"Pressing On"

"Pressing On"


I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

[Chorus:]
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.

"Prodigal"

"Prodigal"


Sweet Jesus, I was coming to pray
But all the hip kids sent You running away
You got egg on your face
But the faithful keep washing your feet

Wish it was simple but it's trouble to say
Cause nobody believes that there's a debt to be paid
For the things that come easy day after day
Week after week

I am the champion of wine
You're the bread on my tongue
I am the last one in line
The prodigal

I am the champion of wine
You're the bread on my tongue
I am the last one in line
The prodigal son

Sweet Jesus, I was coming to pray
But Lord, I've been so busy and you kept me away
I got egg on my face
So I hide away where no one can see

Wish it was simple but it's trouble to say
Cause nobody believes that there's a debt to be paid
For the things that come easy day after day
Week after week

I am the champion of wine
You're the bread on my tongue
I am the last one in line
The prodigal son

I am the champion of wine
You're the bread on my tongue
I am the last one in line
The prodigal

Sweet Jesus, I was coming to pray
But all the hip kids sent You running away
You got egg on your face
But the faithful keep washing your feet

Wish it was simple but it's trouble to say
Cause nobody believes that there's a debt to be paid
For the things that come easy day after day
Week after week

"PTL"

"PTL"


There was a time when I was scared of nothing
Nothing can touch you if you don't look back
I walked away from every good thing that I had

By the time I met you it was 12 past midnight
Told you I'd be the best you never had
You said, "Are you serious?"
I said, "Like a heart attack."

But it was far too late before I figured it out.
I never meant to be your, I never meant to be your
One night, one mistake.

I never meant to be your part-time lover
Then again I've never been a full-time man
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Guess I'm the fool that you, you think I am

I never called you like I know I should have
Thought I could save you for a rainy day
I bet the sun was shining when I let you slip away

But it was far too late before I figured it out
I bet the sun was shining, I never meant to be your
One night, one mistake

I never meant to be your part-time lover
Then again I've never been a full-time man
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Guess I'm the fool that you, you think I am

I never meant to be your part-time lover (part-time lover)
Then again I've never been a full-time man
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Guess I'm the fool that you (Guess I'm the fool that you)

I never meant to be your part-time lover
Then again I've never been a full-time man
Never thought it'd hurt so bad to see you with another
Guess I'm the fool that you, you think I am

I never meant to be your fool
I never meant to be your fool
I walked away from every good thing that I had.

"Register"

"Register"


Find it funny when the punch-line was You. And You don't like my punk boy attitude. You didn't smile when I checked out that girl, or when my sin kept me in the world. And then I claim all I wanna do is praise Your name. I hate my sin, destroy it and mold in me from within. And then I claim all I wanna do is praise Your name. I hate my sin, destroy it and mold in me from within. And now I'm trying to keep the bad stuff away, but if I forget to keep Your word and pray. I love You Jesus, I need Your love in my life. I love You Jesus, I want to be like You Christ. And now I'm trying to keep the bad stuff away, but if I forget to keep Your word and pray. I love You Jesus, I need Your love in my life. I love You Jesus, I want to be like You Christ.

"Runnin'"

"Runnin'"


Time to tie myself down to the train track
Gonna relax and try to explain that I rarely feel alive
Unless I'm running for my life
Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
But I got suspicion in my head
That I've got the cure but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure

So when I hear that whistle blow
That's when I know it's time to go

All I can do is run
All I can do is run
All I can do is run
Someone tell me where to
Someone tell me what from
All I can do is run

Time to tie myself down to the train track
Gonna relax and try to explain that I rarely feel alive
Unless I'm running for my life
Cause I'm over monsters under the bed
But I got suspicion in my head
That I've got the cure but I'm not so sure that I've got the cure


I can remember the days in my life
When my future looked bright back before mom had died
Before I heard dad coughing up blood in his room
And the doctor said "Son, he'll be joining her soon"

Everything changed, what was bright turned to bleak
Cause everyone seemed to get sick, 'cept for me
And my dad's final cough, where they carted me off
They stuck me in hell and they gave me a cross

And said "Son, the church is all you've got now, got now
Son, so give your life to God now, God
My son, I know you're scared, I know you're young
Just say your prayers tonight
Cause nobody's gonna come
Cause no one loves an orphan"


I got an old wooden village house
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
I got anything anybody could ever want, yeah it's true

Maybe the cold made me move down south
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock
I got anything anybody could ever want
So I'm spending my time all on you

I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running [x6], running on home to you
And I keep on running [x6]

I got an old wooden village house
And almost every day I'm running 'round the block
I got anything anybody could ever want, yeah it's true

Maybe the cold made me move down south
And I forgot to wind the grandfather clock

So I'm spending my time all on you

I'm putting myself in your shoes
I'm putting my help to good use
I'm putting myself in your shoes, yeah
And I keep on running [x6], running on home to you
And I keep on running [x6]

"Sadie Hawkins Dance"

"Sadie Hawkins Dance"


All the girls in the bathroom talking
who they gonna take to the Sadie Hawkins
My ears are burning but I kept on walking
smile on my face and an air guitar rocking

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater?

Sitting in the back of my next class napping
Got up, gave a speech, then bowed to the clapping
Told a funny joke got the whole class laughing
think I got a tan from the light which I was basking

[x2:]
The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater?

Scan the cafeteria for some good seating
I found a good spot by the cheerleaders eating
The quarterback asked me if I'd like a beating
I said that's one thing I won't be needing
And since I'm rather smart and cunning
I took off down the next hall running
Only to get stopped by a girl so stunning
only to get stopped by a girl so stunning

She said, "You're smooth, and good with talking.
You're going with me to the Sadie Hawkins"

The Sadie Hawkins Dance
in my khaki pants
There's nothing better
oh oh oh
The girls ask the guys
it's always a surprise
There's nothing better
baby do you like my sweater?

The Sadie Hawkins Dance

"Sahara"

"Sahara"


Lying on my side knowing of thirst is how I'll die
Chalk on my tongue
Lying on the night beneath the dunes is where I lie to block the sun
Trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside to overcome
This feeling of desertion can't be worse than never having anyone
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back
A lion on his side was it the lying or his pride which brought him down?
Once the king of beasts but now they feast on the thoughts beneath his vacant crown
Trying to decide was it the lying or the pride which brought it down?
To be alone to be dethroned belive me I know all about it now
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Dont ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back
I never told you then that I'd be easy to love
Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub
I wandered into the plains further and farther away
Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same
As my organs gave way I swear I felt something burst
It's been thirteen days and I'm dying of thirst
For the birds of prey I pray that someone else will get here first
I am not alone; I'll be alright
Just take these bones and bring them back to life
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose (So I'll ask)
Don't ever turn me loose (One thing)
Don't ever turn me loose (Just one thing)
Even when I turn my back

"Santa Claus Is Thumbing To Town"

"Santa Claus Is Thumbing To Town"


'Twas the night before Christmas
And up at the North Pole
Everybody's going crazy
Everything's out of control

The toy shop is on fire
The toys melting on the shelves
And you can hear Mrs. Clause screaming
"I warned you never trust those elves!"

Unless something drastic happens fast
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly

And the sleigh is in the shop
'Cause it's broken down
But Christmas won't stop

'Cause Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh

Very much to his disliking
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking
With a sign that reads, 'Ho, ho slow down'
Santa Clause is thumbing to town

So Kris Kringle started walkin'
Through the snow without his sleigh
Shed a tear for every stocking
That would be empty Christmas day

Unless something drastic happens fast
Say hello to the ghost of Christmas past
Because, Rudolph's puking boughs of holly
Old Saint Nick ain't all that jolly

And the sleigh is in the shop
'Cause it's broken down
But Christmas won't stop

'Cause Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Uh, oh

Very much to his disliking
Santa spent all night hitch-hiking
With a sign that reads, 'Ho, ho slow down'
Santa Clause is thumbing to town
Santa Clause is thumbing to town

"Savannah"

"Savannah"


Savannah
I hope to be there by the morning
And see this pining all transforming
Into the arms of the Georgia sun
Savannah
I'd love to feel the heat the sunrise
Brushing rays across my windshield as if one dries
The streams from off my face

Yet I know you'll be there cause you'll know I'll want you to be there
And we'll say hello as you're smiling in love
And we'll sigh so relieved I believe
because we will both know by tonight we'll feel normal again
But until then
Until then
Until then

Savannah
Our backs supported by a hammock
We sum up perfection like a handbook
And God knows it all too well
Savannah
We'll take a walk to find a gift shop
Who would've thought the book that you bought
Would never come off the shelf

Baby
I spent my life wondering
Wondering when I'd find you
I searched for all these years and now you're right here
I need you to know that
Everything makes sense when you're with me

Savannah
Walk out into the sultry evening
Cotton breathing when the sea winds
Brush the hair down around your neck
Savannah
You hold my hand like it's the first time
And all the feelings that our hearts find
Will be just what we expect

"Silent Night / Away In A Manger"

"Silent Night / Away In A Manger"


Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night
Shepheards quake at the sight
Glory streams from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts they sing Halleujah

Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky they looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
