DRIVE
All your life you drive alone
You leave behind every home
You run away from all things deep
And fight too much in your sleep
How far you gonna drive that car
Your fear is stronger than you know
That is why you always go
Faster Faster than you should
You gotta be first better than good
How far you gonna drive that car
How far, how far, how far you going drive that car
You got no where to go but how far you gonna drive that car
Behind the wheel is a lonely place
Far away from the human race
I hope one day you find a home
Cause nobody likes to be alone
How far you gonna drive that car
How far, how far, how far you going drive that car
You got no where to go but how far you gonna drive that car
I think of you when I’m feeling down
And the days when I made that sound
Running from all things deep
And fighting too much in my sleep
How far you gonna drive that car
Life is funny the way it works
You never know what’s gonna hurt
Don’t be afraid to live each day
Cause fear will take it all away
How far you gonna drive that car
How far, how far, how far you going drive that car
You got no where to go but how far you gonna drive that car
You got no where to go but how far you gonna drive that car

STRONG GIRL
The rumor has it that you lied
The rumor has it that you made me cry
Everyone bites their tongue
And I’m the only one left here not knowing why
It’s time to walk away from all the things you say
It’s time to strike out on my own
Before the sun will rise, I will dry my eyes
And I will walk out in this world
A Strong Girl
The rumor has it that nothings right
The rumor has it that I’ve seen the light
I must agree it’s right in front of me
The rumor has it and the rumor’s right
It’s been wrong, I’ll be moving on
It’s been tough, I’ve had enough
Cause I’m a strong girl
The rumor has it that I’ve left the room
The rumor has it I won’t be back soon
Cause I’d rather be dead than stick around with you
The rumor has it The rumor’s true
It’s time to walk away from all the things you say
It’s time to strike out on my own
Before the sun will rise, I will dry my eyes
And I will walk out in this world
A Strong Girl

UNSURE
I've come here to ask you dear I need you to burn down my fears
I got about the contents of your heart You tell me you love me and all the above but I got to make sure that this is love before I lose my site and I go blind
How can I be sure of you
How can I be sure of you
You're so cute and your my man and I'm going to the everything I can to keep this, keep it going on. But I know something aint right when you come home late every night baby I'm no fool I can see the light
How can I be sure of you
How can I be sure of you
How can I be sure
You told me you love me with all your heart
You told me you love me from the start
You told me you love me with all your heart
Cause I got a feeling that I've been wronged and that something has been going on for such a long long long long time. You tell me I'm imagining that woman's voice when the telephone rings at 3am and you pick up the phone.
How can I be sure of you
How can I be sure of you
How can I be sure

GREEN TOADS
Black eyed monsters green toads and such
Things that little girls are afraid to touch
Your mama told you be a good girl
Your daddy promised you the world
What you got there down deep inside
What you got there that you need to hide
What you got there deep in your soul
Is it Love, Is it Love, Is it Love
You keep building building those walls
The higher they are the harder they fall
Let's light a match and burn em down
It's time for you to come around
What you got there down deep inside
What you got there that you need to hide
What you got there deep in your soul
Is it Love, Is it Love, Is it Love
So you're feeling lonely and confused and feeling used up and you're trying to find yourself, well I'm just trying to help. I like to say the glass is half full you like to say it's empty and that's bull.
So open your eyes and maybe you'll see
That you have never been free
And if you can't find the words to say
You best get on your knees and pray.
What you got there down deep inside
What you got there that you need to hide
What you got there deep in your soul
Is it Love, Is it Love, Is it Love
Is it Love, Is it Love, Is it Love

REDBONE
Somebody stole my heart away I thought it was you.
Somebody held me tight, it felt like you
Gave my love to the man of my dreams he looked like you
He spoke of always loving me he talked like you
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain got no where to go.
No cover to keep me dry feeling oh so blue.
All I do is I look in your eyes I see it's true
Yes the man who owns my heart used to be you
What happened to you
So if you see that man of mine won't you bring home
But don't you bother knocking on my door if you're alone
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain got nothing to do
No lover to keep me dry I'm feeling oh so blue
He walked through the door and looked at me
Kept on walking straight to me
Grabbed me by the heart held me in his arms
He kissed me wth a passion I never knew
Was it just a dream or was it you
Standing still in the pouring rain waiting for my man
That you used to be when we held hands
When we touched, when we kissed, when we made love that was my man
Standing still in the pouring rain doing the best I can
**********************
THE LIGHT
I was young many years ago Looking for what I didn’t know
Found a man with a pretty smile and he kept me happy for a little while
Turns out that he was no good and I didn’t do what I should
I fell in love with a bad bad man Just trying to do the best I can
I see the Light
Everyday I used to think of him trying to make his love begin
He was always on my mind but he didn’t give, give me the time
Cause he had himself another girl, he had himself another world
And I was left out in the cold Man this life is getting old
I see the light
Mama told me to be the best not to be like all the rest
To hold on to myself and get up strong if I fell
Next time I won’t get it all wrong I won’t sing the same old song
I’ll fall in love with a good good man and keep on doing the best I can
I see the light
*************
TIRED
I’m tired, so tired, tired of being alone
I’m tired, so tired of having no one to call my own
I’m tired, so tired, I’m tired of being alone.
I’m lost, so lost, lost without love in my life
I’m lost, so lost and I don’t see no one in sight
I’m lost without love, lost without love in my life
There was a time I thought I was happy,
A time I thought I was cool
Running around like nobody business acting like a fool
But I’m lost so lost lost without love in my life
I’m lost and alone and can’t see nobody in sight
I had good love in front of me but I couldn’t see
I was trying so hard to make sure that I was free
I’m blue so blue just wanna find a love that’s true
Cause I’m tired of being lost, I’m tired of being blue So Blue
*****************
NOBODY HERE BUT ME
I've walked these streets so many times, I've paid my dues, I got some fines
Cried a river over spilt milk, I did a lot of things that left some guilt
And I tried to blame those years before, but I know that I closed every door
I know it’s me that’s brings me down, It’s my noise that makes that sound
Aint nobody here, aint nobdy here, aint nobody here but me
You know sometimes it’s hard to get fresh air when disappointment lives in the air
It’s hard to breath on those smoggy days but only I can make it go away
And I tried and I’ve tried but I must confide, it’s so much easier to run and hide
But pulling the covers over my head is like one step away from being dead
Aint nobody here, aint nobdy here, aint nobody here but me
Nobody here but me baby……Nobody here but..
I got my family, my friends and family but still aint nobody here but me.
So I walk down that bumpy road there's times I carry a heavy load
But that’s the way life's meant to be and only I can set me free
My strength is there just not always that strong but I’ll get there no matter how long
It takes to be the girl I was you know the girl I am I am because
Aint nobody here, aint nobdy here, aint nobody here but me
Nobody here but me baby………………………….
I got my family, my friends and family but still aint nobody here but me.
EXTRA VERSE
I’ve got so much water under my bridge It’s hard to remember being that kid
That looked at life through a crystal ball And climbed every tree after taking a fall
I know she’s there I can feel her smile she comes alive inside of me every once in a while
It’s time to bring her home to stay cause that’s the only way
******************
FAIR
I’m gonna learn to walk again,
I’m gonna learn to talk again
I’m gonna stand on my own again
I’m gonna find my truth again
Cause your love was never fair
Nothing you ever shared
I know that you never cared for me
I’m gonna learn to smile again
I’m gonna learn to laugh again
I’m gonna be myself again
I’m gonna find my truth again
Cause your love was never fair
Nothing you ever shared
I know that you never cared for me
So I’m gonna fly away from you as far and as fast as my wings can move.
I’m gonna learn to live again
I’m gonna learn to really sing again
I’m gonna fall in love again
I’m gonna fall in love again
Cause your love was never fair
Nothing you ever shared
I know that you never cared for me
So I’m gonna fly away from you
******************
