Turn our sparks into tiny angels running ‘round in joy
Together pave the path they can ride on and make it
Yeah!!!
We’ve been waiting all night for the sunrise
Looking for the little piece of heaven we worked so hard to find
If I had one wish in this lifetime
Id Make our daydreams come to life, right before our eyes....
They say that life is what we make of it
Let's make it filled with laughs and Camping trips, and heartfelt souvenirs
Turn our sparks into tiny angels running ‘round in joy
Together pave the path they can ride on and make it
Bedtime making up white lies
About the tooth fairy who didn't show, she worked so late last night
All the missed stories and lullabies
I wanna Slay the dragons and closet monsters
Close those sleepy eyes
They say that life is what we make of it
Let's make it filled with laughs and Camping trips, and heartfelt souvenirs
Turn our sparks into tiny angels running ‘round in joy
Together pave the path they can ride on and make it
All the reasons to be thankful
All the seasons to be youthful
And cherish what we’re building in the image of ourselves
The love between two people
I can hardly imagine
being somebody for somebody else
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
We waited all night for the sunrise
Now I see the daydream in your eyes
They say that life is what we make of it
They say that life is what we make of it
They say that life is what we make of it
They say that life is what we make of it
They say that life is what we make of it
Let's make it filled with laughs and Camping trips, and heartfelt souvenirs
Turn our sparks into tiny angels runnin ‘round in joy
Together pave the path
they can ride on and make it .
Turn our sparks into tiny angels running round in joy
Together pave the path
they can ride on and make it .
Together pave the path
they can ride on and make it .
Together pave the path
they can ride on and make it .
Yeah!

See You Again
03:25
|

When you kissed me 1 time, I got the feelin’
Then you kissed me 2 times as you were leavin’
3 times, you had me believing’...
That I was gonna see you again
Na na naw na na naw
I guess it’s gonna come as no surprise
You had me in the blink of your dark brown eyes
Guilty and I can’t pretend
Where are we going now?
I guess it all depends
Morning sun and clear blue skies
I guess it’s really time to say goodbye
I Wanna hear you tell me again
That I’m your special kinda friend
When you kissed me 1 time, I got the feelin’
Then you kissed me 2 times as you were leavin’
And by the 3rd times, you had me believing’...
That I was gonna see you again
If you want my attention,
You know how to get it
Thought we had a good time, have to admit it
You had me believing when you did it,
that I was gonna see you again
Na na, na na a na naw
Solo
You typed one word, it just said “hi”
Jump outta my skin and hit reply
I really wanna see you again
But I gotta stop myself before I hit send
cuz soon enough,
I know we’re gonna hit rewind
Soon enough
you’re gonna have me on your mind cuz...
When I kissed ya 1 time, you got the feelin’
Then I kissed ya 2 times as you were leavin’
Yeah 3 times, had me believing’... again!
If you want my attention,
that’s the way to get it
Thought we had a good time, have to admit
You had me believing when you did it,
that I was gonna see you again
that I was gonna see you again
that I was gonna see you again
that I was gonna see you again
Na na, na na a na naw
More than just friends….
At least until the morning ends…
Na na, na na a na naw

Just Along For the Ride
04:19
|

You know my name
But ya know we’re not the same
I don’t care what’s up over there,
I’ve got no skin in the game
Got no dog in the race
Sometimes you show Sometimes you place
Sometimes you just flat out lose
and end up losing face
We’ve All been tested Lord knows
We’ve all been tried
We’ve all got bruises to show
and we’ve all cried
But don’t come crying to me
I ain’t taking a sigh
I’m just along for the ride
Y’all know what I’m sayin’
You take the pain with the gain
But you feel like a mouse on a wheel,
A horse chasing a train
So Whatcha want me to do?
I can’t dance in these high-class shoes
I was singing a song,
You were singing along
but we were singing the blues
But That ain’t me,
Can’t you see
We’ve All been tested Lord knows
We’ve all been tried
We’ve all got bruises to show
and we’ve all cried
But don’t come crying to me
I ain’t taking a sigh
I’m just along for the ride
Wo ho!
I'm just along for the ride!
Wo ho!
I'm just along for the ride!
Ooooooooo!…
Yeah
Ooooooooo!…
Yeah
You know my name
But you and I are not the same
I don’t care what’s up over there,
I’ve got no skin in the game
We’ve all been tested Lord knows
We’ve all been tried
We’ve all got bruises to show
and we’ve all cried
But don’t you come crying to me
I ain’t taking a sigh
We’ve All been tested Lord knows
We’ve all been tried
We’ve all got bruises to show
and we’ve all cried
But don’t you come crying to me
I ain’t taking a sigh
I’m just along for the ride
Whoah oh, come on in
Just along for the ride
Oooh yeah, I'm just along for the ride
Oooh yeah, I'm just along for the ride

Feels So Real
04:52
|
|||
Every cloud that passes over
And every leaf that hits the ground
Every stranger, every lover
Seems to leave without a sound
When you look over your shoulder
At the road you were rollin on
With every mile you’re getting older
One day you’re here, and then you’re gone
You can’t see it
But when the wind blows cold
We all feel it
But I want you to know
When it Feels So Real
Don’t keep it inside
When you’ve got nothing you’ve got nothing to hide.
Let’s make a deal
When it all hits the ground
I’ll still be around
When you’re weary of the battle
Every cut and every bruise
You’ve got to get back in the saddle
The war is ours to loose
We can’t see it
But when the wind blows cold
We all feel it
Still, I want you to know
When it Feels So Real
Don’t keep it inside
When you’ve got nothing you’ve got nothing to hide.
Let’s make a deal
When it all hits the ground
I’ll still be around
When it Feels So Real
Don’t keep it inside…
You’ve got nothing to hide.
Let’s make a deal
When it all hits the ground
I’ll still be around
Solo
You can’t see it
but when the wind is blowing cold
We all feel it
I still want you to know
When it Feels So Real
yeah… you’ve got nothing to hide.
When it Feels So Real
Wooohooo….
you’ve got nothing to hide.
you’ve got nothing to hide.
Ooooo
When it all hits the ground
I’ll still be around

I was Halfway to Houston
thought I’d make a pit-stop and tell ya
I don’t feel like I used to
my future is clear as a bell
The world is my oyster
if I can get it out of the shell
Sometimes you draw water
Sometimes you just fall down the well
I can make it to heaven
But First I’m gonna ride like hell
Cuz your words don’t mean anything to me
The end of the line is as far as my eyes can see
Look around at the end of the race
I’ll be caught rockin’ hard in the place
I answer to no one
Nobody’s gotta answer for me
The life of a loner
Is all that it’s cracked up to be
Don’t ya call me a stoner
The world started throwing stones at me
Cuz your words don’t mean anything to me
The end of the line is as far as my eyes can see
I’ll remember the look on your face
When I’m caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
Some people are gifted
Some people got the gift of the gab
My fortunes have lifted
Now it’s time to settle the tab
Cuz your words don’t mean anything to me
The end of the line is as far as my eyes can see
Your words don’t mean anything to me
I’ll do what I do cuz I do what I do for Free
I’ll remember the look on your face
When I’m caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place
caught rockin’ hard in the place

Down on the farm, you make your own fun
Horsin’ around and shooting guns
Me and brother Daniel Weren’t hurtin’ no one
When Daniel turned to me and said “Now...beer me son”
I’m hearty for the party, Daniel, twist my arm
Beer’s a no-brainer, it works like a charm
Me and brother Daniel, We drank Twenty four
We were powerful thirsty so we lit out the door…
(and now we’re )
Drinkin beer and drivin around
But we can’t take the truck
Can’t take the car because we’re…
Drinkin beer and drivin around
And at 15 miles an hour we won’t get very far
We cranked up the Kubota to go get some more
now we’re shitfaced and shirtless at the party store
the Beer was in the cooler but the missus was colder
That’s when Daniel told her “get a load O’ that Kubota”
We ain’t drunk we’re just drinking so forget what your thinking
If we git too high, We’ll drive on the shoulder
(while we’re)
Drinkin beer and drivin around
We can’t take the car,
can’t take the truck
cuz we’re…
Drinkin beer and drivin around
No shirts, no boots and we don’t give a hoot
Because we’re…
Drinkin Beer And Drivin Around
2 little rednecks and we’re shit outta luck
We got to…
Ditch the reefer, toss all the cans
Step on it Daniel, cuz here comes the man!
solo
Now sometimes you win, Sometimes you’re a loser
2 pickled peppers in the back of the cruiser
They took away the tractor and Threw us in the can
Say Daniel, dude!
How we gonna tell our old man
That we were…
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Now we’re eating beef jerky in the back of the squad car cuz we’re …
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Say Daniel, think might have a little too far this time with all this here...
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Sometimes we...
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Because we.....
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Just me and Daniel you know
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Drinkin Drinkin
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Grey area
Drinkin beer and drivin around
Wait til Mama gets a hold of us
Drinkin beer and drivin around
We ain’t even got plates on the Kubota
Drinkin beer and drivin around

Can you feel it?
Magik in the air
something kinda special
making people stare
if you need it
you’re gonna find it here
if you’re looking for a mother
check your rearview mirror
and if Venice beach freaks
have got something to teach us
you gotta be who you be
don't let anybody stop ya
you gotta be who you be
serve it up hot
rise and shining
awake and aware
ready to roll
rockin’ ready to wear
when you own it
and you’ve got a good plan
you can take your own words
and spray em’ out of a can
you wanna live off what you preach ?
you need to take it to the streets yeah!
you gotta be who you be
don't let anybody stop ya
you gotta be who you be
you gotta be who you be
don't let anybody stop ya
you gotta be who you be
stop ya stop ya…
you gotta be who you be
you gotta be who you be
you gotta be who you be
don't let anybody stop ya
you gotta be who you be
you gotta be who you be
make em’ believe what they see
don't let anybody stop ya
serve it up hot!

Leave It All Up To You
04:04
|
|||
Someone said there would be times like this
Living hand to hand and hand to fist
Shots you take and shots you miss
I can try again if you insist
Seems Misfortune loves an Optimist
A chance for one more dance, one more kiss
Been there, done that, take it off my list.
But You say my name and I just can’t resist
Good times didn’t make me a good man
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
God knows, I didn’t have a game plan
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
I feel my bad old days will start to fade
I Guess I’ve lost my taste for lemonade
There’ll be no sleepin’ once the bed’s been made
The party’s over and the band’s been paid
Good times didn’t make me a good man
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
God knows, I didn’t have a game plan
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
Solo
Good times didn’t make me a good man
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
God knows, I didn’t have a game plan
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
You know I’m gonna need a helpin’ hand
I’ll leave it all up to you
I’ll leave it all up to you
God knows…
God Knows…

Sacrifice Fly
04:14
|
|||
it’s hard to think about springtime when your head’s in October
you gave me a mountain to climb, it’s a bitch to get over
I got high on your sweet sweet wine, but the taste has gone bitter
I’ll get sober in the by and by, but don’t ya call me a quitter
you threw the game on a sacrifice fly,
when my bases were loaded
all the same, you walked without shame
when my world exploded
I took a shot, I got what I got
but I went down swingin’
ready or not, I thought that you left me
but you left me with a new beginning
there’s a cloud hanging over, and we can’t get past it
you made your confession, it was good while it lasted
time to switch, I made my best pitch, but you were not buying
cuz you got heartaches, down to a science, and there ain't no denying
ch
you threw the game on a sacrifice fly,
when my bases were loaded
all the same, you walked without shame
when my world exploded
I took a shot, I got what I got
but I went down swingin’
ready or not, I thought that you left me
but you left me with a new beginning
oh, that's right!
solo
I ain't worried ‘bout breathing.
I’m just stayin alive
I left the gloom, cooped up in my room,
Now, look me in the eye!
you threw the game on a sacrifice fly
when my bases were loaded
all the same, you walked without shame
when my world exploded
I took my best shot, I got what I got
at least I went down swingin’
ready or not, I thought you left me but you ….
you threw “us” under the bus, and left the wheels spinin’
what a shame, you talk a good game
when you feel like winning
you take the crown, you’re the queen of “let down”
but I came up grinning
ready or not, I thought that you left me
but you left me with a new beginning
you left me with a new beginning
you left me with a new beginning
but you left me… bye-bye…
