Oohh hurt myself but now I’m feeling alright
travelin down the east coast with one thing on my mind
try baby, you know I try, making a livin out of this guitar
you say it ain’t easy living at home without me around
Coz I’m too in love
to be away for very long and I’m
coming down the coast just as quick as I can, and I
need to know, if you’ll open up your arms, coz I’m
coming down that way, just as quick as you can say
I’m coming home!
Oohhh, your touch is what drives me on through the night
tenderness, the feeling of home just can’t be denied
try baby, you know I try, making a livin out of this guitar
you say it ain’t easy living at home without me around
Coz, I’m too in love
to be away for very long, and I’m
coming down the coast just as quick as I can, and I
need to know, if you’ll open up your arms, coz I’m
coming down that way, just as quick as you can say
I’m coming home!

Dream On The Way
03:51
|
|||
|
Walking around the dead of night
middle of nowhere can’t find a light
something tells me deep inside
something tells me I’m right
Yeah I feel it
Coming my way
And I know that
That my dream is on the way X 2
Yeah I’m tryin to find my way down the line
diggin myself outta this hole
but it feels so hard to believe
that I’m out here all alone

Coz I Got You
04:51
|
|||
|
Made a whole lotta money, held it in my hand
money to a young man, sure you understand
but I threw it all away for something that I love
yeah you know that the straight life, don’t fit me like a glove
Coz I got you
Yeah I work everyday, work my back to that bone
Makes it all now worth it, when I come home,
and I got you
Coz I got you

Hold On
03:14
|
|||
|
Well I wish
that I see her again
and I pray
that she come my way
but the highs are low
and the lows are high
Hold On
And I feel it in my bones
yeah it starts down low
and the feeling is mutual
yeah I know she feel it too
ahh but here I go again
starting to pretend
Hold On
Yeah I’m not sure why
which way it’s gonna go
and I’m trying my hardest
not to let it show
But here I go again
Starting to pretend

Old Friend

|
Old friend where are you today
old friend why have you gone astray
Why do we do it like we do
we both play the selfish chord
you know I always sick of thinking bout you
coz you always did me wrong
I think of all the years
Old Friend
Old friend there must be another way
old friend you know the memory still stays
Why do we do it like we do
we both play the selfish chord
you know I always sick of thinking bout you
coz you always did me wrong
I think of all the years
Old Friend

Don't Wake Me Up
04:11
|
|||
|
Oh I feel like I’m living a dream
everything ain’t quite what it seems
Don’t wake me up baby X 3
Oh I don’t know quite what is real
I admit I like the way that that feels
Don’t wake me up baby X 3

Rain On My Parade
03:07
|
|||
|
Held a broken arrow and I pointed it at you
would I let it go
I had plans for this kingdom
free of greed and broken dreams
then you came along
So don’t rain on my parade
I was always wondering
what the hell with you is wrong
but I let it go
I had plans for this kingdom
free of greed and broken dreams
then you came along
So don’t rain on my parade

In The Mind
03:41
|
|||
|
I was born by a stream
gold coloured mountains all around
a higher belief
that something is here that’s greater that me
my feet on the ground
sun beating down giving life to all
Fear and doubt
these are emotions created by man
Fear the disease of the mind
Travelin light
this is the way I wanna live
day by day
breathing as one connected to all
but I am alive
struck down by what I see
all of the greed and all of the fear
created by man
Fear the disease of the mind

Dardy Blues
02:48
|
|||
|
If you held my hand
you know I’d like it
swinging happily
down at the old oak tree
watch me climb it
meet you up the top
just you and me
Oohh singing in the sun
ohh we’re just having fun
singing the Dardy blues
If you follow me
you know I take you
to a place only I know
over the hill and around the bend
down by the stream
just me and you
Oohh singing in the sun
ohh we’re just having fun
singing the Dardy blues
No need to sing the blues
when I’m with you
climbing high
is all we do
The sun’s always shining bright
In the sky
come on down lets sing the Dardy Blues!
Oohh singing in the sun
ohh we’re just having fun
singing the Dardy blues

On My Own
04:00
|
|||
|
So hard, so hard to bear
this load, I cannot share
I’m on my own
The road leads on
so many turns
and I wonder
when will I learn
I’m on my own
