I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , I keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah

Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did
Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin on

(solo)

Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh
Everyday I wake a little bit higher
Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah
(repeat chorus)

. . .


Well if you're ever in a tight spot,
and all the things around you are gettin' hot,
come to me and I can cool you off.
And if you ever get yourself in a jam,
and if you ever feel you need to find a man
call my number and, darling, you found one

But I know now, it can never work out
the way I really wished that it would.
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all

And the walls get a little closer,
and my throat gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all

If you got the feeling it ain't right tonight
And if the fire at home ain't as hot as you like
I've got a fire that's burning for you.
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life,
I'll come a-runnin' and show you the world.

. . .


Now there's nothing left to do
but to lay my head down for sleeping
I'm weak with exhaustion and the lover's blues
and I still can't forget those weeks I had with you

But I guess it was only a summer love
Nothing too serious and nothing to last
I feel like a fool to be longing for that lyin' summer love

Once we both loved just a bit too hard
for deep down we both knew it was dyin'
And we both talked just a little about forever
but we both knew we were doing some lyin'.

Now the snow falls, freezing my hurt for you
but some nights I feel it's still there.
I've come back now to the life I've known before you
but I doesn't have the same old meaning.

. . .


You touched me. You took me away.
You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay.
But now I know what you were trying to say.
I can understand that I'm not the only one.
But I believe our time is gonna come.

I dream of you through every night,
But you're not risin' with me, so I don't wanna see the light.
Even if you can't come over, and I hoping that you might
'Cause when you're not here nothing's any fun.
But I believe our time is gonna come.

I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna come
I believe our time is gonna
I believe our time is gonna come

. . .


Another day in the city
Another dancer to the music
But lately, all the music sounds so strange
Well some songs have no meaning
And some songs try to hard
Tryin to say it all
And end up saying nothin

Well maybe the words ring true
What's right for them
Maybe wrong for you
So come out of the jungle
Of another man's dreams
And if you come to a clearing
As lonely as it seems
It's never too late to breakaway
To Breakaway

Another day lost in livin
And another same old beginning
And knowing where and why we went wrong
Someone says I've changed
And someone says that I've remained
In the same place
For maybe just a little too long

(chorus) (piano solo) (chorus)

Flying Turkey Trot

[No lyrics]

. . .


It's all on my shoulders
And it was gettin harder to bear
Each day I was gettin older
And I was startin to show the wear
Tonight I'm gonna get it all
Gonna lay my work on the shelf?

Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you
Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you It was a hard run this time momma
And it ain't ever gonna get easier
I'm searchin through my memories
And I can't remember of a year?
But tonight I'm gonna get it all
Gonna lay my work on the shelf

Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you (2x)
(solo)
Tonight, tonight, I'm comin home to you (4x)

. . .


Cool as the water melting from the winter snows
You are the island I've been looking for
I don't know where you come from
But I can feel you comin on
You're a storm inside my soul
That's ragin out of control

Call the wind out
Call out the thunder
Oh lightning, only you can will the weather
I said come on
Won't ya come on?
Lightning you're mine
Tonight, tonight
You caught me while I was sleepin
Restin from a heavy run
I saw you in your evening gown
You were lighting up the sky
No matter what tomorrow brings
Lightning, your mine tonight
Woah, lightning your mine tonight

Crack the horizon
Only you can split the night
Then comes your mother cloud to take you away
Another wind will dry me
And the sun will make me warm
But to me my life will always be
The calm before the storm

(chorus)
(solo)
