[Verse 1]
Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all aloneAnd the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still<

[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

[Verse 2]
Well, the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn<

[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)
Coming down (Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)

[Verse 3]
Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down

[Outro]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
(Learning to fly, learning to fly)

[Verse 1]
Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all aloneAnd the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still<

[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

[Verse 2]
Well, the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)
Coming down (Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)

[Verse 1]
When the time gets right, I'm gonna pick you up
And take you far way from trouble, my love
Under a big ol' sky out in a field of green
There's gotta be something left for us to believe

[Chorus]
Oh, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway

[Verse 2]
No, you can't hide out in a six-gun town
We wanna hold our heads up, but we gotta stay down
I don't wanna end up in a room all alone
Don't wanna end up someone that I don't even know

[Chorus]
Lover, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway

Yeah, I await the day
Good fortune comes our way
And we ride down the Kings Highway

[Verse 3]
Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down

[Outro]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
(Learning to fly, learning to fly)

[Verse 1]
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo, too
The future was wide open
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a night club he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit

[Chorus]
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

[Verse 2]
The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit
His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open (Oh)

[Chorus]
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue
Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
A rebel without a clue (Ayy)

[Verse 1]
Two gunslingers walked out in the street
And one said, "I don't want to fight no more"
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, "Yeah, what are we fighting for?"

[Chorus]
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now
Right now, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, the crowd that assembled for the gunfight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed and a stranger told his missus
"That's the last one of these gunfights
You're ever gonna drag me to"

[Chorus]
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now
Right now, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Well, the two gunslingers went ridin' out of town
And were never heard from no more
And there ain't been a gunfight for a long time
Maybe never, but nobody knows for sure

[Chorus]
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now
Right now, oh yeah
Now, right now, oh yeah
Now, right now, oh yeah

[Verse 1]
In the dark of the sun
Will you save me a place?
Give me hope, give me comfort
Get me to a better place

[Verse 2]
I saw you sail across a river
Underneath Orion's sword
In your eyes, there was a freedom
I had never known before

[Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
In the dark of the sun

[Verse 3]
Past my days of great confusion
Yeah, past my days of wondering why
Will I sail into the heavens
Constellations in my eyes?

[Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one

Hey, yeah, yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one
In the dark of the sun
Hey, yeah, yeah
In the dark of the sun
Oh, in the dark of the sun

[Verse 1]
Your daddy was a Sergeant Major
You didn't wanna, but he made you
Wipe his brass from time to time
It left a picture in your mind
You know? You know?

[Chorus]
You want it all, you want it all
All or nothin', you want it all

[Verse 2]
Here am I, a fallen arrow
My load is wide, my street is narrow
My skin is thicker, my heart is tougher
I don't mind workin', but I'm scared to suffer
You know? You know?

[Chorus]
You want it all, you want it all
All or nothin', you want it all or nothin'

[Verse 3]
Sweet chariots of L.A. swing low
At twilight time, the smog makes a rainbow
So keep one eye on the weather
You had it good, you wanted better
You know? You know?

[Chorus]
You want it all, you want it all
All or nothin', you want it all
All or nothin', nothin', all
All or nothin', nothin', woah
You want it all, you want it all
All or nothin', nothin', nothin' no
All or nothin'

[Verse 1]
Trouble blew in on a cold, dark wind
It came without no warning
And that big ol' house went up for sale
They were on the road by morning
Oh, the days went slow into the changing season
Oh, out in the cold for all the wrong reasons

[Verse 2]
Well, she grew up hard and she grew up fast
In the age of television
And she made a vow to have it all
It became her new religion
Oh, down in her soul, it was an act of treason
Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons

[Verse 3]
Where the sky begins, the horizon ends
Despite the best intentions
And a big old man goes up for sale
He becomes his own invention
Oh, the days go slow into the changing season
Oh, bought and sold for all the wrong reasons

[Outro]
Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons

[Verse 1]
Her imagination ran wild
Could this really happen to me?
She could barely hold back the tears

[Chorus]
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true

[Verse 2]
Everything that she'd waited for
Everything that she'd dared to dream
Suddenly was outside her door

[Chorus]
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true

[Bridge]
There was no talk of giving in
And just as hope was wearing thin
Her eyes were like a child again
Too good to be true

[Verse 3]
Morning on the outskirts of town
Sitting in the traffic alone
You don't know what it means to be free

[Chorus]
And it was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
Too good to be true

[Verse 1]
The day fell down, the air got cold
I walked out in the street
Daydreamed for a mile or two
Staring at my feet
Like a workin' boy out of luck
Fallin' through the cracks
Night rolled in, I turned back home
A hard wind at my back

[Chorus]
I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
Body and soul (Out in the cold)
There's nowhere to go (Out in the cold)
I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)

[Verse 2]
Well, I woke up, my brain was stunned
I could not come around
I reached out to grab my keys
And tumbled to the ground
I thought of you, starry-eyed
I wonder where we stand
Did I just fall from your arms
Down into your hands?

[Chorus]
I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
Body and soul (Out in the cold)
There's nowhere to go (Out in the cold)
I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)

[Bridge]
I'm out
Standin' in a doorway

I'm out
Walkin' around
Hands in my pockets

[Chorus]
I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
Body and soul (Out in the cold)
With nowhere to go (Out in the cold)
I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)

[Verse 1]
You and I will meet again
When we're least expecting it
Somewhere in some far-off place
I will recognize your face
I won't say goodbye, my friend
For you and I will meet again

[Verse 2]
I heard you singing to no one
I saw you dancing all alone
One day you belong to me
Next day I just wouldn't know
One day all the rules will bend
And you and I will meet again

[Bridge]
I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling so strong
Maybe someday our roads will cross

[Verse 3]
A red-winged hawk is circling
The blacktop stretches out for days
How could I get so close to you
And still feel so far away?
I hear a voice come on the wind
Saying you and I will meet again

[Outro]
I don't know how, I don't know when
But you and I will meet again

[Verse 1]
When I was a young boy, I was working for the state
I wasn't making much money, I was staying out late
I'd go down at nighttime, played music in the bars
Take my breaks out underneath the stars

[Chorus 1]
I was making some noise
I was a working boy
Up at the top of my voice
Saying, "Look at me mama
I'm making some noise"

[Verse 2]
I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree
To see what would fall down on me
I thought, "Maybe I can make it, if I never give in
I been down before, I ain't going down again"

[Chorus 2]
I'm making some noise
I've been a worried boy
Up at the top of my voice
Saying, "Look at me mama, I'm making some noise"

[Verse 3]
From across the canyon, a guitar plays
Through an amplifier on a long delay
It was an old melody, I recognized the song
I had an amplifier too, so I played along

[Chorus 3]
I'm making some noise
I'm still a working boy
At the top of my voice
Saying, "Look at me mama
I'm making some noise"

[Chorus 4]
I'm making some noise
I been a long-gone boy
At the top of my voice
Saying, "Look at me mama
I'm making some noise"

[Outro]
I'm making some noise
I'm making some noise

[Verse 1]
Somewhere out my doorway
Somewhere down my block
I can hear her heartbeat in rhythm with my clock

[Verse 2]
I want her more than diamonds
I want her more than gold
I want her more than anything anyone could hold

[Chorus]
We were built to last on until forever
The world is changing fast, but our love was built to last

[Verse 3]
She has followed me down
Along some empty streets
She has followed me where the rain would fall in sheets

[Verse 4]
And I know I've been changing
Changing like the wind
I was feeling burned out, I got tired of it

[Chorus]
We were built to last on until forever
The world is changing fast, but our love was built to last

[Verse 5]
So come to me, my darling
Hold me while I sleep
I know you feel lost, but you're not in too deep

[Chorus]
We were built to last on until forever
The world is changing fast, but our love was built to last

We were built to last on until forever
The world is changing fast, but our love was built to last
