Lucky Side 04:40
Lucky Side Everybody’s acting like a big shot walking around Smart phones everywhere in the middle of a crowd The personal touch that everybody’s missing Some on course and others on a mission Does anybody here have any kind of vision at all Isn’t it a pity while I’m sitting pretty Playing poker with the Duke of Earl Locked and ready to take on the world Heart pumpin’ Feet jumpin’ Everyday a little slice of Heaven You gotta understand I’m not a gambling man Just living my life on the lucky side of seven On the lucky side Everybody’s searching for a highway to paradise But a hot handed dealer standing there colder than ice Skin in the game snake eyes on the table Double or nothing is anybody able Does anybody here have any kind of chance at all Ace’s high and a wild card You gotta hold em Roll the dice with the Queen of Hearts Man it’s never too late to start Heart pumpin’ Feet jumpin’ Everyday a little slice of Heaven You gotta understand I’m not a gambling man Just living my life on the lucky side Heart pumpin’ Feet jumpin’ Fire burning on the road to Heaven You gotta understand I’m not a gambling man Just living my life on the lucky side of seven On the lucky side Oh yeah Yeah on the lucky side Oh yeah Ace’s high and a wild card And I’m sittin’ pretty Playing poker with the Duke of Earl Locked and ready to take on the world Heart pumpin’ Feet jumpin’ Everyday a little slice of Heaven You gotta understand im not a gambling man Just living my life on the life on the lucky side Heart pumpin’ Feet jumpin’ Fire burning on the road to Heaven You gotta understand im not a gambling man Just living my life on the lucky side of seven On the lucky side Oh on the lucky side Lucky side of seven On the lucky side of seven Yeah On the lucky side On the lucky side

Fired Up Tonight Might have been a Tuesday Just another blues day I was walking down 1st Street through the driving rain Brace against the wind Jacket over my head Water in my shoes Feet as cold as dead The Needle in the sky is still standing by all the rockers Feeling low and high Taking me back to where my dreams began and the world was mine Fired up tonight High rise to the left The Sound is to my right Another misty day another stormy night The Emerald is a stone and the Queen she still rains Coffee shops everywhere but where’s Kirk Cobain? The Needle in the sky is still standing by all the rockers Feeling low and high The clubs are jammin’ and the bass keeps slammin’ I’m fired up tonight The rain and cold through my window The streets are glassy wet The sky a lonesome gray tonight I never will forget That city gave birth to heroes Who cheated life and death Fired up tonight Yeah Yeah I’m feeling alright Fired up tonight The rain and cold through my window The streets are glassy wet The sky a lonesome gray tonight I never will forget That city gave birth to heroes And She ain’t done down here yet I’m fired up tonight How I love my city Yeah I love that city She’s so cold but pretty Yeah I love my city And the Needle in the sky is still standing by all the rockers Fired up tonight Fired up tonight I’m fired up tonight

Can’t Find Love Been walking along the road Been carrying a heavy load I need help don’t you know Too much weight for me Ain’t no philosophy Gonna get me through tomorrow If I only had somebody If I on had someone We’d be walking here together We’d be having the ultimate fun But I can’t find love Any answer that I need to find Just hit a key and search online The whole world at my finger tips Plan my life I can take a trip (But I can’t find love) While I’m floating out in cyber space talking to people without a face I can buy anything I can Google earth Anywhere from above But I can’t find love Nah nah’s I need more than a pretty look No worn out pages from a worn out book I need help don’t you know If I only had somebody If I only had someone We’d be walking here together Wed be having the ultimate fun But I can’t find love Any answer that I need to find Just hit a key and search online The whole world at my finger tips Plan my life I can take a trip (But I can’t find love) While I’m floating out in cyber space talking to people without a face I can buy anything I can Google earth Anywhere from above But I can’t find love Nah nah’s (But I can’t find love) While I’m floating out in cyber space talking to people without a face I can buy anything I can Google earth Anywhere from above But I can’t find love Nah nah’s I can’t find love, I can’t find love If I only had somebody If I only had someone If I only had somebody If I only had someone

The Only One 03:28
The Only One There’s a high speed chase on the freeway While an old man pushes a broom There’s a young boy sleeping A widow weeping And an artist painting a tune There’s an old women praying for mercy And a rich kid locked in his room An innocent victim A little child dreaming about growing up to soon There’s so many things going on at the same time More than anyone can see But you’re the only one who matters The only one who matters to me There’s a big man walking his small dog While a dead man lies in his tomb A teenager cruisin’ A lawyer whose losin’ And a junky filling a spoon A police raid down at the beach house While a wino’s about to consume A crime committed Defendant acquitted Coyotes howling at the moon There’s so many things going on at the same time More than anyone can see But you’re the only one who matters The only one who matters to me Struggles for power and position From life and death through transition You’re the only one My morning sun The Only One who matters to me There’s so many things going on at the same time More than anyone can see But you’re the only one who matters The only one who matters to me But you’re the only one who matters The only one who matters to me The only one The only one The only one You’re the only one who matters to me

Bad Credit 03:41
Bad Credit Bad credit is a bitter wine Bad credit is a bitter wine Now the day has gone away You’re sitting in the dark When you say you are that way You are because you are When you lease a life worth living You can buy it on time Your credit is bad I call that dying Death’s a bitter wine Soon you’ll say you’ll have to pray Cause praying is a start Good for you cause I pray too I feel it in my heart When you lease a life worth living You can buy it on time Your credit is bad I call that dying Death’s a bitter wine Whoo whoo whoo Whoo whoo whoo bitter wine Whoo whoo whoo When you lease a life worth living You can buy it on time Your credit is bad I call that dying Death’s a bitter wine Kindly souls they find a home And very rarely lose Life is light When switched on right Your nature you must choose When you lease a life worth living You can buy it on time Your credit is bad I call that dying Death’s a bitter wine When you lease a life worth living You can buy it on time Your credit is bad I call that dying Death’s a bitter wine (Bad credit is a bitter wine) (Bad credit is a bitter wine) It’s a bitter wine Bad credit It’s a bitter wine

We’re Not Wasted As we sit by the fire And the wind blows the coals There is cold hard desire That will most certainly unfold To let us know To let us know We’re not wasted We ought to know We’re not wasted We should know that everyone has got his place in what we’ve done We can see where we’ve been We’re not wasted As our fuel burns away And there’s no price on gold There is cold hard desire That will most certainly unfold To let us know To let us know We’re not wasted We ought to know That we’re not wasted We should know that everyone has got his place in what we’ve done We can see where we’ve been Ooh we’re wasted You gotta believe me We’re not wasted You gotta believe me ah we’re not wasted No no As we sit by the fire And the wind blows the coals There is cold hard desire That will most certainly unfold To let us know To let us know We’re no wasted We’re not wasted We’re not wasted We’re not wasted

I Believe 04:33
I Believe Take what I’ve been given Do the best I can Sometimes careless always driven Back to the master plan There’s just one life There’s just one try I believe There’s just one life There’s just one try I believe Caught up in mixed emotions Can’t seem to tame my mind Love as deep as the ocean Eyes wide open but seeing blind There’s just one way There’s just one try I believe There’s just one way There’s just one try I believe That I’ve discovered My life is full My soul is covered And as the world turns Gravity still pulls us towards each other There is no reincarnation But there’s still life in many forms When we return to pay it forward There’s a King with a crown of thorns There’s just one way There’s just one way I believe There’s just one way There’s just one way I believe No regrets that’s the way I wanna leave There’s just one life There’s just one try I believe I believe oh I believe

Crazy Kind of Life Ooooh oooh Curios hearts on a restless night Opening doors to our fears Secrets to share and a lonely dream Learn how to smile through the tears Just look through the eyes of a stranger And follow your heart without anger Cause it’s a life A crazy kind of life Such a mystery a peace for which we strive Yeah it’s a life A crazy kind of life Such a history the power to survive The bridges we burn And the lesson’s we learn Don’t always seek what you find If you look through the eyes of a stranger yeah Look through the eyes of a stranger and you’ll see It’s just a life A crazy kind of life Such a mystery a peace for which we strive Yeah it’s a life A crazy kind of life Such a history the power to survive Between the world of two extremes Why give up on simple dreams When it’s all you need to know you’re loved along the way Along the way Just look through the eyes of a stranger And follow your heart without anger and you will see That it’s a life A crazy kind of life Such a mystery a peace for which we strive Yeah it’s a life A crazy kind of life Such a history the power to survive It’s a life a crazy life crazy kind of life It’s a life a crazy kind of life crazy life crazy kind of life It’s a life a crazy kind of life crazy kind of life Oh it’s a crazy crazy crazy kind of life It’s a crazy kind of life woo!
