Calloused Hands
03:58
|

Take a number
Stand in line
Join the man with the big ole house
Couldn’t pay in time
I see you cryin’
He’s cryin’ too
You’re not the only one to lose
Ain’t nothing new
And I know you’ve got it bad
So dust your boots off
Show the world those
Calloused hands
Don’t let the new day
Pass you by
The summer wind will dry the tear from your eye
Another mountain
Don’t mean the end
You’ve reached the top before
You’ll find your way again
And I know you’ve got it bad
And it seems like good ain’t never comin’ back
Pull your head out of the sand
Dust your boots off
Show the world those
Calloused hands
Leave the past behind
And chase the morning sun
From dirt to rock to asphalt
You’ve laid the road you run
The road you run
And I know you’ve got it bad
And it seems like good ain’t never comin’ back
So pull your head out of the sand
Dust your boots
Show the world those
Calloused hands

She Goes 18
03:04
|
|||
Every morning she’s an artist
She paints a picture
Responsibility
A magician in the office
Money maker
So much for living the dream
That’s how she makes her way from Monday to Friday
And then she spreads her wings
She puts the roof down, wind blows, rockin’ to the radio
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes 18
She drinks the dirty martinis
Like the cheap wine
We drank as kids
She wears her cherry flavored lipstick
Like she used to
For a teenage twist
Could be the alcohol
That helps her drop her guard
Could be her need to feel more free
She’s gonna dance to her favorite song
Knowing I will play along
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes
I love it when she goes 18
I love it when she goes 18
She goes 18
I love it when she goes
I love it when she goes 18
When she goes 18
I love it when she goes 18

Shameless
03:42
|
|||
I’d like to think that you and I were worth a month or two
Before we fell in someone else’s arms
But your tears were hardly dry
Before you found somebody new
Moving on too fast
Like a ghost in my glass
I look up and there you are
‘Cause you’re shameless
To bring him here tonight
To the same bar where we said goodbye
‘Cause you are shameless
To make me watch you kiss
Wearing that same dress
Baby you are shameless
If you’re trying to make jealous
Then you’re playing me just right
Holding him while looking in my eyes
I’ve never seen you look beautiful and so alive
I want to turn away before my eyes betray
‘Cause you’re shameless
To bring him here tonight
To the same bar where we said goodbye
‘Cause you are shameless
To make me watch you kiss
Wearing that same dress
Baby you are shameless
Choking on the truth
I’m just not over you
‘Cause you’re shameless
To bring him here tonight
To the same bar where we said goodbye
‘Cause you are shameless
To make you watch you kiss
Wearing that same dress
Baby you are shameless
Baby you are shameless
Baby you are shameless
To bring him here tonight
To bring him here tonight
To bring him here tonight

Trouble
03:55
|
|||
I prayed for good times
God sent me fine wine
He taught me to laugh
And sent me to you
I prayed for happiness
He went one better
Threw in the heartbreak that makes our love true
Trouble oh trouble still comes knockin’
Trouble oh trouble won’t stay away
Trouble oh trouble there ain’t no stopping
Trouble oh trouble it’s here to stay
I prayed for good health
He gave me an apple
And a burning desire
To do things my way
I prayed for love
And he gave me a mirror
To see myself smile
When your kiss makes my day
Trouble oh trouble still comes knockin’
Trouble oh trouble won’t stay away
Trouble oh trouble there ain’t no stopping
Trouble oh trouble it’s here to stay
This road is filled with deep holes
No map could ever see
But wouldn’t we give anything to know
That we were trouble free
I asked for a few breaks
But not special treatment
He gave me commitment
To fight through my pain
I prayed for a leg up
He gave me a footstool
And a heaven to reach for
Again and again
Trouble oh trouble still comes knockin’
Trouble oh trouble won’t stay away
Trouble oh trouble ain’t no stopping
Trouble oh trouble it’s here to stay
Trouble oh trouble it’s here to stay

Gonna Be A Good Day
04:24
|
|||
Another date with reality
She’s cold and heartless
And doesn’t take a minute to consider me
She’s always on the take
Very rarely gives a thing
To keep myself from giving in
Takes the biggest bat I can swing
My morning mind still sings
It’s gonna be a good day
Things are gonna go our way
Nothing matters cause we’ve got each other
Everything’s OK
It’s gonna be a good day
Sun is either out or it’s gray
No matter how hard the wind is blowing
I don’t wear it on my face
It’s up to us and it’s gonna be a good day
The concrete jungle
Knocking at my door
Whenever I inch my nose ahead
It keeps knocking me to the floor
We’ll all be dust
Blowing in the breeze
No point in letting anything
Bring your best day to its knees
I’m bruised but still believe
That it’s gonna be a good day
Things are gonna go our way
Nothing matters cause we’ve got each other
Everything’s OK
It’s gonna be a good day
The sun is either out or it’s gray
No matter how hard the wind is blowing
I don’t wear it on my face
It’s up to us and it’s gonna be a good day
Turn on some music
Turn the tide
Turn the key
Take a ride
There's a feast for the taking
Make sure nothing’s left
Cause it’s all about the kind of day you’re having in your head
It’s gonna be a good day
Things are gonna go our way
Nothing matters cause we’ve got each other
Everything’s OK
It’s a good day
It’s a picture to save
No matter how hard the wind is blowing
I don’t wear it on my face
It’s gonna be a good day
Things are gonna go our way
Nothing matters cause we’ve got each other
Everything’s OK
It’s gonna be a good day
The sun is either out or it’s gray
No matter how hard the wind is blowing
I don’t wear it on my face
It’s up to us and it’s gonna be a good day
It’s up to us and it’s gonna be a good day

The Urge of Sleep
04:09
|
|||
Sweet sweet Jesus looking over me
Hopes and dreams and blue skies are all I see
Eyelids getting lower now
Sore is feet and wet is brow
Dug myself a hole that’s way too deep
Find a way to fight the urge of sleep
Lovely lady does look after me
Fuels my fires and destroys my grief
Some say he’ll throw in the towel
Never then, never now
Climbed out of the hole that seemed so deep
Found a way to fight the urge of sleep
A falling star I wish to never be
Bright and shining over earth and sea
Obstacles will mar my sight
Never overcome my fight
Like a drum my heart will strongly beat
Loudly to avoid the urge of sleep

Broken Wheel
04:32
|
|||
I’m like a broken wheel
Off a random car
Just rolling along
I never get very far
Others pass me by
Don’t pay me any mind
I keep moving ahead
Till I run out of time
I’m like a lonely bird
That still likes to sing
Sits high in a tree
It spreads its wings
No other voices join
The solo melody
It’s the sound of a soul
That’s truly free
I let the rat race pass me by
No point in putting up a fight
I won’t let worries steal my laughter
I gotta keep this dream alive
Climb as far as I can climb
I won’t live my days any faster
Cause in the end it doesn’t matter
We all fall off the ladder
I’m like a memory
Your mind can barely see
A small reminder of
How things used to be
But the future demands
That you give all you can
And heart strings tie themselves
To ghosts that we leave
I let the rat race pass me by
No point in putting up a fight
I won’t let worries steal my laughter
I gotta keep this dream alive
Climb as far as I can climb
I won’t live my days any faster
Cause in the end it doesn’t matter
We all fall off the ladder
I let the rat race pass me by
No point in putting up a fight
I won’t let worries steal my laughter
Gotta keep this dream alive
Climb as far as I can climb
Won’t live my days any faster
Cause in the end it doesn’t matter
We all fall off the ladder
We’re all broken wheels
Off of random cars
Just rolling along
We rarely get very far

We Shared Time
04:36
|
|||
We chased after the sunshine
As we danced around this place
The clock hands moved as quickly
So much done in haste
Though the hours still blew by
They did not go to waste
We served up life on a platter
And savored the taste
We broke bread
We drank wine
Pondered our truth
Confessed to our lies
Ran to our dreams
Waited in line
Oh what a blessing when we shared time
Many questions unanswered
Leaving us but to guess
What is luck and who is lucky
How happy the hearts in our chest
What’s too young to know what is love is
What age do you know yourself best
To sleep is a waste of good time
Each day the best of the rest
We broke bread
We drank wine
Pondered our truth
Confessed to our lies
Ran to our dreams
Waited in line
Oh what a blessing when we shared time
There is cause for celebration
I say you were a gift
And the memories go racing
Like wind they uplift
And the earth stays in orbit
Round the sun it still swings
And the clouds still floating forward
In my mind you still sing
We broke bread
We drank wine
Pondered our truth
Confessed to our lies
Ran to our dreams
Waited in line
Oh what a blessing when we shared time
Oh what a blessing when we shared time

Over The Moon
03:57
|

Jenny was a waitress down on 48th
New York was rough but she decided to stay
She was a southern lass and knew to dream big and she did
She was an actress and a dancer at heart
A million auditions
Only one little part
Still she believed one day
That she’d be a star
Yes she did
Oh she did
She jumped over the moon
Fly pass the sun
Grab her a star
Off she would run
See her name in lights
Big neon sign
Over the moon
She would reside
That girl would shine
So bright
Frustrated was the way she spent most of her days
Between shifts she would stand between lines
Always hurried to wait
And it was all that she could do
Just to keep her head up but she did
The call came
Like it always does
Just when she was about to give up
The lead part
In the biggest of shows
Here she goes
She jumped over the moon
Fly pass the sun
Grab her a star
Off she would run
See her name in lights
Big neon sign
Over the moon
She would reside
That girl would shine
So bright
She jumped over the moon
Fly pass the sun
Grab her a star
Off she would run
See her name in lights
Big broadway sign
Over the moon
She would reside
She jumped over the moon
Fly pass the sun
Grab her a star
Off she would run
See her name in lights
Big neon sign
Over the moon
She would reside
That girl would shine
That girl would shine
So bright
So bright

Dream Vacation
Eddie Bush
I found my place
End of the line
I found a watch
Ran out of time
I got a job
Then lost my mind
I found the sun
But then came the night
I say no to life on the run
The time has come
Let’s take a dream vacation
So much work to be done
Let’s have some fun
Let’s take a dream vacation
Early to leave
I hit the lights
I want some peace
But they want to fight
I finally get loose
But money gets tight
You say I‘m wrong
When once I am right
I say no to life on the run
The time has come
Let’s take a dream vacation
So much work to be done
Let’s have some fun
Let’s take a dream vacation
No to life on the run
The time has come
Let’s take a dream vacation
So much work to be done
Let’s have some fun
Let’s take a dream vacation
My friends are drunk
I don’t really drink
My girl is smart
I don’t like to think
She likes to dance
But I can’t stay on beat
What’s worse than that
My two left feet
I say no to life on the run
The time has come
Let’s take a dream vacation
So much work to be done
Let’s have some fun
Let’s take a dream vacation
I say no to life on the run
The time has come
Let’s take a dream vacation
So much work to be done
Let’s have some fun
Let’s take a dream vacation

When I Grow Up
04:04
|
|||
I might be pushing middle age
But I still think like a teen
In my hair could be a hint of gray
But deep down I’m dark and lean
But don’t pull out the walker just yet
‘Cause I can still dance all night
One day I’ll buy a rocking chair just because it rocks just right
When I grow up, I’ll be on time
But drive slow enough to see the sights
When I grow up, I’ll rise and shine
But know better than to party all night
When I grow up, I’ll travel light
Get around this globe in style
I’ll do that stuff, when I grow up
It’s true that I’m hard of hearing
I like my rock and roll loud
If it seems like I’m a little distracted
It’s my attention deficit cloud
Sometimes I’m a little impatient
For a real vacation to start
Running hard on an hour of sleep is becoming a lost art
When I grow up, I’ll be on time
But drive slow enough to see the sights
When I grow up, I’ll rise and shine
But know better than to party all night
When I grow up, I’ll travel light
Get around this globe in style
I’ll do that stuff, when I grow up
I’ll do that stuff, when I grow up
All my mirrors pointing towards wrinkles under eyes
I don’t know another way but I refuse to hide
When I grow up, I’ll be on time
But drive slow enough to see the sights
When I grow up, I’ll rise and shine
Instead of stay late and party all night
When I grow up, I’ll travel light
Go around this globe in style
I’ll do that stuff, when I grow up
I’ll do that stuff, when I grow up
Yeah when I grow up
When I grow up

Still In The Wind
04:00
|
|||
I had plenty of doubters
Saying I’d never add up to much
And too many challenges
To worry when the words got rough
Didn’t make no excuses
Just pushed harder when the days got bad
Never lost the hunger
Success was the best feast I ever had
Turn up the volume
All the way up to ten
As of this moment
I’m still in the wind
Rev up the engines
I’m back on the ride again
As of this moment
I’m still in the wind
Time has always been the enemy
This clock is running marathons
Age might be reality
Take a look here I’m running along
Never had an ounce of quit in me
Though my mystery remains unsolved
Digging for a treasure
I found the wealth in my resolve
So turn up the volume
All the way up to ten
As of this moment
I’m still in the wind
Rev up the engines
I’m back on the ride again
As of this moment
I’m still in the wind
Blowing through my hair
I lost myself in the moment
I didn’t care
Turn up the volume
All the way up to ten
As of this moment
I’m still in the wind
Rev up the engines
I’m back on the ride again
As of this moment
I’m still in the wind
I’m still in the wind
I’m still in the wind

Life In The City
04:11
|

Fancy Charlie’s dancing in rags
With expensive Italian shoes
A street singer starts to smile
While she sings the Blues
Preacher calls out “you gotta believe in something, or nothing’s true”
Cause there’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
There’s life in the city after all
I walked out of the graveyard
Into the delta sun
Vampires singing harmony
To some French sailor’s song
They’ve been here for hundreds of years
So they must know something
Cause there’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
There’s life in the city after all
I’ll see the school children laughing again
Painting the school bus
Yellow as the sun goes down
To the water and sparkles like my lover’s smile
Like my lover’s smile
There’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer
There’s life in the city after all
I think I’ll stay a little longer

When This Month Is Over
Eddie Bush
When this month is over
Lord send me one good day
To catch my world and slowly turn
Before it rolls away
And I’ll stop along my path within
To find the reddest rose
Its thorns cut like this broken heart
And beauty still grows
When this month is over
Turn the calendar’s page
Its date reads as an empty box
A number with no face
And in that space where time runs free
There’ll be no me with you
And that’s where my challenge lies
Facing the truth
When this month is over
Your voice will still be heard
In a quiet thought or a silent room
Though you didn’t speak a word
It was you in fact who lifted me
To see life and embrace
Between night’s moon and morning’s sun
Are tears I live to chase
