Leave Or Be Left Behind

The ground is shakin`

It`s a seven on the Richter scale

Everything `round us is fallin` apart

Looks like the world`s comin` to an end

Better pick up the pieces

It`s time to get out of here

Yeah, the bits and pieces of your life

If it`s there

(You`ve got to)

Leave or be left behind

Leave or be left behind

The sky is burning

And you just can`t stand the heat

It was a fine, fine day a few minutes ago

Now it`s a warzone in the streets

Better make a decision

There`s not much you can do

But treasure what is left

Of what used to be

(You`ve got to)

Leave or be left behind

Leave or be left behind

Leave or be left behind

Leave or be left behind

Who Dares Wins

Why`s everybody always pickin` on me

Been goin` on for years, why don`t they leave me be

Got a bad reputation and that ain`t good

I can do all the things you ever wish you could

But hey, I`m used to it by now - It`s nothing new

I`ll make it through somehow - I always do

Who dares wins

Who dares wins

Who dares wins

Look into your heart, start chasin` the dream

Or wake up in the middle of life with a scream

Live and learn from the days you get

Don`t wanna grow old on regrets

But hey, that`s how it goes sometimes – Yeah, sad but true

So if you walk that extra mile  - I promise you

Who dares wins

Who dares wins

Who dares wins

So if you wanna learn how to make it right

We got a full bottle and half the night

Who dares wins

Who dares wins

Who dares wins

Holding On

Summer is over, everybody`s gone

The curtain`s down and so`s the sun

Here comes snow and rain

It`s driving me insane

I`m holding on – (till the winter`s gone)

I`m holding on

It`s cold outside so I stay indoors

Nobody comes here anymore

Now the dark is here

It`s that time of year

I`m holding on – (till the winter`s gone)

I`m holding on

I have closed the door

Now I`m waiting for…

I`m holding on – (till the winter`s gone)

I`m holding on – (till the winter`s gone)

I`m holding on – (till the winter`s gone)

I`m holding on

Without You

If you`d leave tonight

What would become of me

In this darkness you’re the light

That shines upon me

What would I be

What would I do

What would the world be without you

How would I know

Where I should go

I would be lost and led astray

Without you

Sometimes when I

Think about what we have

It`s plain to see

It`s obvious to me

What would I be

What would I do

What would the world be without you

How would I know

Where I should go

I would be lost and led astray

Without you

House Of Blues

Dad`s passed out, crashed on the couch again

Mom`s downtown looking for another man

What used to be a place so safe and sound

Have become a mansion crashing down

How can I play my rock`n roll

Living in the house of blues

House of blues

Mom`s new lover calls her every day on the phone

Dad`s never here, and when he is I`m always alone

Too many dogs are barking up my tree

I close my eyes, there`s so much I don`t wanna see

How can I play my rock`n roll

Stuck in this house of blues

House of blues

Not one more day, I`ve got to get away

A new life begins on the midnight train

So I can play my rock`n roll

Free from the house of blues

House of blues

Backdoor Boogie

Gonna take you all the way tonight

I come a creepin` up from behind

I`ve got something dirty on my mind

Backdoor Boogie

Backdoor Boogie

Hey babe, let`s get it on

I`m red hot and still you turn me on

Gotta do it here and now, oh yeah

Backdoor Boogie

Only One

There is a time I carry within

Way back, like in another life

I searched  in hope to find, but never did

Thought I was gonna loose my mind

So many years in solitude

And all this time, appearantly you were the same

We crashed on the highway of love

Sparks ignite, soon to become a flame

Maybe it`s not too late

Good things comes to those who wait

There`s only one, Only one for me

One is all I need, To make my life complete

One, Only one for me

One is all I need, And now you`re here with me

We`re not supposed to walk alone

Through life, that`s not how it`s oughta be

From the day you touched my heart

And ever since, I know you were meant for me

Another year`s gone by

You`re standing faithful by my side

There`s only one, Only one for me

One is all I need, To make my life complete

One, Only one for me

One is all I need, And now you`re here with me

Love doesn`t always come easy

Sometimes it don`t come at all

I found what I wanted and needed

Yeah, all in one

There`s only one, Only one for me

One is all I need, To make my life complete

One, Only one for me

One is all I need, And now you`rehere with me

One, only one for me

One is all I need, eternaly

One, only one for me

One is all I need

Only one

Be What You Are

Why try to be someone else

Just because an image sells

I`ll give it to you straight, my friend

It doesn`t matter in the end

No, it don`t matter in the end

Be be - Be what you are

Be be - Be what you are

Look at all these wanna bees

Good taste doesn`t grow on trees

In my eyes you`re the star

But don`t forget who you are

Always remember what you are

Be be - Be what you are

Be be - Be what you are

So when you`re dancing on the edge

Always remember what I said, just

Be be - Be what you are

Be be - Be what you are

Be be - Be what you are

Be be - Be what you are

Be be - Be what you are

Day Off

Been out on the weekend

Feels good to be home

So tired`n weary

Think I`ll hit the sack when alone

The telephone is ringing

There`s my Boss on the line

Wonder what he`s up to

If not working` overtime

I need – I need a day off

I need – I need a day off

It feels like all my power`s gone

I got no, nothing left

How I used to be so alive

Sometimes I do regret

It`s just the world we live in

You know, the times have changed

At least I got what I want, so

Guess I can`t complain, but

I need – I need a day off

I need – I need a day off

Halfway Home

We`ve been up celebrating the success from last night`s show

Now we`re tired and we`re stinking from years on the road

Hey yeah, years on the road

Time to crawl back into our cage and roll the wheels

When we wake up another city`s gonna bleed

Yeah yeah, the city`s gonna bleed

Been a hard ride on the rough road

The smoking and drinking is taking it`s toll

The silence gets me as we move along

I`m only halfway home

All these different places and faces I have seen

After a while I start forgetting where I`ve been

Hey yeah, don`t remember anything

Nobody knows me anymore, but my name

I made the choice, I guess I`m the one to blame

Yeah yeah, it`s a crying shame

Been a hard ride on the rough road

The smoking and drinking is taking it`s toll

The silence gets me as we move along

I`m only halfway home

And as the night falls upon this God forsaken town

The band is getting ready for another round

Gonna shake a bit of ground

Yeah, one more round

Been a hard ride on the rough road

The smoking and drinking is taking it`s toll

The silence gets me as we move along

I`m only halfway home

Halfway home

Halfway home

A Better Christmas

No rock and roll here, just the sad ol` Christmas blues

Uh – hu

Down In The Heart Of Dixie

I`ve left pieces of my heart `most everywhere

And now there`s barely enough left to keep me alive

But one I`ve kept inside for all these years

She had a body with curves like Mullholland Drive

One summer passing by

She had to go back home for a while

Down down in the heart of Dixie

So far gone she can never be found

Down down in the heart of Dixie

Well, there`s a jukebox by the wall with a song we used to play

Sing and dance, dance the night away

Now I`m sitting here alone

Wondering if she is with someone

Down down in the heart of Dixie

So far gone she can never be found

Down down in the heart of Dixie

She`s all gone – (in the heart of Dixie)

Yeah, way on down – (in the heart of Dixie)

She belongs – (in the heart of Dixie)

In a dusty town

Down down in the heart of Dixie

So far gone she can never be found

Down down in the heart of Dixie

So far gone she can never be found

Down down in the heart of Dixie

This Place Called Home

Feels like forever since you been gone

Dealing with the weather

A struggle alone

Outside my window I see the world go by

I know it looks like rain

But maybe just a tear in my eye

Now she`s gone, gone, gone

Left me here alone

And I`m outa love inside this place called home

It`s the same old story over again

Never thought I`d be in it

But that`s what I am

Yeah, I`ve had my chances

Chances with you

I know I blew it all like I always do

Now she`s gone, gone, gone

Left me here alone

And I`m outa love inside this place called home

We used to be such a pretty couple

Al I have now are memories

She took off with some hot shot rocker

Said she`s never comin` back to me

Now she`s gone, gone, gone

Left me here alone

And I`m outa love inside this place called home

Guess We Can`t Save The World

I wish we didn`t do the things we do

And for none of the things that happens to be true

Maybe I`m just being naive

But I no longer know what to believe

There will be a storm one night

At least that`s what I`ve heard

So honey, I guess we can`t save the world

Mother Earth – your fire, it still burns

But how many rounds`left to turn?

And as time slips through our fingers like sand

We sit here hiding our bloodstained hands

But no rain or snow can wash away

The guilt that we have earned

So honey, I guess we can`t save the world

Put your life on hold

For a little while

Take a good look around

There`s no wonderin` why

We can`t save the world

If we watch it die
