ALL THE RIGHT REASONS
FOLLOW YOU HOME (GUEST GUITAR & VOCALS BY BILLY F. GIBBONS OF ZZ TOP)
Well you can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
Well you can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
Well you can stick me in a hole
And you can pray all day for rain
You can shoot me in the leg
Just to try to make me beg
And you can leave me there for days
And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home...Yeah!
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess
You're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the face
And you can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but
I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home
You can make a couple calls
And tell your brothers I'm in town
Put a bounty on my head
And tell my parents that I'm dead
And hope to hell I'm never found
You can steal me the keys
To your daddy's Cadillac
You can tamper with the brakes
Call it a mistake
And pray I'm never coming back
And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home...Yeah!
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess
You're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit
And every city in between
You can slap me in the face
And you can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone but
I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home
You can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
You can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess
You're my California Queen

FIGHT FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS
Well I wanted you [I wanted you]
I wanted no one else
I thought it through [I thought it through]
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
And I got caught up
In favourable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?
I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
Well you know my friends [You know my friends]
Well they know your enemies
And I'd pretend [I'd pretend]
Not to hear what they said to me
'Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

For all the wrong reasons

PHOTOGRAPH
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneakin' out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time I had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must've done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Lot's better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn't let me in
Oh, woah, woah, woah God, I, I
Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Good bye, good bye
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the person I was lookin' for
It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Good bye, good bye
Goodbye
Remember the old arcade?
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They said somebody went and burnt it down
We use to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just a steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh, woah, woah, oh God, I, I
Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Good bye, good bye
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the person I was lookin' for
It's hard to say it
Time to say it
Good bye
Good bye
[I miss] I miss that town
[I miss] I miss their faces
[You can't] You can't erase
[You can't] You can't replace it
[I miss] I miss it now
[I can't] I can't believe it
[So hard] So hard to stay
[Too hard] Too hard to leave it
If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change [Change, change, change]
Every memory of lookin' out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's [Hard to say] hard to say it
Time to say it
[Bye] Good bye, good bye
Every memory of walkin' out the front door
I found the photo of the person I was lookin' for
It's [Hard to say] hard to say it
Time to say it
[Good bye] Good bye, good bye
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time it ever makes me
ANIMALS
I, I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals [Animals]
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals [Animals]
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in
You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals [Animals]
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals [Animals]
So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in
We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "What was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
We were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
I'm screamin'
No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals [Animals]
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals [Animals]
So come on baby, get in
We're just a couple of animals
Get in, just get in
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we're in
We're just a couple of animals
Get in, just get in
SAVIN' ME (GUEST PIANO BY TIM "TIMMY!" DAWSON)
Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin' [I'm fallin']
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin' [I'm fallin']
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin'
Hey!
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin' [I'm fallin', I'm fallin']
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin'
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
FAR AWAY
This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know
You know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know
You know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
So far away [So far away]
Been far away for far too long
So far away [So far away]
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you [That I love you]
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you [And I forgive you]
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me
Never let me go
Keep breathin'
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me
Never let me go
Keep breathin'
Hold on to me
Never let me go
Keep breathin'
Hold on to me
Never let me go

SIDE OF A BULLET (DIMEBAG DARRELL TRIBUTE SONG FEATURING GUEST GUITAR SOLO BY DIMEBAG DARRELL)
Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say
"Oh God, don't let him pull it"
Please God, don't let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it
How could you take his life away?
What made you think you had the right?
How could you be so full of hate?
To take away somebodies life
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own
I cried alone
And scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
"God why'd you let him do it?"
How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it
How could you take his life away?
What made you think you had the right?
How could you be so full of hate?
To take away somebodies life
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
All wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
How could you take his life away?
What made you think you had the right?
How could you be so full of hate?
To take away somebodies life
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
All wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
IF EVERYONE CARED (GUEST PIANO BY TIM "TIMMY!" DAWSON)
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight
Singing Amen I, I'm alive [I'm alive]
Singing A Amen I, I'm alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
And I'm singing
A, Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along
Singing Amen I, I'm alive [I'm alive]
Singing A Amen I, I'm alive
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died
And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
We'd see the day when nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died
SOMEONE THAT YOU'RE WITH
I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night
And I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall
To ask you out some day
But a lineup formed outside your door, and I was way too late
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
Some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place
Because somewhere
The one I wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I wanna be that someone
That you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'Til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
Well I hear your favourite songs
You sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that
I don't need for conversation sake
Last night I heard your key
It hit your lock at 4AM
Instead of being out with me
You must be out with them
Well I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like
Some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want
I'm sitting here in second place
Because somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'Til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
Well somewhere the one
I wanna be with's
With somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that
Someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long
'Til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that
Someone that you're with
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him
Somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I've got to be that
Someone that
I wanna be that someone that
I've got to be that
Someone that you're with
ROCK STAR (GUEST GUITAR & VOCALS BY BILLY F. GIBBONS OF ZZ TOP)
I'm through with standing in line
To clubs we'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth
And I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out
Quite the way I want it to be
Tell me what you want
I want a brand new house
On an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
For ten plus me
Er, so what you need?
I'll need a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair, and well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
I have to give it to ya, haha
I think I'm gonna dress my ass
With the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
Blow my money for me
I'm gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair
And change my name
'Cause we all just
Wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses
Driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and
The drugs come cheap

With that evil smile
Everybody's got a
Drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
I'm gonna sing those songs
That offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
From a pez dispenser
When they ask why I drink all day
I'll say because I can
I'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
Then listen to the fans tell me how damn good I am
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hillltop houses driving fifteen cars

SOME DAY (ACOUSTIC LIVE) [JAPANESE BONUS TRACK]
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
I hope that since we're here anyway
We can end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we can end up staying
And now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
And now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing's wrong, just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when
