Let's Go!
03:02
|
|||
|
I’m gonna run through the forest, run through the trees
Run through the darkness, you can’t catch me
Left what’s familiar, Left my hometown
You can try, but you can’t keep a good woman down
So let’s go, let’s go
Don’t leave me standing on my own
You’re too slow, too slow
You said you’d help me reach that milestone
You know, you know
I aint got no time to waste
So lets go, lets go
Before my hard work is erased
Lets go, lets go, lets go!
I work real hard for my money
I never get to rest
I could choose to see mediocrity
But that wouldn’t be my best
So let’s go, let’s go
Don’t leave me standing on my own
You’re too slow, too slow
You said you’d help me reach that milestone
You know, you know
I aint got no time to waste
So lets go, lets go
Before my hard work is erased
Lets go, lets go, lets go!
I can’t do my job if you don’t do yours
You told me you would open up new doors
But actions speak so much louder than words do
Could you, just tell me the truth?
So let’s go, let’s go
Don’t leave me standing on my own
You’re too slow, too slow
You said you’d help me reach that milestone
You know, you know
I ain’t got no time to waste
So lets go, lets go
It’s victory that I can taste
Lets go, lets go, lets go!
Let’s go lets go
Lets go lets go
Lets go lets go!

Stop, Drop, & Roll
02:42

Let me tell ya bout a guy I know
He wasn’t just your average Joe
He had the whole wide world at his feet
He knew everyone walking down the street
He had a very large appetite
For the ladies and the spotlight
He would always win when he rolled the dice
You could pay him for his good advice
Stop drop and roll
Stop Drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Cause he’s on fire
Let me tell ya bout a gal I know
She slapped the bass and picked the banjo
Folks would get in line just to watch her play
She wore a mini skirt and a French beret
A heart of gold and ahead of her time
She sang in key, and spoke in rhyme
She would always get the ace of spades
Her future was so bright she had to wear shades!
Stop drop and roll
Stop Drop and roll
Stop drop and roll
Cause she’s on fire

Here To Tell The Tale
03:35

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
And I am here to tell you that’s the truth
Cause when you go to sleep at night
If what you’re feeling just ain’t right
At least you’re gonna know just what to do
They tell you that the grass is always greener
But I am here to tell you that its not
And if you don’t find out yourself
You should just hang it on the shelf
Convince yourself the world has got to pot
I’m here
I’m here to tell the tale
(Here to tell the tale)
Yes, I’m here
I’m here to tell the tale
The saying goes, “its better late than never”
And I am here to tell you that’s my style
Cause when you drive as much as me
It won’t take long for you to see
It takes the whole damn day to go a mile
I’m here
I’m here to tell the tale
(Here to tell the tale)
Yes, I’m here
I’m here to tell the tale
Time is always flying
And you’re the pilot
So go and make a memory
One you wont forget
They may call you crazy
I’ll call you alive
You’ll never know unless you go
So hop on in, lets take a ride
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
And I am here to tell you that’s the truth
Cause when you go to sleep at night
If what you’re feeling just aint right
At least you’re gonna know just what to do!
’m here
I’m here to tell the tale
(Here to tell the tale)
Yes, I’m here
I’m here to tell the tale

Woah Is Me
03:06
|
|||
|
You’re addicted to being a victim
You’ll just contradict em
When they say “it’s all in your head”
I’m sure that you’re feeling conflicted
But we all predicted
That you’d do the same thing again
Woah is me
(Woah)
Why can’t you see, I’m stuck in the shadows?
Woah is me
(Woah)
This darkness is taking control
You’re addicted to being a victim
You think that you tricked em
But we see the reality
I’m sure that you’re feeling restricted
But you’re not convicted
Of having this mentality
Woah is me
(Woah)
Why can’t you see, I’m stuck in the shadows?
Woah is me
(Woah)
This darkness won’t leave me alone
You’re addicted to being a victim
But it’s just a symptom
Of watching you circle the drain
I’ve seen how you’re working the system
You’re problems, you list em’
You’re making yourself go insane
Woah is me
(Woah)
Why can’t you see, I’m stuck in the shadows?
Woah is me
(Woah)
This darkness is filling a hole

It's A Crime
04:59
|
|||
|
It’s a crime, to never leave your hometown
To never get to go down
To where the music plays
and it’s a crime to never see the big sky
To let the world just pass by
Never seeing the highway
It’s a crime to hide what you’re thinking
Dont wait until you’ve been drinking
To say what you really mean
And it’s a crime to never chase a rainbow
To never let your mind go
To places you’ve never been
Don’t be a criminal
Don’t steal your own opportunities
Dont be a criminal
A self-inflicted penalty
It’s a crime to wait until you’re married
To see if you’ll get carried
Away by his embrace
It’s a crime for it to be too easy
Your fantasy seems so dreamy
But the real world will slap you in the face
Don’t be a criminal
Don’t steal your own opportunities
Dont be a criminal
A self-inflicted penalty
And it’s a crime
To never love completely
To use your heart discretely
To chase them all away
And it’s a crime to never see tomorrow
To have to beg, steal and borrow
Your minutes and your days
Don’t be a criminal
Don’t steal your own opportunities
Dont be a criminal
A self-inflicted penalty
It’s a crime…
It’s a crime…
It’s a crime…

Running In Circles
03:33
|
|||
|
I’ve been putting off writing this song about procrastinating
I’ve been running in circles like a chicken with my head cut off
I’ve been telling all the neighbors that I’m gonna get it done
But I’m not one, to say no to fun
Procrastination
No motivation
Procrastination
Will I ever get it done? Oh no
I’ve been putting off paying the bills and taking out the garbage
I’ve been drinking booze like it’s going out of style
I’ve been starting fights with all my friends, who I’ve loved and lost and then loved again
But they knew, I was just running wild
Procrastination
No motivation
Procrastination
Will I ever get it done? Oh no
Wasted all this time
Will I make it there?
Should I go
Or will I die trying?
I’ve been putting off writing this song about procrastinating
I’ve been lying to myself about what I’ve done
I’ve been talking with my therapist about all the things that should come next
And she says, my life has just begun
Procrastination
No motivation
Procrastination
I think I’m gonna get it done, hell yes I will

Knocked Out
02:58
|
|||
|
When I sleep I dream of you
And when I do, there’s drool on my pillow
I’m knocked out just thinkin about you
When the sun begins to set
Oh, you can bet, I’m already yawning
I’m knocked out just thinking about you
You’ve been running all day through my head
Counting down the minutes ’till we can go to bed
Now I close my eyes, I’m so tired
Cause I’m knocked out just thinking about you
You’ve been running all day through my mind
Jogging all these memories of our lives intertwined
Now I close my eyes, I’m so tired
Cause I’m knocked out just thinking about you
I hit the snooze a dozen times
Cause you are mine, and the clock is a’tickin
I’m knocked out just thinking about you
When a cup of coffee just won’t do,
So I’ll drink a few, trying to keep my head up
I’m knocked out just thinking about you
You’ve been running all day through my brain
Over and over, just like an old refrain
Now I close my eyes, I’m so tired
Cause I’m knocked out just thinking about you
When I sleep I dream of you
And when I do, there’s drool on my pillow

The Art Of Asking
03:17
|
|||
|
Oh, you can’t do it all on your own
Weighed down by burdens, is such a heavy load
Sometimes you’ve got to put your pride aside
Reach out your hand, life will take you for a ride
You don’t get what you deserve,
You get what you negotiate
So you better start asking
Before it is too late
Don’t you be afraid
To ask for something
Or you’ll get nothing
The time we’ve got is short
And it’s the only chance we’ve got
So make sure to use it wisely
Because you only get one shot
You don’t get what you deserve,
You get what you negotiate
So you better start asking
Before it is too late
Don’t you be afraid
To ask for something
Or you’ll get nothing
Don’t wait, turn your wishes into words
You gotta ask the questions that you need to be heard
You don’t get what you deserve,
You get what you negotiate
So you better start asking
Before it is too late
Don’t be afraid
To ask for what you need
You deserve to succeed
Don’t you be afraid
To ask for what you want
Don’t be so nonchalant

12 Minutes Of Hot Water
02:57

12 minutes of hot water
That’s all I’m gonna get
How am I gonna wash my hair when I ain’t got no time left?
I could scrub-a-dub in a hurry
And try to get it done
But once the water comes out cold I’m gonna up and run
One month we stayed in Belgium
And we were living large
That water heater it had no meter
And I could bathe for hours
As soon as I got home again
And I hopped into the shower
I jumped out just as quickly
And I grabbed onto my towel
12 minutes
12 minutes of hot water
12 minutes
12 minutes of hot water
12 minutes
Is all I’m gonna get
It’s all I’m gonna get
My roommate’s always knocking
Telling me to hurry up
He says “Save me some hot water!”
He knows there ain’t enough
I tell him should back right off,
Or this will be the end
You’ve either got to stink all day
Or shower with a friend
10 minutes
10 minutes of hot water
10 minutes
10 minutes of hot water
10 minutes
Is all I’m gonna get
It’s all I’m gonna get
8 minutes
8 minutes of hot water
8 minutes
8 minutes of hot water
8 minutes
Is all I’m gonna get
It’s all I’m gonna get
I suppose I should feel lucky
For the things that I have got
There’s folks out there with no clean water
I guess I’ve got a lot
Conserve, reuse, recycle
That’s what we all should know
So get out of the shower
And save some H2O
6 minutes
6 minutes of hot water
6 minutes
6 minutes of hot water
6 minutes
Is all I’m gonna get
It’s all I’m gonna get
4 minutes
4 minutes of hot water
Oh, 4 minutes
4 minutes of hot water
4 minutes
Is all I really need
It’s all that I need
It’s all that you need
It’s all that we need

I Drink To Your Health
04:20
|
|||
|
I drink to your health when I'm with you
I drink to you health when I'm all alone
I've drank to your health so damn many times
That I've already ruined my own
Roll over in bed but there's nobody there
When I fell asleep you were stroking my hair
Now I wander the streets, but the person I see
Isn't you, they’re not you, you, you, you
I go the bar, not for fun but despair
By now I should know that you don't have a care
And the man at the end has a similar gaze
Then he walks up to me and we say..
I drink to your health when I'm with you
I drink to you health when I'm all alone
I've drank to your health so damn many times
That I've already ruined my own
I don't want it nice, but I do want it good
If you walked in my shoes you'd be misunderstood
But this pain has no gain, so I sit here again
Raise another drink with my friend
I drink to your health when I'm with you
I drink to you health when I'm all alone
I've drank to your health so damn many times
That I've already ruined my own
They say that love is a burial ground, and you've got me digging deep
When the ghosts they come to drag me out
they're gonna wake me from my sleep
My eyes are closed, my back is turned
My soul is hurt, my clothes are burned
But I only know one way
I drink to your health when I'm with you
I drink to you health when I'm all alone
I've drank to your health so damn many times
That I've already ruined my own
