Everywhere 02:51
I've been away since Sunday, Monday, Tuesday on and on Nothing is the same here since I've been gone These dreams don’t make it alright I'd rather be with you I'd rather be anywhere with you than everywhere, everywhere without you I swagger through the bar crowd, the beers flow, cheers loud I stagger to the stage to play another someone's favorite now my mind rides another wave I'd rather be with you... I'm cruising in my car down to another dead end chase She tells me how far I've been running in place I never knew I could fly this high... I'd rather be with you...

I never want to get that way a squinting grimace on my face with words of building walls and hateful cattle calls I've never seen much darker days Anger in their eyes a fistful of white lies a child lends a hand to a weary tired man I found some good I found some good again The mean are always damaged goods from somehow broken childhoods The selfish mask a fear they use to commandeer always so misunderstood I sense a light In every soul I meet I focus on that shine As if that is all I see I found some good I found some good again Every day brings everything with hope Everyone's got something to help them cope It’s in reach i know I found some good I found some good again

Ooooo, careful baby I'm a crumpled valentine Oooo, I'm tan like brandy but I taste like turpentine Step light girl, sit down there shove the laundry off the chair Don't mind the mess it's just a decompression from love Ooo carpets soiled, soda cans pilin’ trash Strewn 3 months mail, and pizza crusts line a path Don’t bother with your little white glove dance ain't nobody got no time for that Don't mind the mess it's just a plain progression from love Soo-oon…they’ll be remnants of my not so distant past Oooo, it all plays like Oprah but it reads like Kerouac You may well be the first prize winner of this newer brighter better me ...until then Don’t mind the mess It’s just a hard-learned lesson from love Don’t mind the mess It can’t keep me away from love

Blondie Boo 02:50
He sits on a stool singing train station blues croons earnest with his wits soaked in drool for the blonde in the room her aura abounds on every sound Blondie Boo Can’t you see he’s got it bad for you Don’t you know that every single body here can see the truth Every single body, that is, except for you There's a buzz in the crowd as you're milling all about with your tea and a smile Every face that you greet is feeling the heat of his fixed spotlight Blondie Boo… I just want you to look my way We’ve got to find a place to start My hope’s the only thing holding me together Don’t let me fall apart The night’s winding down and he’s gazing sadly As you walk out the door Blondie Boo…

The way she twirls her rosary around her thumb The way she swirls the jolly rancher round her tongue I saw her steal a jump rope knot it up like a noose string up her barbie doll a baby devil on the loose Sally Calicocookie, ca-calicocookie Running down the halls with the scissors in her hands Dodging all the nuns, cutting up the air I knew right there and then I had to find a way to be her man "This Piece Be With You" scribbled underneath her skirt she lifts it to the boys kneeling there in church she spiked the holy water with dad's Kentucky rye flirting with the priests in the confessional to get the wine Sally Calicocookie, ca-calicocookie Slinking down the stairs with her ciggies in her hand Cursing at the principal and making heathen plans I knew right there and then I had to find a way to be her man All those afternoons chasing you down the hall I fantasized about pushing you against the wall Our eyes would meet and our lips would touch I should have known then that you were just way too much Another parent's night at my daughter's school She swears to me her English teacher's really cool I sit and wait and wonder, what could she mean then Sally enters singing "God Save The Queen" The mother's mouths aghast the father's drooling drawls She keeps me after class to pass her flask of fireball Sally Calicocookie, ca-calicocookie Preaching to the students 'bout the power people have Dancing down the halls, a trail of children laugh I knew right then and there I had to find a way to be her man

Girl Band 04:16
Wednesday night numb from work's craze I missed my stop on the train I got out at the next town A sound pulled me out of my haze There in a nondescript bar Her voice called to me from afar A song of her passionate crush With her delicate touch on guitar Girl band singing to me Like angels in heaven's limelight Tonight my life's saved by a girl band I looked to her left on the stage To the bassist in hypnotized rage Singing her harmonies high Her style made me feel half my age Girl band boomin' through me Rhythm and melody bridged To my life that I've hid till the girl band saved me With nothing surrounding my walk through life But the bars around me in my cell to survive There's something about their lioness love That makes me break free from this cage and run I heard the drummer count four Her rumble shook me through the floor Her pounding power to heal I need to feel forevermore Girl band synced my heartbeat Awakened my castaway dreams and made me believe I’m a new man I'm a new man Girl band singing to me Like angels in heaven's limelight Tonight I’ve been my life's by a girl band By a girl band Girl band Girl band Girl band Filling my dreams Singing to me

Relax I'm always here with you Sit back I'll help you follow through Perhaps the wind will hover crows above Everyone knows a crow of black precedes a pure white dove Wherever you are Wherever you are I’ll always be the one for you that’s never far Wherever you are Look back on all that we've been through from acts of gold to careless words of blue Our love gets hungry at our door for sure we led it ‘round the grounds and watched it drown on tireless shores Wherever you are Wherever you are I’ll always be the one for you that’s never far Wherever you are Don't ever count me out (I’m your stowaway) Don't ever count me out (I’m yours everyday) Don't ever count me out (I'm yours now) Relax I'm always there for you Relax and let your dreams come true The sun is finally lighting up the sky And I take it as an omen of our lives Wherever you are Wherever you are I’ll always be the one for you that’s never far Wherever you are

All I Am 03:21
I'm a little bit Marlon Brando I'm a little Al Pacino too I like a little of the Carlos Mambo Mrs. Manicotti liked it too I'm a little bit Lenny & Squiggy But I'd rather be the Big Ragu Gotta get me some Coke and Poprocks Hey Mikey - he likes it too All I am baby is what you see But all I am darlin’ is not all I'll be Sometimes I’m hot and sweaty Sometimes I’m cool and calm I’m not afraid to play the fool Or to sing you a song I’m a little bit 3 stooges I’m a little 3 musketeers I like to bluff and win at poker Bobby Dylan likes it too I hear All I am baby is what you see But all I am darlin’ is not all I'll be Atomic batteries to power Turbines to speed You're gonna wanna stick around now And listen to me All I am baby is what you see But all I am darlin’ is not all I'll be

Call me citified Steppin' down a gritty street Far from satisfied 'Cause you're not steppin' with me I walk subway stairs to cobblestone 'round Bleecker, Mercer, Wooster, Centre I got friends but I feel alone I'm missing your kissing and listen I've been loving you too damn long From damn too many places Voodoo in the room Po' boy at the bar Feeling deja vu from bourbon in a mason jar I got psychedelic silly on St Louis, St Peter, St Charles, St Ann A sole man in a hurricane I was slippin', trippin', flippin' I've been loving you for too damn long From damn too many places Hot, sticky Memphis night looking for some food Molly’s La Casita got me in the mood But southern hospitality Ain’t always what it’s cracked up to be Touchdown LA town party in the hills tonight Top down drive around take it to a whole new height I got backstage access VIP at Whiskey, Roxy, Viper, Rainbow Only thing not here with me your shakin', bakin', quakin' I've been loving you for too damn long From damn too many places

Get Along 04:28
I'm down, I'm down, I'm down to my final dime I filled my pockets with tickets for a rock and roll run I'm done, I'm done, I'm done with the wasted time Why worry 'bout the years in the rear view gone So many, so many, so many roads to ride Get along life's got a new dawn for you yeah you … Been runnin' and runnin' and runnin' through a lightning strafe Don’t matter if sun never comes through those clouds I’ll get flying and flying and gliding above the rain My only rule of thumb now is never look down So many, so many, so many roads to ride Get along life's got a new dawn for you yeah you … And I know I can’t go back Or change the way I am Bags are packed and the window’s down I’ll do the best i can I know, I know, I've known from my dawning days My guilty prison's where I've honed my vision for years Let go, let it go and throw it to the stellar blaze Get on living let my dreams be delivered to me So many, so many, so many roads to ride Get along life's got a new dawn for you yeah you …
