Abilene

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…

Oceans Between Us
04:01
|
|||
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

Heart of Mine
02:56
|
|||
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

Looking For Love
03:21
|
|||
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

the Following Sea
03:34
|
|||
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

Pacific Coast Highway
02:09
|

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...

Worse Than Me
02:30
|
|||
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...

Heart Full of Holes
02:05
|
|||
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
