david nail - the sound of a million dreams
Seger was singing words I could believe in
And "Main Street" was my street that night
So I called up Samantha and asked her the
chance of us
Running out 'neath the moonlight
Well, She's not with me now, she can always
be found
When I rewind the radio dial
And like it was then I feel her on my skin
And I'm back there for awhile
Chorus:
So I labor for hours 'cause I know the power
Of a song when a song hits you right
Pouring my soul into stories of life
Hoping someone'll hear one tonight
Maybe my voice will cut through the noise
And stir up an old memory
And out of these piano keys
Comes the sound, the sound of a million dreams
My 18th summer I was a cocky up-and-comer
Cranking up "Born To Run"
Turned left out the drive with the pistons open wide
And I came back a Prodigal son
My spirit was broken, she threw the door open
I love you not, I told you so
When I hear, "Mama Tried," I still break down and cry
And pull to the side of the road
(Repeat chorus twice)
david nail - night s on fire
david nail - all the way
I'm likin' where we're at
You don't even have to ask
Leavin', runnin', come on, honey
You don't have to worry 'bout that
I got that you-just-know feelin' down in my soul
Girl, you're somethin'
Ain't had nothin' make me wanna go
All the way
Let's chase down forever, baby, what do you say?
All the way
I'll be right here beside you for the rest of your days
All the way
Baby, you lit a fire
You tripped some kinda wire
That want you bad, just gotta have you burnin' desire
I ain't no now-and-then
This ain't no mighta-been fly-by
No, baby, I'm so in
All the way
I'm a nonstop from new york to la
All the way
I'm the long way home while your song plays
All the way
Let's watch the sun go down
All the way, all the way
Let's let this night play out
All the way
All the way
Let's chase down forever, baby, what do you say?
All the way
I'll be right here beside you for the rest of your days
All the way
I'm a nonstop from new york to la
All the way, all the way
david nail - finding my way to you
I'm content that love's a mystery
I can laugh at life's uncertainties
Swim in the deep end
And not fear that I will drown
I don't try to understand it
Because I'm not the one who planned it
And that's all I really need to know for now
I don't mind the things I'm going through
Finding my way to you
They say it happens naturally
And I'm suppose to wait here patiently
But the truth is I can't help but want to run
When the dream is getting closer
And every day I'm getting older
And there's still one thing
In life I haven't done
But there's nothing
In this world I wouldn't do
Finding my way to you
I've been bruised and I've been broken
But that don't keep me from hoping
Because I believe in true love
And all it's going to be
I will celebrate these feelings
All the wanting and the needing
Until I'm holding you
And this journey is complete
It's a path filled with doorways
Sunny skies and rainy days
But I will keep my head
Held high through every mile
No one said it would be easy
To find the one who completes me
But someday I will turn
That corner and see you smile
And you'll say
I've felt all of these things too
Finding my way to you
I've been bruised and I've been broken
But that don't keep me from hoping
Because I believe in true love
And all it's going to be
I will celebrate these feelings
All the wanting and the needing
Until I'm holding you
And this journey is complete
Finding my way to you
Finding my way to you
No I don't mind the things I'm going through
'cause everyday it puts me one step closer to
Finding my way to you
david nail - i m about to come alive
I can hear you
Downstairs
Crying on the phone
Telling someone
That I'm here
But you still feel
All alone
Maybe
We were too young
Goodbye
I've gotta go
I can hear
The baby waking up
Got to get back
To the life I know
I should have never
Believed him
Maybe
I should just
Leave him
Maybe I'm not
But you're all
I got left
To believe in
Don't give up on me
I'm about
To come alive
And I know
That it's been hard
And it's been
A long time coming
Don't give up on me
I'm about
To come alive
No one thought
I was good enough
For you
Except for you
Don't let
Them be right
After all
That we've
Been through
'Cause somewhere over
That rainbow
There's a place for me
A place with you
In every frame
Upon our wall
Lies a face
That'1s seen it all
Through ups and downs
And then more downs
We helped each other
Off of the ground
No one knows
What we've
Been through
Making it
Ain't making it
Without you
david nail - let it rain
It's hard to find the perfect time to say something
you know, is gunna change everything
Living with the shame,
it ain't nothing like the pain that I saw on her face
Now me and my pile of things
that she threw out the window,
Drowning next to me
No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring
So let it rain, let it pour, she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
Let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
last thing I remember was the unfamiliar taste of someone on my lips,
It's to late to turn around,
When the shades start coming down,
The guilt you feels the last thing on your mind
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve,
just let it come down on me, let it come down on me, let it rain
So let it rain, let it pour, if she don't love me anymore,
Just let it come down on me, let it come down on me,
every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve, just let it come down on me,
let it come down on me, let it rain,
Ooh let it rain, ooh let it rain, just let it rain, just let it rain, ooh let it rain
david nail - red light
so this is how it ends
this is where it all goes down
this is what I don't love you feels like
It aint the middle of the night
and it aint even raining outside
It aint exactly what i had in mind.
For goodbye
at a redlight in the sunshine
on a sunday nothing to say
don't even try
some are coming home
some are leaving town
while my worlds crashing down
on a sunday in the sunshine at a red light
I thought she was going to say
something about that couple kissing
accrossing the street
our something about this beautiful day
but she just looked me in the eye
said its over didnt try to lie or pick a fight
I might have seen it
coming that way
theres a mama
calming down a little baby
in the backseat in front of me
theres an old man dressed
in his sunday best
just waiting on green
but i cant see getting past
this redlight in the sunshine
on a sunday nothing to say
don't even try
some are coming home
some are leaving town
while my worlds crashing down
on a sunday in the sunshine at a red light
david nail - someone like you
I heard that youre settled down
That you found a boy and youre married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess he gave you things I didnt give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Aint like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldnt stay away, I couldnt fight it
I hoped youd see my face
And that youd be reminded that for me it isnt over
Never mind, Ill find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Dont forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised in a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldnt stay away, I couldnt fight it
I had hoped youd see my face
And that youd be reminded that for me it isnt over
Never mind, Ill find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Dont forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes, theyre memories made
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Nevermind, Ill find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Dont forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Nevermind, Ill find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Dont forget me, I beg
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
david nail - turning home
Usually take one last pass through town
Stop the car and touch the ground
Watch those streetlights swayin? in the breeze
Decorated store fronts
Rusty old gas pumps
Try to fill my mind up
With somethin? before I go
Picture postcard memories
You know they always make for good company
I don?t know no town
Like the old town
Even when the miles are many
I feel like I?m still around
Deep inside me
Like rings through an oak tree
Yeah, there something ?bout a Sunday when I?m gone
That keeps me turning home
I?m standin? here beneath these billboard lights
Takes me back to those autumn nights
Hometown bleachers packed real tight
As we marched down the field
My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate
Out on Airport Road real late
No one could walk a line too straight
We usually made it home alright
And glory days I cant re-live
Stories I?ll never forget
And I don?t know no friends
Like the old friends
I never seem to laugh now
Like I did with them
But deep inside me
A piece of history
Yeah, I hear their voices even though they?re gone
And it keeps me turning home
Never twice the same way does it start
And sure enough she stole my heart
On the old gym floor, spinnin? round and round one night
And though we both tried hard to wait
We sure did love the taste
Of the sweet love being made and prayin? I got it right
Graduation came and went
Along with all the time we spent
And I don?t know no love
Like the first love
When I think about the best times
She?s the one I think of
Deep inside me
All though the taste is bittersweet
I see her smilin? even though she?s gone
And it keeps me turning home, yeah
And it keeps me turning home
david nail - whatever she s got
She's a little complicated
She'll make her mind up just to change it
The kind of girl that keeps you waiting, waiting around
She likes to get her toes done bright red
She's always reapplyin' her lipstick
The muddy riverbank she's the first in, and the last out
She's got something I can't figure out
That everybody's talkin' 'bout
She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sun one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got
Tell your mind before you thought it
What you thought your plan was park it
To figure out where your heart is so twisted up
Have you spendin' every weekend
And every penny you've been keepin'
Just to figure out what she's thinkin' when you're thinkin' it's love
Cause she got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sun one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
Yeah, I want whatever she's got
She's got me hangin' on the ledge
On the edge of a kiss
All I ever wanna do is this
She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want
She got the blue jeans painted on tight
That everybody wants on a Saturday night
She got the mood ring, she's never the same
She's sun one minute then she's pouring down rain
And she'll do whatever she wants
And when she moves every jaw's gonna drop
And I do but I don't want her to stop
I want, I want, I want
Whatever she's got
I want whatever she's got
She's a little bit complicated
That's alright
Doesn't matter I'll keep on waiting
For whatever she's got
For whatever she's got
