"Cool Change"

"Cool Change"


If there's one thing
In my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool
And bright clear water

Lots of those friendly people
They're showing me ways to go
And I never want to
Lose their inspiration

Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change

Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales
They are my brothers

It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover

Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change

I've never been romantic
And sometimes, I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air

Yeah, yeah
Let me breathe the air

If there's one thing
In my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool
And bright clear water

It's kind of a special feeling
Out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon
Like a lover

Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change

(Time for a cool change)
It's time, it's time
It's time, it's time
For a cool, cool change
(Time for a cool change)
I know it's time for a cool change
(Time for a cool change)
Now that my life is so prearranged
Well, I know, I know
I know, I know
(Time for a cool change)
It's time for a cool change
Yes, it is, yes, it is yes, it is
You know it's time for a cool change

"Count Me In"

"Count Me In"


When it's time for the final act to begin, call me,
When you find your patience wearing too thin,
There's a path that leads you straight to their door,
I know if you believe, in time we'll even the score,
I've walked that mile before.

Yes, I'd like to join your fight,
Pull your ranks in tight and count me in,
Every move feels right tonight,
Darkness turns to light so count me in.

Take your place, let them know you've arrived, go now,
Play your ace, show them how to survive,
They held you back, nailed you down to the floor, slowly,
You've got the brass ring, now you'll even the score,
I've walked that mile before.

Yes, I'd like to join your fight,
Pull your ranks in tight and count me in,

You beat them at their own game, so now,
They'll let you be but they know their loss is your gain,
I've walked that mile before.

Darkness turns to light so count me in,

"Country Girls"

"Country Girls"


I's hard to be a loner so they tell me,
But its easy to be alone here and I know,
I used to live with country girls,
Now the city's all I know,
And I'm tryin' to find a way to get back home,
I'm goin' home.

Well, it's hard to feel unhappy in the country,
But it's easy for the city life to bring you down,
I used to know some country girls,
And they never were unkind,
It's hard to tear their memory from my mind,
You know they're on my mind, oh.

So I have to get away,
Way down, way down in the country,

I used to live with country girls,
And they never were unkind,
It's so hard to tear their memory from my mind, woah, my mind.

I have to get away,
Way down, way down in the country,
Where the city lights won't change me.

In the country, in the country.

Walk down here, be a part of real living,
Country air is taking me home again,
Used to be living alone in the city.
Country girls are getting to me, yeah,
Country girl, I just want to be there.

She takes me, country girl,
Ah, you make me feel like I've found a way to get back home.

"Curiosity (Killed The Cat)"

"Curiosity (Killed The Cat)"


Sometimes I think I'm just a crazy cat,
Running around don't know where it's at
Getting confused with my way of life,
That's when you say now you cut that jive.

Right now, right now.
You keep this flame I have alight in me,
And with this cat it's curiosity,
That keeps me hanging on night and day,
Surprisingly again I hear you say.

Guess what, guess what.
Curiosity killed the cat,
I'm telling you I know where it's at,
Love is everywhere to be found,
open your eyes and look around.

You You You ... Yeah Yeah Yeah ...
Some things you say take me by surprise,
I like your style so give me your advice,
Send me the truth and I'll always be,
singing your song with you in harmony.

That's right, that's right.
Curiosity killed the cat,
I'm telling you I know where it's at,
Love is everywhere to be found,
Open your eyes and look around.

Curiosity killed the cat,
I'm telling you I know where it's at,
Love is everywhere to be found,
Open your eyes and look around.
You You You
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Aah Aah Aah
Ooh Ooh Ooh

"Cuts Like A Diamond"

"Cuts Like A Diamond"


Breaking ground is what I do
I’m searching for what’s inside of you
A diamond rough is hard to cut
Is this one’s taken everything I got

I know that a beauty lays deep inside
Its body on the rise

Cuts like a diamond, stone against stone
Showing me everything that lives in your soul
Cuts like a diamond, your love and mine
Bring it out, the things left untold
Giving us life

Breaking ground is breaking through
You found in me what I found in you
The heart will know what the eyes can’t see
This time around I do believe

That we’ll love the beauty there, deep inside
Far beyond our eyes

Cuts like a diamond, stone against stone
Showing me everything that lives in your soul
Cuts like a diamond, your love and mine
Bring it out, the things left untold
Giving us life

Angel writings, can never know when they’ll be found
When you least expect it, they’ll come around

Cuts like a diamond, stone against stone
Showing me everything that lives in your soul
Cuts like a diamond, your love and mine
Bring it out, the things left untold

You’re like a diamond, more than you know
Showing me everything deep in your soul
Cuts like a diamond, your love and mine
Bring it out, the things left untold
Giving us life

"Days On The Road"

"Days On The Road"


I remember the days on the road tryin' to get somewhere
All the time spent behind the wheel
I remember the faces of people who did me wrong there
And they were, oh, so many to know

Country dates and fans who wait for hours
It's strange I don't even remember a name
Patiently they wait and see where will he run to now
And they were, oh, so many to know

I was born a dream chaser
Running away from the country that made me
Rock 'n' roll you're a home breaker
Turnin' my head from the family that loved me

And I hate it
How I hate leaving you
But what more can I do than to try and find my way

Carry me on to somewhere
Send me someone who will share it all
Help me to find my peace of mind

I remember the days on the road I almost died there
Each year harder than those before
And I'll remember the faces of friends if I ever go back again
They were all so many to know

I remember the days on the road
I remember the days on the road

I remember the days on the road
I remember the days on the road
Yes, I do, yes, I do, oh

I remember the days on the road
I remember the days on the road
And they were so many to know

"Don't Blame Me"

"Don't Blame Me"


I was just thirteen when I left home,
Living in my daddy's shadow,
There was so much goin' on that he couldn't feel,
There were times when I was scared,
Hell, but nobody cared,
And I could tell that the love he spoke of just wasn't real.

Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.

I love to travel on the back-road,
It's the only life for me,
I know when to go, I sense when to go back, I wanna be free,
There are days when I can move the earth,
And time when I've found what people are worth,
And I can't accept the way we've come to be.

Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me,
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.

Then a lady came into my life - she turned me upside dowm,
I was so naive, had my heart in my own sleeve,
I love to see her around,
There were times when I was glad to pay the price,
But there were nights she was cold as ice, so I ran away - and I'm still running now.

Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me if I just don't like it that way,
Please let me go, don't ask me to stay,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.
Don't blame me, don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me,
Don't blame me, don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me.

I hate to have to disagree, I only wanna be me,
Never can just go along with the things I dislike,
I can't help it if I wanna fight,
Don't wanna have to walk away, don't wanna stay another day,
You can't appericiate my point of view, so I may as well as go,
And you know that you could not blame me, don't blame me,
I'm beggin' you please just don't blame me,
Don't blame me, just don't blame me.

"Don't Let The Needle Win"

"Don't Let The Needle Win"


You come to me, ask me for that money again,
You say that you need it, to ease that nagging feeling inside your brain,
You know I love you like a brother,
That's why I'm holding out on you,
I'll give most anything I can,
To see that you pull through.

You gotta keep fighting for your life,
Don't you ever give in,
It's such a sensless suicide,
Letting the needle win.

Life is precious too us all, you got to cling to that thread,
It's no use you thinking you won't be found in some back alley dead,
You're telling me you can't stop, no you can't change,
You're caught up in that web, instead of running,
It's time to face up to those forgotten feelings inside your head.

You gotta keep fighting for your life,
Don't you ever give in,
It's such a sensless suicide,
Letting the needle win.

Oh, my friend you're so fragile,
You blow like a leaf in the wind,
It's time to ask yourself why,
You're hiding away, you're locking the door,
Don't let no one else in (don't you let nobody in)

You come to me, ask me for that money again,
You say that you need it, to ease that nagging feeling inside your brain,
You know I love you like a brother,
That's why I'm holding out on you, woa,
I'll give most anything I can,
To see that you pull through.

You gotta keep fighting for your life,
Don't you ever give in,
It's such a sensless suicide,
Letting the needle win,
Oh, you gotta keep fighting for your life,
Don't you ever give in,
It's such a sensless suicide,
Letting the needle win,
Don't let the needle win,
Don't let the needle win,
No don't you ever give in,
Don't let the needle win.

"Down On The Border"

"Down On The Border"


I just got back
From the border
And what I saw
Made me know for sure
We're out of order

I had a dream
About New Orleans
At Jackson Square
I heard a prayer
Down to New Orleans

On the run
There's a life for livin'
But the people there
They just don't care
Livin' their life
Like a millionaire
Down on the border

You'll never see me
In old Iran
The women there
Don't know who I am
In old Iran

And I never will go
To Singapore
The people there
Will cut your hair
In Singapore

On their streets
There's a life of plenty
But they'll never know
About the freedom show
They're livin'
In darkness years ago
Down on the border

They built a wall at the border
Not to keep us out
But to leave no doubt
They're out of order, hey

And all the people
Who are trapped within
Serve to show
Just how far we'll go
And how dumb we've been

At the top
Life looks so easy
But they'll never know
What they'll never know
They're much too busy
Countin' all their dough
From the border
From the border

Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
Down on the border
