Bret Michaels Album

Snowy night i'm heading home
An airport bar, girl you sat all alone
I said, "hello, How've you been?"
God girl, it's sure good to see you agian

Remember of Panama City
You were fall down drunk
but you still looked pretty
We made love all night
On the beach that september
Told my friends it was great
but you still can't remember
Well...

That was then
This is now
Lookin back i wouldn't change it anyhow
This is now
That was then
Life rolls on
We're still riding against the wind

As for me
My life's been up and down
Playing night to night
Moving town to town
You said ?i've got a daughter, i"ve got two of my own?
They're the love of my life
They sure helped me grow up
?i've seen a few things, From the troops of Iraq?
I've made a few friends who didn't make it back
Yea danced with the devil
cried with the saints
?it probably was?
so it's wasn't all in vain

That was then
This is now
Lookin back i wouldn't change it anyhow
This is now
That was then
Life rolls on
We're still riding against the wind

Somedays i'm smiling
Somedays i'm sad
Somedays i sitll wake up fat mad

Yea there's a part of me that wants to go back
Then i remember I'm good right where i'm at
It's getting late baby so let's raise a glass
One to the future
and one to the past

Lookin a photographs
Pictures of
The friends we lost
and here's to the one we love

That was then
This is now
Lookin back i wouldn't change it anyhow
This is now
That was then
Life rolls on
We're still riding against the wind

It's all right
It's okay
Yesterdays gone
I'm living for today

It's ok
It's all right
Somehow we all made it through the night

Life rolls on baby!
and it's rolling,
We're still riding against the wind
It's all right
It's ok
I wouldn't change it anyway

3am, my phone starts to ring
Make no mistake it's just a sexual thing
You keep telling me
I'm the only one
but you'll go back to him, when the night is done

Your such a hot mess baby
But you know it drives me crazy

So lie to me, I'll lie to you
Say anything, believe it's true
I lie to you, You lie to me
Skin to skin, your my ecstacy.
You get me up, when you go down
Mesh our flesh, round and round
I'll take you down, you get me up
It's just sex so let's just....

You've got that smile on your face
That look in your eyes
Girl you ain't leaving, until your satisfied.
You rock my world, You wreck my bed
and when We're done, we'll start again.

I'll give it to you all night
Even try to get your name right

So lie to me, I'll lie to you
Say anything, Believe it's true
I lie to you, you lie to me
Skin to Skin, your my ecstacy.
You get me up, when you do gown
Mesh our flesh, round and round
I'll take you down, you get me up
It's just sex so let's just....

(instrumental)

Cherry red, Smeared on your lips
I wrapped my hands around your hips
You look at me and whisper
Just like this
My tequila's got you all undressed

So lie to me, I'll lie to you
Say anything, Believe it's true
I lie to you, you lie to me
Skin to skin, your ecstacy.
You get me up, when you go down.
Mesh our flesh, round and round
I'll take you down, you get me up
It's just sex so let's just....

She looks in the mirror with the makeup that don't hide the pain (oh, oh, oh)
Yeah she swore that the last time was the last time that she'd fall again (fall again)
So close yours eyes, just fall tonight
She says let this be alright, alright, alright, alright

Won't you fall down on me
So close I can feel you breathe
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me (could you fall for me)

I've been torn up, put down, wearing my heart on my sleve (oh, oh, oh)
Yeah, those scars that you wear, well I've got them too, can't you see (can't you see)
Yeah we both know better than this, still we can't resist (still we can't resist)
Slowly get undressed

Yeah, she does when she falls down on me
So close I can feel you breathe
Tonight in the darkness there's nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me (could you call for me)

Won't you fall down on me (on me)
So close I can feel you breathe (feel you breathe)
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose,
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me

She falls down on me
So close I can feel you breathe (feel you breathe)
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see (oh yeah)
If I fall for you, could you fall for me

Oh, could you fall for me

Lately I just ain't been myself
Lately I been feelin' sometin' else
These thoughts ain't helped me, to let go of your memory
Lately I just ain't been myself

There's a time to hurt, a time to heal
Yeah but lately, that just ain't the way I feel
Like some famous final scene, I saw once on my TV screen
You'll come back to me, ain't that the way that it's supposed to be

(Chorus)...I said, You're the one I hold onto
You're the one who gets me through
Every second without you
Is just wasted time
You can take my soul, you can take my freedom
Take my heart cuz I won't need it Every second without you
I've come to find
Is just wasted time...

So many things I can't replace
I miss your smiles, your tears, the lines on your pretty face
Didn't know what I lost 'til you were gone
What felt so right, but feels so wrong
The same road that carries me
Now is the same one that buries me, you see...

(CHORUS)

All the things I meant to say are now so clear
I know what I'd say if you were standin' here
Somewhere between the dark and the light
Between who's wrong and the who's right
Between the hellos and the goodbyes
If you were here with me, tonight I'd say

(Chorus)

[No lyrics]

We both lie silently still in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did? Did my words not come out right?
Though I tried not to hurt you, though I tried but I guess that's why they say

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn, yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say, "Love's a game of easy come, and easy go"
But I wonder does he know, has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now if I could have let you know somehow I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Though it's been a while now, I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you, the wound heals but the scar, that scar remains

I know I could have saved a love that night if I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love, we both made our separate ways
And now I hear you found somebody new and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside and to see you cuts me like a knife, I guess

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Please
Let me introduce myself
I'm gonna get you off
Like there's no one else

Hey
Won't you step inside my brain?
I'm your freak show, baby
I'm your crazy train

Sunset Boulevard
Hollywood Hills
Pretty kitties, black in black
And a dress to kill

I'd be your sugar daddy
I'd be your diamond rings
You'd be my dirty secret
You'd be my sexy thing

I'd take you flyin', baby
I'd be your rock star
I'd get you higher, baby
If you wanna go that far

Hey
I'd show you things you'd never seen
Touch my backstage pass
Ride my limousine

Please
Let me be your flesh and blood
Your dirty secret
[unresolved]

Sunset Boulevard
Hollywood Hills
Pretty kitties, black in black
And a dress to kill

I'd be your sugar daddy
I'd be your diamond rings
You'd be my dirty secret
You'd be my sexy thing

I'd take you flyin', baby
I'd be your rock star
I'd get you higher, baby
If you wanna go that far

Now you're velvet rope
You goin' V.I.P.
You flyin' private, baby
L.A. to N.Y.C.

You like my fancy crib
You dig that big black car
Wear them designer clothes
Hangin' with movie stars

I'd be your sugar daddy
I'd be your diamond rings
You'd be my dirty secret
You'd be my sexy thing

I'd take you flyin', baby
I'd be your rock star
I'd get you higher, baby
If you wanna go that far

I like the way you move
Oh, it's just so sexy baby
I like the way you grind my gears
Just kinda wrecks me baby
Tell you the truth I like the way you move

I like the, I love the, I like the way you feel
When you're riding beside me, baby
I like the way you grab my wheel
And just kinda guide me baby
I tell you the truth I really like your moves

When she turns my radio on
I know it won't be long
Then she straddles the drivers seat
And she and she and she, she'll roll right outta me

She says roll me up and down this highway, baby
She was born to ride high like a rolling stone, oh yeah
She wants it a little faster, so baby if you ask her
She said take me on that highway outta here

Play guitar now

Oh, I like the way you move
Oh, I like the thing you do

She'd say roll me up and down this highway, baby
She was born to ride high like a rolling stone, oh yeah
'Cause when she's in my car, she's my superstar
My girl looks so fine, I tell her true
I love the way she, aha, aha, aha

Jesse was raised in the Hollywood Hills
Living the perfect life
Jesse was told what to think- what to wear
What she could and could not buy

Her parents to busy to listen
Never give her the time of day
All Jesse wanted was someone to listen
To what she had to say

She said 'They gotta let me be
Gotta let me live my life'
She packed her bags and slammed the door
For the very last time

What Jesse wants is an open road
Her favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Tell the whole world who she's gonna be
Foot on the pedal just a letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
An Open road to chase her dreams
What Jesse really wants
Is to be young wild and free

Now Jimmy lives on the other side of town
Struggling to stay on his feet
Pulling away at some deadend job
Just trying to make ends meet
His Mother passed 10 years ago
His Father ain't never around
And just because he's a poor boy
Everybody thinks they can keep him down

Bossman there to remind him
A whole new 9 to 5
Jimmy looked down at his calloused hands
Then he realised

What Jimmy wants is an open road
His favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Against the wind screaming this is me
Foot on the pedal just a letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
An Open road to chase his dreams
What Jimmy really wants
Is to be young wild and free

oh yeah yeah

Two lost souls are travelling
Down that road of life
A little bit of faith
About to cross their paths tonight

A lonely exit east L.A.
Just to stop to watch the sun go down
There was jimmy on the hood of his car
Thinking about turning around

And somewhere in that moment
Before the sun surrended to the night
Like some famous final scene
Jesse caught Jimmys eye

Out there on that open road
They found a life to call their own
Living young and wild and free
Just the way it was meant to be

Jesse and Jimmy on an open road
Favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Young and wild and finally free
Foot on the pedal - letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
On that Open road they found their dream
Cos What Jesse really wants
What Jimmy really wants
What we all really want
Is to be young wild and free

oh yeah yeah

Young wild and free

Yeah she swore that the last time was the last time that she'd fall again (fall again)
So close yours eyes, just fall tonight
She says let this be alright, alright, alright, alright

Won't you fall down on me
So close I can feel you breathe
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me (could you fall for me)

I've been torn up, put down, wearing my heart on my sleve (oh, oh, oh)

Yeah we both know better than this, still we can't resist (still we can't resist)
Slowly get undressed

Yeah, she does when she falls down on me
So close I can feel you breathe
Tonight in the darkness there's nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me (could you call for me)

Won't you fall down on me (on me)
So close I can feel you breathe (feel you breathe)
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose,
If the truth is all we can see
If I fall for you, could you fall for me

She falls down on me
So close I can feel you breathe (feel you breathe)
Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose
If the truth is all we can see (oh yeah)
If I fall for you, could you fall for me

Oh, could you fall for me

Oh yeah, rock you baby
My pretty girl, you move so sexy in your skin
Spread your wings for me, let my love come in
My sexy girl, all the world's your stage
You love to feel my passion
You love to feed my rage
Give me your faith, you take my hand
You be my girl, I'll be your man
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, I'd die for you
Believe me, baby
Pretty girl, lives inside my head
Like an angel hanging above my head
I think about you when I'm pacing in my cage
How I loved your eyes, how you loved my evil ways
I am love, you are hate
You my laughter, I am rage
My love's forever, my heart is true
You live for me, I'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it, baby
bridge
Police coming
Judgment coming
Hangman coming
My time is coming
Pretty girl, I'd protect you from the pain
I will be your sinner, I will be your saint
My sexy girl is so hard to please
She's all I ever wanted, all I ever need
You be my girl, I'll be your man
Believe in me, give me your hand
I pull my gun, my aim is true
You'd die for me, 'cause I'd die for you
Oh yeah, rock it baby
You are love, I am hate
You're a sinner and I'm a saint
We are laughter, we are rage
Crime of passion, gonna seal my fate
You're the fire, I'm gasoline
I'm coming on like a war machine
My love is strong, my soul is true
You'd die for me, I'd die for you

3am, my phone starts to ring
