My Best Days

Danny Gokey My Best Days Lyrics
1.My Best Days Are Ahead of Me

Blowin' out the candles on another birthday cake
Old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes
Young enough to look at the future and like what I see
My best days are ahead of me

Life hasn't always been a party but mostly it's been good
There's only one or two things that I'd change if I could
I don't get lost in the past or get stuck in some sad memory
My best days are ahead of me

Age ain't nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder what does it really mean
But hey, I'm still putting it together
I keep getting better, if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I wanna be
My best days are ahead of me

Age ain't nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder what does it really mean
But hey, I'm still putting it together
I keep getting better, if I keep getting better
I can be whatever I wanna be
My best days are ahead of me

I've got sunsets to witness, dreams to dance with
Beaches to walk on and lovers to kiss
There's a whole lot of world out there that I can't wait to see
My best days are ahead of me
My best days are ahead of me


2.Like That's a Bad Thing

They say I drive too fast,
say, I like to push the limit
Everyday I'm living like it was my last
They say I'm proud of my scars
Each one's got a story
Got guts and glory down to an art
Say, I know what it's like
To see life flash before my eyes
Like that's a bad thing

I don't know about you
but I was put here to live and love
So what if I don't do it like everybody else does
They say I'm out on the edge,
I'm too willing to risk
Every bone, every breath
They say all I am is a crazy dream
Like that's a bad thing

So my heart's been broke,
so I keep on falling
It's nothing but all in when I let go
I wear it on my sleeve
They call me a fool 'cause I still believe
Like that's a bad thing

I don't know about you
but I was put here to live and love
So what if I don't do it like everybody else does
They say I'm out on the edge,
I'm too willing to risk
Every bone, every breath
They say all I am is a crazy dream
Like that's a bad thing

I don't know about you
but I was put here to live and love
So what if I don't do it like everybody else does
They say I'm out on the edge,
I'm too willing to risk
Every bone, every breath
They say all I am is a crazy dream, is a crazy dream
Like that's a bad thing
Like that's a bad thing


3.I Still Believe

I've been looking for a light at the end of this tunnel
I've been searching for a sign to lead me home
Too nany endless nights of sorrow
But on the other side of this
I know that my heart will live

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe
I don't understand many things
Like the miracle of love and all my dreams
But I still believe

And the more I live my life
The less that I question
All the things I just can't see
Right in front of my eyes
So I take that leap of faith
And learn a few lessons
Time has shown me this
What you give is what you get

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe
I don't know that answers to my prayers
But I keep kneeling down like somebody's there
'Cause I still believe

Yeah, I guess I could give up
There are days I wanna run away
From everything
But what good would that do for me
I. I. I still believe

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe, yes I do
I don't really know what tomorrow will bring
But I'm open to all possibilities
'Cause I still believe

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe
I don't really know what tomorrow will bring
But I'm open to all possibilities
'Cause I still believe
But I, but I believe

Never saw a man. never saw a man. never saw a man
Who walked on water
Never saw a man, never saw a man, never saw a man
But I, but I , but I believe
But I, but I , but I believe
But I, but I , but I believe


4.Tiny Life

Looking down out of this little round window
On silver wings at 20,000 feet
At lake and streams and fields of green
I tend to think the most peculiar things

Ribbons of highways, side roads and byways
People going all ways, always in a hurry
Gotta get there but just where from up here
I'm not sure, where it's all going or what it all means

But sometimes I think it's such a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is the love I have and the love I have to give
Anything else there is, is in sign if I cant
In this tiny life

Wheels hit the runways, Mondays run into Mondays
Some days are better then some days
Can't see the skies, skyscrapers too high
Thirty-second daydream at another red light

I'm back in my hometown of roads that we rode down
But those sights and sounds are yesterdays now
There's deadlines and stress lines are too much on my mind
I'm getting it all, but whats it all for

Sometimes I think it's such a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is the love I have and the love I have to give
Anything else there is, is in sign if I cant
In this tiny life

It's the love we make, it's the dreams we share
The friends we find in our short time here
It's knowing Gods grace, the touch of a hand
Holding a baby, calling mom and dad

It's making the most of the moments we have
And getting to live long enough to look back
On the year, the sweet tears of joy and laughter
That's all that really matters

Sometimes I think it's such a simple thing
I close my eyes and I realize all I really need
Is the love I have and the love I have to give
Anything else there is, is in sign if I cant
It doesnt matter in this tiny life


5.Get Away

Well, I gotta get away
Just skip town with the top down
And drive all night
High time that I kick back and I loose track
And get out of sight
Yeah, I'm caught in a state of emergency
I'm goin' down if I stay
Gotta get away

Feels like my head's in a vice
The big man standing there screamin'
This pressure, this ride's breakin' my mind
I'm done, I'm out, let me get back to
What this life is about

Well, I gotta get away
Just skip town with the top down
And drive all night
High time that I kick back and I loose track
And get out of sight
Yeah, I'm caught in a state of emergency
I'm goin' down if I stay
Gotta get away

Yeah, I gotta find me a sunset, and a cold drink
On the beach somewhere
Get lost in a warm breeze with a sweet thing
Just get me there, I'm gone, no doubt
Gotta get back to what this whole thing's about

Well, I gotta get away
Just skip town with the top down
And drive all night
High time that I kick back and I loose track
And get out of sight
Yeah, I'm caught in a state of emergency
I'm goin' down if I stay
Gotta get away

Call me a missin' person
I really like the sound of that
Believe me I'm never comin' back
Gotta get away, wanna get away

Skip town, gonna drive all night
Kick back and lose track, get outta sight
Yeah, I'm caught in a state of emergency
I'm goin' down if I stay
I'm goin' down if I stay
Wanna get away


6.It's Only

It's been 18 months and 14 Days
Bobby can't get him a job
Repo man's gonna take his van I hear
Bobby's giving up on God
He needs a hand up and not a hand out
But hey, everybody's gotta suffer
Don't worry, don't worry
It's only my brother
La, da, da, da, yeah

Where is that poverty line
I've never really seen it
Look around I'm doing fine
I'm not really sure I believe it
On the other side of town schools are falling down
But me I'm riding in style
Don't worry, don't worry
It's only a child

There's a homeless woman with a shopping cart
Living on the street
Lord knows she can't come in here where the pretty people meet
We're all dressed in our Sunday best
And she smiles when she sees us
Don't worry
It's only Jesus
La, da, da, da, yeah

There's a face in the mirror
Of a man that I can be
Lord, won't you open my eyes
Won't you help me see
A hungry child needs more than a piece of bread
Brother needs a job to get ahead
And the homeless need a place to lay their head
And as much as I've been giving
I could never give enough
Don't worry
It's only love
La, da, da, da, yeah oooh


7.Life on Ya

Sunday mornin' all dressed for church
Took a muddy road shortcut
Showed up all covered in dirt
Daddy took one look, 'bout to blow his top
I remember grandma sayin' it'll
Come out in the wash

Gotta get a little life on ya
Ain't always pretty, gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya, on ya, on ya
Gotta get a little life on ya

About five years later,
I can't remember her name
Never say in comin'
But man I remember my first heartbreak
Grandma smiling with that beautiful wrinkled face
Said you ain't seen nothin' yet
That girl was just a taste

Gotta get a little life on ya
Ain't always pretty, might get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya, on ya, said on ya
Gotta get a little life on ya

Girl, do you remember when we first met
Life hadn't had a chance to throw all it had at us yet
Now it's ten years later and you can do the math
But it all adds up to everything that grandma said way back

Gotta get a little life on ya, get a little life on ya
Gotta go a little further, gotta live a little longer
It gets a little sweeter when you get a little life on ya

Gotta get a little life on ya
Ain't always pretty, gonna get a little dirty
Gotta get a little life on ya, said on ya, said on ya
Gotta get a little life on ya


8.Crazy Not To

Love, I don't think so
I'd have to be a fool to go down that road
Aww, look at you, look at you, look at you
I'd be crazy not to

I know it makes no sense
Why would I jump off a perfectly good cliff
Aww, look at you, look at you, look at you
I'd be crazy not to

My best bet is turn around and run
And not get all caught up in your love
My friends say I'm crazy if I do
Aww, look at you, look at you, look at you
Oh I'd be crazy not to

My heart is telling me to stay
Like maybe I should take a chance and have faith
Aww, look at you, look at you, look at you
Baby I'd be crazy not to

My best bet is turn around and run
And not get all caught up in your love
My friends say I'd be crazy if I do
Aww, look at you, look at you, look at you
Oh I'd be crazy not to

I know if I kiss you it's only gonna lead to
More and more and more and more

So my best bet is turn around and run
And not get all caught up in your love
My friends say I'm crazy if I do
Aww, look at you, look at you, look at you
Yeah, look at you, look at you, look at you
I'd be crazy not to

Crazy not to fall in love
Crazy not to fall in love with you,
With you, with you, with you
Crazy not to fall in love
Crazy not to fall in love with you


9.Be Somebody

Joker Johnny was a lie teller
Cause he thought somebody might like him better
So he built it up and built it up till it all fell down
But he never thought the bitter truth was gonna find him out
He did it all to impress someone else
When all he had to do was stop and be himself

Oh everybody wants to be somebody
Oh yes its true, no telling what some people will do
Oh nobody wants to be a nobody
Cause its a far more bitter fate
To go through this life Caring the weight

When they shoot somebody for the clothes they wear
And theyll advertise it like its ordinary
They got territories and so they stand their ground
But what they dont know is what comes around
It comes right back around
What they really wanted is to be accepted
To find out in the end that the streets are self-correcting

Oh everybody wants to be somebody
Oh yes its true, no telling what some people will do
Oh nobody wants to be a nobody
Cause its a far more bitter fate
To go through this life Caring the weight

Far more worse then dying is living with a soul
Thats laden with the consequence of all the happiness you stole
Sometimes a guilty conscience and carrying the pain
Is harder than a bullet to the brain

Oh everybody wants to be somebody
Oh yes its true, no telling what some people will do
Oh nobody wants to be a nobody
Cause its a far more bitter fate
To go through this life Caring that

Oh everybody wants to be somebody
Oh yes its true, no telling what some people will do
Say nobody wants to be a nobody
Cause its a far more bitter fate
To go through life, always Caring that weight

Always carrying that weight, you got to let it go
Let it go, listen on more time,
I say always carrying that weight
Always carrying that weight,
Just let it go, and just put it down,
Let it carry in the way


10.I Will Not Say Goodbye

Sometimes the road just ends
It changes everything you've been
And all that's left to be
Is empty, broken, lonely, hoping
I'm suppose to be strong
I'm suppose to find a way to carry on

I don't want to feel better,
I don't want to not remember
I will always see your face
In the shadows of this haunted place
I will laugh, I will cry, shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say goodbye

They keep saying time will heal
but the pain just gets more real
The sun comes up each day
Finds me waiting, fading, hating, praying
If I can keep on holding on
Then maybe I can keep my heart from knowing that your gone

I don't want to feel better,
I don't want to not remember
I will always see your face
In the shadows of this haunted place
I will laugh, I will cry, shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say goodbye

I will curse, I will pray, I'll relive every day
I will shoulder the blame, I will shout out your name
I will laugh I will cry shake my fist at the sky
But I will not say, will not say goodbye,
Will not say goodbye, Will not say ooooohhhhh
