What Is It You Want From Me 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Well I turned the key, rolled down the window, headed up that California highway till I ran out of gas Searching high and low and all points in between for some kind of happiness that lasts I’ve got the wind in my hair, a short attention span and a fire at my heels All I know is I’m tired of my past, wanna get up, get out, see how the future feels What is it you want from me What is it you want from me I’m trying to lose a pack of miseries I can’t stick around and find out whether good times are going to find me Well I had a little girl who’d bring me rum and coke and crack my toes while I played my sitar I bought her closets full of shoes, high-end home electronics and a certified pre-owned car Then one day it was “Stay with me, stay with me, stay with me”, she’d become a greedy curmudgeon I couldn’t think, I couldn’t write, I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t get a damn thing done What is it you want from me What is it you want from me I’m trying to lose a pack of miseries What is it you want from me I’ve had a good time but baby, this was not it Well a lot of people, mostly ex-girlfriends say I’m some sort of blind, self-centered fool Throwing psychoanalytical catch phrases around just to accuse me of using them for my pleasure like a tool Well I don’t know if that’s right, I can’t make the connection, doesn’t seem to me like I’ve done anything out of the ordinary or wrong But if that’s the way they feel I completely understand it’s one of a million reasons why I feel I gotta move on What is it you want from me What is it you want from me I’m trying to lose a pack of miseries I seek shelter from my enemies What is it you want from me I’m going to have a good time or die tryin’ What is it you want from me What is it you want from me Hey, what is it you want from me

Now Is Only Now Now 02:54
lyrics

Magic in the air Magic on the airwaves I was listening when the giants convened Guiding the trip, creating the scene Surfer girls in summer dresses Making scenes and breaking hearts Life used to be boys and kisses Now it’s laundromats and shopping carts Ain’t no going back there But it ain’t never far away Now is only now now Soon enough tomorrow will be today People try to cheer me up Got something they want me to buy from them I say life could be so much sweeter Smell the roses while they’re still on the stem Ain’t no going back there But it ain’t never far away Now is only now now Soon enough tomorrow will be today Most of those I’ve loved the most Have up and gone away Either by the hand of God or by the hand of fate But the love they left behind continues to resonate Ain’t no going back there But it ain’t never far away Now is only now now Soon enough tomorrow will be today

Haunt In My Heart 03:09
lyrics
buy track
This ghost inside me Is fighting to remind me She can’t stand being neglected This haunt in my heart ain’t never gonna fade This haunt in my heart ain’t never gonna fade Sure as the heart on my sleeve is beating Sure as my point of view will not falter when the room is spinning Sure as the stars in my eyes are blinding Sure as my path to joy will not alter when the earth is quaking I could walk a million miles And not leave her behind This ghost inside me Is fighting to remind me She can’t stand being neglected This haunt in my heart ain’t never gonna fade This haunt in my heart ain’t never gonna fade Sure as the blood in my brain gives me headaches Sure as my aspirations and optimism are limitless Sure as the soles of my shoes are worn thin Sure as the light in my life is always smiling from a distant plane I could walk a million miles And not leave her behind This ghost inside me Is fighting to remind me She can’t stand being neglected This haunt in my heart ain’t never gonna fade This haunt in my heart ain’t never gonna fade….

I have more dreams than sense, you know Don’t mind my fortune’s ebb and flow My lot in life ain’t daunting Rest assured, I will never leave you wanting Oceans of love, rivers of love Mountains of love, forests of love Forests of love, forests of love Mountains of love, forests of love I feel your heartbeat everywhere Soaring, swirling through the air Life’s a happy birthday cake Blow the candle, unwrap So many gifts to take! Oceans of love, rivers of love Mountains of love, forests of love Forests of love, forests of love Mountains of love, forests of love Oceans of love, rivers of love Mountains of love, forests of love Forests of love, forests of love Mountains of love, rivers of love Forests of love

Out In The Street 03:55
lyrics
buy track
I left a letter on someone’s window Just to let them know I’ve gone Been baffled by the lies and explanations I never did no one harm I’ll raise a glass and fake a smile It ain’t going to bother me Sun gonna shine, heart gonna beat Whatever ain’t mine is out in the street I’ve changed my mind, my soul has been freed Whatever ain’t mine is out in the street Yeah out in the street I’m tired and bored of being on the outside Seeing the wrong people win People talkin’ at me making no sense They’ve never been where I’ve been The way that time is passing me I’ve got none to waste on fools Sun gonna shine, heart gonna beat Whatever ain’t mine is out in the street I’ve changed my mind, my soul has been freed Whatever ain’t mine is out in the street Yeah out in the street Got no ball and chain I’m sober, somewhat sane The blues ain’t mine, they’re out in the street Sun gonna shine, heart gonna beat Whatever ain’t mine is out in the street Who had faith in me while I tried to make ends meet Whatever ain’t mine is out in the street Yeah out in the street Out in the street Out in the street

It Tore Me Up 04:01
lyrics

Standing at her door Teardrop in my eye Almost hit the floor when she told me ‘bout another guy It tore me up, tore me up It tore me up, tore me up Wasted nights of sweet talk Page and page of rhyme Woman only balked while I wasted all my precious time It tore me up, tore me up It tore me up, tore me up Oh, what it was was a beautiful feeling Winter, Spring, Summer in love Why it fell apart in the Fall I don’t know It tore me up Yeah, gonna leave this town Find a wide and open road Shut a few things down, forget a bit of what I’ve known, yeah Yeah, gonna leave this town Find a wide and open road Forget about her heart and never be reminded It tore me up, tore me up It tore me up, tore me up.

Tell Me Everything About Her 03:02
lyrics
buy track
From North Ontario She got the notion to roam And find an empty heart And make herself at home Tell me everything about her Every little thing she’s said and done Tell me all there’s to know about her The girls in this old town They're vain and underfed They drink and sleep around They’re not the kind you’d wed Tell me everything about her Every little thing she’s said and done Tell me all there’s to know about her I’m the hapless fool Who never wins at nothing I’m the king of sitting alone at parties In the middle of my life I want love everlasting I want an angel to walk me home, home So preacher ring the chapel bell I’m gonna set the date ‘Cause if she knew me well She wouldn’t hesitate So tell her everything about me Every little thing I've said and done Tell her all there’s to know about me Yes then, tell me everything about her Every little thing she’s said and done Tell me all there’s to know about her.

Don't That Beat All 03:02
lyrics
buy track
Well it never used to be like this I used to laugh at love Used to be the one to walk out When push came to shove But now I’m writing poetry And singing sweet, sweet things And I fly through the air knocking people down Every time the telephone rings Could it be, could it be I’m really in love Yes I do believe that’s so Don’t that beat all, don’t that beat all Well I used be such a nasty guy And treat my women mean Walking ‘round with my fists clenched tight Ready to make a scene But now I’m sweet as candy Smile at everyone I see Help old ladies cross the street The epitome of gallantry Could it be, could it be I’m really in love Yes I do believe it’s so Don’t that beat all, don’t that beat all Well, I believe, yes I do I sincerely believe we were meant to be together Seems, yes it do It certainly seems I’m gonna love that little girl forever Late, when it’s late In the midnight hour I need her by my side She got the love I can’t live without She keeps me satisfied Don’t that beat all Well, if you would have told me a year ago I’d ever be acting this way I would have told you man it can’t be so And I’d bet you all my pay It’s amazing what the power of love can do There’s been a metamorphosis in me And I testify before finding you I was blind but now I see That I can love, I can love, I really can love and I can’t deny it’s true Don’t that beat all, don’t that beat all Well, don’t that beat, don’t that beat all Someone like me is so enthralled Don’t that beat, don’t beat all

’m travelin' eastward on the Heartbreak Line My ticket to leave my sorry past behind Yes, I’m riding the Heartbreak Line And I'm running from pain on this lonesome train The Heartbreak Line The hateful words that tumbled from her lips Struck me down and stung me like a whip Promises she pulled out of her purse Lover’s vows now haunt me like a curse So I’m riding the Heartbreak Line And I running from pain on this lonesome train The Heartbreak Line The hobos ridin' with me on this car Tell me to forget you must go far Why, there’s a gentle man who’s been ridin' for thirty years Still every night his face is lined with tears We’re all riding the Heartbreak Line And we’re running from pain on this lonesome train The Heartbreak Line

I can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind for you Well it almost always sometimes never happens ‘spite your best intentions Hearts go our meandering Some say you ain’t mine I shun those naysayers I can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind for you They’re black and blue and green with envy You paint pretty pictures for me Mellow yellows and orange sunshine There are those who want what’s mine I scorn those ne’er-do-wells I can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind for you I can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind Can’t help it baby, I go out of my mind for you For you For you For you
