The Great Divide

You used to come to me in the night
With kisses softer than the prayer of a child
We'd dream about the day that we'd take flight
Our little lives were so safe, but in our dreams we ran wild
And every step was a leap of faith
And I swore with every breath I'd take
Gonna quit this job any day
Jump in my big old Chevrolet
Fill it up and we will ride to the Great Divide
And when you left that town at last
Guess we both always knew that I'd stay behind
You played it loose and you played it fast
Hope you finally found what you needed to find
Promises broken and money long spent
Did I ever tell you how much your love meant?
Gonna quit this job any day
Jump in my big old Chevrolet
Fill it up and we will ride to the Great Divide
Now as I walk these city streets
Where the smile of stranger's as rare as a rose in the snow
Try to face the truth that lies down deep
And I dream of those summer days so long ago
Sometimes it's just too much to take
When I think about the love we used to make
Gonna quit this job any day
Jump in my big old Chevrolet
Fill it up and we will ride to the Great Divide

I Believe In Everything

I believe what Jesus said,
And go where angels fear to tread,
I read my Bible back to front,
Now I know that dogma just won't hunt,
And I have worked a Ouija board,
And I have thrown the I Ching,
I believe in tea leaves, UFOs and ESP,
I believe in everything, I believe in everything,
I have cut the tarot cards, I have thrown the I Ching,
I believe in everything
I have heard Confuscious say, I'm OK and You're OK,
And have kept my fingers crossed,
And found the luck I thought I'd lost,
And I buy what the papers sell,
Elvis works at Burger King,
I believe that Paul is dead,
At least that's what the Walrus said,
I believe in everything, I believe in everything,
I buy what the papers sell, Elvis works at Burger King,
I believe in everything
It's a crazy world full of hope & laughter & love,
No one knows what waits below, or up above,
Might be nothing but stars and planets and space,
But I believe I'll keep believing, just in case.
Let me tell a little bit about what I believe,
I believe that women are from a completely different,
and better smelling, planet,
I believe in the first amendment,
But mostly I believe in the 21st amendment
I believe that people who live in glass houses
should not throw stones,
Dame Fortune she's a real tough cookie,
God is just a cosmic bookie,
No belief's completely pure,
So I'll have the belief du jour,
And I believe in true love,
And dancing with the one you bring,
I believe in Karma too,
The vibe you send comes back to you,
I believe in everything, I believe in everything,
I have cut the tarot cards, I have thrown the I Ching,
I buy what the papers sell, Elvis works at Burger King,
I believe in true love & dancing with the one you bring,
I believe in Karma too and I believe in everything

You Only See The Rain

You talk to your mama, you talk to your shrink,
You’ll talk to any stranger who’s got the price of a drink,
Advice is awful easy to come by, that’s what makes it come so cheap,
Talk to me baby, I think I’m getting in too deep
Give me a call girl, drop me a line
Reach a decision, you got to make up your mind,
You got your doubts about love, I haven't got one,
This is real life now girl it ain’t no practice run
I ain’t no mystic, I got no crystal ball,
But I think taking the long road to love is better than no road at all,
They say a man’s got to have something to believe in,
I believe I’ll have another beer,
I know where we’ve been baby, where do we go from here?
You talk to your mama, you talk to your shrink,
You’ll talk to any stranger who’s got the price of a drink,
They say a man’s got to have something to believe in,
I believe I’ll have another beer,
I know where we’ve been baby, where do we go from here?

She Must Be The One
05:36

The way she moves, I think she must be a dancer,
The way she smiles I think she must have the answer,
She's hotter than Georgia asphalt in the July sun,
I think she must be the one
When she holds me tight,
I realize what I've been missing,
When she whispers in my ear,
I know the angels stop to listen,
You can stick a fork in me boys, 'cause I am done,
I think she must be the one
She's always crossing against the light,
Laughing in the face of life,
And when she looks at me with those pretty green eyes,
And tells me she loves me, you know it's still a surprise
I want to tell everybody,
All about the good thing that I found,
She's got a smile so bright,
She can melt the snow right off the ground,
She's as cool as the midnight moon,
She shines like the morning sun,
I think she must be the one
I think she must be the one
I think she must be the one
I think she must be the one
