Scrappy Come Home
They called him Scrappy, he was the one, the best companion, and a lot of fun
With teritorial instinct, he ruled the yard at night
Until a big four wheeler, came and took my doggies life
Come on Scrappy where are you, we got a million things to do
I got your chew toy, I got your bone, so c'mon Scrappy please come home
I walked the neighborhood, 100 times
through the dark and silence, I still could hear him whine
Thinking back to the day, when I found him on the road
How could you go and leave me, leave me all alone, no
Come on Scrappy where are you, we got a million things to do
I got your chew toy, I got your bone, so C'mon Scrappy please come home
A red bowl sits empty, on my kitchen floor, I'd give up anything, to fill it just once more
A tattered pillow, a half chewed bone, how could you go and leave me, leave me all alone
Come on Scrappy where are you, we got a million things to do
I got your chew toy, I got your bone, so C'mon Scrappy please come home
(Won't you come home, boy)

Million Miles Away
It's probably my fault if the sun don't shine today.
I'm not looking forward to tomorrow anyway
My head is growing larger from the thoughts that shouldn't stay
My mind is but a million miles away
I sit around and watch the children play
Thinking of the years I've thrown away
My god- she knows the answer, I often heard her say
Million miles away (yeah million miles away)
Is there an answer for the problems of today
We need a hero who will take the pain away
So tell me where is Elvis cause we need him right away
He's on the run a million miles away.
I sit around and watch the children play
Thinking of the years I've thrown away
My god- she knows the answer, I often heard her say
Million miles away (yeah million miles away)
Is there an answer for the problems of today
We need a hero who will take the pain away
So tell me where is Elvis cause we need him right away
He's on the run a million miles away.
I sit around and watch the children pray
Thinking of the tears that flow today
My god- she knows the answer, I often heard her say
Million miles away (yeah million miles away)

Back in the Day
02:59

Do you remember walking, to get where you wanted to go
Bowling alleys and shopping malls, and late night picture shows
Saving up 5 dollars for a record and a coke
The bad taste of your first beer, and the birth of video
Hangin' around stayin' up all night with-a no real place to be
Smoking in the woods out back so no one else could see
The ties were so much better between Dougie, Scott, and Ray
Things were so much easier - Back in the day
Do you remember 4 years old fired up to go to school
G.I. Joes and BB Guns, bee stings and swimming pools
The wonder and excitement of the first years fallen snow
the legendary MC5, Kiss and the Ramones
Where have all the friendships gone, the slinky and moon boots
What about Atari and the need for trendy shoes
The value of the dollar was much longer than they say
Things were so much easier - Back in the Day -Back in the Day
I don't care for what the kids now play
Cause radio's not what it used to be
The years are getting longer, the cold keeps getting stronger,
and no one seems to care about anything (Repeat after solo)
The Bay City Rollers have gone away
Carson has nothing more to say
God I wish and long to be again
Back in the Day
....now take me back

Dreamin' Out Loud
04:15
|
|||
April mornin', 10 to 9. Out on the porch she sings a lullaby
Sounds so content, divine to be alive, so beautiful yet blind
On the window a lighted light, smoke a cigarette and hope that she'll walk by
I just love her dearly and I don't know why.
So beautiful yet blind
Walk down any busy street, and be surprised at who you'll see
People rushing here and there, worried that life ain't always fair
Only what lies in the game for me, only what lies in the game for me
She breathes so gently natures sigh
A lonely Eagle soars on through the lonely sky
The world sheds a tear from her watching eye
For humanity she'll cry
Walk down any busy street, and be surprised at who you'll see
People rushing here and there, worried that life ain't always fair
Only what lies in the game for me, only what lies in the game for me
(Repeat)
April mornin', 10 to 9. Out on the porch I sing a lullaby
Sounds so content, it's divine to be alive
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn.... these lyrics.... hahaha!

Because

BECAUSE
Because I woke up late this morning, remote control stuck tight within my hand
Lungs filled with dirt from too much smokin, I guess I do because I can
I don't care too much for breakfast, I dont think I ever will
I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still
Population, education, television, mastrubation,
Tell me why you do things you do now
Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme
For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream
Say no drugs say yes to gin and tonic, a clean Mercedes is a plus
Now make sure your chidren truly love you, or they'll go bad and lose your trust
I don't care too much for suburbs, I don't think I ever will
I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still
Population, education, television, generation,
Tell me why you do things you do now
Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme
For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream
Because I woke up late this morning, remote control stuck tight within my hand
Lungs filled with dirt from too much smokin, I guess I do because I can
I don't care too much for problems, I dont think I ever will
I crack a beer for measure and be glad the world is still
Population, education, television, generation,
Tell me why you do things you do now
Because money is our master, and our shield a plastic scheme
For the hate that makes us faster, helps us run toward a deadly dream
Run toward a deadly dream

ALL I SAID
Babe I just wanted you to know, that my love for you is right
Babe don't you never never leave me, cause' if you left me I would die.
Sorry don't come very easy, to a man who never tries
So babe don't ya don't ya go and tease me, give me one chance to make it right
My love for you is so much stronger than before, I'd sell my soul 1000 times or more
Babe don't you run away, we'll grow stronger every day,
Cause' I need you and that's all that I can say, yeah I need you and that's all that I can say

Walk Away
03:46
|
|||
Full Moon stares, cloudy heads, darkness laughs the day is dead
Crickets hiding out of sight scream for freedom through the night.
Killers glide down lonely beats, bums lay scattered on the streets
Milk box shows a missing child - Well, I'll Walk Away
German Shepherd's sleep in yards, guarding cars and watching bars
Do not forward, don't return, tomorrow's coming we shall learn.
A Policeman cries, a nation lies, a bad man makes his money rise
while a good man's broke and wonders why - I'll walk away
Clouds will hide the sun - A million thoughts away
Garbage hikes down freeway miles where sidewalk children play
Forward march another day, time to pray and time to lay
and watch your dreams all slip away - I'll walk away

Bill and Stephi
02:15
|

Her name was Stephi, his name was Bill
and they both were dancers on a new exotic pill
The fun was in the make-up and the public was a stage
The evenings were a torrid exhibition in a cage
But Oh- she loved him so, uh oh, he didn't know
Now what's a girl to do?
Both were getting tired of the boring day to day
Stephi got to thinking about going to L.A.
Bill his thoughts were different and his heart was in his throat
cause he couldn't sleep that evening with the fear she'd never know
That Oh- he loved her so, uh oh, she didn't know
Now what's a boy to do?
The last night they danced together before Stephi was to go
Bill he said, "hey Stephi, there's something you should know,
for months I've loved you dearly in a most peculiar way".
She pulled his body close to hers and from the heart he heard her say,
"Uh, oh, I love you so, Uh, Oh, I'll never go".
And that's the end, ya know?

I Went Walking
04:04
|

I walked through mountains - I swam the sea
I slept upon a cloud- reluctantly
I danced with rainbows - to a pot of gold
I took of nothing - but the memories - to hold
Till all our world - is a family
And joins together - from sea to sea
We'll walk the shoreline - just you and me
Forgetting worries - and everything
(Repeat last verse)
