edwin mccain - 3 am
It's 3:00 AM
and I'm awake and my heart still dreaming
It's 3:00 AM
and outside I hear the souls still screaming
It's been so long you know since my head's been this clear
Just like a ship lost in the night
I just don't know which way I should steer
But I'll keep chasing my dreams
And only you can make them real
I pour my heart out every night
But do you know the way that I feel
Sometimes this is work
And don't you know sometimes this is play
Sometimes you are listening to me
And sometimes you don't hear a damn word that I say
Sometimes there's a girl
Sometimes I go home alone
And I guess it's no wonder right now
That I do very well on my own
But I'll keep chasing my dreams
And only you can make them real
I pour my heart out every night
But do you know the way that I feel
And I will play just as long as you will listen
Now I'm in no big hurry to get back on the road
Sometimes in this lifestyle
I feel like there's so much that I'm missing
Well I'm missing you
It's just that I'm...so far from home
It's 3:00 AM
I'm awake and my heart still dreaming
It's 3:00 AM
Outside I hear the souls still screaming
edwin mccain - a prayer to st peter
Let them in Peter
For they are very tired
Give them couches where the angels sleep
And light those fires
Let them wake whole again
To brand new dawns
Fired by the sun
Not war-times bloody guns
May their peace be deep
Remember where the broken bodies lie
God knows how young they were
To have to die
Give them things they like
Let them make some noise
Give dance hall bands not golden harps
To these our boys
Let them love Peter
For they've had no time
They should have bird songs and trees
And hills to climb
The taste of summer
And a ripened pear
And girls sweet as meadow wind
And flowing hair
And tell them how they are missed
But say not to fear
It's gonna be all right
With us down here
edwin mccain - ain t nobody
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around no more
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around
Well I've learned my lesson and now I see
Love just ain't the thing for me
Ain't nobody gonna turn me around
Ain't nobody gonna talk sweet talk to me
Ain't nobody gonna tell me how sweet your love can be
I'm gonna take my love and put in on the shelf
Ain't gonna give it to nobody else
Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me
Love you've been so doggone mean
You shattered every one of my dreams
You know I can't love nobody else
Yet you left me here all by myself
You turned me around
You turned me around
I learned my lesson and now I see
Love ain't the thing for me
Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me around
edwin mccain - alive
Al, he sells records down on old St. Charley's Street
He's cleaning up Fat Tuesday's mess he keeps the sidewalks neat
And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife
And if it wasn't for the music he couldn't get on with his life
And he knows what I know
It's not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know we're alive
Well now Be Be's singing gospel
And down on Bourbon she sings the blues
She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes
And she knows what I'm after
Chase my dreams with all my might
She says you shouldn't be so anxious and deep down I know she's right
And she knows what I know
It's not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know we're alive
Well get on board the rocket
Step right into the front car
You know life's a roller coaster
It ain't got no safety bar
Raise your voices up with laughter
Bring it in with one big sigh
Consecrated in the wonder .... we're alive
Norman he plays music but only in my dreams
Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings
But sometimes he's a spectre and I wake up clenched with fear
But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear
And he knows what I know
It's not all that hard to survive
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
It lets us know we're alive
edwin mccain - america street
Rubber on my tires making contact with the road
Sign on the streetpost tells me which way I should go
Riding down America Street funny that it's one way
Riding down from uptown to where the buildings are broken down indecay
America Street it's right nearby
Land of the free and the brave
If we can't work and make some change
There won't be much of this land left to save
It's a classic case of misdirection and slight of hand
We watch while our deficit grows
What a shame that we can't teach our kids to read
Makes you wonder where all the tax money goes
Well America Street it's right nearby
Land of the free and the brave
And if we can't work and make some change
There won't be much of this land left to save
Won't be much to save
Excuse me sir pardon me can you spare some change
Because it's cold and I live outside
A thoughtful search into my pockets finds enough so he canrocket
Right up to the bar and enjoy his lie
America Street it's right nearby
Land of the free and the brave
And if we can't work and make some change
There won't be much of this land left to save
Won't be much to save...
edwin mccain - anything good about
Rolled in last night
To the dawn, the porch, and both our floodlights
No excuse
But we were having such a good time
Why, oh why
Can't I just walk the straight and narrow
So ashamed But I'll do it all again tomorrow
Maybe you're the only one that sees
Anything good about me
Anything good about me
I found a friend
To get the number just to call you
Line was jammed I tried and tried, but could not get through
All these calls
To warn you of my scoundrel heart
But these walls
And still they can't keep us apart
Chorus
And I promise to take care
And love you
If you promise to keep seeing
Anything good about me
And I swear sometimes
There's asphalt running through my veins
And let me go
And never ever pull my reins
And I'll return
With cuts and bruises scarred but smarter
Lick my wounds
And try again but twice as hard
Chorus
edwin mccain - babylon
Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up
I'm a drowning man for the third time
twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
preparing my body for a burial at sea
So put your tongue in my ear
through this veil of tears
whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong?
the world, the world she's a Babylon
Coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter
waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
the pride of man is so contentious
This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
I'm bailing ice water up to my neck
Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
you might say he learned a healthy respect
edwin mccain - beautiful day
Well I'm falling over backwards
and I'm drowning in my sleep,
I can't feel the ground,
there's only sky beneath my feet,
In a television moment
I come crashing to the ground,
Gasoline explosion
but you never heard a sound,
Maybe I'm calm, maybe I'm jaded,
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded,
And maybe I should see another way,
Like it's the end of a beautiful day,
She bloodied up her wingtips
as she's cleaning up the bar,
The beauty of an angel
but it didn't take her far,
She be crying in the corner
if she wasn't far too proud,
Hear the ringing of this failure
and it's getting awfully loud,
Maybe she's calm, maybe she's jaded,
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded,
And maybe she should see another way,
Like it's the end of her beautiful day,
There's some explaining to do
'cause the fairy tale lied,
I think it's sad but cruel
but it's here to stay,
It's just real life anyway,
Maybe we're gone, maybe we've faded,
Maybe the whole thing was just jaded,
Maybe we should see another way,
Like it's the end of a beautiful day.
edwin mccain - beautiful life
Another beautiful morning under stars and bars
And F series pickups and rusted out cars
And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar
Just to have a peek...
And the beer soaked angels spread their wings
And dream of twenties and diamonds and things
And somehow that might ease the sting
Of the company they keep
Yeah...
And the vets still talk about the Tet offensive
And the freshmen boys all look so pensive
Because living large is so expensive
Hope daddy fueled the jet...
And we'll all fly out to the Hard Rock casino
And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos
And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino
Is that the only car he could get?
It's a beautiful life
It's just as advertised
It's all for one low price
Just read the fine print, and you'll be content
With your beautiful life
And record smoothies say "What a sound"
You're the greatest thing we've found
But you're gonna have to lose a few pounds
We're gonna put you on TV
And don't think our place is so swank
Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank
That's exactly why his last record tanked
And let that be a lesson to me
Chorus
And all our churches glow
Communion wafers trash TV shows
Say "Hey, at least you don't have this strife"
'Cause you'll be warm and safe
In your beautiful life
Yeah...
And it's hard to tell what's true compassion
When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion
And the tabloids all rush to cash in on what we should believe
And I hope I never see the day
When there's nothing left on the planet left to save
And oxygen is the designer crusade
As we all fight to breathe...
Chorus
edwin mccain - bitter chill
Sweet love is keeping a very close score
She's cheated death more than one time
The tears roll down her face and on to the floor
The psychic's been reading her mind
Women with secrets men with their rage
The lines run deeper than words on the page
Breeze through the window, it turns bitter chill
Pretend we don't feel it, lie here real still
Whispered in visions of new earth shine
We volunteer to do nothing again
The world falls around us all we can do is whine
Living out the future of original sin
Women with secrets men with their rage
The lines run deeper than actors on the stage
Breeze through the mountains turns bitter chill
Pretend we don't feel it, lie here real still
Well now follow me to the water
Dive right through the film
Swim in the madness, fulfill every whim
Why worry about tomorrow that you'll never see
Why talk about the children that will never be
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our monstrosities
No more stories of the Quick and the Dead
The asphalt will burn with our liabilities
edwin mccain - black and blue
Showed up in a sleeve of tattoos
high definition broadcast of attitude
it's like she wants me to know she's got nothing left to lose
me too
little bag of junk gets her high
keeps her from thinking bout the shadows in her mind
she likes me
she knows i won't ask her why she cries
let me fall down
you can fall too
we'll call us banged up black and blue
let me find out what happened to you
wakin' up banged up black and blue
sometimes it's the struggle that makes it good
i woudlnt' judge ya even if i could
there's no magic in the line
it's misunderstood
you could
you would
let me fall down
you can fall too
we'll call us banged up black and blue
let me find out what happened to you
wakin' up banged up black and blue
let me fall down
you can fall too
we'll call us banged up black and blue
let me find out what happened to you
wakin' up banged up black and blue
banged up black and blue
banged up black and blue
edwin mccain - broke down hearted wonderland
There used to be laughter and wide-eyes
Yellow balloons taking to the skies
Life on the high wire can only come down
And I landed in a ghost town...
Shut the gates and lost the keys
There were just too many memories
And those footprints in the sand
Oh my broke down hearted wonderland...
And you were a dreamer who no-one could see
A ring of fire when you looked at me
You swear you could hear the ferris wheel song
And a mile of lights trying to figure on...
All and soon i heard them too
And realised that only you could ever understand
My broke down hearted wonderland
The moment that you took my hand
You made me feel like the young daring man
Broke down hearted wonderland...
Welcome home to the town you used to be
And bring your laughter your wide-eyes
And give it free to
My broke down hearted wonderland
The moment that you took my hand
You made me feel like the daring young man
The broke down hearted wonderland
Broke down hearted
Oh broke down hearted
Oh broke down hearted
Broke down hearted wonderland...
edwin mccain - can i get a witness
Listen everybody,
especially you girls
Is it right to be
left alone
While the one you love
is never home?
Well,
I love too hard
All my friends sometimes say
I believe, I believe
That a woman should be
loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see her
treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere
tell her it's unfair
Let me hear you, baby
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)
Is it right to be
treated so bad
When you've given
everything you had?
Even tossing in my sleep
'Cause I haven't seen
my baby all week
Now, you chicks, you do agree
That this ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me hear you say
(Yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Up early in the morning
With her on my mind
Just to find out
All night, baby,
I've been crying
But I believe,
I believe
That a woman
is a man's best friend
I'm gonna stick
by her until the very end
But she causes
so much misery
I forgot how
it's supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere,
tell her it's unfair
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know what
I'm talking about
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)
Everybody knows,
especially you girls
Love can be so sad
But I have a love
that's twice as bad
Now, you chicks, you do agree
That this ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me hear you say
(Yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now, you chicks, you do agree
That this ain't the way
love's supposed to be
Let me hear you say
(Yeah, yeah)
Say, yeah, yeah, listen
(Yeah, yeah)
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
(Can I get a witness?)
Can I get a witness?
Witness, witness
(Can I get a witness?)
edwin mccain - cleveland park
Pacing gently, summer wind
The king stares softly to the sky
Will he ever see his home again
Deep from his heart he starts to cry
As his songs hit the air and young hearts are awake
Soon they join in the chorus sharing all his ache
There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park
And the high school kids ignore it
They have their own tune
They're just showing off the speakers in their ride
I know what I'm sayin'
I grew up too soon
And youth goes hand in hand with foolish pride
As their song hits the air and young hearts start to break
The lions join in the chorus sharing all their ache
There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park
In Cleveland Park trees breathe a sigh of all the summers gone
Skeletons in wintertime, they sing the lions song
There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park
edwin mccain - couldn t love you more
After the big parade, when all the limelight fades
I'll be the one to kiss your eyes
The roar fades in the air like hope from a lover's prayer
The light from my heart begins to rise
[Chorus:]
And they said I couldn't love you and that it would never last
He's just a crazy boy just look at his past
And they said I couldn't love you but that was just a lie
I couldn't love you more if I tried
I was the lucky one, the one having all the fun
Running into the sun, the party never ends
You waited there for me so loving and patiently
Shutting out sad words from your friends
[Chorus]
I don't own any armor and I might not be that brave
You might be the one I rescue but I'll be the one you save
[Chorus]
