"Do It To Me"

"Do It To Me"



Your blood runs hot as fire here, feel it bubbling in your brain
Your heart is pumping like the engine of a locomotive train
The hunger that you’re feeling girl, it can’t be satisfied
And no amount of concentration is going to get you
Off my mind

Because girl you do it to me
There ain’t no stopping once you’ve tried it
Just lose your head, can’t keep control

Searching for an answer to the longing in your life
You don’t even understand what’s happening inside
I’m making contact trust is the one thing you can’t see
You want to give it all away so you can finally breathe

So girl you do it to me
There ain’t no stopping once you’ve tried it
Just lose your head, can’t keep control
There ain’t no use girl, you can’t hide it
You lose your love and lose your soul

Baby look around and see, and then you listen to your heart
Don’t let it tear our love apart
All that I have, if it’s right or if it’s wrong
For me girl, this is over

All that you’re feeling girl it can’t be satisfied
And no amount of concentration is going to get you
Off my mind

So girl you do it to me
There ain’t no stopping once you’ve tried it
Just lose your head, can’t keep control
There ain’t no use girl, you can’t hide it
You lose your love and lose your soul
You do it to me
There ain’t no stopping once you’ve tried it
Just lose your head, can’t keep control
There ain’t no use girl, you can’t hide it
You lose your love and lose your soul
You do it to me
I said you do it to me
Said you do it to me
I said you do it to me

"Do Or Die"

"Do Or Die"



Am I too young, am I too old
I really don’t know when I’m told
No one here can tell me what to do
If I’d have listened once or twice
And maybe taken their advise
Everything would happen very soon

But let me tell you one and all
I’m the kind that just can’t wait in line
Never one to question why
Walk straight in, I always do or die

Well you can knock me down
But don’t count me out
When it all comes down to the final round
You’re gonna see the best come out of me
And I know in faith, we all must trust
But I’ve seen you faith turn to lust
And every now and then, I clearly see

Let me tell you one and all
I’m the kind that just can’t start a fight
But if trouble’s what your looking for
Walk straight in, I always do or die
Left alone I know I’ll get by
Still I stand, and I know I still do or die

Let me tell you one and all
I’m the kind that just can’t wait in line
Never one to question why
Walk straight in
I always walk straight in
Do or die
Do or die

"Driving Wheels"

"Driving Wheels"



Well he's following the broken lines
Living on borrowed time
Motel rooms and broken hearts all left behind
You swear he couldn't close his eyes
As he shifts into overdrive
He's been up and down this road so many times

The man of his own
And searching just keeps him proving
That only the road
Can tame the rebel in his soul

It's the rhythm of the highway
As he rolls on down
And city lights as they fade from sight
Drives the man behind the driving wheels

Like a cowboy in a rodeo
Riding hard but never letting go
You'll be wand'ring through the twilight of his life
Waylon Jennings on the radio
Country music and engines roar
Like a shooting star across a desert sky
And he's got a home
But it's out on the blue horizon
Heaven only knows
There's still a rebel in his soul

It's the rhythm of the highway
As he rolls on down
And city lights as they fade from sight
Drives the man behind the driving wheels

And chasing southern lights
In the distant sky
And open plains with the mountains high
Drives the man behind the driving wheels

Well he's thought about settling down
A little diner on the edge of town
But in this world of push and shove
He's still got freedom in his blood

It's the rhythm of the highway...

"Every Beat"

"Every Beat"



Oh darling
I just got to let you know
I just can’t stand it
When I have to let you go

If you only knew
How I hunger for you
With every beat of my heart

You call me on the phone
Just to test my love
But girl when I’m all alone
You’re the only one I’m thinking of

If you only know
How I’m wishing for you
With every beat of my heart

Love knows, love grows
And love will show no fear
So baby don’t you cry or wonder why
Let me wipe away your tears

I know it’s true
I want no one but you
It’s always been right
From the start

If you only know
I was wishing for you
With every beat of my heart
With every beat of my heart
I wanna love ya with every beat of my heart

"Everything Is Changing"

"Everything Is Changing"



She tells me I'd better stop talking now baby
Glasses hiding the tears in her eyes
A rush from the poison
That runs though her veins
And still I'm drawn to that girl like a flame

I can feel everything is changing
I'm not alone

The touch from her hair
As it falls on my face
For a moment...
All of my pain disappears
With each second that passes
I'm pulled back again
And the hurting comes
When she's no longer near
Can't see clear

I can feel everything is changing
I'm not alone
Lips that taste of nobody blaming
I need to know

Won't you come back?
And help me though the night
Won't you come back?
And help me find the light

I can feel everything is changing
I'm not alone
Lips that taste of nobody blaming
I need to know

She tells me I'd better stop talking now baby
Glasses hiding the tears in her eyes

"Fade To Black"

"Fade To Black"



I'll be with you tonight
Far away from the noise of the crowd
I'm gonna cash in my dreams
I got no use for them now
Come on turn on the light
There is too much to lose
So give me something to believe in
When day fades to black
I won't look back, of that I'm certain
When day fades to black
I won't look back at all

I wanna get of this one way street
Don't want to be among the faceless
Here I am one of the living dead
Murdered by the streets that surround me

Can't knock me down in this fight
I don't know how to lose
These city walls that try to confine me
Won't bring me down on my knees
This ain't no time to be lonely
Cause there ain't nothing that's left
Here to hold me
I can't be bought with a handful of dreams
And the promises I can't believe in

I wanna get of this one way street
Don't want to be among the faceless
Here I am one of the living dead
Murdered by the streets that surround me

"Fire"

"Fire"



It's a little strange you know
You might think it's kinda weird
But she is my one true love
I hold her oh so near

She's not like some other girls
Picks you up just to put you down
When she gets a hold of you
She'll burn that man to the ground

Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go
Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go

Oh there I go again
I just can't stand to be away too long
Without my woman near
I know that my life
Will soon be gone

I've just got to see her again
Got to see her across the floor
Cause without my one true love
I know that my life will be no more

Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go
Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go
Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go
Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go
Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go
Fire
I'm caught up and I can't let go

"Flame Trees"

"Flame Trees"



Kids out driving Saturday afternoon, just pass me by
I’m just savoring familiar sights
We shared some history, this town and I
And I can’t stop that long forgotten feeling of her
It’s time to book a room and stay the night

Number one is to find some friends to say
You're doing well
After all this time you boys look just the same
Number two is the happy hour
At one of two hotels
Settle into play do you remember so and so
Number three is never say her name

Oh those flame trees will blind a weary driver
And there’s nothing else could set fire to this town
There’s no change, there’s no pace
Everything within it’s place
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won’t be around

Who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
Take more than just a memory to make me cry
And I'm happy just to sit here
‘round a table with old friends
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
And there’s a girl she’s falling in love
Near where the pianola stands
With her young local factory out-of-worker
They’re just holing hands
And I'm wondering if he’ll go or if he’ll stay
Do you remember
Nothings stopped us on the field
In our day

Oh those flame trees will blind a weary driver
And there’s nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there’s no pace
Everything within it’s place
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won’t be around

Oh those flame trees will blind a weary driver
And there’s nothing else could set fire to this town
There's no change, there’s no pace
Everything within it’s place
Just makes it harder to believe
That she won’t be around

"Fooling Yourself"

"Fooling Yourself"



When you were in your mother’s arms
Got all you wanted with your charm
And as you grew all that you’d need
Fell like a miracle at your feet

Breaking up all that held you down
Under your smile there was a frown

I don’t think you had it planned
I don’t think you understand

When you first felt that you’d been wrong
You kept it hidden all along
Yeah you just smiled and stood your ground
Knowing your secret would be found

Hiding your feelings from yourself
Hurting was kept for someone else
I don’t think you had it planned
I don’t think you understand

I’ve seen you go from right to wrong
Watching you find where you belong
There’s a time just a
Moment of truth will you fall

Breaking up all that held you down
Under your smile there was a frown
Hiding your feelings from yourself
Hurting was kept for someone else

I don’t think you had it planned
I don’t think you understand

"Forgiveness"

"Forgiveness"



I've been trying to make amends
I've been trying to choose a better path
I know I can't change what's been done
But I'll face up to it
I don't wanna run

It's hard to look at my mistakes
And I know I've made a lot of them
Burned some bridges in the past
But I'm gonna try and make sure they're the last

Can you find forgiveness?
Can you forget the past?

I've been looking straight ahead
I'm trying to see what can be positive
'cause what's behind me can't be changed
And it won't get any better holding blame

Can you find forgiveness?
Can you forget the past?

I'm leaving it all
When I travel to the other side
And I wanna have you
Forever in my heart
You're my life

Can you find forgiveness?
Can you forget the past?
Can you find forgiveness?
Can you forget the past?
Can you find forgiveness?
Can you forget the past?
