In It With You

You told me love was like a sacred fire
burning higher, not burning down
I never needed you to say it, baby
You can save me I'm learning now
And every time you get away from me
I get lost in you
It's in the simple way you say to me
that I should see it too
There's nothing in it for me unless I'm in it with you
You never needed me to make it, baby
Sometimes maybe not sure of that
It's not as though you can't be sure about it
Never doubt it when you're laying back
And every time and every thing you see
Somehow gets lost on you
It's in the simple way you say to me
That I should see it too
There's nothing in it for me
Unless I'm in it with you
Unless I'm in it with you
Put aside your foolish chase
and open up your pretty place
Hold on tight don't want to fade away from you
It's in the simple way you say to me
That I should see it too
There's nothing in it for me
Unless I'm in it with you
Unless I'm in it with you
Unless I'm in it with you
Unless I'm in it with you, yeah

Labor of Love
02:24
|

|
It's disappointing but everything in life has a price
and sometimes it's too high
Negotiating those choices without losing your soul
can help you get by
Don't confuse success in this life with living it right
You can find satisfaction in things that don't pay
like a bright sunny day
Play your music for free, smile at strangers
Take happiness and give it away
If everything is profit and loss
only a fool wouldn't measure the cost
Well call me a fool but to me
It's a Labor of Love
You shouldn't take too long to decide just where you stand
The beauty is that when you jump
There'll be someone right beside you
who will understand
Oh, if everything is profit and loss
Only a fool wouldn't measure the cost
Well call me a fool
Call me a fool
Call me a fool but to me
That's a Labor of Love

She'd Rather Be With You
03:23
|
|||
|
I've been saving all of my life to
try to impress her, make it right
but you're the only one that she pays attention to
I don't get it, don't understand
but it seems like I'm not in demand
You're the only one who seems to get right through
And to think of all the time I spent thinking I was what you need
Well I can give her all of the good things
and I can love her like you do
For all I've got
She'd rather be with you
I've been searching half my life
to find someone else who's half as right
She looks at me, I'm nothing, she looks right through
I'm so lost, thought I did everything right
Now it's with you that she spends every free night
You're the only one that she'll surrender to
And to think of all the time I spent thinking I was what you need
Well I can give her all of the good things
and I can love her like you do
For all I've got
She'd rather be with you
Now is there anything I can do?
To get her made up mind off of you
Oh, and to think of all the time I spent thinking I was what you need
Well I can give her all of the good things
and I can love her like you do
For all I've got
She'd rather be with you
She'd rather be with you
She'd rather be with you

Fine Wine
05:22
|
|||
|
Nobody wants to hear a tale 'bout what an old guy thinks
Well it's your tough luck that you're here, let me buy you a drink
Cause I'm a-gonna tell you a story where there ain't no hero
Just a plain old tale of a guy trying to make his own road
Now my life story might not be full of sorrow and woe
Just a long hard slog in the end, not much to show
But I did it with style and just a little dollop of grace
And you can see the joy and the sadness written here on my face
Well I've loved and I've lost and I've loved again
I've gained and I've kept my share of friends
I've laughed and I've cried and I've grabbed my share of the vine
And I've aged like Fine Wine
A little brash at the start, oh but I mellow with time
Not too bitter and not too sweet, tart at the start
But you could get used to me
Like a Fine Wine, like a fine wine
Now my daddy tried to tell me at the start, but what did he know
Well I was full of myself and what could the old man really show me
Now I'd like to give you that same sort of advice
But I can see you're just like me, you wouldn't look at me twice
Well I've paid my dues and I've paid my bills
I kept pushing that boulder up that hill
I stopped to smell the roses and I've had me a hell of a time
And I've aged like Fine Wine
A little brash at the start, oh but I mellow with time
Not too bitter and not too sweet, tart at the start
But you could get used to me
Like a Fine Wine, like a Fine Wine
It's not bad getting old, yeah
Like a Fine Wine
A little brash at the start, oh but I mellow with time
Not too bitter and not too sweet, tart at the start
But you could get used to me
Like a Fine Wine, like a Fine Wine
Like a Fine Wine

All I Need
03:43
|
|||
|
Now everybody's gone, it's just me and you
Now we're staring at each other like we don't know what to do
Take me in your arms like when we were kids
We'll do all the things we used to do and things we never did
Sometimes life gets in the way
of seeing the little things that make it sweeter everyday
and of all the things we might find
that we had the most important thing between us all the time
And it's All I Need
Yeah, it's All I Need
Yeah, it's All I Need
to keep me loving you
Once upon a time there was just we two
Then we built something together that was more than me and you
Now look me in the eyes and try to find that kid
Who was looking for the future that she just went and lived
It was all just wishes and dreams
but very patiently, we connected all the seams
and all of the things that we might do
the most important thing is to see this whole thing through
And it's All I Need
Yeah, it's All I Need
Yeah, it's All I Need
to keep me loving you
Now when I look into the mirror everyday
I like the man who's looking back at me
and the only reason that I'm alright with him
is that you seem to be alright with me
And it's All I Need
Yeah, it's All I Need
Yeah, it's All I Need
to keep me loving you
to keep me loving you
to keep me loving you
to keep me loving you

This Old Car
03:19
|
|||
|
Well I'm finally cleaning out the glove box before I turn over the keys
Here's a receipt from Big Johnny's, I think they closed back in '93
The plate screws are frozen solid, I never worried that they wouldn't move
I never thought I'd be parting with her, or with you
And This Old Car she was something special
This Old Car was out of sight
I can't remember a time without her, it's where I spent half my life
And This Old Car brought us together
she's got no purpose now that we're apart
There's just too many memories in This Old Car
Well, remember when we lost the gear box on the way back home from the beach
It was the end of a perfect weekend with the exit just out of reach
Or the time we ran out of road just driving to be out in the night
I never thought that I would ditch her, it's not right
But This Old Car is a looming presence
and This Old Car has too many ghosts
I can't remember a time without her and now I don't want her too close
And This Old Car brought us together
she's got no purpose now that we're apart
There's just too many memories in This Old Car
You should've been there to tell her goodbye
She was just as much a part of you, as was I
Now this Old Car is gone forever
and This Old Car has gone to scrap
and neither of you are coming back now
and wishin' it's just a trap
And This Old Car brought us together
she's got no purpose now that we're apart
There's just too many memories in This Old Car
There's just too many memories in This Old Car
There's just too many damn memories in This Old Car

Slow Day
03:39
|
|||
|
Kicked in the head when the alarm started clanging
Stumbled out of bed to start my working day
Smash my clock on second thought
and eased back under the sheets
It's gonna be a Slow Day
Kicked in the butt by the boss for sandbagging
Buried in paper throughout my working day
Hit happy hour on second thought
and sipped my cares away
It's gonna be a Slow Day
Ooo-la-la I'm not on my way
Nothing lasts forever like a Slow Day
Hanging by the lake or hanging by the pool
Nothing feels better, nothing makes me want to move
On a Slow Day
Busted by my girl for having no ambition
Kind of beats you down throughout the working day
Staying home on second thought
Have some fun under the sheets
It's gonna be a Slow Day
Ooo-la-la I'm not on my way
Nothing lasts forever like a Slow Day
Hanging by the lake or hanging by the pool
Nothing feels better, nothing makes me want to move
On a Slow Day
There's just more to life that slaving away
There's so many hours to drift away
Ooo-la-la I'm not on my way
Nothing lasts forever like a Slow Day
Laying on the beach or laying by the pool
Nothing feels better, nothing makes me want to move
On a Slow Day

Lovers Talk
03:20

Well I said, "Baby let me take you home
I really like the way you walk, let me walk you home"
Well she heard, "I really want to get you alone
Arms length buddy, I'm not sure I like your tone"
It turns, time and time again
Get burned one more time and I'm really reaching for the end
I know, it's just how Lovers Talk
Yeah that's just how Lovers Talk
She said, "It's cool that you hang with your friends,
Well I'll just sit at home and see how the story ends"
Well I heard, "You're always leaving me alone,
one day you might just find out you're on your own"
It turns, time and time again
Get burned one more time and I really reaching for the end
I know, it's just how Lovers Talk
Yeah that's just how Lovers Talk
Come on now
Well it turns, time and time again
Get burned one more time and I'm really reaching for the end
I know, it's just how Lovers Talk
Yeah that's just how Lovers Talk
But I know that's just how Lovers Talk
That's just how Lovers Talk
Well that's just Lovers Talk

I love to see that twinkle in your eye
The one that makes me melt, yeah the one that gets me high
Now I'm heading for December while you're still a summer moon
The time will come when you will have to choose
We met a along the Hudson River side
Well I was greying at the temples then but you pushed that aside
I can tell that there are second thoughts when you come home at noon
The day of your decision's coming soon
Now my smile is just a substitute for things that might've been
and I've been up all night thinking and wonderin' where I've been
Some nights I know I'm losing, some days I say you win
and Maggie, oh Maggie, where in your world do I fit in?
I could just vanish way out West
maybe jump a freight train so that you don't face the test
Well I know that you love me and breakin' me would break your heart
Well I could run so you don't have to start
Now the bottle is a substitute for things that might've been
and I've been up all night drinking and wonderin' where I've been
Some nights I'm drinking whiskey and some nights I drink gin
and Maggie, oh Maggie, where in your world do I fit in?
Now the bottle is a substitute for things that might've been
and I've been up all night drinking and wonderin' where you've been
Some nights I suck down whiskey and some nights I stink of gin
and Maggie, oh Maggie, where in your world do I fit in
and Maggie, oh Maggie, do I fit in?

Chasing Glory
04:34
|
|||
|
From the first time I saw her when I was kid
I knew I had to have her so that's what I did
I set out to find her wherever I could
You might call it a waste not that I would
She hid in the bars and she hid on the road
but mostly she hid out on the radio
Singing to me about a life in the stars
Telling me you could be so much more than you are
I wanted her so bad to notice me
but every time I thought I caught her she just left me
Chasing Glory
Wherever you are
I haven't gone a mile but I've come this far
You promised me riches, you promised me fame
but all I have of you is just a name that I keep chasing
Glory
Well I started to sing and I learned how to play
Made myself worthy of her everyday
Not that she noticed, she was never around
Just out of reach or in the next town
Finally one night, she whispered to me
Look deep in my eyes, do you like what you see
I was selling my soul just as fast as I could
She took it and vanished leaving me where I stood
I thought that what she had would set me free
but every time I thought her caught her she just left me
Chasing Glory
Wherever you are
I haven't gone a mile but I've come this far
You promised me riches, you promised me fame
but all I have of you is just a name that I keep chasing
Glory
Well the dream dies hard but that's how it goes
35 years down this empty road
No one understands me quite like you do
Not that I get that satisfaction from you
You could promise me heaven and I'd have to believe
I wouldn't want to know if there's a card up your sleeve
And not that it matters but I'm still around
If you're still willing, I'm still here to be found
I wanted her so bad to notice me
but every time I thought I caught her she just left me
Chasing Glory
Wherever you are
I haven't gone a mile but I've come this far
You promised me riches, you promised me fame
but all I have of you is just a name that I keep chasing
Glory
