Breakdown
it's all right if you love me
it's all right if you don't
i'm not afraid of you running away
honey, i get the feeling you won't
there is no sense in pretending
your eyes give you away
something inside you is feeling like i do
we've said all there is to say
baby
breakdown - go ahead and give it to me
breakdown - honey take me through the night
breakdown - now i'm standin here, can't you see
breakdown - it's all right...

American Girl
well she was an American girl - raised on promises
she couldn't help thinkin - that there was a little more to life somewhere else
after all it was a great big world - with lots of places to run to
and if she had to die tryin - she had one little promise she was gonna keep
oh, yeah - alright
take it easy, baby
make it last all night
she was an American girl
well it was kinda cold that night - she stood alone on her balcony
yeah, she could hear the cars roll by - out on 441 like waves crashin on the beach
and for one desperate moment, there - he crept back in her memory
god, it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far out of reach

I Need to Know
well, the talk on the street says you might go solo
a good friend of mine saw you leavin by your back door
i need to know, i need to know
if you think you're gonna leave, then you better say so
i need to know, I need to know
cuz i don't know how long i can hold on
if you're makin me wait, if you're leadin me on
i need to know
who would've thought that you'd fall for his line
all of a sudden, it's me on the outside
i need to know...

Listen to Her Heart
you think you're gonna take her away - with your money and your cocaine
keep thinkin that her mind is gonna change - but i know everything is okay
she's gonna listen to her heart - it's gonna tell her what to do
she might need a lot of lovin, but she don't need you
you want me to think that i'm being used - you want her to think it's over
can't you see it don't matter what you do - buddy, you don't even know her
and you just can't creep up behind her
and you can't understand that she's my girl...

Refugee
we got somethin, we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
yeah it ain't no real big secret, but somehow, we get around it
it don't really matter to me, baby
you believe what you want to believe
you don't have to live like a refugee...
somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
tell me why you wanna lay there and revel in your abandon
it don't make no difference to me, baby
everybody's had to fight to be free,
see, you don't have to live like a refugee
baby, we ain't the first - i'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
right now this seems real to you - but it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true
somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
who knows, maybe you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away, and held for ransom
honey - it don't really matter to me, baby
everybody's had to fight to be free
see, you don't have to live like a refugee

Here Comes My Girl
you know sometimes, i don't know why
but this old town seems so hopeless
yeah, i ain't really sure, but it seems i remember
the good times were just a little bit more in focus
but when she puts her arms around me
i can somehow rise above it
yeah, man when i got that little girl standin right by my side
you know, i can tell the whole wide world to shove it, hey
here comes my girl...
yeah, and she looks so right
she is all i need tonight
every now and then i down to the end of the day
and i have to stop and ask myself why i've done it
it just seems so useless to have to work so hard
and nothin' ever really seems to come from it
but then she looks me in the eye
and says, "we're gonna last forever"
and man, you know i can't begin to doubt it
no, cux it just feels so good and so free and so right
i know we ain't never goin' to change our minds about it - hey
watch her walk
every time it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more
i find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something
yeah, i just catch myself waiting, wondering, worrying
about some silly little things that don't add up to nothin
Even the Losers
it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
i showed you stars you never could see
it couldn't been that easy to forget about me
time meant nothing, anything seemed real
yeah, you kissed like fire and you made me feel
like every word you said was meant to be
it couldn't been that easy to forget about me
baby, even the losers - get lucky sometimes
baby, even the losers - keep a little bit of pride, they get lucky sometimes.
two cars park on the overpass
rocks hit the water like broken glass
i shoulda known right then it was too good to last
god, it's such a drag to have to live in the past
The Waiting
oh, baby - don't it feel like heaven right now
don't it feel like something from a dream
yeah, i've never known nothing quite like this
don't it feel like tonight might never be again
we know better than to try and pretend
baby, no one coulda ever told me bout this
i said yeah, yeah
the waiting is the hardest part
every day you see one more card
you take it on faith, you take it to the heart
the waiting is the hardest part
well yeah i might have chased a couple women around
all it ever got me was down
then there were those that made me feel good
but never as good as i'm feeling right now
baby, you're the only one that's ever known how
to make me wanna live like i wanna live now
i said yeah, yeah
the waiting is the hardest part
every day you get one more yard
you take it on faith, you take it to the heart
the waiting is the hardest part
oh - don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you...
i'll be your bleedin' heart, i'll be your cryin' fool
don't let this go too far - don't let it get to you
You Got Lucky
you better watch what you say
you better watch what you do to me
don't get carried away
girl, if you can do better than me, go
yeah, go
but remember
good love is hard to find...
you got lucky, babe...
when i found you
you put a hand on my cheek
and then you turn your eyes away
if you don't feel complete
if i don't take you all of the way, go
Rebels
honey, don't walk out - i'm too drunk to follow
you know you won't feel this way tomorrow
well, maybe a little rough around the edges - or inside a little hollow
i get faced with some things, sometimes, that are so hard to swallow
hey - i was born a rebel, down in dixie on a sunday mornin
one foot in the grave n one foot on the pedal - i was born a rebel
she picked me up in the mornin, n she paid all my tickets
then she screamed in the car left me out in the thicket
well i never woulda dreamed that her heart was so wicked
yeah but i keep comin' back cuz it's so hard to kick it
even before my father's father, they called us all rebels
while they burned our cornfields n left our cities leveled
i can still feel the eyes of those blue-bellied devils
yeah, when i'm walking round at night through the concrete and metal
Don't Come Around Here No More
don't come around here no more
don't come around here no more
whatever you're looking for
hey, don't come around here no more
i've given up...
i've given up on waiting any longer
i've given up on this love getting stronger
i don't feel you anymore
you darken my door
whatever you're looking for
hey, don't come around here no more
i've given up...
i've given up, you tangle my emotions
i've given up, honey please admit it's over
stop walking down my street
who do you expect to meet ?
whatever you're looking for
hey, don't come around here no more
Free Fallin
she's a good girl - loves her mama
loves jesus and america too
she's a good girl - crazy bout elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too
it's a long day livin' in reseda
there's a freeway runnin through the yard
i'm a bad boy, cuz i don't even miss her
i'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
and i'm free - free fallin...
all the vampires walkin through the valley
move west down ventura blvd
all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
all the good girls are home with broken hearts
and i'm free - free fallin...
i wanna glide down over mulholland
i wanna write her name in the sky
i wanna free fall out into nothin
gonna leave this world for awhile
I Won't Back Down
Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
you could stand me up at the gates of hell
but I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
and I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
Chorus
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
in a world that keeps on pushin' me around
but I'll stand my ground and I won't back down
Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
hey I will stand my ground
and I won't back down
No, I won't back down
Runnin' Down a Dream
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'
Chorus
Yeah runnin' down a dream
that never would come to me
workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
runnin' down a dream
I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
the last three days the rain was un-stoppable
it was always cold, no sunshine
(Repeat Chorus)
I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
there's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
Learning to Fly
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
I'm learning to fly, around the clouds,
But what goes up must come down
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Into the Great Wide Open
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the chart
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Mary Jane's Last Dance
She grew up in a Indiana town,
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen,
She blew the boys away; was more than they'd seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin' - on.
Keep movin' on."
Chorus
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.
Well I don't know but I've been told, you never slow down, you never grow old.
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down,
Tired of myself, tired of this town,
Oh my, my, oh hell yes - Honey put on that party dress.
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come . cause I can't stay long.
(Repeat Chorus)
There's pigeons down on Market Square,
She's standing in her underwear.
Lookin' down from a hotel room,
Nightfall will be coming soon.
Oh my, my, oh hell yes, you got to put on that party dress.
It was too cold to cry, when I woke up alone.
I hit my last number, I walked to the road.
You Don't Know How It Feels
Let me run with you tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint
And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud
You don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
People come, people go
Some grow young, some grow cold
I woke up in between
A memory and a dream
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
Let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I gotta go
And you don't know how it feels
You don't know how it feels to be me
My old man was born to rock
He's still tryin' to beat the clock
Think of me what you will
I've got a little space to fill
So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint
And let's head on down the road
There's somewhere I got to go
And you don't know how it feels
No, you don't know how it feels to be me
You Wreck Me
Tonight we ride, right or wrong
Tonight we sail, on a radio song
Rescue me, should I go down
If I stay too long in trouble town
Oh, yeah, you wreck me, baby
You break me in two
But you move me, honey
Yes, you do
Now and again I get the feeling
Well if I don't win, I'm a gonna break even
Rescue me, should I go wrong
If I dig too deep, if I stay too long
Oh, yeah, you wreck me, baby
You break me in two
But you move me, honey
Yes, you do
I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants
You be the girl at the high school dance
Run with me, wherever I go
Just play dumb, whatever you know
Oh, yeah, you wreck me, baby
You break me in two
But you move me, honey
Yes, you do
It's Good to Be King
It's good to be king, if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high and never come down
It's good to be king of your own little town
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It's good to be king and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, it's good to be king
Yeah I'll be king when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It's good to be king and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen who can't run away
It's good to be king, whatever it pays
Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time
The Last DJ
Well, you can�t turn him
Into a company man
You can�t turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs
Just don�t understand anymore
The top brass don�t like him
Talking so much
And he won�t play
What they say to play
And he don�t want to change
What don�t need to change
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
There goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
There goes the last DJ
Some folks say they�re gonna
Hang him so high
�Cause you just can�t do what he did
There�s some things you just can�t
Put in the minds of those kids
As we celebrate mediocrity
All the boys upstairs want to see
How much you�ll pay for
What you used to get for free
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
There goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
There goes the last DJ
Well, he got him a station
Down in mexico
Sometimes it�ll kinda come in
And i�ll bust a move and
Remember how it was back then
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
There goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
