She'll face the day with a smile Think I'll cry a while Guess I'll keep headin' out to a different place Yeah that's where I'll go and I Don't wanna say goodbye Don't wanna wonder why Think I'll wanna die When I say goodbye She'll say things she don't mean Maybe she'll cry for me To hold her close and keep her there Is where I wanna be and I Tell a joke to get me by Hear the laughter when I cry Kinda makes me smile to see her smile Don't say goodbye and I

Deep End 01:40
There was a day when I thought that You would be with me 'til the end But I found out I was wrong and You were gone and I can't depend On you, not on you I was wrong, I can't depend on you Depend? It depends Whether or not I can depend on you Deep end? I'm on the deep end Gonna fall right off this deep end There was a day when I thought that You would be with me 'til the end But I found out I was wrong and You were gone right off that deep end
3.
Colour 02:49
Here I am, a lonely man on my own I ain't knowin' where I'm goin', but I'll get there for sure All I gots is a couple o' rocks in my socks And I ain't got no one I could care for Made a blue sky and bright green trees for you Made a universe of wonder you could look to And see the freedom that you could know If you would only trust in me I'm headed west for the rest of my life's success Got a stick and my picks tied up in wraps Got a red bandana and Ted's banana yellow guitar And if they don't like what I do I'm on my way back It don't need to be like that You don't need to lay your dreams where I ain't at You would see the freedom that you could know If you would only trust me in me
4.
New 03:27
Some people don't know that I'm me Some people still think I was me But you took my old me Gave me an all brand new me And my new me is not my old me My old me is not my new me Some people don't know what I need Some people don't know what I mean But you always know me Even when I don't know me Some people don't know that I'm free Some people know know I'm happy You're the one who freed me And my happiness you gave me
5.
Yugo 03:36
What ever happened to you? And tell me where it is ya got to And while you're there tell me what ya do What do you do? Yeah Hey, what ever happened to you? Where did you go? Hey, I don't know yeah, I wanna know Where did you go? I don't see you anymore You been keepin' to yourself, hey, what for? And while you're there tell me what ya do with a closed door Cuz I don't see you anymore hey, you ain't been around I called your name, I called it loud Why do you keep it underground, do ya feel alone in a crowd? Well, hey, you ain't been around
6.
Alice & Bill 03:08
Little Alice walking fast Catch the bus There's little Billy running past her She heard him cuss Little Billy lives across the tracks He had a long way to go Mom ain't home, she's on her back Pop's in Mexico Little Billy knows Alice Her life's a dream Daddy smiles, her mom blows a kiss Her clothes are always clean Little Billy's really very sad Too young to be so hard Little Billies make us feel bad Let's go play cards
7.
I'd Rather 03:18
And I think I'm gonna go bald And it makes me sad to think about it But I'd rather have a shiny head Than to need your love and be without it And when I look in any mirror I see a hairline that is gonna recede But I'd rather have to wear a hat Than to always want and not receive I'd rather be with you Than be where I'd be without you And I think I see a few more lines When I smile or raise my left eyebrow But I'd rather be in some home Than to wanna cry and not know how And won't you come a little closer? Cuz I can't quite tell who you are But I'd rather wear coke bottle glasses Than to be cool and fall apart And can't you speak a little louder? Cuz I can't make out what you said But I'd rather hear nothin' at all Than be hangin' millstones 'round my neck
8.
Sad Things 03:22
My friend said, "why has she gone from me?" Yeah, my friend said, "why has she gone and left me?" I see my friend's head spinnin' in all directions Yeah, my friend's head is drowning in reflection Sad things happen to a heart that's open Maybe mine should be closed I'll put a sign on my front window But I don't know, no, I don't know, baby My friend thinks, "what if this and what if that?" Yeah my friend thinks, "what if she would just come back?" My friend shrinks at the thought of life without her But my friend's on the brink and I think he doubts her Hey, I will say, "life is good, life can be good" Yeah, I will say, "life is good, life can be good" I will say, "life is good, life can be good" Yeah, I will say, "life is good, life can be good" Good things happen to a heart that's open So don't keep yours closed Go put a sign on your front window Says ya' don't close, no you're never closed, baby

Shag 01:42
Talkin'
10.
Well, if they said I'll break my head Or soon be dead or you'll soon be bled Dry than they'd be led to believe a lie And I don't know why they even started that lie And if they said my tears were shed To get you in bed and show you my bedspread Well, you'd be led to believe a lie And I wouldn't know why they'd even start that lie Cuz I don't think I need your love that way And I don't think if you'd leave I'd be okay Hey, don't ya think you need a love that'll stay? No, I don't think if you leave it'll be okay Well, if they said he's not well read And he won't keep you fed with well read bread I'd hope you were not led to believe that lie And I don't know why they even started that lie And if they said get a new love instead Get a love like Fred and there won't be a shred Of doubt, don't be led to believe that I Would believe that lie and they don't know why Yeah Hey, I know I need your love today And I don't think if you'd leave I'd be okay Hey, don't you know you need a love that'll stay No, I don't think if you leave I'll be okay
11.
I want the freedom to do what they want me to do And I want the freedom to be who they want me to I want the freedom to go where they'd like to go And I'd like the freedom to know what they want me to know Cuz I ain't got a mind of my own And why don't you mind your own business? I like not havin' a mind of my own And I like not havin' to mind my own business, yeah I want the freedom to say what they want me to say And I want the freedom to stay when they say stay I want the freedom to look the way they do And I'd like the freedom to act just like them, too Nothin' in the world is worth losin' your identity Nothin' in the world is worth the shame Nothin' in the world is worth losin' an eternity There's nothin' in the world and no one to blame Oh your shame
12.
Hey Murf Flip it over Flip flip flip flip it over Or you can flip it over
13.
Mr. Kinison, oh did ya' find What you were lookin' for and did you find the time? Mr. Kinison, what are you gonna do? Now your life is over and where are you goin' to? Y'said ya didn't believe anymore Why'd ya leave, were ya sure? Well, ya lost your faith, gained a war What were you fightin' for? Yeah, yeah Mr. Kinison, grew your hair down your back I heard you screamin', "God ain't where it's at" Well, you did your preachin' back in '76 And then you got them laughin', but ya made it sick Mr. Kinison, tell me how are you? Did ya call him "Lord", did ya call Him "True"? Mr. Kinison, was it just for the show? And did ya come back in, guess I'll never know
