
Loneliness has found a home in me,
my suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone,like they needed me
I opened up my heart,but all I did was bleed
I don't need no lover,just to get screwed
They don't make a bandage
that's going to cover my bruise
(*)
Pull me under
Help I'm falling
Run through my veins
Night is calling
To a place
Feels like I'm flying
Where I feel no pain
Christ I'm dying
Be the pillow under my head
Give me cover when I'm in my bed
Take me higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me,be my disguise
Open your coat,let me crawl inside
Come on,Come on,Come on
(*)
16.These days
I was walking around,just a face in the crowd,
trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crown,
wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner,
singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare,these days
She come looking for some shelter
with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard,
guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the 'wanna be's'
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on but these days
These days-the stars seem out of reach
These days-there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days-are fast,
love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs,trying to learn to fly
From a second story window,
he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy-
he said momma 'I've got to try'
Don't you know that all my heros died
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
(*)These days-the stars seem out of reach
But these days-there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast,nothing lasts-in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the morning train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round
and round and round,these days
(*)
These days-the stars seem out of reach
These days-there ain't a ladder on the streets
These days are fast,nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
There ain't nobody left but us these days
17.WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
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
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 people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think
I'm a cowboy on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy on a steel horse I ride
And I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
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, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces
And 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
Wanted dead or alive
18.You Give Love A Bad Name
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promised me heaven and put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
Whoa-oh-oh you're a loaded gun
Whoa-oh-oh there's nowhere to run
No one can save me the damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I played my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A schoolboys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa-oh-oh you're a loaded gun
Whoa-oh-oh there's nowhere to run
No one can save me the damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I played my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love...
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I played my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I played my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
19.Let It Rain
Last night I had a dream that there would be a morning after
Long days, sunshine, and peace
Long nights of love, forgiveness, and laughter
Maybe it was just a dream but it could be reality
Children are like planting seeds, you've got to let their
flowers grow
Don't you know
FÃ che piova, (Let it rain)
FÃ che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
FÃ che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of
love)
Through the rain I saw a child just like my child
Someone's son or daughter
I watched as they played for a while
I wanted to cry, those babies just smiled
Maybe it was just a dream, but it should be reality
A child is just God's sign that peace and love are seeds to make
tomorrow grow
FÃ che piova, (Let it rain)
FÃ che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
FÃ che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of
love)
Go on, we've tried war
No one wants peace more
Than the children who ask their dads why
FÃ che piova, (Let it rain)
FÃ che il cielo mi lavi il dolor (Let heaven wash away my pain)
FÃ che piova (Let it rain)
che sia la pace il nome d'amor (That peace would be the name of
love)
