70/80s
Friday night and the lights are low
(6)
Looking out for a place to go
I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped up four-wheel drive
(7)
Carved my name into his leather seats
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
(6)
Even when I'm with my boo
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast
Faces pass
And I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way, makin' a way (3)
Through the crowd
Take on me
(Take on me)
Take me on
(Take on me)
I'll be gone
(5)
In a day or two
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said, "Don't mind, but what do you mean,
(4)
I am the one
I'm goin' out tonight, I'm feelin' alright
(6)
Gonna let it all hang out
U got, u got it bad
When you're on the phone
(7)
Hang up and you call right back
And I'm hearin' what you say
But I just can't make a sound, no
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
(7)
Didn't think I'd turn around and say
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doin' better on your own (On your own), so don't buy in
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (Good enough) (3)
for someone else
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
(5)
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for
(6)
has been here the whole time
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
(7)
But I think you're moving too fast
Here's the thing, we started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah
(4)
Since you been gone
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothin'
And (6)
I don't even need your love
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
(4)
Everybody's looking for something
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
(5)
Take me home, country roads
Getting paid is her forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can't get her out of my mind (wow)
(8)
I think about the girl all the time
You've got no choice, babe
But to move on, and you know
There ain't no time to waste
You're just too blind to see
But in the end
(5)
ya know it's gonna be me
Because you had a bad day, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me, don't lie
You work at a smile (6)
and you go for a ride
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
(10)
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call, but I've lost all control
(5)
and I need you now
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know
(6)
I'm not what you, you need
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff, yes
If I bought it
(3)
please don't touch
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man (5)
and his will to survive
