A Penny for your thoughts now baby

looks like the weight of the world's on your shoulders now

I know you think you're goin crazy
just when it seems everythings
gonna work itself out they drive you right back down
and you say it ain't fair that a man walks whan a bird can fly we have to kick the ground the
stars kiss the sky they say that spirits live a man has to die: they promised us truth now
they're givin' us lies
gonna take a miracle to save us this time and your savior has just left town gonna need a
miracle cause it's all on the line and I won't let you down
the river of your hope is floodin' and I know the dam is bustin if you need me i'll come runnin
I won't let you down oh no-you're lookin for salvation and you thought that it'd be shinin' like an angel's light well the
angels left this nation-- and salvation caught the last train out tonight (we lost a hell of a
fight)
he said I'm just one man, that's all i'll ever be I never can be everything you wanted from me
I've got big plans (so big) that any blind man could see-- i'm standing in the river now I'm
drownin in the sea
gonna take a miracle to save us this time and your savior has just left town gonna need a
miracle cause your heart's on the line and your heartbeats slowin' down
your feet are grounded still youre reachin for the sky you can let 'em clip youre wings cause I
believe that you can fly..
(solo)
well my eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the flood I've driven deep the thorny
crown into the soul of Someone's son-- still I look you in the eyes cause I believe the things
i've thought and I'll die without regret for the wars that i have fought
gonna take a miracle to save you this time and your savior has just left town gonna need a
miracle cause your hearts doin' time and your conscience is callin you out..... (conscience
callin..)
it ain't all for nothin life aint written in the sand I know the tide is comin' and it's time we
made a stand with a miracle...
gonna take a miracle.. I need a miracle.. na na na na a miracle (repeat/fade)
BLAZE
I wake up in the morningAnd I raise my weary headI've got an old coat for a
pillowAnd the earth was last night's bedI don't know where I'm goingOnly God
knows where I've beenI'm a devil on the runA six gun loverA candle in the wind
When you're brought into this worldThey say you're born in sinWell at least they
gave me somethingI didn't have to steal or have to winWell they tell me that I'm
wantedYeah, I'm a wanted manI'm a colt in your stableI'm what Cain was to
AbelMister catch me if you can
I'm going out in a blaze of gloryTake me now but know the truthI'm going out in a
blaze of gloryLord I never drew firstBut I drew first bloodI'm no one's sonCall me
young gun
You ask about my conscienceAnd I offer you my soulYou ask if I'll grow to be a
wise manWell I ask if I'll grow oldYou ask me if I've known loveAnd what it's like
to sing songs in the rainWell, I've seen love comeAnd I've seen it shot downI've
seen it die in vain

Shot down in a blaze of gloryTake me now but know the truth'Cause I'm going
down in a blaze of gloryLord I never drew firstBut I drew first bloodI'm the devil's
sonCall me young gun
Solo
Each night I go to bedI pray the Lord my soul to keepNo I ain't looking for
forgivenessBut before I'm six foot deepLord, I got to ask a favorAnd hope you'll
understand'Cause I've lived life to the fullestLet this boy die like a manStaring
down a bulletLet me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of gloryTake me now but know the truthI'm going out in a
blaze of gloryLord I never drew firstBut I drew first bloodAnd I'm no one's sonCall
me young gunI'm a young gun

SANTA FE
They say that no man is an island,And good things come to those who
wait.Things are here are there just to remind me,Every dog will have his day.The
spirits, They intoxicate me.I watch the people trade my soul.They try to say, It's
too late for me.Tell my guns I'm coming home.I swear I'm gonna live forever.Tell
my maker He can wait.I'm riding somewhere south of Heaven,Headed back to
Santa Fe.It's judgement day in Santa Fe.
Whats ours promised absolution.There's only one solution for my sins.Gotta face
your ghosts and know in no illusion,That only one of you is going home
again.And I blame this world, For making a good man evil.It's this world, that can
drive a good man bad.And it's this world, that turns a killer into a hero.Well I
blame this world for making a good man bad.No I ain't getting into Heaven,If the
devil has his way.I swear, I'm gonna live forever.Headed back to Santa Fe.Got
debts to pay in Santa Fe.It's judgement day in Santa Fe.Lord have mercy.
So I say a prayer, When I need it most,To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.And
sign it from a sinner with no name.Well, I'll meet my Maker when they close the
book,On the hearts I broke and the lifes I took.When you walk away cause my
souls too late to save.No I ain't getting into Heaven,If the devil has his way.I
swear I'm gonna live forever,headed back to Santa Fe.I got debts to pay in Santa
Fe.It's judgement day in Santa Fe.
NEVER SAY

As I sit in this smokey roomThe night about to endI pass my time with strangersBut this
bottle's my only friend
Remember when we used to parkOn Butler Street out in the darkRemember when we lost the
keysAnd you lost more than that in my backseat
Remember when we used to talkAbout busting out - we'd break their heartsTogether - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbyeYou and me and my old friendsHoping it would never
endNever say goodbye, never say goodbyeHoldin' on - we got to tryHoldin' on to never say
goodbye
Remember days of skipping schoolRacing cars and being coolWith a six pack and the
radioWe didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that nightYou and me we had a fightBut the band they played our
favorite songAnd I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so closeWe danced so slowAnd I swore I'd never let you goTogether - forever

Never say goodbye, never say goodbyeYou and me and my old friendsHoping it would never
endNever say goodbye, never say goodbyeHoldin' on - we got to tryHoldin' on to never say
goodbye
I guess you'd say we used to talkAbout busting outWe'd break their heartsTogether foreverHey man I'm alive I'm takin' each day and night at a time
BED OF ROSES
Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and

French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you on a bed of roses

For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

Well I'm so far away

That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry

The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

When you close your eyes

Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses

For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of roses
