BOLD AND BEATEN

AS I STRAY OUT ON MY OWN
BECOME A STRANGER TO MYSELF
WALK AWAY FROM ALL I OWN
PUT MY LIFE ONTO A SHELF

I’M ALONE, BUT I’M NOT LONLEY
I’VE GOT FRIENDS EVERYWHERE I GO
I’VE GOT A HOUSE, BUT STILL NO HOME
I TAKE SHELTER IN MY SONGS

I’VE BEEN BOLD AND I’VE BEEN BEATEN
I’VE COME AHEAD AND I’VE LOST
EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN GIVEN
HAS BEEN WORTH THE PAIN IT COSTS

THERE’S A LIE BEHIND MY SMILE
A TRUTH THAT CAN’T BE TOLD
IT’S A, LOAD, THAT I CAN’T SHARE
SO I CARRY THAT LOAD ON MY OWN

I’VE BEEN BOLD AND I’VE BEEN BEATEN
I’VE COME AHEAD AND I’VE LOST
EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN GIVEN
HAS BEEN WORTH THE PAIN IT COSTS

I’VE GOT A LOVE, THAT CAN’T BE LOVED
A LOVE THAT CAN’T BE HELD
IT’S A LOVE THAT TORTURES ME
THAT WITHOUT MY LIFE IS HELL

I’VE BEEN BOLD AND I’VE BEEN BEATEN
I’VE COME AHEAD AND I’VE LOST
EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN GIVEN
HAS BEEN WORTH THE PAIN IT COSTS

BABY COME BACK HOME

COME ON BABY, DON’T LEAVE ME WAITING LONG
COME ON BABY, DON’T LEAVE ME HERE ALL ALONE
I’LL LEAVE A LIGHT ON, SO BABY COME BACK HOME

YOU’VE GOT A WAY TO HOLD ME, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT AROUND
YOU’VE GOT A WAY TO HOLD BE, FROM EVERY GOING DOWN
WITH OUT EVEN A WORD, YOU ALWAYS KNOW HOW

WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, AND ROLL INTO ME
WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND THROW YOU ARMS ALL OVER ME
THIS IS WHERE I NEED YOU NOW, IT’S WHERE YOU OTTA BE

WHEN YOU GO, DON’T YOU GO TOO FAR
WHEN YOU GO AWAY, PLEASE DON’T GO TO FAR
WON’T YOU THINK ABOUT ME GIRL, EVERYWHERE THAT YOU ARE

COME BACK HOME BABY, BABY COME BACK HOME
COME BACK HOME BABY, BABY COME BACK HOME
COME BACK HOME BABY, BABY COME BACK HOME

HOW I WISH

HOW I WISH I COULD CHANGE
THE MINDS OF THE WORLD
TO FIND BETTER WAYS
THAN FIGHTING IN WARS

HOW I WISH I COULD TEACH
A CHILD TO SING
SHOW HER THE SMILES
AND JOY THAT IT BRINGS

HOW I WISH I COULD LEARN
ALL THAT I STILL DON’T KNOW
HOW TO BE A BETTER MAN
HOW TO NEVER GROW OLD

HOW I WISH I COULD WRITE
A SONG FULL OF SMILES
THAT COULD BRING US TOGETHER
IF JUST FOR A WHILE

HOW I WISH THERE WAS TIME
FOR ALL THIS AND MORE
TO SEE THE CHANGE COME
AND TO WATCH IT ALL GROW

HOW I WISH I COULD WISH
AND HAVE IT COME TRUE
NOT JUST FOR MYSELF
BUT FOR ALL OF YOU TOO

HOW I WISH FOR THE BEST
IN ALL THAT YOU DO
MAY ALL OF YOUR WISHES
COME TRUE FOR YOU

TELL ME

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN GOING
WHEN YOU STAY OUT ALL NIGHT LONG
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN GOING
WHEN YOU STAY OUT ALL NIGHT LONG
ARE YOU OUT THERE MISBEHEAVIN’
ARE YOU OUT THERE DOIN’ WRONG

WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LOVIN’
‘CAUSE YOU SURE AIN’T LOVIN’ ME
WHO HAVE YOU BEEN LOVIN’
‘CAUSE YOU SURE AIN’T LOVIN’ ME
I’VE GOT ALL THE LOVE YOU NEED
ARE YOU JUST TOO BLIND TO SEE

WHEN DID WE GO WRONG
DID IT EVEN GET THAT BAD
WHEN DID WE GO WRONG
AND DID IT EVEN GET THAT BAD
FOR YOU TO TAKE OFF RUNNING
GIVE UP EVERYTHING WE HAD

WHY DON’T I FEEL SAD
AFTER WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH
WNY DON’T I FEEL SAD
AFTER WHAY YOU PUT ME THROUGH
NOW I CAN SEE
I’M DOING BETTER WITHOUT YOU

WHAT YOU GONNA DO
NOW THAT I LEFT YOU ALONE
WHAT YOU GONNA DO
NOW THAT I LEFT YO ALONE
DON’T BOTHER TO COME KNOCKI’
I’LL ALREADY BE LONG GONE

BROKEN MAN

YOU CAN’T TAKE THE HOME FROM A HOMELESS MAN
YOU CAN’T TAKE AWAY HIS STREETS
YOU CAN’T THREATEN A MAN, WITH NOTHING TO LOSE
OR BRUISE HIM WHEN HE’S BEAT

YOU CAN’T TAKE MONEY FROM A POOR MAN
OR SCARE A MAN WITH NO FEAR
YOU CAN’T SHAME A MAN WITH NO PRIDE
OR FORCE A STONE TO TEARS

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO A BROKEN MAN
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO A BROKEN MAN

YOU CAN’T CUT A MAN WHO’S BLEEDING
YOU CAN’T PUSH A MAN WHO’S DOWN
YOU CAN’T STARVE A MAN WHO’S HUNGRY
OR LOOSE HIM WHEN HE’S FOUND

YOU CAN’T BREAK A MAN WHO’S BROKEN
OR CHEAT A MAN WHO KNOWS
OR KILL A DREAM THAT’S DEAD
AND CURSE IT WHEN IT GOES

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO A BROKEN MAN
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO A BROKEN MAN

YOU CAN’T STRIP A MAN WHO’S NAKED
YOU CAN’T DEFEND A MAN WHO’S LIED
YOU CAN’T BELIEVE A MAN WHO’S LOST
YOU CAN’T ENVY A MAN THAT’S CRIED

YOU CAN’T LIFT A MAN WHO’S RISEN
OR TEACH A MAN THAT KNOWS
YOU CAN’T FIGHT A MAN WHO’S WON
OR HEAT A FIRE THAT BURNS

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO A BROKEN MAN
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO A BROKEN MAN

LONESOME ROAD

130 MILES TO THE NEXT STOP BABY
IT’S ONLY BEEN A WEEK SINCE WE HIT THE ROAD
THINKIN’ BOUT THAT ALWAYS MAKES ME CRAZY
‘CAUSE IT’LL BE 3 MONTHS ‘TILL WE GET BACK HOME

THE VOICE ON THE PHONE SOUNDS COLD AND SHAKY
THE WORDS I’M HEARIN’ CHILL ME TO THE BONE
IT’S USUALLY FINE, BUT IT HASN’T BEEN LATELY
SHE’S GETTING’ SO TIRED OF STAYIN’ HOME ALONE

THE LONESOME ROAD, GETS ME WHERE I’M GOING
THE LONESOME ROAD, GETS ME BACK HOME
EVERY RIDER KNOWS, THE LONESOME ROAD

THE WATIRESS AT THE BAR SAYS SLOW DOWN BABY
SLOW DOWN BABY, YOU’RE GOIN’ SO FAST
YOU’RE GOING TO HARD FOR ANY MAN BABY
SOONER THEN LATER, YOU’RE GONNA CRASH

I’M RUNNIN’ ON A TANK THAT’S WAY PAST EMPTY
LIVIN’ BY A CLOCK ALL OUT OF TIME
STARVIN’ A BODY THAT’S WAY PAST HUNGRY
NEVER THINKIN’ BOUT, WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND

WHITE LINES, FLAT TIRES, HEAD LIGHTS HONEY
THE ONLY THREE THINGS I KNOW FOR SURE
GAS STOPS HOTELS, IT’S ALL JUST MONEY
COME SO HARD FOR HOW FAST IT GOES

NOW EVERYWHERE I GO, I’VE BEEN TO BABY
NOTHIN’ NEW, IT’S JUST LIKE BEFORE
THE ONLY THING I CHANGE, IT WAS I SING BABY
IT’S THE ONLY WAY, IT’S THE LONESOME ROAD

THE LONESOME ROAD, GETS ME WHERE I’M GOING
THE LONESOME ROAD, GETS ME BACK HOME
EVERY RIDER KNOWS, THE LONESOME ROAD

BETTER MAN BLUES

STAY WITH ME

COME RESCUE ME, FROM ALL I DO
I’M PUTTIN’ MY FAITH IN YOU
THERE WILL BE TIMES, I WILL LET YOU DOWN
I NEED YOU TO STAND YOUR GROUND

I HEAR YOU CRY, FROM IN YOUR ROOM
I’M WANTING TO REACH FOR YOU
BUT THESE MILES BETWEEN,YOUR HAND AND MINE
ARE PUSHING ME ACROSS THAT LINE

STAY WITH ME
STAY WITH ME
SHOW ME WHAT YOU NEED
STAY WITH ME

YOU SMILE AT ME, EVERYTIME I GO
YOU’RE NEVER GONNA LET IT SHOW
THAT THROUGH EVERY NIGHT, WHILE I’M AWAY
I KNOW YOU WANT TO CALL MY NAME

I FEEL THE SAME, WHEN I’M GONE
IT ALWAYS FEELS WAY TOO LONG
IT WEIGHS ME DOWN, JUST LIKE A STONE
TO SEE YOU HERE ALL ALONE

STAY WITH ME
STAY WITH ME
TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED
STAY WITH ME

EVERY MILE GETS ME CLOSER TO HOME
EVERY DIAL, ON THE TELEPHONE
TURNS TO YOU

STAY WITH ME

I’LL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED

SO GONE NOW

IF I GAVE YOU A WISH BABE
WOULD I BE THE THING THAT YOU’D CHANGE
WOULD YOU WISH YOU NEVER SMILED BABE
WOULD YOU WISH YOU NEVER ASKED FOR MY NAME
WHEN YOU POUR ALL YOUR HEART
INTO THAT LAST FALLIN’ STAR
WILL THAT BE WISH THAT YOU MAKE

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT BABE
HOW RIGHT IT FELT, WHEN IT WAS GOOD
HOW I’D SHOOT OUT THE MOON BABE
JUST TO HOLD YOU IN THE DARK IF I COULD
HOW WE’D STAY UP ALL NIGHT
JUST TO FEEL THE SUN RISE
DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT IT, BABE

AND IT’S BEEN
SO LONG NOW
SINCE I LET YOU DOWN
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW
YOU ARE SO GONE NOW

LATELY I’VE BEEN TALKIN’ BABE
TALKIN’ TO MYSELF ABOUT YOU
TRYIN’ TO FIGURE OUT BABE
ALL OF THOSE THINGS, I DIDN’T DO
HOW I DIDN’T EVEN TRY
WHEN WE SAID OUR GOODBYES
LATELY I’VE BEN TALKIN’ TO ME BABE

BUT IT’S BEEN
SO LONG NOW
SINCE I LET YOU DOWN
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW
YOU ARE SO GONE NOW

NOW I’M OUT ON THE ROAD BABE
WITH NOTHIN’ TO DO BUT PASS TIME
I PULL AWAY FROM THE TOWNS BABE
LIKE I DID TO YOU, AND I LEAVE THEM BEHIND
AND IF I SEE YOU AGAIN
IT’LL BE JUST AS A FRIEND
THAT’S JUST HOW IT’S GOTTA BE NOW BABE

CAUSE IT’S BEEN
SO LONG NOW
SINCE I LET YOU DOWN
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW
YOU ARE SO GONE NOW

BUT IT’S BEEN
SO LONG NOW
SINCE I LET YOU DOWN
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW
YOU ARE SO GONE NOW

HOPIN’ THAT YOU’LL FIND
A LITTLE PEACE OF MIND
