"I'm Just A Passenger"

"I'm Just A Passenger"



I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie.

I've been to cities,
I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if
I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around.

I'm like an eagle,
I like to fly high
I'm like a snake,
I like to lay low
I'm like a black man,
I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know.

I'm just a passenger
on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar
through the night
I doesn't matter
where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie.

"I'm The Ocean"

"I'm The Ocean"



I'm an accident
I was driving way too fast
Couldn't stop though
So I let the moment last
I'm for rollin'
I'm for tossin' in my sleep
It's not guilt though
It's not the company I keep

People my age
They don't do the things I do
They go somehwere
While I run away with you
I got my friends
And I got my children too
I got her love
She's got my love too

I can't hear you
But I feel the things you say
I can't see you
But I see what's in my way
Now I'm floatin'
Cause I'm not tied
to the ground
Words I've spoken
Seem to leave a hollow sound

On the long plain
See the rider in the night
See the chieftain
See the braves
in cool moonlight
Who will love them
When they take another life
Who will hold them
When they tremble
for the knife

Voicemail numbers
On an old computer screen
Rows of lovers
Parked forever in a dream
Screaming sirens
Echoing across the bay
To the old boats
From the city far away

Homeless heroes
Walk the streets
of their hometown
Rows of zeros
On a field
that's turning brown
They play baseball
They play football
under lights
They play card games
And we watch them every night

Need distraction
Need romance and candlelight
Need random violence
Need entertainment tonight
Need the evidence
Want the testimony of
Expert witnesses
On the brutal crimes of love

I was too tired
To see the news
when I got home
Pulled the curtain
Fell into bed alone
Started dreaming
Saw the rider once again
In the doorway
Where she stood
and watched for him
Watched for him

I'm not present
I'm a drug
that makes you dream
I'm an aerostar
I'm a cutlass supreme
In the wrong lane
Trying to turn
against the flow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow

I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean

"I'm Your Kind Of Guy"

"I'm Your Kind Of Guy"



Baby,
Why don't you be my girl?
I'll give it a try,
Cause I'm your kind of guy.

I said, baby,
Why don't you be my girl?
I'll give it a try,
Cause I'm your kind of guy.

I'll send you flowers
every day girl,
If you will promise to be mine,
forever more.
And if you say
the words I long to hear,
You know how happy I'll be.

So baby,
Why don't you be my girl?
I'll give it a try,
Cause I'm your kind of guy.

"I've Been Waiting For You"

"I've Been Waiting For You"



I've been looking
for a woman
to save my life
Not to beg or to borrow
A woman with
the feeling of
losing once or twice
Who knows how
could it be tomorrow?

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
Such a long time now.

I've been waiting for you
And you've been coming to me
For such a long time now
Such a long time now.

"I've Loved Her So Long"

"I've Loved Her So Long"



She's a victim of her senses
Do you know her?
Can you see her in the distance
As she tumbles by?
Veteran of a race
that should be over
Can you hear her sigh?
With wings to fly
She rolls along
Doing it wrong.

Oh, I've loved her so long
Oh, I've loved her so long
There's a place that I know
We could go
get away for a while
I can bring her the peace
That she needs
Give her reason to smile.

Oh, I've loved her so long

"If I Could Have Her Tonight"

"If I Could Have Her Tonight"



All of a sudden she
was on my mind
I wasn't ready for her kind
And she was taking her time.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that
she'd like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

Lately I've found myself
losing my mind
Knowing how badly I need her
It's something hard to find.

What if she came to me
Would she be kind?
And if she stayed with me
Do you think that she'd
like to do anything
I would, or would she leave me?

If I could have her tonight
Does she want to go?
Look at those eyes
Does she want it?
If I could have her tonight

If I could have her tonight
If I could have her tonight.

"If I Don't Know"

"If I Don't Know"



If I don't know what I'm doin'
And all my big ideas fail
Like build a dam against the water so the river dies
Veins, the Earth's blood

And if I don't know what I'm sayin'
And all the world's dreams come true
Like finding oil and shooting poison in the ground
Veins, Earth's blood

And if the melodies stay pretty
And the songs are not too long
I'll try to find a way to get them back to you
Veins, the Earth's blood

"If You Could Read My Mind"

"If You Could Read My Mind"



If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost, you can see

If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me

Heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the endings just to hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two, a movie queen
To play the scene of bringing
All the good things out in me
But for now love let's be real

I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet the story always ends

If you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack

I never knew I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back

"If You Got Love"

"If You Got Love"



When you walk in a room
You hold your head up high
You talk to people eye to eye
There's nothing to hide
You're feeling
so complete inside
Your heart feels
so complete inside
'Cause you got love.

If you got love
You know you got it
If you got love
Can't live without it
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command

You're staring
in the face of scorn
You know your spirit
can't be torn
You're living like a satellite
Maintain your distance
through the night
You know that
something isn't right
Your heart tells you
it's just not right
'Cause you got love.

If you got love
You know you got it
If you got love
Can't live without it
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command.

If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command
If you got love
To share
If you got love
To share.

"In The Great Divide"

"In The Great Divide"



In the canyons of the great divide
Familiar places
that we can run and hide
Are filled with strangers
Walking in our houses alone

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well

On the horses of the carousel
She rides alone with you and me
She rides like she knows
Wherever she goes, we'll be there

On the carousel
Life is going well
Anyone can tell, we're in love
On the Carousel
You're gonna like the way you feel

You and I we got caught down there
In the twisted canyons
of the great divide
We walked the floor
Now we don't go there anymore

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You don't fit in too well

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well
