Everybody thinks it¹s so easy Everybody thinks it¹s so fine But everytime I get a little closer to the top I find myself at the end of the line
You take a slow ride up And fast one down Nothin¹ gonna stop you spinnin round and round
Everybody¹s talkin at me But nothin¹s soundin right They say my future¹s lookin brighter But I don¹t see no light I got a bottle of hurricane It gets me high as a kite Now the rain¹s pissin down And the storm is in sight When the shit hits the fan You gotta stick to the fight
Everybody says the world owes me Everybody wants a free ride Well let me tell ya mister If you never raise a blister Then you might as well have laid down and died
Cause you ain¹t gettin out What you don¹t put in You¹re never gonna make it if Your head is in a spin
Everybody¹s talkin at me But nothin¹s soundin right They say my future¹s lookin brighter But I don¹t see no light I got a bottle of hurricane It gets me high as a kite Now the rain¹s pissin down and the storm in is sight When the shit hits the fan You gotta stick to the fight
Can you feel the heat, yea Comin down on you

Everybody needs a little place they can hide Somewhere to call their own Don't let nobody inside Every now and then we all need to let go For some it's the doctor For me it's rock and roll For some it's a bottle For some it's a pill Some people wave the bible Cause it's giving them a thrill Others point their finger If they don't like what they see If you live in a glass house Don't be throwing rocks at me
We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie But when the doors are closed There ain't nothin' he won't try Meanwhile Mr. Medicine's Treating his best friend's wife Tipper led the war against the record industry She said she saw the devil on her MTV To look into the cabinet It takes more than a key Just like Jimmy's skeletons And his ministry
We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright
Hit it nowSome people wave the bible Cause it's giving them a thrill You can spend your money Before you get your pay With a toss of the dice You can piss it all away
We all need a little shelter Just a little helper to get us by We all need a little shelter Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright
Waiting at the station Tears filling up my eyes Sometimes the pain you hide Burns like a fire inside Look out my window Sometimes it's hard to see The things you want in life Come and go so easily
She took the last train Out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make A brand new start She took the last train Out of my heart
Watching the days go by Thinking 'bout the plans we made Days turn into years Funny how they fade away Sometimes I think of those days Sometimes I just hide away Waiting on that 9:20 train Waiting on a memory
She took the last train Out of my heart ooo, ooo She took the last train And now I think I'll make A brand new start She took the last train Out of my heart
My lady's on the fly And she's never coming back My love is like a steam train Rolling down the tracks yea, yea

-chorus I just wanna be free...oh free like the wind and if the wind fills my sails then I'm never coming back again
maybe I'll head down south to New Orleans wouldn't have no taxes cause I wouldn't have the means looking for a genie that could fill my dreams but dreams become reality and real ain't what it seems to be
-chorus x2-
Sick for the cure on this roller coaster ride it can take you real low and it can get you real high just passin time, but time ain't on my side oh, guitar

-chorus- he said whoa, watch out boy don't go messin with your life cause it ain't no toy Lord help ya to carry life's load it could all pass you by down on dead man's road

Born and raised in a one dog town That never took a chance or a dare The times kept a changin' but it all passed 'em by The prejudices in the air Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five Kept my momma walking the floor But I had to draw the line for the very last time She kicked my ass out the door
It ain't always easy when you're living hand to mouth The more you put in, the less you get out It ain't always easy when you're living day to day It ain't always easy when you're tryin' to make your own way
Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make yor own way Nobody's gonna die for you
I remember rollin' dice on the run Looking for a winning hand We never stop to wonder at the wonders passing by Just searchin' for the promised land We met a mean old man Who dealt a dirty hand Promised we could touch the sky But the devil's his friend He put the pen in my hand Said you can pay me back after you die
It ain't always easy when you're living hand to mouth The more you put in, the less you get out It ain't always easy when you're living day to day It ain't always easy when you're tryin' to make your own way
Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make yor own way Nobody's gonna die for you
Ah, ah, ah sometimes you gotta walk the straight line Ah, ah, ah feel like I'm just doing time
Ooo, when life gets a little hard You gotta gotta ooo make your own way Sometimes you gotta make your own way Here we go
Ooo, sing it for 'em now, yeah Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make your own way Ain't nobody gonna die for you Make your own way When life's a little hard on you Make your own way Ain't nobody gonna die for you Make your own way You gotta gotta make your own way Make your own way Make your own way You gotta make your own way Make your own way Gotta make your own way Make your own way
When I was down An angel came to me And she touched me inside That woman set me free Turned on the light so I could see That there was fire inside And I could feel the heat
CHORUS She's got the power, she gets me high She can take a storm and make it shine She keeps the spark burning over time That woman's got electric love
There ain't no medicine That makes me fly Like when I'm with my sweet woman She keeps me so satisfied And if we had no money We'd still get by And if the world should stop turnin' Our love would be alive
If I hear you stalkin' Looking for sympathy You just keep on walkin' Actin' like you don't know me Ain't nothin' new for you Honey what you put me through Seven years ago today There ain't no other way
Once bitten now two cents shy Almost the apple of your daddy's eye
But your love Your love's gone bad Yea, yea, yea Your love Your love's gone bad
If I hear you talkin' Gettin' in my ear Listen to the words I say Let me make this very clear Don't ask for money Don't you think my name Everything was sunny Dream about it ain't the same
Once bitten now two cents shy Almost the apple of your daddy's eye
But your love Your love's gone bad Yea, yea, yea Your love Your love's gone bad
Once bitten now two cents shy Almost the apple of your daddy's eye
But your love Your love's gone bad Yea, yea, yea Your love Your love's gone bad Your love Your love's gone bad yea, yea, yea Your love's gone bad
I look into the mirror Can almost count the years The memories are clearer Of all those things I feared I watch the time pass slowly It comes and goes like the waves The sea can touch the sky at night It's got the freedom I crave
I'm going through changes in my life I'm going through changes It'll be alright
Look into a picture A thousand years are told Now is it any wonder What our tomorrows hold Our yesterdays are over You know they go so fast If I could rule the winds of change You know I'd make it all last
I'm going through changes in my life I'm going through changes It'll be alright Alright
I walked alone through the blackest night I felt the cold, I felt the bite I took the high road but it ain't right It's just the low road in disguise
I'm going through changes Ah yea Everything's gonna be alright, yea
Got to the top of an uphill climb Only to look down the other side Just when you think it's on your side This world will show you ain't no reason to the rhyme
I'm going through changes Ah yea Everything's gonna be alright
Times keep a changing every day Watch out now cause it's heading your way Ah yea Seems like the world turned upside down Seems like everything's falling down But it's all getting better every day Watch out now cause a good times heading our way Ah, every day Every day Every day Every day Every day Every day
When I get up in the morning Got a world of trouble on my mind And nothin seems too easy When your clock's tickin quarter to five Make my way down to the door Can't put my troubles on no shelf Cause when nobody worries for you You got to worry for youself
Cruisin in my four wheels It's got everything I need inside Think I'll stop and fill it up for the ride Man said that be twenty dollars Mister, by the way how's your health I said mister here's your money Now you keep your questions for yourself

And it's my life that I'm livin Wouldn't want to be no one else So if you don't like how I do it Fuckin keep it to yourself
Have mercy on a poor boy's heart Cause I got the key that can make your motor start Can't you love me Without messin' me around You took everything I got then kick me when I'm down Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine Don't lock me up I can't pay the fine Make up your mind before you make me lose mine Your love's got me doin' time
Have mercy on a poor boy's soul I've been down so long never thought I could feel so low First you love me Then you stab my back Close the door, turn the key, all I can see is black Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil

Mama sometimes I feel inside There's nothing I can say Nothing I can do Could ever match the love you gave You taught me how to live Told me walk before you run And you were always there to pick me up Everytime I'd have a fall
And mama I know there's been times When I didn't always understrand By and by we do some growing up And it makes just a little more sense But sometimes it's hard to find the words But I'll do the best that I can Thank you for the love mama It's what made this boy a man
I know the road's been long And I know you've seen some rain Making the best of what we had I never heard you complain When I look in the mirror today Wondering could I be as strong Could I give as much to someone else As you gave to your son
And mama I know there's been times When we didn't see eye to eye By and by we do some growing up And we understand the reasons why But sometimes it's hard to find the words But I'll do the best I can Thank you for the love mama It's what made this boy a man, yea

Well I've been walkin Down a one way dirty street Tryin to find the answers And I've been hopin For a chance to meet The rat that spread the cancer
And the lies they've been spinnin And the smiles they've been grinnin There has sure been some sinnin But nobody's winnin When the walls start to crumblin You feel like you're stumblin And nobody wants you when you're down
They took the boy from the city But they can't take the city from the boys lookin' pretty Now he's lookin like a pity Cut the flesh down to the bone But you can't get You can't get blood from a stone You can't get blood from a stone
Well I'm a rollin But my train's gone off the tracks and my wheels are spinnin And I'm a walkin Down a one way dirty street But my heart's not sinkin
From the love they've been buyin And the blues they've been cryin Now the time keeps a flyin But nobody's tryin Cause the love of the money Didn't turn out so sunny When the well's dry No one comes around
They took the boy from the city But they can't take the city from the Boys lookin pretty Now he's lookin like a pity Cut the flesh down to the bone But you can't get You can't get from a stone
You can try But I still got the fight in my eyes Suck it dry Cause I've had about enough of your lies
They took the boy from the city But they can't take the city form the Boys lookin pretty Now he's lookin like a pity Cut the flesh down to the bone But you can't get blood from a stone
They took the boy form the city But they can't take the city from the Boys lookin pretty Now he's looking like a pity Cut the flesh down to the bone But you can't get You can't get blood from a stone
I see people walking down the street Got their heads so high They can't see their feet With their blinders on They walk the endless mile Working for that perfect life of style
But I'm lookin' for a better way Something in my life Nothing ever seems to satisfy I reach my hands out to the sky And I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I'll be climbing for the rest of my life I'm still climbing ooo yea I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I hear people talkin' all day long Got their minds made up They can't do no wrong With their hearts so cold They never ever feel Losing touch with everything that's real
But I'm lookin' for a better way Something in my life Nothing ever seems to satisfy I reach my hands out to the sky And I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I'll be climbing for the rest of my life I'm still climbing ooo yea I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
Ooo in the darkest hour Feel I'm sinkin' low But I'll reach higher
Now I'm lookin' for a better way Something in my life Nothing ever seems to satisfy I reach my hands out to the sky And I'll be climbing Ooo I'm still climbing Ooo yea
I'll be climbing for the rest of my life I'm still climbing ooo yea I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I'll be climbing for the rest of my life I'll be climbing for the rest of my life I'm still climbing I'll be climbing for the rest of my life I'll be climbing for the rest of my life

Through The Rain by Cinderella I know it's hard In a world gone mad To find the truth To understand And I know it's hard To turn the page To walk the line To have the faith But sometimes when it's light And you can see Sometimes when this world Just seems to be so cold Sometimes when you're lost at sea Drowning in your pain Sometimes the sun shines through the rain I know it's hard In a world so cold To feel the love I know it's hard And I know it's true That in the end We all find our way And that's life my friend But sometimes when it's light And you can see Sometimes when this world Just seems to be so cold Sometimes when you're lost at sea Drowning in your pain Sometimes the sun shines through the rain World keeps turning Nothing changes Hope this time We can rearrange the stars It can't be that hard no Sometimes when it's light And you can see Sometimes when this world Just seems to be so cold Sometimes when you're lost at sea Drowning in your pain Sometimes the sun shines through the rain Sometimes when it's light And you can see Sometimes when this world Just seems to be so cold Sometimes when you're lost at sea Drowning in your pain Sometimes the sun shines through the rain Ooo let it shine Shine through the rain Ooo let it shine Shine through the rain Sometimes the sun shines through the rain Don't you know it's gonna shine yea Shining down on you Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
I'm running free But I ain't got no time to fly And I can see But tomorrow maybe I'll be blind I met a man with a cup Looking pretty beat up He stared straight into my eyes He said today you may be rich But tomorrow you'll be poor And the next day you could die
I said it's easy come And it's easy go Don't go cryin' on my shoulder Cause I won and lost more than you could know I always find a way To make it through another day Cause when all you got's your pride Ain't nobody gonna take it away
I'm movin' fast Always feelin' two steps behind Forget the past If it's the only way to ease my mind Some fortune telling lady With her face a little crazy Stared straight into my eyes She said I'd love to help you son But this one you can't out run I sure as hell can give it a try
Cause it's easy come And it's easy go Don't go cryin' on my shoulder Cause I won and lost more than you could know I always find a way To make it through another day Cause when all you got's your pride Ain't nobody gonna take it away
Take it one breath at a time Cause we're all just walking the line I'll be doin' just fine When tomorrow's out of sight and out of mind
Cause it's easy come And it's easy go Don't go cryin' on my shoulder Cause I won and lost more than you could know I always find a way To make it through another day Cause when all you got's your pride Ain't nobody gonna take it away, yea Cause it's easy come And it's easy go
Growing up as a young boy Sometimes can be rough At six years old I was thinkin' Seven would be just enough But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong yea Ten years old and I'm growin' Thinkin' I got it sussed Mama said you'll be a fine young man I thought I already was But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong
Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long
Eighteen years I'm a rebel Thinkin' I'm pretty tough Daddy said you got a lot to learn I thought that I'd learned enough But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong yea Twenty-five was a good time Comin' into my own Climbed the mountain And I reached for the sky I thought that I had it all But I was wrong Ooo I was wrong
Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long When you get where you're going The road's still long
They all try to tell you But who are they to say Cause the best things that you learn You find out on your way No time for feelin' sorry Just time for being strong When you get where your going The road's still long
Now I see where I come from Now I see where I am Now I see that you never really know So you just gotta do the best you can And that ain't wrong Ooo that ain't wrong no Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long When you get where you're going The road's still long When you get where you're going yea
