I've got me a million dollars
In the trunk of my car
Signed me the paper in my pocket
Gonna make me a star
You've got that chip on your shoulder
You've got that look in your eye
You swear that I owe you something
But you can't say why
You want to be my girl
That window is closed
I wrote the song girl
When you hit the road
You screamed that you'd had enough
Of me just fooling around
You never ever really figured it out
No you never really heard the sound
You smell the blood in the water
It helped you gather your nerve
You swear that you've got it comimg
You'll get what you deserve

Can't Imagine
04:21
|
|||
Just this morning
The light hit my eyes
Like a cold chill
I start to realize
You're not sleeping
Not lying by my side
Not gonna do it
I won't dog you around
Can't Imagine
How to deal with the sound
Hear you saying
You don't want me around
Just can't imagine
No I can't comprehend
Why you want to treat me
Like some cold dead end
Don't know what happened
Just don't know what went wrong
Seems it's time to clear my mind
Can't Imagine
Can't imagine you gone
Seen it happen
Too many times before
Keep on hoping
But get shown the door
You can't do it
You won't hurt me no more

I Wish

Well you know I wish
I was twenty one
Yeah you know I wish
I was twenty one
Well if I got my wish oh girl
We could have some fun
Don't you know it's hard
Living in my shoes
Oh baby it's so hard
Living in my shoes
Well if I got my wish oh girl
I could lose these blues
Well you know I wish
I was twenty two
Yeah you know I wish
I was twenty two
Well you know now pretty baby if I got my wish
I'd do it all over the very same way with you

Blink Of An Eye
05:32
|

I've been thinking about numbers
I've been watching the time
I've been counting the minutes
Wondering which ones would be mine
I've seen the man in the mirror
He looks familiar to me
He reminds me of someone
But I don't know who I see
Time goes flying by
Years gone in the blink of an eye
No no now you'll never see it coming
There's no time to cry
When I was younger
You know I felt like a King
Go ahead try and stop me
I could do most anything
Now my powers have faded
I can't fly anymore
Just give me a minute
Someones knocking at the door
Looking over my shoulder
Looking back at my past
I like the way that it happened
But it happened way to fast

Look Down
05:42
|
|||
When you drive through Detroit city
Tell me what it is you see
Miles of empty crumbling buildings
Survivors living on the street
Praise the Lord they ain't your problem
Flying by at eighty miles an hour
Get yourself to a safe zone
Slam a nine buck whiskey sour
Don't you see it could be you
With a simple twist of fate
You live your life with your head in the clouds
You know you've got to look down
Look down
Got a brand new shack in the suburbs
New car and happy mouths to feed
Got yourself two of everything
You never thought you'd ever need
You've got a college education
You've got a closet full of suits
But you've got no time for the down and out
You turn deaf, dumb, blind and mute
Time you count your lucky stars
Realize just how many of them that there are
You live your life with your head in the clouds....

Looks That Way
06:59
|

I could've held her
I can't explain why I didn't
She's my kind of beauty
The kind that's in and out of my dreams
She didn't seem to sense the way that I felt
Oh what a shame and she turned and she left
Will I see you again?
I can't say
I only once kissed her
And it made me fell kind of happy
But I felt empty
As I made my way away from her door
Am I the disappointment she couldn't expect?
Just another waste of her time?
It kind of looks that way
Today
I'd like to see her
But she doesn't come around any more
I'd like to tell her
How I feel when she walks through my door
But it seems as though I'm just one day behind
Love is too late for my kind
It kind of looks that way
Today

Not No More
04:45
|

I'm sick of the mornings
Yeah I'm sick of the nights
I'm tired of pretending
Everything's gonna be alright
Got to turn now and face it
No more running away
You just ain't the same girl
Since you've gone insane
You wanted everything
You had it all
You took it for granted
You had it in your hands
I'm sick of love
All the trouble it brings
All those made up stories
All them songs you sing
I'm ready for walking
Yes I'm ready to run
Ready to close my eyes
Call it over and done
I'm sick of the mornings
Yeah I'm sick of the nights
I'm tired of pretending
Everything's gonna be alright
I'm sick of love
All the trouble it brings
All those made up stories
All them songs I sing
You wanted everything
You had it all
You took it for granted
You had it in your hands
Not no more

Like a flower in a meadow
Like the leaves beneath a tree
Like a snowflake on your rooftop
Like a raindrop on the sea
Like a shadow in the darkness
When the moon's just barely there
Like the brilliance of the sunlight
When you're blinded by the glare
Will it ever matter?
Does it really matter?
Can I live my life how I need it to be?
I'm here in front of you
Here for you to look right through
Will you ever discover me?
Or am I the thing you just can't see
Like an idea that escaped you
Like a thought you'll never dream
Like a song you won't be singing
Like a breath you'll never scream
Like the way I feel about you
Like the way we'll never be
Like the weight of the world
That's crashing down all around me
Like those things you just can't see
Will it ever matter?
Does it really matter?
Can I live my life how I need it to be?
I'm here in front of you
Here for you to look right through
Will you ever discover me?
Or am I the thing you just can't see

Tight Black Dress
05:04

Look good - I feel fine
Uppercase and underlined
Eight O'clock - I won't be late
Rolling up to collect my date
See my girl can't help herself
Take one look you'll see no one else
She ain't looking understand?
She's got herself a lifetime man
When she looks right at you
Ain't no way to keep your head straight
I try but I don't rate
I wore my Sunday best
She wore that tight black dress
Yeah tonight - gonna sell my soul
Skin tight dress - black as coal
Start to shake - sucking air
I can't speak - I just stare
When she looks right at you
Ain't no way to keep your head straight
I try but I don't rate
I wore my Sunday best
She wore that tight black dress
You seem to think that I've got it made
Hot as a lit match in the cool shade
It just ain't as simple as it seems
No where left to hide when by your side is the girl
Of your dreams
When she looks right at you
Ain't no way to keep your head straight
I try but I don't rate
I wore my Sunday best
She wore that tight
Black
Dress

Cadillac
04:24
|

Pappy had him a Cadillac
Two blocks long and midnight black
She was quiet as a heart attack
Cruising along in the jet stream
Sipping vodka and grenadine
You don't mess with that mans machine
Never travelled the beaten track
Never needed the things I lack
Said lots of words that I can't take back but I....
Sure would like a Cadillac
Daddys Caddy was cool and clean
A ride built for the king and his queen
Hit the road just to see and be seen
When he slipped behind the wheel
All his daydreams turned to real
Ain't what you drive it's how it makes you feel
Never travelled the beaten track
Never needed the things I lack
Said lots of words that I can't take back but I....
Gotsta have a Cadillac
Family tradition
Let it be
Lifelong ambition
Why not me?
People moaning that life ain't fair
Suits and flowers everywhere
I can't hear them but I don't care
Finally got me a Cadillac
Two blocks long and midnight black
Paid in full with my heart attack....
Never travelled the beaten track
Never needed the things I lack
Said lots of words that I can't take back
Finally rode in a Cadillac
