Lost
Highway
Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, John Shanks
In
my rearview mirror
My life is getting clearer
The sunset sighs and slowly disappears
These trinkets once were treasure
Life changes like the weather
You
grow up grow old or you hit the road round here
So I drive
Watching white lines passing by
My plastic dashboard Jesus
Waiting there to greet us
Hey
Hey
I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes
On this lost highway
I busted loose I'm letting go
Out on this open road
It's independence day
On this lost highway
Hey
hey
Hey hey
Don't
know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
And I'm afraid of going back again
So I drive
Years and miles are flying by
And waiting there to greet us
Is my plastic dashboard Jesus
Hey
Hey
I finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes
On this lost highway
I busted loose I'm letting go
Out on this open road
It's independence day
On this lost highway
Hey
hey
Hey hey
Oh
patron saint of lonely souls
Tell this boy which way to go
Guide the car you got the keys
Farewell to mediocrity
Kicking off the cruise control
And turning up the radio
Got just enough religion
And a half a tank of gas
Come on, let's go
I
finally found my way
Say goodbye to yesterday
Hit the gas there ain't no brakes
On this lost highway
I busted loose I'm letting go
Well I'm out on this open road
It's independence day
On this lost highway
Hey
hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
On
this lost highway
Summertime
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Shanks
Feels
something like summertime
Top down and nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
These
days life goes like this
Wake up, check that off of some list
Got to be a little something more than this
At the bottom of my coffee cup
I keep a postcard in the back of my mind
White sand, sunshine
And you shining like a brand new dime
That's keeping me for giving up
Thinking like I had enough
You
make me
Feel something like summertime
Top down and nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothing baby better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels something like summertime
I
was a warm breeze with a cool tan
Life mapped out on the back of my hand
When God was laughing I was making plans
But He didn't laugh when I found you
If there is a heaven you're the proof
You
make me
Feel something like summertime
Top down and nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothing baby better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
It feels something like summertime
Feel
something like summertime
Top down and nothing but time
Radio's on for me and my valentine
It's like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
There ain't nothing baby better then this
It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
Feel
something like summertime
Top down and nothing but time
Radio's on and you're by my side
Feels something like summertime
Just like summertime
(You
Want to) Make a Memory
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Desmond Child
Hello
again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin'
wine, killin' time
Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life? It's been a while
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave
If
you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You want to make a memory
I
dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It's bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing I don't want to ask
If you go now I'll understand
If you stay, hey I got a plan
You
want to make a memory
You want to steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You want to make a memory
If
you don't know if you should say
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
We should be
You
want to make a memory
You want to steal a piece of time
You can sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You
want to make a memory
You want to make a memory
Whole
Lot of Leavin
Bon Jovi, Shanks
It's
pretty cold for late September
The autumn wind is creeping in
The summer sun packed up It's long gone
There's a whole lot of leavin' going on
I
bet It's warm in California
I think it's time to hit the road
I just might call that band of gypsys
Go searching for our pot of gold
Seems like lately there's a whole lot
Of leavin' going on
I
close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice
It takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot
Of leavin' going on
Close
the window draw the curtains
You ain't the only one here hurtin'
No one's right, no one's wrong
Lately there's a whole lot of leavin' goin on
I
close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice
It takes me back to that time
Where I could find a reason to be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot
Of leavin' going on
You
used to live to say you love me
Now you got one foot out the door
It's then you you turn around and ask me
Do we got it anymore
I
close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I still hear your voice
It takes me back to that time
When I need a reason to be strong
I
close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
I walk the line you'll never hear me sayin' goodbye
So pretty baby please be strong
Seems like lately there's a whole lot of leavin' going on
We
Got It Going On
Bon Jovi, Sambora, John Rich, Kenny Alphin
Is
there anybody out there looking for a party
Shake your moneymaker baby smoke it if you got it
We just want to have some fun
If you don't want to kiss this
Everybody raise your hands
Come on I need a witness
We
got it going on
We'll be bangin' and sangin' just like the Rolling Stones
We're gonna shake up your souls
We've come to rattle your bones
'Cause we got it going on
You
got a ticket to kick it
I want to hear you scream now
Because tonight you got the right
To let your hair down
When everybody's getting down
We're getting down to business
Insane, freak train
You don't want to miss this
We
got it going on
We'll be bangin' and sangin' just like the Rolling Stones
We're gonna shake up your souls
We've come to rattle your bones
'Cause we got it going on
We
got it going on
We got it going on
We got it going on
We'll
be bangin' and sangin' just like the Rolling Stones
We're gonna shake up your souls
We've come to rattle your bones
'Cause we got it going on
Getting
down with Big and Rich and Richie and Jon
Just a bangin' and sangin'
Why don't you all come along
We got it going on
We
got it
We got it
We got it going on
We
got it
We got it
We got it going on
Any
Other Day
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Gordie Sampson
Alarm
clock rings It's 6:45
Must have hit that snooze button least three times
I'm wishing this morning
Was still last night
On any other day
I just might want to die
Traffic's
backed up 20 miles to the east
Must have hit every damn red light on the street
The weatherman says it's gonna rain for a week
Hey what can you do
On
any other day I'd be blue eyes crying
I could tell the world at least I'm trying
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new
For me and you
On any other day
I might just go crazy
The grace is knowing that your gonna save me
Maybe luck and love will pull us through
On
any other day
I might just stay in bed
Sink down in a sea of blankets
Pull them up over my head
Catch a beer buzz in the morning
Just to get a little edge
Then maybe just get up in time
To do it all again
Hey, I like where this is going
Yeah, 'cause I know where It's been
On
any other day I'd be blue eyes crying
I could tell the world at least I'm trying
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new
For me and you
On any other day
I might just go crazy
The grace is knowing that your gonna save me
Maybe luck and love will pull us through
Alarm
clock rings It's 6:45
I like waking up with you on my mind
Knowing that you're saving me one more time
On
any other day I'd be blue eyes crying
I could tell the world at least I'm trying
The clouds are breaking the sun is shining new
For me and you
On any other day
I might just go crazy
The grace is knowing that your gonna save me
Maybe luck and love will pull us through
Seat
Next to You
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Hillary Lindsey
A
long slow drive down an old dirt road
You got your hand out the window listening to the radio
That’s where I want to be
On an old park bench in the middle of December
Cold hard rain falling can’t find no cover
That
would be alright with me
Hard
days, good times
Blue skies, dark nights
Baby, I want you to take me
Wherever you’re going to
Maybe, say that you’ll save me
A seat next to you
In
the corner booth of a downtown bar
With your head on my shoulder
Smoking on a cheap cigar
That would be all right with me
In
the back row of a movie
Or a cross-town train
I want to hear your voice
Whispering my name
That’s where I want to be
Hard
days, good times
Blue skies, dark nights
Baby, say that you’ll take me
Wherever you’re going to
Maybe, say that you’ll save me
A seat next to you
Life
is like a Ferris wheel spinning around
When you get to the top it’s hard to look down
Just hang on
We’ll make it through
Save me
A seat next to you
When
you get to the gates
And all the angels sing
Go to that place
Where the church bells ring and know I’ll come running
Running to find you
Baby,
say that you’ll take me
Wherever you’re going to
And baby, I want you to save me
A
seat next to you
A seat next to you
A seat next to you
Everybody's
Broken
Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon
Welcome
to the party
Come on in and disappear
You’re feeling like a stranger
But all your friends are here
Little lines and cracks
Around your eyes and mouth
Something’s trying to get in
Something’s trying to get out
It’s okay to be a little broken
Everybody’s broken in this life
It’s okay to feel a little broken
Everybody’s broken
You’re alright, it’s alright
It’s just life
Step
into the deep end
Make yourself at home
When you wonder why you’re breathing
Know you’re not alone
It’s so hard to believe
What’s easier to doubt
You’re trying to hold in
What you’re dying to scream out
It’s
okay to be a little broken
Everybody’s broken in this life
It’s okay to feel a little broken
Everybody’s broken
You’re alright, it’s alright
It’s just life
Take
a look around
Tell me what you see
Is who you think you are
Who you want to be
It’s
okay to be a little broken
Everybody’s broken in this life
It’s okay to feel a little broken
Everybody’s broken
You’re alright
Keep on going
Eyes wide open
Everybody’s
broken
Everybody’s broken
Everybody’s broken
Everybody’s broken
Everybody's broken
Everybody’s broken
Till
We Ain't Strangers Anymore
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Brett James
It
might be hard to be lovers
But it’s harder to be friends
Baby pull down the covers
It’s time you let me in
Maybe light a couple candles
I’ll
just go ahead and lock the door
If you’ll just talk to me baby
Till we ain’t strangers anymore
Lay
your head on my pillow
I’ll sit beside you on the bed
Don’t you think it’s time to say
Some things we haven’t say
It ain’t too late to get back to that place
Back to the way we thought it was before
Why don’t you look at me
Till we ain’t strangers anymore
Sometimes
it’s hard to love me
Sometimes it’s hard to love you too
I know it’s hard believing
That love can pull us through
It would be so easy to live your life
With one foot out the door
Just hold me baby
Till we ain’t strangers anymore
It’s
hard to find forgiveness
When we just turn out the lights
It’s hard to say you’re sorry
When we can’t tell wrong from right
It would be so easy to spend your whole damn life
Just keeping the score
So
let’s get down to it baby
There ain’t no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see
When you look into my eyes
Let’s put our two hearts back together
And we’ll leave the broken pieces on the floor
Make love with me baby
Till
we ain’t strangers anymore
Till we ain't strangers anymore
The
Last Night
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Shanks
These
days
It’s hard to have a heart
It doesn’t matter where you come from
Or who you think you are
These days
It’s hard just fitting in
Why does someone have to lose
For someone else to win
We’re all looking for forgiveness
And someone we can trust
You can’t wrap your arms around the world
It all comes down to us
This
is the last night
You’ll have to be alone
I’ll be standing right beside you
If you can’t make it on your own
So walk with me please
Help me to be strong
I’ll be the shoulder
You can lean on
When everybody’s gone
This is the last night
You’ll have to be alone
I
know you’ll heard it all before
There’s nothing worse than living less
When you yearn for something more
Makes no sense
It’s hard to understand when the something
That should fill you up
Keeps slipping through your hands
This
is the last night
You’ll have to be alone
I’ll be standing right beside you
If you can’t make it on your own
So walk with me please
Help me to be strong
I’ll be the shoulder
You can lean on
When everybody’s gone
This is the last night
You’ll have to be alone
We’re
all looking for answers
We’re all down here on our knees
All anybody really wants
Is something to believe
Enough is enough
I can’t take anymore
I’m standing on your front porch
And kickin down your door
This
is the last night
This is the last night
You’ll have to be alone
I’ll be standing right beside you
If you can’t make it on your own
So walk with me please
Help me to be strong
I’ll be the shoulder
You can lean on
When everybody’s gone
This is the last night
You’ll have to be alone
This
is the last time
This is the last night
This is the last night
This is the last night you’ll have to be alone
One
Step Closer
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Shanks
I’ve
seen the heart of darkness
Let’s just say I crossed over that line
Held hands with the hopeless
In too deep on that ride
Went around one more time
When you’re standing on the edge
You don’t look down
Till you’re ready and willing to fly
Now
I’m one step closer
With my arms open wide
I’m one step closer
And I’m willing to try this time
I
hitched a ride with forgiveness
In that river of emotion
I went down a third time
I spent the night with the living
Took a chance looked inside
Didn’t know who I’d find
Standing on the corner of hello and goodbye
All alone it’s there I made up my mind
I’m
one step closer
With my arms open wide
I’m one step closer
And I’m willing to try
I’m
sick of giving up
With a little luck
I’m gonna get out of here
When you’re standing on the edge
You don’t look down
Till you’re ready and your willing to fly
Now
I’m one step closer
With my arms open wide
I’m one step closer
And I’m willing to try
I’m
one step closer
I'm one step closer
I
Love This Town
Bon Jovi, Sambora, Falcon
I
always knew that I liked this place
You don’t have to look too far to find a friendly face
I feel alive when I’m walking on this street
I feel the heart of the city
Pounding underneath my feet
This
is where it all goes down, down, down
That’s why I love this town
That’s why I keep coming round
Say hey, say yeah
You make me feel at home somehow right now
That’s why I love this town
I
got some good friends here
Might have broke a heart or two
It’s getting loud over there
The boys must have had a few
There’s a cop on the corner
He knows everybody’s name
And a kid with a dream
Singing for some spare loose change
Let
the world keep spinning round and round
This is where it all goes down, down, down
That’s why I love this town
That’s why I keep coming round
Say hey, say yeah
You make me feel at home somehow right now
That’s why I love this town
They’re
shouting from the rooftops
Dancing on the bars
Hanging out the window driving in their baby’s car
You want it, you got it
You ready I’m on it
Come on now here we go again
That’s
why I love this town
That’s why I love this town
No
matter where you’re from
Tonight you’re from right here
This is where it all goes down, down, down
That’s why I love this town
Say
hey, say yeah
I love this town
Say hey, say yeah
I love this town
Say hey, say yeah
I love this town
Say hey, say yeah
I love this town |
