Colour 01:41
Here I am, a lonely man on my own Everyone I've ever known left me long ago Now I know what I'm gonna do that's for sure Cuz 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 no one holdin' me down, I like it that way 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
10.
I don't mind if you say you got me Wrapped around your finger And I don't mind if you say you got me Wrapped around your toes Cuz when you got me all tied up Around your little finger I don't mind and you're my kind And you'll find that it shows Hey, so it goes When I'm around your toes No one knows And I guess it shows That I don't mind, no I won't mind if you need time To figure out your head And I won't mind if come to find out Ya don't need time instead What ya need is someone to give you some of A love like you'll never get With someone else, ya don't need no one else And ya can't leave love for dead Hey, you'll dread All the days ahead No one said How long a day can get Or the tears you'll shed
11.
If They Said 02:10
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 ya leave that'll be okay Well, if they said he's not well read And he won't keep ya 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 Ugh! Hey, I know I need your love today And I don't think if ya leave I'd be okay Hey, don't ya know you need a love that'll stay No, I don't think if ya leave I'll be okay
12.
I come off a happy guy But I think too much Everyone sees me smile Would you be surprised To see me lose touch? Everyone see me cry I get miserable sometimes But I don't wanna be alone We're all miserable sometimes But we won't be alone Sad things happen to my friend Sad things never end Sad things seem to catch my eye If I could comprehend I would call you again And you can wonder why When I was only ten Had the fears of ten men And I don't think you cared When I turned eleven Heard angels cryin' And you just stood there When I get miserable sometimes I don't wanna be alone We're all miserable sometimes But we won't be alone
13.
Jet Plane 03:09
I had to play a gig in Frisco I received my ticket in the mail The rest of the band was already there waitin' I didn't have a guitar case or a bill of sale Somebody please explain Where we're goin' in this big jet plane Somebody try and see Who took my guitar away from me I stepped inside and the stewardess smiled When I sat down she said my seat was wrong I looked up to see if she'd redirect me But the airline girl and my guitar were gone Somebody please explain Where we're flyin' in this this big jet plane Somebody try and see Who took my guitar away from me
14.
I've seen you standin' there for a while And I can see you like to show your style But your style doesn't make me smile, friend She's sellin' seashells down the shore She's probably there cuz can't take your Style it doesn't make her smile, friend You bore the world to its ore core Like nothin' ever seen or heard before it's your Style it doesn't make no one smile, friend
15.
We're gonna rock and have a good time Tonight's the night, the night we move Together we will stand to rock the land We're gonna rock the land Jesus is the King of kings Jesus makes me wanna sing We're gonna rock for something new We're gonna rock for something true Tonight's the night we're gonna do something right Let's lift our hands tonight He makes me wanna jump around He keeps my feet up off the ground Tonight's the night it's best to rock the land We're gonna rock the land He is the reason for the season He is the reason for today
16.
Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with you Where is Santa and his sleigh? And tell me why is it always this way? Where is Rudolph? Where is Blitzen, baby? Merry Christmas, merry, merry, merry Christmas All the children are tucked in their beds Sugarplum fairies dancin' in their heads It's awful frightenin', it's so excitin' baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah) I love you and you love me And that's the way it's got to be I knew it from the start Cuz Christmas is the time for breakin' each other's hearts Merry Christmas, I don't want to fight tonight with Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with Merry Christmas, I don't wanna fight tonight with you
