What you don’t understand
Is that this is playing it safe
What you don’t understand
Will never come again
It’s like you said
I cannot make you believe in
What you don’t understand
(Chorus)
Yeah, we’re gamblers
It’s what we do
And I left my prayers behind for you
And this is what we learn
Their secrets they burn no more
And if we do not take great risk,
There is no great reward
What you don’t understand,
It’s not about getting there first
What you don’t understand,
Your arrival with prove your worth
And this is where I make my stand
The battle is halfway done and you think you’ve won
‘Cause you don’t understand
(Chorus)
So close your eyes and bide your time
And when your time arrives
You put everything on the line
So find your courage and find your pride
And when your fear has died
You walk that line
Yeah, we’re dreamers
It’s what we do
And I left my prayers behind for you
And this is what we learn
Their secrets they burn no more
And if we do not take great risk,
There is no great reward
And if we do not take great risk
There is no great reward

Sunday Morning

I’ve got to
Get back to…
Oh, our smile’s been missing
And I’ve been
Lost in,
Things I’ve no way of controlling
(pre)
Whoa,
Sunday morning come rushing in
And I’ve,
Got no where to be but bed
(Chorus)
Love,
Take me over again
I,
Haven’t lost that yet
And Lately,
I think,
I’ve been lagging a little bit
Your lying
Is pretty,
So much for the 5 year plan
(Pre)
(Chorus)
And if I do I’m pretty sure
You’ll find my hand and pull me through
‘Cause if I do I’m use to the dark
And you have a way of bringing the moon…
With you
I’ve got to
Get back to…
Oh, our smile’s been missing

Leave 'em All Behind

Your Grand Mama thinks maybe we crossed that line
She’s stuck in the sixties, I’m not here to kill time
80 damn years and man, she lived them all
Inside of 6 miles, she earned that dash on her stone
(Chorus)
And I chose love the be my sanity
And I chose you to be my family
When all of the stars in the sky
Leave me in the darkest of nights
We chose love over your ghosts and lies
Leave ‘em all behind
Now why you want to follow this damaging advice
Spin the clock forward, sit back, and die
She’ll tell you she taught herself to survive
That’s not a lie when it comes from a narrow mind
(Chorus)
So why do you still fear
Tell me why
“Cause if we fail…”
And she trails away
Listen to me, and maybe baby…
When it counts we roll the dice
‘Cause if we never do
We fold to a point of view
And not the truth
And how does that sound to you
(Chorus 2x)

Stand Strong

Stand Strong
Morning rise, side by side
Kiss on the cheek, and finally that’s alright
Put on your shoes, tie them tight
Everything is fine till you walk outside
(Chorus)
Who’s gonna save them if they’re wrong
And who’s gonna face them if you don’t
They took the cross from your side
‘Cause god loves us all, guess he doesn’t love this child
But you could take it back, if you desire
But if faith just controls is that what free men require
(Chorus)
Stand strong, stand strong
My child stand strong
Well maybe that’s the point
Maybe the end is the road
Maybe the strong are suppose to always go it alone
But I’d like to think somewhere on that road
We learn what we believe and not just what we are told
(Chorus)
Stand strong, stand strong
My child stand strong

Tramps
03:56
|

|
Coast clear baby
And times not waiting
Engines roaring
So let’s get going
I’ll kiss you tonight
Under a desert sky
Beyond the sunrise
Lies a Manhattan skyline
Where I can see…
(Chorus)
The Boss, the Big Man, and Miami Steve
Playing songs on the Jersey beach
40 years before I could sing about how
I was ready to break free
I’d sit in my car on a summer’s eve
The road so hot, man, the streets would bleed black tar
And Bruce was singing
For tramps like you and me
Something like a year
With something like fear
I can’t commit to anything
Good that I hear
So before I toss you aside
Like I did them every other time
Hop in this car tonight
And we’ll drive until this thing feels right
You make me feel all right
Yeah, and I can see…
(Chorus)
Well I’ve got this itch
That I just can’t fix
It tells me to run
It says don’t look back now son
One night in the summer’s air
I run my hands through your hair
Look into your eyes
And I feel alive
You make me feel alive
Yeah, and I can see…
(Chorus)
