1.This Is My Life
Fat cats just getting fatter
Lining their pockets
What does it matter？
All I want is an honest wage
A piece of ground where my kids are safe
80 bucks to fill my truck
Old man telling me times are tough
Sticking it to the middle class
Well, they can kiss my price of gas
Its time to speak my mind
Hey this is my life
Woa woa this is my life
Hey yea this is my life
Woa woa
Yea, and I want it back
Republican or democrat
I don't give a damn about that
I want a chance to do my job
Pledge allegiance to my God
Talkin' heads trying to buy my vote
I'm just trying to pay my note
I'm a husband trying to be a father
Raise my son and raise my daughter
Can you hear me？
Hey this is my life
Woa woa this is my life
Hey yea this is my life
Woa woa
And I want it back
Well, I'm just standing on the edge of the brink
I will not go quietly
I'll tell you what I think
Its time to speak my peace
Squeaky wheel always gets the grease
One single voice don't matter
But everybody's screaming up the ladder
Gonna get the attention of the man on top
Make it louder, shake and rock
It might just come tumbling down
Spread all that wealth around
That's what I'm talking about
Hey ya this is my life
Woa woa this is my life
Hey hey yea this is my life
Woa woa
This is my life
This is my life
2.Around Here Somewhere
What's become of our two hearts,
lately we just play the parts
We say the lines but there's no spark
We never miss a cue,
but it's a passionless walk-through
'I love you' doesn't mean so much
when there's no fire behind it
It was just here I know it was,
it must be hiding
Behind the door, inside the house
Between the pillows on the couch
Under the bed, up on some shelf
Behind these walls be built ourselves
It didn't vanish in thin air
It's got to be around here somewhere
It ain't like we don't talk,
it ain't like we don't walk the walk
We see our friends, we fool them all
We edit everything we say,
I hate to think of us this way
The love we made was strong,
remember just how sweet it tasted
It's not really gone,
we've only carelessly misplaced it
Behind the door, inside the house
Between the pillows on the couch
Under the bed, up on some shelf
Behind these walls be built ourselves
It didn't vanish in thin air
It's got to be around here somewhere
Well, it can't be gone, it can't be gone, it's just
Behind the door, inside the house
Between the pillows on the couch
Under the bed, up on some shelf
Behind these walls we built ourselves
Under the sun behind the moon
From January until June
A promise made, a promise kept
Baby, let's retrace our steps
Somewhere between hope and despair
It's got to be around here somewhere
It's got to be here somewhere
3.My Chrevolet
Had a 327 and a four on the floor
It was Detroit built back in '64
Red bucket seats,
she was mine all mine
yeah she was one of a kind
Devon called shot gun
and the boys piled in
we were young, we were innocent,
we were guilty as sin
and every Friday night,
we'd make our get away
in my Chevrolet
big yellow moon on the country road
and night moons on the stereo
the windows down and the smell of fresh cut hay
if that Chevy could talk
the stories she'd tell
about broken hearts and love and raising hell
yeah it was summertime
and those were the days in my Chevrolet.
Jenny was an angel,
she was my first love
steaming up the windows
and getting all tangled up
stumble round in the darkness
trying to find our way
hey, at the drive in movies
we parked way up at the back
i couldn't tell you what was playing
i didn't care nothing about that
and after that we hit the road
and parked down by the lake in my Chevrolet.
big yellow moon on the country road
and night moons on the stereo
the windows down and the smell of fresh cut hay
if that Chevy could talk
the stories she'd tell
about broken hearts and love and raising hell
yeah it was summertime
and those were the days in my Chevrolet.
May 28th, graduation day
we set out to see the USA
we got as far as Smith Mountain Lake
yeah, but that's okay in my Chevrolet.
Oh yeah, in my Chevrolet.
We were rolling away in my Chevrolet.
Those were the days, yeah, in my Chevrolet
Oh, oh, oh yeah
We were rolling away.
4.Love Is A Beautiful Thing
Looks like everybody's here
Had to put some folding chairs in the vestibule
Yeah, it's getting full
Even old Aunt Ruby came
Her first time on an air plain,
it's her sister's girl
she wouldn't miss it for the world
And all them kids jumpin' in the pews
Mr. Charlie in his lime green suit is a handsome man
Remarks widow Callahan
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jake
Haven't spoken since '98
Just said Hello
It's a good day to let it go
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love is a beautiful thing
Daddy's waitin' with the bride
As she helps him with his tie she sees a tear
He says man it's hot in here
He hugs his little girl and asks
How did you grow up so fast, God I wish
Your mama could be here for this
Everybody stands and smiles
As she comes walking down the aisle in her mama's gown
And Daddy breaks on down
Gran and Gramps in the second row
Stood right there fifty years ago and said their vows
I guess it's workin' out
So let the angels gather, let the music play
Let the preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love is a beautiful thing
A little table full of gifts
Catering is coverdish and the wedding band
Well it's on her hand
Tommy's teasing Lorali
Pushed her down and made her cry
And neither one knows a day will come
When the angels gather, and the music plays
The preacher get to preachin' all the do you takes
Love is a beautiful thing
Throw the rice in the air let the church bells ring
Tie the cans to the back of that limosine
Love, two people in Love
It's a beautiful thing
5.Prayer Of A Common Man
Daddy put in his forty years,
got his gold watch, and then they sent him home.
I never knew what a struggle was like
until I cried tears on his stone.
He was just a kinder-will lived
and died on the layaway plan.
But Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Alleluia. Is anybody out there？
Alleluia Does anybody care？
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul,
but I'm doing the best I can.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
A little girl needed braces
but it cost a couple thousand bucks.
She has a beautiful smile
but it'll be awhile on my new／used pickup truck.
This house of cards I built is mortgaged to the hills
and its sinking in the sand.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Alleluia. Is anybody out there？
Alleluia Does anybody care？
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul,
but I'm doing the best I can.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
I'm not looking for charity,
I just need some clarity.
I've got people counting on me.
And I'm tired that's all
I'm up against the wall.
Lord hear me when I call.
Alleluia. I know your up there.
Alleluia. I know you care.
Life takes its toll on the heart and soul,
but I'm doing the best I can.
Lord hear the prayer of a Common Man.
Lord hear the prayer of this Common Man.

7.Why Don't Ya (Feat. Los Lonely Boys)
Why don't you love me like you used to？
Why don't you love me like you used to？
Well, I've tried so hard to see what makes you happy
but, all i found was that it sure ain't me
so tell me, why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
There was a time that i thought
my world revolved around your sun
hindsight says i'm not the only one
so tell me, why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
well, it takes a little getting used to being alone
but i'll be better off on my own
i'll find myself a little Texas rose
and spend some time out in the zone
well goodbye, good luck
i'm sure that things will work out fine
in your world
i'll be alright in mine
but tell me, why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
why don't you love me like you used to？
8.It's For Love
Don't give me that poor pitiful sorry I broke your heart look
Don't act like it's something I can't live without that you took
I ain't gonna bury my head in the sand
I'm stronger than that.
I'm gonna spring right back like a rubberband
I know that I can
It's only love it ain't nothing
but oxygen and water
sun to the sunlight
what keeps the universe spinning
the reason for a living
what you love for your whole life
you won't catch me crying over all that sentimental stuff
cuz it ain't nothing i can't rise above
it's only love
I'm not surprised baby I'm caught a little off guard
but i will survive it'll just leave amendable scar
if this is what you want i wish you well
se la vie
change is good it ain't no big deal
don't worry bout me cuz
It's only love it ain't nothing
but oxygen and water
sun to the sunlight
what keeps the universe spinning
the reason for a living
what you love for your whole life
you won't catch me crying over all that sentimental stuff
cuz it ain't nothing i can't rise above
it's only love
Tomorrow I might not be quite so tough
Cause after all it's only love
It's only love it ain't nothing
but oxygen and water
sun to the sunlight
what keeps the universe spinning
the reason for a living
what you love for your whole life
you won't catch me crying over all that sentimental stuff
cuz it ain't nothing i can't rise above
it's only love
It's only love.
It's only love.
It's only love.
9.Let Me Love You Tonight
I know we're broken
I can feel the pain
Million words unspoken
But your eyes say everything
You say it's over
Wanna be my friend
If I could reach inside your heart
I'd make you mine again
It doesn't really matter
Who's wrong or right
Baby just pretend
Until the morning light
Let me love you tonight
One more time
Maybe I can find
A way to change your mind
Let me love you tonight
It's alright
I'll take what I can borrow
Baby you can leave tomorrow
But let me love you tonight
Who said it was easy
To be you with me
It's gonna hurt believe me
But I have to set you free
Just for a moment
Let's put away the blame
Close your eyes and remember
When I was your everything
I know tonight
Is surely gonna end
So hold me in your arms
And make love to me till then
Let me love you tonight
One more time
And maybe I can find
A way to change your mind
Let me love you tonight
It's alright
I'll take what I can borrow
Baby you can leave tomorrow
Let me love you tonight
Give me a break
For old times sake
And maybe baby you might wanna stay
Let me love you tonight
One more time
And maybe I can find
A way to change your mind
Let me love you tonight
It's alright
I'll take what I can borrow
Baby you can leave tomorrow
Let me love you tonight
Let me love you tonight
10.Baby Rocks
11.The World Is A Mess
Bye, Bye,
life goes by.
Well I go to work,
my boss is a jerk.
I try my best,
but my feelings get hurt.
They treat me like dirt.
The only thing worse,
is I need the money honey.
And I, I look at the news,
a river of blues.
I'm so confused,
and I'm starting to sink.
I can't even think.
Yeah lets have a drink,
and turn up the radio baby!
The world is a mess I feel like dancing.
Forget all about our cares for a while.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing,
for a little while.
Yeah that's right.
We'll pull down the shades.
We've got it made.
Forget all our troubles,
The bills will get paid.
We've got a date,
and doomsday can wait.
And I'm tired of thinkin' about it.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing.
Forget all about our cares for a while.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing,
for a little while.
The world is a mess I feel like singing.
Sing and be loud at the top of my voice.
The world is a mess I feel like singing,
High above the noise.
This is the question,
and this is the answer.
I wish that I could be some fancy dancer.
I may never see you again,
and thats the way life goes.
But time's a mighty river,
and you can't stop the way it flows,
but if i never see you again baby I love you,
yeah and I just wanted you to know.
Yes I just wanted you to know,
I just wanted you to know,
that I love you.
And I just wanted you to know.
Bye, Bye,
Life goes by.
12.Crazy Life
I rise and stumble from the bed
It wakes the worries in my head
And I pour myself a bowl of Cheerios
I think about the good and bad
The happiness outweighs the sad
And the balance evens out the highs and lows
Today, there's lessons to be learned
There's progress to be made
Tomorrow, I can say, 'I'm a little older and wiser.'
It's a crazy life, a crazy life
It keeps you on your toes
You never know what lies in store for you
Or where it's gonna go
Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh or cry
You're free to pick and choose, you win or lose
You're either wrong or right
Yeah, it's a crazy life
I think of lovers come and gone
And the people I've depended on
And I subtract the pleasure from the cost
Except for maybe two or three
They've drifted far away from me
Or maybe I'm the one who's gotten lost
But you can never go back home, no matter how you try
And once you've said, 'Goodbye.'
You've said it all and its over
It's a crazy life, a crazy life
It keeps you on your toes
You never know what lies in store for you
Or where it's gonna go
Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh or cry
You're free to pick and choose, you win or lose
You're either wrong or right
Yeah, it's a crazy life
It's a crazy life, a crazy life
It keeps you on your toes
You never know what lies in store for you
Or where it's gonna go
Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh or cry
You're free to pick and choose, you win or lose
You're either wrong or right
Yeah, it's a crazy life
Oh, yeah, it's a crazy life
