Well I wish that I was born in the 1930s when life was simple and all the girls looked pretty and I wish that I was a big time actor All the girls would try to change me from a Bachelor If I was a big time Hollywood Movie Star I would hang out with Clark Gable and Errol Flynn would let me use his car I'd hang out with Kate Hepburn and Betty Davis too and I'd help ol' Bazzle Rathbone solve a case or two I'd walk down a busy street and everyone one would stare I'd spend all of my money and never even care If I was a big time Hollywood Movie Star I would hang out with Clark Gable and Errol Flynn would let me use his car So I wish I could find a way to travel bag in time to be discovered by a big shot when I'm down to my last dime I'd become real famous, I'd own a limousine and everyone would say, I'm the best they've ever seen If I was a big time Hollywood Movie Star I would hang out with Clark Gable and Errol Flynn would let me use his car I'd hang out with Clark Gable

Beautiful, oh spacious skies You're beautiful in my eyes You're wonderful when I'm deep inside You're wonderful by my side I'm overboard and underground, all is lost and never found The message is clearly sent Pick me up and knock me down, shove my face into the ground Trail away scraping cement You're everything to me You're everything that I've dreamed But it's astonishing and a big surprise It's astonishing, all of your lies I'm overboard and underground, all is lost and never found The message is clearly sent Pick me up and knock me down, shove my face into the ground Trail away scraping cement You're dangerous, catastrophe You're dangerous with what you've done to me But it's ridiculous and plain to see The parody, even the blind can see m overboard and underground, all is lost and never found The message is clearly sent Pick me up and knock me down, shove my face into the ground Trail away scraping cement Hypocrisy, you still believe in everything that you never preach Sincerity will set you free Sincerity, just a dream...

Guitar Hero 04:23
Momma, she's got a problem She gets my prescription drugs for free Step Daddy, he don't want to solve it cuz he's addicted to prescriptions just like me My sister's got a Ferrari Outside for everyone to see For Christmas, she bought me an Atari It's the only gift I'll ever get for free Sorry's just an answer when accidents are done purposely Could you please give me direction cuz I can't seem to read all the signs My girlfriend, she's really awesome but she loves all the singers after me a magician, she's always disappearing then reappearing quarter after 3 Sorry's just an answer when accidents are done purposely Could you please give me direction cuz I can't seem to read all the signs Everybody's a Guitar Hero when starring inside their T.V. but I would rather trade those plastic buttons for some good old fashioned metal guitar strings Sorry's just an answer when accidents are done purposely Could you please give me direction cuz I can't seem to read all the signs Everybody's a Guitar Hero...

Back in the day when I was still happy and free An upstanding citizen in sobriety before the bottle tore me from society cuz now the Whiskey is the only thing I drink Smoke fills the air as I walk through before I sit I'm yelling for a brew Pop the top down a shot or two Swallow more I'm closer to the truth 12 steps closer to my misery Beer glasses the only way I see My Higher Power is calling me saying it's time to come back home So I confront you about the venom that you spew and you tell me that I am one of quite a few I kick you out cuz all my nightmares have come true and now there's only one thing left for me to do Get back up on my Whiskey Train I give in but you keep coming after me This moment ain't what I thought this ought to be Do what you say but you keep trapping me with these half plastic blasphemies A fantastic cock block catastrophe cuz you never give me what I need You keep coming home past three drunk again passed out in bed.

Paid My Dues 03:47
Work 9 to 5 and nights trading sleep for appetites that don't eat Plastic cards used all the time depleting the funds that put shoes on my feet Hand to the sky as it falls asleep, cabs driving fast past me Time passes by but it's way past me, tread ahead but don't fall too deep So spread the news So much that's left to prove Bring me down but I refuse cuz I've paid my dues Bridges burn with nowhere to turn, broken tracks but I ain't looking back Slippery when it's wet keep my feet dead set you're gonna get what you get Never learned to sat away from hurt a sick trick to keep my walls built thick Careful what you wish I can take what you dish my pride's the one thing left So spread the news So much that's left to prove Bring me down but I refuse cuz I've paid my dues Work 9 to 5 and nights trading sleep for appetites that don't eat Plastic cards used all the time depleting the funds that put shoes on my feet Hand to the sky as it falls asleep, cabs driving fast past me Time passes by but it's way past me, tread ahead but don't fall too deep So spread the news So much that's left to prove Bring me down but I refuse cuz I've paid my dues

Now you tell me that you love me Now you tell me that you care Now you'll say that you'll forgive me But I know there's no love there It always seems like things don't matter It always seems like you don't care and you know that it only makes me madder at you everytime I see you here Now you tell me that you love me Now you tell me that you care Now you'll say that you'll forgive me But I know there's no love there Sometimes I just don't understand the garbage running through your head and I know that I just cannot stand it...it's true when you're trash is laying in my bed Now you tell me that you love me Now you tell me that you care Now you'll say that you'll forgive me But I know there's no love there I thought that you could see the change in me I thought that you could read the signs You always blamed the fights on me, not you You can't see through blinded eyes Now you tell me that you love me Now you tell me that you care Now you'll say that you'll forgive me But I know there's no love there

Maria 05:43
Maria tonight is featured, 103 fever, she'll get you hot Maria, so nice to meet you, I thought I dreamed you so please don't stop Maria knows how to read you, she turns the haves into the have nots You'll believe her until she leaves you You better hold on to what you got But there you go and I should have known that you'd leave me all alone at the end of the song Maria knows how to touch you, she's always teasing you're favorite spot Maria, she'll have you spending, eating and drinking until the last drop But there you go and I should have known that you'd leave me all alone at the end of the song Maria, she looks like a keeper, a beautiful creature, inside she's not She'll deceive you and you'll believe her you better be careful not what you thought But there you go and I should have known that you'd leave me all alone at the end of the song

Once had a romance I once took a big chance I once had a romance I once took a big chance I once was in Heaven Kicked out a quarter past seven I once was in Heaven Kicked out a quarter past seven Deceit defeats the light in the shadows I wallow away I once had a big fight Now I sleep alone at night I once had a big fight Now I sleep alone at night Deceit defeats the light in the shadows I wallow away Keep me out of sight, don't want you see me losing all that I am I once was committed Now I've been committed

I once talked to an old man and asked him for the truth He told me not to worry about it, just keep my youth Then he did tell me one thing that I should mind Never say never, you'll regret it every time Never say never, cuz you never know what's around the next bend, is it rain or is it snow? Never say never, or you will find that nothing is a sure thing, you gotta read the signs I once had me a young girl who loved me true and true She said she'd never let me go, she said that I love you Then she said she's never leave, I didn't know what to do Cuz I know to never say words that are untrue Never say never, cuz you never know what's around the next bend, is it rain or is it snow? Never say never, or you will find that nothing is a sure thing, you gotta read the signs I once took to the highway to try to find myself I rambled through 11 states, working on my 12th I told myself don't ever stop until I satisfy that empty feeling deep inside that says you'll never die Never say never, cuz you never know what's around the next bend, is it rain or is it snow? Never say never, or you will find that nothing is a sure thing, you gotta read the signs Nothing is a sure thing Nothing is a sure thing Nothing is a sure thing You gotta read the signs
