Sparks 04:38
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!

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

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

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

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

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…

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…
