Destination Anywhere lyrics

She said baby our love’s just like your songs
The beat ain’t bad but the words are all wrong
It’s time to pack my bags, it’s time to just move on
She sang Johnny I’m gone, gone, gone
And she was gone

Me and Leigh met summer of ’95
In a burgundy dress lookin’ finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry
It's just because the words got in the way

Kids 'round here look just like sticks
trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove
Got the girls all dressed in black
serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting used to
The old man with the whiskey stains
lost the night and forgot his name
His poor wife was sleeping alone again
It ain't hard to understand
why she's holdin' on to her own hand

If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, Yeah

And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
I'd put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me

Ugly, Ugly, all of us
Just feel like that somedays
Ain't no rainbow in the sky

You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth

You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

I've been staring at the page for what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes ?
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried ?
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you (hey now)
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take

(J. Bon Jovi, R. Sambora, D. Bryan)
You want commitment
Take a look into these eyes
They burn with a fire, just for you now
Until the end of time
I would do anything
I'd beg, I'd steal, I'd die
To have you in these arms tonight
Baby I want you like the roses
Want the rain
You know I need you
Like a poet needs the pain
I would give anything
My blood my love my life

Hey babe, it's me parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old in this sleepy, dead-end town

Destination anywhere - Name the place, I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run

I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette, oh

Yeah, we've been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
I'll take my past and paint it black

Now this circus has left town
This clown has gotta get his feet back on the ground

When I promised you,
That I would be strong,
It was not a lie,
It was just that I was wrong

There's no way I'd ever guess,
I'd be so defenseless

*
I have walked against the wind,
I find shelter in my friends,
There's some comfort in the wine,
If I can sleep it buys me time,

I can duck out of the rain,
But there's no hiding from the truth,
I'm still naked to the pain,

I got my call light on, gimme one more fare tonight
Just get me over the bridge, I can see those shiny bay lights
You know I'm never alone but I'm feeling lonely tonight
Damn, I got my last cigarette but I ain't got no light

God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity

STARING AT YOUR WINDOW WITH A SUITCASE IN MY HAND

You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me ’cause you’ve seen every line of my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I’m saying is the truth
You need somebody, somebody to hold on to
But this ain’t the movies and we ain’t the heroes

[This song is dedicated to the memory of Katherine Korzilius.]
[Sometimes God calls His angels ... too soon.]

Ah...
It was another day
Perfect Texas afternoon
Mother and two children play
The way they always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
A mother and her son
Against a little girl of six years old
The independent one

Ah...
