Dave Matthews Band - Stand Up lyrics

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 I closed my eyes still see her face, I'd give my soul take back that day Hello again Its been too long Too long Too long Hello again You know you got what it is I want Anyway I'm gonna take it from you Hello you know you got what it is I want anyway I know I'm gonna take it from you Hello Hello You know Hello again ??

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?
