More than a Feeling
i looked out this morning and the sun was gone - turned on some music to start my day
i lost myself in a familiar song - i closed my eyes and i slipped away
it's more than a feeling, when i hear that old song they used to play
i begin dreaming til i see Marianne walk away...
i see my Marianne walkin away
so many people have come and gone - their faces fade as the years go by
yet i still recall as i wander on - as clear as the sun in the summer sky
when i'm tired and thinking cold - i hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl i used to know - i closed my eyes and she slipped away...
Peace of Mind
now if you're feelin kinda low bout the dues you've been paying - future's comin much too slow
and you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin - can't decide on which way to go
i understand about indecision - but i don't care if i get behind
people livin in competition - all i want is to have my peace of mind
now you're climbin to the top of the company ladder - hope it doesn't take too long
can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it wont matter - come a day when you'll be gone
i understand about indecision - but i don't care if i get behind
people livin in competition - all i want is to have my peace of mind
take a look ahead...
now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin - doesn't mean too much to me
lots of people out to make-believe theyre livin - can't decide who they should be
i understand about indecision - but i don't care if i get behind
people livin in competition - all i want is to have my peace of mind
take a look ahead...
Foreplay / Long Time
it's been such a long time - i think i should be goin, yeah - and time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin
sail on, on a distant highway - i've got to keep on chasin a dream - i've gotta be on my way
wish there was something i could say
well, i'm takin my time, i'm just movin on - you'll forget about me after i've been gone
and i take what i find, i don't want no more - it's just outside of your front door
it's been such a long time. its been such a long time...
well, i get so lonely when i am without you - but in my mind, deep in my mind, i can't forget about you
good times, and faces that remind me - i'm tryin to forget your name and leave it all behind me
you're comin back to find me
well, i'm takin my time, i'm just movin on - you'll forget about me after i've been gone
and i take what i find, i don't want no more - it's just outside of your front door
it's been such a long time. its been such a long time...
yeah, it's been such a long time - i think i should be goin, yeah - and time dosnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin
there's a long road, i've gotta stay in time with - i've got to keep on chasin that dream, though i may never find it
i'm always just behind it
well, i'm takin my time, i'm just movin along
takin my time, just movin along
takin my time, takin my time...
Rock and Roll Band
well, we were just another band out of Boston, on the road to try to make ends meet
playin all the bars, sleepin in our cars - and we practiced right on out in the street
no, we didnt have much money - we barely made enough to survive
but when we got up on stage and got ready to play, people came alive
rock and roll band - everybodys waitin
gettin crazy - anticipating love and music
play, play, play - yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
dancin in the streets of Hyannis - we were getting pretty good at the game
people stood in line and didn't seem to mind - you know everybody knew our name
livin on rock-n-roll music - never worry bout the things we were missing
when we got up on the stage and got ready to play - everybody'd listen
playin for a week in Rhode Island, a man came to the stage one night
he smoked a big cigar n drove a cadillac car n said, "boys, i think this bands outta-sight
sign a record company contract - you know i've got great expectations
when i hear you on the car radio - you're goin to be a sensation"
Smokin

you gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control
we're gettin down today - we'll pick you up and take you away - get down tonight

we're gettin down today - we'll pick you up and take you away - get down tonight - well, alright
Hitch a Ride
day is night in New York City - smoke, like water, runs inside
steel idle trees to pity - every living things thats died
gonna hitch a ride - head for the other side
leave it all behind - never change my mind
gonna sail away - sun lights another day
freedom on my mind - carry me away for the last time - oh yeah
life is like the coldest winter - people freeze the tears i cry
words of hail their minds are into - i've got to crack this ice and fly
Something About You
when i was younger, thought i could stand on my own
it wasnt easy, i stood like a man made of stone
but there was something about you - i want you to know
it brought a change over me - it's startin to show
i've got this feelin inside - gotta have ya, have ya - ain't no good to hide
it isnt easy - to show what i'm feeling inside, girl
it isnt easy - i know, when you believe in a man like me
when i get angry, i say things i don't wanna say
i really mean it, i don't want to leave you this way
i couldnt help my reaction - i want you to know
i lose control over you - i just wantcha to know
got this feeling inside - gotta have ya, have ya - ain't no good to hide
it isnt easy - to show what i'm feeling inside, girl
it isnt easy - i know, when you believe in a man like me
but there was something about you - i want you to know

but, there was something about
yeah, there was something about you
Don't Look Back
don't look back - a new day is breakin - it's been too long since i felt this way
i don't mind where i get taken - the road is callin - today is the day
i can see - it took so long to realize - i'm much too strong not to comprimise
now i see what i am is holding me down - i'll turn it around
i finally see the dawn arrivin - i see beyond the road i'm drivin - far away and left behind...
it's a new horizon and i'm awakin now - oh, i see myself in a brand new way
the sun is shinin - the clouds are breakin - cuz i can't lose now, theres no game to play
i can tell - there's no more time left to criticize - i've seen what i could not recognize
everthing in my life was leading me on - but i can be strong
i finally see the dawn arrivin - i see beyond the road i'm drivin - far away and left behind...
A Man I'll Never Be
if i said what's on my mind, you'd turn and walk away
disappearing way back in your dreams
it's so hard to be unkind, so easy just to say
that everything is just the way it seems
you look up at me and somewhere in your mind you see a man i'll never be
if only i could find a way, i'd feel like i'm the man you believe i am
and it gets harder every day for me to hide behind this dream you see a man i'll never be
i can't get any stronger, i can't climb any higher
you'll never know just how hard i've tried
cry a little longer, and hold a little tighter
emotions can't be satisfied
Feelin Satisfied
well, come on - all you people - the time has come to get together
you gotta have a little rock n roll music to get you through the stormy weather
and do whatever you feel - when you let go - nothin's gonna help you more than rock n roll
so, come on - put your hands together...

ooh, are you feelin satisfied - come on, let us give your mind a ride
ooh, are you ready tonight - come on, let us give your mind a ride

oh, that funky feelin - is what you need to get you through - you oughta know
i'll tell you somethin - don't let your troubles get to you - cuz win or lose, it's alright
we'll take control - and nothin's gonna help you more than rock n roll
Party
well, you know i don't get off on workin day after day - i wanna have some fun while i'm here
i play the game when it's goin my way - and there's nothin like a party when its kickin into gear

and if you've got somethin for me, i've got somethin for you
