Yeah, Ya, Yeah
Yeah, Ya, Yeah Oh
Yeah... Hey, alright...
(I) I would dig a hole all the way to China
Unless of course I was there
And I'd dig my way home
If by digging I could steal
The wind from the sails of the greedy men who ruled the world
Still you're my best friend
And after a good, good drunk
You and me wake up and make love
After a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (Yeah)
Dreamgirl
I was feeling like a creep as I watched you asleep
Face down in the gra** in the park in the middle of hot afternoon
Your top was untied and I thought how nice it'd be to follow the sweat down your spine
You're like my best friend
Oh, after a good good drink
You and me wake up and make love
After a deep sleep where I was dreaming
I was dreaming of a
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Dreamgirl (yeah)
Dreamgirl
Caught by a wave my back to the ocean
It knocks me off my feet and
Just as I find my footing
Here you come again!
Dreamgirl, oh
Dreamgirl (mumble man)
The deep end...
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Can't catch me ride my bike down the old dirt hill
First time without my training wheels
First time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
I hear scream and shout out loud of innocence
And days when all we did would never end
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, can't catch me can't catch me
Bring that beat back to me again
Come on take me back, take me there, can't catch me can't catch me
Smoking under the railroad bridge
I used to ride my bike down that old dirt hill
The first time I kissed you I lost my legs
Bring that beat back to me again
I hear scream and shout out loud of innocence
Days when all we did would never end
Screaming down that old dirt hill
Bring that beat back to me again
She stole __
That's when the days I remember seem so far away
That's just a kid. That's what I miss. Just a kid
That's what I miss
Oh take me back, take me back to that beat again
Smoking on the railroad bridge
Bring that beat back to me again
First time all with good, good friends
(Can't catch me, can't catch me)
Bring that beat back to me again
Boys... Get up y'all!
Stand Up!
I woke up to the angels
Singing in my head
You look so good naked next to me
(There's) an angel in my bed
Stand Up!
I feel like a drug is cookin' in my veins
Still I'm so out of my mind
I'll shoot you up again
Stand Up! etc...
Water save my soul
Stand Up!
...
Smell like smoke and fire it's burning in us all
You dropped me in the water
Lift me up save my soul
Stand Up!
American Baby Intro
She said
A hundred times
She said
A thousand times
Everything...
She said a hundred times
She said a thousand times
And oh, she said
If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You lift me up and always will
I see you in life
Hope I don't get left behind
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
I hope you
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby
Nobody's laughing now
But you could always make me laugh out loud
Last night, no way
I was gonna be left hungry
And then your daddy caught me sneakin' out your bed
It's just a game I play
It's just I roll that way
Don't think sweet baby
I'm messing with your head
I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep moving on
(I) don't know why I like to carry on the way I do why
It's just that I'm in love with you
If you see me out there runnin'
And you hear the sheriffs comin'
Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand
If you know they coming for me
And you know they running for me
You know my love won't let them keep me away
I'm a smooth rider baby
You know I just keep moving on
I don't know I like to carry on the way I do
It's just that I'm in love with you (Ahhhh)
If you see me out there running
And you If you hear the sheriffs coming
Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand
If you know their coming for me
And you know they running for me
You know my love won't let them keep me away
I'm a smooth rider baby
Oh, I'm a smooth rider baby
Oh, they out there runnin'...
Everybody wake up
If your living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
Oh baby it's not easy sometimes
They build these walls ever higher and hide behind them
Seems an odd way to try and make things right
Oh I feel like I go crazy sometimes
Our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
The believers stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire
Everybody wake up
If your living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
I Remember the words of the misguided fool
Do unto others as you'd have them do
Not an eye for an eye is the golden rule
Just leaves a room full of blind men
And the finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
Don't believe him leave and stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire
Everybody wake up
....
Everybody wake up
If your living with your eyes closed
See the man with a bomb in his hand
Everybody wake up
Out on my window ledge
I don't feel safe
And I stay
Looking down on you
It's out of my hands for now
It's out of my hands for now
I can't just walk away
Be nice to walk away
But I don't feel safe
Get away, all the way up here
Its out of my hands for now
Its out of my hands for now
Oh it is
Down in from here
And down from here
Start to feel insane
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge
Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all that believe stand behind him and smile
As the day lights up with fire
Let me in
Let me in
I start to feel like I'm crazed
Betrayed
Out on my window ledge
Now our finest hour arrives
See the pig dressed in his finest fine
And all the believers stand behind him and smile
Watch the day's lights up with fire
Looking down from here
It's outta my hands for now
Out on my window ledge
It's outta my hands for now
So let me in
Let me in
Sinnin' I've done my share of this, still I hope the Lord forgive me my sins
Ten years ago down by the lake, I saw my sweet love - her watery grave

Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid that I'd get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do you remember, lose everything
Funny I think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
Saw you there dancin' but I was afraid I might get in the way
I did not think I would see you again
Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Funny the feeling when forever ends
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you there dancin', well I was afraid I might get in the way
Never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
(Been) watchin' the years as they trickle away
It's everything, how time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Steal me away
It's like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What should I say?
See you here standin', and I am afraid I might get in the way
I never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
Do you remember I mean everything?
You steal me away
Like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What can I say?
That's you here standin', well I am afraid I might get in your way
To change the world
Start with one step
However small
The first step is hardest of all
Once you get your gate
You will walk in tall
You said you never did
Cause you might die trying
Cause you might die trying
Cause you---
If you close your eyes
Cause the house is on fire
And think you couldn't move
Until the fire dies
The things you never did
Oh, cause you might die trying
Cause you might die trying
You'd be as good as dead
Cause you might die trying
Cause you might die trying
If you give, you, you begin to live
If you give, you begin to live
You begin, you get the world
If you give, you begin to give
You get the world, you get the world
If you give, you begin to live
You might die trying
Oh, you might die trying
Yeah, you might die trying
The things you never did
Cause you might die trying;
You'd be as good as dead
You never did
I walk half way around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything girl
To be the apple of your eye
Troubles they may come and go
But good times they are the gold
And if this road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Any place you wanna go
Know I'll be next to you
If it's treasure baby you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through
Know troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
So if the road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
When the storm comes
You shelter me
And I don't say a word
And you know exactly what I mean
In the darkest times
You shine on me
You set me free
And keep me steady as we go
So if your heart rings dry my love
I will fill your cup
And if your load gets heavy girl
I will lift you up
Troubles they may come and go
But good times be the gold
So if this road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Ah
Hold me
Shine on me
Oh, shine, shine
Shine on me
Shine, shine
Yeah shine on me
Hey shine
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Here you go, you dirty girl
Good God, try to love try to oh
God's love is alive inside you
You know who needs you
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And then I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
It's hiding to cure you
My aim to love you
You and I such a pretty thing
Smile, smile, you know you thrill me
Cross your heart and hope to die
You know I'd love to
I wanna be your hunger
I wanna see you open wide
And when I go down for you
I wanna blow your mind
You and I oh oh
Shine, shine
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
Oh great light of love
You come like an answered prayer
Praise God, try to love try to oh
