Crystal Bowersox Album

Whatever happened... Oh to good ol' Rock n Roll
Whatever became of... M' Rhythm n Blues n Soul
I'll do what it takes now... cause I just wanna make your mind feel good
(Cause) the **** that they play now... Oh it just don't feel like it should

So open your heart
Open your mind
Turn down the hate
Turn up the kind
Give me some shelter
Show me some love
Let's get together (cause)
One is not enough

Chorus:
If you wanna sing a song ya' just sing it
We ain't writin for the radio
You wanna bring a friend you just bring 'em
Then we can sing it in stereo
You wanna sing a song
sing a song
sing a song Ooh just sing it
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah

I know I see kindness... m' when I look into your eyes
Why you try to hide it... oh Honey just let your love light shine
Get back to the roots now... of these rhythm and harmonies
and just love love love love love love!

Chorus
Chorus

There's something happening here
What it is, ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people should speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, down

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will surely creep
Well, it starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We gotta stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Now stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Now stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down, yeah
What's going down, down, down, down
What's going down
I think it's time we stopped

I'm halfway to crazy
Not far from sane
Fuckin' sick and tired of all your games
All I ever wanted was you to take care of me

Honor thy mother
And father too
But I know there ain't no way in hell
That God mentioned you
All I ever wanted was you to care for me

And now I'm stuck in this hotel room
Your grandson and me
Tomorrow we're gonna find out our destiny
All I ever wanted was you to be there for me
All I ever needed was you to be here for me

This time is the last time you're gonna see
us around
Oh, this was your last chance
To prove you wouldn't let me down
So go on, get gone
And get away from here
All alone is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your years
No farmer's daughter anymore
Mommy dear

Remember back in high school
My brothers and me
Willie put his head through the door
To find clarity
You'd come home with bourbon breath
Jack in the air
And when you broke my bones
I told the school I fell down the stairs
All I ever wanted was you to be there for me
Oh, and all I ever needed
Was you to be here for me

This time is the last time you're gonna see
us around
Oh, this was your last chance
To prove you wouldn't let me down
So go on, get gone
And get away from here
All alone is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your years
No farmer's daughter anymore
I ain't no farmer's daughter anymore
No farmer's daughter anymore
Mommy dear

Living life from day to day
And reading books from page to page,
I know life is just my stage
And I wish I could, I said I would,
I know I should do something good
And my God, I fear I'm shedding tears,
The colors change from year to year
Around here

And I said
How do I get to Heaven from here,
I wanna know
How do I get to Heaven from here

Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked,
My watch is stopped,
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
Well, I sure hope
St. Peter's gonna let me in Holy Toledo...

Now I've said too much, I'm losing touch
Step on the gas and off the clutch
Oh, I'm gonna leave Toledo,
Have no fear and time goes slow
But I'm shifting gears

And I said
How do I get to Heaven from here,
And I wanna know
How do I get to Heaven from here

Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked,
My watch is stopped,
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
Well, I sure hope
St. Peter's gonna let me in Holy Toledo...

Said how do I get to Heaven from here,
And I wanna know how in the hell
Am I gonna to Heaven from here

Holy Toledo, where does the time go
My dreads are locked,
My watch is stopped,
My glass are full, my gun is half-cocked
How do I redeem my sins
I sure hope St. Peter's gonna let me in...

Said how do I get to Heaven from here...

I've got something that I must confess,
A little high ..is raising in my chest,
But I got to get used to this I guess,
'cause your love is moving me.
I don't know how I but I ..,
Like a kid …in a nursery school,
You slept me up my feet and then I felt for you,
You don't know it's true.

Chorus:
Now that I know that lonely won't come around,
No, no, no, lonely won't come around,
Since I make a ..,
Lonely won't come around, lonely won't come around,
If …

I felt like a flame jumped out the glass,
..talking in the past,
So let's switch time and make the sunshine last,
Wherever you and me,

Without songs that are gonna be,
Sing it, sing it:
I feel like a little child,
My hands of ..will running wild,
And I'm crying ..at the crowd.

Chorus:
And now that I know that lonely won't come around,
No, no, no, lonely won't come around,
Since I make my ..,
Lonely won't come around, lonely won't come around.

Oeo, ooo, oeeoo, oh oh oh

[Chorus:]
Lonely won't come around, ohh, lonely won't come around,
Since I make my ..,
Lonely won't come around, lonely won't come around, yeahhh, mmmm.

Sixteen, you and me, never needed anything,
Summer breeze, running free, felt like we had everything
Suitcase full of dreams you said you'd run away with me,
But instead you let me leave.
No, I can't, I can't forget how it felt the end,
Love and believing, this feeling I never had!

Chorus:
So I just hold on to the memories,
Cause if I can't have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
Moved onto the bigger things
Whatever we go through we still gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!
Still we gotta hold on to something!

Shoe box, broken dreams, sitting on?bonet beach?
Cause I miss home, I'm here alone,
Wishing you were here with me,
And I can't breathe, these city streets,
They feel like their closing in on me,
I can't believe you let me leave.
No, I can't, and I can't forget how it felt the end,
Love and believing, this feeling will never end!

Chorus:
So I just hold on to the memories,
Cause if I can't have you,
Then I gotta hold on to something.
Moved onto the bigger things
Whatever we go through we still gotta hold on to something

Now we can never go back!

Ain't got no plans...No place to go
Where I stop...Nobody knows
I'm singing something to myself
Wishing I was somewhere else

You ain't gotta go..tell me my friend
Cuz I don't know if I'll be back again
But if you want...Wait all day
Come on come on come out and play
But I...I'm on the run
And I'm just looking...to have me some fun

And I...I don't need nobody
Nobody to hold me down

Gotta get myself away from this town
And I...I don't want nobody..yeah..to hold me back
So don't you hold me back boy
No

And I ain't no superstitious cajun queen
And I'm not trying to be no new James Dean
Ain't looking for a place to lay my head
Except a beach a bench or a flower bed

And now don't you fall in love with me
Cuz I got to got to be free
But if you want...Wait all day
Come on come on come out and play
But I...I'm on the run
And I'm just looking...to have me some fun
Yeah oh oh oh

I...and I don't need nobody..no..hold me down
I gotta get myself away from this town
I...I don't want nobody..yeah..to hold me back
So don't you hold be back boy
No
I'm gonna take it slow

Just keepin' on listenin' to the radio
I'm all dressed up...No place to go
Well I got my halo...I got my gun
Got my guitar...I got the sun
If it wasn't for the devil horns on my head
Love you boy 'til I'm dead
Yeah

Well I...I'm on the run
And I'm just looking...to have me some fun
Yeah oh oh oh

I...I don't need nobody..no..hold me down
Gotta get myself away from this town
I...I don't want nobody yeah...to hold me back

So don't you hold me back
Don't you hold me back baby
No I said don't you hold me back

There ain't no reason for me to hang around this town no more.
Gonna pack it up, move on out, and start searchin' for the shore.
Sell my life as I know it to anyone with land to buy...
'cause it ain't worth much to me to stay here and sit around and cry.
And if you think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone..
speak now darlin' or you will never know.

Well I don't care if you like it 'cause honey this is not your life.
I will never be held prisoner, I will never be your wife.
Learned that friends are overrated and lovers come and go..
and if all you do is dream about it then you've got nothin' to show.
But if you think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone:
speak now darlin' or you will never know.

'Cause once the engine starts turnin' and the wheels they hit the road..
I ain't ever comin' back to this town called Chicago.
Oh, I'm leavin' it all behind me; there ain't no place that I call home.
Well I'm tearin' this heart right off of my sleeve and I'm turnin' it into stone.
Well I think I'm gonna miss you when I'm gone.
Oh, so kiss me once, kiss me twice..
maybe I'll stay for just one more night.
And honey, say what you feel; please mean what you say..
I wanna hold onto you for just one more day.
But if you think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone..
speak now darlin' or you will never know

Baby don't buy me flowers
Don't buy me sweets
Don't get me useless little things
They won't make me complete
I don't want your money honey
I know it's kind of funny
I just need your touch
Just to know that your sweet love is ….mine

Chorus

Mine all mine
Baby you are mine all mine
Cause I am your food
And you are the lion
Just in time
You came to my life
.. I'm fine
Nothing else will do
Baby are you mine all mine


Don't buy me diamonds
Don't buy me pearls
Don't try to shut ..
Don't promise me the world
Cause I don't care how grey is your hair
It will be just fine
I just need to know
That your sweet love
Is mine all mine

Chorus

Please play your guitar
Sing me a song
I don't care if … out there
If the words are all wrong
I just wanna lye and listen
Give you my kisses
Cause I will be gone
I'll fine know
That you are mine all mine

Chorus

I wanna be your mason baby,
I wanna build a life with you
I wanna be your mason baby,
I wanna build a life with you

I wanna take all this love I'm feeling and
know that it's stronger than stealing you
I wanna be your mason baby,
I wanna build a life with you
I wanna be your mason baby,
I wanna build a life with you
I wanna take all the loving things you say and....claiming you

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Bridges burn and buildings fall and time can tear down walls
leaving you begging on your knees
time may steal your human ways
leave lines upon your face,
leave you drifting out to sea
but you will always have a hold me

I wanna be your mason baby,
I wanna build a life with you
I wanna be your mason baby, I
wanna build a life with you
I want to drink you up like a cool spring water
and lay holy bricks and mortar with you
I want to drink you up like a cool spring water
and lay holy bricks and mortar with you

I wanna be your mason baby,
I wanna build a life with you
