See the clock, upon the wall
It tells the time, for one and all
Words that you say, and the things that you do
Without a doubt, will come back to you
Tryin' hard, to make ends meet
You find yourself on that dead-end street
Takes a while, to understand
The way things work, for the common man
Try to stand, on your own two feet
But if it gets you down now, I'll help you...
Find a way to make it through
I'll be right there for you
Any time you trip and fall
All you got to do is call
People are pushin' to make a buck
You're not the only soul, to run out of luck
It's a struggle all day, just to get things done
You find out the hard way, you're not the only one
I heard you say, some time ago
You find it hard, to let your feelings show
Pushin' and pullin', it ain't no fun
Everybody's got to work as one

Long Road Back Home
06:03
|
|||
Came home last night, after workin’ all day
Tried to make small talk, had nothin’ to say
From a love that burned so bright, now it’s faded away
I’ll take the long road back home now
This love has gone away
We started out, the feelin’ was strong
Everyday we drift further, but we still hang on
All the things that we say now, only tear us apart
I’ll take the long road back home now
Make a brand new start
We took a chance but we found, heartache everyday
We gave it our best shot, now we walk away
Same old story now, just part of a game
I’ll take the long road back home now
Try to make a change
It all comes down, to how you weather the storm
Memories fading now, but I’m happy alone
People like the sunshine, but I love the rain
I’ll take the long road back home now
Try to make a change

Harder To Let You Go
03:44
|
|||
You seem to know what I'm thinking, anytime that you're near
I won't say too much now baby, I gotta know what you wanna hear
We try to keep a secret, but everybody knows
Sometimes it's hard to be together, but it's harder to let you go
Maybe I don't really get it, but I'm learnin' as we go
Sometimes it's hard to be together, but it's harder to let you go
Bridge:
We've got to take a little time, to see what we've got to give
A little love and understanding, makes for a whole lotta peace of mind
Maybe I don't really get it, but I'm learnin' as we go
Sometimes it's hard to be together, but it's harder to let you go

You say your heart’s not feelin’ anything
‘cause things ain’t goin’ so good
Put your money on that number, but it never comes in
Seems like bad luck is my best friend
Bad luck is my best friend
You say life, just ain’t worth livin’ now
Take a look around and you’ll see
Just how many people, are doin’ it just as tough
You know bad luck is my best friend
Seems like bad luck is my best friend
Bad luck is my best friend
I gotta to work out a way to win this
All my worries try to keep me down
You see me fightin’ the good fight, but I'll never give in
You know bad luck is my best friend
Seems like bad luck is my best friend
Bad luck is my best friend

Two cups of coffee, sit upon the kitchen bench
Still warm, but they’ll be cold before too long
Fifty years together, came to a sudden end
It’s hard to say goodbye to your best friend
A lazy day, stretched out before them
So many years of love, cut down in pain
She’ll never be the same without him
It’s hard to say goodbye to your best friend
Makin’ plans, for the future
Seems like the last thing on her mind
Fifty years together, came to a sudden end
It’s hard to say goodbye to your best friend

Make Everything Alright

Won't you dig a little deeper, I wanna open up to you
When I'm feelin' lost and lonely, I know your love will see me through
Winter brings a cold chill, now the day turns into night
I'm waiting for my lover, to make everything alright
Make everything alright
You might think I'm only foolin', let me show you how I feel
I'm gonna wrap my arms around you, then you'll know my love is real
When I feel my life is slippin', and nothin' turns out right
I'm hopin' that my lover, will make everything alright
When I wake up in the morning, and I feel you by my side
Winter brings a cold chill, now the day turns into night
I'm waiting for my lover, to make everything alright
When I feel my life is slippin', and nothin' turns out right
I know that my lover, will make everything alright
Make everything alright

Lonely Part Of Town
04:58
|
|||
It's a hard place to live, you carry this heavy load
You try not to worry, but these thoughts they just won't go
Try to think of something, that will take away the pain
But each time you find out, that the pain remains the same
It's a hard place to live, when your baby's not around
I feel I've got to move away from, this lonely part of town
Lonely part of town
It seems like a long time, but it's only been a year
Since you held me close, and said the things that I long to hear
I'm a fool to wanna suffer, and wallow in my tears
But the love we had, will stay with me through the years
It's a hard place to live, when your baby's not around
I feel I've got to move away from, this lonely part of town
Lonely part of town, this lonely part of town

Slip Away
05:00
|
|||
Workin' everyday now,
never let a chance go by
People wonder why
Livin' through the hard times,
always tryin' to make ends meet
Any way I can
Watched it fall apart
Let it slip away
Try not to worry now,
I know what that's all about
I've been down that road
You wanna please everybody,
instead of takin' time at home
Now I spend my time alone
Watched it fall apart
I let it slip away
I had everything
Let it slip away
Let it slip away
Livin' through the hard times,
always tryin' to make ends meet
Any way I can
You wanna please everybody,
instead of takin' time at home
Now I spend my time alone
Watched it fall apart
I let it slip away
I had everything
Let it slip away
Let it slip away

Here comes that hurt again
You know I've been here once before
I'll put my heart on the shelf for you, and sit here waitin' for your call
What can the matter be
She's closed the door once again
Her kiss is just a memory, until she wants me back again
You and me, we tried to get along
But there's always somethin' missing
My only hope is, that sooner or later
That she wants me back again
I'm sinkin' down again
My poor heart ain't been so low
I know that she can lift me up again
When she will I'll never know
I know that she can lift me up again
When she will I'll never know
I know that she can lift me up again
When she will I'll never know
Here comes that hurt again

It takes a fool to keep on tryin’
Any loser will understand
Life will never go so easy
When you play that losin’ hand
You’ll find out
You learn first hand
Many a fool will understand
Many a fool will understand
You gotta reach out for your brother
Gotta lend a helpin’ hand
Every day it’s gettin’ harder
To find someone to understand
Every minute, every hour
All day long it’s just the same
Try to live my life without you
I walk the streets to ease the pain
You’ll find out
You learn first hand
Many a fool will understand
Many a fool will understand

Night Walkin'
05:40
|
|||
You don't know it's over, till it's way too late
Gave your love and everything, always give and never take
Sad to see it come to this, but you know it happens all the time
To see your life in pieces now, like a train wreck on a lonely line
I'm goin' out nightwalkin, that's what I'm gonna do
Till you tell me the things I wanna, hear from you
You go back through the memories, the time that she did you wrong
All the words are fading now, shadows are getting long
So many times you've given her, the benefit of your doubt
Sad to see it come to this, all your love's run out
I'm goin' out nightwalkin, that's what I'm gonna do
Till you tell me the things I wanna, hear from you
She takes her time to tell you, everything's gonna be alright
Only lies are livin' here, as the day turns into night
Sad to see it come to this, but you know it happens all the time
To see your life in pieces now, like a train wreck on a lonely line
I'm goin' out nightwalkin, that's what I'm gonna do
Till you tell me the things I wanna, hear from you
