My Mind

|
(VERSE)
All I want to say
is a thing or two of how gravity has
got a hold on me
and it never lets me go.
Before I walk away if I could get a chance
but gravity it starts pulling me
in two different directions,
north and south.
And I don’t want to run away from my home.
I don’t want to leave the things that I own.
I want to stay here,
forevermore
And I just want you to know,
If the desert is where i must roam,
Then I don’t want to roam it alone
because I…
(CHORUS)
I can’t stop my mind
from wondering.
Even though I try
and I’ve tried a thousand times.
The world has gone so crazy now,
All thats good just seems to die
and it seems to die,
and we don’t even wonder why.
well, not anymore
oh no.
oh no.
oh no.
oh no.
(VERSE)
Im staring down at my feet
because you know that I can’t help myself.
And I’m starting to think
that the free world’s gone to jail.
I want to start a revolution.
I gonna to start it from my bed.
I want you all to start thinking the same thoughts,
The same crazy running through my head
because…
(CHORUS)
I can’t stop my mind
from wandering
even though I try
and I’ve tried a thousand times.
The world has gone so crazy now,
All thats good just seems to die
and it seems to die,
and we don’t even wonder why.
well, not anymore
oh no.

Leaving My Baby

|
(VERSE 1)
I woke up this morning and I put my shoes on.
Walked out my back door I gotta keep moving on.
I'm leaving my baby,
I said I'm leaving my baby,
I said I'm leaving my baby cause she never ever understood.
I packed up my things in an old gunny sack.
I strapped my guitar right across my back.
I'm leaving my baby,
I said I'm leaving my baby,
I said I'm leaving my baby cause she never ever treats me good.
(VERSE 2)
I walk down the road and I hold my thumb out.
I'm booked, I gotta go, I gotta message to shout.
I'm leaving my baby,
I said I'm leaving my baby,
I said I'm leaving my baby cause she never ever understood.
If your woman she don't love and she don't care for you.
Just take my advice here's what you got to do.
Say I'm leaving you baby,
Just say I'm leaving you baby,
Just say I'm leaving you baby cause you never ever treats me good.

|
(VERSE)
Your lips are sugar to me baby.
Your kisses draw me into you
I say yes, not no or maybe.
There’s not much I wouldn’t do
For Your love,
Is the only thing I’ll need from now on.
(CHORUS)
You know, I only know one thing
I want you you love me
the way I love you.
Wouldn’t it be so lovely
If you were to love me
the way I love you.
(VERSE)
When at first you shined my baby
your light, it blinded me from you.
But now I’ve held your hand now baby
and I know it must be true
That your Love,
Is the only thing I’ll need from now on.
(CHORUS)
You know, I only know one thing
I want you you love me
the way I love you.
Wouldn’t it be so lovely
If you were to love me
the way I love you.
(BRIDGE)
Don’t let your love
set with the sun.
I want you, I need you to see
how much better my life is
and how much better your life is
When you’re with me.
(VERSE)
I'll spend the rest of my life, baby,
Hand in hand walking with you.
If you say you love me baby,
There’s not much I wouldn’t do
For you love,
is the only thing I’ll need from now on.
(CHORUS)
You know, I only know one thing
I want you you love me
the way I love you.
Wouldn’t it be so lovely
If you were to love me
the way I love you.
You know, I only know one thing
I want you you love me
the way I love you.

Shoo be do wah, wah, wah, wop, whoa,

I wanna take you on an electric ride.
The Carnies all love us here,
there’s no need to run and hide.
We would walk hand in hand
and then side by side
Off together in the night, the neon lights
What a wonderful life.

(VERSE)
Whenever I’m with you I feel
That I could fly
Both of us to the moon
to live out our lives.
We would walk hand in hand
and then side by side,
Off together in the night,
On the bright side
We’re moonwalking tonight.
because…
(CHORUS)
Life
Is but a dream.
and i said life,
ls but a dream, dream, dream.
and i said life,
Is such a dream
that I’m gonna keep on sleepin’.
That I’m gonna keep on sleepin’
Shoo be do wah
Shoo be doobie do wah
Shoo be do wah wah wah wop whoa
Shoo be doobie do wah.

For Heaven’s Sake - Douglas Aldridge
(CHORUS)
Ive lost my way,
So don’t you
run away
I need you to stay
For Heaven’s Sake,
For Heaven’s Sake.
(VERSE)
Excuse me,
are you listening
to the words I speak
right now.
I’m so sorry
if I let you down,
I know I was wrong.
And the two sides
I’m stepping on.
Is the dark side
and the one your on.
The two sides I am stepping on
is the dark side and the one your on.
(CHORUS)
Ive lost my way,
So don’t you
run away
I need you to stay
For Heaven’s Sake,
For Heaven’s Sake.
Ive lost my way,
So don’t you
run away
I need you to stay
For Heaven’s Sake,
For Heaven’s Sake.

Greener Eyes
03:31
|
|||
|
(VERSE 1)
I asked my love if she’d be mine,
Now my flowers don’t bloom and the sun don’t shine
when she said,
She said no.
Now every night when I close my eyes
I dream sweet dreams of you at night,
coming back home.
Come back home.
They say it’s just the facts of life
that the facts are facts,
until their lies.
Say it aint so, It’s not so.
The grass is greener on the other side,
well I’ve tried to leave
and live that life
but I can’t go, I can’t go.
(CHORUS)
I'm trying to see
through greener eyes,
greener eyes.
I’m trying to see
though greener eyes,
greener eyes.
(VERSE 2)
I'm driving dizzy with electric eyes.
Brightly buzzing brings state of mind,
It's my last hope,
My last hope.
I’m turning feelings into reckless rhymes
and happy days into real sad nights
cause I can’t cope,
I can’t cope.
They say it’s just the facts of life
that the facts are facts,
until their lies.
Say it aint so, It’s not so.
The grass is greener on the other side,
well I’ve tried to leave
and live that life
but I can’t go, I can’t go.
(CHORUS)
I'm trying to see
through greener eyes,
greener eyes.
I’m trying to see
though greener eyes,
greener eyes.
