The Great

Put my feet back on the sand
Of Ocean CIty Maryland
And put my feet back on the ground
Of that Adirondack mountain town
Used to think I liked to be alone
But that was back when I was home
A tree without roots is just wood
And out here I ain't no good
Sometimes I think my name was Alexander
I have visions of magnificent grandeur
Like him I always thought I'd make it big
Like his my mama taught me not to quit
And I do believe I got what it takes
To make the grade mama
To be "the great"
But I'll know the reason why if I don't
How many pop stars you think live at home?

Big Man

If you wanna know what the big man knows
Well come along children I'm a'gonna lay him low
And if you wanna see what the big man sees
Well come along children next it's gonna be me
If you are a child at heart like me
If you never liked teachers acting smart like me
If you always had an itching for a spark like me
Well come along children cause I found us a key
If you wanna know what the big man knows
Well come along children I'm a'gonna lay him low
And if you wanna see what the big man sees
Well come along children next it's gonna be me

Someone

Someone knows your name
They're awfully glad you came
Someone knows the pain of being far away from home
And if you went away
Someone would complain
Someone wouldn't feign they'd let their disapproval show
Someone hears the rain
A thousand miles away
On a gorgeous sunny day in May that someone sits alone
And if you'd only stay
That someone would be saved
A thousand lonely days wondering where the wind will blow

Don't Look Through Me
01:49
|
|||
|
Don't look through me your big glass eyes
Weren't usually so agonized
Ripped and slandered by dogs and sand
Were your whites this bland when we used to play?
I'm grown up now it's not the same
No time nohow for no silly games
But I remember our love so tender
And I would never throw that away
Don't look through me your presence moves me
But don't look through me cause I'm still here
And I'll be coming home
Again
I'll be coming home

Don't come around on Monday
Monday I'll be writing songs
And don't come around on Tuesday mama
Cause Tuesday I'll be long gone
Cause don't I sound good mama
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't come around on Wednesday
Wednesday I'll be on the road
And don't come around on Thursday mama
Cause Thursday I'll be near the coastCause don't I sound good mama
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't try to find me Friday
I won't be taking no calls
And try to find me Saturday mama
Cause Saturday I'll be a starCause don't I sound good mama
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
I'll be in church today mama
And we can spend some time
Better get it while it lasts mama
This here's my last night
Don't come around on Monday
Monday I'll be writing songs
And don't come around on Tuesday mama
Cause Tuesday I'll be long gone
Cause don't I sound good mama
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good
Don't I sound good

Turn on the Light
01:18

|
I don't mean to scare you with my pride Lord
But I've been searching
For some meaning
In my life
And I don't mean to scare you with my height Lord
But it's high time
That I found my
Noble cause
Baby turn on the light
Let a little bit of sun in
Baby turn on the light
Let 'em know we're here
I don't mean to scare you with my pride Lord
But I needed
To see defeated
All my woe

Friction

Don't forgive the ones who say your dreams
Are only
Fiction
They are those who don't know what it means
To feel that
Friction
Someday my shining
Will burn your eyes
I am a lion
With a hunger deep inside
Don't forgive the ones who say your dreams
Are only
Fiction
They are those who don't know what it means
To feel that
Friction
I have decided
Who I'm called to be
No I ain't lying
Just you wait and see
I wanna know that
I'm more than just my dreams
I wanna know that
I'm more than my dreams
Won't let go of what I believe
Hold on hope till it rescues me
All my life I've yearned to see what it means to be freeDon't forgive the ones who say your dreams
Are only
Fiction
They are those who don't know what it means
To feel that
Friction
Someday my shining
Will burn your eyes
I am a lion
With a hunger deep inside
