Long Strange Trip
08:49
|
|||
|
Don’t need to be cool, don’t need to be right
I just the strength to keep up the fight
Don’t want to be rich, don’t want to be poor
I just want enough, well maybe a little more….
Sometimes I feel so desperate
To feel okay in side my head
But I thank my lucky starts up above
That I’m a fool, a fool who fell in love
But I thank my lucky starts up above
That I’m a fool, a fool who fell in love
Life can be so damn hard you can feel your fingers slip
Just like Jerry sang, “It’s a long strange trip…”
It’s a long strange trip
It’s a long strange trip
Don’t want to be young, I’d rather be old
Some of life’s lessons learned are worth their weight in gold
Don’t need to be happy, just don’t want to be sad
Sometimes I just need a day where I don’t feel so goddamn mad
Sometimes I feel so desperate
To feel okay in side my head
But I thank my lucky starts up above
That I’m a fool, a fool who fell in love
But I thank my lucky starts up above
That I’m a fool, a fool who fell in love
Life can be so damn hard you can feel your fingers slip
Just like Jerry sang, “It’s a long strange trip…”
It’s a long strange trip
It’s a long strange trip
It’s a long strange trip
It’s a long strange trip
It’s a long strange trip
It’s a long strange trip

You Are The One

Oh you were strutting cross the dance floor
Made me wanna watch just a little more
All the people buzzing in the ballroom
Band was playing such a fine tune
Oh it seemed you want to woo me
Asking all your friends if they knew me
Oh you were moving my direction
Think you were looking for connection
I don’t know if you are the one for me
Maybe I should let you try
I don’t know if you are the one for me
Maybe I should let you try
Oh I could tell you are a charmer
When I freely gave my number
Oh I look in to your eye
So much more to my surprise
Oh you made me feel so pretty
With all the words that you tell me
Oh you had your soul in your pocket
Babe I’ve got the key let’s unlock it
I don’t know if you are the one for me
Maybe I should let you try
I don’t know if you are the one for me
Maybe I should let you try
Yes I know and I see, I'm for you and you're for me
Yes I know and I see, I'm for you and you're for me
Yes I know and I see, I'm for you and you're for me
Yes I know and I see, I'm for you and you're for me
Yes I've got a bag or two,
But that's the same as everyone
I promise I will never bring you down,
I just want to get you high
I don’t know if you are the one for me
I don’t know if you are the one for me
I don’t know if you are the one for me
Maybe I should let you try

Ragged Soul
05:05
|
|||
|
Well I was fixing to fix my broken string
It shattered in the most amazing dream
Every heart was young every soul was old
And we all danced like the brave and the bold
So put your head in the clouds and keep the rocks under feet
Cause baby it’s time to roll
Music is the medicine that heals my ragged soul
Mend me with the melody held me together with the groove
Stitch by stitch, stitch by stitch
Well I had tears in my eyes I wept with joy
Listening to Frianti’s voice
I got my girls by my side my heart full of love
Letting the emotion rain in from above
Not all that bleeds is red, not every grass is green
But this joint is ready to roll
Music is the medicine that heals my ragged soul
Mend me with the melody held me together with the groove
Stitch by stitch, stitch by stitch
If you go back to the start of a broken heart
You can put together things torn apart
Cause there is healing within it’s like learning to talk
You must find a way to let your soul rock
So keep your head in the stars and sing from your soul
Baby you start to rock and roll
Music is the medicine that heals my ragged soul
Mend me with the melody held me together with the groove
Stitch by stitch, stitch by stitch

Licorice lips and plastic kisses
I felt your heat on my celophane door
Bit my tongue on peppermint wishes
Still I wanted more, still I wanted
More………………….
Hey oh, still I wanted more
Candy coated grin between your lips
Licked your skin on the 19th floor
Lost my mind when I touched your hips
Still I wanted more, still I wanted
More………..
Hey oh, still I wanted more
Hey oh, still I wanted more
Sticky sweet dreams of my baby's caress
Cinnamon swirl on your body I’ll pour
Saw your lady fingers beneath you dress
Still I wanted more, still I wanted
More……….
Hey oh, still I wanted more
Hey oh, still I wanted more
Hey oh, still I wanted more

Broken
05:46

|
Don’t wanna worry no more bout the goddamn government
Why don’t cut all the bullshit and show us where the money went
Don’t wanna dwell no more on the heart aches of my past
Gotta keep pushing forward for my heart, let this love last
I am not broken, I have healed
I’m not your disappointment, like a falling star…I'm gonna shine right through your darkness
Don’t wanna live in a world full of endless greed
While so many good people struggle just to get what they need
Don’t wanna feel the need to cry when I turn on the TV
So much dying and crying and hatred that it’s hard to breathe
I am not broken, I have healed
I’m not your disappointment, like a falling star…I'm gonna shine right through your darkness

Hold Our Position
08:30
|

|
So many things are such a mess
All this pain world round
There is fighting in the streets
This and more I can endure
Long as you and I are right
We got to hold our position yes
Point our face up to the stars
We got to hold our position yes
Make it through the roughest part
I want to feel good, I want to look good
By your side tonight
I want to feel good, I want to feel right
In your arms tonight
I want to feel good, I want to look good
By your side tonight
I want to feel good, I want to feel right
In your arms tonight
I can weep til the tears run dry
Won’t help the pain in my heart
Frames of mind can get stuck tight
Leaving me lost and alon
But I swear if you just hold on
It will all turn out right
We got to hold our position yes
Point our face up to the stars
We got to hold our position yes
Make it through the roughest part
I want to feel good, I want to look good
By your side tonight
I want to feel good, I want to feel right
In your arms tonight
I want to feel good, I want to look good
By your side tonight
I want to feel good, I want to feel right
In your arms tonight

Henrilee, what did you do to me?
Drive me crazy, yet still I long for you.
Hernrilee, you tore my heart to pieces.
Still I am under your spell.
You know I’ve been tempted. Tempted to stray.
But I can’t risk losing you, oh Hernrilee
Henrilee, I heard you say you love me.
But you treat me just like some old work shoes.
Henrilee, you say that I complete you.
Then why you have to take so much from me.
You know I’ve been tempted. Tempted to stray.
But I can’t risk losing you, oh Hernrilee
They say that opposites attract.
I think you just cancel me out.
All I want is to love you.
But all we seem to do is scream and shout
Ah scream and shout
You know I’ve been tempted. Tempted to stray.
But I can’t risk losing you,
No I can’t risk losing you, oh Henrilee.
La dada dadee da da, Henrilee
La dada dadee da da, Henrilee
La dada dadee da da, Henrilee
La dada dadee da da
No I can’t risk losing you

Woke Up In A Mood
03:52

Woke up in a mood today
Couldn’t push the blues away
Though I tried, oh lord I tried
Wasn’t feeling strong enough
My will was weakened stuff
So easy to fall into the gloom
And sometimes I get angry, at the silliest things
And I feel unlike myself anymore
Woke up in a mood today
Couldn’t sing the blues away
So I cried, I cried so hard
Not like things aren’t going right
Even though the money’s tight were happy
Just the four of us
Oh sometimes I get angry, at the silliest things
And I feel unlike myself anymore
Sometimes it’s the baby crying
Or some guy driving too close to me
Sometimes it’s just the tone of your voice
That pushes me over the edge
And all the emotions come rushing
From all the bad things that have ever happened to me
And that just makes me angrier still
Cause it’s not who I want to be
Cause it ain’t me, no it ain’t me, not at all
Woke up in a mood today
Couldn’t chase the blues away
So I lied, lied to myself
Woke up in a mood today

Don't Go Wasting My Time

I wanna know your intentions
Fore you step by my side
Nothing but truth babe
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Cause mama’s on the clock
Don’t go wasting my time
And now it’s time to rock
So many days have been scratched
Off the calendar of life
Lord knows I ain’t looking babe
For any more trouble and strife
Don’t go wasting my time
Cause mama’s on the clock
Don’t go wasting my time
And now it’s time to rock
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
Don’t go wasting my time
