California Ranch 03:34
lyrics

California Ranch Every day’s the same day Can’t tell the difference anymore Got nothing new to say That I haven’t said before I remember when new ideas Used to flow so free Now I look into the mirror Man what happened to me I used to live in a California ranch circa 1963 Music spinning out of my hi-fi Speaking truth to me Set my young soul free Every window had a view Every moment felt brand new Every dream turned into plans In a California ranch In a California ranch Lizard on the front porch Soaking up the rays Coyote in the moonlight I really miss those days In my mind those days are perfect But I still keep moving on Nothing lasts forever And I’ve gotta write this song I used to live in a California ranch circa 1963 Music spinning out of my hi-fi Speaking truth to me Set my young soul free Every window had a view Every moment felt brand new Every dream turned into plans In a California ranch In a California ranch I wanna wake up and feel that high again Gotta find out just who I was back then I used to live in a California ranch circa 1963 Music spinning out of my hi-fi Speaking truth to me Set my young soul free Every window had a view Every moment felt brand new Every dream turned into plans In a California ranch In a California ranch In a California ranch

Hard to be Heartbroken It’s hard to be heartbroken you know the world is round but it feels flat it’s hard to be heartbroken when you had some self respect but you don’t know where it’s at and now you’re heartbroken try to speak but you’re mis-spoken are you awake or un-woken hard to know when you’re heartbroken tears fall with no pro-vokin’ that’s how it is when you’re heartbroken it’s hard to be heartbroken when the one who broke you don’t feel no remorse it’s hard to be heartbroken when he says it was just a thing that ran its course and now you’re heartbroken try to speak but you’re mis-spoken are you awake or un-woken hard to know when you’re heartbroken tears fall with no pro-vokin’ that’s how it is when you’re heartbroken ohhh you don’t wanna look back ohhh no you don’t wanna look back and now you’re heartbroken try to speak but you’re mis-spoken are you awake or un-woken hard to know when you’re heartbroken tears fall with no pro-vokin’ that’s how it is when you’re heartbroken tears fall with no pro-vokin’ that’s how it is when you’re heartbroken heartbroken

Needs You 03:19
lyrics

Need’s You I love to start the day with a fresh brewed cup I like making smacking noises when it’s all drank up I like running by the river in the sun And taking the long way home just for fun But I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you, need’s you I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you I love a stack a pancakes when the bars close down Maple syrup on my lips, I love this town I like leaving the waitress smiling with a ten buck tip And a long hot shower and a glass of wine to sip but I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you, need’s you but I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you And I love beach sun on my skin Pizza hot and thin Extra money in my paycheck Muddy Waters in my tape deck I love to end my day making lists to-do And fall asleep believing I can see ‘em through And I love to dream I’m flying over Rome And I love to wake up finding that I’m home But I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you, need’s you But I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you, need’s you I don’t need to, I don’t need to All I need’s you

Without You 03:40
lyrics

Without You I hate early spring more than anything When the blue and the red birds sing It was you and me watching life be born again I hate sunny days worst of all Then a summer rain starts to fall We would walk for hours and not say a word at all I have thrown every piece of you away But these ghosts haunt my heart everyday And I don’t have a clue what I did to deserve this life First with then without you I hate golden leaves on the ground And the wind blowing colors around When we both believed in the perfect love we found I hate wintertime’s first snowflakes We would stretch our tongues for a taste The endless days when we had it all to waste I have thrown every piece of you away But these ghosts haunt my heart everyday And I don’t have a clue what I did to deserve this life First with then without you First with then without you

Strong and Wild You were just sixteen when you set my course Found the love of your life your tour de force Had no idea how to love a child So I grew up strong and wild Strong and wild You don’t know a thing about me But I’m strong and wild You didn’t know how to love me But I’m your love child Maybe you never meant to But you made me strong and wild You never held my hand when I scraped my knee Never sang a lullaby to me But I’m OK, I’ve got your smile And I grew up strong and wild Strong and wild You don’t know a thing about me But I’m strong and wild You didn’t know how to love me But I’m your love child Maybe you never meant to But you made me strong and wild You had to live your life and I hope you know I was a crazy girl, but I missed you so Now I’m OK, I’ve got your smile And I grew up strong and wild Strong and wild You don’t know a thing about me But I’m strong and wild You didn’t know how to love me But I’m your love child Maybe you never meant to But you made me strong and wild You made me strong and wild

When it comes to love I was young and growing tall I was sure I knew it all Young and growing tall sure I knew it all I gave a girl my heart and that was just the start That girl broke my heart that was just the start And what I didn’t know And the further on I go The less I know about anything When it comes to love The less I know about anything When it comes to love I was finally on my own and I thought that I had grown Out there on my own I thought that I had grown I was nearly 32 the year that I found you And nearly 32 when I gave my heart to you And what I didn’t know And the further on I go The less I know about anything When it comes to love The less I know about anything When it comes to love You think time teaches you You do what you need to do And when it all falls apart there you are A clueless kid with a broken heart I was nearly 42 the year I lost you Nearly 42 there was nothing I could do And what I didn’t know And the further on I go The less I know about anything When it comes to love The less I know about anything When it comes to love The less I know about anything When it comes to love

Take off your boots 04:17

Take off your boots I remember you I never forget a face Maybe it was school Or springtime in Alsace Feels like we’re old friends Birds of a feather At least we should’ve been But one way or the other Take off your boots and stay a while There’s time to kill and I like your style I have a little act that’ll make you smile So take off your boots and stay a while Take it easy put some beer on ice I’ll spin some rock n roll won’t that be nice Later sip a little cognac so Francophile Take off your boots and stay awhile stay a while It was only yesterday I was feeling down and low And it’s hard for me to say But I had no place to go Isn’t it amusing When you think you’re at the end Some days you’d swear you’re losing Next day you’ve got a brand new friend Take off your boots and stay a while There’s time to kill and I like your style I have a little act that’ll make you smile So take off your boots and stay a while Take it easy put some beer on ice I’ll spin some rock n roll won’t that be nice Later sip a little cognac so Francophile Take off your boots and stay awhile stay a while I’m fine alone But this world’s a big place And it’s such a pleasure to see a sweet face No pressure No pressure Take off your boots and stay a while There’s time to kill and I like your style I have a little act that’ll make you smile So take off your boots and stay a while Take it easy put some beer on ice I’ll spin some rock n roll won’t that be nice Later sip a little cognac so Francophile Take off your boots and stay awhile stay a while Take off your boots and stay awhile Take off your boots and stay awhile Take off your boots and stay awhile
