Always
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a
Fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good
Anymore
But baby, that's just me
Chorus:
And I will love you, baby -
Always
And I'll be there forever and a
Day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't
Shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be
On my mind
And I'll love you - Always
Now your pictures that you left
Behind
Are just memories of a different
Life
Some that made us laugh, some
That made us cry
One that made you have to say
Goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers
Through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try
To understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when
He pulls you near
When he says the words you've
Been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him 'cause those
Words are mine
To say to you till the end of time
Chorus
If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Solo
Well, there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one
More try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun
Still shines
Chorus

Bed Of Roses
Sitting here wasted and Wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I
Long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all
That I need
Chorus:
I want to lay you in a bed of Roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of Nails
I want to be just as close as the
Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on bed of Roses
Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on
My way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd
Given each night
Just to see through this Payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me
Back to you
I'll just close my eyes and Whisper,
Baby blind love is true
Chorus
The hotel bar hangover
Whiskey’s gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Solo
When you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got
Nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend
Chorus

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
Chorus:
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
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
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
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Chorus
Solo
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 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
Chorus

Living' On a Prayer
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
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 - for love
She says: We’ve got to hold on To what we’ve got
´Cause it doesn’t makes a Difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s A lot
For love - we’ll give it a shot Chorus:
We’re half way there Living' On A Prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it - I swear
Living' On A Prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he’s holding in what he Used
To make it talk - so tough, it’s Tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it’s Okay, someday
We’ve got to hold on to what We’ve got
´Cause it doesn’t makes a Difference
If we make it or not
We’ve got each other and that’s A lot
For love - we’ll give it a shot
Chorus
Solo
We’ve got to hold on ready or Not
You live for the fight when it’s All that you’ve got
Chorus

Never Say Goodbye
As I sit in this Smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time as a stranger
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
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out - we’d break Their hearts
Together - forever
Chorus:
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say
Goodbye
Holding' on - we got to try
Holding' 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
Chorus
Solo
I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever
Chorus

These Days
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a Styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner, singing old songs about change
Everybody got their cross to bare, these days
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna be's
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
Chorus:
These days - the stars seem out of reach
These days - there ain't a ladder on these streets
These days - are fast, love don't last in this graceless age
There ain't anybody left but but us these days
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His mamma said he was crazy - he said mamma "I've got to try"
Don't you know that all my heroes died?
And I guess I'd rather die than fade away
Chorus
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world keeps turning round and round and round and round
These days
Solo
Chorus

This Ain't a Love Song
I should have seen it coming when the roses died
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
I should have listened when you said good night
You really meant good-bye
Baby ain't it funny how you never ever learn to fall
You're really on your knees when you think you're standing tall
But only fools are know-it-alls and I've played that fool for you
I cried and cried every night
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny it that your love drove me crazy baby
Chorus:
If the love that I got for you is gone
If the river I've cried ain't that long
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Baby I thought you and me would
Stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
You and I were the renegades some things never change
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby
And now it's so sad that whatever we had
Ain't worth saving oh oh oh
Chorus
Solo
I cried and I cried every night
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny it that
Your love drove me crazy
Chorus
Then I'm wrong yeah I'm wrong
This ain't a love song
Oh oh oh no no
