Nobody's Fool

I once was told the sun not only sets but it also rises
And the snow is always cold and when you put love to the test there are always compromises
But you must be the exception to the rule
And baby, I ain’t nobody’s fool
I ain’t nobody’s fool
You play with fire you’ll get burned
You dance in rain and you’ll be wet
You must eat to stay alive, yeah
And one more thing that I have learned
Is that a promise should be kept if love’s got a chance of surviving
But you must be the exception to the rule
And baby, I ain’t nobody’s fool
I ain’t nobody’s fool
I’m gonna strike a match and let the flames burn bright
Burn the bridge between you and me tonight
I ain’t nobody’s fool
So you can pick up your jaw right off the floor
Baby don’t look back when you hit the door
I ain’t nobody’s fool
But you must be the exception to the rule
And baby, I ain’t nobody’s fool
I ain’t nobody’s fool

You Dreamed For Me
Didn’t know I was watching but I was
The smile in your eyes was hard to deny
Didn’t know I was listening but I was
And you could not perceive how you helped me believe
There is love outside these limits
There is life outside these fences
Now I live the dream that you dreamed for me
Thank you
Didn’t know I was falling but I was
Searching to see if there was something in me
Didn’t know I was waiting but I was
Hoping to break free and you gave me eyes to see
There is love outside these limits
There is life outside these fences
Now I live the dream that you dreamed for me
Thank you
In all my days how could I repay all the gifts you gave to me
Now I see
There is love outside these limits
There is life outside these fences
Now I live the dream that you dreamed for me
Thank you

Johnny Cash

She’s got a full tank of gas
Out on the open road
And their playing Johnny Cash
On the radio
She’s finding out, she’s breaking out
She’s trying to outlast her past
And it’s just her and Johnny Cash
Out on the open road
She didn’t leave a note
When she took off today
With her pockets full of hope
And nothing left to say
She’s moving on, she’ll sing her song
She’ll chase the neon signs to better times
And it’s just her and Johnny Cash
Out on the open road
She passed through Regret 16 miles ago
And she lit a cigarette and drove on down the road
She’s driving on the open road with Johnny Cash
She don’t know where she’s going
But she will never look back
Cause she’s driving all alone on the open road with Johnny Cash
She don’t know where she’s going
But she will never look back
No she will never look back

Find My Way Home
04:50
|
|||
|
Can’t sleep in my own skin tonight
Guess I’ll hurry up and wait for the dawn
Don’t know how to say it right
But my world feels wrong.
I’ve been a lover and a liar, I’ve been a poet and a cheat
I’ve been to far off places where they ain’t got nothing left to eat
I’ve been the hero daughter with the picture perfect family
And I’ve played some real convincing victims in life’s tragedies.
And it seems I’ve spent my whole life,
Trying to find my way home.
Chorus:
Everybody’s got something to give
They got a right to freedom, got one life to live
And most people hold the keys to their prison doors
But I would give all I’ve got to live
For just one day when I didn’t feel alone
Cause it seems I’ve spent my whole life, trying to find my way home.
And I’ve been searching for the answers I’ve been diving for the truth
But I keep coming back up empty handed and I’m feeling like a fool
And I’m praying for the Savior to come and rescue me
Cause I’m drowning underneath the weight of all I’m supposed to be
And it seems I’ve spent my whole life, trying to find my way home.
Bridge:
And just when I thought all my dreams were real
Thought I’d finally found the end of the yellow brick road
I pulled the curtain back, only to reveal that
The wizard is just some old guy with a new angle.
Well what do you know?
Chorus:
Hey Dorothy could you score me a pair of those sparkly reds?
Hey Dorothy could you score me a pair of those sparkly reds?
Cause there ain’t no place
There ain’t no place like
There ain’t no place like home
There ain’t no place like it.

Counterfeit
02:40

She took it hard
It laid her out
Left her wondering what this life is all about
And she saw stars
Through bleary eyes
Picked herself up off the ground and realized
They can call it love
If it makes you feel like shit it’s counterfeit
She dusted off
Called some old friends
Told them she feared that she may never trust again
She listened close
To those who know
Who she is, where she’s been, where she’s trying to go
And they said
Let ‘em call it love
If it makes you feel like shit it’s counterfeit
She’s finding out life can play bitter tricks as she discovers
If it’s not love it’s counterfeit
She takes deep breaths
She found her smile
She’d forgotten where she’d placed it for awhile

Dance with me
And I’ll dance with you
I’ll try to let you lead as we one two and three
Like our grand-folks used to do
Dance with me
Dance with me
Cause you are to me
What the sunlight is for stained glass
Oh you are to me
What the sunlight is for stained glass
So let’s dance
Laugh with me
And I’ll laugh with you
Let’s shake off the dust from the little kids within us
And giggle an hour or two
Laugh with me
Laugh with me
There are purples and reds
Greens and yellows and pinks
Blues and oranges too
All of my colorful saved up wishes come out
When I spend time with you
When I spend time with you
Dream with me
And I’ll dream with you
And while we’re asleep we’ll have secrets to keep
Just between me and you
Dream with me
Dream with me
So let’s dance
Let’s laugh
Let’s dream, let’s live, let’s love let’s learn let’s be.

Firecracker

Daddy is looking for his shirt
Big train’s a’coming and it’s gonna hurt
I try and try to make the puzzle work
But we will never be what we were
Who we were
Firecrackers
Flying through the sky
They fall like the morning after the 4th of July
I used my fake ID for the first time
The night I found out that my hero died
And I was in a smoky phone booth where I cried and cried
I never got the chance to say goodbye
Firecrackers
Flying through the sky
They fall like the morning after the 4th of July
Wake up, wake up the house is on fire
Your dreams light up like a funeral pyre
Sit back and sing with the star spangled choir
Ashes, ashes we’re all so damn tired of
Firecrackers
Flying through the sky
They fall like the morning after the 4th of July

Love On
03:50

Oh, my Love
Love on till the dawn
Oh, my Love
Hold me tight through the night
Like a fire ever burning bright even rains cannot cease it
Like a fragrance filling up the twilight and remaining on the breezes
Hear the bells of a hundred cathedrals
See the light of a thousand tomorrows
Come my Love, let us love on
Oh, my Love
Love on till the dawn
Oh, my Love
Hold me tight through the night
Like the stars in constant reverie of the moon and all his faces
Like the season’s changing mystery all creation embraces
Hear the bells of a hundred cathedrals
See the light of a thousand tomorrows
Come my Love, let us love on
Come my Love, let us love on

Spent twenty-nine years walking down this road
Trying to find my way back home
Trying to brave the cold alone
Making empty promises to myself
Trying to please everybody else
Left my heart up on some shelf, for sale
I built these walls one by one
But I can’t tear them down
Cause it’s the hallowed ground where I’m meant to be found
So I’ll ask for holy hands to come
Wash them away one by one
Wash them away one by one
Oh and let your kingdom come
I keep my feet moving so I don’t feel scared
Don’t want to lay my heart out bare
Don’t know if anyone would care
But why does peace come at such a price
Why is living the truth harder than the lies
And when did I crawl in bed with compromise
I built these walls one by one
But I can’t tear them down
Cause it’s the hallowed ground where I’m meant to be found
So I’ll ask for holy hands to come
Wash them away one by one
Wash them away one by one
Oh and let your kingdom come
And blessed are those who have messed it all up,
wasted every single chance trying to get it right
Blessed are those who have messed it all up,
wasted every second chance trying to get it right
I built these walls one by one
But I can’t tear them down
Cause it’s the hallowed ground where I’m meant to be found
So I’ll ask for holy hands to come
Wash them away one by one
Wash them away one by one
Wash them away one by one
Oh and let your kingdom come

Hope Under Fire
Wide awake, but tired
Of watching the fighters expire
Everybody’s living among the dying
Can’t un-ring that bell but we’re still trying
Living on the edge of a thin line
Walking through the valley of the shadow, shadow
And I think it’s hard to find your faith in love when hope is under fire
Spend the days pacing the floor
Anticipating that knock on your door
Everybody’s praying you’ll make it through this one
Wish I could tell you that all is well when the day is done
Living on the edge of a thin line
Walking through the valley of the shadow, shadow
And I think it’s hard to find your faith in love when hope is under fire
I knew all along I could save you I could save you
And now that you’re gone what do I do if I can’t save you?

My Smile
02:20
|
|||
|
The pipes to the well of my words have been clogged recently
And I have no idea how to say what I feel which is probably just as well
Cause I wouldn’t say it eloquently anyway
And all I’m trying to say is
You found my smile
And I didn’t know it was lost till you returned it
You found my smile and your reward is my heart cause
What the hell, you’ve earned it
And I do think it’s strange you eat bacon but you don’t eat meat
Though you’ve coped pretty well with my aversion to feet
And you always let me win when I’m threatening to throw a conniption fit
And I guess I’ve digressed a bit but
You found my smile
And I didn’t know it was lost till you returned it
You found my smile and your reward is my heart cause
What the hell, you’ve earned it

I’d like to pack you a suitcase
Full of intangible things
Like the smell that the fall makes
And the sounds of spring
I’d make sure you had some laughter
Plenty of bundles of hope
Beautiful dreams to run after
And the strength to cope
And may the wind be at your back
When you’re high on the mountain
Or down in the meadow
May you always feel heaven
Smiling down on you
In joy and in sorrow
And may you always know your way home
I’d pack you nuggets of wisdom
Courage for when you are scared
Extra jars of compassion
For you to share
Melodies never ending
The eyes to see who you are
Freedom from needless pretending
And a peaceful heart
And may the wind be at your back
When you’re high on the mountain
Or down in the meadow
May you always feel heaven
Smiling down on you
In joy and in sorrow
And may you always know your way home
I wish you all things lovely, so lovely
And I wish you the chance to see your beauty, your beauty
And may the wind be at your back
When you’re high on the mountain
Or down in the meadow
May you always feel heaven
Smiling down on you
In joy and in sorrow
And may you always know your way home
