Oooo baby, I want you to notice when I leave Oooo baby, I want you to miss me when I'm driving East I got some change in my pocket I got some blood on my hands I don't want to be with you If I can't be your man, but I'll miss you Every night of the week CHORUS I got 20 different shotguns in the back of my truck And I wanna be with you but I'm running outta luck And I'll miss you every night of the week Ooo baby, I want you to love me like you do Ooo baby, I want you to squeeze me like you would Oooo baby, I need you to know right now I need you to know right now That you can call me, baby, anytime, anytime that you like Yeah you can call me, baby, anytime, anytime that you like CHORUS Driving East Driving East I'm driving, I'm driving Driving East

You say, you don't what it means for me to say That it's meant to be And I, I don't know just what else that I can say To make you believe If I could write you 101 songs of lost love I would do it but you're right here If I could write you 101 Japanese love songs I would do it, for you, my dear Yeah, you, you feel like you've come all this way for nothing You tell me that you're feeling kind of blue You say you don't know how you'll make it through And I, I'm watching you go through all the motions Watching you work through all the pain Watching you from across the way Knowing it's me you're looking for If I could write you 101 songs of lost love I would do it but you're right here If I could write you 101 punk rock love songs I would do it, it’s all too clear Yeah, you, you don't know just what I am going through You don't believe what I believe is true Yet I'm seeing it in everything you do And I, I'm watching the way your body moves Knowing that it's me you're moving it to This merge of you and I is bound to happen This dance is about to begin If I could write you 101 songs of lost love I would do it but you're right here And I will find you 101 ways or another To be with me right now right here 101, 101, 101, 101 (gonna write you a love song) You say, you don't what it means for me to say That it's meant to be

Now everywhere across the world There is a boy who needs a girl And everywhere across the land There is a girl who needs a man Why don't we get together and talk about this? For our mutual benefit? Don't you wanna try to make love tonight? Don't you think we ought to just talk about keeping alive? You wanna keep it alive (x5) CHORUS: Don't Stop me You keep this feeling alive You keep this feeling alive Everywhere across the globe There is a people searching for some hope And everywhere across the land There is someone who needs a helping hand Why don't we get together and talk about this? For our mutual benefit? Don't you wanna try to make peace tonight? Don't you think we ought to just talk about keeping alive? You wanna keep it alive (x5) CHORUS And everywhere across the universe There's spheres of light contributing a verse And everywhere across the galaxy There's hope and wonder as far as I can see You gotta keep it alive (x4) CHORUS You keep this feeling alive (x4) CHORUS (Ooo driving me crazy) (Hey lovely lady!) (Ooo you're driving me crazy) (Crazy, Crazy) (Crazy, Crazy, Crazy) Girl I want you to don't (x4) (I want you to don't)

Baby 05:17
This love is so slow I just can't quite get enough And back at the party, where everyone wants you You got what you can came for (woe woe woe) If that's what it is, if that's what you wanted If that's what you came for (woe woe woe) CHORUS (repeated): Baby, oh my baby Now I'm here all alone Waiting for you to come home And back at the party you got what you came for You got what you wanted (woe woe woe) If that's what it is, if that's what you wanted If that's what you came for (woe woe woe) CHORUS (repeated) And back at the party, where everyone wants you You got what you came for You need some, you want some, everybody needs some CHORUS (x5)

(The Shop) x3 I was working at the corner store When walked in this paramour He looked like he'd just done the deed Tried to pay for his beer with weed He laughed it off and said, “You're alright” I rang him up, and said, “Have a good night” He said, “Tell anyone gives you, a hard time: You know The Shop, The Pawn Shop.” I was stunned, lacked words to say Thanked him much and he was on his way As he left he said, “Say my name.” It was The Shop, The Pawn Shop

Mr. Happy 03:40
I'm always happy when you're down 'Cause there's nowhere to go but up I always smile when you frown 'Cause there's nothing to do but turn it upside down CHORUS: You can take your life into your hands and turn it all around It's all too easy to get lazy and let it get you down I'm always happy when you're down 'Cause there's nowhere to go but up You come undone, I laugh out loud Because I know that there's a better way you've found CHORUS I'm always happy when you're down 'Cause there's nowhere to go but up And when you know you've hit the ground Then know that I'll be there to cheer you on so proud (Go!) CHORUS (continued) It's the beginning not the end And you have me as your friend And together, in the end, we'll work it out (Don’t let it get ya down, no no) (Don’t let it get ya down, don’t let it) (Don’t let it get ya down!)

Ladything 04:26
She met me down on Jefferson, she was so fine I asked her to join me for coffee, but she preferred wine She made me feel like an animal, but she gave me the time Didn't know what to say to her, but she said she was mine CHORUS: She was my ladything She had her collar popped just like a pimp Made me so satisfied that I cried She was my ladything She was so confident, she was an intellectual I tried to keep my cool for her, she made me feel so sexual We had a moment together I'll never forget Everything felt so electric when our bodies met CHORUS Oh, I'm only half the man I try to be in her arms She always does her best to comfort me with her charm She soothes my savage soul, turns misery into bliss She took my broken heart and healed it up with her kiss She was my ladything She had her collar popped just like a pimp Left me so satisfied that I died She was my ladything

Daddy's Girl 03:51
Sitting right here, wasting the day away Sitting right here, won't you come talk to me? Would you like to have some tea with me? I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, for my girl Come sit right here, right here beside of me Come sit right here, isn't that much more comfortable? Would you like to tell me about your day? I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, for my girl Sitting right here, listening to every word Sitting right here, enjoying your company Would you like to play a little game? I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting, for you girl Time to go now, thank you for your company Time to go now, put a kiss your daddy's cheek Would you go into this world alone? I'll always be there waiting for my girl (For my girl)

naked. 04:27
Life is sweet Funny indeed You hold on to something your whole life and then you lose it That loss defines your whole life, gives meaning to it You’re delusional if you think you can laugh without crying You’re delusional if you think you can live without dying Life is sweet Funny indeed You spend all your wakened days chasing a dream Only to find it’s not what it seems You’re delusional if you think you can win without trying You’re delusional if you think you can soar without flying Life is sweet Funny indeed You’re born into this world, you get soiled Take off all your clothes 'Cause you can’t get clean without getting naked You’re delusional if you think you can walk without falling And you can’t have spring without autumn

Cliché 02:46
When you get to the bottom line don't be wasting time Cut through the red tape, that's a load off of my mind Clear out all the clutter, invention is your mother Yeah it is what it is, get your mind out the gutter CHORUS: Cliché Why must you be this way? Everybody's talking 'bout think outside the box now Will they, won't they? doesn't really matter anyway Get yourself a new look post it up on Facebook Ut oh, here we go, narcissism overload CHORUS How many people wanna be a true believer in a nutshell YOLO, FOMO, a living hell?! At the end of the day you express your dismay Actually, actually, actually CHORUS
12.
When I was a child I had dreams made out of plastic An open world for my mind to create As I grew much older I found something more fantastic How strange but true the real world behaved CHORUS: Listen to the sound You can feel your heartbeat deep inside you It longs to guide you true Listen to the sound You can feel your heartbeat getting stronger To help get you through When I was a small boy my teachers told me I was gifted Then they took it back, it was never the same When I walked the world I could see the gifts in life that were sacred All divine beauty in the simply mundane CHORUS When I was a young man my father called me to the tractor I spent some long hours in that field all alone Since then I've found my own way in my heart beat And let it guide me home CHORUS Who will pay the cost when everything is lost? That is the price you'll pay if you don't find your own way
13.
Thank You 02:44
For the times you really cared For the journeys that we shared For the times that you were there And the laughter in the air CHORUS: I want to thank you, I want to thank you I want to thank you, for being my friend (repeated) For the times we got in trouble And the times we drank a double For the times you made me humble And you caught me when I stumbled CHORUS For the struggles we went through For the ways in which we grew For the love that was true And just for being you CHORUS

Well, it's much too late to start again And it's much too late for fightin’ We've had the time of our lives, but now it's gone When the fiesta is over I know that it's time to move on Because it's too late for tacos It's too late for tacos And I try and I try and I try and I try and I try Dunno why dunno why dunno why dunno why dunno why Because it's too late for tacos It's too late for tacos Well, I've been thinking about the place that we're in Kind of sad to think that it finally has to end We've had the time of our lives but now it's gone When the fiesta is over I know that it's time to move on Because it's too late for tacos (I know) it's too late for tacos (I know) it's too late, for tacos (But now) it's too late for tacos And I say hey, hey, hey. . . When the fiesta is over (x3) I know that it's over Because it's too late for tacos (I know) it's too late for tacos (I know) it's too late for tacos (But now) it's too late for tacos
