letra de Someone Is Me
There's aluminium cans an' cigarette butts

Lyin' in the sides of street

Baseball field in the county park

Buried in a blanket of weeds.

There's a swastika sprayed from an aerosol can

Displayed on the overpass

Drivin' around, it's easy to see

This town's goin' down real fast.

Somebody should do somethin' about it

How hard could it be?

Somebody should do somethin' about it

Maybe that someone is me.

Followed a couple into Ferguson's Grille

The doors swung back in my face

Closed my eyes but I felt the stares

When I bowed my head to say grace.

Watched the table of suits stiff the waitress a tip

Like they didn't have a nickel to spare

Walked out in the heat risin' on Main Street

But I felt the chill in the air.

Somebody should do somethin' about it

(Somebody, somebody)

How hard could it be?

Somebody should do somethin' about it

(Somebody, somebody.)

Maybe that someone is me.

I don't expect this world to be Heaven

But it sure could be better

I could sit around bitchin'; stand around waitin'

But I might be waitin' forever.

(Forever, forever.)

Somebody should do somethin' about it

(Somebody, somebody)

How hard could it be?

Somebody should do somethin' about it

(Somebody, somebody.)

Maybe that someone is me...

letra de Someone Somewhere Tonight
Someone somewhere tonight

Is taking their first steps

Letting go of the hands that held them

And trusting themselves

An' somewhere somewhere tonight

Is hearing their last rites

And prayin' with all their might

That there's something else.

So, baby, lie down here beside me

Let's lie real still

An' tell me you love me

And you always will.

Someone somewhere tonight

Is tasting their first kiss

Whisp'ring softly this wish

For this night to go on

While someone somewhere

Is holdin' on to a bottle

Pourin' one more an' hopin' that God will

Get them through till the dawn.

So, baby, lie down here beside me

An' let's lie real still

An' tell me you love me

And you always will, (yeah)

Someone somewhere tonight

Is stuck in a prison

Breathin' but just barely livin'

Behind walls of their own

Ooh, an' someone somewhere tonight

Just found their own wings

An' found some beauty, an' found some meaning

(They found some truth.)

Found some truth in spite of it all.

So, baby, lie down here beside me

An' let's lie real still

An' tell me you love me

And you always will.

And you always will...

letra de Calling Me
There's a back road leadin' off the hard-top

Half-a-mile past the slingshot tree

Wanders round through a million mem'ries

It's callin' me, callin' me.

There's a white house with fading shutters

The old front door that never needed a key

An' I hear my Momma in the hush of the evenin'

Callin' me, yeah, she's callin' me.

An' no matter where I'm goin'

It reminds me of where I'm from

Just as long as I can hear it

I know I'm not too far gone.

There's a first kiss under the willow

Love so honest, it was hard to believe

An' even when my heart is breakin'

It's callin' me, callin' me.

Yes, it's callin' me

(Ooh, yeah, yeah.)

Callin' me, callin' me.

An' no matter where I'm goin'

It reminds me of where I'm from

Just as long as I can hear it

I know I'm not too far gone.

There's a tiny country chapel

Filled with voices singin' harmony

An' when my soul is lost in the silence

Oh, it's callin'; yes, it's callin' me.

Yes it's callin' me.

(Callin' me.)

Callin'

Oh, it's callin'

Yes, it's callin' me...

Half A ManVer letra 3:18

letra de Half A Man
I can chop wood from dusk till dawn

I can swing a hammer till the daylight's gone

I can build a barn, I can make a home with these two hands

But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can fly a plane up in the big blue sky

Blaze a trail through the woods in my four-wheel drive

With a team of horses or an old John Deere, I can plough this land

But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon

Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots

I can run a train till it runs out of track

With the weight of the world laid across my back

My life still wouldn't be worth a damn

If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can build a fire with nothin' but a stick

If I put my mind to it, there ain't much I can't fix

I can read an' count, I can figure things out if you give me a chance

But if I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon

Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots

I can run a train till it runs out of track

With the weight of the world laid across my back

An' my life still wouldn't be worth a damn.

If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

Whoa, I can hang the stars, I can rope the moon

Walk across Texas in these cowboy boots

I can run a train till it runs out of track

With the weight of the world laid across my back.

(Across my back)

But my life still wouldn't be worth a damn

If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

If I didn't have all your love, I'd be half a man.

Ah ha.

Whoa, yeah.

Mmm, mm, mm...

letra de I Can Feel You Drifting
You took me out so far that I can't swim to shore

I've been holdin' on but you're not any more

Our love would always lead us home, constant as the Northern Star

Here's a storm we won't get through 'cause it's not in your heart.

I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach

Out there in the distance, there's something else you need

If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be

I can feel you drifting.

In the silence that's become the company we keep

I realise how far we are from what we used to be

A part of you has gone somewhere that I can't seem to touch

I could stay and take what's left, but, baby, that's not us.

I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach

Out there in the distance, there's something else you need

If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be

I can feel you drifting.

If I could be what's missing, that's all I'd want to be

I can feel you drifting.

I can feel you drifting.

You're out of reach...

letra de The Last Ten Years (Superman)
Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite trip

Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip

But within the realm of our atmosphere

We're 'bout as out of whack as we've ever been in a million years

We watched the Y2K scare in a panic

An' we watched as time proved Nostrodamus wrong

An' we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet

An' cellular replaced the telephone

We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles an' Johnny Cash

We even lost Superman, mhm.

Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed

The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white an' it's about damn time

But we best beware, there's a brand new fight, you see

An' I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy

We watched Oklahoma sifting through the damage

An' we watched a US President get caught

We watched shareholders watch their savings vanish

We all cried when we watched those towers fall

We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam I Am

We even lost Superman, mhm.

Expensive gas an' free downloads

The dot-com boom, an' reality shows

What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess

Satellite radio and hybrid cars

Hand-held computers an' a trip to Mars

It's all become a part of who we are

In the last ten years.

In the last ten years

We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter-Cash

Hell, we even lost Superman

Gonna miss you. Chris...

My PetitionVer letra 4:12

letra de My Petition
I just sat down to watch the game when I heard the doorbell ring

An' I wondered who in the world it could be

Through the peephole, all that I saw there

Was a crooked cap on curly hair an' some kid squintin' back at me

I said, "If you're sellin' somethin', well, I ain't buyin' nothin'

But I appreciate you stoppin' by."

Said: "I ain't askin' for a dime, just a minute of your time

An' your name here on the dotted line

Could you sign my petition?"

Had a spiral notebook in his hand

Handed me a chewed up pen

An' I ask you: "What am I signin' up for."

I scrolled down that wrinkled page

Saw a couple of neighbors names

I kept readin', then I sat down on the porch

It was a letter to the President

With a list that numbered one to ten.

It said: "Make a law where Daddy's don't work late

Keep Uncle Joe an' those soldiers safe

Give those kids on TV all they want to eat

Put a stop to bullies on the bus

No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs

Give a blanket and a job to people on the street."

I said: "Son, sounds like a world I'd like to live in."

And I signed his petition.

He thanked me for my time

I headed back inside, grabbed my beer

An' got back to the game

Thought: "By now that boy he's three doors down

"Here I am just sittin' round

Waitin' on the world to change."

Must've blocked the whole game out

All that I could think about was.

"Make a law where Daddy's don't work late

Keep Uncle Joe an' those soldiers safe

Give those kids on TV all they want to eat

Put a stop to bullies on the bus

No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs

Give a blanket and a job to people on the street."

An' I thought: "Man, ain't that a place I'd like to live in."

And I thank God for that boy that's out there fixin'

The world with his petition...

letra de One Life
If there's a way of makin' time stand still for good

I haven't found it yet

If I could love you for eternity, I would

But I regret

I've only got one life; I've only got one life

An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live

I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart

And I wish I had a hundred more to give

Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do

But I've only got one life to love someone like you.

Can't take my eyes off you, I'm afraid of what I'll miss

It goes by so fast

So I'll treat each moment that I've been blessed, with you

Like it's the last.

I've only got one life; I've only got one life

An' one lifetime's just not long enough to live

I've only got one heart; I've only got one heart

And I wish I had a hundred more to give

Girl, there's so little time and so much I want to do

But I've only got one life to love someone like you.

And I've only got one life and I give it all to you...
