On the Road

we can hear the open road
it's calling out our names
telling us to follow
we'll never be the same
it can lead to riches
it can lead to fame
it can bring us sorrow
it can bring us pain

(chorus)
on the road...up on every stage
on the road...come and hear us play
on the road...new town every night
on the road...this music is our life

people think it's easy
doing what we do
traveling from town to town
if they only knew
man don't get us wrong
this life we wouldn't trade
cause when we play our music
we sure got it made

(chorus)
we have the blood of gypsies
running through our veins
just a bunch of restless souls
you can never tame
no matter how hard we try
we just can't settle down
this is the life we're gonna live
till they put us in the ground

(chorus)
Blame it on Me

I heard you had a lot to say
about what went wrong
when you walked away
I guess it's just that part of you
that has to be right
no matter what you do
girl you've got a lot to learn
about all my friends
when it's me you want to burn
what does it matter anyway
just like a memory starts to fade
you've forgotten who to blame

(chorus)
blame it on love
blame it on something higher
from up above
blame it on the way you did your hair
all the times I wasn't there
blame it on all the dreams we had
and all the times I made you sad
but if you blame it on the one
setting you free
blame it on me
it's been a year or two
and we've both moved on
just like were supposed to do
but in the back of my mind
I still hold tight
to what we've left behind
and if there's one thing you should know
I don't want to let you go

(chorus)
One Black Rose

he was north bound 95
on a cold december night
had a tanker full of fuel
behind him for the ride
he was a day ahead and
he almost home
with one long stemmed rose
to surprise his wife
getting home that night
kept him on the road
until he lost control
it's 12 am she thinks its him
so she won't pick up the phone
it's easier to pretend
she's lying there alone
something's up cause it won't stop
so she finally takes the call
"Sorry ma'am we did all we could"
the tears begin to fall
and she looses control

(chorus)
start up a fire feed it desire
add a lil guilt and watch it light
up the sky for all the world to see
damage done peace never comes
and now shes on the run
from one black rose and the
smell of gasoline

summers come summers go
and the cold wind starts to blow
stirring up the memories
she wished she didn't hold
she can't see her future
so she takes it day by day
and even though her lover's gone
the guilt won't go away
still she loses control

(chorus)
Broken Man

well I know
that I've lost my way
but I do the best
that I can
I get by everyday
but I'm still just
a broken man
yeah I'm still just
a broken man
all my friends
they don't know
what to say and they
won't ever understand
and though I
I smile just the same
I'm still just a broken man
yeah I'm still just
a broken man
my whole life's turned
upside down oh and
nothing, nothing seems
the same the past is
gone and lost forever
no it won't pass this way
again and I wonder
when I'll feel okay
this ain't the life
that I planned
I know that I'll find
my way but for no
I'm a broken man
yeah for now I'm
a broken man
yeah now
I'm a broken man
Lonely Nights
you and me we gotta
believe in something
stronger than in between
the closer we get the more
I think there's something
else that we're both longing
for can't you see the way
that I feel inside each time
that you look at me the closer
we get the more I believe
I'm looking out and the
suns going down and I
keep on calling and your
not around and I think

(chorus)
we just let another day go by
with these feelings all trapped inside
why don't we take em
for a ride can we meet
somewhere in the moon light
cause darling it just ain't right
to spend one more lonely night

maybe I haven't been there
for you each time life took you
for a ride I'm willing to prove to
you that the past is the past no matter
what you do
don't spend your time looking
over your shoulder when all
you have to do is let me come
over and say

(chorus)

It's getting late I'll leave
a message this time
fate must be listening cause
you picked up the line and I hear

(chorus)
Still Wonder Why

every time I see you
you walk the other way
don't believe you'd talk to
me anyway can't think of
one thing that you could
say I guess we'll save it for
another day what did I do to
end up here all I did was love
you and hold you near
I never did you wrong I never
made you cry so how could
you let us go I still wonder why

(chorus)
'cause girl you left me and I
still don't know why no
explanation not even goodbye
ooh baby I still wonder why

so I sit in this house so empty
and cold it was warm in here
not so long ago I take in
memories that are starting to get
old searching for answers in this
broken home

(chorus)

I still wonder why
I still wonder why
I still wonder why
1st One to Fall in Love

I keep calling but you're
never around my messages
all get deleted somehow just
tell me baby if you don't want
me I'll understand I know it's
hard for you to commit you
keep insisting that you ain't
ready yet tell me baby if you
don't want me I'll understand

(chorus)
It's not the 1st time that I fell
for someone lately you've
been all I'm thinking of it seems
so different when it's you on
the run and not me it'll be the
last time I'm the 1st one to fall
in love
when I 1st met you we
did everything we were tied
together so emotionally maybe
I'm crazy when I feel you don't
want me around as time went
by you started staying at home
why am I thinking you ain't
staying home alone maybe I'm crazy
when I feel you don't want me around

(chorus)
sometimes love just isn't enough
sometimes we all get down on
our luck and while you figure it
out you're asking me for some
time well how much is too much

(chorus)
lately I've felt our love
slipping away and baby
I want you to know that's
no ok 'cause you mean
more to me than to let this
go so I'm standing here
right now to let you know

(chorus)
I'll do everything and
anything to bring us back
to where we used to be
we were so in love
couldn't get enough the
future was so easy to see
we had nothin' to lose but
now we do I really want to
see us through ooh baby
let's get back to what we're
used to

we can find whatever
it is we've lost I'll
give you whatever we
need no matter what the
cost I'm telling you girl we
can work this out as long as we
have each other
there's no doubt

(chorus)

we're gonna have hard times
gonna travel rocky roads
I know we're gonna make it
just as long as you know

(chorus)
Everyway
I must have done
something right to
have you here by
my side I feel I don't
deserve you most
days your love
completes me in so
many ways your
smile melts my heart
I can't imagine us
ever apart so warm
and gentle when you
touch my skin gives
me comfort deep
within

(chorus)
I'm sitting here
searchin' for the
words to say how
much you mean to
me I fall in love with
you a little more each
day you are my
everything in every
way

you're my soul mate
my one true love no
one else could ever
rise above you and I
were meant to be
together our love is
strong it will last
forever

(chorus)

(chorus)
Love Is

just when you think you
know what love is all
about then you find the
doubt and it drives you
crazy that's when you
find that nuthin stays the
same things will always
change and sure it sure ain't
easy love is what it is
and nothing else and
there's no way to figure
it out love is hat it is
full of joy and pain and
the less you know the
more you play the game
as time passes by the
harder you try you only
end up more confused might as well
give in it's
the way it's always been
just enjoy the ride and
crazy views
(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus)
love is what it is
and nothin' else
love is what it is
and you won't ever
figure out
love is what it is
don't you even try
love is what it is
'cause it's a crazy ride
