Have A Nice Day
Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life? Who, are
you to tell me if it's black or white? Mama, can you hear me? Try to
understand. Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man. My daddy
lived the lie, it's just the price that he paid. Sacrificed his life, just
slavin' away.
Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me
through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live
my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the
ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say,
Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day
Take a look around you; nothing's
what it seems We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams, Let me
be the first to shake a helping hand. Anybody brave enough to take a
stand, I've knocked on every door, on every dead end street, Looking for
forgiveness, what's left to believe?
Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang
onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want
to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the
dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly. When the world
gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day.
Ohhh, if
there's one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't

diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to
fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A
Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice
Day.
When The world keeps trying, to drag me down, I've gotta raise my
hands, gonna stand my ground. Well I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice
Day Have A Nice Day

alone and feeling down Remember everybody's different Just take a look
around
Welcome to wherever you are This is your life, you made it this
far Welcome, you gotta believe That right here right now, you're exactly
where you're supposed to be Welcome, to wherever you are

you're exactly where you're supposed to be Welcome, to wherever you are
Who Says You Can't Go Home
I spent 20 years trying to get out of this place I
was looking for something I couldn't replace I was running away from the only
thing I've ever known Like a blind dog without a bone I was a gypsy lost
in the twilight zone I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold I
been there, done thatand I ain't lookin' back on the seeds I've sown, Saving
dimes, spending too much time on the telephone Who says you can't go
home
Who says you can't go home There's only one place they call me
one of their own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you
can't go home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a
matter of fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't
go home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its
alright
I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face There
isn't one of these lines that I would erase I lived a million miles of
memories on that road With every step I take I know that I'm not alone You
take the home from the boy, but not the boy from his home These are my
streets, the only life I've ever known, who says you can't go home
Who
says you can't go home There's only one place they call me one of their
own Just a hometown boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go
home Who says you can't go back, been all around the world and as a matter of
fact There's only one place left I want to go, who says you can't go
home It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, its
alright
I been there, done thatand I ain't looking that It's been a
long long road Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes
It
doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go If it's a
million miles aways or just a mile up the road Take it in, take it with you
when you go, who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go
home There's only one place they call me one of their own Just a hometown
boy, born a rolling stone, who says you can't go home Who says you can't go
back, been all around the world and as a matter of fact There's only one
place left I want to go, who says you can't go home It's alright, it's
alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright
It's alright, it's
alright, it's alright, it's alright, its alright Who says you can't go
home(2X)

Bells Of Freedom
I have walked all alone On these streets, I call
home Streets of hope, streets of fear Through the sidewalk cracks Time
dissapears I was lost, on my knees On the eve of defeat As i choked
back the tears There's a silent scream no-one could hear
So far away
from everything, you know it's true Something inside that makes you know what
you've got to do
Ring the bells, ring them loud Let them ring here and
now Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom When your world's
crashing down like you've lost every round Stand your ground And ring the
bells of freedom
Up the steps of the church Through the fields in the
dirt In the dark I have seen That the sun still shines for the one who
believed
So far away, so full of doubt, you needed proof Just close
your eyes, and hear the sound inside of you
(3X) Ring the bells, ring them loud Let them ring here and
now Just reach out and ring the bells of freedom When your world's
crashing down like you've lost every round Stand your ground And ring the
bells of freedom
Wildflower
She wakes up when I sleep To talk to ghosts like in
the movies If you don't follow what I mean I sure don't mean to be
confusing They say when she laughs she wants to cry She'll draw a crowd
then try to hide Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm
losing
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows By the side of the road
And she don't need to need like the roses Wildflower
That girl's
sure put a spell on me Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket If
she's fire, I'm gasoline Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop
it Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her
brothers Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a
lover
Nobody knows a wildflower still grows By the side of the
road And she don't need to need like the roses She's at home with the
weeds And just as free as the night breeze She's got the cool of a shade
tree She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her
Yesterday's a
memory Tomorrow's accessory That's her favorite quote about
regret Well, she'll tell you about her pedigree With a sailor's mouth he'd
have left at sea and it ain't over yet
Nobody knows a wildflower still
grows By the side of the road And she don't need to need like the
roses She's at home with the weeds And just as free as the night
breeze She's got the cool of a shade tree She's growin' on me and I can't
live with out her
Nobody knows(3X) That's right
She wakes up
when I sleep To talk to ghosts like in the movies
Last Cigarette
Regrets are all you left, on your lipstick
stains Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray We had our fun, I
used to light your flame Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find
our way
No one told me, she told me
Your love's like one last
cigarette Last cigarette, I will savor it The last cigarette Take it in
and hold your breath, hope it never ends But when it's gone, it's gone The
last cigarette
Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be The
smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep Don't ask the past
to last, it's about to change The memories don't answer when I call your
name
No one told me, she told me
Your love's like one last
cigarette Last cigarette, I will savor it The last cigarette Take it in
and hold your breath, hope it never ends But when it's gone, it's gone One
last cigarette, last cigarette One I can't forget, the last
cigarette Right there at my fingertips, got your taste still on my
lips Right or wrong You're still gone, gone, gone
No one told me,
she told me You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world
Your
love's like one last cigarette Last cigarette, I will savor it The last
cigarette Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends But when
it's gone, it's gone One last cigarette, last cigarette One I can't
forget, the last cigarette Right there at my fingertips, got your taste still
on my lips Right or wrong You're still gone, gone, gone
No one told
me, she told me The Last Cigarette
I Am
How you spend your minutes are what matters All
tomorrows come from yesterday's When you're feeling broke and bruised and
sometimes shattered Blew out the candles on the cake like everything's a big

ready and I'm willing
I Am When you think that no-one needs
you Sees you or believes you No ones there to understand I Am I'll

hand I Am

judge you, I'm just here to love you I Am I Am
(2X) I Am When you think that no-one needs you Sees you
or believes you No ones there to understand I Am I'll be there to be
that someone When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand I
Am

Novocaine
You can take back all your secrets We'll divide up
all the lies Keep all the pictures in their frames Cut me out, yeah I'll
be fine Tell the neighbours all my feelings Go on and give away all my
pride It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night
Keep your
rolodex of friends And all the remnants can be mind I guess there'll be no
happy endings When once upon is doing time There's a different kind of
meaning now To living on a prayer Some don't seem to notice And the
rest don't seem to care
I tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling
the pain (walk away) Can't walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of
hope It's getting hard to cope you know When you're the needle
running through my veins I've changed my name to novocaine
You put
my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight) You
burned my favorite sweats from high school Tried to sell my muscle car
(that's not OK) You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this
year They say you do the crime, you do the time It's all so clear
I
tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling the pain (walk away) Can't
walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of hope It's getting hard to cope you
know When you're the needle running through my veins I've changed my
name to novocaine
Well things ain't what they used to be It's a
sleepless, self-help century I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man
in me
(2X) I tell myself I (feel no pain) But I'm feeling the
pain (walk away) Can't walk away I'm hanging on the ropes of hope It's
getting hard to cope you know When you're the needle running through my
veins I've changed my name to novocaine

I'm not alright, but I feel ok cos Anything can, everything can happen

Make a memory
Hello again, it's you and me Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life, it's been a while God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys Looking for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay If you don't say what's on your
mind Baby just breathe There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory?
I dug up this old photograph Look
at all that hair we had. It's bittersweet to hear you laugh Your phone
is ringing I don't wanna ask
If you go now, I'll understand If you
stay, hey, I've got a plan We're gonna make a memory You wanna steal a
piece of time You can sing the melody to me And I can write a couple of
lines
You wanna make a memory?
If you don't know if you should
stay And you don't say what's on your mind Baby just breathe There's
nowhere else tonight we should be We Should be
You wanna make a
memory You wanna steal a piece of time You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple of lines
You wanna make a memory? (x2)
