"Home Alone"

"Home Alone"


I see her out almost every night
She’s with her friends, and I’m with mine
Oh man she looks so nice
(Break the ice)

Jet back hair and big blue eyes
Gonna hate myself if I
If I don’t make my move
(Get your grove)

(Ooh ooh) I brush my breath and spike up my hair
(Ooh ooh ooh) Finally gonna make her mine tonight

(Shot down) Oh my god I just
(Fell down) She has got my
(Heart drowned) And I can’t believe it
(Right there) For everyone to see it
(Shot down) Oh my god I just
(Fell down) She has got my
(Heart drowned) And I can’t believe it
(Right there) For everyone to see it

So dashing, debonair
My mum was right; I should have changed my underwear
Another chance I’ve blown, walking home alone

I said ‘hey’, she said ‘hello’
‘You wanna dance?’ she said ‘hell no’
But I still stood strong (For way too long)

I had her laughing there all night
She said ‘you’re such a funny guy’
(But the biggest laugh he got was when he asked her for her number)
[Speaking] That’s actually true…

(Ooh ooh) I brush my breath and spike up my hair
(Ooh ooh ooh) Finally gonna make her mine tonight

(Shot down) Oh my god I just
(Fell down) She has got my
(Heart drowned) And I can’t believe it
(Right there) For everyone to see it
(Shot down) Oh my god I just
(Fell down) She has got my
(Heart drowned) And I can’t believe it
(Right there) For everyone to see it

So dashing, debonair
My mum was right; I should have changed my underwear
Another chance I’ve blown, walking home alone

(Come on then, I’ll drive you home)

I’ve had enough now (Don’t let it get you down)
No I’m not angry; I just wish that she could see me for myself
(Then can we ask her out?)
Do what you want, I’m not, it’s done, that’s through, I’m giving up
I think I might just get a cat

(Ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh)
(Shot down) Oh my god I just
(Fell down) She has got my
(Heart drowned) And I can’t believe it
(Right there) For everyone to see it
(Shot down) Oh my god I just
(Fell down) She has got my
(Heart drowned) And I can’t believe it
(Right there) For everyone to see it

So dashing, debonair
My mum was right; I should have changed my underwear
Another chance I’ve blown, walking home alone

"Hooray For Beer"

"Hooray For Beer"


I was lost and down
Before you turned my life around
I never knew a love like this could happen
And they said I was too young
But when I turned 21
You gave me hope that's everlasting

Now everything is going my way
The sun's shining all around me
Bells are ringing and the birds are singing now
I wanna tell the whole world

Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray For Beer!

And sometimes when I wake
You seem like a mistake
My stomach's turning circles, my head is pounding
But at 5 o'clock
You say it's time to rock
And I can't resist, I gotta be around you

Now everything is hunky dory
The stars are shining all around me
There's a happy ending to my story now
I wanna tell the whole world

Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray For Beer!

I could hold you in my hands forever
Or at least until you're gone
And then I'll order another one

Now everything is going my way
The sun's shining all around me
Bells are ringing and the birds are singing now
I wanna tell the whole world

Hooray For Beer!
I'm really glad you're here
Let's make this moment last
You feel so right
Wanna be with you all night
Shout it out
Hooray!
Hip hip hooray!
Hooray For Beer!

"How Far This Can Go"

"How Far This Can Go"


It’s cold outside
Light a fire
Throw our past mistakes into the flame
We can watch them burn
Lay down your head
Close your eyes
Tomorrow’s gonna be a brand new day
And the tide is gonna turn

So hold on and be strong
Nothing’s ever gonna bring us down
It’s not too late to turn this thing around

Let’s take it fast or slow
Hold our breaths and jump into whatever this is
Grab a coat and let it all rain down
If we never stop believing, it’s gonna be alright
But if we don’t try, we may never know
How far this can go

Start the car, hit the gas
Drive forever and never looking back
Leave the world behind
Fly so high, touch the sun
Hurry up, you know life goes so fast
We’re running out of time

So hold on and be strong
Nothing’s ever gonna bring us down
It’s not too late to turn this thing around

Let’s take it fast or slow
Hold our breaths and jump into whatever this is
Grab a coat and let it all rain down
If we never stop believing, it’s gonna be alright
But if we don’t try, we may never know
How far this can go

By the time the curtain's falling
They'll be standing up and screaming out our names
Can’t you hear the future calling
We'll go all the way and never be the same, yeah

So hold on and be strong
Nothing’s ever gonna bring us down
It’s not too late to turn this thing around

Take it fast or slow
Hold our breaths and jump into whatever this is
Grab a coat and let it all rain down
If we never stop believing, it’s gonna be alright
But if we don’t try, we may never know
How far this can go
How far this can go
How far this can go

"I Am Waking Up Today"

"I Am Waking Up Today"


My life is skipping like a broken record
I keep repeating all the same mistakes
I used to get caught up in all the wreckage

But I am waking up today

The day you left I thought the world was ending
I lost myself in all the misery
And now I'm picking up the scattered pieces

And I am waking up today
I am waking up today

I'm not the guy you know
This is me 2.0
I got off track but I'm never going back

I am waking up today
I am waking up today
Something's happening inside of me
'Cause I am waking up today
I am waking up today

I take a look at all the people around me
It's hard to tell a friend from enemy
Everyone tries to tell me who I should be

But I am waking up today

What do you see when you look in the mirror?
Are you living how you wanna be?
I'm gonna face the day with eyes wide open.

I am waking up today
I am waking up today

We were the walking dead
Get your ass outta bed
We got off track but we're never going back

I am waking up today
I am waking up today
Something's happening inside of me
'Cause I am waking up today
I am waking up today

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey

I am waking up today
I am waking up today
Something's happening inside of me
'Cause I am waking up today
I am waking up today
I am waking up today
Something's happening inside of me
'Cause I am waking up today
I am waking up today

"I Can't Stand L.A."

"I Can't Stand L.A."


Well I love New York like everyone
And I go to Las Vegas to Chill
I like Denver Colorado cause it's so laid back
And Chicago keeps it real
I only leave Dallas when I have to, but
When I do I like Tulsa, OK
And I ain't got nothing against California
But I can't stand LA

Well Orlando Florida is humid but it's swell
Austin and Nashville both freakin' rock (yes they do! )
And New Orleans is evil but it's part of the appeal
You can gamble drink and swear until you drop
The state of Ohio's been great to our band
Along with Phili and Green Bay
I got nothing but love for Hollywood
But I can't stand LA

I like Salt Lake City, Portland, Frisco, Santa Fe
Indianappolis and Hartford, too
Boise, Memphis, Souix Falls, and of course KC
Along with Pittsburg and Kalamazoo
Atlanta is our home away from home and here's a shout out to Sauget
And I wish my friends would leave that place
'Cause I can't stand LA

Traffic Sucks
No protected lefts
Snooty fucks
Pollution fills the air
Gang Fights
$7 beers
And the threat of breaking off into the sea

(And now to give LA the benefit of the doubt)
Jimmy Kimmel In and Out and great sushi
And diversity everywhere
Really hot chicks wearing next to nothing
And the Santa Monica Pier
Thank you for hair metal and the 84 olympics and for the BFS radio play
But please don't take this personally
No I'm happy to visit, but I'm happier to leave
And I guess what it is I'm trying to say is
I can't stand LA!

"I Don't Know"

"I Don't Know"


I'm on my way to west hall
And i don't know
What you're thinkin when i show up
You invite me in
I sit and stare at the walls
Full of pictures
Of the people and the places, you hold dear

Sitting on the porch swing later
Our fingers will be cold
I could have used some chapstick
But i found something better to use

You make me lose track of time
for just an hour
That we gained the night before
Daylight savings time

Sitting on the porch swing later
Our fingers will be cold
I could have used some chapstick
But i found something better to use

It all went by so fast
I forgot
Take a picture from a shoebox
Before i go away

"I Don't Wanna Rock"

"I Don't Wanna Rock"


It really sucks to give your heart to a girl
You want to know her like she knows the whole world
But 10 seconds in, it's obvious, your going nowhere...

She makes you tell her that she's your best friend
You tell her things you know won't make her mad
Don't want to be the one to say things are going nowhere...

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone, and,
I don't wanna tell you I love you
don't wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!

It's hard to live outside her safety zone
Cause you remember being all alone
Two kinds of misery and either way, you're going nowhere...

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone, and,
I don't wanna tell you I love you
don't wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!

And she makes me want to be a homosexual
Maybe I'll be her best friend, maybe see her naked once in a while

I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna talk
I don't wanna rock
I don't wanna wait by the phone, and,
I don't wanna tell you I love you
don't wanna tell you I love you, anymore!!!

"I Don't Wish You Were Dead Anymore"

"I Don't Wish You Were Dead Anymore"


You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well, in everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore

I hope you're doing fine
I hope you've found the time
To chase that dream
I wanna see you shine
You were always on my mind
And my heart's on my sleeve
You know what I mean

You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well
In everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore

Remember hangin' out
There was never any doubt
You were on my side
Know you slived in the past
Should've known it wouldn't last
Nothing good ever does
But that's alright

You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well
In everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore

I think about the times we had
And when you left me I was lost
Girl, I miss you so bad
I was out of my mind for sure
No matter what I said I don't wish you were dead anymore

I hope you're not alone
I hope you've found a home
That you can live in
Me, I'm doing good
In the old neighborhood
So please don't come back
Never comeback

You know I only want what's best for you
And I hope you do well
In everything that you do
And it's a funny thing but now that you're gone
I don't wish you were dead anymore
I don't wish you were dead anymore
I don't wish that you were dead anymore

good, good job, good good, good job huh [2x]

"I Gotchoo"

"I Gotchoo"


Waves hit rocks and folks get wet
I was gonna say something but now I forget
Chocolate covered cherries with the milk on the side
I'll meet you at the party if I find a ride

Helicopters fly and birds like to nest
Elvis or the Beatles who cares who's the best? (Beatles)
Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina
Peanut butter sandwich with some Aunt Jemima

And If you were me
You'd probably see
What I'm talking about

Talk is cheap but I can't afford it
And counting sheep don't work anymore
My head is turning circles but I got you, I got you

The coast is clear the view is distorted
Lots to do and I'm always bored
Nothing in my wallet but I got you, I got you

Credit or debit with your super market basket
Bring your own tote no paper no plastic
In the sun or the rain always bring an umbrella
Get a lollipop from the pretty bank teller
Go cart track with a '57 Chevy
I carry my weight but I'm getting kinda heavy
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he? (was he?)

And If you were me
You'd probably see
What I'm talking about

Talk is cheap but I can't afford it
And counting sheep don't work anymore
My head is turning circles but I got you, I got you

The coast is clear, the view is distorted
Lots to do and I'm always bored
Nothing in my wallet but I got you, I got you

Sometimes you've gotta run and put your foot on the pedal
Other times you've gotta stay and bring the metal
Doesn't matter to me, 'cause I've got you, IGOTCHOO!

Talk is cheap but I can't afford it
And counting sheep don't work anymore
My head is turning circles but I got you, I got you

The coast is clear the view is distorted
Lots to do and I'm always bored
Nothing in my wallet but I got you, I got you

"I Just Wanna Be Loved"

"I Just Wanna Be Loved"


I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be extraordinary
I'm just your everyday average white guy
On the radio

Whoa-oh-oh

I just wanna be loved
Like the English people love their spliffs and curry
Like a kid loves money from the tooth fairy
Like Tubaka loves Han Solo

Why can't you see
That I'm only
Everything you want?
How come you give
Just enough to
Keep me hangin' on?

I don't care what you say,
You're gonna love me someday!
I don't mean to talk so tough,
I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,
I just wanna be loved,
Loved, loved, loved, loved,

I don't know how to surf,
But I'm really really good at karaoke
Maybe I'm not just an average white guy
Except down there,
In case you care that life's not fair

Why can't you see
That I'm only
Everything you want?
How come you give
Just enough to
Keep me hangin' on?

I don't care what you say,
You're gonna love me someday!
I don't mean to talk so tough,
I just wanna be loved,

Loved, loved, loved, loved,
I just wanna be loved,
Loved, loved, loved, loved,

Cause you like shiny things,
Like diamond rings,
Sushi and Hybrid cars
Poker chips and Queso dips
And getting thrown out of bars

I don't care what you say,
You're gonna love me someday!
I don't mean to talk so tough,
I wanna be loved,

You like chocolate ice cream
But you hate your mother!
Can't you see that
You and me were
Made for one another?
I'm your biggest fan
You understand there'll
Never be no other
You're the best girl, that's for sure

I don't care what you say,
I just wanna be loved,
And I don't mean to talk so tough
I just wanna be loved,
I don't care what you say,
I just wanna be loved
And I don't mean to talk so tough
I just wanna be loved,

L- (ugh damn it)
