Red-Blooded American Boy

 Montgomery/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

Everybody's Girl

Montgomery/Gottlieb

she goes out dancin' on tuesday nights
got a receptionist job she does not like
she gets into the clubs of her choice
one more wasted night with the boys

she's everybody's girl
mom and daddy's little world
she refuses to be mine
don't know what she tries to find
she loves no one
she's everybody's girl
everybody's girl

i wouldn't leave her in the dawn
if she held me in her angel arms so strong
i'd like to know what makes her laugh
yeah, i'd like to be her other half

but she's everybody's girl
mom and daddy's little world
she refuses to be mine
don't know what she tries to find
she loves no one
she's everybody's girl
everybody's girl

see her walkin' in again
oh yeah she looks so right
but there's a darkness in her kiss
and danger in her eyes
she's everybody's girl

she's everybody's girl
mom and daddy's little world
she refuses to be mine
don't know what she tries to find
she loves no one
she's everybody's girl
everybody's girl
everybody's girl
everybody's girl

Code of Honor

Montgomery, Lynch and Gottlieb

we used to sit on your front porch
watch the cars drive by
not really doin' much of nothin'
just livin' our lives
the kiss you gave me i believed
for something in it felt so real
and i would do it all again
but my innocence was killed

now i know
we've got a different code of honor
different code of the road
different key to the highway
enjoy the road you chose
we've got a different way of thinkin'
and baby you proved it all again
different key to the highway
i never thought it'd end

the wind that blew through your hair
sang a song of warning i wouldn't hear
i thought you stood beside me
i looked around you were not there

now i know
we've got a different code of honor
different rules to the game
different key to the highway
i thought they were the same
we've got a different way of thinkin'
you gotta do what's best for you
different key to the highway
everything is cool

but oh sometimes babe you take me back in time
when i held you oh so tight
all night, all night
some bridges can only be crossed once
oh sometimes things just work out for the best

we've got a different code of honor
different code of the road
different key to the highway
enjoy the road you chose
we've got a different way of thinkin'
baby you did what was best for you
different key to the highway
everything is cool

I Won't Close My Eyes

Montgomery/Gottlieb

i don't wanna think that you could be runnin' around
after all the love that i have shown you
i won't knock on your door
i won't call to see if you're home
but I won't close my eyes

love is a matter of trust
and I just want to believe in us
but last night in your kiss i felt a lie on your lips

but I won't knock on your door
i won't call to see if you're home
but I won't close my eyes

there are two kinds of love
those who are true and those untrue
i see black and white
are you somewhere lost between the two?

i won't knock on your door
i won't call to see if you're home
but I won't close my eyes
no I won't close my eyes

Which Way Is It Gonna Be

Montgomery/Gottlieb

it's time to face your future
step up and give it a kiss
you have suffered long enough
from your last change of address
break down the walls so i can
see you as you really are
as you really are

which way is it gonna be
will you live in the past
or will you move forward with me
which way is it gonna be
will you give up what you had
so you can have something with me

do you always plead guilty
for someone else's crimes
then serve out the sentence
when it's someone else's time
what's the point in knowing love like this
it strips away your innocence
oh but you can't pass the blame it's up to you

which way is it gonna be
will you live in the past
or will you move forward with me
which way is it gonna be
will you give up what you had
so you can have something with me
break down the walls so I can
see you as you really are
as you really are

which way is it gonna be
will you live in the past
or will you move forward with me
which way is it gonna be
will you give up what you had
so you can have something with me

I Want You

Montgomery/Gottlieb

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

Fear Nothing

Montgomery/Gottlieb

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

Josie's Getting Stronger

Montgomery

josie sees her life as so complex
she's got a boyfriend his name is rex
rex is a pretty boy, he runs all over town
breaks the young girls' hearts when she's not around

she doesn't like the life she's leading
but she's a prisoner of the fear of leaving
but josie's getting stronger
josie's getting stronger
she won't take it much longer
oh josie's getting stronger

all josie's friends are so disgusted
by the fact that she claims she still loves him
oh josie wants him to change
but in her heart she knows he'll always be the

same oh he's enjoyed his freedom
he doesn't realize how much he'll need her

and josie's getting stronger
josie's getting stronger
she won't take it any longer
josie's getting stronger

josie kneels beside her bed stand
and prays for withered roses that slipped through her hands
josie, she don't want your sympathy
she's so much stronger than she used to be

josie's getting stronger

Softer Years

Montgomery/Gottlieb

barely old enough to know what life's about
but you think you know just enough to know you want out
no shoulder to rest your weary head
you curse the beauty that brought you to their beds

wish i could tread where fools hadn't been
go back to before the cold set in
before you were scarred by the tracks of your tears
i wish I could've known you in your softer years

your hair smells like a cigarette
have you been doin' things you will come to regret
i tried to resist you, but now i'm part of your shame
but i won't be a player in our worn out game

wish i could tread where fools hadn't been
go back to before the cold set
before you were scarred by the track of your tears
i wish i could've known you in your softer years

wish i could take away the rage
oh, but you still hold it in your black embrace

wish i could tread where fools hadn't been
go back to before the cold set in
before you were scarred by the track of your tears
i wish i could've known you in your softer years

Don't Make Me Hate The Things I Love

Montgomery/Gottlieb

you loved me with conviction 
the same conviction when you look in his eyes
it's such a contradiction
do you kiss his lips the way you kissed mine

i hear he takes you where we used to go
i thought we had something sacred
but baby what did i know

don't make me hate the things i love
like the dress you wear tonight
while he's holding you tight
don't make me hate the things i love
like the back road off the road to your house
where he's driving you wild

i had a premonition
your blond hair fell into your eyes
yeah, it blurred your vision
of the perfect love you'd stored in your mind

i hear he takes you when and where he wants to
i thought we had something sacred
but baby what did i know

don't make me hate the things i love
like the small of your back
where he launches his attack
don't make me hate the things i love
like the look on your face
when i was content to wait
