“Stand” Life's like a novel With the end ripped out The edge of a canyon With only one way down Take what you're given before its gone Start holding on, keep holding on

“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then I walk alone

“Sorry Ms. Jackson” I'm sorry Ms. Jackson I am for real Never meant to make your daughter cry I apologize a trillion times

“I Remember You” Woke up to the sound of pouring rain, The wind would whisper and I'd think of you. And all the tears you cried, that called my name. And when you needed me I came through. I paint a picture of the days gone by, When love went blind and you would make me see. I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes. So that I knew you were there for me, Time after time, you were there for me.

“Green Grass Grows” 6 lanes, tail lights, red ants marchin' into the night, they disappear to the left and right again. Another supper, from a sack, a 99 cent heart attack. I got a poundin' head and an achin' back, and the camel's buried in a big straw stack.

continued I'm gonna live where the green grass grows, watchin' my corn pop up in row's. Every night be tucked in close, to you. Raise our kids where the good lord's blessed, point our rockin' chair's towards the west, plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows, where the green grass grows.

“Life Ain’t Always Beautiful” Sometimes it's just plain hard Life can knock you down It can break your heart You think you're on your way It's just a dead end road At the end of the day

continued But the struggles make you stronger And the changes make you wise And happiness has it's own way Of taking it's sweet time No life ain't always beautiful Tears will fall sometimes Life ain't always beautiful But it's a beautiful ride

“Love Story” Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess It's a love story baby just say yes

“Wanted: Dead or Alive” I'm a devil on the run A six gun lover A candle in the wind, yeah! Well they tell me that I'm wanted Yeah, I'm a wanted man I'm a colt in your stable I'm what Cain was to Abel Mister catch me if you can I'm going down in a blaze of glory Take me now but know the truth

“Look What You Have Done” Take my picture off the wall If it just won’t sing for you 'Cause all that's left has gone away And there's nothing there for you to do Oh, look what you've done You've made a fool of everyone Oh well, it seems likes such fun Until you lose what you had won

“I Can See Clearly Now” I can see clearly now the rain has gone I can see all obstacles in my way Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind It's going to be a bright, bright sunshiny day I think I can make it now the pain has gone And all of the bad feelings have disappeared Here is the rainbow I've been praying for It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day Look all around there's nothing but blue skies Look straight ahead nothing but blue skies

“Knocking on Heaven’s Door” Mama take this badge from me I can't use it anymore It's getting dark too dark to see Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door
