RIDE LIKE THE WIND

It is the night
my body's weak
I'm on the run
No time for sleep
I've got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

And I've got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I'll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

I was born the son of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind with a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the churchbells rang
Never was the
kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old.


ALL RIGHT

I know, I know what's on your mind
And I know it gets tough sometimes
But you can give it one more try
Find a reason why
You should pick it up
And try it again

'Cause it's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might work out fine this time
It's all right
I think we're gonna make it
I think it might just work out
'Cause it's not too late for that
Too late for me (love)

I know I've been hurt before
And I know I really shouldn't give any more
But this time
This time things seem just a little different
And when I look in your eyes
You know I can see that it's true
And I hear you say it's all right

Just when you feel helpless
Nothing left to say
Love will find us
The past behind us
Then we're on our way

Time and time again I see
People so unsure like me
We all know it gets hard sometimes
You can give it one more try
Find another reason why
You should pick it up
You should kick it up
And try it again


SOMEDAY 

Here's a song for the hearts so lonely
The ones who feel that love won't come
Looking to find that one and only
I've got something to say to you

You see the lovers walking down the street
You feel your life's a little incomplete
I know what you mean and I'm here to tell you
Wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I would not lie

Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon
Save your love for someday, girl
Someday will come soon

You give your love away to someone new
Just so you can say that he belongs to you
You smile and you laugh and you talk of forever
I'm not so sure that it's true

Don't give up on love
Someday will come soon

After you've found that dream you treasure
After the chill has left the air
All of the pieces will come together
The things that two can share
But only time can take you there


LOVE IS LOVE (IN ANY LANGUAGE) 

Checkin' out the sand streets
Of this island town
Got my cold Dos Equis
Watchin' women brown
They call it Paradiso
It looks like paradise
And it's looking better all the time

Now I'm dancin' in the moonlight
The party's everywhere
It's all a sweet seduction
To the rhythm in the air
Local girls are talkin'
I hear their bodies say
This boy won't be leavin' lonely

It's je t'aime, it's amore
Te quiero, mi chica
If it's good you'll get the message
It's je t'aime, it's amore
Eu te amo
Love is love in any language

She caught my intention
When I caught her eye
We just started movin'
Never askin' why
Faded into passion
That girl and I
Love is love in any language

Let your heart talk to the girl
Love can take you 'round the world

Aloha wau in oe
If it's good you get the message
Love is love in any language

Nakupenda mno sana sana
When it's good you get the message
Aku chinta kamu
Love is love in any language

Ich liebe dich, mein fraulein
If it's good you get the message
Love is love in any language


WORDS OF WISDOM 

I can hear your voice and I have no choice
'Cause the pain is too deep inside
And the hurt of a love that is lost has no cure
But the love of another heart
Your friends try and say it will all get better
They say that they know how you feel
But your heart isn't sure 'cause it knows what it heard
All the things that it read in the letter

All the words of wisdom
Never seem to ease the pain
All the words of wisdom sound the same

All the lies of kindness
Oh that sweet refrain
But you pay the price for the joy that it brings
'Cause you hear the sound of her name
And the morning tries to save you
From the shadows of your heart
They dance and kiss as you reminisce
And it's tearing you apart


SAY YOU'LL BE MINE

Say you'll be mine
Say you'll be mine until the sun shines
Say you'll be mine
And bring me the dream of a lifetime

I just can't hide the truth no more
I've got to get my feet back down on the floor
I love you so
I need you so
I just don't think I can let you go

Well, it's you that keeps me feeling this way
I don't think I can take it even one more day
It don't seem right
That I should be alone tonight


SALING

It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can
Sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can
Find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it
Could be
Just a dream and the wind to
Carry me
And soon I will be free
    
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me

It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can
Sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me.


BEST THAT YOU CAN DO (ARTHUR'S THEME) 

Once in your life you'll find her
Someone that turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You´re closing down the town
Wake up and it´s still with you
Even though you left her way cross town
Wonderin´ to yourself
Hey what have I found

When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it´s crazy but it´s true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
Is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life his master´s toys
And deep in his heart he´s just
He´s just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He´s showing himself a pretty good time
He´s laughing about the way
They want him to be


ANY OLD TIME 

Everyone maybe once or twice
Finds a friend that's a friend for life
Somebody who believed in me like you
From those days of childhood fights
Through the nights when we'd ask advice
All of those times when nobody else would do

Any old time that you wanna hear from me
To find your way or kick around a memory
Like the old times
Any old time will do

I can tell when the telephone rings
It's gonna be you just to talk about things
It's funny how it seems to happen when you're on my mind
Every time good love goes bad
When I can't believe the luck I've had
All of those times I'm glad you're a friend of mine

Any old time that you need to call on me
To find your way or kick around those memories
Like the old times
Any old time will do

Don't you ever forget
Any old time when the road is getting rough to climb
And you think maybe you've had enough
Just like the old times
Any old time you're blue

All at once I went and got a hunch
Everything we ever felt was true
As we find the years behind us and we live the years ahead
Let's remember laughter and all the words we said

Make new friends and keep the old
One is silver and the other one's gold
Something Sally said that stuck in my head
And I never wanna let it go

Any old time that you need to lean on me
I'll be there -- you can dream on me
Just like the old times
Any old time will do


CHARM THE SNAKE 

You gotta be smart you gotta be cool
You gotta keep a straight face
When you're playin' the fool
You gotta wear a smile
When you're breakin' the rules
You gotta charm that snake now, baby

You gotta be smooth,you gotta be quick
I think it might just help
To be a little bit sick
You know the bite can't cut you
If the skin is thick
You gotta charm that snake now, baby

Hey, we ain't all good lookin'
Ain't no reason to take a good lickin'
The clock on the wall's
Gonna keep on tickin'
Charm that snake now, baby

Don't let go of it
Don't let go
You gotta charm that snake
You gotta charm that snake

One stripe, two stripes
What does it mean
The venom is lethal
But the meat is clean
The best take advantage of you like a machine
You gotta charm that snake now, maybe

Don't let the fingernails
Under the heart
If they get a good grip
They're gonna rip it apart
The first and last kisses
Are the dangerous part
You gotta charm that snake now, maybe

There's a hook in the bait
The first one made a mistake
If you've got what it takes
You better charm that snake
You gotta let it show
You ain't gonna let it go
I'm gonna let 'em know
I'm never gonna let it go


EVERY TURN OF THE WORLD 

We think about the loves we lost
Will it come again
We think of all the things we want
Will we ever win

We listen to the voice of children
Will they find their way
Keep an open heart
The answer to it all's a wish away

Never let the tears you're cryin' blind you
To the dream that's waitin' to find you
'Cause there's one more chance
With every turn of the world

Is it gold or glory
A taste of freedom
Or the strong warm touch of a body
There are all these things with every turn of the world

Human kindness -- diamond of the heart
Tearing down the old walls
As long as we can share
Desire's not a sin, after all

When you find yourself alone
Missing tender magic touching you
Keep an open heart
Everything you dream can still be true

We all want a world we can live in
We all want a world full of love
It's never too late
It's never too soon
Whatever you can do is enough


THAT GIRL 

I'm wakin' up in the same old way
But I can't shake me out of the dream
Every time that I close my eyes
I see her face
Like a star on a TV screen
They all keep askin'
Where you been after dark
I say
That kinda girl
She grows on a heart
And I know
It doesn't come any better

That girl
She makes me sing
She gives me things that only love can bring
That girl
She makes me sing

If you think
I'm losin' my cool
That's true
But I betcha'd do the same
If you felt the flame
Of her fire
She likes to make you
Crazy with love
And I let her
I know it doesn't come any better

I watch the guys
I see their eyes
I see their eyes as she walks by
She knows she's fine
I know she's mine
C-c-cuz she digs me
