Lookin’ For A Love Looking for a love that’s gone away Thinking of the things to make her stay But I never listened to what she had to say Looking for a love that’s gone away If I don’t find her anyway I’m always looking for a better day When I first saw her walking by the sea I remember how she got to me Was she just a summer love? Or maybe something from above Like the water flows away so free Somehow that girl slipped away from me As days go by it’s getting hard to remember Was it June? Or late September? I guess the time don’t really matter I just think of the times that I had her Walking on the sand She’d run to me and grab my hand So here I go on another ride that spins Another race I can’t win Gather up what’s left of me I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be Looking for a love that’s gone away Thinking of the things to make her stay But I never listened to what she had to say Looking for a love that’s gone away If I don’t find her anyway I’m always looking for a better day Two ships pass in the night Maybe she won’t, maybe she might Maybe she will if you tell her to She just need a little persuading on what to do We be conversating, procrastinating ‘Cause I don’t know why the hell we’re still waiting She be acting like I should be waiting in line And yeah I got a clock girl but I aint got the time It’s summertime with the sunshine coming through I got a reservation for a party of two I had a love but it came and went I guess I just didn’t take the hint If you don’t make the move someone else willing to She got me caught up in a Twenty Two When I showed up it was just too late She said her love could no longer wait Looking for a love that’s gone away Thinking of the things to make her stay But I never listened to what she had to say Looking for a love that’s gone away If I don’t find her anyway I’m always looking for a better day Long summer days no end in sight When it came to having fun we did it right But like all good things that come to an end I just want to do it over again Didn’t take time to stick out I have no doubt what it’s about She said it was just a summer fling It was never supposed to mean anything Those hot summer nights have come and gone I think we both did each other wrong I can’t think of anything more to say Did we have something good and throw it away I only think about you in this song My memories of you are not too long Maybe we’ll meet another day Another starlit night on a moonlit bay Looking for a love that’s gone away Thinking of the things to make her stay But I never listened to what she had to say Looking for a love that’s gone away If I don’t find her anyway I’m always looking for a better day

Daylight Comes Too Fast Long nights you been here before No need to guess you know what’s in store Young girl first time on your own Not a friend to call now you’re all alone Looking lost trying not to be found Sleep outside you’ll find hard ground Pulls up the pillow close to her face Another tomorrow, another chase She’s the one with the short dress on Make a man sell everything that he own She got all the skills she needs To make a man want a beg and plead High heels long brown hair The lack of clothes makes them all stare Dressed to kill out for the night Standing on the corner by the street light Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere) It gets you nowhere (nowhere) Daylight comes too fast (too fast) Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere) It gets you nowhere (nowhere) Daylight comes too fast (too fast) Now the long night turned into an early morning The sun’s coming up still not yawning She said I got nowhere to go But if you find it would you let me know Living on stress and cigarettes A life of risk and no regrets Now she’s turning, turning, turning in a spin Going places that you never want to go again She said that she was going start living good You said you will but you won’t like I knew you would No bed frame she refrains from sleep Her dreams keep her awake from the fears she keeps So forget about the past, nothing everlast Everyone’s an actor just one of the cast Playing out their part, doing what you can You know there aint no mercy on this land Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere) It gets you nowhere (nowhere) Daylight comes too fast (too fast) Running down a one way street gets you nowhere (nowhere) It gets you nowhere (nowhere) Daylight comes too fast (too fast) Nowhere (nowhere) Nowhere (nowhere) Nowhere (nowhere) It gets you nowhere (nowhere)

Evangeline 04:15
Evangeline Evangeline was just sixteen When she had her baby girl She may never be a beauty queen But she’ll always be my pearl Down at the end of an endless road Is where she stayed She always did just what she’s told Gave up the plans she made What is justice if it’s always blind It must be the reason when it can’t seem to find Any evidence at the scene When dirty hands get off clean The guiltiness rests on their head While the innocent pays for it all instead The drama that you bring all it seems to breed Is hatred, envy, jealousy and greed. I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes It always comes back around too slow I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes It always comes back around too slow Too slow, too slow, too slow Too slow, too slow, too slow I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes It always comes back around too slow When the moonlit every piece of the ground Evangeline thought of a way to leave town She grabbed the kid, a bag full of clothes Headed down the road, no place to go Stayed overnight a rundown motel Little sleep from the next room’s yells Gunshots rang out in the air No one hit a bad aim or to scare So she checked out like she done times before Face the world on the other side of the door Got to do whatever it takes To make sure that they get all the breaks Got to get out never look back again Do what you got to do, hope it aint a sin Been running so long you forgot why you ran Hope you don’t end up where it all began I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes It always comes back around too slow I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes It always comes back around too slow Too slow, too slow, too slow Too slow, too slow, too slow I feel it when it comes, I need it when it goes It always comes back around too slow Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline Evangeline, Evangeline

Miles and Miles Got up off the barstool headed out the door Jumped up in my car put the pedal to the floor Just enough liquor to make it easier to bear I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there Just another night kinda like all the rest Got up on stage tried to give it my best Showed ‘em what I got hoping that they cared I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there Stop, look around see where the weather blows Where it’s headed is probably where I’m going go I’ve made up my mind and now I want to know How long will I have to wait for you to show Two souls passing in the night The chance is gone it’s just not right I never make the move but then again I might I can’t see the stars at night cause the lights are bright Miles and miles (Miles and miles) Highway lights gonna make you blind All those miles gonna numb your mind Miles and miles (Miles and miles) Highway lights gonna make you blind All those miles gonna numb your mind Two days since your still on my mind About the girl I never met and may never find I saw you today you stood out in the crowd I tried to holler for you but the crowd was too loud Each passing day you do what you must Watch what you say who do you trust The feelings that you tried to chase hoping they cared I don’t know where I’m going but I’m headed there Days are too short, nights are too long Lonely you wonder just what went wrong The fear of the future grips at your chest Will you ever be home or always a guest Ghost in the shadows that close on the heart Become a memory then torn apart Sorrow is heavy a cross that he bears Still hoping somewhere there’s someone who cares Miles and miles (Miles and miles) Highway lights gonna make you blind All those miles gonna numb your mind Miles and miles (Miles and miles) Highway lights gonna make you blind All those miles gonna numb your mind Miles and miles, miles and miles Miles and miles, miles and miles (Miles and miles) Highway lights gonna make you blind All those miles gonna numb your mind Highway lights gonna make you blind All those miles gonna numb your mind Miles and miles, miles and miles (Miles and miles)

Trials and Tribulations Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan Going through trials and tribulations Always seeking jubilations Elations, frustrations What you need to do is practice some patience When you say nothing every seems to change Stop your life and try to rearrange Find all the players put ‘em in their place Move ‘em on the board into the next space And just count all your steps ahead Watch it unfold before it’s said And you hope they get the message you send Before you finally reach the end Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan Take a picture and remember the way we were ‘Cause this night’s gonna end up in a blur My only competition I see is in the mirror If I could only get my life to be a little clearer What I’m hearing is a voice inside my ear Telling me to leave the past behind in the rear But I can’t help looking over my shoulder And thinking of the things that I could have told her I turn back around and I face the future You’re a wildflower aint no one can ever root you 365 times the world’s spun And I’m still trying to unravel all the damage that you’ve done You gotta me on the outside looking in I’m on the road next week I’ll be home again What is life without risk, what is life without living? What is life if you don’t use everything that you’re given Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan What’s that creeping up behind you Always there to remind you To remind you of the things you’ll never see again And all the things you want to be but couldn’t see until the end Just me and you looking through a smoky haze Just me and you going through a lonely day Just me and you trying to make things last Now you wound up in my past, funny how it went so fast Now you’re running never at a slower speed Grabbing all the things that you think you need And you wonder which turn you made was wrong Aint it funny how it didn’t last so long Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan If you hate it fold your arms If you love it clap your hands If you hate it fold your arms If you love it clap your hands Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan If you hate it fold your arms If you love it clap your hands Bring Sally up, Bring Sally down Lift and squat gotta tear the ground Old miss Lucy’s dead and gone Left me here to weep and moan

Color My Dreams Close my eyes it takes me to the places that I go Some I have never seen others I been there before A daydreamer just looking for the night That’s the only time I see ‘em they’re allergic to the light Its dark I can’t see what’s in front of me Or behind cause a feeling came up suddenly So I let it go, I let it be Gather up all the things that are close to me Every day I wake up with a new face In a new place with some steps to retrace Relive all my struggles and strife When I go to sleep I lead a double life Nothing is real, nothing ever seems the same Do I have the chance to even try to make it change What do you see when you color my dreams? What is revealed aint nothing like it seems It aint nothing like it seems It aint nothing like it seems It aint nothing like it seems When you color my dreams Colors of the schemes come to paint my dreams What is revealed aint nothing like it seems Spent my whole life trying to be what I dream Trying to keep it all sowed up at the seems Still I wake up wondering what it all means Go back to sleep and create another scene Feed their egos to serve your needs ‘Cause the ends justify all the means Deception, manipulation of the mind Distorted perceptions make blurred lines What you see just depends on what you focus It’s so near yet you can’t perceive its closeness When your illusions are shattered And your heart is splattered Against the walls of deceit Will you begin to retreat? What do you see when you color my dreams? What is revealed aint nothing like it seems It aint nothing like it seems It aint nothing like it seems It aint nothing like it seems When you color my dreams

Willow Weeps 03:57
Willow Weeps The willow weeps The secrets that you keep And you can catch all of my dreams Every time I fall fast asleep (x2) Born in a land I can’t call my own A place where my forefathers roamed Land of the free, home of the brave Now all I see are forgotten graves They took our spirits changed our name To try to make us all look the same Pledge allegiance to Uncle Sam But you’ll never change who I am The willow weeps The secrets that you keep And you can catch all of my dreams Every time I fall fast asleep (x2) While we were trying to be the same Everything around us changed I’m the one that’s from here Why they looking at me strange Move us from our home to a foreign land Then they cut us down every time that we ran But if running was the thing to do Where would we run to? Under the blare of a bugle’s horn They came and burned the corn With a bible in one hand A gun in the other They stole my sister And killed my brother The willow weeps The secrets that you keep And you can catch all of my dreams Every time I fall fast asleep (x2) Left, right, left I am a soldier Where my soldiers at? Left, right, left I am a soldier Where my soldiers at? The streams you drank from we can no longer drink The thoughts I thought before I can no longer think And every time I take another breath I wonder how many breaths that I’m gonna have left The wind whispers as the willow weeps There’s a secret out there that we cannot keep We got our pride and that’s something we can’t hide They say don’t show what you know on the outside The willow weeps The secrets that you keep And you can catch all of my dreams Every time I fall fast asleep (x2) Left, right, left I am a soldier Where my soldiers at? Left, right, left I am a soldier Where my soldiers at?

Too Hot To Handle Got me sitting up another night drinking Cause my life’s moving faster than I was thinking As I travel on this road to glory Every scar I have tells its own story And if I seem a little frantic It’s only cause I’m in a panic And everything seems so hard I can’t stand it I didn’t plan it to work out this way So be careful just what you say If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop ‘Til we’re sitting on the top If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop Drop, drop, drop, drop Got me sitting on the bubble Hoping that it don’t pop Troubles double And I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop When I got to the well it always come up dry Time and again no matter how hard I try And I wish I could fly away from it all But I can’t now that I heard the call So I keep it moving in a positive flow Cause you always reap just what you sow If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop ‘Til we’re sitting on the top If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop Drop, drop, drop, drop Climbing to the top hoping that I don’t drop And I won’t stop and I won’t stop I couldn’t spell quit if you gave me all four letters Everyone thinks they can but they can’t do it better And I don’t know if it’s just because the moon moves the ocean And I’m in between the middle and I can’t control the motion How can I control it? All I control is my own Continue seeking out all the truths that are unknown I’m in my zone If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop ‘Til we’re sitting on the top If the handle’s too hot hold it don’t drop Cause the feeling that I got just won’t stop And it won’t stop, and it won’t stop ‘Til we’re sitting on the top

Light It Up 04:35
Light It Up I wake up thankful for the day Know it’s gonna be okay This urge I won’t have to curb Cause I always got the herb And all I got to do is light it This feeling don’t fight it And all I got to do Is let it come over invite it (x2) When the dreadlocks gather around They bring that reggae sound When the dreadlocks are near That riddims all you hear Just let the music play Let the sound go and take you away This is all provided by the R.I.S.K. Roll it up with the best Pass it on to the left Flick my bic spark a flame If you got one do the same Kush is my cologne jones Kush is my cologne First thing in the morning Last thing at night, I put it on On the island I met a Jamaican He called me over some plans we were making He said meet me in the back of the shed I got something here for your head He brought me weed and he called it Blue Mountain Or so Andy Cap told me so He said a man done pick it by a fountain Upon a hill where it loves to grow I wake up thankful for the day Know it’s gonna be okay This urge I won’t have to curb Cause I always got the herb And all I got to do is light it This feeling don’t fight it And all I got to do Is let it come over invite it (x2) Flick my bic that’s my lighter Till the flame gets higher Till the flame ignites sets it all on fire When it all goes up sets the forest ablaze Tthese smoke filled rooms Will leave ‘em sitting in a daze If you say you cannot feel it Then you must not be hitting it right Cause what I’m packing here Will take you up to new heights If you’re up on it and you want to fly Then don’t let it pass you by Cause it’s coming back around for another try Chilling at a place where lighters go missing Blunts are rolled with expert precision I got so much grass you would think I need to mow I just set it on fire then I breath it in slow Then blow out the smoke I jump on the mic you don’t hear me choke Negativity can’t attract to positive vibes Chief kief I be chiefing like I run the tribe I wake up thankful for the day Know it’s gonna be okay This urge I won’t have to curb Cause I always got the herb And all I got to do is light it This feeling don’t fight it And all I got to do Is let it come over invite it (x2) Then I light it all up
