"When The Sun Don't Always Shine"

"When The Sun Don't Always Shine"



I hope this day is good, hoping I might find the way
To take the rain and wash the blue away
You never know when the time might turn around
And now I sit here, thinking this might be the day

When the sun don't always shine on the same face all the time
I'll wait my turn, as I live and learn
I won't fall too far behind when the sun don't always shine

I've got two good hands, the name my daddy gave to me
Got a willing heart, a little faith is all you need
And there I go, thinking I can face tomorrow
I won't hang my head, 'cause love goes on and on

When the sun don't always shine on the same face all the time
I'll wait my turn, as I live and learn
I won't fall too far behind when the sun don't always shine

Always shine, always shine
When the sun don't always shine on the same face all the time
I'll wait my turn as I live and learn
I won't fall too far behind when the sun don't always shine
Always shine, always shine

"When Twist Comes To Shout"

"When Twist Comes To Shout"



Movin' like a fast train
Callin' it the wild thang
Hopin' that you don't say
Well, I've been denied
Lordy, I've been denied
Your fever is high, you're tossin' about
But it ain't love till twist comes to shout

When twist comes to shout
Katie, bar the back door, you ain't gonna let her out
When the walls come a-tumblin' down, I said down
You've got heart, you got soul, you got love
When twist comes to shout

Dancin' with a new shoe
You think you got the swine flu
A-hopin' that it ain't true
Well, I'll testify
Lordy, I'll testify
Gotta make you see what you've been doin' without
'Cause it ain't love till twist comes to shout

When twist comes to shout
Katie, bar the back door, you ain't gonna let her out
When the walls come a-tumblin' down, I said down
You've got heart, you got soul, you got love
When twist comes to shout

I'm gonna make you see what you've been doin' without
'Cause it ain't love till twist comes to shout

When twist comes to shout
Katie, bar the back door, you ain't gonna let her out
When the walls come a-tumblin' down, I said down
You've got heart, you got soul, you got love
When twist comes to shout

You've got heart, you got soul, you got love
When twist comes to shout

"When You Run From Love"

"When You Run From Love"



Love up and beat a path to my back door
I could always walk away before
I thought I could get away untouched
But you think too much when you run from love
When you run from love

When you run from love
The quickest way ain't fast enough
And the trains and the planes will let you down
If you hide your eyes
You make a chain of pain and lies
And you know that you're only losing ground
When you run from love

My heart never beat the beat of a losing kind
Could always touch the flame and not feel the fire
Your heart ain't the place you want shelter from
When you run from love
When you run from love

When you run from love
The quickest way ain't fast enough
And the trains and the planes will let you down
If you hide your eyes
You make a chain of pain and lies
And you know that you're only losing ground
When you run from love

When you run from love
The quickest way ain't fast enough
And the trains and the planes will let you down
If you hide your eyes
You make a chain of pain and lies
And you know that you're only losing ground
When you run from love

When you're runnin' from love

"When Your Heart Goes (Woo, Woo, Woo)"

"When Your Heart Goes (Woo, Woo, Woo)"



Now they got girls in Georgia
They got girls in Maine
They got girls in the wild wild west
That drive most men insane

And when you hear you take the noise
And you feel the powder boys
Love is on the run
And when you finally find a lover
And she comes an undercover
You know she's the one

When your heart goes woo woo woo woo woo woo
When your heart goes woo woo woo

It'll strike like thunder and lightnin
It'll beat you like a drum
But the fell at first is a far far cry
From the feelin when it's done

And when you go to bed a flutter
And your step is now a stutter
Ears are over mine
And you decidin whether
That you never say never
Love will give a sign

When your heart goes woo woo woo woo woo woo
When your heart goes woo woo woo

When your heart goes woo woo woo woo woo woo
When your heart goes woo woo woo

"Where Christmas Goes"

"Where Christmas Goes"



Gold cardboard angels - popcorn on string
One matchbox manger not fit for a King
Old decorations going back in their box
Down came the Christmas tree -
Just a child in its spot

And I was that child asking my Daddy why
Some things just come when it's Christmas time

Tell me where Christmas goes
After all the gifts and snow
I hope it doesn't go far
Daddy said close your eyes
Remember when and you will find
That it's right where you are
Cause Christmas goes right to your heart

Two little people look up from their beds
No bedtime stories - just questions instead
How do reindeer fly and where do they live?
And do little elves really make all the gifts that Santa gives

Oh I was that child asking my Daddy why
Now I look at their faces through my Daddy's eyes

Tell me where Christmas goes
After all the gifts and snow
I hope it doesn't go far
Daddy said close your eyes
Remember when and you will find
That it's right where you are
Cause Christmas goes right to your heart

"Where Was I"

"Where Was I"



On a black and white TV back in grammar school
I was watching Neal Armstrong walking on the moon
That same day I pretended I was an astronaut
on the playground monkey bars I flew above the stars
I was in a Dallas disco the night John Lennon died
The DJ played "Imagine" and everybody cried
I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands
All we were saying was let's give peace a chance

Where was I when you stopped lovin' me
When did I become history
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me

Every 20,000 years a comet lights up the night
On a blanket we watched it sail across the sky
A Moment like that comes just once in life
It felt like our first time at 11:35

Where was I when you stopped lovin' me
When did I become history
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me

I remember when I met you
The taste of our first kiss
I remember your goodbye
Could you tell me this

Where was I when you stopped lovin' me
When did I become history
There's not many things that escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me

Where was I when you stopped loving me

"Wide Open"

"Wide Open"



I can hear the wheels turnin’ out there in the rain
I’m gonna keep on makin every line
I’m rollin’ down the window and I’m callin’ out your name
Baby it’s been too long coming, my love is an engine runnin’

Wide Open
I’m gonna ride and keep my wheels in motion
Well if I crash and Burn
Well sometimes hearts get broken
Runnin’ wide open

I want to feel the way it feels to push it to the wall
Let’s see what this thing can really do
When it comes to havin’ you I’d gladly risk it all
I’m gonna put my whole heart in it
And tonight I’m gonna blow the limit

Wide Open
I’m gonna ride and keep my wheels in motion
Well if I crash and Burn
Well sometimes hearts get broken
Runnin’ wide open

Tonight there’s only one way left to go
One way left to go
I’m bringing you my pure emotion, full devotion

"With This Ring"

"With This Ring"


I'll say my peace and I'll play my hand
And maybe this way you'll understand
I'm short on words I was raised that way
But I still mean all the ones I say

[Chorus:]
And with ring I promise you
Everything that I have or can do
There's so many roads that love can run
But here in my heart your the only one

I do all right here on my own
But you give me things I've never known
Oh here I am getting up my nerve
It may not be all that you deserve

[Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

Here in my heart your the only one

"With You Daddy"

"With You Daddy"



I asked my dad how did he quit smoking
He said, "Son one day I saw you tokin" on a
Half smoked cigarette, he left laying by his tools

He said I couldn't have been more than nine or ten
When I looked at him with a cat eating grin, and said
"Look at me daddy, I'm the Marlboro man, just like you."

I did my best to step in every footprint daddy made
I'd stretch my legs as far as they'd go
Chase after him and say

With you daddy, take me with you daddy
Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
Don't you know that's right where I belong

Six weeks shy of twenty-one
Daddy called and said I got some bad news son
Doctor says I ain't got very long and
I ain't told your mama yet

I said, "Daddy I'll be on the next flight home"
That ain't the kind of news you ought to break alone
I didn't break down 'til I hung up the phone
Damn them cigarettes

He put his big old arms around me
the moment I stepped off the plane
He said, "Son you didn't have to come"
All that I could say

With you daddy, take me with you daddy
Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
Don't you know that's right where I belong

Daddy wasn't conscious the last three days of his life
But I stayed there right beside his bed
And I cried like a baby, but I knew he'd be alright
When he smiled and whispered, "Oh my God"
Reached out his hand and said

With you daddy, take me with you daddy
Everywhere you're going to, I just wanna be with you
Right with you daddy, don't leave me daddy
Don't you know that's right where I belong

"Y'all Ready"

"Y'all Ready"



Y'all ready to have a party
Dust off your faded dreams
Ain't no cover and there ain't no dress code
T-shirts and faded jeans
Sometimes you gotta hold on to your baby
It's the only way that you survive
Y'all ready to get a little crazy
Just to prove you're alive

From the coast of Maine down to Mobile Bay
And over to Louisiann
From the Motor City to Santa Fe
And all across the land
From the California girls to the southern belles
In between Hank and Tom Petty
There ain't no stoppin'
Gotta get this thing rockin'
Y'all ready

Y'all ready for a good time
We'll tailgate to start it out
Play your air guitar
You're a bonafide rock star
Dance, and then shout
Sometimes you gotts hold on to your baby
She'll catch you when you fall
Y'all ready now it's go time
Y'all come one, y'all come all

From the coast of Maine down to Mobile Bay
And over to Louisiann
From the Motor City to Santa Fe
And all across the land
From the California girls to the southern belles
In between Hank and Tom Petty
There ain't no stoppin'
Gotta get this thing rockin'
Y'all ready

From the Texas plains up to Frisco Bay
And over to Alabam
From Atlantic City to San Jose
And all across the land
From the California girls to the southern belles
In between Hank and Tom Petty
There ain't no stoppin'
Gotta get this thing rockin'
Y'all ready

Y'all ready

Bring your cousin and the teacher
Tell your sister and the preacher
Y'all ready
Y'all ready

Call the doctor and your nanny
Load the truck and get your granny
Y'all ready
Y'all ready

Y'all ready to have a good time
Dust off your faded dreams
