$1,000,000 03:36
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

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 05:14
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

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....

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

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
