Good Times
03:09
|

|
Finally open up my eyes
Go and put the car in drive
And it don't even matter where it goes
Come and take a ride with me
Be my passenger, my company
And we'll go down every single road
These are the good times
Let's go crazy, crazy love
No matter what comes around
Sun goes up, sun goes down
With you I know I'm not alone
And if this life is a gift to me
Then I'll let it happen naturally
And go down every single road
These are the good times
Let's go crazy, crazy love
I'm awake and I'm alive
I won't play the victim
I won't be another bitter soul
There is no currency
In this economy
Like the peace of mind
Of you by my side
In these good times

California C'mon
03:16
|
|||
|
Windows down on the side of the road
Spare tire puts a hole in the drive
My car is a piece of work for sure
But it gets me home alright
I spoke my mind to the night, I said
"Listen up! 'Cause I've got my point of view
I've got to see my baby and her smiling face
I've got no time to lose."
California c'mon
Making my way down the 405
California c'mon
I've got to see my baby tonight
Music man, a dream, a guitar
Her friends were of concern
A boy like this will never be faithful
And soon enough you'll learn
So I said to her friends, "You'd better
Listen up! 'Cause I've got my point of view
I've got to see my baby and her smiling face
I've got no time to lose."
California c'mon
Making my way down the 405
California c'mon
I've got to see my baby tonight
I'm going to kiss her real slow
From her head to her toes
Making up for all of our lost time
California c'mon
I've got to see my baby tonight
And when I walk right through the door
And she puts her arms around me
I'll know I couldn't ask for more

Downtown Girl
03:53
|
|||
|
She buys herself a cup of coffee
Holds it close to warm her hands
And I'm losing myself to her denim & pearls
I know she's my downtown girl
She lays her head in a small town
Some day she'll rest it next to me
And in every street light and every turn
I know she's my downtown girl
Surrounded in this towered maze, she tries to find
Her way down these one-way streets
But where she walks I will line my steps beside
And I know one day she will
One day we'll wake up and this town
Just won't look quite the same
But no matter our fate or the state of the world
She'll always be:
Morning sunrise and midnight love affairs
Autumn sunset and firelight in winter air
I'll thank God that I met her and never forget
That she's my downtown girl

Long Shot
04:02
|
|||
|
I will lift up my hands
And place a white flag in the ground
We'll dig our graves by bedside
If we don't lay these weapons down
We don't have to go and break our hearts
We don't have to go and fall apart
I want you and only you
I'll take the long shot, 'cause I want forever
On more than words I'll make my proof
That you're the one I choose
Only you
Pattern through the street lights
Tracing the numbers and figures out
In spite of how it may have seemed
The ones you love don't always leave
There is no abuse if it's love we choose
I want you and only you
I'll take the long shot, 'cause I want forever
On more than words I'll make my proof
That you're the one I choose
Only you
I'll give the best you see and all of the rest of me
Oh you'll be no waste of my time
So make it your destiny to spend your life next to me
Oh you'll be alright
I want you and only you
I'll take the long shot, 'cause I want forever
On more than words I'll make my proof
That you're the one I choose
Only you

Runaway Train
03:03
|
|||
|
It was a matter of time before that crash
It was a matter of things not built to last
And in my heart there is a spark, I can light it
But it's a matter of time before that crash
So take it back like this
To your red lips
I'll be the sucker kid
For the swing of your hips
Come be my runaway train
And without a trace
Baby, we can find a hideaway
It was a matter of time before that crash
It was a matter of things not built to last
And I will fight for how I choose to define it
But it's a matter of time before that crash
So take it back like this
To your red lips
I'll be the sucker kid
For the swing of your hips
Come be my runaway train
And without a trace
Baby, we can find a hideaway

Ready Eyed
03:43
|
|||
|
Come heavens upon me
Rain ashes before me
I'm ready eyed in a cold sweat
Ghosts arise and I'm cold
Come carry my body
Through caverns of glory
I'm ready eyed in a cold sweat
Ghosts arise and I'm cold

The Valley
03:09
|
|||
|
Stuck in the where-bouts
Tossed in some run-round
In a wasteland of caffeine and fear
A blue-eyed beauty
Is slow-dancing through me
And now I'm caught up in an after-clear
And I don't know why
It took a landslide down
To find you
But don't go nowhere
We'll build a fire, I'll bring a song
And we'll lay in the valley
'Til days are gone
Far from the burn-bright
Lost in a moon-night
I followed shadows and disappeared
But you found the hideout
Hunted me right down
And stayed with me through all these years
And I don't know why
It took a landslide down
To find you
But don't go nowhere
We'll build a fire, I'll bring a song
And we'll lay in the valley
'Til days are gone
