Reo Speedwagon Best Foot Forward Lyrics
1.Roll With The Changes

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

As soon as you are able
Woman I am willing
To make the break that we
Are on the brink of
My cup is on the table
Our love is spilling
Waiting here for you to
Take and drink of
So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me
Like a sweet sunshower

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

Roll with the changes


2.Take It On The Run

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around
They say you got a boy friend
You're out late every weekend
They're talkin' about you and it's bringin' me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I'm telling you, babe
That I don't think it's true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

{Refrain}

You take it on the run baby
If that's the way you want it baby
Then I don't want you around
I don't believe it
Not for a minute
You're under the gun so you take it on the run

You're thinking up your white lies
You're putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you're coming home but you won't say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

{Refrain x 3}

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin' around


3.Don't Let Him Go

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

So you figure that you've got him all figured out
He's a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl's heart with his pout
He's the kind of lover that the ladies dream about
He's got plenty of cash
He's got plenty of friends
He drives women wild
Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz
He's got a long wick with a flame at both ends
He's hot

But don't let him go
Just give him a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go

He makes you so angry
He makes you so sore
The weight may be worth it
But how can you wait anymore
When you're wonderin what you're waitin' for
Baby I don't know

But don't let him go
He just needs a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don't let him go
Don't let him go

(solo)


4.Live Every Moment

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.
Live every moment - love every day
'Cause if you don't you might just throw your love away.
I walked for seven miles this mornin'. Footprints in the sand.
Washed away without a warning when the water hit the land.
But I will walk on 'til I can no longer stand.
I'll take you by the hand and we'll...

Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

There's water in the wind tonight.
There's a chill in the air.
It's coolin' down my skin tonight
Soakin' through your hair.
There's warmth enough within' tonight
for both of us to share.
We can take it anywhere. And we'll...

Live every moment - love every day
'Cus before you know it your precious time slips away.

Sometimes I wish we could take a trip far away.
Leave all this trouble and heartache and pain for another day.
I will search for that place but 'til I find it all I can say
is...

Live every moment - and love every day


5.Keep On Lovin' You

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

You shoud've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You shoud've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we're still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you

(solo)

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever

(chorus)


6.Back On The Road Again

Lyrics:Bruce Hall
Music:Bruce Hall

Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we've had together are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye
I'm back on the road again, it's time I leave you now
And maybe I'll see you next time, that I'm around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way

Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you
till the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin and we both know the reason
why
That I've got to leave ya mama and I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time that I come through
your town to play

(chorus) ooh, bye-bye baby

(solo)

(chorus)


7.Wherever Your Goin It's Alright

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

Say good-bye
Look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
Say good-bye
Hold your head high
Wherever you're goin it's alright
Things must change
You know they always do
Get re-arranged
No reflection on you
Just face the danger
And follow it through
And the change is gonna be for the best

Well I know
How crazy it feels
When you go
Go out shufflin your heels
So take it slow
And make only good deals
You're a young man and it's time to go west
Oooh yes

You say good-bye
You look to the sky
Set your course on into the night
You say good-bye
You hold your head high
Wherever you're goin it's alright

Take a chance
Go on make your move
Nothin' fancy
You got nothin' to prove
Just make a stance
You know were countin' on you
You are the one with the vision

So move out
Move ahead of the fear
Have no doubt
In your mind there's a very clear out
And someone must steer
It is you who must make the decision
Oooh yeah

(chorus) 3x
(solo)
(chorus) fade


8.Can't Fight This Feeling

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.


9.Shakin It Loose

Lyrics:Gary Richrath
Music:Gary Richrath

She looked at me with fire in her eyes.
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries,
and she tried as she might.
But I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.
She said honey, 'Forget me quick.'
Another fool, another Hollywood trick.
Movin' on a red light.
But I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

I got to go there's someone on the phone.
Knock on my door, but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
And I'm gonna be all right,
Shakin' it loose tonight.

Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
I'm gonna make it.
Shakin' it loose tonight.


10.Time For Me To Fly

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
Oh I make you live
And you make cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holding on
To a feeling I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
Oh I make you live
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

{Refrain} Time for me to fly
Oh, I've got to set myself free
Time for me to fly
And that's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly

Oh, don't you know it's...
{Refrain}

It's time for me to fly
{Repeat to end}


11.Keep Pushin

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , I keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah
Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I
did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength
is gone
Keep pushin on

(solo)

Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh
Everyday I wake a little bit higher
Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah
(repeat chorus)


12.I Wish You Were There

Lyrics:Kevin Cronin
Music:Kevin Cronin

I know a place where you can go.
When you're flyin' high or layin' low.
And I've got the time.
I've got plenty to spare.
I've got the time, and I've got the place,
I just wish you were there.
I've the will to have you around.
Whether you're up, whether you're down.
And I know the way
To make you shine.
I've got the will, and I've got the way,
I just wish you were mine.
