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 a lie, it's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away

Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm 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, nothing's what it seems
We're living in the broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I knocked on every door down every dead end street
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe?

Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm gonna live my life

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, and show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day
Have a nice day

Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm gonna live my life

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, and 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

When the world keeps trying, to drag me down
I've gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground
I say, hey, have a nice day
Have a nice day, have a nice day

Blaze of Glory

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed

I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six-gun lover, a candle in the wind

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well, at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win

Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister, catch me if you can

I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory

And Lord, I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me Young Gun

You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old

You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory

Lord, I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me Young Gun

Each night, I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep

Lord, I got to ask a favor
And I hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory

Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me Young Gun
I'm the Young Gun
Young Gun, Young Gun

Never Say Goodbye

As I sit in this smoky room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend

Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat, baby

Remember how we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together forever

Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end

Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Holdin' on we've got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go

Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong

We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together forever

Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end

Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Holdin' on we've got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

And I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together forever

Never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end

Say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Holdin' on we've got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye

Santa Fe

They say that no man is an island
Good things come to those who wait
The things are here or there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

The spirits they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home

I swear, I'm gonna live forever
Tell my Maker He can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know
With no illusions
That only one of you is going home again

And I blame this world for making
A good man evil
It's this world that can drive a
Good man mad

And it's this world that turns a killer
Into a hero
Well I blame this world for making
A good man bad

Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear, I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
(Oh, Lord have mercy)

So I save a prayer
When I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And I'll sign it from a sinner with no name

When I meet my Maker will He close the book
On the hearts I broke and the lives I took
Will He walk away
'Cause my soul's, it's too late to save

Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear, I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
I got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud


It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks


It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down


It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive


It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

Crazy Love

The city sounds like a symphony
A cabbie screams obscenities
The horns are honking jazz in the night
Her street is lit like a Christmas tree
This place is my amphetamine
She junks me but it's alright
In her summer dress she parts the sea
Her hair wrapped up in rosary beads
Everyone else is gone but her and me
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
Sitting on my stoop
I lit one up and put the ashes in my coffee cup
And watched the world passing me by
Throw a coat of paint on this rusty heart
Ain't it funny how life imitates art
Saint Valentine he's got bloody knees tonight
But when she's walking down the street
The sidewalk's there to kiss her feet
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
She needs me, pleads me
Wraps me in her loving charms
She'll tease me, squeeze me
But I'm the man when I'm in her arms
Now the angels sing a melody
That they wrote for her explicitly
That no one hears but her and me
Now wait a minute... wait I can't believe my eyes
Who's that coming around the corner?
Ay, she's lookin' fine ain't she? ... get out the way!
No, no, no get out the way... look at those high heel sneakers...
Chorus:
Here she comes, it's crazy love
Here it comes again
That crazy thing called love
Here she comes, it's crazy love

Livin' On A Prayer

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union’s been on strike, he’s down on his luck
It’s tough, so tough

Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love, mmm, for love

She says we’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that’s a lot
For love we’ll give it a shot!

Oh, we’re half way there
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer

Tommy’s got his six string in hock
Now he’s holding in what he used to make it talk
So tough, mmm, it’s tough

Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
“Baby it’s okay, someday”

We gotta hold on to what we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that’s a lot
For love we’ll give it a shot!

Oh, we’re half way there
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand, we’ll make it I swear
Oh oh, livin’ on a prayer
Livin’ on a prayer!

We gotta hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got

Whoa, we’re half way there
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer

Whoa, we’re half way there
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer

Whoa, we’re half way there
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin’ on a prayer
