let's give them something to talk about

People are talkin, talking bout people
I hear them whisper, you wont believe it
They think were lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe theyre seeing, something we dont, darlin

Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed
Youd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now Im convinced Im going under
Thinking bout you every day
Dreaming bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, lets really show it, darlin

Lets give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Lets give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
Lets give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?

i can see clearly now

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

where the blacktop ends

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

I'm lookin' down the barrel of Friday night
Ridin' on a river of freeway lights
Goodbye city I'm country bound
'Til Monday rolls around

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Workin' in the grind is an uphill road
Punchin' that clock and carryin' that load
I bust it all week and then I'm free
The weekend belongs to me

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Give me some fresh air give me that farm
Give me some time with you in my arms
Far away from the hustle and the pressure and the noise

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul, you betcha

Gonna kick off my shoes
And run in bare feet
Where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet
Goin' back to the well gonna visit old friends
And feed my soul where the blacktop ends

Where the blacktop ends
Where the blacktop ends
Where the blacktop ends

wasting love

Maybe one day Ill be an honest man
Up till now Im doing the best I can
Long roads, long days,
Of sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset

Dream on brother while you can
Dream on sister I hope you find the one
All of our lives covered up quickly by the tides of time

Spend your days full of emptyness
Spend your years full of lonliness
Waisting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of nights

Dream on brother while you can
Dream on sister I hope you find the one
All of our lives covered up quickly by the tides of time

Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger
And the desperate cry that tears the night

when the stars go blue

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue, blue
When the stars, when the stars go blue, blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue, blue, blue
Stars go blue
When the stars go blue

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue, yeah
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, I'll follow you
I'll follow you, I'll follow you, yeah
Where do you go, yeah
Where do you go, Where do you go

trouble is a woman

Trouble is a woman with a chip on her shoulder
Swore he loved her and no other
She had a feeling he was lyin'
A woman on a mission no denyin'
Someones gonna have to pay this time
Trouble is a woman with a man on her mind

And when she walked into the room
And saw him with somebody new
She grabbed the arm of a good lookin' guy
She said dance with me
And he could see the fire in her eyes

Trouble is a woman in tight blue jeans
Dancin' too close ya know what that means
Across the room she saw him comin'
Turning over chairs people were runnin'
In the eye of the storm ya just might find
Trouble is a woman with a man on her mind

Two big men standing face to face
One said you've made a big mistake
That's when the fists began to fly
As he hit the floor
She hit the door
Never heard her say goodbye

Trouble is a woman in a 4-wheel drive
On an old dirt road to a brand new life
She ain't hangin' 'round for nothin'
There's a lot more men with a lot more lovin'
Yeah she's gonna get it right this time
Trouble is a woman with a man on her mind

She's gonna get it right this time
Trouble is a woman with a man on her mind

a broken wing

She loved like he was the last man on earth.
gave him everything she ever had.
He’d break her spirit down, then come lovin’ up on her.
give a little, then Take it back.
she’d tell him about her dreams - he’d just shoot ’em down.
lord, He loved to make her cry.
"you’re crazy for believin’ you’ll ever leave the Ground."
he said "only angels know how to fly."

And with a broken wing, she still sings.
she’ keeps an eye on the sky.
with a Broken wing, she carries her dreams.
man, you ought to see her fly.

One sunday mornin’, she didn’t go to church.
he wondered why she didn’t leave.
He went up to her bedroom, found a note by the window, with the curtains
Blowin’ in the breeze, and with a broken wing, she still sings.
she keeps an Eye on the sky.

with a broken wing, she carries her dreams.
man, you ought to See her fly.
with a broken wing, she carries her dreams. man, you ought to see
Her fly. (with a broken wing oooooh)

Crash! Boom! Bang!

my papa told me to stay out of trouble
"when you've found your man make sure he's for real"
i've learned that nothing really lasts forever
i sleep with the scars i wear that won't heal
they won't heal

cos every time i seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
i find the heart but then i hit the wall
crash! boom! bang!
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same

i'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
i pass by the houses and blocks i once knew
my mama told me not to mess with sorrow
but i always did and lord i still do
i'm still breaking the rules
i kick it up
i kick it down

cos every time i seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
i find the heart but then i hit the wall
crash! boom! bang!
that's my real middle-name
it has always been the same
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same

i still feel the heat
slowly fallin' from the sky
and the taste of the kissing
shattered by rain
comin' tumblin' from behind
and the wild holy war
i kick it up
i kick it down

and every time i seem to fall in love
crash! boom! bang!
i find the roses dying on the floor
crash! boom! bang!
that's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
that's my real middle-name
it has always been the same
oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh
been the same been the same
it has always been the same

can't stop loving you

Theres a time and place for everything, for everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothins gonna come
Oh no, nothins gonna change
And if I asked you not to try
Oh could you let it be
I wanna hold you and say

Tell me you wont go, you wont go
Do you have to hear me say

I cant stop lovin you
And no matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh

You change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind, we can change the way we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but I think youll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, Ill be there, yeah

Baby, just come on, come on, cdome on
I just wanna hear you say

I cant stop lovin you
And no matter what you say or do
You know my heart is true, oh

Oh, Im so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender

And when its over
I know how its gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away

And I cant stop lovin you
No matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I cant stop lovin you

And I know what I got to do
Hey ray, what you said is true
I cant stop lovin you, oh
Oh, I cant stop lovin you

Greedy little people in a sea of distress

Unimpressed by material excess

No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart get down with the pow wow

Dancin down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility

My mom I love her cause she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin good my brother gonna hug me
Drink my juice lone chug-a-lug me

Theres a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm wont let you shiver

Come on everybody time to deliver
