Lonely Man 04:32
He wasn't his Mama's favorite Nor his Daddy's too He was born in the middle Times of attention were too few So he started his great adventure During World War Two There were people dying all around But his luck it stuck like glue But he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man All his life never did quite understand why he was such a lonely man Everyone hitching up So he married choice number two Cause the one he truly loved Didn't wait for him to move But his wife she couldn't give him The love he needed her to Hung with Mr Dewars Another night to make it through Cause he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man He got it in his head that money was the cure Wash that son of an immigrant stain, make him pure He'd take all that cash he'd wave it in their face Finally he'd be even for all his perceived disgrace Got to join all those grey suits 'Cause he knew how to swing those sticks Led to that one connect That eventually made him rich Now three sons and a home with a view of the 5th green Finally now he had it made He was the American Dream But he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man He had no lack of friends as long as he was buying the rounds Throw his money at stranglers just so they'd stick around Left his sons to find their own way, not so well Left his wife to wallow in her own private hell Never learned he couldn't buy love Told himself lies but he'd believe Never stopped to wonder why he was alone on Christmas Eve Now his latest giver not a taker took him for all he had Put him in a nursing home where he died alone and sad Cause he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man All his life never did quite understand why he was such a lonely man

In the light of the kissing moon Heartbeat in the belly of June Seems the dawn always break too soon Pink red clouds float like balloons I know that I told you This time I’d keep it light You know I’m always a good boy I try to do what’s right The secret to life Is known by all To love and be loved Just answer its call In the light of the blood red moon Autumn breeze scatters skies of June Seems the dusk always fades too soon Sun sets like a big red balloon Don’t matter what I tell you Its a slow walk into the light Wake up one day and say oh boy Never too late to do it right
3.
Just you walk out on me yeah yeah You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me Kept no secrets, told just a couple of lies But God I loved you when I looked into your eyes Used me to hurt the one you truly care for Now he’s calling and you’re out that door So just you walk, out on me yeah yeah You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me The words you said, you know they didn’t quite ring true I told myself not to fall in love with you Fate made sure, never had a chance from the start still in all it kind of tore at my heart To watch you walk out on me yeah yeah You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me You say you’re sorry as you as you tear my insides out Don’t want your pity, that isn’t what it is all about Just want to find a love that could really last someone to make me care less about the past And how you walked, out on me yeah yeah You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me Not really heartless, just afraid of what you’d find there I did my best to pretend I did not care You took everything, I didn’t have the good sense to hide Given the chance you would have even taken my pride So just you walk, out on me yeah yeah You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me You say you’re sorry as you as you tear my insides out Don’t want your pity, that isn’t what it is all about Just want to find a love that could really last someone to make me care less about the past

I know you’re leaving I guess it’s that time But I won't grieving no no no I’m gonna watch you shine And I know you’re gonna be all right You’re a diamond in the moonlight I savor those memories Of the years gone by Those well worn stories Some even make me cry But I know that you're gonna be all right You’re a diamond in the moonlight Realize it’s necessary to let you go And this empty feeling, try not to let it show Seems just yesterday You were holding my hand Soon you’re going to say You’ve found another man

Bobby Said 03:59
Bobby said I've seen the end of the world and you know it looks just like this But it's not the end of everything just everything that you know I can see God on a cloud in the sky on top of the world watching the world roll by Distrust drives the world apart it brings us down and breaks our heart But hey hey it's all right Money honey is your only friend All dressed up and nowhere to hide Nowhere to run and no place left inside Inside this head of mine I'm Good now Bobby said We can lose ourselves not find our way back home So hard to make these big dreams come true, Holding on is the hardest thing to do Left me here in the twilight zone lost and looking for a way to get back home This is the way life's supposed to be and theres a reason that you just can't see But hey hey it's all right Money honey is your only friend All dressed up and nowhere to hide Nowhere to run and no place left inside Inside this head of mine I'm Good now But hey hey its alright Oh and I can't change your mind I tried so hard I did my best It took me some time I must confess Growing older like the rest I'm Good Now

I know There is something wrong here You won’t tell me It’s written in your eyes And I see That you're lonely I heard you crying In the middle of the night And you Your daddy’s little girl Walking in my old pair of shoes I’ve been down that road before It isn’t only you You think I couldn’t understand How your feeling How could I even know But I’ve had My darken days I know what it’s like When the fear come from inside I’m here Here to tell you It gets better Your life won’t stay the same Believe me I wouldn’t lie to you When I tell you Time dulls the sharpest pain You know There is something wrong here But you won’t talk to me I can see it in your eyes

Out of work he’d go out in a blaze of glory Call up the TV make sure the film that whole story Cameras rollin’ as we watch that sucker burn Tell me children what kind of lesson did we all learn It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha Way of that world, way of that world Last night a bachelor he’d go out and have himself a little fun Him and his buddy rape a deaf mute woman on the Art Institute lawn At the reception everybody said that bride she sure looked cute As the police hauled him away still wearing his monkey suit It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha Way of that world, way of that world I don’t understand it, it don’t make no sense to me You tell there’s justice I don’t believe it I just know it ain’t true It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha Way of that world, way of that world Fourteen years old and the child is going to have herself a child She won’t believe it if you told her you know she’d just get riled A bottle of wine and she knelt in front of that speeding train Made the sign of the cross as Amtrak took away her pain It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha Way of that world, way of that world I don’t understand it, it don’t make no sense to me You tell there’s justice I don’t believe it I just know it ain’t true Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now

Go to sleep my little one Don’t let fear own you Dream the dreams your life will be Don’t you cry my little one Let go of that sadness Grab your hopes and set them free Your smile is like the morning sun Keeps me warm and happy ‘til the day is done You breath new life in me Make want to be all I can be And for you, you know I’ll be Who loves you more than me Who sees in you things that someday will be I have no doubt it’s all within your reach Just open your heart and believe Don’t you fret my little one Outside the storms are raging But you’re safe here in my arm Don’t you worry my little one Yeah this world is crazy But you’ll crush it with your charm It’s all ahead of your my little one It’s all ahead of your my Luna Girl

Lucky 03:10
I guess I’m just a lucky man Been so all my life Yes I’ve had my sleepless nights I’ve had my times of strife But still I am a lucky man I’ve been so all my life The sweetest girl is in love with me And she became my wife You want to know What makes me so special I cannot say I’ve stumbled like we all do Can’t show you the way Cause I haven’t got a clue haven’t got a clue I guess I’m just a lucky man, just a lucky man I guess I’m just a lucky man Been so all my life Got myself a good job They’re treating me alright I guess I’m just a lucky man Been so all my life Surrounded by my family’s love Laughter in the moonlight

Dead Inside 02:57
I know I asked you to leave me You said it isn’t right I know that you won’t ever believe me Can no longer live this life Yeah I know this road will be lonely Yeah I know I’ll slip and I’ll slide But I hope at the end of this journey That I won’t be dead dead inside Was it just about the money I guess I’ll never know And I guess what is truly funny Don’t care any more
11.
Don’t you lie to me Tell me how one plus none equals three You lied to my face That’s not a memory that will easily erase You wasted your whole life Waiting on that big pay day So glad I’m not in your shoes Now that you realize you’ve thrown your life away How do you sleep at night Tryin’ to justify want you’re doin’ is right You’re stealing from your kin Surely that’s the meaning of Original Sin You wasted your whole life Waiting on that big pay day So glad I’m not in your shoes Now that you realize you’ve thrown your life away Have you got no shame Right now you’re probably saying someone else is to blame But you know you lied You can run from the truth but you cannot hide I guess it all started years ago, When they wouldn’t let you fall Never learned to stand on your own So you spent your whole life just learning how to crawl So don’t you lie to me don’t you lie I saw you lie to me I saw you lie I saw you lie I saw you lie I saw you lie
12.
Back To Me 03:19
I thought I’d never live a lonely life The day I asked you to be my wife Shit happens yeah I know its true But now I’m sitting here missing you But I know that some day you’re coming back to me, to me And I believe that it can be as good as it used to be, you and me I know that you don’t love no one else Except the ones we created ourselves Shit happens yeah I know its true So here I sit missing you I guess I could be a better man Believe me I’m doing the best I can I never cheated, told just a couple of lies But I don’t ever want to say goodbye I understand life pulls people apart But your everything to me It’s still there deep in our hearts And I believe that some days you’re even missing me
13.
She’s so far away Her smile haunts me everyday But I’m out here by myself Only her touch could help I feel like going home To the one that I know loves me I feel like going home Any blind man can see I just need to go home, home I just need to go home Another sleepless night Without her arms to hold me tight And I’m paralyzed by my fears Did God I wish she was here I feel like going home To the one that I know loves me I feel like going home Any blind man can see I just need to go home, home I just need to go home
