Track Name: Going Round
Going Round

I've been down this road a thousand times
never set foot on the ground
I wonder where this road is gonna take me
maybe in or out of town

Maybe that's all I ever wanted
Maybe it's all I ever need

I've been going round
I've been going round
in my head
I've been going round
with the words you said

Now just as you get around the corner
it all looks the same
you think you've got it all figured out
but you're back where you began

Maybe thats all you ever wanted
Maybe its all we'll ever need

I keep going round
I keep going round
in my head
I keep going round
with the words you said

My indifference is my disease
and movement is the only remedy

I can see the winds been a blowin
leaves off the tree
they're trading in the air for the soil
and I just want to believe

Maybe that's all they ever wanted
Maybe it's all we ever need

I keep going round
I keep going round
in my head
I keep going round
with the words you said
Track Name: Once In A While
Once in A While

Once in a while I see your face
across a crowded room someplace
and my heart just skips a beat
I want to fall down at your feet
tell you exactly how I feel
let you know my love for you is real

once in a while
once in a while

sometimes I wonder what you see
do you ever notice me
If I were standing right there
would you even care

and maybe today I'll find a way
to overcome my hesitation
open up my mouth
let the words fall out
without any explanation

once in a while
once in a while
once in a while

If you could read between the lines
I know that I could make you mine
I know I could make you mine
I know I could make you mine

and maybe tonight I could decide
to overcome my expectations
look into your eyes
drop my disguise
use my imagination

once in a while
once in a while
once in a while

Once in a while I see your face
across a crowded room someplace
Track Name: Slipstream
Slipstream

was it my imagination
or did you leave me little clues
when you walked out in your pajamas
started making your own rules

now I'm tumbling in your slipstream
hoping you won't go too far
if only things were different then
they wouldn't be the way they are

I dream about you baby
how you walked away too soon
I may be a distant memory
but you're still living in my living room

now I'm tumbling in your slipstream
hoping you won't go too far
if only things were different then
they wouldn't be the way they are
Track Name: Feeling That Way Too
Feeling That Way Too

The sun goes down over the memphis skyline
the mississippi moves like a timeless lifeline
beneath the crimson and the blues
something beautiful
something new

tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too

you say you're not ready to swim just yet
but baby can we get our feet wet
I know we've both been here before
but I'm not willing to be lonely anymore

tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too

who knows where this leads to
as long as I can be with you
as long as I can be with you

I know we've both been here before
but I'm not willing to be lonely anymore

tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too

I won't miss the nights alone
I won't miss the silence of the telephone
when it don't ring
I won't miss the nights alone
I won't miss the silence of the telephone
oh no
are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too
tell me are you feeling that way too
Track Name: Virginia
Virginia

She made her mind up
packed her things and ran
left the best thing she had in life
singing catch me if you can

the world just keeps on spinning
no matter that you leave
you've cried wolf so many times before
what's a man to believe

oh Virginia you drive me crazy
oh Virginia you make me weak
oh Virginia you make me lazy
I hope you find what you seek

In a blue citation she's hauling ass
she's heading out of town
there goes a green eyed angel behind the wheel
who turned my insides out
I won't beg that she return
yet it's even money still
that if she does she'll look me up
until she gets her fill

oh Virginia you drive me crazy
oh Virginia you make me weak
oh Virginia you make me lazy
I hope you find what you seek

So many people get what they need
staying in one place
while other folks fight back the urge
of becoming a familiar face

like Virginia, you drive me crazy
oh Virginia you make me weak
oh Virginia you make me lazy
I hope you find what you seek
I hope you find what you seek
Oh Virginia
Track Name: Tossing and Turning
Tossing and Turning

Tossing and Turning burning the candle at both ends
filling the cracks in the void with my family and my good friends
my body has taken a toll my mind fights to stay in control
as the spirit and this big world are whispering let it go

There's not enough time in one life to get it all done
so make up your mind choose a path and break off in a full run
if one day you find yourself there you may find that you don't even care
as the spirit and your big world are whispering let it go

I've held on as long as I can
I've reached the end
I've held on as long as I can
I've reached the end

So I let it all out and gave a big shout out to the heavens
I gave up your ghost and started making the most of what I've been given
now I breathe a bit deeper each day as I find myself looking away
from the big world as my spirit is whispering let it go
from the big world as my spirit is whispering let it go
from the big world as my spirit is whispering let it go
Track Name: No Ordinary Girl
No Ordinary Girl

She walks in
to the corner bar
slips her money in the jukebox
and plays big star
and we dance
as the music starts
she knows what she wants
she's already got my heart

she's no ordinary girl
no ordinary girl

Makers mark or top shelf gin
play your cards right she might let you in
with a smile that's so explosive
penetrating, deeper motives

she's no ordinary girl
no ordinary girl

I met the captain's daughter
before the ship went down
She was dancin' on the water
In her Mother's wedding gown
She reached out and took my hand
And drew me to her side
If you were thinkin' straight she said
You would take me for your bride

She walks in to the corner bar
through the neon haze she's a shooting star

she's no ordinary girl
no ordinary girl
Track Name: Waiting For The Real Thing
Waiting for the Real Thing

I'm the King of my Suitcase
full of t-shirts and blue jeans
the ink on my fingers
and a story to tell

there's a home in the heartland
I'm desperately missing
my boots get so restless
I'm leaving again

I've been waiting all my life
I'm waiting for the real thing
I'm waiting for the real thing
waiting for the real thing

I've been searching for something
and someone to see
down on 4th and broadway
with a story to tell
that's me

I've been waiting all my life
I'm waiting for the real thing
I'm waiting for the real thing
waiting for the real thing
I'm waiting for the real thing

When you've got nothing
you've still got something
When you've got nothing to give

I'm the King of my Suitcase
full of t-shirts and blue jeans
with ink on my fingers
and a story to tell

I've been waiting all my life
I'm waiting for the real thing
I'm waiting for the real thing
waiting for the real thing
I'm waiting for the real thing
Track Name: Everybody's Hungry
Everybody's Hungry

Everybody's hungry for something
Everybody's hungry for something
Everybody's hungry

You try to quench your thirst with a drink
but it's deeper than you might think
as you try to swim and you sink
so hungry

you can't deny that it's real
you've got a whole that you can't fill
no matter how you try you never will
cease to be hungry

you ask the father to forgive your sins
but we've all been dealt this hand that nobody wins
our only choice is to let love in
and still we are hungry

you try to stuff your pockets so full
and hope to gain some control
as you lose the path to your soul
when you get so hungry

you can't deny that it's real
you've got a whole that you can't fill
no matter how you try you never will
cease to be hungry

Everybody's hungry for something
Everybody's hungry for something
Everybody's hungry

you can't deny that it's real
you've got a whole that you can't fill
no matter how you try you never will
cause everybody's hungry
Track Name: Paparazzi
Paparazzi

The sidewalk waits outside the gates
the dewdrops flash like paparazzi
it all takes your breath away
as it did when you were younger

you work each day
it hardly pays
to be away from home
for hours

you hesitate
we contemplate
let's stay at home
and become farmers

the world awaits outside our gates
the dewdrops flash like paparazzi
and you're a star
you know you are
and all that I can do is love you
and all that I can do is love you
