HAVE A NICE DAY

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life? 
Who, are you to tell me if it’s black or white? 
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand. 
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man. 
My daddy lived the lie, it’s just the price that he paid. 
Sacrificed his life, just slavin’ away. 

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang onto, 
It gets me through the night. 
I aint gonna do what I don’t want to, 
Im gonna live my life. 
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, 
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly. 
When the world gets in my face, 
I say, Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day 

Take a look around you, look its what he sees. 
We’re living in a broken home of hopes and dreams, 
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand. 
Everybody, pray enough to take a stand, 
I knocked on every door, on every dead end street, 
Looking for forgiveness, 
what’s left to believe? 

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang onto, 
It gets me through the night. 
I aint gonna do what I don’t want to, 
Im gonna live my life. 
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, 
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly. 
When the world gets in my face, 
I say, Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day. 

Guitar Solo 

Ohhh, if there’s one thing I hang onto, 
It gets me through the night. 
I aint gonna do what I don’t want to, 
Im gonna live my life. 
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, 
Standing on the ledge, show the wind how to fly. 
When the world gets in my face, 
I say, Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day. 

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down, 
Ive gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground. 
Well I say, Have A Nice Day. 
Have A Nice Day 
Have A Nice Day

I Wanna Be Loved

I had a roof over head 
Had shoes on my feet 
Yeah sure I was fed 
But no one was there when I was in need... yeah 

So who am I now? 
Who do you want me to be? 
I can forgive you but I won't relive you 
I ain't the same scared kid I use to be 

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive 
Don't want the world to pass me by 
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie 
I want to be loved 
I want to be loved 

I found a picture, our so called family tree... yeah 
I broke all the branches looking for answers 
Don't you know that it ain't how it supposed to be 

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive 
Don't want the world to pass me by 
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie 
I wanna give, I'm ready to try, willing to lay it on the line 
I want to be loved 
I want to be! 

I ain't gonna cry, I don't want to scream 
But I got so much left unsaid inside of me 
Taken from 
I'm gonna live, I'm gonna survive 
Don't want the world to pass me by 
I'm gonna dream, I ain't gonna die thinking my life was just a lie 
I wanna give, I'm ready to try, willing to lay it on the line 
I want to be loved 
I want to be loved 
I just want to be loved 
I want to be loved 
I want to be loved 
 
Welcome To Wherever You Are






























 






























Maybe we're all different but we're still the same 
We all got the blood of Eden running through our veins 
I know sometimes it's hard for you to see 
You're caught between just who you are and who you want to be 

If you feel alone and lost and need a friend 
Remember every new beginning is some beginning's end 

Welcome to wherever you are 
This is your life; you made it this far 
Welcome, you got to believe 
That right here, right now 
You're exactly where you're supposed to be 
Welcome to wherever you are 

When everybody's in and you're left out 
And you feel you're drowning in the shadow of a doubt 
Everyone's a miracle in their own way 
Just listen to yourself, not what other people say 

When it's seems you're lost, alone and feeling down 
Remember everybody's different; just take a look around 

Welcome to wherever you are 
This is your life; you made it this far 
Welcome, you got to believe 
Right here, right now 
You're exactly where you're supposed to be 

Be who you want to be 
Be who you are 
Everyone's a hero 
Everyone's a star 

When you want to give up and your heart's about to break 
Remember that you're perfect; God makes no mistakes 

Welcome to wherever you are 
This is your life; you made it this far 
Welcome, you got to believe 
Right here, right now 
You're exactly where you're supposed to be 
And I say welcome… 
I say welcome… 
Welcome…






























Who Says You Can't Go Home?






























 






























I spent twenty years trying to get out of this place 
I was looking for something I couldn't replace 
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known 
Like a blind dog without a bone 
I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone 
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold 

I been there, done that 
But I ain't looking back on the seeds I've sown 
Saving dimes spending too much time on the telephone 
Who says you can't go home 

Who says you can't go home 
There's only one place they call me one of their own 
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone 
Who says you can't go home 
Who says you can't go back 
I been all around the world and as a matter of fact 
There's only one place left I want to go 
Who says you can't go home 
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright 

I went as far as I could, I tried to find a new face 
There isn't one of these lines that I would erase 
I lived a million miles of memories on that road 
With every step I take I know that I'm not alone 
You take the home from the boy 
But not the boy from his home 
These are my streets, the only life I've ever known 
Who says you can't go home 

Who says you can't go home 
There's only one place they call me one of their own 
Just a hometown boy born a rolling stone 
Who says you can't go home 
Who says you can't go back 
I been all around the world and as a matter of fact 
There's only one place left I want to go 
Who says you can't go home 
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright 
Who says you can't go home 
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright 
Who says you can't go home 

I been there, done that and I ain't looking back 
It's been a long, long road 
Feels like I never left, that's how the story goes 

It doesn't matter where you are, It doesn't matter where you go 
If it's a million miles away or just ten miles up the road 
Take it in , Take it with you when you go 
Who says you can't go home?






























 






























Last Man Standing
 
Come see a living, breathing spectacle 
Only seen right here 
It’s your last chance in this lifetime 
The line forms to the rear 
You won’t believe your eyes 
Your eyes will not believe your ears 
Get your money out, get ready 
Step right up, yeah you, come here 

You ain’t seen nothing like him 
The last one of the breed 
You better hold on to your honey 
Honeys, don’t forget to breathe 
Enter at your own risk, mister 
It might change the way you think 
There’s no dancers, there’s no diamonds 
No this boy he don’t lip synch 

Here’s the last man standing. 
Step right up, he’s the real thing. 
The last chance of a lifetime. 
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing. 

See those real live calloused fingers 
Wrapped around those guitar strings 
It breaks the heart to hear him sing 
The songs were more than music 
They were pictures from the soul 
So keep your pseudo-punk, hip-hop, pop-rock junk 
And your digital downloads 

Here’s the last man standing. 
Step right up, he’s the real thing. 
The last chance of a lifetime. 
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing. 

Take your seats now, folks. It’s show time. 
Hey, Patrick hit the lights 
There’s something in the air 
There’s magic in the night 
Now here’s the band, they really play 
I’ll count the first one in 
I don’t know where it’s going 
We all know where it’s been 

Here’s the last man standing. 
Step right up, he’s the real thing. 
The last chance of a lifetime. 
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing. 

Here’s the last man standing. 
Step right up, he’s the real thing. 
The last chance of a lifetime. 
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing. 

The last chance of a lifetime 
Come and see, hear, feel, the real thing






























 






























Bells Of Freedom
 
I have walked all alone 
On these streets I call home 
Streets of hope, streets of fear 
Through the sidewalk cracks time disappears 

I was lost, on my knees 
On the eve of defeat 
As I choked back the tears 
There’s a silent scream no one could hear 

So far away from everything you know is true 
Something inside that makes you do what you got to do 

Ring them bells, ring them loud 
Let them ring here and now 
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom 
When your world’s crashing down 
Like you’re lost every round 
Stand your ground 
And ring the Bells of Freedom 

Up the steps of the church 
Through the fields and the dirt 
In the dark I have seen 
That the sun still shines for the one who believes 

So far away 
So full of doubt and needing proof 
Just close your eyes and hear the sounds inside of you 

Ring them bells, ring them loud 
Let them ring here and now 
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom 
When your world’s comes crashing down 
Like you’ve lost every round 
Stand your ground 
And ring the bells of freedom 

Ring them bells, ring them loud 
Let them ring here and now 
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom 
Yeah, when your world comes crashing down 
Like you’ve lost every round 
Stand your ground and ring the Bells of Freedom 
Ring them bells, ring them loud 
Let them ring here and now 
Just reach out and ring the Bells of Freedom…






























Wildflower






























 






























She wakes up when I sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies 
If you don't follow what I mean, I sure don't mean to be confusing 
They say when she laughs she wants to cry 
She'll draw a crowd then try to hide 
Don't know if it's her or just my mind I'm losing 

Nobody knows a wildflower still grows 
By the side of the road 
And she don't need to need like the roses 
Wildflower 

That girl's sure put a spell on me 
Yeah, her voodoos hidden right behind her pocket 
If she's fire, I'm gasoline 
Yeah, we fight a lot but neither wants to stop it 
Well, she'll tell you she's an only child until you meet her brothers 
Swear she's never met the man she couldn't make into a lover 

Nobody knows a wildflower still grows 
By the side of the road 
And she don't need to need like the roses 
She's at home with the weeds 
And just as free as the night breeze 
She's got the cool of a shade tree 
She's growin' on me and I can't live with out her 

Yesterday's a memory 
Tomorrow's accessory 
That's her favourite quote about regret 
Well, she'll tell you 'bout her pedigree 
With a sailor's mouth he'd have left at sea and it ain't over yet 

Nobody knows... 
Nobody knows... a wildflower still grows 
By the side of the road 
And she don't need to need like the roses, the roses 
She feels at home with the weeds 
And just as free as the night breeze 
She's got the cool of a shade tree 
She's growin' on me and I can't live without her 
But nobody knows... 
Nobody knows... 
Nobody knows... 
Nobody knows... 
That's right... 

She wakes up when I sleep to talk to ghosts like in the movies.






























 






























Last Cigarette






























 






























Regrets are all you left, on your lipstick stains 
Take a picture of our past there in that ashtray 
We had our fun, I used to light your flame 
Like the dancing smoke that rose we tried to find our way 

No one told me, she told me 

Your love's like one last cigarette 
Last cigarette, I will savor it 
The last cigarette 
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends 
But when it's gone, it's gone 
The last cigarette 

Just to breathe reminds me of what used to be 
The smoke's the ghost that keeps you close when I can't sleep 
Don't ask the past to last, it's about to change 
The memories don't answer when I call your name 

No one told me, she told me 

[Chorus] 
Your love's like one last cigarette 
Last cigarette, I will savor it 
The last cigarette 
Take it in and hold your breath, hope it never ends 
But when it's gone, it's gone 
One last cigarette, last cigarette 
One I can't forget, the last cigarette 
Right there at my fingertips, got your taste still on my lips 
Right or wrong 
You're still gone, gone, gone 

No one told me, she told me 
You always lose the girl in a Brian Wilson world 

[Chorus] 

No one told me, she told me 
The Last Cigarette






























I am






























 






























How you spend your minutes are what matters 
All tomorrows come from yesterdays 
When you're feeling broken, bruised and sometimes shattered 
Blow out the candles on the cake 
Like everything's a big mistake 

It seems you always wait for life to happen 
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break 
If all we've got is us then life's worth living 
And if you're in, you know I'm in 
I'm ready and I'm willing 

I am 
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you 
No one's there to understand 
I am 
I'll be there to be that someone 
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand 
I am 

We're just who we are, there's no pretending 
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin 
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending 
And if you're in you know I'm in 
I'm ready and I'm willing 

Chorus: I am 
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you 
No one's there to understand 
I am 
I'll be there to be that someone 
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand 
I am 

I ain't got no halo hanging over my head 
I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you 
I am, I am 

Chorus: I am 
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you 
No one's there to understand 
I am 
I'll be there to be that someone 
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand 
I am 
When you think that no one needs you, sees you or believes you 
No one's there to understand 
I am 
I'll be there to be that someone 
When you think that no one is there to hold your hand 
I am 
I am 
I am






























Complicated
 
Take a look around, this is what I see 
Is there anybody else that feels like me, yeah 
You sweat, you sweat, you bleed, you bleed 
What you get ain't what you see 
Up is down and black is white to me 

I'm complicated, I get frustrated 
Right or wrong, love or hate it 
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it 
I heard that song but I won't play it 
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way 
Momma, keep on praying 'cause I ain't changin' 
I'm complicated, yeah 
I'm complicated, yeah 

I'm smart enough to know what I don't know 
I'm fool enough to stay when I should go 
You work, you work, you cry, you cry 
You watch your whole life pass you by 
Sometimes you've got to close your eyes to see 

I'm complicated, I get frustrated 
Right or wrong, love or hate it 
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it 
I heard that song but I won't play it 
It's alright, it's OK, you wouldn't want me any other way 
Momma, keep on praying 'cause I ain't changin' 
I'm complicated, yeah 
I'm complicated, yeah 

Is there anybody out there? 
Just like everybody out there 
Just one somebody out there, Just like me 

I'm complicated, I get frustrated 
Right or wrong, love or hate it 
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it 
I heard that song but I won't play it 
It's alright, it's okay, you wouldn't want me any other way 
Momma, keep on praying, 'cause I ain't changin' 
I'm complicated, I get frustrated 
Right or wrong, love or hate it 
I'm complicated, you can't sedate it 
I heard that song but I won't play it 

Is there anybody out there? 
Just like everybody out there 
Just one somebody out there 
Just like me 
Is there anybody out there 
Just like everybody out there 
Just one somebody out there 
Just like me 
I'm complicated






























 






























Novocaine
 
You can take back all your secrets 
We'll divide up all the lies 
Keep all the pictures in their frames 
Just cut me out, yeah, I'll be fine 
Sell the neighbors all my feelings 
Go on give away my pride 
It's hard to laugh and cry, live and die every night 

Keep your rolodex of friends 
And all the remnants can be mind 
I guess there'll be no happy endings 
When “once upon” is doing time 
There's a different kind of meaning now 
To livin' on a prayer 
Some don't seem to notice 
And the rest don't seem to care 

I tell myself I (feel no pain) 
But I'm feeling the pain (walk away) 
Can't walk away 
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope 
It's getting hard to cope you know 
When you're the needle running through my veins 
I've changed my name to novocaine 

You put my favorite belongings in a box in the garage (let's get this straight) 
You burned my favorite sweats from high school 
Tried to sell my muscle car (that's not OK) 
You're mother's gonna visit for a couple months this year 
They say you do the crime, you do the time 
It's all so clear 

I tell my self I (feel no pain) 
But I'm feeling the paint (walk away) 
Can't walk away 
I'm hanging on the ropes of hope 
It's getting hard to cope you know 
When you're the needle that's running through my veins 
I've changed my name to novacaine (feel no pain) 
Novacaine 

Well things ain't what they used to be 
It's a sleepless, self-help century 
I'm up to here with Dr. Phil and the modern man in me…






























Story Of My Life






























 






























Yesterday's a memory 
Another page of history 
Sell yourself for hopes and dreams 
That leave you feeling sideways 
Tripping over my own feet 
Trying to walk to my own beat 
Another car out on the street 
Trying to find the highway 
Hey, are you going my way? 

This is the story of my life 
And I write it everyday 
I know it isn't black and white 
And it's anything but gray 
I know that no, I'm not alright 
But I'll be OK 'cause 
Anything can, everything can happen 
That's the story of my life 

I'm gonna write the melody 
That's gonna make history 
Yeah, and when I paint my masterpiece 
I swear I'll show you first 
There just ain't a way to see 
Who, when, why or what will be 
'Til now is then it's a mystery 
A blessing and a curse 
Or something worse, yeah 

This is the story of my life 
And I write it everyday 
I know it isn't black and white 
And it's anything but gray 
I know that no, I'm not alright 
But I'll be OK 'cause 
Anything can, everything can 
I've been thinking 
Baby, you can help me write the story of my life 
Hey, whaddaya say? 

This is the story of my life 
And I write it everyday 
And I hope you're by my side 
When I'm writing the last page 

This is the story of my life 
And I write it everyday 
I know it isn't black and white 
And it's anything but gray 
I know that no, I'm not alright 
But I'll be OK 'cause 
Anything can, everything can 
I've been thinking, baby we can.. 
This is the story of my life
