Perfect Sometimes
do do do do do do
We've been talking 'bout this thing called love
Probably something you've been dreaming of
It's the one thing that can make it right
It's like your coffee in the morning light
It's the sweetest thing you've ever seen
Orange tree among the evergreens
And when it looks like you can count me out
I'll bounce right back with a sparkle in my eye
You always gets me high
I get lonely sometimes
The sun and the sand and you and I
It's perfect sometimes
You wanna feel your feet in the sand
Wiggle your toes we can be on
A sundrenched island far out in the sea
A perfect place w/ a sweet melody
Just look around the only sound
A coconut be falling from the tree to da ground
I see the sun setting in your eyes
I steal a kiss beneath the starry ski-i-ies
You always get me high
I watch the waves roll by
The sun and the sand and you and I
It's perfect sometimes
do do do do do do
Just like a movie scene
Where you are the beauty queen
I'll be your leading man
We can go off and live our lives
On an island of Paradise
and we can have our sometimes
anytime -everyday -every night -what do you say
do do do do do do
We've been talking 'bout this thing called love
Probably something you've been dreaming of
It's the one thing that can make it right
Like a coffee in the morning light
It's the sweetest thing you've ever seen
Orange tree among the evergreens
And when it looks like you can count me out
I'll bounce right back with a sparkle in my eyes
Summer always gets me high
I get lonesome sometimes
The sun and the sand and you and I
It's perfect sometimes
do do do do do do

Beautiful Crime
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful Such a Beautiful crime
Would you come around
When the sun goes down
And meet me in my room
Would you bring that smile
Stay with me for a while
Daylight be coming soon
Lost love to impatience
Lost love to time
Fell into distance
And It was mine
We found different paths on to different days
Lost love to lies along the way
I know this ain't right
are we friends or lovers tonight
Slow things down
Take our time
Being with you is such a beautiful crime
Leave this night
Leave it all behind
But being with you is such a beautiful crime
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful - Such a Beautiful crime
What does tomorrow hold
Slow as it unfolds
And will your hand turn the page
In this moment now
Steady as I wonder how
I can pass the time without your ways
I know this ain't right
are we friends or lovers tonight
Slow things down
Take our time
Being with you is such a beautiful crime
Leave this night
Leave it all behind
But Being with you is such a beautiful crime
Are you in the mood
Underneath the moon
This familiar room
We spend our times so many night
And do feel this time is right
Slow things down
Take our time
Being with you is such a beautiful crime
Leave this night
Leave it all behind
Being with you is such a beautiful crime
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful - Such a Beautiful crime

Stay Close To Me
It's nice we say hello having a good day
While we play our part in someone else's play
But let's get to the point tell me how you feel
Is there something more that you'd like to say
Our time here is short and time is passing by
A hundred billion stars are passing in the sky
And we don't have the time to beat around the bush
Lets get to the point - give this another push
Are we still talking about nothing at all
Are we still banging our heads against the wall
We could be like two birds floating on the sea
And we won't have to talk just stay close to me
Just stay close to me stay close to me- stay close to me
It's happening again
Another false alarm a bunch of empty words blocking out the sun
Why do we have to read in between the lines
Just another song playing out of time
Are we still talking about nothing at all
Are we still banging our heads against the wall
We could be like two birds floating on the sea
And we won't have to talk just stay close to me
Just stay close to me stay close to me- stay close to me
Why do we have to wait till it's our last day until we say the words
We really want to say
So let's get to the point let's give this a push
Is there something more that you'd like to say?
Cause I won't always be here and you won't always be here
Tell me what you want make it crystal clear
But just stay close to me
Stay close to me - just stay close to me

Sometimes
We been driving with the top down
Another wasted conversation
You said you're going to be mine but you won't say -when
You want to hit the ground running
You want to push it on thru to sundown
Desert Highway Lines
Are running in --my head
Sometimes. We forget
What we come this far to get
Sometimes your not who you think you are
Sometimes when you're sure
That it's all been said before
Those crazy words are hanging in the air
What's it going to be this time like a second hand you unwind
You say you're coming home this time but the afternoon come and gone
You're so hard to love sometimes
I've been waiting for your phone call
I've been sitting here in the silence
You can keep everything except promises
And I wonder why I'm hanging on
Holding on to a fraying thread
Holding on to the thoughts of you
Like weight of lead
Sometimes we forget
What we've come so far to get
Sometimes were not who we need to be
Sometimes we regret when we should give thanks instead
For every moment of you and me
What's it going to be this time like a second hand you unwind
You say you're coming home this time but the afternoon come and gone
You're so hard to love -sometimes
When you're here
You blend into me
You make sense of this life
But I don't need to tell you that
Cause you know that I'm right
So What's its going to be this time like a second hand you unwind
You say you're coming home this time but the afternoon come and gone
You're so hard to love ----sometimes--

Deeper Waters
Don't wanna see you w/ another man
Just wanna tell you I've been thinking about you now
All these days, oh so far apart
Feels like yesterday, you were in my heart
Just remembering how our story starts
Even when the lights are dark
Even when were worlds apart
Even when you're falling hard
There's deeper waters
Even when you're feeling lost
And rain the is falling soft
Even when you're hanging on
There's deeper waters
Hand in hand in all my memories
Got me wondering what is meant for me
And you know I just want the best for you
I'm on the road now heading home to you
Tomorrow morning be laying next to you
Even when the lights are dark
Even when were worlds apart
Even when you're falling hard
There's deeper waters
Even when you're feeling lost
And rain the is falling soft
Even when you're hanging on
There's deeper waters
Cause I know
What is waiting for me
Heaven In your arms
Driving fast as the highway lets me
Leave your porch light on
Foot hard on the gas
Driving fast as I can
Small towns in a flash
Home as soon as I can be
Even when the lights are dark
Even when were worlds apart
Even when you're falling hard
There's deeper waters
Even when you're feeling lost
And rain the is falling soft
Even when you're hanging on
There's deeper water

Missed Again
I've been driving alone
I got those thoughts in my head again
you are my medicine
Well hey now baby won't you come around
In a little time & we can work it out
make it all feel fine
I missed again
I missed again
Mourning shakes my soul awake
Pulls me out of empty space
I'm on the move again
Running to and running from
Try to chase this setting sun
Don't chase this dream away
I missed again
I missed again
I missed again
I missed again
Rain clouds paint the desert black
Brings me back to where I'm at
I can see the weather changing
Up ahead around the bend
Rear view mirror my best friend
I can feel the weather changing
I missed again
I missed again
I missed again
I missed again
2x
I don't know why I just keep on missing
Feels like its slipping away
I don't know why I just keep on missing
Sometimes it feels like its slipping away |
You Don't Know Me
I see you staring out at sunset
Something heavy on your mind
The look that's on your face familiar
Got these tears that you been crying
I know that I've been gone for so long
But you could never get left behind
Far from you but you're in my heart
You will be through all time
Find some trust
Was hoping you believed in us
You think you know it all
So I need you to believe in me
You don't know me well
If you think I would
Run away from this
And build my life
Around this world we have
Hope that time don't tell
That you don't know me well
Why don't you sit down for a second
Maybe we could talk this out
Have a moment and some patience
We don't need to scream and shout
Just some trust and understanding
And some cushion when we fall
As long as we can stick the landing
You know we could have it..all
Find some trust
Was hoping you believed in us
You think you know it all
So I need you to believe in me
'Cause
You don't know me well
If you think I would
Run away from this
And build my life
Around this world we have
Hope that time don't tell
That you don't know me well
Start every week with a kiss on a cheek
Head starts spinnin' and my knees get weak
Wait till you see the shape your in
After I take your lips for a spin
Start every week with a kiss on a cheek
Head starts spinning and my knees get weak
Wait till you see the shape your in
After I take your lips for a spin
'Cause
You don't know me well
If you think I would
Run away from this
And build my life
Around this world we have
Hope that time don't tell
That you don't know me well

Moonlight
I'm wide-awake tonight
I've got something heavy on my mind
Came across your path your shadow in the night
When will time be on my side
Hypnotized by this
Life in full eclipse
Under moonlight
Tonight
Your eyes
Tempt me gently to your side
Can't Sleep
Can't dream
Cant leave
'cause I know you're alive
Lying next to me
Heaven sent and we shall
Fall & fade into this night
Don't know what to do I close my eyes see you
Tomorrow I have to catch a flight
Head back to my home
But maybe home is you
Guess I need to make up my mind
Questions come and go
Hard to ever know
But for now ...surrender to moonlight
Tonight
Your eyes
Tempt me gently to your side
Can't Sleep
Can't dream
Cant leave cause I know ur alive
Lying next to me
Heaven sent and we
Just fall & fade into this night
but it don't take much
to slip into the past
even if you wanted it
it don't seem to last
so easy to lean on yesterday
Time has come and gone and we're here to stay
for TONIGHT |
Gypsy Girl
In the morning
You come rising
Like the sun from the shadows
Over me and the ocean
When u hear its gonna be a good day
In the evening
Your in hiding
You go missing I’m wishing I was free of suspicion
& it didn't have to end up this way
I don't know why u come and go
& stay w/ me & promise that you will never leave
I've been waking up in a dream
I need all of what you offer to me
I've been waking up in a dream
So hard Gypsy Girl to set you free
When you’re with me
Time go quickly
Like a weekend like a summer am I just another number
Just memory to make up your past
Will you be back
or fade in to black
Keep on running down the highway or
Find me on a Friday
Something says Ill be crossing your path
I don't know why you come and go
& stay with me & promise that you will never leave
I’ve been waking up in a dream
I need all of what u offer to me
I’ve been waking up in a dream
So hard Gypsy Girl to set you free
Silent night
Laying by your side
In the dark
In your eyes I swear
I saw the light

Running With The Wind
These thoughts follow me
Where ever I go
No matter how far I run to
Cold blanket at night
Wind whispers a name
It calls out to me, please hear me
Clearly -I see
These days are changing like the weather
Don't stop don't go ….Feels right this timme cuz
Time and time again i run w/ the wind
Scatter like the leaves in the autumn breeze
And I can feel the sun pouring down on my skin
and all I want to be is forever and free
I'm running w/ the wind
Don’t know where I am
but I know what I left
and I dont need to hold my breath now
on the run w/ with my dreams
Got me up off my knees
No more shouting pleas, please hear me
Clearly -I see
These days are changing like the weather
Don't stop don't go ….Feels right this time cuz
Time and time again I run w/ the wind
Scatter like the leaves in the autumn breeze
And I can feel the sun pouring down on my skin
and all I want to be is forever and free
I'm running w/ the wind
Look out see the stars (they) tell you where you are
So vast is the night, but Im never far
Another day done, but I rise with the sun
Then Ill be gone
Time and time again you run w/ the wind
Scatter like the leaves in the autumn breeze
And I can feel the sun pouring down on me /skin
and all I want to be is what ever you need
but you run w/ the wind
|
On My Way
Well I’ve been going nowhere
Taking too much time just to get there
I don't want be out on my own
Its pulling me up its taking me down again
And I’ve been been traveling far
Sleeping in the backseat of my old car
Never been so far from home
Running in circles from where I started
And I didn't think u were listening
When I told u all things that I was missing
But I’m on my way now
Don't know if ill be back again
And where will you be tomorrow
And how much of your time can borrow
You know time heals all would
And maybe its time to be heading home again
And I didn't think u were listening
When I told u all things that I was missing
I’m on my way now
Don't know if I’ll be back again
Its all be said before but its behind us
Sometimes we need these things to remind us
They remind us
Now I’ve been looking out for something
I don't what happens when I find it
But I wouldn't trade this for a thing
Give and take taking me back again
And I didn't think u were listening
When I told u all things that I was missing
I’m on my way now
Don't know if I’ll be back again |

California
Yeah I’ve been outta work its been a long time & I'm down to my last dime
Sitting on the beach with the sand in my feet I'm soaking up the sunshine
Maybe I should care but I don't - I don't know what to tell ya
Yeah...I'm wasted down here in California
I woke up this morning its way past 10 another day here we go again
Thinking bout all the things that I gotta do -Its a whole Lotta nothing
I should get a job but I wont - I wouldn't want to spoil this
Hanging out every day and I'm loving every minute of it
Chorus
I live in California wasting away on a sunny day
I live down in California I don't mind just feeling fine
Wearing the same old torn up T-Shirt and its giving me a sunburn
I got no where to go and I got nothing to show- yeah but it could be worse
Maybe I should care but I don't - I don't know what to tell ya
I'm wasted down here in California
Chorus
Yeah Ive been outta work its been a long time and I'm down to my last dime
Spending my days watching time drift away soaking up the sunshine
I should have a job but I don't- I don't know what to tell ya
Yeah I'm wasted down here in California
Chorus

Right Here Right Now
There’s a piece of you inside of me
And it carries me wherever I go
You’re the one that I turn to
Won’t you promise me that you’ll
Smile just a little while longer
In this lovers’ playground
That we got
Oh right here right now
Oh right here right now
If you could change one thing about the world
Just one thing about me now
What would that one thing be?
If you could take just a little piece away
Just a little piece of today
Would you be taking me away with you?
Right here right now
Oh right here right now
People wait too long before they tell the one
Yeah and that’s a shame baby
I won’t be afraid to tell you that
I’m only half without you
I don’t need to be reminded
I’ve already decided
Right here right now
Oh right here right now
I found myself just tripping over melodies
Then I found you and it was perfect company
I don’t know if you know just what you been doing to me baby…

Love Me More
Seems like only yesterday I was on my own
Sleeping in, staying out late, and partying til the dawn
Now I got you in my life, got your clothes in your closet too
You take such sweet delight in telling me what to do
So get out of my bed, did you hear what I said
Baby I dont know, where you think that this can go
Let's leave this alone, I dont wanna come
And find you waiting at my door
It ain't that I don't love you girl, I just love me more
This got to end, I don't even know where it began
You say something, I'm not listening
Next thing we're in an argument
No more, do I get to hang out with my friends for sure
You've got your eyes on me, always checking to see
If I'm where I'm supposed to be
So get out of my bed, did you hear what I said
Baby I don’t know, where you think that this can go
Let's leave this alone, I dont wanna come
And find you waiting at my door
It ain't that I don't love you girl, I just love me more
I'm underqualified for commitment
I only studied for one degree
I'm underqualified for commitment
This bathroom's only big enough for me
So get out of my bed, did you hear what I said
Baby I don’t know, where you think that this can go
Let's leave this alone, I don’t wanna come
And find you waiting at my door
It ain't that I don't love you girl, I just love me more

We Can Do Anything
Yeah as soon as I finish this cigarette
I'm really gonna start thinking 'bout leaving this old town - Yeah this dead end town
Gonna pick up the phone and call up my girl and say baby pack your bags
Cause were leaving today- Gotta get away
Don't think about it at all - Don't think about anything
Chorus
Yeah lets get out of here we could drive all night
You can be Marylin Monroe yeah and I'll be James Dean
We could live our lives like there is no tomorrow
Whata say ...we could do anything
I'm so tired of hanging round going nowhere
I want to go where the Sunshine's even when it rains - Yeah let it rain
I don't even know where were going but were ever it is we will find our way
Just to get away
Don't think about it at all – Let’s not think about anything
Chorus
She said " boy you got some crazy ideas with your big dreams & your beat
up car ain't got a dollar between us
But if you wanna go then lets turn up the radio and let’s drive...
Chorus

American Girl
I met an American Girl
She said she was born down south
I hung onto every word that came that came from her candy colored mouth
and on the tip of my tongue I caught words
that i couldn't say to her
at least not today no not to her
She’s an American Girl - Yeah & I fell for the way
She wears her skirt so short showing off those American legs
She’s an American Girl - Yeah you know what I mean
Do you mind if I take off my shoes
She asked in her sweet-southern twang
I couldn't help but laugh when she smiles it looks like Jessica Lang
and on the border of imagination she would come to me and say lets start
romancing
She’s an American Girl - Yeah & I fell for the way
She wears her skirt so short showing off those American legs
She’s an American Girl - Yeah you know what I mean
She doesn't know Can’t see it at all
When she says Baby come on over and talk to me
And I'll be your American Girl
....she come to me... and says baby lets start romancing
She’s an American Girl - Yeah & I fell for the way
She wears her skirt so short showing off those American legs
She’s an American Girl - Yeah & I fell for those lips
Watching dancing like that shaking ??? like American hips
She’s an American Girl - Yeah & I lovin’ your way
She wears her skirt so short showing off those American legs
She’s an American Girl - Yeah you know what I mean

Dance Alone
Good Afternoon saying hi to everyone in the neighborhood
Strollin' down the street taking my sweet time
It‘s a pretty good afternoon when it feels like you got nothing to lose
Everything feels good everything is just fine
Why wait if you can pass out a smile everyday
You be surprised when your not shy everybodys neighborly
I can’t say but it seems to make me happy
Shuffling down the street with ruby shoes on my feet.
Chorus
I don't mind yeah I know it happens sometimes
You just gotta lose yourself to find your way home
I don't care everbody can stare at me
Sometimes you gotta dance alone
It feels good to me just to do what I do & do it my own way
It doesn't really matter what the people say
It’s always good to see a brand new face smiling back at me
This could be contagious and I'd like it that way
I don't really think that I wanna be somebodies idea what they think I
outta be
gotta be running when I hit the ground
It’s ok to live life a little different each day
Cause I don't want to ride on this merry go round
Chorus
repeat |
Seven Days
Promises don’t count for much they just lay on the floor
You know I’ve been down there many times before
If you think I'm joking just look into my eyes
& If this is a competition you are my first prize
Oh how I long to be home
But I'm out here on the road
Another town another show
And each day brings me closer to the end
A little bit closer to you
Chorus
They’ve got ways to ease my mind
Yeah & if it ain't working I’ll be drinking all the time
Might say I'm crazy yeah you might just be right
But singing ain’t the only thing I'll do
Seven days, seven days from you
Conversations don’t mean as much when you’re talking on the phone
Yeah & I’ve been thinking way too much I don’t even know
One last night one last show one more song
If I sing it loud enough will you hear me when I’m gone
Oh how I long to be home
But I'm out here on the road
Another town another show
And each day brings me closer to the end
A little bit closer to you
Chorus
Traveling down the road
A million miles from home
A million miles to go
Soon I’m coming home so won't you leave the light on for me
Chorus

Summertime
I can see you smile every once in a while
Yeah I remember you girl
Every day together the summer days forever
Yeah there just be love in the world
The things we used to say about places we would go
I told you things I’d only want you to know
When it came down to the time you were waving goodbye
We got the memories of us
Yeah it was the summer of love
(You and I)
You and I getting down in the summertime
Hanging on the beach
Soaking up the summer vibe
(Getting’ down in the summertime)
Nothing can take away the memories of those days
Just you and I hanging out
In the warm summer sun on the beach just having fun
It was good times without a doubt
We started off as friends and then we were best friends
And then we were lovers at last
When I look back upon those days and all the smiles on our face
Good times never last
Why couldn’t the summer last
Why couldn’t the summer last
(You and I)
You and I getting down in the summertime
Hanging on the beach
Soaking up the summer vibe
(Getting’ down in the summertime) |
Alright
Start smiling like its a sunny Friday
And pretty soon will all just be chilling like Sunday
Don't worry if you be running just a little bit late on time
Don't even hesitate and you might find
If you just relax it'll all come back to you
you know that you don't want to try to hard
Cause you might just fall apart
And you know there be not much more that we can do
So take it all in and enjoy everything that's around you
Chorus
So many things in life that are gold like a sun setting just deep into
your soul
Its All right
So many things in life that are good like a good friend telling you that
Every things all right
Start making all the plans for the weekend
Come Saturday afternoon we just be chillin with our friends
Another back yard BBQ playing my guitar but that be nothing new
It’s just another good day to throw another party
So why don't we just relax and let it all come back to you
You know that you don't want to try to hard
cause you don't want to fall apart
You know that there be not much more that we can do do do
So take it all in and enjoy everything that's be around you
Chorus
Looks like the summertime back again
these days of waiting on the weekend ever things alright
I'm watching the sun sink into the sand
I don't want these days to ever end - No I don't want these days to ever end
Chorus
|
Island time
Remembering back upon those days of my life
Lying down on beaches under palm trees rest assure paradise
And there be no where else I'd rather be tonight
Then back there watching sunsets setting ..yeah
Take me back to island time where everything was good
Where nothing really mattered but the friends that you love
And all the simple things that should
Chorus
Like reggae in the night & the beach in the moonlight
We would just dance the night away
The ocean over there sunshine everywhere
We could soak our days away
With out a care in the world and all the island girls
We could just love our lives away
Back on island time Back on island time
Yeah it feels like I’ve been taking a back seat to life these days
Hanging around in the sun & the sand
& you know every little thing feels ok
And I don't even know what I'm gonna be doing today
I might play a little guitar or drive in my car
Or I just might do
whatever I please... that's the island way
Hang down by the beach underneath the stars
Listening to the island beat
Chorus
I can see the waves waving back at me under auburn Sky's - golden seas
Warm days and endless warm nights we be chillin island style on island time
Chorus
