Hell Of A Ride 04:11

Too many cigarettes, too much wine Too many promises, too little time Too many times I put my ass on the line But it’s been a hell of a ride Too many women and not enough sleep Too many pigeons and not enough sheep Too many bridges when the river ran deep It’s been a hell of a ride (Counter melody on chorus) You never told me bout the way that you feel You never understood love You never said my heart was part of the deal It’s been a hell of a ride One hell of a ride It’s been a hell of a ride Too many doctors and too many pills Too many envelopes with too many bills Too old to try and make it over the hill It’s been a hell of a ride Too many times I’ve been thrown out of bars Too many bruises , too many guitars Too many burnouts in too many cars It’s been a hell of a ride

Take Me Up To Your Room 04:42

Oh, my, what can I do? That poor old woman has to live in a shoe But it’s alright She got the world at her feet Oh, my, where does it end? That poor old man has to make do and mend But he’s alright He got a Mercedes Benz I see you walking and you’re looking so fine I think I caught your eye I have to tell you that you’re crossing the line But I’m in fear for my life You’re gonna break me You’re gonna shake me You’re gonna take me up to your room You’re gonna hurt me You will divert me You’re gonna lie I don’t know why Oh, my, look at the moon He danced all night with a dish and a spoon But it’s alright He’s coming back real soon Oh, my, look at the bum Sat in the corner and he pulled out a plum But he’s alright He gonna give you some Feeling like a prisoner in an ivory tower Can’t let my hair down that low You got the answer, you have all the power And I got nowhere to go I see you walking and you’re looking so fine I think I caught your eye I have to tell you that you’re crossing the line But I’m in fear for my life You’re gonna break me You’re gonna shake me You’re gonna take me up to your room You’re gonna hurt me You will divert me You’re gonna lie I don’t know why

Can't Make It On My Own 04:48
lyrics

Now that she’s gone The clouds are all around Gathered in the shadows As she’s lowered to the ground A lifetime of loving Her heart would overrule Her soul was ever shining With her passion for a fool Guess I could have loved her More than I should have done I took her love for granted But she was the only one A solitary flower I left upon her face Even now when she is sleeping She has dignity and grace I hold out my hand Reaching for her touch She tells me that she loves me And it all becomes too much I turn to walk away And I see I’m on my own Now I can’t go home I just can’t go home alone Memories carved into stone Just can’t face it on my own I walk away Now I’m on my own Now I can’t go home I just can’t go home alone All those memories carved into stone I can’t make it on my own Yeah those memories carved into stone I can’t make it on my own So many memories carved into stone I can’t make it on my own

Hit The Ground Running 03:22
lyrics

When I was born I made a choice Stay in someones shadow Or find myself a voice I could live behind walls Or use all my cunning Wait until they start the race Or hit the ground running When I was busted I made a call Stay in solitary Or climb over the wall I could live behind bars Or use all my cunning Slowly rot away Or hit the ground running When I was buried I faced The Maker Told me I was damned to hell The Holy Undertaker II I want get to heaven I’ll have to use all my cunning Try and find repentance And hit the ground running

Listen to me I got something to say I need to tell you Why I’m walking away For so many years I loved you like no other For so many years I was made to suffer Those crocodile tears Won’t cut it anymore I’ve come to my senses And walking out that door For so many years I loved you like no other For so many years I was made to suffer I’m calling the shots I ain’t taking no more I ain’t gonna listen Like you told me before Make good all your lies And your denial too But this is it, we’re done I’m through Listen to me I got something to say I need to tell you Why I’m walking away For so many years I loved you like no other Yeah, for so many years I was made to suffer No more … I’m calling the shots I ain’t taking no more I ain’t gonna listen Like you told me before Make good all your lies And your denial too But this is it, we’re done I’m through Listen to me I got something to say I need to tell you Why I’m walking away For so many years And all those Crocodile tears Yeah, for so many years I was made to suffer

High Time 04:54
lyrics

So here we are, the same again The same old story never ends How can you say you love him so When he hits so hard and won’t let go? You cover up the pain inside But the evidence can’t be denied A superficial love affair Can’t you see there’s nothing there? I guess it comes as no surprise But there’s only so much makeup To hide your crying eyes You say it’s only now and then And when he tells you that he loves you You go running back again Now its high time that you left him High time you walked the other way Now its high time you forget him High time you turned and walked away You’re always talking in your sleep The scars are more than just skin deep You feel afraid to speak your mind Feel like you’re deaf, dumb and blind You can’t keep walking into doors It’s one on one or two-by-fours Tell me where he is tonight And I’ll make damn sure he treats you right

One More Card 04:00

You wanna love me, you better not cry You wanna make it, you better know why You wanna break it, you turn a blind eye You wanna play me, you never comply To the rules of the game One more card on the table Raise it up if you’re able to love Or walk away You wanna be there, you gotta have soul You wanna lie there, come out of your hole You wanna listen, you’re paying my toll You wanna drive me on cruise control And take a leading role One more card on the table Raise it up if you’re able to love Or walk away You wanna find it, you better not sleep You wanna buy it, it ain’t going cheap You gotta dig deep One more card on the table Raise it up if you’re able to love Or walk away You wanna love me, you better not cry You wanna play me, you never comply To the rules of the game One more card on the table Raise it up if you’re able to love Or walk away

Live It Up 02:42
lyrics

Sometimes you sing Sometimes you dance Sometimes you really need a second chance Sometimes you fight Sometimes you die Sometimes you never know the reason why You got to live it up You got to live it up Maybe you’re right Maybe you’re wrong Maybe you never learned the words to this song Sometimes you’re weak Sometimes you’re strong Sometimes we’re never gonna get along You got to live it up You got to live it up Cos at the end of the day When all is said and done You may not see tomorrow, got to have some fun You got to live it up Somedays the lamp post Somedays the dog Somedays the driveshaft Somedays the cog Somedays the truth Somedays the lie Some days you wish you never asked her why You got to live it up You got to live it up Cos at the end of the day When all is said and done You may not see tomorrow, got to have some fun You got to live it up Have a shot of Whisky Have another drink or two Try and do a Tango or electric boogaloo Tell your boss to suck it ‘cos he hasn’t got a clue You only got yourself to blame if you don’t follow through
