A PRETTY GOOD RUN
(Kern/Ratts)
Well these days were not half bad
They only made me halfway sad
And I've got half a mind to tell you it's ok
But the bus is pulling out
So I suppose I’ll be en-route
Before the sun comes up on your pretty good day
It only took us half a lifetime
to feel pretty far away
So I’m texting you to say…
It was a pretty good run
It was a pretty good ride
You looked pretty good with the sun sparkling in your eyes
And I’m completely dismayed
Pretty sorry to say
It was a pretty good run baby
I miss you already
Well we shared some pretty good times
And we shared some pretty similar pain
I’ve got a pretty good mind to hold tightly to your pretty frame
I’m more than halfway at a loss
At how this world makes fools of us
With every roadblock we construct in our way
So Im calling you to tell you
if I’ve nothing else to say
I’m so glad I saw your face
It was a pretty good run
It was a pretty good ride
You looked pretty good with the sun sparkling in your eyes
And I’m completely dismayed
Pretty sorry to say
It was a pretty good run baby
I'll miss you always
Was it our mistakes
or a mix of fate and taking us for granted
That found me on a west bound greyhound
letting go of you?
It was a pretty good run
It was a pretty good ride
You looked pretty good with the sun sparkling in your eyes
And I’m completely dismayed
Pretty sorry to say
It was a pretty good run baby
I’ll miss you always
I'll miss you always

WHAT IF?
words & music by John Ratts & Eric Kern, intro by Brock Harris
Who can say what the future holds
No one can
No one knows
I couldn’t tell you if our time will come
Or what tomorrow brings for anyone
I’ll turn the tables
Hand it back to you
Can you tell me what dreams might come true
If you could look into a crystal ball
Read the tea leaves and then tell us all
What if, What if
I found you
and you wanted me
And I wanted you
And we were meant to be
What if I could lift the veil and see
Our destiny
Throw the bones
Read my palm
Please tell me
Tell me more than just wait and see
Wishing wells behind hidden doors
Fortune tellers know I’m wishing for
What if, What if
I found you
and you wanted me
And I wanted you
And we were meant to be
What if I could lift the veil and see
Our destiny

I FEEL GREAT
(Kern, Burton, Ratts)
we made a promise long ago
we would never wind up strangers
(we should be) lying in love's afterglow
not all swept up in life's changes
now that we've locked it all away
was it not enough to fall apart?
you broke my heartbreak
now that we've finally turned the page
would you please just go away
i've got nothing left to say
it's over and it's okay
another monday afternoon
another hour for feeling grateful
another waxing gibbous moon
to refortify the faithful
now that we've locked it all away
was it not enough to fall apart?
you broke my heartbreak
now that we've finally turned the page
would you please just go away
i've got nothing else to say
it's over and i feel great
you don't have to listen to me sing this song
you don't have to be my friend
you don't have to tell me anything at all
baby, this is the end
now that we've locked it all away
was it not enough to fall apart?
you broke my heartbreak
now that we've finally turned the page
would you please just go away
i've got one last thing to say
it's over and i feel great
it's ok, i feel great
i feel great

I'll Be Waiting For You

I'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU
(Ratts, Kern)
Lizzie, you're so pretty that i'm standing on a corner
waiting on a wish for some weather made to order
staring at the clouds hanging in a clear blue sky
i don't wonder why i'm sure everyone knows
why love comes and goes whenever you walk by
a little rain is good to wake up people that are sleeping
i will wait for you and a promise is for keeping
all i really need is just the chance to never say goodbye
i do wonder if you'll be walking my way
and what would you say to a shared moment with me
i'll be waiting for you when the rain comes down
i'll be waiting for you when the sun comes out
blue skies or black, umbrella in my hand
i'll hang around like the moon
like an empty vase next to flowers in bloom
i'll be waiting for you
standing on the sidewalk pulling petals 'til you get here
umbrellas are for sharing we can squeeze in tight together
looking up i can't see any white in a clear blue sky
still i know soon youre going to drift into view
with clouds forming on cue, and i'll be waiting for you
i'll be waiting for you when the rain comes down
i'll be waiting for you when the sun comes out
blue skies or black, umbrella in my hand
i'll hang around like the moon
like an empty vase next to flowers in bloom
i'll be waiting for you

I Can't Walk Away

I CAN'T WALK AWAY
(Kern, Ratts)
Man, it's really dark tonight
there are clouds in every passerby
there's no cold like winter rain
i feel a chill in everything
and i can't hold out that long when everything is gone
it doesn't take a cyclone
and i wonder how i came so far to feel so lame
i could live or check out any day
but i can't walk away
from this pointless joke i choke on everyday
i'm too far gone, just let me lay
so you missed the boat again
waiting for what might have been
did it cost you everything
to be hoping and imagining?
and she never will compare to castles in the air
to your residential deep domestic nightmare
and i couldn't help but hear you've begun to disappear
man, we all could use a way right out of here...
and i can't walk away
from this losing game the cards are stacked to play
it's "just your luck" i heard her say
no i can't walk away
from this sinking ship i watched you sail away
i'm too far gone, just let me lay...

I Got A Name
03:17
|
|

Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I got a name, I got a name
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I got a name, I got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Like the north wind whistling down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
And I'm gonna go there free
Like the fool I am and I'll always be
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
They can change their minds but they can't change me
I've got a dream, I've got a dream
Well, I know I can share it if you want me to
If you're going my way, I'll go with you
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by
