"I Will Go On"

"I Will Go On"


I got a cold grey morning
Waiting for me
I look out my window
Sure don't like what I see
Seems like to devil himself
Is singing my song
But I pick myself yo
And I will go on

Black dogs are howling
In the wind and the rain
Seems like the devil himself
Is calling my name

But I can never give up
No matter how long
So I pick myself up
And I will go on

There's thunder on the mountain
There's a wild storm a sea
But when I think of your sweet love
It means nothing to me

So I will never give up
No matter how long
I pick myself up

And I will go on

"I'll Be There For You"

"I'll Be There For You"


When the night comes round
Knocking on your door
When the darkness leaves you lonely
You can't take any more
There is someone who is waiting
Al you got to do is call
There is someone who will catch you if you fall
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be waiting
When you need somebody
When you feel oh so blue
I'll be there
Oh I'll be there for you
Yes I will

There's a light that shines across
Your dark and stormy sea
It will be there till your morning
Darling let that light be me
Please don't worry
There is nothing too hard for me to do
I got somebody really special
And that special one is you

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be waiting
When you need somebody
When you feel oh so blue
Well, I'll be there
Oh I'll be there for you

I will be there for you
Yes I will
When you need somebody

"I'm In My Car"

"I'm In My Car"


I'm in my car
I got my telephones and radio
This is my home
I have learnt to love and live
The only way I know
And I don't want to change a thing
This is my world you are sitting in
I got a fax so I press send
Send a message to my DJ
A message to my DJ
'Cos he's my best friend
I'm in my car

And I am happy here
Even though the fools will never know
I got peace in here
My private world and endless
Stop and go

And I don't want to change a thing
This is my world you are sitting in
I got a fax so I press send
Send a message to my DJ
A message to my DJ
'Cos he's my best friend

I'm in my car

Safe from my boss
Safe from all the gumbos
That I hate so much
Its not G.T.
Its not all about you think
That you may see
Oh it's not about what you think
You see
I'm safe from my family. ..
I'm safe
I'm safe

I'm in my car

I'm happy here

I'm in my car

"I'm Moving Up"

"I'm Moving Up"


Well it may not look like much
But it's all I got
It may be nothing to you
But I'm coming through
Oh, yeah, I'm coming
Yeah I'm coming
I'm moving up
I'm moving up
To Chicago

Yeah, I heard all the stories
Of those big wide streets
They say it's real good money
Oh it's easy meat
I've had enough down here
Well, see I got to go
I'm moving
Yeah I'm moving up
Ready or not
To Chicago

You'll see me walking tall
See my shiny shoes
I'm going to take it all up
Kick away those country blues
Well, I'll play anything
I'll play bazooka-zoo
I'll play electric guitar
I'll do anything you want me to

Yeah, I'm moving up
Well, I'm moving up
To Chicago
Oh yeah, I'm moving up
To Chicago

"I'm Ready"

"I'm Ready"


I got my red shoes on
Got my red gloves too
Made my decision
Gonna see this one through
Too late, I can't stop now
Open the door, I'll get through somehow

Deep in my darkest night
I always had a star that shone so bright
Star of hope, shine on me
I can take what comes my way
Whatever goes down, whatever they say
Star of hope shine on me

'Cos I'm ready
Oh I'm ready

Deep in my darkest night
I always had a star that shone so bright
Star of hope, shine on me
I can take what comes my way
Whatever goes down, whatever they say
Star of hope shine on me

'Cos I'm ready
Oh I'm ready

"I'm Still Holding On"

"I'm Still Holding On"


How many times
Have I been here before?
Like a worn away piece of the night
Waiting for the dawn

Daylight breaks
And the dream is gone
Leaving me to stay
But I'm still holding on
Yeah I'll keep holding on

I used to think I knew
Just exactly what I took
You move in, fast and hard
And you make your own luck

Daylight breaks
And the dream is gone
Leaving me to stay
But I'm still holding on

I see it better now
Smell the tears upon this tracks
It's a long long way before it's over
And what you give out
Is what you get back
The easy way out
It will bite you hard someday
You see me smile and learn
I find a better way

I'm still holding on

"If I Ever Get Over You"

"If I Ever Get Over You"


When tomorrow comes
The first day for me
that I will rise
Not so young
But free
Gonna paint the town
The brightest red
A drink for every time you said
That we were one
Always to be
I leave at home the ring you gave to me
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever get over you

I'm gonna laugh
No more the silent one
Dance upon tables
Never home 'til midnight, been and gone
I'm gonna throw away
All my clothes so blue
Gonna try everything, everything that's new
And when tomorrow comes
The first day for me
Then I will rise not so young, but free
I will smile
As the sun comes shining through ...
If I ever
If I ever get over you

Somebody said this new life
That I have come to know
I should have tried it
Oh so many years ago
The glimpse of freedom
Sings such a happy song
It's such a shame that it's only there
Only there for one
And I will smile
As the sun comes shining through
If I ever, If I ever
Get over you

"If That's What You Want"

"If That's What You Want"


You say you need some space
Don't want to be tied to nobody that way
I'm hanging on with hands that bleed
Trying to make sense of what you say
And every time I try to make a deal
When morning comes
You forget it
So here's a whole heap of space
Cos if that's what you want
You got it

I been dragging round
Bailing you out
Every time you click your finger
So many things you say you can't do without
You need a slave
And babe that slave ain't me
And I am afraid that's how you'll always be
So if that's what you want
If that's what you want
You got it

Give and take
You'll never understand
It's all take take take
take as much as you can
So a life without responsibility
I'll gladly give you that
Here, take it from me
Fly away
And you'll find out
What life without me
Is all about
Cos if that's what you want
If that's really what you want
You got it

"If You Choose To Go"

"If You Choose To Go"


There's a street outside my window
There's a light outside my door
There's a road straight through this old town
There's a boat on every shore
There's a promise down that freeway
But there is no guarantee
There are dreams on every ocean
There are storms on every sea

If you choose to go

Now I've been out upon that ocean
Sometimes further that before
Sometimes not even past my waistline
And I screamed at what I saw
Many times along that freeway
Returning sometimes beat
There are dreams on every ocean
There are storms on every sea

If you choose to go

Plenty of places, plenty of things to see
Plenty of faces, plenty of ways to be

If you choose to go

"If You've Got A Friend In Jesus"

"If You've Got A Friend In Jesus"


If you've got a friend in Jesus
Won't you tell him about me
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Won't you tell him about me
Tell him buy me off the boss man
And set me free

If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him help this broken man
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Help this broken man
I got too much twistin' pain
Drinkin' gasoline from an old steam can

If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him listen what I say
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him listen what I say
You've got to save me from this Satan
And help me find a way

You've got a friend in Jesus
