"This Is Me"

"This Is Me"

I opened up the paper, I was all across the page
With another senorita, will I ever act my age
I always hurt the people that care for me, it's true
But I can't help myself, it's just one of those things I do

I ain't no casanova, not like it reads in the book
I'm just trying to find this love thing though it's taking a long hard look
If you need your heart breaking you've come to the right place
Just be aware of the buyer beware sign written on my face

This is me
This is me
What you get is what you see
This is me

I don't want your sympathy
And I can't help what you think of me

Looking for something
Laughing at nothing
Dreaming of what could be

This is me
This is me
What you get is what you see
This is me

One day I will meet my fate, complete my destiny
No pearly gates, no angel mates waiting there for me
Don't ask me the reason why I take it to the wire
I just live it fast, this life's a blast
Sometimes you got to play with fire

Looking for something
Laughing at nothing
Dreaming of what could be

This is me
This is me
What you get is what you see
This is mee

"Throw Her A Line"

"Throw Her A Line"

Throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her a sign, don't make her laugh
Don't try putting it on
Show her the time is here at last
And only the past is in the past
Don't try bringing it on

If it were you, you wouldn't wait so long
And if you were true you wouldn't carry on
On and on

So, throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her a sign, don't make her laugh
Don't try putting it on
Show her the time is here at last
And only the past is in the past
Don't try bringing it on

'Til there was you I was the only one
'Til there was you she didn't carry on
On and on

Oh, throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her a sign, don't make her laugh
Don't try putting it on
Show her the time is here at last
And only the past is in the past
Don't try bringing it on

I hope you don't mind if I just have to say
Just talking up high, it is the only way
Only way

So, throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her the time is here at last
Throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her the time is here at last
Throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her the time is here at last
Throw her a line, she's sinking fast
Show her the time is here at last
Throw her a line

"Tilting At The Mill"

"Tilting At The Mill"

This time it's gonna be the big one
This time they're gonna hit the roof
Tonight we're gonna block the main gates
We got nothing to lose

This time there's gonna be a fireball
This time there's gonna be a flood
Just put your money where your mouth is
Want water or blood

Are we tilting at the mill?
Were we hurting fit to kill?
Sure we're tilting at the mill

Just once we're gonna do the right thing
Just once we're going on a roll
This time I'm working down the dustpipe
Right out in the cold

Are we tilting at the mill?
Were we hurting fit to kill?
Sure we're tilting at the mill
Are we tilting at the mill?
Were we hurting fit to kill?
Sure we're tilting at the mill

"To Be Free"

"To Be Free"

If I find a place to hide
Where I can put those people off my mind
I'm gonna lay my head down hard
And sleep that stops my thoughts from spinning 'round

Help me with my situation, I just wanna be me
I'm living in frustration just to be free, I must be free
I just wanna be left on my own
Leave me to a life that's mine alone

Take my hand, come with me
To a place where we'll be free

Help me with my situation, I just wanna be me
I'm living in frustration just to be free, I must be free
I just wanna be left on my own
Leave me to a life that's mine alone

I just wanna be left on my own
Leave me to a life that's mine alone
I just wanna be left on my own.

"Tobacco Road"

"Tobacco Road"

I was born in a bunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road

I grew up in a dusty shack
And all I had was a'hangin' on my back
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life I've ever known
Only you know how I loathe
Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from above
Save some money, get rich I know
Bring it back to Tobacco Road

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow itup, start all over again
Build a town, be proud to show
Give the name Tobacco Road

Cause it's home
The only life I've ever known
I despise you 'cos your filthy
But I love ya, 'cause it's home

"Tommy"

"Tommy"

Heavens above, his mother would say
My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day
He's out of his mind, suspended in time

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Listen to me, his mother would say
You're young and in love, it won't last that way
You're only a boy, you'll grow up in time

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Tommy's in love, he's always that way
Whatever he does, if only he'd say
He's feeling so fine, she's looking so sweet

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

"Tongue Tied"

"Tongue Tied"

This is the way I feel
I'm feeling tongue tied
This is the way I feel
I'm feeling numb
When you walked by, I knew that I
Would fall in love, love with you

This is the way I feel
It's just like flying
This is the way I feel
I'm all undone
Time rages on
It's come and gone
Time has a way
Plays with us

I'm just dreaming of a time long ago
I'm just dreaming of the past
I've been feeling that there's not long to go
Why does living go so fast?

When I was running wild,
Was in a tailspin
Wishing I was the child
I'd never been
So many times, so many climbs
Where does it go, oh from here?

I'm just dreaming of a time long ago
I'm just dreaming of the past
I've been feeling that there's not long to go
Why does living go so fast?

I'm just dreaming of a time long ago
I'm just dreaming of the past
I've been feeling that there's not long to go
Why does living go so fast?

Why does living go so fast?
Why does living go so fast?

"Too Close To The Ground"

"Too Close To The Ground"

When the light hits your eyes in the morning
And the fight to survive is braking you down
You see a chance for an answer to fill the empty spaces
But you still don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground

When the night closes in like an old friend
And the last of your pills is taking you down
You know the doctor's prescription ain't working like it used to
But you still don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
Still going down

All your life you were waiting
Just to pass up the dream and leave my town
You blew your chance for an answer to fill the empty spaces
Oh, you just don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
Too close to the ground
Still going down

"Too Far Gone"

"Too Far Gone"

You've been looking like a low down liquor drinking money grabber
I don't wanna see you looking this way
It's a crime the way you're carrying on
You'll keep it up till you're too far gone

Yeh yeh, yeh yeh

You took off with a no-good double dealing money maker
It's too bad your head was up in the clouds
It's a shame you didn't get what you want
Don't wait forever, it's too far gone

If you wanna play a bad game, you've got to be a good player
It don't matter if you win or you lose
No one cares if you're right of wrong
You only win when you're too far gone

You said goodbye, you'd never listen
You couldn't be wrong
And now it's over it's not so easy
To say it's all gone

You're running wild living out your fantasy life
And ev'rybody knows the game by the look in your eyes

Too far gone, too far gone
Too far gone, too far gone.....
