Make It Home (2002)


 

Angel Eyes lyrics - Dan Seals

There’s something I want to tell you
There’s something I think you should know
Lately I’ve been missing you
Regretting letting you go

I thought I could live without you
I thought I could hold back my tears
But late at night I can’t help but cry
When I look back on the years

Remember when I kissed you for the first time at New Year
Remember when we made love on the fourth of July
Remember when you told me that you always
Be my one and only angel eyes

Sometimes when I’m reminiscing
Wondering what you’re doing now
Those hot summer nights we spent talking
‘Bout how we get out of this town

I know that I took you for granted
And maybe you lie once or twice
But after the wounds have been healed and mended
I still need you here by my side

Remember when I kissed you for the first time at New Year
Remember when we made love on the fourth of July
Remember when you told me that you always
Be my one and only angel eyes

Such A Sweet Sight lyrics - Dan Seals

The Roman Colosseum and that clock Big Ben
See 'em in the movies every now and then
And I'd like to go there someday but I know
I've got my share of wonders here just right at home

Like sparklers on the lawn on the Fourth of July
Ice cream meltin' on a hot slice of peach pie
A barefoot boy with a homemade kite
Jelly jar full of fireflies
A shootin' star on a summer night
A big yellow moon over me holdin' you so tight
Such a sweet sight

I love that famous photo of the earth from outer space
Not as much as seein' a child's smilin' face

Ridin' high up on a merry-go-round
Another little miracle here on solid ground

Like sparklers on the lawn on the Fourth of July...

If I never make it to the Taj Mahal
The Pyramids the Great China Wall
Come the day when I receive St. Peter's call
I won't have missed anything at all

A jelly jar full of fireflies
A shootin' star on a summer night
Big yellow moon over me holdin' you so tight
Such a sweet sight

A jelly jar full of fireflies...
Mhhm such a sweet sight



Saw You In My Dreams lyrics - Dan Seals


I know this will sound strange
But I swear I know your name
And I’ll bet you don’t remember where we met
It was here another time
And though this sounds just like a line
You told me things I never will forget

Would you believe I saw you in my dreams
We were dancin’ all alone
We were talkin’ soft and low
I was about to take you home
I woke up and found you gone
Would you believe I saw you in my dreams

There were people all around
But I never heard a sound
Till you broke the spell I heard you say hello
It’s as if somehow you knew
I was waitin’ here for you
And hopin’ for the moment to unfold

Would you believe I saw you in my dreams
We were dancin’ all alone
We were talkin’ soft and low
I was about to take you home
I woke up and found you gone
Would you believe I saw you in my dreams

I don’t pretend to know why things
Work out the way they do
But somewhere in your quiet moments
Do you remember too?

I never wanted it to end
I woke up without my friend
Would you believe I saw you in my dreams
Would you believe I saw you in my dreams


Certain Circles lyrics - Dan Seals

Wheels are turnin' on the interstate
Clock is tickin' on the wall
Another day spins away on this blue boy
So many faces on a crowded street

I feel invisible sometimes
I want to be surrounded by the ones who fill my life
With sunshine

In certain circles I can do no wrong

There's something special bout the ground I walk on
Those uncertainties they're all gone in certain circles
In certain circles I'm a shining star
And we're all connected at the heart
It all comes round to all the love we are
In certain circles
In certain circles

Summer's endin' geese are flying south
Soon we'll be skatin' on the pond
It's certain spring will come the ice is gone
Sweet compassion I see in your eyes
When you ask about my day
And holdin' hands around the table sayin' grace
Everything's in place

In certain circles I can do no wrong...

Round and round and round and round
In certain circles I can do no wrong
Round and round and round and round
There's something special bout the ground I walk on
In certain circles I'm a shining star
And we're all connected at the heart
It all comes round to all the love we are
In certain circles
In certain circles
In certain circles
Round and round and round and round

Only You lyrics - Dan Seals

I know that you're the one
Just as sure as the sun sets over the sea
And when the day is done
All my life has become, you've given to me
While the poets could say it so fancy and fine
I choose a simple way where every word is mine

And it's only you,
Cross my heart, it's true
And we'll see it through
Cross my heart for me
There's only you

Along this winding road
There are warm days and cold
Blue skies and gray
But darlin', all I know
That my love, grows stronger each day
'Cause we planted on a seed on a warm summer's night
And now it's a flower in bloom, reaching for the light

And it's only you,
Cross my heart, it's true
And we'll see it through
Cross my heart for me
There's only you

So come lay down beside me, let's dream us some dreams
'Cause I am planning my life and you're in every scene

And it's only you,
Cross my heart, it's true
And we'll see it through
Cross my heart for me
There's only you


Reminiscing lyrics - Dan Seals

Friday night, it was late,
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate,
And I was dreaming of the night.

Would it turn out right
How to tell you, girl
I wanna build my world around you
Tell you that it's true.
I wanna make you understand
I'm talkin' about a lifetime plan.

That's the way it began,
We were hand in hand.
Glenn Miller's Band was better than before.
We yelled and screamed for more
And the Porter tunes (Night and Day)
Made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
And on the way back home
I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late,
I can hardly wait,
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing

Friday night, it was late,
I was walking you home
We got down to the gate,
And I was dreaming of the night.

Would it turn out right
Now as the years roll on,
Each time we hear our favorite song,
The memories come along.
Older times we're missing
Spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late
I can hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark
Walking through the park
And reminiscing


Blessed lyrics - Dan Seals

Blessed is the moment
I wake and see your face
A hundred secret places
In my heart are amazed

You fill me my heart with wonder
You fill my eyes with joy
And blessed is this feeling
That nothing can destroy

Sweet surrender, falling for you
With no hesitation
‘Cause I know your heart is true
I’ll be tender, and I’ll do you right
‘Cause blessed is the fortune
That put you in my life

Blessed is the goodness
In everything you do
And Lord only knows why
He made only one you

And blessed is devotion
Like nothing else I’ve known
I may not know the future
But I know I’m not alone

Sweet surrender, falling for you
With no hesitation
‘Cause I know your heart is true
I’ll be tender, and I’ll do you right
‘Cause blessed is the fortune
That put you in my life

You are a miracle, a gift from above
There is nothing on Earth
I would not do
For your love

Sweet surrender, falling for you
With no hesitation
‘Cause I know your heart is true
I’ll be tender, and I’ll do you right
‘Cause blessed is the fortune
That put you in my life


It Don't Matter Who You Love lyrics - Dan Seals

The cars
Bright lights out on the strip
Of lovers walking the boulevard
Make it look easy

The night air
Blowin’ from the West Side
Is warm on my face
As I walk alone on home

It don't matter who you love
It don't matter who you love
You can give everything
But it’s no good
‘Til it comes back to you

Tonight
I watched a show in my room
And I saw me and you
Over and over

The end
They just walk away
Nothing left to say
They make it look easy to leave

It don't matter who you love
You can give everything
It don't matter who you love
When it’s all said and done

It don't matter who you love
You can give everything
It don't matter who you love
When it’s all said and done


Make It Home lyrics - Dan Seals


Well, we never found the cattle
But we saw where they’d been
So I guess they’ll have
To make it on their own

And the snow it just keeps fallin’
Like it’s never gonna end
So Red I guess
We better move along

Make it home, make it home
She’ll have supper on the table
And a fire burnin’ warm by the bed
Make it home, make it home
And I’ll put you in your stable
You know that I depend upon you, Red
Make it home

Well, I thought I knew this valley
I used to know the way
But the snow has caused it
All to look the same

Can you see where you’re goin’
Cause I can’t see a thing
But I won’t let go
My hands around your mane

Make it home, make it home
She’ll have supper on the table
And a fire burnin’ warm by the bed
Make it home, make it home
And I’ll put you in your stable
You know that I depend upon you, Red
Make it home

Come on, Red, get up
This ain’t no time to sleep
Got to keep on movin’
Or they’ll find us in the Spring

Well, I think I smell the wood smoke
And I think I see a light
And I think I hear her callin’ in the wind

And it’s just a little farther
And everything will be alright
Got a feelin’ that our journey’s ‘bout to end

Make it home, make it home
She’ll have supper on the table
And a fire burnin’ warm by the bed
Make it home, make it home
And I’ll put you in your stable
You know that I depend upon you, Red
Make it home

Make it home

Why This River Runs lyrics - Dan Seals

The sound of your name is like the wind on the water
On the surface it dances with the light of the moon
Below the reflection deep as a heartbeat
All that I am starts flowing to you

Why this river runs to you
No matter where you are
Why it always flows straight to
The ocean of your heart
It’s because all that I am and all that is true
Was meant to be a part of you
Forever no matter what comes
That’s why this river runs

The light of your smile is like the glow of the morning
Full of the promise of an untouched day
Wherever I look you fill the horizon
And my heart without question is swept away

Why this river runs to you
No matter where you are
Why it always flows straight to
The ocean of your heart
It’s because all that I am and all that is true
Was meant to be a part of you
Forever no matter what comes
That’s why this river runs

It’s because all that I am and all that is true
Was meant to be a part of you
Forever no matter what comes
That’s why this river runs
That’s why this river runs



album: "Fired Up" (1994)

All Fired Up lyrics - Dan Seals

Just got paid and I waxed my car
Gonna take my baby to her favorite country bar
'Cause I'm all fired up
Well I'm all fired up and I'm ready to go
Got the honky tonk down in my soul
And I'm all fired up
Well I'm all fired up

You're gonna wear that dress I bought 'cha last week
'Cause you look so good makes a country boy weep
I'm all fired up
Well I'm all fired up
I know a real hot spot the other side of town
You and me baby gonna burn it down
'Cause I'm all fired up
We're all fired up

We're gonna dance 'til the band's packed up and gone
We're gonna make a little lovin' all night long
'Cause I'm all fired up
I'm all fired up
I'm all fired up
I'm all fired up and Lord I'm ready to go

Gonna pick you up along about eight
Honey you're so hot I just can't wait
'Cause I'm all fired up
Bobby Lee's all fired up
My temperature's rising and you're to blame
Gonna turn this spark into a flame
'Cause I'm all fired up
Lord I'm all fired up

We're gonna dance 'til the band's packed up and gone
We're gonna make a little lovin' all night long
'Cause I'm all fired up
I'm all fired up
I'm all fired up
I'm all fired up and Lord I'm ready to go


A Rose From Another Garden lyrics - Dan Seals

Our love was as strong
As a flower in the spring
So full of life and colors
We kept it alive
With tenderness and desire
Trust was our sunshine and water
But lately I find myself praying for rain
For the light of the sun
To bring her home again

Is she tending to a rose
From another garden?
While ours slowly grows dry
Is she tending to a rose
From another garden?
Letting our love die on the vine

Should I lay the blame
Or feel any shame?
Should I be the one to let go?
Did her love like a rose
Changed with the season
Truly beyond her control
Should I hold on to the thorns
Or get on with my life?
Are the roots deep enough
For our love to survive?

Is she tending to a rose
From another garden?
While ours slowly grows dry
Is she tending to a rose
From another garden?
Letting our love die on the vine

Letting our love die on the vine

Gentleman Of Leisure lyrics - Dan Seals

I want a job that's not too demanding
Like where you do a lot of standing
No way to be an elevator operator
No way a salesman, no way a waiter
Cause I'm a gentleman, a gentleman of leisure

The classified ads got nothing too appealing
I don't know, but I just got the feeling
It might take some time to find a position
With a pretty secretary, time to do some fishing
Cause I'm a gentleman, gentleman of leisure

Whoa
I'm a gentleman (I'm a gentleman)
Gentleman of leisure (Gentleman of leisure)
Set me in the sun (In the sun)
Gentleman of leisure (Gentleman of leisure)
Let me take my time (Take my time)
I bet you I can please you (Bet you I can please you)

Forty-hour week, can't you make it thirty?
No heavy lifting, you get yourself dirty
Beautiful office, thirty-seven floors
Paintings on the wall
Title on the door says
Gentleman of Leisure

I look nice in a clean white collar
Take-home pay, oh, say a million dollars
I'll keep looking, never say die
Somebody, somewhere is looking for a guy
Who's a gentleman, gentleman of leisure

Whoa
I'm a gentleman (I'm a gentleman)
Gentleman of leisure (Gentleman of leisure)
Set me in the sun (In the sun)
Gentleman of leisure (Gentleman of leisure)
Let me take my time (Take my time)
I bet you I can please you (Bet you I can please you)

Whoa
I'm a gentleman (I'm a gentleman)
Gentleman of leisure (Gentleman of leisure)
Set me in the sun (In the sun)
Gentleman of leisure (Gentleman of leisure)
Let me take my time (Let me take my time)
I bet you I can please you (Bet you I can please you)


Still Reelin' (From Those Rock & Roll Days) lyrics - Dan Seals

I remember where I was the first time I saw Elvis
In our living room on our black and white TV
He sang Blue Suede Shoes and when the song was over
I knew things would never be the same for me

I grew up in a house where the doors were always open
Where a stranger is just someone I did not know
With Dreams of far off places and old guitars
Fell asleep listening to the all night radio

Now the rooms in this old house are all empty
And sometimes I wonder just how far I've come
I know some things must end, I don't know where I fit in
Still reelin' from those rock and roll days

Granddad died and left me his old chevy
Forty eight hundred pounds of Detroit steel
Sometimes at night I wish that I still had it
So it could drive me back to the way I used to feel

Now the buildings down on main street are all empty
And sometimes I wonder just how far we've come
I know some things must end, though I try hard to fit in
Still reelin' from those rock and roll days

Though I come back to this place when I feel empty
And I play those old songs I love to hear
I know some things must end and I should find where I fit in
Still reelin' from those rock and roll days

Sha na na you know I love you
Sha na na I always will
Sha na na I'm thinking of you
Sha na na you know the way I feel

Sha na na you know I love you
Sha na na I always will
Sha na na I'm thinking of you
Sha na na you know the way I feel

Mason Dixon Line lyrics - Dan Seals

I can hear the distant rumbling
From the unrest in your heart
The dark winds are blowing
Come to tear us apart

Our point of view is different
Depending on which side we're on
And every harsh word echoes
And surely comes back home

Are we separate from each other
Or will we both unite
We come from different places
But love's not black or white
There's something here worth saving
If we reach across in time
We're living on a Mason Dixon Line

We were standing here together
Before the trouble came
Now it circles all around us
Like a moth to a flame
Whoa they say a house divided
In time will surely fall
Will you stand here beside me
With our backs against the wall

Change our hearts
Make us whole
Help us see forever

Someone Else's Dance lyrics - Dan Seals

I met her out in Colorado
She didn't know which road to follow
She thumbed on down to Santa Fe
Before the snowflakes blew

Back home they didn't understand
So she had to change her plans
The midnight rain, the baby came
The father never knew
And you know I didn't plan to stay
But the roads were old and they washed away

And in between the life we dream
And those dark and dusty days
We drive to work and make our plans
As time tip toes away

The music plays from far away
A song of circumstance
We step in time or fall behind
In someone else's dance

Staring at the starry sky
Hand in hand the boy and I
We watch 'm fall
The Momma calls
It's time to come inside
And he'll never know how close he came
To a different life with a another name

And in between the life we dream
And those dark and dusty days
We drive to work and make our plans
As time tip toes away

The music plays from far away
A song of circumstance
We step in time or fall behind
In someone else's dance

Sneaky Moon lyrics - Dan Seals

Radio sittin' on a window sill
I can hear the music comin' over the hill
How am I supposed to stay in bed
With a crazy little love song in my head
Ooh sneaky moon ooh sneaky moon

June bug buzzin' on the front porch light
Heartbreak's a waitin' for me outside
I swore I wouldn't open that door
Here I am in those arms once more
Ooh sneaky moon ooh sneaky moon

Safe and sound at home asleep is where I oughta be
Everywhere I go it just keeps creepin' up on me

Romeo waited for the sun to set
Before he serenaded Juliet
Eve met the devil on a Saturday night
But who tricked her into takin' that bite
Ooh sneaky moon ooh sneaky moon

Sneaky moon
Think it's bubblin' in me
Ooh sneaky moon doggone moon
Ooh sneaky moon

Sweet Little Shoe lyrics - Dan Seals

You're a swell shing a linger you can bop and birdland too
You're a swell shing a linger you can rock and sock and birdland too
Well you look just like your mother but you sure swing a sweet little shoe

They can bop until Sunday and they'll never bop like you
They can bop month of Sundays and they'll never bop a bit like you
Well you talk just like your daddy but you do swing a sweet little shoe

Hey let's do that shuffle thing that we worked out together
Come on girl and fan my flame shake a tail feather
The ladies in the neighborhood are talkin' about a scandal
All this funky fol-de-rol is just too hot to handle

I've got some brand new school shoes and they're killin' my feet
I've got some shiny new school shoes and man these things are murder on my feet
Well they might look nice in Sunday school but they're not good for dancin' in the street

Let's do that shuffle thing that we worked out together...
You're a swell shing a linger you can bop and birdland too...

We Are One lyrics - Dan Seals

In a bombed out room in Belfast
A young boy is crying
He's alone and he don't understand
How the teachings of one book
Built on love and understanding
Could cause the hurt and killing in his land

In an old part of Jerusalem
Two children are playing
They run and laugh
The way it's meant to be
But one will wear the star and one will wear the crescent
And they'll grow up and change from friends to enemies

But we are one
Flowers of one garden
We're one the leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down
And stand here together
We are one family

In a Pakistani village
A young boy on crutches
Takes a fall
And lies helplessly there
And he holds out his hand
But no one will take it
They won't touch him
Or the clothes that he wears

On a side street in Selma
A black child is sitting
In a squad car
Protected from the whites
'Cause they're burning a cross
To send her a message
And you can see
The fear in her eyes

But we are one
Flowers of one garden
We're one the leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down
And stand here together
We are one family

Ponder in our hearts
How we were all created
From the same dust
And searching we will find
That spirit of the age
Has come to find us
To find us

But we are one
Flowers of one garden
We're one the leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down
And stand here together
We are one family

Good Times (originally by Sam Cooke) lyrics - Dan Seals

C'mon and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long
Yeah, c'mon and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long

I could tell ya....

The evening sun is sinkin' low
The clock on the wall says it's time to go
I've got my plans, I don't know about you
I tell you exactly what I'm gonna do

Get in the groove and let the good times roll
I'm gonna stay here 'till I soothe my soul
If it takes all night long
Yeah, everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long

Yeah, it might be one o'clock, it might be three
Time don't mean that much to me
I ain't felt this good since I don't know when
I might not feel this good again

So everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our soul
If it takes all night long

All night, all night
And all night, and all night long
Somebody said it might take all night long
And all night, all night long

So c'mon and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our souls
If it takes all night long, yeah.
So everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here 'till we soothe our souls
If it takes all night long.

And all night, and all night
And all night, all night long
Somebody said it might take all night long
And all night, all night long


Made For Lovin' You lyrics - Dan Seals

Everybody sings a different kind of song
All God's children have somewhere where they belong
Oh, I heard it said I know it must be true
We were meant to be, I'm made for loving you.

Everybody has something he must be
Call it fortune, or just call it destiny
I have spent my life making my way to you
See the way we fit? I'm made for loving you.

Like blue skies always seem to go with sunshine
And just like laughter goes along with good times

I have spent my life making my way to you
See the way we fit? I'm made for loving you.

She Flew The Coupe lyrics - Dan Seals

Sittin' in a bar room
Joplin, Missouri
Texas on my mind

Got no way to get there
Got no need to hurry
All I got is my time

In walks a lady
Heart be still!
In walks a lady with a Coupe de Ville

She asked for someone new
To ride Tulsa way
She said she had to be there
Yesterday

Said I need a ride
a little further south
She said "Climb on in, boy
just shut your mouth"

Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother
She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
Let me tell you, brother
She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred
A woman that fast, she don't need a number.

About a half an hour in
I turned on the radio
I caught a little bit of news
About a lady you know

There was somethin' 'bout gun play
and a car she took
Satisfactory conditions
For throwin' the book

I looked to my left (to my left, to my left)
Heart be still!
I was looking at the lady with the Coupe de Ville

She said, "Back in Missouri
a man owed a little debt.
It wasn't over money
But she took what she could get."

"She was in the driver's seat
She never looked back."
And I was ridin' shotgun
In a Cadillac

Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother
She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
Let me tell you, brother
She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred
A woman that fast, she don't need a number.

Mmmm, Let me tell you, brother
She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
Let me tell you, brother
She flew the coupe (coupe, coupe)
Could have been eighty, ninety, or a hundred
A woman that fast, she don't need a number.

Yeah, go on baby

Wood lyrics - Dan Seals

His old hands were brown
from the varnish and the stain
And I had come to talk
in my youth and in my pain
I told him that I was not
the man I want to be
I waited to see what he would say

But he just kept on working
as if I wasn't there
The sweat on his face
and dust in his hair
He paused for a moment
when I'd been there for a while
He wiped his brow - I thought I saw him smile

He just said "Wood,
From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree
And we can take it, shape it, to what's it's meant to be
The stronger the fiber, the better for the good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."

I handed him a timber
and he laid it on the bench
I watched the love and care he took
to measure every inch
the work it got harder
when he cut across the grain
but he just put more shoulder to the plane

I sat there beside him
as he carved out every line
He made a thing of beauty
from a rough 'ol piece of pine
He seem to have the vision
of what the end would be
I felt as if some pieces had been taken out of me

He just said "Wood,
From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree
And we can take it, shape it, to what's it's meant to be
The stronger the fiber, the better for the good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."

I left a little taller
wiser, and free
I learned the use of tools
for the carpenter in me
I don't have all the answers
but one thing I have have found
We are the choices that we make
when the chips are down, wood.

He said, "The stronger the fiber, the better for the good
Son, I believe that men are just like wood."


Bordertown lyrics - Dan Seals

In the quiet hours before the dawn
Buttons up his uniform
Takes out his badge and pins it on
For thirty years he's enforced the law
And he drives out on the Rio Grande
Across the dry and sunburned land
And on this side he takes his stand again

They won't get through this bordertown
He turns 'em back, he stands his ground
But still they come, because they know
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown

It's not his place to say what's fair
He's done his duty all these years
In his mind the law's the law
But then at dusk she wades across
And he sees the hope thats in her eyes
Child with dreams of a brand new life
It's not his job to say what's right or wrong

They won't get through this bordertown
He turns 'em back, he stands his ground
But still they come, because they know
Somewhere the streets are paved with gold
Somewhere beyond the sound of this bordertown

As night falls over Mexico
He waits there as she comes ashore
Finished, there's a moment of faith
He turns his back and he walks away


Water Under The Bridge lyrics - Dan Seals

For the first time in a long time I saw her last night
I stood face to face with the love of my life
She laughed, and I smiled, and we talked for a while
I held her close as I told her goodbye

She said, "I'm sorry I hurt you the way that I did"
And I said, "Don't worry

It's just water under the bridge
Tears that I've already cried."
I couldn't tell her my love never died
It's just water under the bridge
The river just never runs dry.

You can never go back, it's been said many times
But I've never left in my heart and my mind
Though I've done my best to go on with my life
Those memories never stop flowing by,

Just like water the bridge
Tears that I've already cried
I 'll never tell her my love never died
It's just water under the bridge
The river just never runs dry.

No, you can't stop those feelings that flow deep inside
Just like water the bridge


Love On Arrival lyrics - Dan Seals

I just had to call, cause babe I got your letter
And I understood almost every line
You said T.L.C. is what you miss from me
You want back in my arms P.D.Q.
And ooh I love this game
Them three letters by your name L.O.A. what does that say?

She said ooh baby it's so simple
I did not mean to make it hard to understand
I've been gone so long
Want you to know I miss my man oh yes I do
And that message for you
Tells you what I'm gonna do when I get home oh yeah

L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
L.O.A. is what I'm gonna give to you
I've been countin' the days
I've been lonely, I've been blue (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
And now after all this time
I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you

I said ooh baby I do love you
And I'm always amazed the way we fit
And I T.G.I.F.
Thank God I found you when I did, oh yes I do
Them three letters by your name
I will just give you just the same
When you get home, oh yes I will

L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
L.O.A. is what I'm gonna give to you
I've been countin' the days
I've been lonely, I've been blue (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
And now after all this time
I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you

I don't need no confirmation
I get it right here in my land
Don't need no translation
You done spelled it out with words
That I can understand L.O.A.
ooh ooh ooh, L.O.A.

L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you (Love on arrival)
L.O.A. is what I'm gonna give to you
I've been countin' the days

For you (Love on arrival)
And now after all this time
I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
For you

And now after all this time
I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)



A Heart In Search Of Love lyrics - Dan Seals

Girl on the street, can't be more than fifteen
Street is cold, but home was mean
She works hard, but she don't charge much

Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love
Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love

He sits in his car outside a bar room door
Thinks about a girl he doesn't know anymore
Pulls on a bottle to work his courage up.

Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love
Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love

Oh now, maybe you and me, we got somethin'
And it gets us through the night.
But when we're holding each other
And there's only the silence
We both wish it was somthing it isn't quite

Sometimes I hear soft crying
I reach out to you
Oh, I feel like cryin' too

Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love
Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love

Sits in her room, outside the rain is falling
She's got a phone, but you know he ain't callin'
Just another married man that's all he was.

Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love
Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love
Nothing hurts like a heart in search of love



Lonestar lyrics - Dan Seals

Lonestar is fading into the shadows
Standing there waiting for something to say
But she's so impatient she might not see him
The chance of a lifetime could be slipping away

Standing alone, he wears his freedom
He's seen it before, the sun going down in her eyes
His heart is his own, a lonely companion
As true as the wind and the deep purple sky

Now lonestar is grieving, but she doesn't notice
She's laughing and dancing with some Romeo
But out of the bright lights there's one lonely cowboy
With nothing to hold him, and nowhere to go

Standing alone, he wears his freedom
He's seen it before, the sun going down in her eyes
His heart is his own, a lonely companion
As true as the wind and the deep purple sky

Now lonestar is fading into the shadows

Game Of Love lyrics - Dan Seals

He walked his sweetheart down the aisle
You should have seen his mama cry
She was the only girl for him
And he would never, never leave her side

And daddy sends them the money down
To build a castle in the sky
Just like a magazine romance
A springtime honeymoon in France

Soon comes the bouncin' baby boy
And he's the apple of her eye
A custom-made recipe for joy
A gift that money couldn't buy
But Bobby's staying out late at night
And Mary's drinkin' on the sly

Is this some world that I'm dreaming of?
Is there somebody above?
Teach us to play the game of love.

Pushing and pullin', tears on the pillow
Digging in deeper each day
She wants his lovin', he says she's changin'
and slipping away
Who needs the heartache of staying together?
Let's call it a day.

Some people say right from the start
That love is just a foolish game
And when we end up against the wall
To find somebody else to blame
But if the loser gets the broken heart
How come the winner gets the same?
The winner get the same.
We just pick up the house of cards
So we can do it all again.

Is this some world that I'm dreaming of?
Is there somebody above?
Teach us to play the game of love.

Teach us to play the game of love.

Big Wheels In The Moonlight lyrics - Dan Seals

I came from a town that was so small
You look both ways, you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out
Every evening I'd slip into town

And stand around by the caution light
And watch the big trucks rolling by
For me it was a beautiful sight
Big wheels in the moonlight

I had a case of wanderlust
I'd lie awake with the windows up
Out on Highway Fifty Nine
I could hear some big old diesel whine

She was going through all the gears
And headed out to who knows where
I fell asleep 'most every night
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

How I got here, it's hard to say
So many things got in my way
Can't complain about all I've got
Kids and a wife and a regular job

But at night when I'm sitting here
All alone in a living room chair
Sometimes I close my eyes
And see big wheels in the moonlight

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

And I want to put my life on the centerline
And I want to see the world before I die
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

'Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind

They Rage On lyrics - Dan Seals

She's a small town girl with no room to grow
And he's a reckless boy with no where to go
They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly
So he parks the car and she holds him tight

And they rage on some how searching for the answers
In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone
They rage on

On the same dark night two more people meet
In a rented room on a cross town street
And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams
But for a while they feel like they used to feel

And they rage on
Against the lives that this world gave them
Hoping something's there to save them
They rage on rage on

And somewhere between right and wrong
In the grey between dusk and dawn
They tell themselves they're not alone
Cause they rage on

And they rage on some how searching for the answers
In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone
They rage on

They rage on against the lives that this life gave them
Hoping something's there to save them
They rage on they rage on



Five Generations Of Rock County Wilsons lyrics - Dan Seals

It seemed like overnight the town of Red River
Was suddenly full of strange men
They wore suits in the Summer stood on the dirt roads
Trying to hold their maps in the wind
Some of them smiled and some of them didn't,
None of them came back again
After five generations of Rock Country Wilsons and
The last fifty acres apparently didn't mean
A damn thing to them

I stood on the hill overlooking Red River
Where my mama and her mama lay
And I listened to the growling of the big diesel cats
As they tore up the woods where I played
I said mama forgive me I'm almost glad that you're not here today
After five generations of Rock County Wilsons
To see the last fifty acres in the hands of somebody
Who would actually blow it away

You know the bus station in the town of Red River
Used to be the general store
But now they've got a new one I know that's okay
If a bus is what you're looking for
So early one morning when the sun got red
I got up with the dawn
After five generations of Rock County Wilsons
The last one just climbed on a big ole gray dog
And was gone


Twenty-Four Hour Love lyrics - Dan Seals

I am just a simple man,
Don’t have much to offer
Just these two hard working hands
And a heart that will not falter
Never been that good at saying what I feel inside
Oh but if I could I would have you by my side

'Cause around the clock no matter what I do,
All I’m thinkin' about is you
All day long and the night time too
I’ve got a 24 hour love for you

Never found one single thing that I could not handle
But I never laid my eyes on a girl that could hold a candle
All the things my take home pay won’t buy that you deserve
A bunch of things I’d like to say but I never find the nerve

'Cause around the clock no matter what I do,
All I’m thinkin' about is you
All day long and the night time too
I’ve got a 24 hour love for you

Oh, I have to admit it
Till I get you along again
Oh, it’s never enough, never enough
I don’t want it to end

'Cause around the clock no matter what I do,
All I’m thinkin' about is you
All day long and the night time too
I’ve got a 24 hour love for you

'Cause around the clock no matter what I do,
All I’m thinkin' about is you
All day long and the night time too
I’ve got a 24 hour love for you
24 hour

There I go again
Still thoughts of you (24 hour)
Oh it’s never enough, never enough...
(24 hour)


Factory Town lyrics - Dan Seals

Billy came by this morning
And we could tell there was something wrong
He said the union called him
We stay together and we'll be strong
We'll be strong

Gonna shut down this factory town
There ain't gonna be no work around
They're gonna shut down this factory town
And I don't know how long we can hold on
Before it's gone

Now I don't know the problems
I just work hard on the line
And I don't know the owner
The whistle blows at quitting time
And now I find

Gonna shut down this factory town
There ain't gonna be no work around
They're gonna shut down this factory town
And I don't know how long, we can hold on

They say it's too late to talk it over (yeah)
That's the word out on the street
Now I don't have any answers
But if we don't work, we don't eat

They're gonna shut down this factory town
There ain't gonna be no work around
They're gonna shut down this factory town
And I don't know how long, we can hold on

They're gonna shut down
They're gonna shut down this factory town
And I don't know how long, we can hold on

Addicted lyrics - Dan Seals

She says she hates to sleep alone, but she'll do it tonight
She wants to grab her telephone, but she knows it ain't right
So if he don't call, she'll survive
So if he don't care, she'll get by
Climb into bed, bury her head, and cry

From the beginning he was all anyone could've been
They were delirious with love, they were certain to win
Now he's breaking plans more and more
And he's leaving notes on her door
Took a trip out of town, couldn't turn this one down
He said I guess I should have told you before

She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing
Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring
She knows she bounces like a yo-you when he pulls her string
It hurts to feel like such a fool
She wants to tell him not to call or come around again
He doesn't need her now at all, the way that she needs him
She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in
And she don't know which was to move oh no

She wants to be fair
She couldn't say he was ever unkind
But if she could bear to walk away, she thinks he wouldn't mind
Cause he just keeps himself so apart
And there's no one else in her heart
So she's taking a dive from an emotional high and coming down hard

She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing
Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring
She knows she bounces like a yo-you when he pulls her string
It hurts to feel like such a fool
She wants to tell him not to call or come around again
He doesn't need her now at all, the way that she needs him
She's on the edge about to fall from leaning out and in
And she don't know which was to move oh no

She says she feels like she's addicted to a real bad thing
Always sitting, waiting, wondering if the phone will ring
She knows she bounces like a yo-you when he pulls her string
It hurts to feel like such a fool
She don't know which way to move
It hurts to feel like such a fool



Those lyrics - Dan Seals

Those well off and who have everything
Could help those who have nothing at all
And those that are up and feeling stronger now
Could help those who are about to fall

Then the world would be a better place for living
More forgiving, everyday
If those that have learned how to hold their own
Could help those who are slipping away

Those that have loved and lost everything
Could help those who have never loved at all
Those that are free now no longer feel the pain
Could help those who are still behind the wall

Then the world would be a better place for living
More forgiving, everyday
If those that have learned how to hold their own
Could help those who are slipping away

Sometimes I feel I'm slipping away

Three Time Loser lyrics - Dan Seals

I remember when I was back in school
The teachers always wanted me to learn the rules
But I was studyin' girls on Friday night
I said if I could learn this, everything's gonna be alright

You see, first time love, I was too young
Second time, I was left holdin' on
Third time's a charm, but I got burned
Three time loser will never learn

I grew up and I thought that things would change
Got more mature, but I guess we stay the same
But I still believe in a starry night
And I keep on waitin' for the one that will turn out right

You see, first time love, I was too young
Second time, I was left holdin' on
Third time's a charm, but I got burned
Three time loser will never learn

Been down one time
Been down two times
Been down three times, burned
First time loser, second time user
Third time, you'd think that I would learn
But I won't learn

Been down one time
Been down two times
Been down three times, burned
First time loser, second time user
Third time, you'd think that I would learn
But I won't learn

First time love, I was too young
Second time, I was left holdin' on
Third time's a charm, but I got burned
Three time loser will never learn

First time, I was too young
Second time, I was left holdin' on
Third time's a charm, but I got burned
Three time loser will never learn

I Will Be There lyrics - Dan Seals

We have known each other for us long
We are most like one
And the ties of our love are so strong
They could never be undone

But if you should ever get restless
Just remember where ever you go

In every smile, every face
Any time, any place
I will be there
Like a light in the dark
When you look in your heart
You'll stop and stare
And I will be there

There are times when you may get lonely
Feeling lost on your own
But if there's one thing this love has shown me
We are never alone
And no matter how far away you are
My love follows you

In every smile, every face
Any time, any place
I will be there
Like a light in the dark
When you look in your heart
You'll stop and stare
And I will be there

On a cold night, in the moonlight
When you're dreamin', and when you rise in the sunrise
Baby, I swear I will be there
Cause no matter how far away you are
My love follows you

In every smile, every face
Any time, any place
I will be there
Like a light in the dark
When you look in your heart
You'll stop and stare
And I will be there

I will be there, any time, I will be there

On a cold night, in the moonlight and when you rise, in the sunrise
Baby I will be there


You Still Move Me lyrics - Dan Seals

I've often wondered what would I do
If I found you alone like this
Would I remember
What I've got at home
Or forget it all with your kiss
'Cause when you left me
I was hurtin' so
She picked me up off the ground
And I do love her, I want you to know
That I never want to let her down

But you still move me
Though I'd never let her know
There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go
And every time I hold her in my arms
Or look into her eyes
I wonder this time, does it show
'Cause you still move me

I guess I'd better leave now
Before it's too late
Before these feelings go too far
But I had to see you
Just one more time
'Cause it's been tearing me apart
'Cause you still move me
And I wonder how much longer can this go on
The feelin' wrong, I know it's wrong
And I don't know which way to turn
Here with you, or home with her

But you still move me
Though I'd never let her know
There's a place inside of me that just won't let you go
And every time I hold her in my arms
Or look into her eyes
I wonder this time, does it show
'Cause you still move me
'Cause you move me, God you move me


Lullaby lyrics - Dan Seals

Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms
And I will close my eyes
Please, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams
You`ll be there by my side

Love, if you say you won't slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won't rest until
I know that you`ll be here in the morning by my side

Here in my reach
I can see the one that I've waited for so long
And deep in my heart I`ll know the arms that hold me now
Will hold me from now on

I dread the dawn I awake and find you gone
Please tell me you will stay
Then sleep will come, I know my love has found a home
In your arms all my days

Headin' West lyrics - Dan Seals

I got a hundred dollar bill in my right boot
I've been saving for a rainy day
I got a tank full of gas in the pickup
A suitcase and the guitar that I play

Something's telling me it's time for moving
And I've never been the one to sit and wait
I'm gonna hit that state line in a freedom state of mind
Never looking back the other way

Headin' west, another town, another place, headin' west
With the sunshine in my face
Leaving bad times behind me, about to moving on
I've got everything I own, I'm headin' west

I've thinking about leaving for a long time
And there ain't nothing standing in my way
I've got time and a half check a-coming
From a job I was working 'til today

And here is no one here to meet me in the morning
And there is nobody begging me to stay
And by sundown tonight I'll be rolling out of sight
Long gone and nothing left to say

Headin' west, another town, another place, headin' west
With the sunshine in my face
Leaving bad times behind me, about to moving on
I've got everything I own, I'm headin' west

Headin' west, another town, another place, headin' west
With the sunshine in my face
Leaving bad times behind me, about to moving on
I've got everything I own, I'm headin' west

Heading west, heading west
Leaving bad times behind me, about to moving on
I've got everything I own, I'm heading west

I Won't Be Blue Anymore lyrics - Dan Seals

I won't be blue anymore
I'll go out on the town
And I'll take all my friends
Every honky tonk around
And they'll help me forget you
And the way it used to be
Then I won't be blue anymore

The only friends I've got now
Since you've been gone
Two arms that used to hold you
And the heart that surely broke
And the mind that sometimes wonders 'bout my sanity
So they made me make this promise to me

I won't be blue anymore
I'll go out on the town
And I'll take all my friends
Every honky tonk around
And they'll help me forget you
And the way it used to be
Then I won't be blue anymore

My friends are always with me
Even when I'm alone
They watch over and protect me
'Cause they know how far I've gone
They're the only ones that care now
And they knew that they could help
So they made me make this promise to myself

I won't be blue anymore
I'll go out on the town
And I'll take all my friends
Every honky tonk around
And they'll help me forget you
And the way it used to be
Then I won't be blue anymore
No, I won't be blue anymore


Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold) lyrics - Dan Seals

Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Phoenix
Guess you're still the sweet heart of the rodeo
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still asks about you all the time
And I guess we never even cross your mind

But oh sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

Well old Red he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go
Little Casey she's still growing and she's started asking questions
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know
Her birthday came and you never even called
I guess we never cross your mind at all

But then sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

Everybody said you'd make it big someday
And I guess that we were only in your way
But someday I'm sure your gonna know the cost
Cause for everything you win there's something lost

But oh sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

Tobacco Road lyrics - Dan Seals

I was born in a dump
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow
In the middle of Tobacco Road

But it's home the only life I've ever known
But the Lord knows how I loathe it so
Tobacco Road

I'm gonna leave and get me a job
With the help and the grace from up above
Make some money get rich I know
And bring it back to Tobacco Road

Cause you're home the only life I've ever known
But the Lord knows how I loathe it so
Tobacco Road

I bring dynamite and a crane
I blow it up and start all over again
I build a town be proud to show
Keep the name of Tobacco Road

Cause you're home the only life I've ever known...
Tobacco Road Tobacco Road

You Plant Your Fields lyrics - Dan Seals

My father said some things you learn
By only doing when it comes your turn
Everything comes around so be ready if you can
Prepare your heart like the farmer turns the land

And you plant your fields when the spring is tender
When the summer beats down you pray for rain
You hope for the harvest the long cold winter
And then you plant your fields again

He spoke right to my restless soul
Still wild and hungry and beyond control
For all that you dream there's a time and a place
But you won't know it till it comes your way

And you plant your fields when the spring is tender...

When the spring is tender
When the summer beats down you pray for rain
You hope for the harvest and the long cold winter
And then you plant your fields again

(You plant your fields) your fields again
(You plant your fields) your fields again
(You plant your fields) your fields again
(You plant your fields) your fields again

Meet Me In Montana lyrics - Dan Seals

Wrote my whole life down in a notebook
Songs about you and me
I've been singing to every soul in Tennessee
Nobody seems to listen
No one ever smiles the way that you do
So I guess you'll never hear me on the radio
I'd give up this crazy dream of mine
To hold you once more

Won't you meet me in Montana
I want to see the mountains
In your eyes
Oh! Oh! I've had all of this life I can handle
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky

I left home for Hollywood
Looking for a part to play
You always said I had such a pretty face
But I guess I'm not that pretty
'Cause no one looks at me
The way that you do
Well, you'll always be a movie star to me
Darling now I guess it's time that I let go of that dream

Won't you meet me in Montana
I want to see the mountains
In your eyes
Oh! Oh! I've had all of this life I can handle
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky

Well, we're stuck here in these hills
That they call mountains
But Darling back home in your arms
Is right where I wanna be

Won't you meet me in Montana
I want to see the mountains
In your eyes
Oh! Oh! I've had all of this life I can handle
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky



Bop lyrics - Dan Seals

Put on your bobby socks baby
Roll up your old blue jeans
There's a band playing down at the armory
That's what rock and roll really means

I wanna to ride in your 55 T-bird
Drive thru some old memories
I ain't after your body baby
I just want you to dance with me

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna bop the night away
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
When our hearts were young
And our souls were free
I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna bop with you baby all night long

I got an old photograph in my pocket
We were still in our teens
Lord, knows I feel a lot older now
But you still look the same to me

Honey, you don't ever laugh like you use to
And I don't wanna see you blue
If you may busy tonight and ya think it's all right
This is what I wanna do

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna bop the night away
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
Oh when our hearts so young and free
I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna bop with you baby all night long

Lets twist and shout
Oh, Just like in the good old days
Baby, watch out
You know I just can't stand it
When you look at me that way

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna bop with you baby all night
I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
When our hearts were young
And our souls were free

I wanna bop with you baby all night long
I wanna be-bop baby til the break of dawn
I wanna make it a night like it use to be
When our hearts were young and free

City Kind Of Girl lyrics - Dan Seals

I'm just a country boy
I'm used to starry nights
She's metropolitan
She's used to neon lights
She loves the Gucci scene
I love my own blue jeans

Everybody says she's not my kind
She's a city kind of girl
Says she's only playing with my mind
She's a city kind of girl

I love the way she walks
She loves the way I talk
I love the fancy style
She loves how I drive her wild

Maybe I'm a crazy boy
But I know when the feeling's right
I got her going fishing now
She's got me climbing higher and higher
She loves to bait my hooks
I love to read her books

Everybody says she's not my kind
She's a city kind of girl
Says she's only playing with my mind
She's a city kind of girl

I love the way she walks
She loves the way I talk
I love the fancy style
She loves how I drive her wild

I love the way she walks
She loves the way I talk
I love the fancy style
She loves how I drive her wild

In San Antone lyrics - Dan Seals

Doorman he counts his tips
Jamaican lady paints her lips
And they say they'll both be there
If I need 'im
Taxi driver's a wreckless breed
The down and out express their need
Sometimes I don't know why I stay on Broadway

Radio and a Panama hat
Cop says, Kid, where'd you get that?
And they go off into the night a runnin'
A tiny stage in a neon bar
I pick up my old guitar
And play another country song on Broadway

But in San Antone, I'm a star tonight
To one fan that's waiting
With lovin' arms to hold me tonight
When I get back home, to San Antone
San Antone

Big cigar and limousine
A man of independent means
From the other side of town is listenin'
They say he's a record man
To give this boy a helping hand
I never knew it could be so hard on Broadway

But in San Antone, I'm a star tonight
To one fan that's waiting
With lovin' arms to hold me tonight
When I get back home, to San Antone
San Antone

Hotel room on the seventh floor
Somebody's lying against the door
I don't think I can take much more of Broadway

But in San Antone, I'm a star tonight
To one fan that's waiting
With lovin' arms to hold me tonight
When I get back home, to San Antone
San Antone



My Baby's Got Good Timing lyrics - Dan Seals

I was lost and all alone
An empty heart without a home
Just at the time when I needed a friend
She came along and she took me in

And every time I'm feeling down
When the world closes in somehow
Just in the moment when I need her the most
She comes to me and she holds me close

My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing

In the night when the world is quiet
And she's lying here by my side
When it's her sweet love I need
That's the moment when she comes to me

My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing

And when she loves me
She always loves me right on time
When she holds me she's, oh, so close
I can feel her heart beat with mine

My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing

My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing

My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing

My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing
My baby's got good timing

(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me lyrics - Dan Seals

Our friends all think I am a gentle man
By the clothes that I wear, the things I say
But when I hold you in my arms
There's a feeling you set free
You bring out the wild side of me

I thought I knew what love was all about
And I made all the moves so carefully
When I'm with you, I do some things
I never thought I'd do or see
'Cause you bring out the wild side of me

No one's there to notice
When the change comes over me
When I kiss your sweet lips
And hold you tenderly
No one sees the stranger
That this simple man can be
When you bring out the wild side of me

You always seem to know what's on my mind
And you're everything I'll ever need
And when that love light's in your eyes
There's no place I'd rather be
'Cause you bring out the wild side of me

No one's there to notice
When the change comes over me
When I kiss your sweet lips
And hold you tenderly
No one sees the stranger
That this simple man can be
When you bring out the wild side of me

My Old Yellow Car lyrics - Dan Seals

She weren't much to look at, she weren't much to ride
She was missing a window on her passenger side
The floorboard was patched up with paper and tar
But I really was something in my old yellow car

An American boy with his hands on the wheel
Of a dream that was made of American steel
Though the seats had the smell of a nickel cigar
I really was something in my old yellow car

Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel
There's a rusty old shell of an automobile
And if engines could run on desires alone
That old yellow car would be driving me home

There's the seat where poor Billy threw up on his date
And where Larry and Sandy could no longer wait
There was no road too winding and nowhere too far
With two bucks of gas and my old yellow car

Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel
Thee's a rusty old shell of an automobile
And if engines could run on desires alone
That old yellow car would be driving me home

Take a look at me now throwing money around
I'm paying somebody to drive me downtown
Got a Mercedes Benz with a TV and bar
And God I wish I was driving my old yellow car

God I wish I was driving my old yellow car

She Thinks I Still Care lyrics - Dan Seals

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care

Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memories of her linger everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care

But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Well let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Ah, where would she get such an idea

Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care, she thinks I still care

One Friend lyrics - Dan Seals

I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will
I always felt that we were blessed
And I feel that way still
Sometimes we took the hard road
But we always saw it through

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Sometimes the world was on our side
Sometimes it wasn't fair
Sometimes it gave a helping hand
Sometimes we didn't care

'Cause when we were together
It made the dream come true

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out
And helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out
And helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

You Really Go For The Heart lyrics - Dan Seals

I saw you, and right then and there I knew
I didn't have a prayer
You made the move like a thief in the night, so smooth
You had the time just right

Oh, I fell fast and hard
Once you make your mind up

You really go for the heart
I couldn't help but love you, babe
You take the feeling all the way
That's the way you are
Do you want somebody?
You really go for the heart
You really go for the heart

Burnin' eyes, so tenderly hypnotized
When you look at me, hold me close
Now I'm a part of you, heaven knows
That your aim was true

'Cause I fell fast and hard
Once you make your mind up

You really go for the heart
I couldn't help but love you, babe
You take the feeling all the way
That's the way you are
Do you want somebody?
You really go for the heart

You really go for the heart
I couldn't help but love you, babe
You take the feeling all the way
That's the way you are
Do you want somebody?

You really go for the heart
I couldn't help but love you, babe
You take the feeling all the way
That's the way you are
Do you want somebody?

You really go for the heart
I couldn't help but love you, babe
You take the feeling all the way
That's the way you are
Do you want somebody?


After You lyrics - Dan Seals

I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will
I always thought that we were blessed
And I feel that way still
Sometimes we took the hard road
But we always saw it through

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Sometimes the world was on our side
Sometimes it wasn't fair
Sometimes it gave a helping hand
Sometimes we didn't care

'Cause when we were together
It made the dream come true

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Someone who understands me
And knows me inside out
Helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you

Someone
And knows me inside out
Helps keep me together
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain
Someone to tell it to

If I had only one friend left
I'd want it to be you



Everybody's Dream Girl lyrics - Dan Seals

When she walks in the room, everybody gets quiet
You can hear hearts start beating inside
And the way that she moves
You just can't deny it
They all wish that they could hold her
You can see it in their eyes

She's everybody's dream girl
Everybody's dream girl
Everybody's dream girl
I'll see you in my dreams tonight

Well, I woke up this morning
Found that determined
That today was gonna be the day
And I gathered all my courage
Walked right up to her
I stumbled and I fumbled for the right words to say

She's everybody's dream girl
Oh, everybody's dream girl
I got to make her mine
Everybody's dream girl
I'll see you in my dreams tonight

One way or another
Gonna tell her that I love her
I keep trying every day
'Til I find a way

Everybody's dream girl
Oh, she's everybody's dream girl
I wanna make her mine
Everybody's dream girl
I'll see you in my dreams tonight

She's everybody's dream girl
I got to find a way
Everybody's dream girl
Maybe today's the day
Everybody's dream girl
Everybody's dream girl

Candle In The Rain lyrics - Dan Seals

Girl, you are a bird that flies away
As I'm reaching out to take you in my hand
At first, I believe your gonna stay
And I think I under stand

You have shown me all your colors
Long enough to feel the pain
Then you leave me helpless
Like a candle n the rain

Girl, you are a wind that's blowing free
And you leave the dust of wanting in my eyes
Faith, I thought you were here for me
Just to clear my cloudy skies

You are moving here within me
long enough to feel the pain
Then you leave me stranded
Like a candle in the rain

I don't think I will ever heal
From the scars you left on me
How can one hold on so long
And let go so easily

You showed me all your colors
Long enough to feel the pain
Then you leave me helpless
Like a candle in the rain

God Must Be A Cowboy lyrics - Dan Seals

A campfire, some coffee
From a tin cup in my hand
Sure warms the fingers when it's cold...
aplayin' an old guitar
A friend I understand
Sure smoothes the wrinkles in my soul...

Asleepin' in the moonlight
A blanket for my bed
Leaves a peaceful feelin' in my mind...
Wakin' up in the mornin'
With an eagle overhead
Makes me want to fly away before my time

And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
He made wide open spaces from the start...
He made grass and trees and mountains
And a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain...

Night life and big cities
Is alright for awhile
Sure makes you feel good when you're there...
But the country's so pretty
It goes on and on for miles takes away my troubles and my cares...

And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
He made wide open spaces from the start...
He made grass and trees and mountains
And a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home a-gain...

And trails to lead old cowboys home again.

I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love Again lyrics - Dan Seals

I believe the glory of love and its beginnings
Can change your world overnight
And I have seen the splendor
And the magic of the moment
When I realize this time, it’s right

And I have heard the promise of always and forever
And overlooked the chance that it could in
And I have seen the sorrow
And the heartache when it’s over
And I don't believe I’ll fall in love again

Where does it go
And why does it leave you, I don't know
No, I don’t know
And how can it take you up so high
And leave you all alone

I believe that people
Will always cling together
In the long, long lonely night
And though I know tomorrow
Will somehow still be brighter
I don't believe I'll fall in love again
No, I don't believe I'll fall in love again

Late At Night lyrics - Dan Seals

Darlin' don't you call me
Until the sun is goin' down
And don't expect to hear from me
'Til the evenin' comes around

Find yourself a daytime friend
To walk you through the park
'Cause you know I'm just comin' alive
When the sky starts gettin' dark, mmm

You're the kind of woman
That likes to be impressed
All I need's one chance to prove
To do what I do best

You can find another man
To spend your afternoons
But he can't do what I can do
In the light of a lover's mood

You gotta wait for
Late at night
Keep on waitin' for
Late at night

You'll be glad you stayed up
To find out what it's like
Late at night

Hold on
The sun is almost gone
Starlight
I love to see shinin' in your eyes

Ain't no use to fight it
And change the way I am
Don't you see I'll always be
A nighttime lovin' man

So when the evenin' finds you, baby
Feelin' all alone
That's when you need a man like me
To love you all night long

Keep waitin' for
Late at night
Keep on waitin' for
Late at night

You'll be glad you stayed up
To find out what it's like
Late at night
Keep on waitin' for late at night
I keep on waitin' for late at night

You'll be glad you stayed up
To find out what it's like
Late at night


Love Me Like The Last Time lyrics - Dan Seals

Oh my love, now that you're here by me
I can see it in your eyes that the feeling is growing
This old world is so full of uncertainties
And as hard as we both try, we don't know where it's going

So love me like the last time
We could ever be together
Let's make it like the last time
As if this world wouldn't be here tomorrow

There are times when we tell ourselves we're safe
And it's so easy to believe it will be never ending
But I know even though we feel this way
There can be no guarantee in a world that keeps changing

So love me like the last time
We could ever be together
Let's make it like the last time
As if this world wouldn't be here tomorrow
Forever and always

We got to live each moment
As if the chance may never come again
And If tomorrow it falls, then tomorrow it falls
It won't matter at all, it won't matter at all

Love me like the last time
We could ever be together
Let's make it like the last time
As if this world wouldn't be here
As if this world wouldn't be here tomorrow

Love me like the last time
As If We could never be together again
Let's make it like the last time
As if this world wouldn't be here
As if this world wouldn't be here tomorrow

Love me like the last time
As If We could never be together again
Let's make it like the last time
As if this world wouldn't be here
As if this world wouldn't be here tomorrow


Getting To The Point lyrics - Dan Seals

How many lies have you told just to keep me around?
And how many hearts have you broke in the lost and found?
Oh, you came to me
Like a storm from out of the sea
Was it so wrong to try and make our love last endlessly?

And I was getting to the point
Of thinking you were coming back again
And we'd start all over again

I felt misled
When I heard that people renew
And every time I turned my back
You were so untrue
Oh, what kind of love do you need to be satisfied?
And why do I miss you so
With all of your love and all of your lies

And I was getting to the point
Of thinking you were coming back again
And we'd start all over again
Yes, I was getting to the point
Of thinking you were coming back again
Coming back again
And we'd start all over again

You left me alone
Without a warning
Again, you left me alone
Without a smile
And why does our love have to be
Why does our love have to be so haunting?
And what do I have to do
To make it worth your while?

And I was getting to the point
Of thinking you were coming back again
Coming back again
And we'd start all over again
Yes, I was getting to the point
Of thinking you were coming back again
Coming back again
And we'd start all over again

And I was getting to the point
Of thinking you were coming back again
Coming back again
And we'd start all over

Thinking you were coming back
Thinking you were coming back


You Could've Been The One lyrics - Dan Seals


There’s a bright light that’s shinin’ in your face
You can’t even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel and you’re out of place
At this downtown devil’s bar

Do you wanna dance, girl?
You said “no, thanks”
And I watched you drift away
Well, you had your chance

You could’ve been the one
Tonight you could’ve been the only one
For the rest of my life
I’ll be dreamin’ of you when this dance is done
Knowin’ you could’ve been the one

If I come back here I might see you again
And maybe you’d say “yes”
But it’s a losin’ game that I’m tryin’ to win
And I can only guess

Do you have somebody
Who watches you as you let down your hair
By the light of the moon

You could’ve been the one
Tonight you could’ve been the only one
For the rest of my life
I’ll be dreamin’ of you when this dance is done
Knowin’ you could’ve been the one
Knowin’ you could’ve been the one

Do you wanna dance, girl?
You said “no, thanks”
And I watched you drift away
Well, you had your chance

You could’ve been the one
Tonight you could’ve been the only one
For the rest of my life
I’ll be dreamin’ of you when this dance is done
Knowin’ you could’ve been the one

Tonight you could’ve been the only one
For the rest of my life
I’ll be dreamin’ of you when this dance is done
Knowin’ you could’ve been the one...


Lullaby lyrics - Dan Seals

Sleep, lay me down, hold me closely in your arms
And I will close my eyes
Please, promise me that when I wake up from my dreams
You`ll be there by my side

Love, if you say you won't slip away
Then I can go dreaming of forever more
But I won't rest until
I know that you`ll be here in the morning by my side

Here in my reach
I can see the one that I've waited for so long
And deep in my heart I`ll know the arms that hold me now
Will hold me from now on

I dread the dawn I awake and find you gone
Please tell me you will stay
Then sleep will come, I know my love has found a home
In your arms all my days

Ball And Chain lyrics - Dan Seals

You're like fire and ice
Oh you love me so good
But you don't think twice about leaving me here
I get use to you gone
Then you tell me you care
And I got to find a way to get you
To commit to me
Oh can't you see?

Like a ball and chain around my neck
You weigh me down but I'm not ready yet
To give you up and face the pain
I'd rather wear a ball and chain

I've never been touched this way
And I give you my all but I want you to say you need more than my time
Oh you say you'll be here
But your still not mine
And I want you give your love oh to only me
Oh can't you see

Like a ball and chain around my neck
You weigh me down but I'm not ready yet
To give you up and face the pain
I'd rather wear a ball and chain

Oh they say that all good things will come to those who wait
But the more I wait the more I wonder
Am I holding a love going nowhere?

Like a ball and chain around my neck
You weigh me down but I'm not ready yet
To give you up and face the pain
I'd rather wear a ball and chain

Like a ball and chain around my neck
You weigh me down but I'm not ready yet
To give you up and face the pain
I'd rather wear a ball and chain

Rather wear a ball and chain

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight lyrics - Dan Seals

(originally by England Dan & John Ford Coley)

Hello, yeah it's been awhile
Not much how 'bout you?
I'm not sure why I called
Guess I really just wanted to talk to you

And I was thinking maybe later on
We could get together for awhile
It's been such a long time
And I really do miss your smile

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

We could go walking through a windy park
Or take a drive along the beach
Or stay a home and watch TV
You see it really doesn't matter much to me

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

I won't ask for promises
So you won't have to lie
We've both played this game before
Say I love you
Say goodbye

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't want to change your life
But there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
And I'd really love to see you tonight

L.O.A. (Love On Arrival) lyrics - Dan Seals

I just had to call, cause babe I got your letter
And I understood almost every line
You said T.L.C. is what you miss from me
You want back in my arms P.D.Q.
And ooh I love this game
Them three letters by your name L.O.A. what does that say?

She said ooh baby it's so simple

I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)

Love Is The Answer lyrics - Dan Seals

(originally by Utopia)

Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a short cut I'd have found it
But there is no easy way around it.

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely,lonely world
People turn their heads
And walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Tell me, are we alive
Or just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers

And when you feel afraid
Love one another
When you've lost your way
Love one another
And when you're all alone
Love one another
And when you're far from home
Love one another
And when you're down and out
Love one another
And when your hopes run out
Love one another
And when you need a friend
Love one another
And when you're near the end
Love, we got to love,
We got to love one another

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Nights Are Forever Without You lyrics - Dan Seals

(originally by England Dan & John Ford Coley)

Lying in bed with the radio on
Moonlight falls like rain
Soft summer nights spent thinking of you
When will I see you again

Soft and low the music moans
I can't stop thinking about you
Thinking 'bout you

I didn't know it would be so strong
Waiting and wondering about you
I didn't know it would last so long
Nights are forever without you

Curtains still dance with the wind and the sky
The sun will be coming up soon
But I just can't sleep for thinking of you
Here alone with the moon

Soft and low the music moans
I can't stop thinking about you
Thinking 'bout you

I didn't know it would be so strong
Waiting and wondering about you
I didn't know it would last so long
Nights are forever without you
Nights are forever without you

Nights are forever without you
Nights are forever without you
Nights are forever without you

The Healin' Kind lyrics - Dan Seals

Starin' out the window at the sinkin' sun
Another painful day is done
If I could convince myself I was over you now
I'd find a way to go on somehow

But the pain just grows stronger everyday
I think of you and I'm on my way
Down Memory Lane with your hand in mine'
'Cause I'm just not the healin' kind

Another December and the cold winds blow
Nights without you are so long
I stare at our picture through the firelight's glow
Where you are right now I just don't know

But the pain just grows stronger everyday
I think of you and I'm on my way
Down Memory Lane with your hand in mine
Guess I'm just not the healin' kind
I'm just not the healin' kind
