"Teenage Daughters"

"Teenage Daughters"


I ain't complainin'
But I'm tired, so I'm just sayin'
What I think
And if we're being honest
Than honestly I think I need a drink

My baby's growin' up
She think's she's fallin' all in love
And that I hate her
At seventeen, she's just like me when I was seventeen
So I don't blame her

[Bridge:]
Do do do do
Do do do do
What are we gonna do ?
Do do do do
Do do do do
What are we gonna do about it ?

[Chorus:]
Remember when we use to be
Everything they ever need
We had them believing we were cool
It's like it happened over night
We're always wrong, their always right
We use to be the one's breakin' the rules
Now we're just mothers, we're just fathers of
Teenage Daughters

She rolls her eye's when I'm funny
But she's sweet when she wants money and her freedom
Oh my god, she's got a car
Swears they wont go far
And i wish i believed 'em

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Their beautiful, wild and free
Everything we wish we could be
But their still crazy
Oh you know, the make us crazy

[Chorus]

Yeah Teenage Daughters

I ain't complainin'
But I'm just tired, so I'm sayin'
What I think
If we're being honest
Than honestly, I think I need a drink

"Thanks A Lot"

"Thanks A Lot"


Thanks thanks a lot I got a broken heart that's all I've got
You made me cry now I cried a lot I lost your love baby thanks a lot

You told our friend as I was passin' by that you're not sorry that you made me cry
You said I deserve just what I got well if that's how you feel honey thanks a lot
Thanks thanks a lot...
[guitar]
You wanted a fool and I played the part now all I've got is a broken heart
We loved a little and laughed a lot then you were gone honey thanks a lot
Thanks thanks a lot...

"That Wasn't Me"

"That Wasn't Me"



I know she must've cut you deep
She's gone but you won't let her leave
I know your heart has not healed yet
But sometimes I think that you forget

That wasn't me
That wasn't me
I'm not the one
Who made love bring you to your knees
You can't love if you can't trust
Her memory's hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasn't me

I can no longer pay the price
For damage done by her careless lies
We can't move on 'til you let go
I always thought by now you'd know

That wasn't me
That wasn't me
I'm not the one
Who made love bring you to your knees
You can't love if you can't trust
Her memory's hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasn't me

You can't love if you can't trust
Her memory's hurt you long enough
Let your heart see
That wasn't me

"That's How Strong My Love Is"

"That's How Strong My Love Is"



If I was the Sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around.

That's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is, yeah.
That's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is.

I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
And you can go swimming when you are here
I'll be the rainbow after the storm is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm.

That's how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is, yeah.
That's how strong my love is,
That's how strong my love is.

I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
And catch all the tears whenever you cry
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and keep you warm.

That's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is,
that's how strong my love is.

Oh, my love, oh, my love is so strong
That's how strong my love is
that's how strong my love is.

"That's Me"

"That's Me"



There's a photo in an album he don't notice anymore
That's me, that's me
There's a stack of cards and letters buried deep inside a drawer
That's me, that's me
And the shirt that I once slept in hanging loose behind the door
Tossed aside so carelessly
That's me, oh that's me

There's a picture in my wallet and one less faded in my mind
That's him, that's him
There's a name that always haunts me and it slips from time to time
That's him, that's him
There's a yearning that I feel in my heart and in my soul
An old flame that'll never dim
That's him, I know that's him

(That's me)
Hangin' on to the end
(That's me)
Starting all over again
(That's love)
Oh that's the way it goes

There's a woman in the chapel in the back row by herself
That's me, that's me
And a man at the altar says "I do" to someone else
That's him, that's him
As the wedding party leaves throwing rice and wishing well
A single tear falls silently
That's me, oh Lord that's me

Oh, that's me
That's me

"That's The Thing About Love"

"That's The Thing About Love"



It will drive you
Drive you crazy
Leave your pace on the floor
Til' you can't stand no more on it and faded

Can you swear?
You're gonna quit it
So you call it a day
Blow it off
Walk away
Then you miss it

That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
Can't take anymore
But you can't get enough
Make you feel so high
Make you hurt so much
There's no way
Can't live without it
That's the thing about love, love, love

Hey, ye, ye
Ohh baby, that's the thing about love

It'll make you say things
You can't believe you're saying
Like I'm closer
Move over
I need you
I want you
I hate you

It's bad when it's bad
And this is good as it gets
The more you think about it
The less it make sense

That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
Can't take anymore
But you can't get enough
Make you feel so high
Make you hurt so much
There's no way
Can't live without it
That's the thing about love, hey, ye, yeee

It will drive you
Drive you crazy

Ohh baby, that's the thing about love

And you're beautiful baby

That's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
Can't take anymore
But you can't get enough
Make you feel so high
Make you hurt so much
There's no way
Can't live without it

Cause' that's the thing about love
That's the thing about love
Can't take anymore
But you can't get enough
Make you feel so high
Make you hurt so much
There's no way
Can't live without it
That's the thing about love, love, love

Hey, ye, ye

Ohh baby, that's the thing about love

That's the thing about love

Ohh baby, that's the thing about love

Ohhhh, yeee

"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"

"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"



Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
really know how to fly.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

"The Rope"

"The Rope"



In waters calm I sailed from shore
To see what I might see
And having never sailed before
I drifted aimlessly
A warm breeze rocked my boat until
In slumber I fell sound
But woke to find the light grown dim
And dark clouds gathering 'round

In haste I worked at turning back
But now the wind blew wrong
And when the night came cold and black
My strength was almost gone
But with one last small thread of hope
I bowed my head to pray
Then through the dark I saw a rope
And heard a calm voice say

Grab the rope hold it tight
In the distance shines a light
Neither fear nor feel alone
There is one who'll lead you home

I heard my heart beat loud and fast
But did as I was told
And with the rosy dawn at last
Dry land I did behold
I kissed the sandy banks and swore
My sailing days were through
But should I ever stray from shore
I know now what to do

Grab the rope hold it tight
In the distance shines a light
Neither fear nor feel alone
There is one who'll lead you home

Grab the rope hold it tight
In the distance shines a light

"The Time Has Come"

"The Time Has Come"



The time has come to let you go
My tears will run and they'll keep me afloat
I set you adrift like a burning boat
The time has come to let you go

The time has come to turn you loose
It took my heart this long to face the truth
If I lost you I can lose these blues
The time has come to turn you loose

We had our moment in the sun
But that time has come and now that time is gone

The time has come to set you free
Tonight's the night I'll untie all these dreams
I'll send them away so I can find some piece
The time has come to set you free

The time has come to let you go
My tears will run and they'll keep me afloat
I set you adrift like a burning boat
The time has come to let you go
I'm gonna let you go

"The Uncivil War"

"The Uncivil War"



There's a silence on the front lines
You can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your chances
Or you can run to save your life
And one side is retreating
And the other's runnin' scared
And the drums of war are beating
Ever through it's undeclared

And both sides say they're winning
And both sides know they're losing
And neither one knows what they're fighting for
And in the quiet little places
You can see the little faces
Huddled right outside the bedroom door
Praying for an end to this uncivil war

Papa needs a new job
So he's swallowing his pride
Oh but it don't go down easy
And it eats him up inside
And mama, she don't notice
Little sister's ragged dress
Lately she don't notice
Much of anything I guess

They're just fightin' off the hunger
Tryin' to keep from goin' under
But the wolves just keep on gatherin' 'round the door
There's no place to run for cover
So they're turning on each other
'Cause there really ain't no winners anymore
Just victims in this uncivil war

There's a silence on the front lines
You can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your chances
Or you can run to save your life
