Beyond the cost of diesel fuel
And the tearing down of my old high school I still think about her The nation's rising deficit And my fatal crave for cigarettes They all make me think about her My life's one big catastrophe So don't expect too much from me I'm just hanging on Surviving Emily My T-shirt that she always wore Her makeup in the bathroom drawer I can't get away from her Her perfume on my pillow case When I close my eyes, I always see her face Sometimes I wish I were blind My life's one big catastrophe So don't expect too much from me I'm just hanging on Surviving Emily Oh Emily can you hear me I'm callin' out your name Rescue me from these lonely days And sleepless nights They're driving me insane I tried to stop this endless search Even started going back to church But I still feel the same And my friends all say I'm doing fine It's just gonna take a little time Oh yeah nothing's changed My life's one big catastrophe So don't expect too much from me I'm just hanging on Surviving Just hanging on Surviving I'm barely hanging on Surviving Emily Yeah... |

I saw some old friends the other day
And all they could talk about was how I've changed They thought I'd be the last one to ever settle down They can't believe I'm flyin' so high with both feet on theground [*Chorus*] And you make me want to be a better man And you make me want to be the best I can I feel a little stronger every time you hold my hand You make me want to be a better man Now there was a time when I ran wild as a Texas wind Never slowin' down enough to ever let that party end Woah, then your love surrounded me like the shelter from thestorm Woah baby you believed in me like no one has before... [*Chorus*] And you make me want to be a better man And you make me want to do the best I can I feel a little stronger every time you hold my hand You make me want to be a better man Well you know sometimes I stumble... Yeah, everybody does But you keep me reaching for the man I can be... And not the man I was, no I feel a little stronger every time you hold my hand You make me want to be a better man, oh baby You make me want to be a better man |

The rumble of the engines in the station almost put me to sleep
And the wino covered up with yesterday's news is lying next to me I see a red-haired girl with ponytails reminding me of you I don't know why I left it was somethin' I had to do Looking out the window the skyline fades away When I see your face I have no idea what I'm gonna say I've got a picture of me holding you right here in my hands I recognize my face but I don't know who I am Now I'm gonna catch a Greyhound Getting out of this town I'm gonna catch a Greyhound back to you I close my eyes, but I can't seem to sleep And the past rolls through my mind like a river cold and deep Morning comes and the sky begins to rain It feels good to feel something even if it's pain Now I'm gonna catch a Greyhound Getting out of this town I'm gonna catch a Greyhound back to you It's amazing how a tender voice on the other end of the phone can change your mind, your life, your plans just by saying "Daddy, please come home" Gonna catch a Greyhound Getting out of this town I'm gonna catch a Greyhound back to you Yes, I'm gonna catch a Greyhound Getting out of this town I'm gonna catch a Greyhound back to us I'm starting my life over on a Greyhound bus |

I'm far from perfect babe
I know it's true but I guess nobody has to tell you I don't always listen and I talk too much I think I'm in tune when I'm out of touch Baby Don't tell me I've done it again There's a tear on your face with my name on it And at this moment it must be hard to see but I am not the enemy [Chorus] Lay your defenses down I'll put my arms around you put your arms around me Baby I'm on your side Someday I'll get it right How can I make you see I'm not the enemy I don't call when I'm comin' home late And there's three little words that are hard for me to say I'm not so good at all those little things But baby I am not the enemy [Chorus] Lay your defensed down This ain't no battleground How can I make you see I am not the enemy |

Those rodeo clowns
They seem so funny But in a way they're kinda sad too But those rodeo clowns Don't make much money She smiles and says yeah kinds like you I'm lost in the sand But all she sees is a pearl She says she loves me But sometimes I make her feel Like the loneliest girl in the world Sometimes I'm right here And sometimes I'm not Sometimes my heart turns to rust Sometimes I like me Sometimes I don't She smiles and says yeah that makes two of us I'm lost in the sand But all she sees is a pearl She says she loves me But sometimes I make her feel Like the loneliest girl in the world Some things in life You can't understand And I don't know why But when I hold her hand She says she loves me 'Cause sometimes I make her feel Oh my baby loves me 'Cause sometimes I make her feel Like the luckiest girl in the world |

You say you're alone when you're with me
And I don't care about the way you feel inside You say the weight's all on your shoulders Baby you say I never tried But I tried runnin' from the way I feel about you And I tried walkin' away from all the lies And I tried leavin' but I couldn't live without you And I never said goodbye, oh, but baby I tried We judge ourselves by our intentions And others by the way they live their lives I always meant to do the right thing But how can you say that I never tried? 'Cause I tried runnin' from the way I feel about you And I tried walkin' away from all the lies I tried leavin' but I couldn't live without you And I never said goodbye, oh, but baby I tried Whatever it is about you Keeps pullin' me back into your web I can't put my finger on it Whatever it is I ain't figured it out yet No, I tried runnin' from the way I feel about you And I tried walkin' away from all the lies And I tried leavin' but I couldn't live without you And I never said goodbye, oh, but baby I tried Baby I tried, oh yeah |

Yes I 've been with someone new
She's a good woman too But she can't compare to you Chorus: The more time that I spend with her The more I see what it's about She's someone I can live with but you're the one that I can't live without She has brown eyes like you Picks me up when I'm feelin' blue Showers me with her love But somehow it's not enough Chorus I know we said it's over But I just can't let you go 'cause no one compares to you Chorus The more time that I spend with her The more I see what it's about She's someone I can live with You're the one that I can't live without You're the one that I can't live without I can't live without you I can't live without you |

I knew I shouldn't love her
We were only seventeen But I've always been a sucker For long blonde hair and eyes so green But I had to leave her Leave her in my past It wasn't my first broken heart I know it's probably not my last It's just another heartache And I don't even wonder why It's just another woman Who's tellin' me goodbye It's just another sad song That I'll sing again tonight Will I hit the big time with records that sell gold Or will I sit on a stool at the Rock Away Grill Playin' Neil Young 'til I'm old? All I ever wanted was to be happy and to be free But sometimes it takes so much Just to bring those things to me It's just another mountain That I'm gonna have to climb It's just another secret That I'm gonna have to find It's just another sad song That I'll sing again tonight Do do do do do do do do do.....sing it to me baby Just another sad song There's no use in complaining But I do it anyway I don't mind workin' hard But it's sure hard working every day It's just another story That I'm gonna have to write It's just another long day I'll ride on through until the night It's just another sad song That I'll sing again tonight Do do do do do do do...sing it to me baby It's just another sad song Just another sad song Sing it to me baby Just another sad song |

(
I grew up here on Bourbon Street Playin' for the beer and tips Livin' by the Poncha Train Watchin' drunks and sailin' ships I'm sittin' on a midnight train Gonna bury momma on my birthday And never's gonna be too soon To see these streets of Vieux Carre' Thirty years ago Momma was a pretty bride She took this train to New Orleans Made a mask for Mardi Gras And never took it off it seems Daddy drank away their honeymoon He never wore his wedding band They fought just like a hurricane But she fell in love with Dixieland Now I'm on a train to nowhere To find the future in my past I'm on a train to nowhere Feelin' like a no one How long will this last? Goin' nowhere fast Nine months later to the day She labored deep into the night I was the baby in her arms And she was weakened by the fight I grew up fast I grew up hard The alleyways were my backyard Momma sang at Pat O'Riley's And I sat in with the band on Fridays Now I'm on a train to nowhere To find the future in my past I'm on a train to nowhere Feelin' like a no one How long will this last? Goin' nowhere fast Tonight we'll cross the Mason-Dixon line Finally takin' Momma home She will find a restin' place Beneath the garden made of stone And I came here to find tomorrow Now I hear my station name If I can just forget my past Maybe I can start again Now I'm on a train to nowhere To find the future in my past I'm on a train to nowhere But this trip will be my last Yeah if I can just get goin' And get myself on track Off this train to nowhere It's goin' nowhere fast... |
