Like the Young Guys Do
03:45
|

All the girls and the guys hear the call of the wild
And head out to howl at the moon
And before you can plan someone says it again
Like it was something that you never knew
Well if times get tough, if the feeling is rushed
You could take the next avenue
‘Cause the sound of the street is the sway and the beat
So do just what you’re gonna’ do
I hit the scene, I was cut, I was lean, I was recognized
Had my mind on my looks
Tryin’ to learn things that books never emphasized
Had a pump in my veins like I never knew
I was breaking hearts like the young guys do
I hit the scene, I was tough, I was mean, I was amplified
You said take some time to find your kind
But you can’t and you won’t
‘Cause it all leads back to you
Yes you always do
There’s this feeling that you can’t fight
And it takes just one night
Some folks will say that it ain’t right
But if you take just one bite

The Fever
03:09
|

If you’ve got time and a little money
We’ve got places to go
A one way ticket to Vegas
Headed out of Ohio
I can feel this fever coming on
75 miles an hour
22 hours to go
For you it’s fun ‘cause you don’t know what I’ve done
I can’t say but it’s on the tip of my tongue
I can feel this fever coming on
We’ll bed down in Tucumcari
Where the neon’s like a string of pearls
Tomorrow comes we’ll keep ramblin’
Away from that eastern sun
I can feel this fever coming on

My One & Only
03:00
|

Yes I like to always get what I want
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m asking for
You see I got myself into this little lovin’ situation
So I figured I’d move you in and keep moving on
If I feel myself turning into something I’m not
Gettin’ back less than I give
And giving out more than I got
Just tell me, “Honey, I know you can live down this reputation
‘Cause I know what we’ve built and we built it strong”
If my head catches up with my heart
If the feeling that I had at the start
May not be the way I always thought it would be
So come on take me by the hand
And tell me that you understand
Help me to see the way I always thought it could be
I’ve been with the sinners and the saints
I’ve seen it all turn out the same
There’s no problem that I see
It will come to me
As long as I can let go of the strain
Of living with my one and only
This big ‘ol house ain’t lonely
It ain’t lonely

Song about November
03:07

Thought I’d write a song about November
Last time I saw you it was September
Oh wait, that was a phone call on your part
Your voice was oh, so pretty
And it was nice to catch up
I’ve had my sights set on November
My diary says that it’s lonely here
And all I wanna do is have you near
With your face lookin’ out the window
Like you don’t care
Well that’s just your social way
So will I see you at the station?
Or wait where we once lived?
Or the mean?
I don’t mean to confuse you now
I’m just sad we never happened again
Thought I’d smoke some pot to toast your memory
Seems it’s all I can do to keep my head straight
Why don’t we get fucked up this night?
I just want to dull our senses
And wind up in your arms
Though I’m better off sleeping alone
But we’ve come too far
Yes we’ve come too far

Into the Deep
04:27
|

I woke up feeling tired after sleeping for weeks
Looking for the edge of the light at the end of the dream
Could I just whisper a lie if it could grant me some peace?
Well it takes a little coal to fuel the fire
And heat to release
And they all dive down
Into the deep
They say son get you a wife and plant you some seeds
Let the roots drive into the ground and anchor your feet
These limbs were made to fight when playing for keeps
While the voices ramble on like a choir
Set to repeat
And they all dive down
Into the deep
Young man filled with pride and anxious to speak
To cut the world down from the wire, to bring ‘em to their knees
Go find a place to hide and plan your retreat
Take a long drag and fill up your lungs
You better get ready to run
And they all dive down
Into the deep

Wanderin' Eye
04:34
|

Your daddy left town when you were just six years old
That event left a big ‘ol hole, and so it’s said
When most the other folks your age are fixed on settling down
You’ve developed quite the reputation of being out on the prowl
For good lovin’
Oh, for good lovin’
Wrap it up and write it up in that notebook
Torn, tattered, frayed, and missing pages
Giving it your all has got you nothing
So you let it sit there, lying open
Hoping that someone would come and turn the page
Come into your life and make you stay
All your favorite songs
Yeah they’re all about leaving
Well I know the feeling I get
I watch you hum along
So you tell me that
Your heart’s set on leaving
I’ve been seeing this coming
You’ve got a wanderin’ eye
Same situation always turns out the same way
In one place, why won’t you stay?
All your favorite songs
Yeah they’re all about leaving
Well I know the feeling I get
I watch you hum along
So you tell me that
Your heart’s set on leaving
I’ve been seeing this coming
You’ve got a wanderin’ eye

Heart Like Mine
03:05
|

Everybody’s got a story
They can’t depend on
If you’ve loved somebody
You’ve read it before
Tell me can you keep a secret
I’m tired of keeping
I’ve got to get it off my chest
‘Cause I’ve been here too long
‘Cause you’ve never met a heart like mine
Everybody’s got someone
They can’t depend on
If you’ve loved somebody
You know ‘em all too well
Don’t make me go on livin’
The way that I’ve been livin’
I’ve gone and givin’ ‘em something
I know they can’t forget
You’ve never met a heart like mine

Round & Round
04:22

Father I look to your words
‘Cause Father I figure you’ve been here before
What did you do when you got this down?
You’d say, “Well son, life’s a circle, it just goes round and round and round.”
So won’t you commit to me now?
I’m bruised and I’m broken
But aren’t we all somehow?
I’ll just stop breathing for now
Tomorrow I’ll wake up
So don’t let me down
Maybe I should just buy a house
A cozy little place where I could settle down
And put all these dreams in the ground
“Well son, life’s a circle, it just goes round and round and round.”
So won’t you commit to me now?
I’m bruised and I’m broken
But aren’t we all somehow?
I’ll just stop breathing for now
Tomorrow I’ll wake up
So don’t let me down
It’s about time that I make a stand
It’s about time that I become a man
But brother I could sure use a hand
“Well son, life’s a circle, it just goes round and round and round.”
So won’t you commit to me now?
I’m bruised and I’m broken
But aren’t we all somehow?
I’ll just stop breathing for now
Tomorrow I’ll wake up
So don’t let me down
