Way back when, senior high Me and Mary Beth under Friday night lights I never told you just what went down but My heart broke with a brass band sound, and I swore I would, Never love again Way back when, Southwest state Me and Eileen, out on canyon lake Playing love roulette with a loaded gun We both took a bullet, but I dodged one Hell her momma was stone cold crazy And there ain't no way to go way back when, my love And there aint no love like the love I'm in, I'm yours I said there ain't no love like the love I'm in just in time, honey, you rode in I was a fool then, way back when Way back when, I saw your face Me and my heart were caught way off base In the last inning of a losing game where You go to steal home, you come in safe And you win it all, Honey believe me when I say There aint no way to go way back when, my love And there ain't no love like the love I'm in I'm yours I said there ain't no love like the love I'm in At the end of the movie, the lovers win I was a fool then, And I'm just musing bout it all To show you how lost I was Before I let you in I'm taking it way back Way back when Uh huh...take it way back, way back when Yeah there ain't no way to go way back when, my love And there ain't no love like the love I'm in, I'm yours I said there ain't no love like the love I'm in just in time, honey, you rode in I was a fool then, I didn't know you then, way back when

Best Friend 03:52
I know this kid, he’s a punk and a dummy Drinks big red and smokes all his money He got a broke trampoline in the back yard Says I'm gonna jump all the way up to heaven It's so hard Well, I got a friend, works down at the station Taking 911 calls every evening She get off late head to the ocean Calls me up, says it's coming in waves that evil emotion And nobody can help me like you can Nobody can help me like you can When I am so low you're my best friend Nobody can help me like you Me and my girl, never gonna break up we know how to fight, we know how to make up 'Cause at the end of a rope you want a knot that'll hold up Honey in the end, we all want love We all want love And nobody can help me like you can Well nobody can help me like you can When I am so low you're my best friend Nobody can help me like you

Come on up now brother Lay your bones on down You got trouble in your mind now brother Weighing heavy as the rock You're rolling up the mountainside Fine now brother I see your candle way in the back It flickers in the moonlight all blue like heartbreak Burning in the night Til the lights all fade to black When all the fire in your heart is going out And all the wreckage and the rain starts fallin You see it all coming apart, still holding out There's hope on the way, I heard you say Oh I believe the light's still shining It's shining through the dark And the darkness, it has not overcome it It will not overcome it Come on up now sister Lay your body on down You're shaking like a palm In a hurricane baby Bending in the wind til your Back is touching the ground Fine now sister I see that candle in the rain, the light Flickers in the flood when you hold it like that Up above your head for a breath When the water's high Oh I Believe The Light You say oh I believe the light's still shining It's shining through the dark And the darkness it has not overcome it It will not overcome it Oh I believe the light's still shining It's shining through the dark And the darkness it has not overcome it It will not overcome it

My part of town is 10 blocks long Catches the morning light and cuts it Into the brightest neon sign That ever hung above a street You might wander on your own Or you might bring another down with you To do that lonely dance of love Say get up on your feet Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak City Step right up, no love you won't find any Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak City Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak Get off when the sun goes down Every joint on the strip turns up and Shadows strum the baddest blues That ever played half a beat You might hum along your own Or you might join another in singing So do that lonely dance of love Well you got a front row seat Step right up, Welcome to Heartbreak City Step right up, no love you won't find any Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak City Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak It ain't free baby Step right up, Welcome to Heartbreak City Step right up, no love you won't find any Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak City Step right up, welcome to Heartbreak

Keep On 03:05
Slow motion, and a heartbeat busting out of the middle of my chest With the way you're speaking to me It's a bold notion, I see in your eyes If we're gonna move, you gotta make a move baby I'm hanging out on the line So come on come on the midnight's only laying in the dark til the morning Don't wait around for too long honey You can't you can't you can't Keep on treatin a lover that way Keep on treatin a lover that way Keep on treatin a lover that way Keep on treatin a lover In a sea of commotion, you're the calm I love all the sweet talk... But turn the walkin on I don't need the ocean, or a glass of wine Let that needle go down in the groove of the record Put your hand in mine Come on come on the midnight's only laying in the dark til the morning Don't wait around for too long honey You can't you can't you can't Keep on treatin a lover that way Keep on treatin a lover that way Keep on treatin a lover that way Keep on treatin a lover

Set the scene there you are Evening dress falling hard For the moment and the man and the quiet Enter me, in your head That one word that he says If you don't want me there I suggest you remember Picture this and the sound of my hair coming down All the notes in his hands playing in tune Cause we sounded good, we were (it went bad)bad, But we forgot (lost)what we had, My and my other boy we set the dark on fire Picture this and the sound of my hair coming down Were the notes in your hands playing in tune Did we sound good, was it that bad All I hear is you saying that You and your other boy (me and my boy Don't set the dark on fire Picture this and the sound of my hair coming down All the notes in his hands playing in tune Cause we sounded good, we went bad Why'd you bring up the past

When them bells start ringing When that long day is through When that choir stops singing When your blues get too blue Yeah your blues get too blue I'm gonna be there in that season In that season of change When that calm it ain't calming When that storm starts to rage Yeah that storm, well it's gonna range And when it blows your heart around You know where to go to get back on solid ground I ain't gonna give up on you When that politician’s lying When that weather man is too Through the rain and the dark I'll leave the light on in your room I'll leave the light in your room Cause it's a hard world to live in, honestly But don't make it harder than it has to be I ain't gonna give up on you When you're grown and you know me When you're grown you may find That your raising is only The blind leading the blind Lord, I'm blind but I'm trying You got me on this road to be a better man And I got this love you gotta understand I ain't gonna give up on you

Rebel 03:30
Momma said don't bite the hand that feeds you That don't mean you gotta to kiss it too Child I gotta runaway(getaway) sometimes and do my own thing find someone wiser to listen to Everybody breathing down your neck baby (Telling)Lies on lies You wanna beat down something stronger I can sympathize Oh, there's a little rebel A little rebel in everyone Daddy he won't fight unless he has to He taught me that one long ago But I've seen him up nights unwrapping his hands, he said That don't mean I'm not ready to go 'Cause people done talking they start throwing sticks and stones You can let it all come or use it to light that Fire in your bones Oh, there's a little rebel A little rebel in everyone So don't go breathing down my neck baby Not this time If you're looking for me honey I'll be standing Right out on that line Oh, there's a little rebel A little rebel in everyone

All quiet on the shore front tonight I'm on the boardwalk staring out to nowhere Fog's heavy I can see your headlights Coming up behind and vanish into thin air Heels clicking on the steps to the front door Heart's locked in the keep, the tide rolls on Your hair down all battle ready for a war I don't know how much longer I can hold on You're at the gates now, I can feel 'em break The sound of your voice, undermining all my walls they're shaking, the moves you're making Surrender I'll listen on one condition Don't burn my heart to the ground Shoulda seen it coming down the wire Arrows fly, a message on the phone I was so careful of friendly fire I wouldn't shoot any of my own And now I'm surrounded by spies The love in your eyes Invasion unchecked, victory or death Radio static, your hands automatically move under cover To kill your lover Don't burn my heart to the ground
