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
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.
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
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
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
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)
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
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
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

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
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
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

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
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
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
