Follow
You Home
Well you can dig me up
a grave
And try and stick me
in the ground
Well you can tie me to
the bed
And try and beat me half
to death
But you can never keep
me down
Well you can stick me
in a hole
And you can pray all
day for rain
You can shoot me in the
leg
Just to try to make me
beg
And you can leave me
there for days
[CHORUS]
And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi
Princess
You're my California
Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the
face
You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die
alone but
I'll still follow you
home
I'll still follow you
home
You can make a couple
calls
And tell your brothers
I'm in town
Put a bounty on my head
And tell my parents that
I'm dead
And hope to hell I'm
never found
You can steal me the
keys
To your daddy's Cadillac
You can tamper with the
brakes
Call it a mistake
And pray I'm never coming
back
[CHORUS]
You can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me
in the ground
You can tie me to the
bed
And try and beat me half
to death
But you can never keep
me down
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi
Princess
You're my California
Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the
face
You can scream profanity
Leave me here to die
alone but
I'll still follow you
home
I'll still follow you
home
Photograph
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes
me laugh
How did our eyes get
so red
And what the hell is
on Joey's head
And this is where I grew
up
I think the present owner
fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever
went without
The second floor is hard
for sneaking 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 have 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 then
it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't
let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god 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
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that
we ever made
The cops hated us hangin'
out
They say somebody went
and burned it down
We used to listen to
the radio
And sing along with every
song we 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
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 it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I 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,
time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes
me laugh
Everytime I do it makes
me
Savin' Me
Prison gates won't open
up for me
On these hands and knees
I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of
these four walls
These iron bars can't
hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin
[CHORUS]
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from
right
And I'll show you what
I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life
behind me
Say it if it's worth
saving me
Heaven's gates won't
open up for me
With these broken wings
I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't
got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the
eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin'
[CHORUS]
Hurry I'm fallin' |
Fight
For All The Wrong Reasons
Well I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on
to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it
wrong?
I guess it wasn’t really
right
I guess it wasn’t meant
to be
It didn’t matter what
they said
‘Cause we were good in
bed
I guess I stuck around
so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
No, it didn’t matter
what I tried
It’s just a little hard
to leave
When you’re going down
on me
I guess I stuck around
so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends
Well they know your enemies
I’d pretend
Not to hear what they
said to me
‘Cause I got off
Every time you got on
to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it
wrong?
I guess it wasn’t really
right
I guess it wasn’t meant
to be
It didn’t matter what
they said
‘Cause we were good in
bed
I guess I stuck around
so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
No, it didn’t matter
what I tried
It’s just a little hard
to leave
When you’re going down
on me
I guess I stuck around
so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
Animals
I, I'm driving black
on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in
my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the
devil needs a ride
Because the angel on
my right ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your
house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened
up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that
you were missing
She'd be pissed if she
could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'
[CHORUS]
No, we're never gonna
quit
Ain't nothing wrong with
it
Just acting like we're
animals
No, no matter where we
go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of
animals
So come on baby, get
in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble
we're in
You're beside me on the
seat
Got your hand between
my knees
And you control how fast
we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when
you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands
on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that
we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught
her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like
flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost
drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'
[CHORUS]
So come on baby, get
in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're
in
We were parked out by
the tracks
We're sitting in the
back
And we just started getting
busy
When she whispered "what
was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause
no one else knows where we are
And that was when she
started screamin'
"That's my dad outside
the car!"
Oh please, the keys,
they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on
the floor while
we were switching our
positions
I guess they knew that
she was missing
As I tried to tell her
dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin'
[CHORUS]
So come on baby, get
in
We're just a couple of
animals
Get in, just get in
Ain't nothing wrong with
it
Check out the trouble
we're in
Get in, just get in
Far Away
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you
wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's
just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all
along
And I miss you
Been far away for far
too long
I keep dreaming you'll
be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last
dance
'Cause with you, I'd
withstand
All of hell to hold your
hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't
give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know
[CHORUS]
So far away
Been far away for far
too long
So far away
Been far away for far
too long
But you know, you know,
you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all
along
And I forgive you
For being away for far
too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never
let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never
let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never
let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never
let me go |
