Counting On You


I don't mind lying if it stops the pain
There's no use denying, I've lost the train of thought
I had before I left, Now I'm alone
The place I left behind, had I known

I'm counting on you
I'm all around you
I'm counting on you to take me home

You sit back in your easy chair and tell me 'bout the whole affair
You say I'm gonna be something some day
It sounds so easy, the way you please me
Well you say I'm on the right track
But I think that it's time that I get back home

I'm counting on you
I'm all around you
I'm counting on you to take me home

Something in the wind ain't right
There's something on the faces in the streets at night
There is so much on my mind
Well you say it's here in front of me
But it's something I can't find no more

Something in the wind ain't right
There's something on the faces in the streets at night
There is so much on my mind
Well you say it's here in front of me
But it's something I can't find no more

I'm counting on you
I'm all around you
I'm counting on you to take me home

Rumble On


Leaves are falling all around,
It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it's headed my way.
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know I've got one thing I got to do,
Ramble On,
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day,
Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreadin' roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And tho' our health
We drank a thousand times,
It's time to Ramble On.
Ramble On
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day,
Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
I ain't tellin' no lie.
Mine's a tale that can't be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Ain't nothing I can do, no.
Ramble On, sing my song...Ramble On

Sweet Rain


I remember when every other day was bad
You were my brother, so tall was all you had.
Sireno was dead but we had you instead
Now I remember our precious petting zoo
Our delicate high school and all the things we said we'd do

They all fall like, Sweet Rain
Wet my memory, Sweet Rain
Come on down on me

It wasn't hard to look ahead
You wanted to be me instead
I wanted to be you instead but
I fell and you fell back
What is wrong with me, well what is wrong with you, Jack?

Everybody knew she was coming, Everybody knew she was
Sweet rain, wet my memory, sweet rain, fall down on me

The big screen got in between, what it was and what we've seen
How have you been? What have you been? I think about you
Now and again, I think about you every single day
Well, shit... I'm thinking about you now

Sweet Rain, Wet my memory
Sweet Rain, Fall down on me

The Highway


Past the breakers, sliver by you never try you
On the tuffet that you never were afraid of
Anyone that was not you
In the corner, tried to warn her I, I, I
Caught in traffic in the middle of the night
In the middle of the hiway

The hiway
Got your hands in the dirt
Got your head in the grass
You're tryin' to hold on to some of your

Past the test now
You're runnin' outta breath no one behind you
On the subject of Religion decision devision

Collision, provision, cold hard television
Collective bargaining and talk radio radio

Your mother your brother your sister your lover
Your Father whom art in Heaven
Got to be home by eleven if you wanna be a good girl
You got your hands in the dirt
Got your head in the hiway
