1. Rockin' Chair

You want love – you get hate
You push and shove, you know you just can't wait
You've had your fun, you don't fool no one
You build it up – to tear it down
You're running out of luck, I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night till you're out of sight

Hide and seek – turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired – you're a damn dirty liar
When I run, I said I ain't coming back

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

When you came – you play rough
Now I know your game and you ain't tough enough
Don't know what you've done 'cause you ain't begun
You fool with me – you're going to lose
You've got to understand that you don't get to choose
When night comes around I can't be found

Hide and seek – turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired – you're a damn dirty liar
When I run, I said I ain't coming back

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

Red sky burning – won't be no returning – so long
Fire up the motor – don't you get no closer – I'm gone

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair
I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair

2. Mama

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different, I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Mama let your garden grow

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different, I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow

Can't fall down, never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You've got to show a little giving
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me

We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accounting
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can

Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me

3. Only A Memory

Well, he was born, his father's pride and joy
His young life scored before it began
Dressed up in blue, his mother's only boy
Someday this child would have to be a man

He went to school, shiny and white as pearl
They did not teach things he should learn
Things he would need in this deceitful world
Which way to run or which way to turn

He became strong, everyone looked to him
One of the boys, a beacon in the night
And when he spoke, people would gather in
They would stay close, he'd make them feel all right

One, one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One, one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness make them burn bright

He wasn't scared, he had no fear at all
Said his goodbyes and marched off to war
And as he looked back, he heard his mother call
Said she'd be waiting at heaven's door

Soon to be killed, left on a muddy field
And all of his thoughts were scattered just like seeds
And he never knew, threw up his arms and reeled
He felt no pain, his heart start to bleed

One, one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One, one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness make them burn bright

4. Reckless Man

No promises to keep
Won't lose an hours sleep
Talks fast but makes no sense
The mask of innocence

Turns on the golden light
Perception clear and bright
He don't need no crystal ball
He don't need no one at all

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He thinks he wrote the book
Just take a second look
He reads it everyday
Then tells it anyway

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

5. Matter Of Survival

A matter of survival, that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

So scared when I walk to your door, I saw you turn out the light
I can't take this hurt any more, I shout it out to the night
Living without you ain't living at all, tell me how do I get by?

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival, that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

I walk the streets in the night
I feel your spirit deep inside
It comes with the darkness, stays till the light
I got to face it, there's nowhere to hide

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival, that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

6. What Kind Of Love Is This

I can read between the lines
Understand what's on your mind
There's a storm about to break
You just can't wait

Stand up, hear me out
Stand up, hear what I'm talking about
I'm confused – you can't lose

What kind of love is this?
When I can't defend myself?
What kind of love is this?
Got to look for help

Now we're running out of time
And no matter how I try
All the colours turn to black
You can't get back

Stand up, hear me out
Stand up, hear what I'm talking about
Been accused – you're bad news

What kind of love is this?
When I can't defend myself?
What kind of love is this?
Got to look for help

7. Heartbroke And Busted

What you going to do on your own?
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings, can't be right
You think nobody's going to miss you tonight

Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice...

Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around

You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep in your soul
You're still reeling from the fight
You wouldn't know it, if it hit you tonight

Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice...

Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around

And I will never know the questions you're asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon the judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause?

Mistrusted, heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice...

Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
You'll be all right when love comes around

8. Shoot

You take a dangerous line, holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time before you hurt someone
So keep your running shoes close and sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost, the hunter won't be long

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run?
When you have to go on living by the gun...

Well, go on, shoot, someone cries, that's the beginning
Go on, shoot, justify the blood you're spilling
Come on, shoot, show the world that you're not kidding

All gather deep in the earth, a careless light betrays
Be feared, the devil, he's at work, no place to end your days
To hold the balance of the fight and scream your hearts desire
Don't give you automatic right to quench the holy fire

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run?
When you have to go on living by the gun...

Well, go on, shoot, someone cries, that's the beginning
Go on, shoot, justify the blood you're spilling
Come on, shoot, show the world that you're not kidding

9. No Way Out

Its another long night, ain't no heart in this town without pity
There's not enough love, it's tough in this part of the city
Somebody cries, tonight we ride, we'll take you to the other side

Hear me mother, will day ever come?
Say a prayer for your wayward son
If I could, I would run
But there's no way out, no way out, no way out
Ain't we born to be free

On the far side of town with the rain falling down, she stands waiting
It don't seem right, she cries to the night, her heart breaking
She can hear his words, still see his face, it takes her to another place

Hear me father, just what will it take?
Give me an answer before it's too late
How to make an escape
Is there no way out, no way out, no way out
Ain't we born to be free
Ain't we born to be free

10. Cry For You

I'm standing in your doorway like I've done a thousand times
I keep waiting for an answer that don't come
I can get through anything, live through any storm life can bring
But when it comes to losing you, there's nothing I can do

But cry for you, baby
Die every time that I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night, I cry for you

I keep staring at your window, trying to see through your walls
'Cause the walls we build ain't always made of stone
I'm standing out in the rain, knowing I can't touch you again
It's the hardest thing to take, the thought of it makes me

Cry for you, baby
Die every time that I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night, I cry for you

Blame it on pride – my fatal mistake
'Cause I never stopped loving you
No, I never said a word – I just let you go
Now I'm paying for it all

Cry for you, baby
Die every time that I hear your name
Don't know what to do
A man shouldn't cry like I cry for you
Ever since you said goodbye
Baby, every single night, I cry for you

11. Born To Be King

New broom had swept and did collect
A thousand tears from far and near
The time had come, the chosen one
A welcome guest by children blessed

The doors unlocked, the walls are down
No more to wear the thorny crown
The game is up, no fooling now
The power is on for everyone

He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
He was born to be king

He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king
He was born to be king

He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born to be king
He was born to be
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
Born, he was born
He was born
He was born
He was born
He was born

He was born to be king
Alone in peace he'd bring
He was born to be king
Look down to teach and sing
Justify everything
