Road Island

(pack - puerta)

Babe, it took a long, long time to get it out this way
Now, that the hurtin's over all i've got to say
(is) that i know
Sure as i am living
It takes more than forgiving
'cause it ain't been easy
I know you did your best to please me

How can you love me,
After all the years we've tried
After all the tears you've cried
After our love has died

Babe, i've seen some pretty faces everywhere i go
I say now
Maybe i ain't the same person that you used to know
But i know
In my heart i'm livin'
For the love you've given
And the foolish thing about it
Is that i thought i'd live without it

How can you love me
When you know i've been with someone else
And i ain't too happy with myself
But i keep on comin' back around

Ooh, sometimes it feels like i'm gone forever
(i'm gone forever)
Ooh, it gets so hard to wait
(it gets hard to wait)
Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better
Well, i know that somethin' is surely wrong
When i feel this way, well i can't go on and on

(pack)

When i can't count on no one else and nothin' seems true then i begin to doubt mvself and i come to you
You've cried with my disappointments
And laughed at my lies
Showed me the way to live again and i realize
I realize

That i'm feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man

Babe, tell me what you do
To make every single dream come true
You give it all and now i'm givin' it back to you

Wherever we may choose to live the rest of our lives
If this is the best that we can give you know it's all right there may be expectations that we hold inside
As long as we live up to this love we'll be all right

'cause i'm feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man

You know that i do feel about you
You know that i do feel about you

Maybe it's all behind us now, we're not so far
To find everything we need somehow right where we are there are no hesitations, only the way
To live inside your love again
And here i will stay
Here i will stay

'cause i'm feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man

Well, it's beginning to take hold
That i'm gettin' too old to act the fuckin' fool that i feel maybe i'm just too lazy
To stop actin' crazy and past the point of playin' for real

But oh, it's makin' me
Old man, it's sure takin' its toll

Can't put on the brakes yet
Got the pedal to the floor
But man you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more

Well now i'm pushin' thirty but my legs are sturdy
And ready to run like hell
But i'd rather be racin' 'round
While she's busy face down in my 450 s.e.l.

But whoa, little lady don't ask for my i.d.
Don't wanna know, no i don't

Gettin' all the lovin' now i never had before
But kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more

Yeah, when you feel this way
Well you get your kicks and lovin' nearly every day
Yeah, when he feels this way
Then he knows what he wants and he takes what he gets and he...

I need a shot like a trigger from a potion in a jigger
To keep my motor razor clean
I might start actin' funny but don't worry honey
Just lay back and service my machine
I may be older but the grape gets sweeter
The longer that it's on the vine

You got no right in what you're thinkin'
After doin' what you did
Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more

Repeat

(drummond - pack - puerta - bernstein****)

Home life, seems you're gettin'
Mad 'n' nothin's gettin' done
Old ties, that held you back
Have got you on the run
It's do or die, it's time to fly

Tearin' up all the old news
Put down the trash we used to take
Now, we'll leave it for the next
Fool to go, hope you know, it was almost real

Don't need no one
'cause i got my own
I don't need nothin' at all
Nothin's gonna change the world
No handouts from your kind

Oh my, it's time we found a way to
Turn our heads around
No time, before they put our bodies underground
All right, okay, we're gonna pay

Blown-out, my brains are blistered
No doubt, it's been two-fisted fate
Now i'm border-linin' straight from this show
To some hole where we'll lay real low...

Make my own world
I'm on my own and i don't need that world at all
Runnin' from an angry crowd
No escape from your kind

Ice age, the wind is chilly
And the sun is almost gone
Mad race, is growin' cold and your life's gettin' on
No time to stop, your number's up

Make my own world
I'm on my own and i don't need that world at all
Runnin' from an angry crowd
No escape from your kind
