I'm tired of screwing up. I'm tired of being down. I'm tired of myself. I'm tired of bein' down.
I don't understand the ones that have no sense of hope and invest in hate. That's not gonna work out, you know? It's a waste of your time!
A rebel without a clue.
Any time you're making a living at what you love to do, you're blessed.
Bring me a girl, they're always the best. You put 'em on stage, and you have 'em undress.
She grew up hard and she grew up fast, in the age of television.
My mama was a rocker way back in fifty-three, buys them old records that they sell on TV.

I'll stand my ground and I won't back down...
You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free
Well, I started out down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went down as I crossed the hill And the town lit up, the world got still I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well, the good ol' days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing Well, some say life will beat you down Break your heart, steal your crown So I've started out for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there I'm learning to fly around the clouds But what goes up must come down
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
