"Welcome To The Fishbowl"

"Welcome To The Fishbowl"



You see me and I see you
Can't hide nothing 'cause it's all see-through
Don't be a fool enough to tell a lie
Satellite's watching up in the sky
And for all the world to know
What we do and where we go
Welcome to the fishbowl

You don't have to be famous now to be a star
Just get caught on video and there ya are
You just lost your privacy
Now you're swimmin' around in here with me
Everybody else may know
It's all a big freak show
Welcome to the fishbowl

Everybody's business is everybody's business
And it's big business now
Who's gonna be the first to get the story out?
Who loves who and where are they gonna meet?
Covert picture that proves they cheat
God, it's getting hard to breathe this way
Everybody's life is on display
It's gotten out of control
Tell me do you feel exposed?
Well, welcome to the fishbowl

Everybody's business is everybody's business
And it's big business now
We're all in here together and we can't get out
Welcome to the fishbowl

Everybody else may know
It's all a big freak show
Welcome to the fishbowl

And for all the world to know
What we do and where we go
Welcome to the fishbowl
Yeah, welcome to the fishbowl

(You had to chase this dream, you had to be a star)
Yeah, yeah welcome to the fishbowl
(A house in the hills, money, sex, boats, cars)
Yeah, yeah welcome to the fishbowl
(Well now you got a name that everybody knows)
Yeah, yeah welcome to the fishbowl
No need to cry or moan
Welcome to the fishbowl

"What I Need To Do"

"What I Need To Do"



I keep tellin' myself this is the right thing to do
I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true
And this old highway seems to understand
Leadin' me on to somewhere that no one knows my name
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
I'm doin' all that I can to get my mind off us

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can 'til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on, and on, and on

Eighty-seven more miles gets me into Baton Rogue
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
I know my baby sister, has got a couch where I can sleep
Now the sun's goin' down on my broken heart
Lord, I gotta get back before I get too far

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can 'til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on
Yes I drive on, and on, and on

Knowin' what I need to do
Girl, I'm comin' home to you

Knowin' what I need to do
Girl I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home to you
Knowin' what I need to do

"Whatever It Takes"

"Whatever It Takes"



Well, I've been drawing little hearts in the morning paper
Lookin' for a house an' a couple of acres
You'll be mine some time, sooner or later and I can't wait

Like a busy ol' bee savin' up it's honey
Honey I'm savin' up all my money
To have you I'll do anything I have to,
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
I'll tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard
out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Well I've been yellin' your name from a lookout mountain
Tossing my pennies in a downtown fountain
Makin' my wishes I'm hopin' they're countin' for loves sake
I'll swim upstream in a ragin' river
Walk through fire til you get the picture
I swear I'll bare anything to get there
Whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
I'll tell the world I'm yours, put it on a billboard
out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

Whatever it takes to win your love
I'll hire me an airplane, have it paint your name
up in the sky above
Yeah I'll tell the world I'm yours,
put it on a billboard out on the interstate
If it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes
Well if it takes forever to get us together
Honey I'll do whatever it takes

"When I Close My Eyes"

"When I Close My Eyes"



There's so many things
I didn't say
And even though
It may be too late
I want you to know
I still love you so
Every car I meet
Looks like your car
Every movie I see
You play the leading part
You're on my mind
Can't leave you behind

When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes

In my mind I know
You're far away
But here in my heart
Nothing has changed
I'm still holdin' you
Like I used to
On a busy street
In a crowded room
Wherever I go
It's just me and you
Together again
Girl it never ends

When I close my eyes
You're all I see
In the dark of night
You're in my dreams
Throughout the day
You're easy to find
You're always there
When I close my eyes

You're always there
When I close my eyes

"When I See This Bar"

"When I See This Bar"



Well I see the souls of so many friends,
And I see us all back here again.
With sandy floors and ceiling fans,
A Rastafarian one-man band with songs
That fill my memories like a tip jar.
Yeah, that's what I see
When I see this bar.

I see tourists at Christmas time,
And I taste beers with a hint of lime.
I feel lonely cause it's not the same,
Different faces and different names,
Living like pirates out among the stars.
Yeah, that's what I see
When I see this bar.

Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

And I see a kid coming into his own
And a man learning to move on.
Somehow trying to find his way,
A dreamer betting on blind faith
Chasing that sun and following his heart.
Yeah, that's what I see
When I see this bar.

Pieces of our past slowly slip away,
But time just stands still when I walk in this place.

A few have moved on back to Maine,
Jacksonville and Key Biscayne.
Some are still living the dream,
Stuck in still life it seems.
No matter where they've been,
Or where they are,
Yeah, I see 'em here
When I see this bar.
When I see this bar.

I wonder where we go from here
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
Life ain't over but it's always near
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
I think about all the good times that we had
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
It makes me happy and it makes me sad
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
How could we be so close, now so far apart
(That's what I see when I see this bar)
That's what I feel, that's what I see
Yeah we were living like pirates and wannabe stars
That's what I see when I see this bar

That's what I see when I see this bar

"When I Think About Leaving"

"When I Think About Leaving"



You know some times me and my lady have these crazy fights and when we do it makes me wonder
Are we're ever gonna get it right

When I think about leaving I think about me
What my life would be like if I were back to being free
Go where I wanna go, do what I wanna do, wouldn't have a soul I had to answer to
When I think about leaving I think about me

You know I got a friend him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye he had all he could
Stand one day and just packed up and said good-bye

When I think about leaving I think about him
That little apartment cross town he's living in
Got an old corvette, got a new girlfriend, but only sees his kids every other weekend
When I think about leaving oh I think about him

I never will forget her face or the day she told me about her dad, how he walked out on her
And her mom when she was just a kid

When I think about leaving oh I think about her
Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt
With her little arms wrapped around his neck saying daddy where you going, are you coming
Back
When I think about leaving I think about her

You know the truth is, most of the time things were really great and I know we got something
Special
When I think about leaving I think about us
How we build this love we share on faith and trust, honest way we talk, tender way we touch,
All those nights we spent making love,
When I think about leaving oh I think about us

When I think about leaving I think again
Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then
In my heart I know I would never leave, there's nowhere else on earth I would rather be
When I think about leaving I think again

When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving:I think again

"When She Calls Me Baby"

"When She Calls Me Baby"



She'll call me honey
When she needs a helping hand
She might say darlin'
If she needs someone to understand
She'll call me sugar
If she's feelin' kinda sweet
She'll say that I'm crazy
Over my little jealousies

When she calls me baby
I just reach for the light
I'll hold her like a lady
Thank God she's all mine
With her arms around me
I can leave the world behind
When she calls me baby
I know what's on her mind

When this life has brought
me to my keees
She's got a way of bringin'
out the man in me

When she calls me baby
I just reach for the light
I'll hold her like a lady
Thank God she's all mine
With her arms around me
I can leave the world behind
When she calls me baby
I know what's on her mind

Oh, when she calls me baby
I know what's on her mind

"When The Sun Goes Down"

"When The Sun Goes Down"


Sun tanned toes ticklin the sand
Cold drink chillin in my right hand
Watchin you sleep in the evening light
Restin up for a long, long night

[Chorus:]
Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin all right
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

All day long just takin it easy
Layin in the hammock where it's nice and breezy
Sleepin off the night before
Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be back for more

[Chorus:]
When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin
When the sun goes down,we'll be feeling alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
This sweet concoction is smooth as molasses
Nothing to do but breathe all day
Until the big moon rises and it's time to play


When the sun goes down, we'll be grooving
When the sun goes down, we'll be feeling alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
She thinks Kracker's Sexy when the sun goes down

We'll be feeling alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Uncle Kennys' hotter when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin
When the sun goes down, hey Uncle Kenny
When the sun goes down over the water,
Everything is hotter when the sun goes down.

"Where I Grew Up"

"Where I Grew Up"



There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house
Where Mama used to measure us
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised
But that ain't where I grew up

See, I gained a little on Father Time
The summer my Granddaddy died
The first time I saw Mama cry
Man, that sure was tough

Felt like I put on a few years
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
That's where I grew up

My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
Getting a head start on twenty one
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
But that ain't where I grew up

See I gained a little on Father Time
That night I crossed that center line
I bet I rolled a dozen times

Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
Praying God just get me out
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck
Hey, that's where I grew up

You learn as you go, that's how you grow

See, I gained a little on Father Time
When me and her, had our first big fight
I said some things, I made her cry
She packed all her stuff

The boy in me said let her go
But the man in me said pull her close
It was time to find out which one I was
Standing in a doorway holding on to love

That's where I grew up
Oh, that's where I grew up

"While He Still Knows Who I Am"

"While He Still Knows Who I Am"



Drive a Chevy cuz he drove Chevys,
Like him I'm a baseball fan.
I'm going back to see him
While he still knows
Who I am.

Mama says he can't remember.
Daddy thinks he still can.
I'm going back to see him
While he still knows
Who I am.

This time I'm gonna hug him
Instead of just shaking hands.
Gonna tell him that I love him
While he still knows
Who I am.

I only knew him as my father,
I'm gonna get to know the man.
I'm going back to see him
While he still knows
Who I am.

This time I'm gonna kiss him
Instead of just shaking hands.
Gonna tell him that I love him
While he still knows
Who I am.
