[Have A Nice Day]
[I Want Be Loved]
[Welcome To Wherever You Are]
Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Oh, if there's one thing I hang onto that gets me thru the nite
Take a look around you; nothing's what it seems
Oh, if there's one thing I hang onto that gets me thru the night
I had a roof overhead
So who am I now?
I'm gonna live
I found a picture
I'm gonna live
I ain't gonna cry; I don't wanna scream
I'm gonna live
Maybe we're all different but we're still the same
If you feel alone and lost and need a friend
Welcome to wherever you are
When everybody's in and you're left out
When it's seems you're lost, alone and feeling down
Welcome to wherever you are
Be who you want to be
When you want to give up and your heart's about to break
Welcome to wherever you are
I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place
I been there, done that
Who says you can't go home
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face
Who says you can't go home
I been there, done that and I ain't looking back
It doesn't matter where you are, It doesn't matter where you go
Come see a living, breathing spectacle only seen right here
You ain't seen nothing like him, he's the last one of the breed
Here's the last man standing
See those real live calloused fingers wrapped around those guitar strings
Here's the last man standing
Take your seats, now folks – it's showtime
Here's the last man standing
I have walked all alone
I was lost, on my knees
So far away from everything you know is true
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Up the steps of the church
So far away
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Ring them bells, ring them loud
She wakes up when I sleep to talk to
ghosts like in the movies
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
That girl's sure put a spell on me
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows
Yesterday's a memory
Nobody knows…
She wakes up when I sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies.
Regrets are all you left on your lipstick stains
Your love's like one last cigarette
Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be
Your love's like one last cigarette
No one told me, she told me
Your love's like one last cigarette
How you spend your minutes are what matters
It seems you always wait for life to happen
I am
We're just who we are, there's no pretending
Chorus: I am
I ain't got no halo hanging over my head
Chorus: I am
Take a look around, this is what I see
I'm complicated, I get frustrated
I'm smart enough to know what I don't know
I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Is there anybody out there?
I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Is there anybody out there?
You can take back all your secrets
Keep your rolodex of friends
I tell myself I (feel no pain)
You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight)
I tell my self I (feel no pain)
Well things ain't what they used to be
Yesterday's a memory
This is the story of my life
I'm gonna write the melody
This is the story of my life
This is the story of my life
This is the story of my life
I light a candle
Hit the lights
We act like strangers
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
And I'll come crawling to your window tonight

Who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Momma, can you help me try to understand
Is innocence the difference 'tween a boy and a man?
My daddy lived to die, that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to; I'm gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face, I say…
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I've knocked on every door on every dead-end street
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe
I ain't gonna do what I don't' want to; I'm gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face, I say…
Have a nice day
Have a nice dayI WANT TO BE LOVED
Had shoes on my feet
Yeah, sure I was fed
But no one was there when I was in need, yeah
Who do you want me to be?
I can forgive you but I won't re-live you
I ain't the same scared kid I used to be
I'm gonna survive
I don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
Our so-called family tree, yeah
I broke all the branches lookin' for answers
Don't you know that ain't how it's supposed to be?
I'm gonna survive
I don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give
I'm ready to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I wanna be loved
I wanna be…
But I got so much left unsaid inside of me
I'm gonna survive
Don't want the world to pass me by
I'm gonna dream
I ain't gonna die
Thinking my life was just a lie
I wanna give
I'm ready to try
Willing to lay it on the line
I wanna beloved
I wanna be loved
I just wanna be love
I wanna be loved
I wanna be loved
I wanna be lovedWELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end
This is your life; you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
That right here, right now
You're exactly where you're supposed to be
Welcome to wherever you are
And you feel you're drowning in the shadow of a doubt
Everyone's a miracle in their own way
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say
Remember everybody's different; just take a look around
This is your life; you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
Right here, right now
You're exactly where you're supposed to be
Be who you are
Everyone's a hero
Everyone's a star
Remember that you're perfect; God makes no mistakes
This is your life; you made it this far
Welcome, you got to believe
Right here, right now
You're exactly where you're supposed to be
And I say welcome…
I say welcome…
Welcome…WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME
I was looking for something I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
But I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown
Saving dimes spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go back
I been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase
I lived a million miles of memories on that road
With every step I take I know that I'm not alone
You take the home from the boy
But not the boy from his home
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known
Who says you can't go home
There's only one place they call me one of their own
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go home
I been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left I want to go
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home
It's been a long, long road
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes
If it's a million miles away or just ten miles up the road
Take it in , Take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home?LAST MAN STANDING
It's your last chance in this lifetime, the line forms at the rear
You won't believe your eyes
Your eyes will not believe your ears
Get your money out, get ready
Step right up, yeah you, come here
Better hold on to your, honey
Honeys, don't forget to breathe
Enter at your own risk, mister
It might change the way you think
There's no dancers, there's no diamonds
No, this boy don't lip synch
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel… the real thing
Kiss the lips where hurt has lingered
It breaks your heart to hear them sing
The songs were more than music, they were pictures from the soul
So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk
And your digital downloads
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel… the real thing
Hey, Patrick, hit the lights
There's something in the air, there's magic in the night
Now here's the band, the really play
I'll count the first one in
I don't know where it's going
We all know where it's been
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
To come and see, hear, feel…
The last man standing
Step right up, here's the real thing
The last chance of a lifetime
Come and see, hear, feel…
The real thing, the real thing, the real thing, the real thing…BELLS OF FREEDOM
On these streets I call home
Streets of hope, streets of fear
Through the sidewalk cracks time disappears
On the eve of defeat
As I choked back the tears
There’s a silent scream no one could hear
Something inside that makes you do what you got to do
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom
When your world’s crashing down
Like you’re lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the Bells of Freedom
Through the fields and the dirt
In the dark I have seen
That the sun still shines for the one who believes
So full of doubt and needing proof
Just close your eyes and hear the sounds inside of you
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom
When your world’s comes crashing down
Like you’ve lost every round
Stand your ground
And ring the bells of freedom
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom
Yeah, when your world comes crashing down
Like you’ve lost every round
Stand your ground and ring the Bells of Freedom
Ring them bells, ring them loud
Let them ring here and now
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom…WILDFLOWER
If you don't follow what I mean, I sure don't mean to be confusing
They say when she laughs she wants to cry
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
Wildflower
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket
If she's fire, I'm gasoline
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses
She's at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her
Tomorrow's accessory
That's her favorite quote about regret
Well, she'll tell you ‘bout her pedigree
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet
Nobody knows… a wildflower still grows
By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses, the roses
She feels at home with the weeds
And just as free as the night breeze
She's got the cool of a shade tree
She's growin' on me and I can't live without her
But nobody knows…
Nobody knows…
Nobody knows…
Nobody knows…
That's right…LAST CIGARETTE
Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray
We had our fun, I used to light your flame
Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way
No one told me, she told me
Last cigarette, I will savor it
The last cigarette
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends
But when it's gone, it's gone
The last cigarette
The smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep
Don't ask the past to last; it's about to change
The memories don't answer when I call your name
No one told me, she told me
Last cigarette, I will savor it
The last cigarette
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends
But when it's gone, it's gone
One last cigarette, last cigarette
One I can't forget, the last cigarette
Right there at my fingertips, I got your taste still on my lips
Right or wrong
You're still gone, gone, gone
The last cigarette
You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world
Last cigarette, I will savor it
The last cigarette
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends
But when it's gone, it's gone
One last cigarette, last cigarette
One I can't forget, the last cigarette
Right there at my fingertips, I got your taste still on my lips
Right or wrong
You're still gone, gone, gone
The last cigarette…I AM
All tomorrows come from yesterdays
When you're feeling broken, bruised and sometimes shattered
Blow out the candles on the cake
Like everything's a big mistake
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then life's worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I am, I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you
No one's there to understand
I am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand
I am
I am
I amCOMPLICATED
Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah
You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed
What you get ain't what you see
Up is down and black is white to me
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
I heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm fool enough to stay when I should go
You work, you work, you cry, you cry
You watch your whole life pass you by
Sometimes you've got to close your eyes to see
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
Heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, yeah
I'm complicated, yeah
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there, Just like me
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
I heard that song but I won't play it
It's alright, it's okay, you wouldn't want me any other way
Momma, keep on praying, ‘cause I ain't changin'
I'm complicated, I get frustrated
Right or wrong, love or hate it
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it
Heard that song but I won't play it
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there
Just like me
Is there anybody out there
Just like everybody out there
Just one somebody out there
Just like me
I'm complicatedNOVOCAINE
We'll divide up all the lies
Keep all the pictures in their frames
Just cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine
Sell the neighbors all my feelings
Go on give away my pride
It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night
And all the remnants can be mind
I guess there'll be no happy endings
When “once upon” is doing time
There's a different kind of meaning now
To livin' on a prayer
Some don't seem to notice
And the rest don't seem to care
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle running through my veins
I've changed my name to novocaine
You burned my favorite sweats from high school
Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK)
You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year
They say you do the crime, you do the time
It's all so clear
But I'm feeling the paint (walk away)
Can't walk away
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope
It's getting hard to cope you know
When you're the needle that's running through my veins
I've changed my name to novacaine (feel no pain)
Novacaine
It's a sleepless, self-help century
I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me…STORY OF MY LIFE
Another page of history
Sell yourself for hopes and dreams
That leave you feeling sideways
Tripping over my own feet
Trying to walk to my own beat
Another car out on the street
Trying to find the highway
Hey, are you going my way?
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK ‘cause
Anything can, everything can happen
That's the story of my life
That's gonna make history
Yeah, and when I paint my masterpiece
I swear I'll show you first
There just ain't a way to see
Who, when, why or what will be
‘Til now is then it's a mystery
A blessing and a curse
Or something worse, yeah
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK ‘cause
Anything can, everything can
I've been thinking
Baby, you can help me write the story of my life
Hey, whaddaya say?
And I write it everyday
And I hope you're by my side
When I'm writing the last page
And I write it everyday
I know it isn't black and white
And it's anything but gray
I know that no, I'm not alright
But I'll be OK ‘cause
Anything can, everything can
I've been thinking, baby we can..
This is the story of my life
The story of my life….DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
