Lyrics

Junk Town

I’ve been trying to get out of junk town

Been trying to turn my life around

Looking for something I have never found

This much is clear, I’m not gonna find it here

I’ve gotta get out of junk town

The AC’s out and it’s a hundred degrees

I swear this town will suck the life out of me

Dying dreams are all I see

Oh it doesn’t matter what it costs, I’m gonna find more than I lost

If I could just get out of junk town

Junk in the alley, junk in the yard

You know it shouldn’t have to be this hard

Just to get by

Everybody wants the American Dream

But nothing’s ever simple as it seems

It’s a pretty little piece of the pie

So I’m city limits bound

Got my windows rolled down

And I’m gonna get out of junk town

I never meant to end up this way

Nobody ever comes here expecting to stay

Desperation’s a high price to pay

I’ll never pay off my debt

With this minimum wage paycheck

I’ve gotta get out of junk town

Junk in the alley, junk in the yard

You know it shouldn’t have to be this hard

Just to get by

Grass is always greener on the other side

Well that’s gotta be true ‘cause mine is barely alive

It’s just dying and turning brown

So I’m city limits bound

Got my windows rolled down

I gotta get out of junk town

Come on baby, what do you say?

We could just leave all of our junk here and drive away

Come on baby, it’s never or it’s now

Ain’t nothing left here for the likes of us anyhow

Springsteen’s on, I’m out of cigarettes

Those damn things are gonna kill me yet

I’ve been better places but I try to forget

Ignorance is bliss but I can’t go on like this

I’ve gotta get out of junk town

Junk in the alley, junk in the yard

No, it shouldn’t have to be this hard

Just to get by

Everybody wants that American Dream

Nothing’s ever simple as it seems

It’s a pretty little piece of the pie

So I’m city limits bound

Junk in the alley, junk in the yard

No it shouldn’t have to be this hard

Just to get by

Everybody wants that American Dream

Nothing’s ever simple as it seems

It’s a pretty little piece of the pie

So I’m city limits bound

Got my windows rolled down

And I’m gonna get out of junk town

Yeah I’m city limits bound

I won’t be turning around

I’ve gotta get out of junk town

I’m Not Falling In Love With You

I’m not falling in love with you

I can tell that you want me to

But I can’t help how I feel for you

Or how I don’t

I can tell that you think it’s fine

You’ve been giving me space and time

Thinking that it’ll change my mind

But it won’t

‘Cause when the heart finds what it wants

It has a hard time letting go

And that’s not how I’m feeling here

And I thought that you should know

I’m not falling in love with you

Even with all the sweet things you do

I should be head over heels for you

But I’m not

It isn’t anything that you’ve done

I like your company, I’m having fun

I really wish that would make you the one

But you’re not

‘Cause when the heart finds what it wants

It’ll do anything to hold on

That’s not how I’m feeling here

And I don’t wanna lead you on

‘Cause when the heart finds what it wants

It has a hard time letting go

That’s not how I’m feeling here

And I thought that you should know

I’m not falling in love with you

Not for lack of trying to

I wish it was that easy to do

But I’m not falling in love with you

Turn On the Light

You can’t tell me that you never get lonely

You can’t tell me it doesn’t hurt when you do

You can’t tell me you don’t need anybody

You can say it, but it doesn’t make it true

Everyone needs someone to hold their hand sometimes

Everyone needs somebody just to turn on the light

Everyone needs someone to help ‘em through the hard times

Everyone needs somebody just to make it all right

Make it alright

If you’d let me I’d write you a love letter

Full of words nobody’s ever written to you

If you’d let me, I could make you feel better

If you’d let me, I would know what to do

Everyone needs someone to hold their hand sometimes

Everyone needs somebody just to turn on the light

Everyone needs someone to help ‘em through the hard times

Everyone needs somebody just to make it all right

Make it alright

Yeah, you make it alright

I can’t tell you how to solve all your problems

I can’t tell you that the pain will go away

I can tell you that you’re never the only one

You and I both know that you’re gonna be okay

Everyone needs someone to hold their hand sometimes

Everyone needs somebody just to turn on the light

Everyone needs someone to help ‘em through the hard times

Everyone needs somebody just to make it all right

Make it alright

Yeah, you make it alright

Yes you make it alright

You make it alright

I Think It’s You

 I’ve been waiting forever

I’ve been waiting so long

I’ve been waiting my whole life

For you to come along

I’ve been searching the places

That I never go

Searching each face

For someone I don’t even know

And I think it’s you

The wise woman told me

Child, all you gotta do

Is send your dreams out to the universe

And watch ‘em come true

She said, write down a list

Of how you want it to be

You’ll get what you’re after

Just you wait and see

And I think it’s you

‘Cause I haven’t settled and I haven’t sold out

There have been moments when I’ve had my doubts

But if you’re patient enough and let your heart take the lead

You’ll find what you want and you’ll get what you need

And I think it’s you

For so many years

I’ve been spinning my wheels

Wrecking my heart

Just to see how it feels

But those days are over

I’m back on my feet

I’ve been patiently waiting

For us to finally meet

And I think it’s you

‘Cause I haven’t settled and I haven’t sold out

There have been moments when I’ve had my doubts

But if you’re patient enough and let your heart take the lead

You’ll find what you want and you’ll get what you need

And I think it’s you

Heartbroken 

Been thinking just a little too much

Been drinking but it’s not enough

To get you, to get you off my mind

To leave you, to leave you behind

You strung me out for way too long

I say I’m alright, but it’s just wrong

I keep thinking I’ll catch a break

And wake up to find this was all a mistake

And I’m not heartbroken

Heartbroken

Heartbroken

They say that I’m gonna heal in time

They’re telling me that I’m gonna be fine

But they don’t know what I’ve been going through

They don’t know what it’s like to miss someone like you

They say everything happens for a reason

But you know, I’m not sure that I believe ‘em

They’re just trying to make me stop crying

I really wish they’d just stop trying

‘Cause I’m heartbroken over you

Heartbroken over you

Heartbroken over you and all of the things that you put me through

I’m heartbroken over you

Heartbroken over you

Heartbroken over you

I really can’t believe I ever fell for you

Maybe this is just a cosmic quiz

To see if I can see the world as it is

Instead of only seeing what I wanted to see

Which was you with me

I really thought that you were it

Now I’m so glad to be done with it

Never thought I’d have to let you go

But then again, I guess you never know

How things will work out in the end

But for now I guess I’m on the mend

Wish I hadn’t wasted all that time

But you know what, they’re right, I’m gonna be fine, I’m just

Heartbroken over you

Heartbroken over you

Heartbroken over you and all of the things that you put me through

I’m heartbroken but not for long

One of these days the pain will be gone

And I’ll forget all that you put me through

I’ll be moving on, I’ll be over you

I won’t be heartbroken

Heartbroken

Heartbroken

Heartbroken

Heartbroken

Heartbroken

Trouble

You walked in from nowhere, out of the blue

Your eyes locked with mine and sparks flew

Life as I knew it was over and through

I’m in trouble with you

It was clear from the start that this was overdue

You shot me a look that sighed oh what I wouldn’t do

And now I’m so far gone I’m past the point of rescue

I’m in trouble with you

Angelic smile and devilish eyes

The kind of trouble even a fool could recognize

The glances you cast and the kisses you threaten

You’ve got me scheming about the trouble we’ll get in

Oh you’ve got me where you want me and you’ll do what you do

I’m in trouble with you

You’re too close for comfort but what can I do

I always lose my cool when I’m around you

I wonder if you can tell that I’m coming unglued

I’m in trouble with you

Angelic smile and devilish eyes

The kind of trouble even a fool could recognize

The glances you cast and the kisses you threaten

You got me scheming about the trouble we’ll get in

Oh you’ve got me where you want me and you’ll do what you do

I’m in trouble with you

Every curse has its blessing

Just like every hurt has its lesson

I’m not sure what there is to learn here

But everyone’s gonna get their turn here

You’re not the only one with tricks up your sleeve

I’ll give you the kind of love that’s impossible to leave

What you get isn’t always what you see

You’re in trouble with me

Devilish smile and angelic eyes

The kind of trouble even a fool could recognize

The glances I cast, and the kisses I’ll threaten

Who’s scheming now over the trouble we’ll get in

Oh I got you where I want you and I’m gonna do as I please

You’re in trouble

Serious trouble

You’re in trouble with me

All These Years

Watching you move around this place

Far-off look in your eyes and no expression on your face

I know you’ve got your hurts, ‘cause I’ve got ‘em too

But lately, you ain’t been letting me get too close to you

After all these years we’ve come so far

You think we’d be closer than we are

We don’t talk but we don’t fight

So by all accounts, I guess we’re doing alright

But we wage this quiet little war

For the life of me, I don’t know what for

Eyes have long since lost their shine

When I ask you how you’re doing, you always say “fine”

Lately I just sit and stare

Talk to a ghost that isn’t there

Just you and me

And whatever we used to be

Lately, baby, I just don’t know

If I should pull you closer or let you go

Or leave you be

As angry as you want to be

But nobody’s leaving here

Not after all these years

I wonder if you hear a word I say

Lately you’ve just been turning away

So I keep my cards close to my chest

Close my eyes and hope for the best

Every time we talk, it feels so forced

Maybe this love has run its course

Lately I just sit and stare

Talk to a ghost that isn’t there

Just you and me

And whatever we used to be

Lately, baby, I just don’t know

If I should pull you closer or let you go

Or leave you be

As angry as you want to be

But nobody’s leaving here

Not after all these years

Lying here in our bed

All these thoughts are running through my head

I can tell that you’re not sleeping too

Lying here in the dark

Wrestling with this broken heart

I want to whisper, I still love you

I wish I knew what you wanted from me

Things are so much harder than they used to be

Remember when I used to make you laugh

When love and dreams were all that we had

After all these years we’ve come so far

You’d think we’d be closer than we are

Lately I just sit and stare

Talk to a ghost that isn’t there

Just you and me

And whatever we used to be

Lately, baby, I just don’t know

If I should pull you closer or let you go

Or leave you be

As angry as you want to be

But nobody’s leaving here

Lately I just sit and stare

Wondering if you even care

About you and me

Or whatever we used to be

Lately, baby, I just don’t know

If I should pull you closer or let you go

Or leave you be

Just as angry as you want to be

But nobody’s leaving here

Nobody’s leaving here

Not after all these years

All these years

All these years

Colorado Song 

The island was nice with the beaches so white

And the water so blue

With no solid plans and my shoes in my hands

I had nothing to do

Had plenty of time to clear my mind

In the sand and sun

As soon as I did, I realized that this

Was not exactly my idea of fun

Yeah it was nice

But I wouldn’t call it paradise

I wanna go

Back to Colorado

I wanna fly

Through the Rocky Mountain high

I want to see

The wilderness stretched out in front of me

Oh my mountains are calling and I must go

Back to Colorado

Back to Colorado

I went to the city and it sure was pretty

All the lights so bright

Pretty people pretty faces most happening places

Staying out all night

But I never saw the stars, just traffic and cars

And smog in the sky

And it didn’t take long to know it felt all wrong

And I said my goodbyes

It was okay

Wasn’t any place I’d want to stay

I wanna go

Back to Colorado

I wanna fly

Through the Rocky Mountain high

I want to see

The wilderness stretched out in front of me

Oh my mountains are calling and I must go

Back to Colorado

I want a silver stream singing me to sleep

I wanna see a trail beneath my feet

Space to grow wild and room to roam

Colorado, that’s my home

Oh the air is so clear I just love it here

Feels like home to me

I hope I never do leave I’ve come to believe

This is where I’m meant to be

I wanna go

Back to Colorado

I wanna fly

Through the Rocky Mountain high

I want to see

The wilderness stretched out in front of me

Oh my mountains are calling and I must go

I wanna go

Back to Colorado

I wanna fly

Through the Rocky Mountain high

I want to see

The wilderness stretched out in front of me

Oh my mountains are calling and I must go

Back to Colorado

Back to Colorado

Back to Colorado

My mountains are calling and I must go

Brand New Car 

You got a brand new car

Couldn’t wait to show it to me

Sleek and fast, tinted windows and leather seats

You got a brand new car

Said you’d take me for a ride

I’d never seen you so happy or so full of pride

So we went out on a country road

You turned it loose and let it go

It held tight as the engine purred

I held tight as the scenery blurred

It went zero to sixty like no big deal

You looked so at home behind the steering wheel

You said, I’m gonna take care of it, it’s gonna take me far

You bought a brand new car

Well months went by and the newness fades

You said the cops are gonna catch me one of these days

I named it White Lightning and it doesn’t know

How to take it easy, or how to go slow

He said it’s not about the speed, I just like knowing

That it’s gonna take me wherever I’m going

One thousand, ten thousand, one million miles

I’ll take it, sista, and I’ll bring the smiles

He said I take it out on the interstate

And I’m passing everybody like I’m running late

Edge it up to that red line
But I always shut it down just in time

It goes zero to sixty like time’s standing still

It’s like falling or flying, it is such a thrill

He loved it to death, we thought that it would take him far

My brother bought a brand new car

You know I didn’t mean to take it from you

Some things you don’t choose, you just do

I know you didn’t mean to give it to me

But you don’t get to choose who catches your debris

I got a brand new car

I wished it wasn’t true

When I heard the news, I thought it couldn’t be you

I got a brand new car

I never wanted to drive

But when I did, I never felt so alive

I take it out on the mountain pass

Let it go and it goes so fast

The tranny screams and the engine wails

And it still corners like it was on rails

It goes zero to sixty like no big deal

And now I really know how losing feels

It’s taken me one hundred thousand miles so far

Thanks for the brand new car

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday love of mine

Hope the world’s been treating you kind

Hope you’ve had the chance to find

Something good along the way

It’s been so long since we last spoke

But don’t you worry, no my heart’s not broke

I’m still holding out for hope

That you’ll be back this way

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Today

Happy Birthday to the one I love

The one who puts up with all my stuff

You’re so much more than good enough

Good enough for me

Time flies by and then it’s gone

We all have a way of moving along

Whether it’s right or whether it’s wrong

I guess we’ll wait and see

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, from me

Happy Birthday to my favorite one

A new adventure just begun

Another trip around the sun

The passing of another year

I loved you then and I love you still

It’s safe to say that I always will

Even now, I feel a little thrill

Whenever you are near

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, my dear

Happy Birthday my old friend

A year begins as another ends

How it seems, I guess that all depends

On the lens you’re looking through

Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s tough

But you’ve got my stubborn love

Hope to God it’s gonna be enough

Enough to pull us through

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you
