Abilene 03:09
Feels like I’m going – a little crazy, Everybody knows your name I haven’t told – anyone, ‘bout how we met that night in the rain You were waiting – for a taxicab, where no taxi’s ever show Gave you a ride – in my pickup truck, Asked you where and you just said go… I keep thinking about you, all night and all day I’m just hoping that you’re still feeling the same While you’re playing in Amsterdam, or Nashville, Tennessee I hope that once in a while you’re thinking of me - I’m here in Abilene… Saw you again – on the TV, You were somewhere on the road I’ve just been waiting – here in Abilene, waiting for you to come home It’s kinda strange – how we left things, I hated to see you walk out the door It’s been weeks – since I held you, guess it’ll be a few weeks more So when you tune up in Liverpool, or onstage in Berlin I hope that you’re still thinking about seeing me again While you’re out in Los Angeles, or up in Chicago I got something to tell you that you already know - Back here in Abilene…

I'm forever haunted by - the way you kissed me The night you walked out of my life The airport was cold and - you were shivering And trying hard not to cry I could tell that - you were leaving me, before you even knew yourself I could see that - you were uncertain about The way you really felt Now we got - Oceans between us and So many time-zones that I Don't know what time it is there Or if its too late - for me to call you tonight And if you even care I never wanted - to want someone so much The way that I wanted you I knew your heart would - never stretch that far When you took off into the blue I could tell that - you were leaving me, before you even knew yourself I could see that - you were uncertain about The way you really felt Now we got - Oceans between us and So many time-zones that I Don't know if its day or night Or if you're happier - there without me, and if I should have put up a fight Don't you remember what you said? You would always be there - for me But the miles are like amnesia And you don't remember anything I'm forever haunted by - the look you gave me The night you walked out of my life

When I put her in my truck and said goodbye - Had to turn away so she wouldn’t see me cry This isn’t the way I thought that things would be - But I love people more than they love me I knew that she was trouble from the start - And I swore that she would never get my heart Now I got two days on my own - And I’m a thousand miles from home God Damn it I can’t stand that we’re apart This Heart of Mine has always fucked me - But this Heart of Mine is never wrong So when she comes back with my truck - Full of memories and bad luck I’ll sit her down and sing her this song When she comes rolling in on Christmas Day - I’ll forget all the things that I was going to say ‘Cause I’ve been here before - And by now I know the score I love people more than they love me This Heart of Mine has always fucked me - I wish this Heart of Mine was wrong I’m gonna look her in the eye - And tell her a great big lie Of course this isn’t you in this song This Heart of Mine has always fucked me - This Heart of Mine’s a son of a bitch If she turns out not to be true – I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do I’m gonna rip it out and throw it in a ditch

In My Dreams 03:48
When I was young my only dream – was to be a baseball star To hit a fastball low and away – and drive it oh so far But I was never picked to play – no matter what I did I was always the spaz the weirdo – that little wheelchair kid When I got older all I wanted – was to fly to outer space To be a famous Astronaut – everyone would know my face The kids back home would be in shock – when the President shook my hand But then I come crashing back to earth – the wheelchair kid again But in my dreams I’m so tall and strong – and I can run so fast And I’d kiss all the pretty girls – and ask them all to dance Forget about these stupid wheels – and maybe take a chance And maybe I could have one friend – is that too much to ask? Now I’m a man, and I’m no longer – stuck in that wheelchair But, I have these funny crutches – and people still sometimes stare I met a girl just right for me – and that’s really where the story begins And we just had a daughter – so the wheelchair kid wins Now in my dreams I have everything – and the past is all but gone And I’ve got my two pretty girls – What I needed all along Childhood can be hard and mean – but it can sometimes make you strong And it’s often worse on those who tease – because now they know its wrong

I got a million things… I should be doing I got problems that could use some of my time I got people calling me – and places I should be But all I ever think about is you My friends are wondering …what has happened ‘Cause I never do the things that I used to do I’m not getting any sleep – and I know I’m in too deep Because all I ever think about is you I know you said that you’re not ready (And you don’t know if you’ll ever be) I’m here to tell you that I understand (I’ll be there to make you see) Sometimes it’s hard to just see someone Who is standing right in front of you I’ve been holding on…to a feeling I’ve been holding on for no reason it’s true I hear you on the radio – and I forget where I need to go "Cause all I ever think about is you

Everybody I know has got a problem - Everybody I know is out looking for love Everybody I know has got a system - Just find somebody that’s close enough Yeah, but me I’m pretty picky - I need a girl that’s just my style Long hair, short hair, don’t matter much to me As long as she loves, and loves me for a while I’m looking for love - I’m looking for love I keep hearing that Love Hurts - But, I gotta tell ya, a lack of love is so much worse People have all kinds of advice for me - Stop looking for love and the happier you’ll be But I’m looking for love – (in every crowd, on every corner) I’m looking for love – (in every face that I see) I’m looking for love – (better watch out cause I’m coming) I’m looking for love – (if you don’t want it, better stay away from me) I’m looking for love (BREAK) Everybody I know has got a problem - Everybody I know is out looking for love Everybody I know has got a system - Just find somebody that’s close enough Well, yeah I guess I’m just too picky – But I want a girl that’s all my own If she has Tattoos and Glasses, oh my God And reads a book once in awhile, well, what the hell why not I’m looking for love

So tired of living out of this suitcase And lugging these guitars from place to place the truth is I really miss your face So I'm, coming home to you I'm so weary of life on the road If I don't get out soon I'm gonna explode I'm tired of carrying such a heavy load So I'm, coming home to you You knew what you were getting into When you saw me that night up onstage You knew that I was older than you But like you said I never act my age I told you once that my songs were only words But since I met you that's not true 'Cause all these songs are for you One more long day riding in the van The tour is over and we're driving as fast as we can I'm a worn out and tired old man But I'm coming home to you And when I get there I'm gonna buy you that ring I'm not gonna play guitar and I'm not gonna sing I'm not gonna do much of anything Now that I'm home with you

I don’t go down to the ocean - I’ve always been afraid before How does it feel to float on your back - And pretend that you’re miles from shore They say that it goes on forever - And there are places still that no one has ever seen How does it feel to be part of something so big - To float there and wonder what it all means I’ve lived my life – looking behind me Ever mindful of the following sea I’ve kept my heart – away from the water Always worried about how deep it might be So far under me It’s a sea that can come up behind you – and take your boat down so fast It’s as unpredictable as love – comes on strong but never does last So keep your eyes open always – ‘cos god knows, there be monsters here Danger is found ahead and behind – if your heart is true you’ll know where to steer

I'm driving down Pacific Coast Highway And if you're going my way - you can come along Gonna hang me a left on Sunset Its always a safe bet and you can come along I was driving down Pacific Coast Highway With the ocean on my right I was thinking about a girl that used to love me I've been driving all night Sometimes we all make bad decisions Its hard to know what's wrong or right Sometimes I just give up too soon Other times I get lost in the fight So, I'm driving down Pacific Coast Highway And if you're going my way - you can come along Gonna hang me a left on Sunset Its always a safe bet and you can come along Now I'm driving east on Sunset Past the Whiskey and the House of Blues This town has music for everybody Just close your eyes and pick and choose And I remember the way she used to kiss me On the streets of Hollywood Now I'm smiling as I'm driving with the top down She just called me and I'm feeling good I'm driving down Pacific Coast Highway And if you're going my way - you can come along Gonna hang me a left on Sunset Its always a safe bet and you can come along

Every now and then I think about A girl I knew in school, and I Wonder where she is and how she’s doing For she was a green eyed beauty And so far above me, but I Always hoped that someday, maybe we could be Walking together hand in hand And I would be her man And she would be my girlfriend It’s such a happy little dream for me One that makes me smile so easily But it’s only something that I think of now and then Every now and then I tell myself Girl you blew it, ‘cause you Trusted a man that didn’t treat you right And I remember a boy from high school He was cute but I was too cool But still I think about the dream that could have been Dancing together arm in arm At the senior prom And he would be my boyfriend It’s such a perfect little dream for me One that makes my cry so easily But it’s only something that I think of now and then (The years go by), and she’s probably the perfect mother and the perfect wife (The years go by), and he's probably been living the perfect life (The years go by), and I still can’t help but think what could have been) If only she (he) had seen me… Every now and then I find myself Lost in traffic and I Forget just where it is I was going Oh Leena, girl where are you Do you ever get lonely like I do? And do you ever think about a boy so long ago? I wish I knew where you were I wish I knew how you've been But it’s only something that I think of now and then...

Well I am not a perfect man But I'm doing the best I can I'm trying hard to make you see You could do much worse than me My heart is strong my heart is true I'm trying to give it all to you Look around and you will see You could do much worse than me But when I hold you, I often wonder If you're really there with me I never ask you what you're thinking I'm worried that you're never Thinking about me Well, I have loved and I have lost Its always been worth the cost What will be is what will be You could do much worse than me But when I kiss you I always wonder If you're happy there with me I never ask you if you miss me I'm worried that you never Ever do...

I've been waiting here forever I've been waiting for something right I've been waiting for you to call me I've been waiting all my life I've been hoping someone would find me I've been hoping somebody might I've been hoping that you would notice I've been hoping it would be tonight I been carrying around this heart full of holes And my radio says I must be lonely I keep asking but nobody knows And its hard to control my heart full of holes I've been looking for a girl to love me I've been looking all around I've been looking from the mountains to the ocean I've been looking in the lost and found I been carrying around this heart full of holes And my radio says I must be lonely I keep asking but nobody knows And its hard to control my heart full of holes I've been holding out for someone perfect I've been holding out for something strong I've been holding out for something crazy I've been holding out for oh so long I been carrying around this heart full of holes And my radio says I must be lonely I keep asking but nobody knows And its hard to control my heart full of holes
