i didn't chose this life, it chose me

When I was just a little boy, Grandpa had me, bouncing on his knee.
Telling me stories, about life, and how things used to be.

he told me boy this life is filled with cross roads, we've gotta make hard decisions everyday.
And we can a spend our whole lives wondrin. How it might have came out, if we had just gone the other way.

but in the end, what's it really matter,
we all, gotta play the cards were dealt.

And all the consequences ,of my, decisions.
Well they are there, in those pictures, that line that shelf.

and I wouldn't trade this life, I'm living.
As then I might not have this boy here on my knee.
And I know, he's gonna write his own history.

He's gonna change this world, you'll see.
and one day, hell be lookin back, backward. With his own, grandson, on his knee.

yeah son, that's the real beauty, of living this life and being free.
And even though I got to make the choices, hell I know, the one in charge it wasn't me. 0

I was just following my directions, wrote by, the man, who deals the cards.
Following, a path, that had been written, long before he put me in charge.

so son I just hope, you remember.
To thank him, once, in a while.

for all of your bad decisions, cause in the end they'll all work themselves out.
And if your lucky they'll lead to memories, and pictures to line your own shelves.

yes we get to make our own choices, its the beauty of being free.
But in the end I think you'll agree. T
the one thing I can say for certain, i didn't chose this life, it chose me.

She's gonna love you like a chainsaw.

She's gonna love you like a chainsaw.
get you heated up then leave you raw.
lure you in with that pretty smile.
Has that moves ll drive a man wild.

She'll seduce you with those pretty eyes.
hypnotize with those tight thighs.
While your there she'll make you feel alive.
everyman that loves her eventually cries.

She's gonna love you like a chainsaw.
get you heated up then leave you raw.
lure you in with that pretty smile.
Has that moves drive a man wild.

Her kind of love is fast and hard.
Never lasts and leaves your scarred.
Rips you up inside and out.
torn to pieces before you have time to shout.

She'll seduce you with those pretty eyes.
You'll fall in love with those tight thighs.
Once your in she'll make you feel alive.
everyman that loves her eventually cries.

She's gonna love you like a chainsaw.
get you heated up then leave you raw.
lure you in with that pretty smile.
Has that moves drive a man wild.

from hello to goodbye...

just a poet looking for a song,
found one with her, tried to sing along,
it felt so right,
we both knew it was wrong,
but wrong or right those feelings were so strong,

from hello to goodbye,
lord it was such a ride,
kind of feelings make you feel alive,
from hello to goodbye,

the pretty smile from my cheesy line,
flirtations went on for all night,
caught in the moments forgot about our lives,
under the romanticism of the neon lights,

from hello to goodbye,
lord it was such a ride,
kind of feelings make you feel alive,
from hello to goodbye,

it carried on for a week or so,
trying to deny what we already know,
things were bound to crash,
we both had to go,

even though it couldn't last
a different stone i would never cast,
only regret that it went by so fast,

from hello to goodbye,
lord it was such a ride,
kind of feelings make you feel alive,
from hello to goodbye,

you can catch him at church every once in a Sunday,
the back pew always seems to save him a seat.
where the booze sweating out from saturday night,
gets met with the tear running down his cheek.

Lord know's he loves his whiskey and women,
won't let a good time pass him by.
loves this life he has been given,
is going to till the day he dies

deep within the body of a sinner,
a saints heart does lie
would walk through fire for friends and family,
never afraid to lay down his life

to stubborn to give in to the devil,
his pride won’t let God have his soul,
he hasn't lost his sense of direction,
he's just taking the long way home

no matter how I say it, I'm gonna say it wrong

no matter how I say it,
I’m gonna say it wrong.
so I’m hoping I can reach you,
through the medley of this song,

I sat down here with this bottle,
to try and find the words.
to try and make up for,
all the pain and hurt.

you know I love you baby,
and I tried so hard to be.
everything that you deserve,
and needed me to be.

but I fell into my weakness,
lost in selfish pride.
so now I know your leaving,
and I’m alone on this ride.

and I know that I can’t stop you,
you’re still gonna go away.
but I wish I had the magic words,
that could somehow make you stay.

I could stand here looking back,
to see what I could have done.
or stand here staring at the future,
hoping someday you come home.

but the truth is I’m lost here,
without you by my side.
you’re the one that hit that spot inside me,
that made me feel alive.

I know how bad I hurt you,
and I cannot make it right.
I asked him to take care of you,
when I talked to God last night.

and even though it hurts me,
to watch you go away.
I thank him for all the time we had,
each night when I pray.

as I close this song off,
I just wanted you to know.
I’m sorry for how I hurt you,
and feel it each step as you go.

so goodbye my baby,
I hope that you can find.
everything you’re needing,
to make you happy in this life.

and if this road should ever,
bring you back to me.
I hope by then I‘m strong enough,
to be the man you need.

telling everybody how the worlds gone wrong

people are greedy, people need to share,
we gotta solve these problems, why dont people care
preaching to the choir, about everything
this greedy world and all the suffering

wants so bad to fix it, all we gotta do,
is quit being greedy,taking as much as we do,

thats what she's preaching, as she goes to work each day,
while she's ...

typing on her blackberry, talking on her phone,
telling everybody how the worlds gone wrong


people want to cage me, tell me who to be,
they think they know the answers, and how this world should be
just to greedy to let each other be free.
someone gotta change it, set this world right,
stand up to this opression, fight the good fight,
thats what he's preaching, to all his friends each day
while he's...

smoking on his peace pipe, toking on his bong,
telling everbody how the worlds gone wrong

the crazy old lady sitting on the train,
bitching about how people, treat each other these days,
she says i love everybody, until they treat me this way,
but no one wants to listen, all turn their heads away
she gets a little louder, just trying to exclaim,
but no one wants to listen to what she has to say,
that's why i keep...

strummin on his guitar, singing his song,
telling everybody how the worlds gone wrong

Stop the hate

i’ve got a soul that.. lusts for freedom,
i've got a heart that.. cries for change.
i’ve got a pounding head from last night,
an aching back from.. yesterday.

yes we might all be different,
but in the end lord.. ain’t we.. all the same.
And if we are lucky a chance tomorrow,
to wake back up and.. play this.. crazy game.

we’ve got to.. lose this hatred,
growing deep down.. in our souls,
we’re all just searching for the answers,
that will somehow.. make us whole.

yes this worlds not perfect,
Hell it ain’t never.. gonna be.
But what the hell is perfect.
I’d much rather.. be free.

so before we start our judging,
of what.. one another do,
why don’t we just start loving,
the way God.. told us to.

this world can be so empty,
when you go through.. it alone,
the world can look so ugly,
looking down on it.. from your throne,

but ain’t the real beauty,
held within us.. each and everyone,
all part of the big picture,
that can never.. come undone,

so before we start judging,
of what.. one another do,
why don’t we just start lovin',
the way God.. told us to,

I’ve got a soul that.. lusts for freedom,
I’ve got a heart that.. cries for change.
I’ve got a pounding head from last night,
an aching back from yesterday...
