There Goes My Life

All he could think about was 
I'm too young for this
Got my whole life ahead
hell I'm just a kid myself
how I'm gonna raise one

All he could see were his dreams 
Going up in smoke
So much for ditching this town,
Hanging out on the coast
Oh well, those plans are long gone

And he said
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
Might as well kiss it all good-bye
There goes my life

A couple years of up all night
And a few thousand diapers later
That mistake he thought he made
Covers up the refrigerator
Oh yeah, he loves that little girl

Momma's waiting to tuck her in
As she fumbles up those stairs
She smiles back at him 
Dragging that teddy bear
Sleep tight, blue eyes and bouncing curls

He smiles
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you, Daddy, goodnight
There goes my life

She had that Honda loaded down
With Abercrombie clothes and 15 pairs of shoes and his American Express
He checked the oil and slammed the hood
Said you're good to go
She hugged them both and headed off to the west coast

And he cried
There goes my life
There goes my future, my everything
I love you
Baby good-bye

I Go Back

'Jack and Diane' painted a picture of my life and my dreams
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
'Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to a two-toned shortbed Chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levee
Livin' life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a 50 yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song
I go back
I go back

Well I used to rock all night long to 'Keep On Rockin' Me Baby'
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin' to impress the ladies
I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
'Cause every time I hear that song

I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
And the taste of salt on a Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin' summer fade to fall
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song
I go back
I go back

We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time

So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choir
Singin' 'bout God, brimstone and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church
And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now 'Only The Good Die Young' stops me in my tracks
And every time I hear that song
I go back
I go back

To the feel of a 50 yard line, a blanket, a girl and some raspberry wine
I go back
I go back

To watchin' summer fade to fall, growin' up too fast and I do recall
I go back
I go back

To the loss of a real good friend and the sixteen summers I shared with him
I go back
I go back
I go back

When the Sun Goes Down (with Uncle Kracker)

Suntaned toes ticklin' the sand
Cold drink chillin in my right hand
Watchin' you sleep in the evening light
Restin up for a long, long night

'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Yeah

All day long just takin' it easy
Layin' in a hammock where it's nice and breezy
Sleepin' off the night before
'Cause when the sun goes down we'll be back for more

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
This sweet concoction as smooth as molasses
Nothing to do but breathe all day
'Til the big moon rises and it's time to play

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Yeah

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
She thinks Kracker's sexy when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Uncle Kenny's hotter when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down, hey Uncle Kenny
When the sun goes down over the water
Everything is hotter when the sun goes down

The Woman with You

She hit the door at 6:55
A sack full of groceries split down the side
Canned goods scattered all the way to the curb
The look on her face sayin' 'don't say a word'

So it's me and her and a can of beans
Sittin' there on the front porch swing
Western sky all turnin' red
Head on my shoulder, she sighed and said

I've been gofferin', chaufferin', company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore there ain't nothin' I swear man
That I don't do

I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals
Dancin' backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can't make it through
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you

She said the girl I was with the business degree
Probably wouldn't recognize me
I was gonna run the bank, I was gonna run the math
Now all I wanna run is a bubble bath

Back then, you know, I had this plan
Before all of this reality set in
Here came life, boy, ready or not
Hey I wanted it all and that's what I got

'Cause I'm gofferin', chaufferin', company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore there ain't nothin' I swear man
That I don't do

I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals
Dancin' backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can't make it through
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you

She said I'm gofferin', chaufferin', company chairman
Coffee maker, copy repairman
Anymore there ain't nothin' I swear man
That I don't do

I've been jugglin', strugglin', closin' big deals
Dancin' backwards in high heels
Just when it feels like I can't make it through
She said, it sure is nice to just be the woman, the woman with you

The woman with you

Some People Change

His old man was a rebel yeller,
Bad boy to the bone,
He'd say you can't trust a colored feller
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin

He was raised to think like his dad
Narrow minded and full of hate
On the road to nowhere fast
'Til the grace of God got in the way,

Then he saw the light
And hit his knees and cried and said a prayer
Rose up a brand new man
Left the old one right there

Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope, some people change
Against all odds, against the grain
Love finds a way, some people change

She was born with her mother's habit
Guess you could say it's in her blood
She hates that she's gotta have it
She fills her glass up

She'd love to kill that bottle,
But all she could think about is a better life a second chance
And everyone she's lettin' down
She throws that bottle down

Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope, some people change
Against all odds, against the grain
Love finds a way, some people change

Thank God for those who make it,
Let them be the light
Some people change

Here's to the strong, thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope, some people change
Against all odds, against the grain
Love finds a way, some people change

Yeah
Some people change
Some people change
Some people change

Anything but Mine

Walkin' along beneath the lights of that Miracle Mile
Me and Mary making our way into the night
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides
The pinball bells and the skee-ball slides

Watchin' the summer sun fall out of sight
There's a warm wind coming in off of the ocean
Making its way past the hotel walls to fill the street
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I'm leavin'
Makin' my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

There's a local band playing at the Seaside Pavilion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we're dancin' Mary's wrappin' her arms around me
And I can feel the steam of summer on my skin

In the midst of the music I tell her I love her
And we both laugh 'cause we know it isn't true
Ah but Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there's so much that I long to do to you

But in the morning I'm leavin'
Makin' my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leavin'
Makin' my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

Mary I don't see how you could ever be 
Anything but mine

Keg in the Closet

We had a dog named Bocephus livin' in the front yard
He liked sleepin' out on top of the car,
He drank beer out of a Mason jar,
And he'd climb up on everyone's bed

A white frame house in a college town
A bunch of people always hangin' around
No real problems we needed to drown
But we tried our best anyway

We went to class just to pass the time back in '89

We had a keg in the closet
Pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were going we didnt really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

This old guitar taught me how to score 
Right there on the Lambda Chi porch
Mary Anne taught me a little more 
About wantin what you can't have.

Sweatshirts and flag football
Spring breaks down in Panama,
For awhile we had it all 
we never dreamed it wouldn't last

We went to class just to pass the time back in '89

We had a keg in the closet
Pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were going we didnt really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

We all kinda went our separate ways
But I swear it seems like yesterday.

Keg in the closet
Pizza on the floor
Left over from the night before
Where we were going we didnt really care
We had all we ever wanted
In that keg in the closet

When I Think About Leaving

You know sometimes me and my lady have these crazy fights
And when we do, it makes me wonder if we’re even gonna get it right

When I think about leaving, I think about me
What my life would be like if I were back to being free
Where I wanna go, what I wanna do
I wouldn't have a soul I'd have to answer to
When I think about leaving I think about me

You know I've got a friend and him and his wife just couldn't see eye to eye
He had all he could stand one day and just packed up and said goodbye

When I think about leaving I think about him
And that little apartment 'cross town he's living in
Got an old Corvette, got a new girlfriend
But he only sees his kids every other weekend
When I think about leaving, oh I think about him

I never will forget her face on the day she told me about her dad
How he walked out on her mom when she was just a kid

When I think about leaving, oh I think about her
Only five years old and her heart filled up with hurt
With her little arms wrapped around his neck
Saying Daddy where you goin', are you comin' back
When I think about leaving, oh I think about her

You know the truth is most of the time things are really great
And I know we’ve got something special

When I think about leaving, I think about us
How we're building this love we share on faith and trust
The honest way we talk, the tender way we touch
All those nights we spend makin' love
When I think about leaving, oh I think about us

When I think about leaving, oh I think again
Even though that thought crosses my mind every now and then
In my heart I know I would never leave
'Cause there’s nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
When I think about leaving, I think again

When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving
When I think about leaving, I think again

Being Drunk's a Lot Like Loving You

Well I drank 'til I stumbled, I drank 'til I fell
When the drunk part was over, it hurt me like hell
Now I know about drinkin' so I know one thing's true
Being drunk's a lot like loving you

'Cause I loved 'til I stumbled, I loved 'til I fell
When the loving was over it hurt me like hell
Now I know what a taste of the wrong love can do
Being drunk's a lot like loving you

And I've woke up some mornings and sworn off the drink
At that I've done reasonably well I think
But I haven't done well swearing off you and me
At that I've failed miserably

Well I've felt the hangover of loving all night
I've sat at the bar all alone in a fight
I've bottled up feelings and poured 'em out too
Being drunk's a lot like loving you

And I've woke up some mornings and sworn off the drink
At that I've done reasonably well I think
But I haven't done well swearing off you and me
At that I've failed miserably

Well I drank 'til I stumbled, I loved 'til I fell
When the drunk part was over, love hurt me like hell
Now I know about drinking so I know one thing's true
Being drunk's a lot like loving you

Oh I know what a taste of the wrong love can do
Sometimes I still get drunk loving you

Outta Here

Let's leave town on a permanent vacation
Lock up the house, pack up the station wagon
Make paradise our final destination
As long as we're outta here

There ain't no time like the present they say
Lets cruise all the way down A1A
Put the top down and catch a few rays
Baby we'll be outta here

Anywhere you want to go
As long as its sunny weather
Let the time fly by I don't mind
As long as we're together

South of the border there's a place I know
Where James Taylor sang about Mexico
And the sun's so hot we'll forget to go home
Baby we'll be outta here

Anywhere you want to go
As long as its sunny weather
Let the time fly by I don't mind
As long as we're together

Maybe drive to the country down to the lake
See if the catfish are jumpin set our bait
And if we come up dry 
We'll just sleep in late

At least we'll be outta here
As long as we're outta here
Baby lets get outta here
Outta here

Come on baby lets get outta here
Cruise down A1A
Go hang out in Key West for awhile

Old Blue Chair

There's a blue rocking chair sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms and well-oiled hands
It sways back and forth with the help of the winds
It seems to always be there like an old trusted friend

I've read a lot of books wrote a few songs
Looked at my life, where it's going, where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus windshield
But nothing compares to the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
When I sit in that old blue chair

From that chair I've caught a few fish and some rays
And I've watched boats sail in and out of Cinnamon Bay
I let go of a lover that took a piece of my heart
And prayed many times for forgiveness and a brand new start

I've read a lot of books wrote a few songs
Looked at my life, where it's going, where it's gone
I've seen the world through a bus windshield
But nothing compares to the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
To the way that I see it
When I sit in that old blue chair

That chair was my bed one New Year's night
When I passed out from too much Malibu and Diet
And I woke up to a hundred mosquito bites
I swear I got 'em all sitting right there
In that old blue chair

There's a blue rocking chair sittin' in the sand
Weathered by the storms and well-oiled hands

Live Those Songs (Live)

Saw him sittin' on a sidewalk in Fresno
Braided hair and a tie-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin' to himself about Vietnam
About the tour he did and the deal he got
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else I tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on Panama beach
in the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

Saw him workin' the counter at Walgreen's
With a new haircut and a bachelor's degree
Talkin' to himself about his raw deal
Cussin' Uncle Sam and the GI bill
He said this world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else I tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on Panama beach
in the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

He said this world ain't the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, I tell you where I'd be

I'd be rollin' on a river with Credence
Stealin' kisses from Peggy Sue
I'd be knee-deep in sand on Panama beach
in the spring of '72
I'd be wastin' away on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll in
He said what I wouldn't give just to live those songs again

What I Need to Do (Live)

I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do
I was wastin' her time, waitin' on dreams that just weren't comin' true
And this old highway seems to understand
It's leadin me on to somewhere where no one knows my name
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
I'm doin' all I can to get my mind off us

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
and run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on and on and on

Eighty-seven more miles will get me into Baton Rogue
There's a buddy of mine who says he might find some work that I can do
Or maybe head up north to Knoxville, Tennessee
I know my baby sister has got a couch where I can sleep
Now the sun's goin' down on my broken heart
Lord, I gotta get back before I go too far

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
and run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on and on and on

But I drive on
Yes I drive on and on and on
Knowin' what I need to do
Girl I'm coming home to you

Please Come to Boston

Please come to Boston for the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends
And they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said no, boy, you come home to me

She said hey ramblin' boy why don't you settle down
Boston ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Please come to Denver to see the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains
So far we can't be found
And throw 'I love you' echoes down the canyons
And then lie awake at night 'til they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said no, boy, you come home to me

And she said hey ramblin' boy why don't you settle down
Denver ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

Now that drifter's world goes round and round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams he's lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I need somebody I can cling to
Somebody he can sing to

He said please come to LA to live forever
A California life alone is just too hard to build
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars that fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to LA
I just said no, boy, you come home to me

And she said hey ramblin' boy why don't you settle down
LA ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold and there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee

I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee
Tennessee
