OPEN ROAD Tell me that you love me Tell me you’re true Tell me there’s no other one makes you feel like I do This love has washed away The lives that came before Now there’s an open road For us two to explore Oh the night is falling And I’m lying awake Just can’t stop staring at the Side of your face This love has washed away The lives that came before Now there’s an open road For us two to explore This love has washed away The lives that came before Now there’s an open road For us two to explore So tell me that you love me Tell me You’re true Tell me there’s no there one Makes you feel Like I do This love has washed away The lives that came before Now there’s an open road For us two to explore This love has washed away The lives that came before Now there’s an open road For us two to explore

Lucia 04:39
lyrics

She Gave up all her dreams At her Father’s Behest He sent her to the doctor Said “spare no expense” No matter how the doctor tried He could not Put her mind To rest It was more than a broken heart That led to this I remember Lucia On the stages out in France I remember Lucia And the way she used to dance Gold scales swayed to the music Held everyone entranced I remember Lucia And The way she used to dance Soon after she was born She drew her mother’s ire Their relationship was one of scorn And it roiled like a tempest They say that she was left forlorn By the object of her desire Now he visits her in the early morning And he feeds her breakfast I remember Lucia On the stages out in France I remember Lucia And the way she used to dance Gold scales swayed to the music Held everyone entranced I remember Lucia And The way she used to dance Written out of history And locked in a madhouse vest It’s hard to know what went wrong It’s anybody’s guess Could have been her brother George And it might’ve been her Mom Or maybe she just tried to live When the time was wrong I remember Lucia On the stages out in France I remember Lucia And the way she used to dance Gold scales swayed to the music Held everyone entranced I remember Lucia And The way she used to dance (x2)

I'll Do Anything 04:02
lyrics

I’ve been beaten down Wander through this town I feel like getting out but I just don’t know how I got me a job Trying to make ends meet But I work dark to dark and life passes by me I’m gonna do what circumstances require of me Walk through fields of blood and fire baby and turn the other cheek I’ll do anything to keep you loving me Yeah Ma and Pa split up When i was just a pup But I don’t blame em none thats how it goes with love Got a land of opportunity Thats what’s been taught to me But it seems that for some it’s too far out of reach I’m gonna do what circumstances require of me Walk through fields of blood and fire baby and turn the other cheek I’ll do anything to keep you loving me Now I ain’t looking back Got my eyes on the path And there’s Nothing I can’t beat If you take this walk with me No there’s nothing I can’t beat if you take this walk with me I’m gonna do what circumstances require of me Walk through fields of blood and fire baby and turn the other cheek I’ll do anything to keep you loving me I’ll do anything to keep you loving me

Have You Ever Been Great Well I'm an American Global war and beer in a can God blessed my special land Built on my brothers backs I got everything I need Unlimited corporate greed I choose my leaders from Reality tv Now there's a dividing line That side yours and this side mine If I don't think you look right I'll lock you up tight CHORUS: Oh home of the brave What have we became The land of the free Have you ever been great I teach equality and peace To those who share my beliefs Meanwhile I ignore What's outside my door Got a thirst only oil feeds If you question my needs I'll bring down a strike Light up your sky at night Oh history's bad taste First Nations laid to waste And all the crosses burned Leave me unconcerned Chorus: Oh home of the brave What have we became The land of the free Have you ever been great I can disguise my hate I'll wrap it up in the flag And while I'm diggin graves Star spangled banner waves Got these conspiracy blues Don't care about the nightly news To make myself feel safe I'll justify your rape You say you've sacrificed And I want more and more Everyone has got a price Now show me yours Chorus: Oh home of the brave What have we became The land of the free Have you ever been great
