You've got yourself a guitar, but you can't sing or play Thinking to yourself man there has got to be an easier way You've played for months you've played for years but still no avail Starting to think it might be time to make A deal with the devil You made a deal with the devil You made a deal with the devil Headed down to the crossroads to meet a man at night He'll be all dressed in black but you don't look him in the eye You hand him your guitar and he'll tune it right for you Take a swig from his flask and now you're singing in every tune You made a deal with the devil You made a deal with the devil Now you're getting older son and you just wanna live But you sold your soul to the devil and he takes what is his You've only got about ten years or so You better go on get out get on the road You made a deal with the devil You made a deal with the devil Headed down to the crossroads to meet a man at night He'll be all dressed in black but you don't look him in the eye You hand him your guitar and hell tune it right for you Take a swig from his flask and now your singing in every tune You made a deal with the devil You made a deal with the devil Now you're getting older son and you just wanna live But you sold your soul to the devil and he takes what is his Don't try to run don't try to hide he's not a mortal man Armed to the teeth I know you'll try and make one last stand To save your soul from the devil You sold your soul to the devil Headed down to the crossroads with a man at your side Well he's all dressed in black but you don't dare look him in the eye Cause he's got your guitar that he tuned right for you This time he'll take your soul and there's nothing that you can do You made a deal with the devil You made a deal with the devil

Where have all your friends gone Why don't they need you now Broken down and defeated You must protect this town Dust off the rubble Retie your boots The city is burning None left to lose It's not that super being a superhero It's not like the movies and its nothing like the tv show its not that super being a superhero Sometimes you win, but most of the times you won't No one to relate to How can you truly love Someone whose not immortal They'll die soon enough You can't save them But you'll still try As long as you can breath You'll keep them alive It's not that super being a superhero It's not like the movies and its nothing like the tv show It's not that super being a superhero Sometimes you win Sometimes you don't Sometimes you fall Sometimes you float The city will burn and it will rebuild They'll cast you out to live in your own filth It's not that super being a superhero It's not like the movies and it's nothing like the tv show It's not that super being a superhero Sometimes you win, but most of the times you won't Sometimes you win, but most of the times you don't

Moving On 04:33
You broke my heart when you left me We broke apart when you moved Tennessee I came down to see you whenever I had the chance But distance made you weak and you gave up on romance Baby please come down from your high horse Cause my voice is growing coarse from yelling at the top of my lungs I know I barely made the grade I gave you all of me and you threw it all away I know I barely made the call You held my heart in your hands and you let it fall Baby please come down from your high horse Cause my voice is growing coarse from yelling at the top of my lungs We've had our troubles in the past But how long do you think those troubles of ours will last I lie awake at night just staring at the phone When I know damn well that you've moved on Baby please come down from your high horse Cause my voice is growing coarse from yelling at the top of my lungs

Westward Ho 04:40
Well I hear there's money To be made out west I've packed by bags And double checked my list One check for shoes the other for some gold Well I'm just a vagrant now A passerby I made a stop in a town Cause I was short on supply Well the shop owner had a few words to say to me He said If you're headed out west son The wells run dry and the gold is gone And if you plan on sticking around For long For long Well I hope you're pretty good with a gun Well in this small town There's one saloon The sun hangs the highest When it's ten paces past noon Well all the good girls and boys know what to do I was on my way When I heard a shout Two men tumbled out the bar Another man yelled look out He's another one of them gold chasing fools He said If you're headed out west son The wells run dry and the gold is gone And if you plan on sticking around For long For long Well I hope you're pretty good with a gun Well three months later I made it to the coast No money in my pocket But I'm standing on gold I killed for this land Blood on my hands I guess they found out I'm pretty good with a gun But now I'm on the run I follow the morning sun Got gold and moved on So I guess this is so long Oh and if you're headed out west son The wells run dry and I'm long gone I made my fortune with a loaded gun And escaped with the setting sun

Hey little baby won't you come with me I'll show you a good time I'll take you all around the town You won't spend a single dime Hey little baby won't you come with me I will spark your interests I'll tell you everything that you need to hear You can rest your head upon my chest Woah, yeah Hey little baby won't you come with me I'll show you a good time I'll take you all around the world If you're not afraid to fly Hey little baby won't you come with me Introduce you to my family They'll tell you everything that you need to hear Wipe your eyes of those tears Woah, yeah Hey little baby won't you marry me We'll just live the good life I'll be honest and true faithful to you If you let me call you my wife Hey little baby we can settle down Have some kids together They'll have your eyes and pretty smiles What could be better Woah, yeah Baby once we settle down and are finally able to breath We can sit on the front porch listen to rain drops You and I will sing, we'll sing Woah, yeah All this could be possible, but we may never know Unless I get the courage to say hello

Hello you how was your day Mine was just fine I took a walk down by the water To watch the ships go by I laid down in the sand As the tied rolled on in The sunset washed over me As I began to Drift and float away Off into a new yesterday I'll float out to sea Let the tide wash over me See what I can and do what I must Live long or die young, but never give up Laugh while I can cause when the weather gets rough I'll find another way and never give up The storm is falling down on me I'm just floating comfortably The storm is falling down on me I will taken by the sea If I wash ashore I'll be tattered and battered If I was ashore I'll be broken and bruised As I drift and float away Off into a new yesterday I'll float out to sea Let the tide wash over me See what I can and do what I must Live long or die young, but never give up Laugh while I can cause when the weather gets rough I'll find another way and never give up

Luke 23 04:26
The sun was hot my harvest thin Food for my family drove me in People filled the streets all standing still Say three poor men marching towards the hill Well I'm just a farm boy what do you ask of me Forced from the line to help this man get off his knees Well I'm just a farm boy what do you ask of me When falling three times is three too many Made our way to the top of the hill I saw something in this man He forgave all as he passed by all of them condemn What could this man have done to be treated so horribly I'll lend a helping hand that's what he'd do for me Well I'm just a farm boy what do you ask of me Forced from the line to help this man get off his knees Well I'm just a farm boy what do you ask of me When falling three times is three too many I watched your life be taken away I watched your life be taken away I watched your life be taken away And still you say Father forgive they know not what they do You say Father forgive they know not what they do You say Father forgive they know not what they do Well I'm just a farm boy what do you ask of me Forced from the line to help this man get off his knees Well I'm just a farm boy what do you ask of me When falling three times is three too many

You tied the knot in Indiana Before the storm just minutes away And I didn't have it in me to tell you They say rain is good on a wedding day Oh am I the one who's really gone Now that you're out living under the sun Oh am I the one who's truly alone You moved out west and made it your home Now you're living out in cali-forn-i-a Vacationing for real in sweet Palm Springs I'll call you when I have the chance to I've always enjoyed your company Oh am I the one who's really gone Now that you're out living under the sun Oh am I the one who's truly alone You moved out west and made it your home Oh am I the one who's truly lost I've dotted my eyes and my fingers are crossed Oh am I the one who's truly afraid I'll close my eyes and picture you in the shade So enjoy your time out in California I hope you're doing fine out there Maybe someday Mike and I will join you For some of that sweet California air Oh am I the one who's really gone Now that you're out living under the sun Oh am I the one who's truly alone You moved out west and made it your home

Why Can't I 04:22
All the people that I know are locked inside themselves I can't help them all for I am just myself So many of my friends are down and out these days Caged in and captured by the limits that they made And I wonder Why's the sun follow me around When you get chased down by darkened clouds Why are colors so damn bright When all you see is black and white Why is everything easy for me When you get stressed out by the simplest things Why does sleep come so naturally When you lay down at night and you just can't dream Why can't I Why can't I Help you dream Why can't I Why can't I When everything around you is crumbling down I'll find the silver line in this old broken town When everything's a bummer and you hate the life you live I'll take a deep breath and feel the warmth upon my skin And wonder Why's the sun follow me around When you get chased down by darkened clouds Why are colors so damn bright When all you see is black and white Why is everything easy for me When you get stressed out by the simplest things Why does sleep come so naturally When you lay down at night and you just can't dream Why can't I Why can't I Help you dream Why can't I Why can't I Sometimes you pick yourself up dust yourself off Only to be taken down again I'll be close by to be helpful if you ever need a helping hand I don't know what it is like to be living in your shoes When I see a rain cloud in the distance all I can do is think of Why's the sun follow me around When you get chased own by darkened clouds Why are colors so damn bright When all you see is black and white Why is everything easy for me When you get stressed out by the simplest things Why does sleep come so naturally When you lay down at night and you just can't dream

Sometimes life can get you down in the dumps Find out how to turn things around and get up A glimmer of light a glimmer of hope oh it shines In the darkest corners in the darkest times It makes me wonder It makes me think That life's a whole lot easier than we make it out to be It makes me wonder It makes me think That there's so much more worth fighting for than I can perceive Why can't we just keep things simple Why can't we just keep things simple Why can't we just be uncomplicated A river only flows one way to the ocean Just gotta go with the flow my emotion Sure there's signs of trouble ahead don't be scared We'll start to worry when we get there It makes me wonder It makes me think That life's a whole lot easier than we make it out to be It makes me wonder It makes me think That there's so much more worth fighting for than I can perceive Why can't we just keep things simple Why can't we just keep things simple Why can't we just be uncomplicated

Get Over It 03:48
Hey what're you still doing in bed It's twelve o'clock and you're well rested Hey what are you still doing here Don't you dare waste another year Don't you dare waste another year Why don't you open your mind and stop living with your heart You've been falling in love, but maybe you've fallen too far Why don't you open your eyes and start looking around You can't see where you're going if you're always looking down The day is yours for the taking You better take all of it When the sun goes down you lie awake at night Trapped in your sleeplessness Trapped in your sleeplessness Why don't you open your mind and stop living with your heart You've been falling in love, but maybe you've fallen too far Why don't you open your eyes and start looking around You can't see where you're going if you're always looking down I know your life's been rearranged You've lost sight of the simple things You think that it's all gone to shit You've gotta get up and get over it You've gotta get up and get over it Why don't you open your mind and stop living with your heart You've been falling in love, but maybe you've fallen too far Why don't you open your eyes and start looking around You can't see where you're going if you're always looking down Always looking down

Callus on my fingertips Working hard for petty tips I'm not a man made to be still I've got holes in the soles of my leather shoes I gave it all I've got nothing to lose You can break my bones but won't break will I will keep on walking and singing my songs One step at a time and moving along Living life to the rhythm and words you won't go wrong Live your life song Wherever the road may lead me I'll smile at the people that see me Say hello to the friends I haven't made yet I'll keep courage and kindness close to my heart Carry the burden on this guitar Won't wait on wishes and I won't forget I bet I'll keep on walking and singing my songs One step at a time and moving along Living life to the rhythm and words you won't go wrong Live your life song
