I Care About You
Gorgeous blue eyes and your long blonde hair
I just wanna lay back and enjoy the view
Cause I care about you
I care about you
We’re on a roller coaster ride and the green lights on
And we gotta cure the habit before the break of dawn
If I seem a bit confused and not sure what to do
It’s cause I care about you
I care about you
I care about you
I care about you
The satellite dish has been turned to red
The sun is setting soon and I just gotta rest my head
There’s only one thing that I wanna do
When I wake up in the morning you’re the first thing on my mind
And the last thought in my head when it’s closing time
You’re the one that I’m in love with and my love is true
And I care about you
I care about you
A new dawn’s a rising and it’s time to shine
Wanna tell the whole world that you’re mine o’ mine
If I’m too much in your face and I obscure your view
It’s cause I care about you
I care about you
I care about you
I care about you
From A Mile Away
Written By Dave Polich
Walked into the bar and said “I’m feelin’ thirsty man”.
Everywhere I go seems they won’t serve you if you’re green.
Waitress took his hand and said, “I know just what you mean”.
(She said) I saw you coming from a mile away.
And I’ve been praying for this everyday.
Now that you’re with me Angel won’t you stay?
I saw you coming from a mile away.
Sally dressed up like a man she walked the town at night.
People on the street said, “Hey, you don’t look quite right”.
Old Blind Joe took pity, said, “I know what you need”.
There is nothin’ wrong with you; it’s the rest that just can’t see.
(He said) I saw ya comin from a mile away.
And I’ve been prayin that I’d see this day.
Now that you’re with me Angel won’t you stay?
I saw you coming from a mile away.
Down on 2nd avenue with the whole world on my head.
To far from redemption and feeling half past dead.
Now the milk of human kindness does not flow so easily.
And baby that’s the reason that you mean so much to me.
Alien stopped in Roswell on his way to the Promised Land.
Taylor
Said, “I wanna sink, I don’t wanna swim”.
One day she said that she just couldn’t take no more.
And she stood right up and walked out the door.
Stood right up.
Taylor was hip Taylor was cool.
She wouldn’t let nobody, make her into a fool.
She could be quaint she could be coy.
But she wasn’t never, ever gonna give her heart to just any boy.
You might say I knew her, knew her well.
She could make you believe in Heaven and Hell
I tried to tell her just how I felt
But when I looked in her eyes, my words would melt.
When I looked in her eyes, my words would melt.
Taylor bought herself a beat-up car and filled it with friends.
She’d drive and drive and drive and drive until the road would end
Traded it in on a bike with training wheels
Said now she understand just how the road feels
Chorus
Repeat 1st verse
You Won’t Ever Love Me
I’ve cried so many tears
But now I’ve decided
I just can’t hide it
From myself
I looked at it from your side
I’ve from deep inside
But now it’s clear
I can’t get near
Near your heart
Because you won’t ever love me
No matter what I do
You won’t ever love me
And one day I’ll stop loving you
I’ve been around the block
I just can’t make it stop
I dialed your number
It rang like thunder
In my heart
I wish I could believe
The words you said to me
You just run 7 Hide
From what you’ve kept inside
For so long
If I could change how you perceive me
If I could forget how you deceived me
But it’s already decided
And you don’t even try to hide it
From yourself
A Chance For Love
It came right up to my door
But I turned my back and said
My heart couldn’t take love anymore
I had a chance for love
A chance for love
One time
I had a chance for love one time
But it slipped right through my hands
I tried to explain myself
But I could never make you understand
I had a chance for love
A chance for love
One time
I had a chance for love one time
And I watched it walk away
And even if I’d had the words
There was nothing left for me to say
I had a chance for love
A chance for love
One time
Honey, Ain’t You Been True?
Cause I’m just sittin’ ‘round here
Sittin’ here all alone
Love to see ya honey, hear your sweet voice tellin’ me 2x’s
Tellin’ me my arms is the only place you wanna be
Cause I been hearin’ stories
They say you ain’t been true
They say I ain’t the only man
Been lovin’ you
Baby wontcha write me, send me a telegram 2x’s
I wanna hear you love me and that I’m your lovin’ man
Now my little darlin’ say you ain’t been playing games 2x’s
Everythings like before, ain’t nothing changed
Baby if you wronged me, gonna have to set you straight 2x’s
So if there’s something you wanna tell me
Tell me now dontcha wait
Lovin’ You
How many ways, can I show you how much I care
I don’t have to try
Or ask myself why
‘Cause it’s just so easy loving you
How many times have we laughed together
How many times have we said we’d love forever
When I hold you tight
All through the night
It’s just so easy loving you
Every day, you give me love so sweetly
Every day, you give your love completely
Then I hold you tight
With all my might
And it’s just so easy loving
Just so easy loving
Just so easy loving you
Back to Texas
And now it brings a tear to my eye
40 East for 30 hours
How I feel, caught me by surprise
I knew one day I’d go back to Texas
Don’t know why I stayed away so long
It feels good to be back in Texas
Though now you are gone, you are gone
Last time I was here, I just came and went
Had to budget my time
76 hours, from start to finish
Lost in my own world, lost in those white lines
Chorus
The good times we had, I’ll always remember
But most of all I’ll remember your smile
I loved you then and I love you now
Even though I haven’t seen you for a while
Chorus
20 Years
Tear was in my eye, and far too much to conceive
Brought her home on a Monday, took her down to the shore
Spread her across the sand and the sea
She didn’t ask for anything more
Follow me down 113
Follow me with your mind
10 miles out of town
20 years back in time
I went back where we used to go, trying to find my head
Searching for a memory, but I ended up lost instead
Now I’m just feeling my way, feeling run down inside
I just need to cool it somehow, I need a really good cry
Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
How can I just let you go, how can it be over so soon
I want to put it all in a box, and hide it up in my room
Can we dream of yesterday, and still have room for now
If there really is a place like this, I’ll find it somehow
Chorus
Not The Same
I thought I saw you
Hadn’t thought about you in a week
Nor tried to call you
But you turned and walked away
When I called your name
And it became clear to me
That it was not the same
So I pulled up the collar of my coat
And re-adjusted my hat
Tried to follow my feet
But they didn’t know where I was at
I was remembering the day
Into my life you came
And it was so clear to me
That it was not the same
Funny how things start out
Like a warm day in September
And before you know it
It’s a cold day in December
There are places you are going
And there’s a place you don’t belong
And it’s no surprise
When you realize
That you must be movin’ on
I watched the sunrise this morning
And I kissed you in my mind
I’d like to move ahead
If I could only find the time
I called out to you
As it began to rain
And all at once, it was so clear
That it was no the same
A Very High Wall
You live in a world so filled with doubt
You put others down to hide the shame
You put up walls to hide the pain
Open the window, take a look outside
See all the things that you try to hide
Instead of running away turn and face the past
Maybe you’ll find some happiness at last
You think we don’t see or understand at all
You’re trying to run before you crawl
You refuse to climb so you’re bound to fall
You’re a little man hiding behind…
A very high wall
You think everyone else gets it so easily
You pay the price while they get it for free
You wallow in denial, anger, and self-pity
This isn’t the way it was supposed to be
It’s just so simple, you can’t understand
Facing your past, make you a better man
You cloud the issues until you just can’t see
I’m telling you the truth but you don’t want it to be
Meet Me At The Light
I realize that now it’s time I’m as sure as I’ll ever be
I fear death for one reason only, I fear what I don’t understand
I pray I won’t be alone I’ll have someone to hold my hand
Meet me at the light Momma
Help me find the way
Meet me at the light Momma
Help me see the way
I promised that I wouldn’t look back and regret what I hadn’t done
I fought a hard battle with sickness and now sickness has won
I want to cry for my wife and children, they’ll have to go on on their own
At least they’ll have each other I hope that I won’t be alone
Meet me at the light Momma
Put my worries at ease
Meet me at the light Momma
Put my heart at ease
Listen I tell my loved one, a promise I’ll make to you
If it’s possible I’ll be there, to help you make it through
In a way I’m happy cause I am on my way
And I will see my Mother once again today
Meet me at the light Momma
I’ve missed you for so long
Meet me at the light Momma
Where have you been for so long?
Meet me at the light Momma
It’s so good to see you again
Meet me at the light Momma
Where have you been for so long?
