[Joey]
That was my brother lost in the rubble
Chorus:
I found spirit, they couldn't ruin it
Chorus:
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
Chorus:
Where we once were divided now we stand united
Undivided.
One for love
I used to be the kind of guy
Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Chorus:
Change, everybody's feelin' strange
Goodbye to all those rainy nights Chorus:
Hit the gas, take the wheel, I just made myself a deal
Guitar Solo
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on
Chorus:
There's a train out in the distance, destination still unknown
There's a rose outside your window, the first snow is falling down
Chorus:
There's a thread that runs between us pulling 'cross this great divide
Chorus:
There's a neverending story that begins with you and I
Chorus:
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
Joey Keys was from my neighborhood
Though he couldn't read or write too well but we'd talk all night long.
Come on, come on, come on
Chorus:
Hey Joey
See Joe was 3 years younger to the day
Chorus:
Hey Joey
Hey Joey
Chorus:
Hey Joey
We're gonna find a better life
Should I? Could I?
You cried, I died
Chorus:
Could I? Should I?
You cried, I tried
Chorus:
Guitar Solo
It's you and I, just think about it...
Chorus:
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Looking at the pages of my life
Chorus:
I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
Chorus:
You can take this world away
Guitar Solo
Chorus:
All about lovin' you
Hello, is there anybody out there?
Chorus:
Are you there?
Chorus:
Save me, save me
Guitar Solo
Calling out around the world
Chorus:
Save me, save me,
A friend of a friend needs a favor
Me and the wife, we need the money
Chorus:
We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
Chorus:
We'll make the grade, they'll know our names, I need a friend to drive here
Guitar Solo
A friend of a friend needed a favor
Chorus:
This world don't give you nothing it can't take away
No forgiveness on the streets of this town
Tonight I need you
Chorus:
These days I'd trade sight for feeling
When I lost my faith
That I need you
Chorus:
Guitar Solo
Chorus:
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
Standing here my hands in my pockets
Chorus:
When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone
You come to me and take my hand
Chorus:
And when you're laying down beside me
Chorus:
From hello
I been knocked down so many times
Chorus:
This ain't no game; I play it hard
Chorus:
Bounce!
Guitar Solo
Bring it on, I like it rough
Chorus:
Bounce, Bounce
I saw you coming from a mile away
Last thing you need's another pickup line
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
Chorus:
I got your taste in the back of my mouth
It breaks, it aches, it takes your breath away
Chorus:
Guitar solo
It's 2 am, it's last call, baby. The barkeep's gone, I'll walk you home now
Chorus:
Thunder cracks, the sky is crying
Should I cry a little more?
Living's hard and dying's easy
Should I cry a little more?
Thunder cracks, the sky is crying
Should I cry a little more?
Tonight the moon's as pretty as a brand new rose
Out here the days they don't have names they've got numbers
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Now before the summer sun gets chased away
I'm sending postcard from the wasteland
Tonight I'll meet you in my dreams
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland

[Postcards From The Wasteland]UNDIVIDED
That was my sister lost in the crush
That was our mothers, those were our children
That was our fathers, that was each one of us
A million prayers to God above
A million tears make an ocean of
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
I found courage in the smoke and dust
I found faith in the songs you silenced
Deep down it's ringing out in each of us
Yeah... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
We stand as one... undivided.
How many hands? How many hearts?
How many dreams been torn apart?
Enough, enough... the time has come to rise back as
One for love
One for truth
One for me, one for you
We stand as one... undivided.
Undivided.
One for truth
One for me, one for you
Where we once were divided, now we stand united
We stand as one... undivided.EVERYDAY
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but to a lot to lose
Thought I had a lot to prove
In my life there's no denying
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way
I had enough of crying, bleeding, sweating, dying
Hear me when I say, gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky, spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
Gonna live my life everyday
Never gonna be the same
Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning
Life, learning how to live my life
Learning how to pick my fights
Take my shots while I'm still burning
Goodbye, so long, I'm moving on
I've had enough of crying, bleeding, sweating, dying
Hear me when I say, gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky, spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
Gonna live my life everyday
There ain't nothing gonna get in my way
Everyday
I've had enough of crying, bleeding, sweating, dying
Hear me when I say, gonna live my life everyday
I'm gonna touch the sky and spread these wings and fly
I ain't here to play
Gonna live my life everydayTHE DISTANCE
Far away where no one's waiting, so far from home, so far from home
Like that lonesome whistle blowing
I keep on going, keep on going...
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance
It's only there for the believers
Don't stop believing, don't stop believing
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distance, I'll go the distance
Like the rose outside your window
Don't let it die, don't let it die
Close your eyes and see my blue skies breaking through these dark clouds
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and your arms are reaching through the night
You are the light
In my mind I see your red dress and my arms are reaching through the night
I'll never give up the fight
I'll go the distanceJOEY
Some would say that he was bad and Joe thought that was good
Joey got the name "Keys" picking locks
He never really robbed no one; it sure amused the cops
Joey's parents owned a restaurant
After closing time they'd give us almost anything we'd want
I never cared that Joey Keys was slow
What you gonna do with your life?
Come on, come on, come on
Chasing sparks in the nights
His old man said tomorrow is a ride that goes nowhere
But I'll pull some strings, get blackbird wings
And break us out of there
Hey Joey
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
Sometimes you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright
We're gonna find a better life
Acting like a little brother but became my ball and chain
I met this girl named Rhonda, she fell for me
She said, "I might learn to like him but love ain't built for three."
Hey Joey
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
Sometimes you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright
News gets around in this fading neighborhood
The old man lost the restaurant
He drinks more than he should
It's time for Joey keys to do some good
Pick the lock off our lives, let's get out of here like we always said we would
Hey Joey
C'mon tell me 'bout your dreams
Tell me all the sights you're gonna see
Tell me who you're gonna be
You're gonna kiss the girls goodnight
Sometimes you got to stand and fight
It'll be alright
Find a better life
Find a better lifeMISUNDERSTOOD
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
I'm wasting time when I think about it
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, Did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
It's not so bad when you think about it
I should have drove all night, I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions good
I should have drove all night
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
I 'm hanging outside your door
I've been here before
Misunderstood
Damn, misunderstood
Intentions goodALL ABOUT LOVIN' YOU
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my face
I'm all about lovin' you
Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' youHOOK ME UP
I'm alone hanging by a thread
Everywhere around the world
Everybody's waiting for someday
Calling out around the world
Maybe someday might be tonight
Hook me up
I'm reaching out for you, come on
Hook me up
I know you can do it, come on, take me on
Tell me what you're feeling.
Your fears and all your wildest dreams
Everyone around the world
Is feeling just the same way that we are
Reaching out around the world
Will someone somewhere throw me a line?
Hook me up
I'm reaching out for you, come on
Hook me up
I know you can do it, come on, take me on
Save me, save me
Hello, is there anybody out there?
Maybe someday might be tonite
Hook me up
I'm reaching out for you, come on
Hook me up
I know you can do it, come on, take me on
Hook me up
I'm hanging on the line, come on
Hook me up
Make me come alive, come on, take me on
Save me, save meRIGHT SIDE OF WRONG
No questions asked, there's not much more to say
We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'
Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye
And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
In a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life
We'll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, we'll stop at lookers on the way
back
Hell, we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
I'll take that suitcase, get the cash and we'll be gone before you know
Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...
Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans
We never saw nothing, there was a run-in
.9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cop said, "Show your hands!"
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of WrongLOVE ME BACK TO LIFE
Everybody holding on to something
Nobody wants to fade away
I left my patience at a traffic light
There's no denying that I almost lost it
Threw in the towel, too tired to fight
More than yesterday
Tonight I need you
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
There are days my feeling's gone
Can't figure out whose life I'm living
I don't know right from wrong
You found it and gave it back to me
There's a new light on your halo; it took blind eyes to see
More than yesterday
Yeah, I need you
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
Take me, touch me, hold me like you mean it
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me
Make me come alive
Hurt me, heal me, come and make me feel it
Rescue me tonight
Love me back to life
Love me back to life
Love me back to life
Love me back to lifeYOU HAD ME FROM HELLO
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I can't see nothing wrong
It's half past eight, it's getting late
It's OK, take your time
Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
You just smile and steal the show
We start dancin' slow
You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low
From the first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
I feel your heartbeat to remind me...
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
From helloBOUNCE
Counted out 6, 7, 8, 9
Written off like some bad deal
If you're breathing you know how it feels
Call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just don't give a
Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again
Kicked around, cut, stitched and scarred
I'll take the hit but not the fall
I know no fear, still standing tall
You can call it karma, call it luck
Me, I just don't give a
Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again
In your face, I call your bluff
It ain't karma, it ain't luck
Me, I just don't give a
Bounce, Bounce Nothing's gonna keep me down
Bounce, Bounce Stand up, shout it out
Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back again
Nothing's gonna keep me down

Bounce, Bounce I play hard, I play to win
Count me out, count me in
I'll be bouncing back againOPEN ALL NIGHT
Trying to hide behind that pretty face
Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue
You must have heard them all a thousand times
God only knows what you been through
Believe me I been broken too
I've been around that block a time or two
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
I want to reach in and pull it out
And I'd be lying if I didn't say
When you're this close I'm afraid
Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair
The way I'll miss you when you're not there
And that I'll see you when I close my eyes
It's too late, I've crossed that line
I'll still be around come closing time
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
Save me, baby
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth
Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all nightNO REGRETS
On her back she's pushing, trying
He holds her hand and kneels beside her bed
Break the silence, baby's screaming
In slow motion she ain't dreaming
She closed her eyes, looked up to God and says
Should I try a little more?
I pay the cost and laugh it off
And do it all a thousand times again
No regrets
My mistakes, they won't defeat me
I like to burn a candle at both ends
I broke some hearts, been broken hearted
Run away from fires I've started
I didn't break but tried my best to bend
Should I try a little more?
I pay the cost and laugh it off
And do it all a thousand times again
No regrets for things I've done
No regrets for wars I've won
No regrets for fires I've started
No regrets for faith departed
Hey, Hey
On her back she's pushing, trying
Holds her hand and kneels beside her
Only faith left there to guide her
Should I try a little more?
Should I lie a little more?
Or get high a little more?
I pay the cost and laugh it off
And do it all a thousand times
Should I ...
Should I ...
Should I ...
No regrets
No regrets
No regrets
No regretsPOSTCARDS FROM THE WASTELAND
And nosey stars, they seem to know where everybody goes
As poets reach for words with broken motel pens
Here's something to hold on to 'til I come home again
And the nights just seem to fade into each other
Jilted lovers are like fireflies, each one with a spark
Trying to fill the hole where once there was a heart
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Postcards from the wasteland
And all of our tomorrows turn to yesterdays
I'm going to build you that castle
I'm going to write you that song
I've got to find the words to say
Until I hold you in my arms
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
Postcards from the wasteland
See you soon
Love,
Me
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Following my headlights down the highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
Following my headlights down this highway in the dark
I'm sending postcards from the wasteland
Postmarked from the state of my heart
In care of wherever you are
