How Far Would You Go

She was deadhead bound for Arizona
The days are longer and the nights are warmer
Don’t lose that girl
She was staying with a friend of her sister
A college kid, boy, I sure do miss her
Don’t lose that girl
Lose that girl
How far would you go to see her smile
Would you drive a million miles
How far would you go
Not a thing in this world could stop you now
Every part of you wants to show her how
How far would you go
I said should I come out before the summer
It took a while to get an answer from her
Don’t lose that girl
Well she got real still a bit too quiet
Told me not to worry but I did not buy it
Don’t lose that girl
I can’t lose that girl
How far would you go to see her smile
Would you drive a million miles
How far would you go
Not a thing in this world could stop you now
Every part of you wants to show her how
How far would you go
Nothing could prepare me
For what happened right behind me
I could not see, as I looked the other way
It’s a lonely night in the Painted Desert
Don’t wanna cry but I’m kind of wasted
Don’t lose that girl, can’t lose that girl

Broken Toy
03:50
|

|
The words are on the tip of my tongue
And I’m tripping over everything that’s happened so far
So getting my footing when my balance is off
Is like a man on a tightrope in a wind-tunnel dream
I think I thought that something would change
When I saw you watch me walking up to you by the wall
Considering how long it had been until then
It was a moment frozen solid never mind what it seemed
And I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
‘cause when you played with my heart I became a real boy
And once you get used to the pain you can’t turn back
No I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
The way you threw me away made me more paranoid
I guess it’s better for you to buy new than repair the cracks
Because of you I’m where I am now
At the bottom of the list of things you wanted to do
Apparently you had it with your little game
So you just crossed me off as if I were an errand you ran
I gave it up it’s all I could do
I’ve been chasing after nothing for as long as I could
Replacing me only for no reason to find
Somebody’s gotta have something more to dispose in the can
And I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
‘cause when you played with my heart I became a real boy
And once you get used to the pain you can’t turn back
No I can’t stop feeling like a broken toy
The way you threw me away made me more paranoid
I guess it’s better for you to buy new than repair the cracks

Me and Fate
02:49
|

|
Well, me and fate go back a ways
Through thick and thin and better days
Decisions made together
Now we’re two birds of a feather
Me and fate
Well, fate and I have always been
More like each other’s next of kin
We never said ‘forever’
But it all turns out ‘however’
Me and fate
Myself and fate may disagree
But what choice do we have ...it’s destiny
We try to change the weather
Says who? ...for worse or better
Me and fate

Count On You
04:01

When I left L.A.
I had so much on my mind
I didn’t come this far
Just to be left behind
And now I’m on a plane
With my head in the clouds
Watching the day go by
Town by Town
In a world gone crazy where there seems no end
I’m glad your’re with me til the bitter end
I can count on you
To fix the way I’m feeling
I can count on you
Baby, I can count on you
When everything’s uneven
I can count on you
It’s a wistful wind
That’s keeping you on my mind
In a town gone wrong
Time after Time
When everybody else has let me down
I know that you will always be around
I can count on you
To fix the way I’m feeling
I can count on you
Baby, I can count on you
When everything’s uneven
I can count on you
Bridge:
Trust me darlin’ I’m not looking for a fight
Now I surrender let me lay down by your side
When everybody has just let me down
I know that you will always around
I can count on you
I can count on you
Yeah, you can count on me too
I can count on you
In the quiet of the evening
I can count on you
I can count on you
To give me something to believe in

Traveling From Home
04:11
|
|||
|
I have traveled those little dirt paths that are now paved in white
Concrete highways once trails that lead down up the left to the right
All that coming and going and everyone gets where they are
Though they started from nowhere these roads can take anyone far
And how far that may be now depends on the reach of the mind
As opposed to the physical limits imposed back in time
We are bridging the gap between thinking and doing
We can travel from home all the while barely moving
And what used to take several angles became a straight line
The world at our fingertips beckons us all to explore
But upon our arrival we ask is there anything more
You could count your best friends on the hands you were given
But now, in the digital age that we live in
We number them millions and never walk out the front door
And together we’re alone
We’re traveling from home
Where there used to be wires connecting the dots on the map
Things have changed at the moment we talk to a screen on our lap
And to visit each other is not as unusual
Everyone’s hooked up to audiovisual
We beam live via satellite Portland to Cumberland Gap
The world at our fingertips beckons us all to explore
But upon our arrival we ask is there anything more
You could count your best friends on the hands you were given
But now, in the digital age that we live in
We number them millions and never walk out the front door
And together we’re alone
We’re traveling from home

Come to Californ-i-yay

One week ago today I hit the highway
Headin’ for L.A. yeah, hey
I swore I’d never go for just a month or so
Turns out this time it had to change
All my west coast friends told me
That I was crazy that I didn’t do this all along
They said…
Come to California
Come to Californ-I-Yay
It’s not like I wasn’t sure
The choice was so pure
As a mixture of love and hate
Emotion verses steel
Trash my heart and seal the deal
It’s either so and so or great
All my west coast friends told me
That I was crazy that I didn’t do this all along
They said…
Come to California
Come to Californ-I-Yay
Bridge
From Thousand Oaks to the Larchmont Quarter
We’re making music underneath the sun
And everything is new
Everything’s brand new
Ten years ago today
I hit the highway headin’ for L.A. yeah, hey
Come to California
Come to Californ-I-Yay

What’s the saddest that you’ve ever been
What’s the hardest you have cried
Add them together, multiplied by ten
That’s how I feel tonight
Losing you is such a bitter pill
That’s a lifetime guarantee
Walking through a thousand sleepless nights
That’s what you’ve done to me
Oh I, I wanna make you hurt right now
I want you to feel the pain
If I could make you hurt somehow
Maybe you’d never hurt no one again
Standing out there where the shadows start
Greys and whites and black and blues
All because one faithless heart
Could never be so true
Oh I, I wanna make you hurt right now
I want you to feel the pain
If I could make you hurt somehow
Maybe you’d never hurt no one again
Bridge
Now they tell me that it’s gonna pass
That I will be ok
It just takes time they say
But how can I go on if it’s never gonna be with you
Oh I, I wanna make you hurt right now
I want you to feel the pain
If I could make you hurt somehow
Maybe you’d never hurt no one again

Off of the Edge
04:31
|

|
Underneath the light
Feeling like the only one
Waiting for a chance to run
You’re guilty as a smokin’ gun
You get right out of here
Just as fast as you can go
‘cause something is about to blow
Something no one else can know
You’ve got wings to lift you up above the rain
But you fly into the storm only to crash dive again
What if there’s a chance
Waiting just behind the door
What if there is nothing more
You would never know for sure
Whichever one you choose
Know that I’ll be by your side
To hold you til the fear subsides
To wipe away the tears you cry
Now, you can leave here anytime
My baby, just make up your mind
You’ve got wings to lift you up above the rain
But you fly into the storm only to crash dive again
You’ve got dreams that one day you will leave this town
And you’ll sail off of the edge knowing that the world is round
Knowing the world is round
bridge
If you’re not tempting fate
I guess there’s nothing left here to be learned
I don’t think it’s too late
To pick yourself back up and take a turn

You'd Think I'd Know
03:33

From the center of this hurricane
Whether flying air or driving rain
All I care about is seeing you again
Told my mamma life was so unfair
She said ‘listen, son, we’ve all been there’
As I turned around and climbed aboard the plane
You’d think I’d know... I’d know by now
Exactly where I stand
Where every word I thought I’d carved in stone
Were lines drawn in the she sand
Now I think of all the time gone by
Memories welling up behind my eyes
Of every beautiful occasion in our lives
You’d think I’d know... I’d know by now
Exactly where I stand
Where every word I thought I’d carved in stone
Were lines drawn in the sand
So I tell myself it’s just for now
In the future things will change somehow
I’m still waiting for that moment to arrive

On My Own
05:53

I’m ok now
I’m just tryin’ hard to be
A man who walks away now
Who can turn the other cheek
Its been so long now
It was hard to let it go
I didn’t mean to push you honey
Seems that way it always goes
And you don’t run
You don’t run
Baby, you don’t run from me
I’m alright now
Guess I’ve learned a couple things
When all your hopes seem tattered
You don’t keep pullin’ at the strings
Lies and loose ends
Make it hard to disagree
I’m the one who’s guilty
But you’re still standing here with me
And you don’t run
You don’t run
Baby, you don’t run from me
So when I lose my way
You always point me in the right direction
And when I feel afraid
I think about you and I’m not alone
Now I know that times are hard
But they’d be even harder here without you
On my own
I’m ok now
I’m just tryin’ not to be
The man who walks away now
Who doesn’t turn the other cheek
And I won’t run
I won’t run
Baby, I won’t run from you
