My Tennessee Girl
I'm comin' home to you
I'm speeding through Texas
trying to outsmart the blues

And I just can't wait
to be touched by you
look into your eyes
drink in your perfume

Been flat-busted out of California
had all 'hey dude' that I can stand
tired getting flipped off on the freeway
staring down the big barrel of a little man

My Tennessee Girl
I'm comin' home to you
I'm speeding through Texas
trying to outsmart the blues

Been flat-busted out of California
had all 'hey dude' that I could stand
tired getting flipped off on the freeway
staring down the big barrel of a little man
My Tennessee Girl
I'm comin' home to you
I'm speeding through Texas
trying to outrun the blues

And I just can't wait
to be touched by you
look into your eyes
under a Southern Moon

K.Montgomery/R.ReynoldsWell, I just pulled out of Cherokee City,
where the girls are too rich and they're way too pretty
to give a second look to a long-haired rocker like me

they're all lookin' for a boy with the right family tree,
but my grandfather was in stone masonry,
so I guess that just put me out of their game
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 K.Montgomery/L.Gottlieb

see you dancin' in the corner with
all your best girlfriends
laughin' and singin' these are the days of
your innocence
all us boys want in your circle but we
don't dare break in
i'm leanin' against the wall thinkin'

while your laugh is still easy
and your heart is still light
why don't you dance with this red-blooded
american boy tonight
'cause your life is just a breath
and tonight is just the dance

so why don't you give this red-blooded
american boy the chance

a woman stands beside me in my mind
her hair has a touch of gray
sometimes I just shut my mouth
i know she knows what i'm gonna say
a look comes from her eyes
only born of loving years

sometimes i open up my mouth and
i fight back her tears
i say

while your laugh is still easy
and your heart is still light
why don't you dance with this red-blooded
american boy tonight
'cause your life is just a breath
and tonight is just the dance
so why don't you give this red-blooded
american boy the chance

oh baby i'm out of control
don't know which way to run
don't know which way to go
oh these days it's getting harder to live
we all need someone to hold onto
just hold onto me and i'll hold onto you
dance with me - i wanna dance with you
oh oh oh

while your laugh is still easy
and your heart is still light
why don't you dance with this red-blooded
american boy tonight
'cause your life is just a breath
and tonight is just the dance
so why don't you give this red-blooded
american boy the chance
yes why don't you give this red-blooded
american boy the chance

This old road goes on forever
just like the sound of goodbye
I'm watching the rain dance in the headlights
wishing this old Mustang could fly

I still hear the screen door slammin'
sounds like thunder in my mind
I still see your ring spinning on the floor
just like these wheels roll through the night

The rear view mirror casts reflections
of a life I left behind
Though these wheels keep spinning round and round and round
I can't drive you from my mind

I saw the lights of Albuquerque
they're so pretty from the west
Yet on the other side of that mountain
It's a forest at best
I know I could have done things different
I'm not saying I didn't try
But I was blind to your struggles
I see things clearer in hindsight

The rear view mirror casts reflections
of a life I left behind
Though these wheels keep spinning round and round and round
I can't drive you from my mind

Though these wheels keep spinning round and round and round
I can't drive you from my mind

Let's go down to Melrose
Gonna buy you some vintage clothes
Let's go out in Hollywood
I'll be bad, you be goodFriend of mine told me about a party in
the hills
said there's gonna be lots of cool people
there
I wanna, I wanna, Make fun of all the
wannabesisn't it true
these are the best times we've had
Isn't it true
this is us, this is real, this is how I want
to feelShe came all the way from Chicago
what she'd find she did not know
restless boy from Tennessee
chasin' down all his crazy little dreams
she said, "life can be so t-t-tough in this
town, I need you so it won't pull me 
down, so pull me down 'cause I wanna

I'm on a plane flying in from Austin
it descends through the smog
to the city where i found her and lost her
seems like a thousand years but it ain't been that long

And the sun sets on my soul tonight
I look for her but she's nowhere in sight
She don't pick me up no more
She don't pick me up no more

And I fight my anger daily
but I guess we get what we deserve
and I've been told I should forget it
but I still long for her

And the sun sets on my soul tonight
I look for her but she's nowhere in sight

She don't pick me up no more
She don't pick me up no more

And the sun sets on my soul tonight

And i'm looking out from my window
and I know she's out there somewhere
and I was so sure i was walking behind her
but I was deceived by some girl's hair

And I found a good woman who wanted to take away my pain
she had a beautiful voice and beautiful skin
but when I laid down beside her I could not let her in

And the sun sets on my soul tonight
I should go out, but i sleep all night
but

She don't wake me up no more
She don't wake me up no more

And the sun sets on my soul tonight and I wish that I could sleep forever

'cause She don't wake me up no more

She don't wake me up no more
She don't wake me up no more
She don't wake me up no more

I was walkin' back to Lebanon
like a beggar at the gate
I was workin' on my trilogy when I found out it's too late
these wounds I have don't seem to heal
so hold me now, 'cause I want to feel someone just like you

wreckless, wreckless
didn't think that I could fall this far
I was wreckless, wreckless
didn't see it come this time
two wheels over the yellow line

there's a boxer on the sidewalk
singin' like a preacher and a poet
singin' like a lover and a prophet
everytime I see your face
this bed of nails can't hurt me no more
so pull the shades and put a lock on that door
and put your arms like this

wreckless, wreckless
didn't think that I could fall this hard
I was wreckless, wreckless
didn't see it come this time
two wheels over the yellow line

I believe in somethin' better, baby
I believe love has the power, the power, the power
wreckless
I was wreckless

I was waiting for a connection
I was runnin' out of time
so I left my home in St. John and I followed the road signs

this is where I sleep at night
I hope it's no surprise
there's less to emptiness than meets the eye

saw my wife and child last outside the wrecking ball
I lined up like a ghost with my guitar

wish I knew then what I know right now
when I knocked on your door
wish I knew now what I knew back then
but that was way back when

now there's a Santos on the gas pump
and a girl in my motel
she says, "the Lord covers for those who break the rules"
I walked down the highway just to feel the desert air
and a billboard said, "the way to peace is clear"

wish I knew then what I know right now
when I knocked on your door
wish I knew now what I knew back then
but that was way back when

someday i'll find my way and maybe
love will be there
love will be there
love

wish I knew then what I know right now
when I knocked on your door
wish I knew now what I knew back then
but that was way back, that was way back, that was way back when

Words and Music by K.Montgomery, L.Gottlieb yeah, it feels so good just to hold your hand
you're a mystery i wanna understand
yeah, it feels so good when you kiss my lips
and when we dance so close i love the way you move your hips
and my friends say,

yeah, she's cool
yeah, she can hang with us
yeah, she's your kind of girl
yeah, thank you very much

yeah it feels so right on a night like this
you're sending me messages i can't resist
so baby come over here, maybe have a few beers

they say,

(chorus)

yeah, it feels so good when you hold my hand
you're a mystery i wanna understand

Dance with me close my bella bina
Forget what we know my bella bina
nothing can touch us if the timing is right
So hold me my bella bina
Hold me close tonight

Summer to Winter Spring to Fall
Doesn't really matter at all
We spoke with our eyes didn't say one thing
I melted into you as you grew your wings

Bella luna on your hair
Close your eyes and i'll be there
no one can touch us floating in your mind
so hold me, my bella bina, hold me close tonight
hold me, my bella bina, hold me close tonight
hold me, my bella bina, hold me close tonight

Montgomery/Finlin

well, we busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three minute record baby, than we ever learned in school

Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel your heart begin to pound
you say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
and follow your dreams down

well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember no retreat no surrender
blood brothers on a winter's night with a vow to defend, no retreat no surrender

well, when our young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold,
we swore blood brothers against the wind and now i'm ready to grow young again
and hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards believin' we could cut someplace of our own with these drums and these guitars

We made a promise we swore we'd always remember no retreat, no surrender
blood brothers on a winters night with a vow to defend
no retreat baby, no surrender

well out on the street tonight the lights are growin' dim
the walls of my room are closin' in
but it's good to see your smilin' face and to hear your voice again
we could sleep out in the twilight by the river bed
with the wide open country in our hearts and these romantic dreams in our heads

well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
no retreat baby, no surrender
blood brothers on a summer's night with a vow to defend
no retreat baby, no surrender
no retreat baby, no surrender

If he takes you out tonight
He better keep his hands in sight

Think about it
Think about it
He better think about it
'Cause i want you

If he takes you out tonight
Holds your hand and shows you the city lights

Think about it
Think about it
He better think about it
'Cause I want you

Sorrow, my fair-weather friend, comes 'round again
Every time I come in from the dark she's there
(to take my love away)
All I know is you're the only goodness I have found
Save this poor swimmer before he drowns

If he takes you out tonight
You better let him know in your own way that you're mine

Think about it
Think about it
He better think about it
'Cause I want you

wanna ride through town with the windows wide open
forget about your hair i'm just gonna mess it up anyway
wanna pull you up close to my side of the truck
wanna lay you on down under a blanket of stars above

yeah, yes you are something
fear nothing
yeah, yes you are something
fear nothing
let's stop here awhile
stolen in time
think of only tonight
and fear nothing

the lights distort from the distance and heat
we are let down by the people we believe
yes it is true sometimes life can be tough
but i still believe you can pull me through with your love

yeah, yes you are something
fear nothing
yeah, yes you are something
fear nothing

wanna drive you around, wanna stay out all night
and when the dawn wind blows it'll dry your tears by the morning light
the lights of the street grow dim as we speak
everything else just fades away into the night as we speak

yeah, yes you are something
fear nothing
yeah, yes you are something
fear nothing
