Free Fallin'

[Verse 1]
She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

[Verse 2]
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

[Chorus]
And I'm free
Free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin'

[Verse 3]
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts

[Chorus]
And I'm free
I'm free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free
Free fallin'

[Post-Chorus]
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)

[Bridge]
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

[Chorus]
Now I'm free (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)

Oh, free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
(Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)
Free fallin' (Free fallin', I'm-a free fallin', I'm-a)

I Won't Back Down

[Verse 1]
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Chorus]
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground (Ooh)
And I won't back down

[Verse 2]
Well, I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

[Chorus]
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground (Ooh, I won't back down)
And I won't back down

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground (Ooh, I won't back down)
And I won't back down (I won't back down)
No, I won't back down

Love is a Long Road

[Verse 1]
There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, we were desperate then
To have each other to hold

[Chorus]
But love
Is a long, long road
Yeah, love
Is a long, long road

[Verse 2]
There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
Yeah, with my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon

[Pre-Chorus]
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul

[Chorus]
But love
Is a long, long road
Yeah, love
Is a long, long road

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, it was hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Some things are never enough
I guess I only can hope

[Pre-Chorus]
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul

[Chorus]
But love
Is a long, long road
Yeah, love
Is a long, long road

[Outro]
Love
Is a long, long road
Yeah, love
Is a long, long road (Oh)
Oh, it's a long, long road

A face in the crowd

[Verse 1]
Before all of this ever went down
In another place, another town

[Chorus]
You were just a face in the crowd
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, walking around
A face in the crowd

[Verse 2]
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life

[Chorus]
And you were just a face in the crowd
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, thinking out loud
A face in the crowd

[Verse 2]
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life

[Chorus]
And you were just a face in the crowd
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, walking around
A face in the crowd

[Outro]
A face in the crowd
A face in the crowd
A face in the crowd

Runnin' down a dream

[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees went by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

[Verse 2]
I felt so good, like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

[Chorus]
Yeah, runnin' down a dream that never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

[Bridge]
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

[Chorus]
I'm runnin' down a dream that never would've come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream that never would've come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

[Guitar Solo]

Feel a whole lot better

[Verse 1]
The reason why, oh, I can't say
I had to let you go, baby, and right away
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone

[Verse 2]
Baby, for a long time, you had me believe
That your love was all mine and that's the way it would be
But I didn't know that you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone

[Verse 3]
Now I gotta say that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play your games any more
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone

[Outro]
Yeah, I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone

Yer So Bad

[Verse 1]
My sister got lucky, married a yuppie
Took him for all he was worth
Now she's a swinger dating a singer
I can't decide which is worse

[Chorus]
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad

[Verse 2]
My sister's ex-husband can't get no lovin'
Walks around dog-faced and hurt
Now he's got nothin', head in the oven
I can't decide which is worse

[Chorus]
But not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Oh, but not me baby, I've got you to save me
Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad
Oh, yer so bad, best thing I ever had
In a world gone mad, yer so bad

Depending on you

[Verse 1]
I ain't ever gonna let you down
All you got to do is trust me
I would never make you some clown
Baby, why won't you trust me?

[Chorus 1]
You give up so easily
I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you
Don't let me down
I'm depending on you

[Verse 2]
Baby, if you can't change the world
Maybe you should just change yourself
You used to be such a sweet young girl
Why you wanna be someone else?

[Chorus 2]
You give up so easily
I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you
Is it too late now?
I'm depending on you

[Chorus 1]
You give up so easily
I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you
Don't let me down
I'm depending on you

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm depending on you
Is it too late now?
I'm depending on you
I'm depending on you
I'm depending on you
Is it too late now?
I'm depending on you

the apartment song

[Verse 1]
I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knocking on my wall
Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Verse 2]
Well, I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Instrumental bridge]

[Verse 2]
Well, I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight
Oh yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight

alright for now

[Verse 1]
Goodnight baby, sleep tight, my love
May God watch over you from above
Tomorrow I'm working, what would I do?
I'd be lost and lonely if not for you

[Bridge]
So close your eyes
We're alright for now

[Verse 2]
I've spent my life traveling, spent my life free
I could not repay all you've done for me
So sleep tight, baby, unfurrow your brow
And know I love you, we're alright for now

[Outro]
We're alright for now

a mind with a heart of its own

[Verse 1]
I remember her standing in the tall grass and cattails
Away from the windows at the end of the day
Watch the men from the landing with tall hats and coat-tails
She'd never look different, but something would change

[Chorus]
A mind with a heart of its own
A mind with a heart of its own
Yeah, a mind with a heart of its own

[Verse 2]
Well, the man out to end us had a hurricane business
He'd raise them from babies all by his-self
But his teenage accountant had become surrounded
He drank up the party and everyone left

[Chorus]
A mind with a heart of its own
A mind with a heart of its own
Yeah, a mind with a heart of its own

[Verse 3]
Well I been to Brooker, and I been to Micanopy
I been to St. Louis too, I been all around the world
I've been over to your house and you've been over sometimes to my house
I've slept in your treehouse, my middle name is Earl

zombie zoo

[Verse 1]
All down the street, they're standing in line
With white lipstick and one thing on their minds
Hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
Underneath the paint, you're just a little girl

[Chorus]
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

[Verse 2]
Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod?
Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job?
Sometimes you're so impulsive, you shaved off all your hair
You look like Boris Karloff and you don't even care

[Chorus]
You're dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you wanna do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

[Bridge]
She disappears at sunrise
I wonder where she goes until the night
Comes fallin' down again
You show up with your friends, half-alive

[Chorus]
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo

[Verse 3]
Well, you can make a big impression or go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted and over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful, so easy to be led
Somewhere beyond the pavement, you'll find the living dead

[Chorus]
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all she wants to do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo

[Bridge]
She disappears at sunrise
I don't know where she goes until the night
Comes fallin' down again
She shows up with her friends, half-alive

[Chorus]
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Dancin' at the Zombie Zoo
Painted in a corner and all you want to do
Is dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Dance down at the Zombie Zoo
Get down at the Zombie Zoo
