Time & Space 03:25
Rusty and old Left out in the cold It’s been so long Forgot about me You lost the key To start me up & turn me on Youth is gone Time moves on You’ll never win that race Just Look at yourself See The age in your face Can’t travel back through time and space Not Much more time Time left to waste Trying to find A state of mind Different time and place Trying to find a feeling To fill the empty space Drive an old car Hear an old song It might take you there Hop inside Let’s go for a ride Feel the wind in our hair Forever young That song’s been sung Just a memory But all those old songs Like a time machine It’ll take you back through time and space When we were young So much time to waste Lookin for a future Buried in the past Lookin for a Love Love that can last Lookin for truth For the fountain of youth Hope I find it fast We can travel back Through time and space Say it can’t be done Hearts will find a way

Set My Heart Free (free) 02:50
I never saw you in the daylight Just your reflection in the night When I needed you you were never there Just a beautiful ghost Hanging in the air And I needed you You never needed me What can I do To set my heart free Yeah I played the fool Didn't realize Didn't want to see what was never in your eyes But I don't regret ever trying To save a Love meant for dying Well I played my hand but I just can't fold And to get to the end the story must be told And I needed you You never needed me What can I do To set my heart free When I see you now I never feel the same Don't want to go back and play all those games All the Love that I wasted Brand new day time to face it Now I worked it out It’s all good for me I finally learned To set my own heart free

Like a little drop of sadness In a tear that I once shed Thought I moved on years ago But now I'm thinking of you instead I can still feel the madness see the storm clouds up ahead When you fell into my arms Then we rolled into my bed Like a nuclear reaction Only safe when it's contained Started a chain reaction And then the meltdown came How can I forget you? That crazy Love affair Time can't erase memories And why do I still care How can I forget you? and your crazy little ways We didn't worry about tomorrows We just had yesterdays Confusion followed quickly Then darkness filled the air Nothing left but ashes And a burned out hollow stare Your chemical dependence Like a knife right through my heart Tried to be your savior But never got very far I don't know where you are now Don't know what else I can say Try and forget the memory Probably better off that way How can I forget you? Sometimes I wish I could Watched your self destruction And none of it was good How can I forget you? How you threw it all away Crippled by the poisons Numbed by all your pain Lessons life has taught me All the new things that I know How Love can't always conquer So I had to let you go.

Who You Gonna Be? (free) 03:10
I don’t get it I just feel it I can’t buy it I can’t steal it I just love it I can’t hate it I just sing it I just play it Who You gonna be? Who? Only Me! I can’t fake it I can’t smell it I can’t taste it I don’t sell it I could lose it I can’t choose it I get excited I can’t fight it Who You gonna be? Who? Only Me! Here I am in the moment And I feel it coming through On a mission No competition I Cant win it I’m Just in it And I’ll know it When I hear it Speaking to me My spirit Who You gonna be? Who? Only Me!

The Madman (free) 02:48

I was driving in the middle of nowhere It was dark outside and cold Looking for a little of somewhere A place I can call my home I got no destination Just driving down the road A man can't reap what he's too afraid to sow Last night I had a crazy dream You were with me in my room Maybe it's a message, a message from above Don't ever run away run away from Love Driving down the road again Thinking about that dream But I feel I'm going round in circles A road to nowhere it seems Take another drink and sing those blues Don't get anywhere until you pay those dues Still looking for the road to freedom I can tell it's not far away Maybe I'll find it tomorrow Or maybe get lucky today Gotta find that place I have traveled far and wide Down backroads on my own Somewhere deep inside I don't really want to be alone Try to fix me up but I can't hang around I just might end up, end up in your town. In your town
