Verse
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination /
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man /
For whatever that means
Pre-chorus
And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out /
What's in my head And I, I am feeling a little peculiar /
And so I wake in the morning And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high /
And I scream from the top of my lungs "What's going on?"
Chorus
And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey" “Hey-ey-ey I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
Verse
And I try,
oh my God do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray,
oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day For a revolution
Pre-chorus
Chorus
And I say, "Hey-ey-ey-ey" “Hey-ey-ey I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

[Verse 1]
Turn me on turn me off then you turn me back on by the weekend
And you won't say the words that I want but you flirt when you're drinkin'
I see those bubbles pop up like you're texting then they disappear
Lets cut through the shit then let's get to what we're doing here
[Chorus]
Are we just a backseat, tryna get it while we can
Are we names in a tattoo, or just a number on a hand
Are we last call kissing or will
we be reminiscing with each other for the next forty years
Are we written in the stars, baby, or are we written in the sand
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I want you to want me to take you back home to my mama
Put my name on your lips call me yours and forget all this drama
Your makeup is next to my toothbrush but you never put it away on the shelf
I'm asking you baby cuz I'm tired of asking myself
[Chorus]
Are we just a backseat, tryna get it while we can
Are we names in a tattoo, or just a number on a hand
Are we-last call kissing, are we dancing in the kitchen,
baby tell me what it is or what it isn't?
Are we written in the stars, baby, or are we written in the sand
[Chorus]
Are we just a backseat, tryna get it while we can
Are we names in a tattoo, or just a number on a hand
Are we last call kissing or will
we be reminiscing with each other for the next forty years
Are we written in the stars, baby, or are we written in the sand
Verse 1: Am D G Em
You're all alone at a party, you wanna dance with somebody
But you ain't got a clue how to ask
You and your girl had a fight and now she's sayin' goodbye
She ran upstairs and packed her bags
[Pre-Chorus]
It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation /
Ain't gotta listen to me, but all I'm sayin'
[Chorus]
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain, it can't wash away
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less grey
Oh, you could be lonely or heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before
Turn that frown into a smile real quick
There ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Verse 2:
You're on a lake an you're fishing It's hot and all that you're getting
is a little nibble here and there
You're sitting watching your team losing that championship ring
and it's feeling like life ain't fair
Pre Chorus:
It could be rainin' on your perfect vacation
You could be stressed about your work situation
Ain't gotta save it for a special occasion
Last Chorus:
Ain't nothing that a beer can't fix
Ain't no pain, it can't wash away, no
From the moment that it hits your lips
Makes those clouds look a little less grey
Oh, you could be lonely heartbroken
Or hungover from the night before

Turn that frown into a smile real quick (so quick)

You and me, and a bottle of wine
To hold you tonight (oh)
Well we know I'm going away
And how I wish - I wish it weren't so
So take this wine and drink with me
And let's delay our misery
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
Save tonight and fight the break of dawn
Come tomorrow - tomorrow I'll be gone
There's a log on the fire
And it burns like me for you
Tomorrow comes with one desire
To take me away (ohh it's true)
It ain't easy to say good-bye
Darlin' please, don't start to cry
'Cause girl you know I've got to go (oh)
And Lord I wish it wasn't so

Pre Chorus:
Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold On just doing what we're told
I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own
Verse 1:
Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, no, no, no
Think it's funny, but honey, can't run this show on your own
I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take
I'll show you how a real queen behaves, oh
Pre Chorus:
No damsel in distress, don't need to save me
Once I start breathin' fire, you can't tame me
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours
Chorus:
Verse 2:
Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head
Gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget, oh-oh, oh

Of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
Verse 1:
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Pre Chorus:
Everybody hurts sometimesEverybody hurts someday, ayy ayy

Verse 1:
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead, long live the king
One minute, I held the key Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus 1:
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
Verse 2:
It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh, who would ever want to be king?
Chorus 2:
Verse 1:
Oh, once upon a midnight eerie I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies,
yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Well, what will be with you and me I still can see things hopefully
Chorus:
But you Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down
Verse 2:
Shake me and my confidence About a great many things
But I've been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch",
hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Tra la la la la bombardier, this is the pilot speaking
I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay, so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
Chorus:
Verse: Am G
I don't want you all night I want to love you four days /
I wanna lay in your arms when the sun comes up /
I wanna stay in the bed I don't want to get up /
I want a love marathon I don't want it to stop /
Every minute so far I cannot get enough

We can go slow as slow as you want / I got all the time in the world, and I do not give up

When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop
Chorus: I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me, why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead?
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can
I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need, and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

Well you can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes when I am gone
Or you can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
You can tell my arms go back to the farm
Or you can tell my feet to hit the floor
Or you can tell my lips to tell my fingertips
They won't be reaching out for you no more
Chorus:
Don't tell my heart my achy breaky heart
I just don't think he'd understand
And if you tell my heart my achy breaky heart
He might blow up and kill this man
You can tell your ma I moved to Arkansas
Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg
Or tell your brother Cliff whos fist can tell my lip
He never really liked me anyway
Or tell your aunt Louise tell anything you please
Myself already knows I'm not ok
Or you can tell my eye to watch out for my mind
It might be walkin' out on me today

Never let it ruffle up your feathers, angel
Yeah, I'm down for life, you got me wrapped around your finger

See forever when I see your face

Verse 1: A few days before he turned 80
He was sittin' out back in a rocker
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Chorus: Buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard all grow up"
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt
Verse 2: Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it's all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out
Chorus
Yeah, I was just hangin' out
Some little west coast town
Found a bar out by the sand
So I made my way in
First thing that caught my eye
Like nothin' I ever seen
Sunburned auburn hair
A California dream
Yeah, she was shakin' them hips
To some old Motown song
I couldn't say a thing
So I sang along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin'
Yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
So I just hung around
This little west coast town
I dropped by every night
I stayed 'til closin' time
My little mystery
That girl is killin' me
So I put on a song
Just to sing along
She was a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, she's movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind)
I've gotta know her name, and I got to see her again
She's got me wonderin', yeah, I'm just wonderin'
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
Where she at, where she at, where she at tonight?
She's got me mesmerized
She's all I'm thinkin' 'bout
All I think about, think about, think about
So I'm right here, right now
Hummin' this little song
If I could say a thing
I'd want you to know
You were a heartache on the dance floor
(Heartache on the dance floor)
Yeah, you're movin' through my mind
(Movin' through my mind) oh
I got to know your name, I got to see you again
And if you're listenin', listenin', listenin'
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Where you at, where you at, where you at tonight?
Girl, I'm hangin' 'round this little town, yeah

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night
[Will.I.am:]
Woo-hoo
