1.Hey Mama(Album Version)
She don't know what she wants to be
With all the pictures in the magazines
Holding hands when she's mad at me
'cause she don't wanna go, don't wanna go
I met her at anthropology
Purple boots and her golden dreams
Standing there like a Tennessee queen
Singing don't look at me, don't look at me
Singing oh oh
won't you help me sing this song
Singing ee ee ee
She don't ever want to go to sleep
Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
I can see it in her Cherokee eyes
Those baby browns and the golden thighs
What you doing for the rest of your life？
Cause you don't want, don't wanna go
Singing oh oh
won't you help me sing this song
Singing ee ee ee
She playing like a mystery
Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Couldn't be more opposite
I'm hard to please and you're hard to get
You're Mississippi and I'm Oregon
You're sun tanned and I'm porcelain skinned.
Singing hey mama, don't want no drama
Just a kiss before I leave
Hey lady, don't say maybe
You're the one that I can believe
Hey lover, don't want no other
finger for my ring
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Hey mama, hey hey mama
Oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
Ooh oh oh oh
2.Ships In The Night(Album Version)
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by,
Just wasting time,
trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me,
trying to find the light
Like ships in the night, letting cannonballs fly,
say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fist fly from my mouth as it turns south
You're down the driveway, I'm on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
Cuz we'll be okay, I'm not going to wait
Have you watched it 14 as it went down the drain,
hip-hop stayed the same and your mom's moved away,
how many of our parents seem to make it anyway
we're just fumbling through the gray
trying to find a heart that's not walking Away.
Turn the lights down low, walk these halls alone we can feel so
far from so
Close.
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by,
Just wasting time,
trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me,
trying to find the light like ships in the night, there passing
Me by, there passing me by, like ships in the night.
I'm at the airport waitin' on a second plane had to pack you had
cramps and
I was late headed to a read carpet thay wont know my name right
ridding in
Silence all that we wanna say bout to bord when you call on the
phone you
Say I'm sorry I'll be waiting at home feels like were burning
this out on
Our own trying to find our way down a road we don't know.
Turn the lights down low, walk these halls alone, we can feel so
far from so
Close. like ships in the night thay keep passing me by, just
wasting time
Trying to prove who's right and if it all goes crashing into the
sea if it's
Just you and me trying to find the light like ships in the
night, there
Passing me by, there passing me by, like ships in the night.
3.Count On Me(Album Version)
One day to get it all right
Too wrong and not enough right
Three words we said in the night
Before we held the fire
High five me brother it's amazing
Her six shooter came out blazing
Seven up and coke on the pavement
Ate my heart out daily baby
Hey I love you, hey I need you, hey I want you, do you want me
too？
You can count on me, when you can not see
Let me spell it
out plain and simple now
When your numbers called backs against the wall
Pick you up when you call be there when you fall
Singing a b c
You can count on me
123
You can count on me
Amen we made it this far
B boys in VW cars
See me
seeing into my heart
Delighted through the dark
Emails and coffee in the evening
Effort ya brother you'll believe it
Gee I don't know your secret
H. I. love you singing
You can count on me, when you can not see
Let me spell it out plain and simple now
When your numbers called backs against the wall
Pick you up when you call be there when you fall
Singing a b c
You can count on me
123
You can count on me
Add it up add it up now darling
Come running, running when you're calling
4.Sooner Or Later(Album Version)
We're all standing with our backs against the wall
Sooner or later,
Waitin' on a phone that never calls, at all
Heartbreak comes strollin' in like a storm,
Sooner or later,
Tryin' to swim but you're sinkin' like a stone, alone
I can feel the fire, in the night, waiting here
Baby it's like we're walking on a wire through the fear
Take my hand, we'll get there
Sooner or later, I swear
We're gonna make it, gonna make it
Sooner or later, I swear
We're gonna make it, gonna make it
5.Chasing The Light(Album Version)
Every bridge that keeps on burning
Every leaf that you keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you'll figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
Remember back when you slept on my floor
Blow up mattress down by the door
10 pounds heavier from wasted time
We didn't know we were way out of line
From the moment that you
popped out on the scene
Hard to know what you got or you're meant to be
Everything that you know goes flying
From Jonny O's coach to a gypsy bus island
Holding hands with people in life
Till they walk away saying no good byes
And you keep saying that you're running down a dream
But you don't know where it leads
As you keep chasing the light
Every bridge that keep on burning
Every leaf that you keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you'll figure it out
Every hope and dream that's dying
Every time that i see you crying
Every step that you keep on climbing
Pray for you now
Baby that you figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
Got the call that you sent out yesterday
40 lines and a fallout holiday
On my knees with the weight that was mine
Think about you when I'm driving at night
Familiar sounds and it takes me right back there
Bridge street and the beat in the summer air
Was it easier to watch you feet
And never deal with the hell that a young boy sees
Where liquor runs thicker than blood
On your own when push comes to shove
Before we had these mouths to feed
With innocent dreams while you keep
Chasing the light
Every bridge that keep on burning
Every leaf that you keep on turning
Every road that you find uncertain
Pray for you now
Baby that you'll figure it out
Every hope and dream that's dying
Every time that I see you crying
Every step that you keep on climbing
Pray for you now
Baby that you figure it out
As you keep
Chasing the light
Remember hearing Dylan's first songs first
Remember writing down a train wreck verse
We were running down Franklin High School lights
Burning alive in a Chevrolet night
Remember driving out to Salton Sea
Dreaming bout all we thought we'd be
One way tickets into southern lights
Slammed the door and said goodbye, goodbye
6.Learning To Love Again(Album Version)
Your poker face ain't fooling nobody, nobody here
We've all felt the flame and shed those same tears
Driving home to a one man hell, still counting years, still
counting years
Hey brother we're all learning to love again
'Cause that was the real you running through the fields of gold
wide open
Standing in places no picture contains
That was the real you, windows down, we could smell the mint
fields crying
Sing with the radio to song we can't name
That was the real
you saying, Maybe I'm not too young to be a cowboy.
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
Making up your bed that day on a foreign floor between foreign
walls
Thinking 'bout the words you'd say to a phone that never calls
Feel the weight of your father's ring and all those dreams, and
all those dreams
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
'Cause that was the real you running through the fields of gold
wide open
Standing in places no picture contains
That was the real you, windows down, we could smell the mint
fields crying
Sing with the radio to song we can't name
That was the real you saying, Maybe I'm not to young too be a
cowboy.
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
I know you like I know my reflection
Walking on the water 'cross an ocean of desire
Everyone I know is looking for protection
Trying to pull your hometown 'cross a telephone wire
'Cause that was the real you standing there in the shape of your
body
Fear don' know no love when we're all the same
That was the real you looking back across the water
Tears falling like rain, drops rippling against the shame
That was the real you singing hallelujah, looking down a barrel
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
Hey brother, we're all learning to love again
7.Down(Album Version)
It took his breath away holding the bank page
He got the letter they're gonna take their house away
I'm bout to have a daughter he yells it in the air
Feeling the weight of a world that just don't care
He lit a cigarette felt in on his lip
Driving home on a long road with regret
He pulls the window down shouts it out loud
Pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now
He's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down
Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now
It was Monday night under the street lights
She's turning seventeen in seven nights
Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone
She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul
On the road alone in a house that's half home
They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone
She's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down
Take these broken streets
Take these broken dreams
Hold my hand like we we're walking free
Tell me it will change I see it in your face
The hope the fear the love the faith
I'm working late again slaving to make the rent
I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement
They're coming one by one the face of falling love
I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cup
Can you hear when we call
There where we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
Top of our lungs hallelujah
Where pain and love bleed into one
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Can you hear when we call
There were we fall
Standing our backs against the wall
At the Top of our lungs how far we've come
Were pain and love bleed into one
All that we need its so bitter sweet
The pain that opens our eyes to see
Baby when all you see is darkness
Coming down now
We all need forgiveness
Coming round now
8.She Got The Honey(Album Version)
Says she likes me to all of her friends
Cold shoulder's what she pretends
I buy Americano every morning
Rings me up and winks with no warning
At the park with nobody else
Purple boots and her basquiot belt
Lights up when she sees my face
Turns red as she's turning away
All I ever know baby
All these games that you're playing
You keep driving me crazy
Gonna get there, get there
She got the honey and I got some money
To buy her a big bouquet
She got the loving, leaves me with nothing
I just don't know what to say
Well I'd beg, steal, and borrow
If tomorrow she'd stay
She's got the honey
I don't think it's funny
That she keeps walking away
Back to the beginning
Saw her down at the De La show
Walking in looking at her toes
Tall like a flower on the wall
High heel stealing looks across the floor
I step up; she's turning real red now
Deep breath, how you doing, wow
Caught you catch the corner of my eye
She got a call, gotta go, goodbye
We're gonna get there, get there
She got the honey and I got some money
To buy her a big bouquet
She got the loving, leaves me with nothing
I just don't know what to say
Well I'd beg, steal, and borrow
If tomorrow she'd stay
She's got the honey
I don't think it's funny
That she keeps walking away
Back to the beginning
It's amazing that I could be standing tall
It's like a million lighting bolts
When she walks right through the door
Crazy, every little way I come crashing down
We're gonna get there, get there
9.Young Dumb And In Love(Album Version)
Well it was me and Burkam running circles round the joint
Trying to jump on the circus trying to get across our point
Yeah, we were young and dumb and looking for a fight
Burning both ends of the candle at both ends of the night
She was walking gracefully like she stepped out of a cocoon
Down through Manhattan Boulevard and First Avenue
With her black frame glasses and her Daisy perfume
I said, Have we met before？ She said, No, it's only noon.
Uh oh to be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground
I'm talking too much, and you don't make a sound
The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns
All I've waited for's come true
To be young and dumb and in love
With you, you, you, you
Well, we sat in the park grass so scared of the past
Tolling round like blankets, oh, this won't last
Dancing to five spot records with smoke in the air
You could smell it the morning, you could smell it in her hair
Found myself on my knees a little more each night
Is this what I've waited for for all of my life
Put your hand with a feather tattoo on your wrist
On this skinny little white boys fat hustling hips
Uh oh to be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and love
Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground
I'm talking too much and you don't make a sound
The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns
All I've waited for's come true
To be young and dumb and in love
With you, you, you, you
She's not like any other girl
She's got me crying first, dying first, waiting for the repo man
Well, under the weeping willows and a sea firing flies
With your gypsy necklace and my big brown bow tie
You kissed my lips like I was catching a flight
I said if I'm honest I fell for you that first night
If I'm honest I fell for you that first night
That first night, oh, oh, oh
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
To be young and dumb and in love
With you, you, you
10.Rochester(Album Version)
I was born in Rochester to a book-making man
Had a fake cigar shop with the games on in the back
See them coming and going letting it ride on thorough breads
The police chief and Tom Hall wondering what was the spread
I carried rich mans bags through brier trying to chase down a
little white ball
Learned that any soft place wasn't good for me at all
Daddy'd come home fired up looking for some sort of release
He'd beat the hell of Timmy and Timmy'd beat the hell out of me
I would hop the fence out to those government fields
Run till there was nothing left to feel
Lying there, watching, just disappear
Knowing one day I'm gonna fly on out of here
The same police chief came knocking my first freshman day
Put my daddy in handcuffs and his picture on the front page
Took every one of his suits and all my dignity
I'd walk the halls of Irondequoit looking for any punk to set me
free
Got that call to Vietnam, just like everyone else I knew
So scared of the hand grenades, threw them farther than any
other troop
Came home like an iron fist, and Timmy tried to take my keys
Ripped open his from pocket, that was the last time he touched
me
Moved to an island out west and up to Breckenridge
Met a mermaid on a glass boat, and she promised me some kids
Bought a house in Oregon where you could touch both of the walls
Had a son named Benjamin, and I was so scared of it all
Well, Benjamin walked in the front room where I was cutting up
my hash
Looked into his deep blue eyes wondering why I'd been so mad
Flushed a quarter pound down the drain, praying for the mercy to
confess
Trying to rip the boy from Rochester right out of my chest
We're gonna walk right out into those heavenly fields
Run like there was no more time to steal
My three boys and the grace of god revealed
Knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here
Knowing one day you're gonna take me out of here
