And This is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew we ever went without The second floor is hard for sneakin???????? out
And This is where I went to school Most of the time had better things to do Criminal record says I broke in twice I must????????ve done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it????????s too late Should I go back and try to graduate Life????????s better now than it was back then If I was them, I wouldn????????t let me in Oh oh oh Oh god I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door I Had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It????????s hard to say it Time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it Time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbyyyyeeee
We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we????????d know We said someday we????????d find out how it feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim????????s the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She????????s had a couple of kids since then I haven????????t seen her since God knows when Oh oh oh Oh god I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It????????s hard to say it Time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it Time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
I miss that town I miss the faces You can't erase You can't replace it
I miss that town I can't believe it So hard to stay Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It????????s hard to say it Time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it It????????s time to say it Goodbye, Goodbye
Look at this photograph Every time I do it makes me laugh Every time I do it makes me. if everyone cared: From underneath the trees, we watch the sky Confusing stars for satellites I never dreamed that you'd be mine But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen I, I'm alive Singing Amen I, I'm alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried, If everyone loved and nobody lied, If everyone shared and swallowed their pride, We'd see the day, when nobody died
And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen I, I'm alive Singing Amen I, I'm alive
And as we lie beneath the stars, We realize how small we are, If they could love like you and me, Imagine what the world could be
We'd see the day, we'd see the day When nobody died We'd see the day, we'd see the day When nobody died We'd see the day when nobody died someday: How the hell did we wind up like this Why weren't we able To see the signs that we missed And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists And unpack your suitcase Lately there's been too much of this Dont think its too late
Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when
Well i hoped that since we're here anyway We could end up saying Things we've always needed to say So we could end up stringing Now the story's played out like this Just like a paperback novel Lets rewrite an ending that fits Instead of a hollywood horror
Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that) Someday, somehow gonna make it allright but not right now I know you're wondering when (You're the only one who knows that)

It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn Thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp When I pulled the cover off,it took away my breath What she called a Chevy was a sixty six Corvette
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills But what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note The date was nineteen-sixty six and this is what it wrote:
He said,"My name is Private Andrew Malone" "If you're reading this,then I didn't make it home" "But for every dream that shattered,another one comes true" "This car was once a dream of mine,now it belongs to you" "And though you may take her and make her your own" "You'll always be riding with Private Malone"
Well it didn't take me long at all,I had her running good I love to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood I had her shining lika a diamond and I'd put the rag top down All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right But it picked up that oldie show,especially late at night I'd get the feeling sometimes,if I turned real quick I'd see A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered,another one comes true This car was once a dream of his,back when it was new He told me to take her and make her my own And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
One night it was raining hard,I took the curve too fast I still dont remember much about that fiery crash Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out They didn't get his name, but I know without a doubt
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone Who fought for his country and never made it home But for every dream that's shattered,another one comes true This car was once a dream of his,back when it was new I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along That night I was riding with Private Malone Oh,thank God,I was riding with Private Malone thers a whole in the world tonight: There's a hole in the world tonight There's a cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love dissappointed. They say that love is just a state of mind. But all this fighting over who will be annointed Oh how can people be so blind?
There's a hole in the world tonight There's a cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder, Cool water running through the burning sand. Until we learn to love one another We will never reach the promised land.
There's a hole in the world tonight There's a cloud of fear and sorrow There's a hole in the world tonight Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
(There's a hole in the world tonight) They say that anger is just love dissappointed. (There's a cloud of fear and sorrow) They say that love is just a state of mind. (There's a hole in the world tonight) But all this fighting over who will be annointed (Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow) Oh how can people be so blind hotel california: On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be Heaven or this could be Hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place Such a lovely place (background) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year Any time of year (background) You can find it here You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany twisted She's got the bright red Benz She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget So I called up the Captain Please bring me my wine He said We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 And still those voices are calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say
Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely Place Such a lovely Place (background) Such a lovely face They're livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise What a nice surprise (background) Bring your alibi's
Mirrors on the ceiling Pink champagne on ice And she said We are all just prisoners here Of our own device And in the master's chambers They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember I was running for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before Relax said the nightman We are programmed to receive
