Losing Carolina
1/ Woke up early morning with a coffee and cigarette.
Sunrise is really something, what else am I to do?
Pack my bags an threw 'em in the trunk,
turned the keys and started drivin'
and let the road show us something new.
2/ Soul searchin on the highway, with the radio turned right up
looking for my long lost cousin, tryin to find my spiritual home
there's a dust bowl in the distance
heading down my way
an let the storm blow right on by.
Chorus:
Excuse my igorance, where on earth is Carolina?
Got no geography in my mind.
I'm lost and I need some help
where on earth is Carolina?
I'm just tryin' to survive.
Instrumental break
3/ Saw the preacher and his children, praying up to the sky.
Asked him for the right direction, he said "son believe and you'll know",
I don't know if I want this lord
but I surely need some help,
in this world you need something to hold on to.
4/ Well, met this girl in this old small town, for an hour or two.
Started drinking and started foolin', she's the soulmate i've been lookin' for.
Come on girl on this great adventure,
from the east to the west,
an' let the road show us something new.
(Chorus)
Out ....

Julianna
1/
On the edge of sleepy town, lookin at the fall
another year goes slippin' by, waiting for your call
You said you would come back to me, once you'd seen the world
An' time keeps on rollin' by, without a word
Chorus:
An' I keep on wonderin, If I'll see you again
Oh Julianna, feels like I lost my best friend
2/
Other girls have come and gone, like ships in the night,
wandering like shadows, all through my life.
They don't seem real to me, you're all I see
an' oh Julianna, when will you come back to me.
Chorus
Insrumental
3/
Then one day, you finally came home, an you said hi!
at that moment I realized, I'd already said goodbye, goodbye
Double chorus:
An oh Julianna I finally let you go
An oh Julianna I said goodbye
An oh Julianna I finally let you go
An oh Julianna I said goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Pick up an out ..........

Those Days
1/ I lived by the river, that flowed to the sea
tide rising up an down leaving flotsam on the shore.
We kicked through the stones, my best friend and me
seeing what we could find, maybe some hidden treasure.
They were the best days, you and me.
2/ We played in the trees, got dirt on our knees
hot summers of innocence seemed to last forever.
They were the best days for you and me.
Chorus:
I wanna go back to those days.
I wanna go back to those days.
3/ As we reached our teens, in platforms and jeans,
we went our different ways but still we stayed together.
We were like brothers, we fought and scrapped,
but at the end of the day we turned and started to laugh.
They were the best days, you and me.
Chorus:
Ah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
They were the best days for you and me.
Ah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.
They were the best days for you and me.
Ah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah,
la la la la la la la you and me.
Ah, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah,
they were the best days for you and me.
They were the best days for you and me.
Oh yeah ....

It's too Late
1/
It's too late, to talk me round
you don't care, how I feel inside.
You come here preachin' love an' happiness
empty words, just said to impress.
2/
Don't you understand, what you're doin' to me
all your playin' around, baby can't you see?
Saying one thing, when you mean another
need time to think, sometime to recover
Vocal choral section
3/
Tears are running down, but they ain't for you.
Just mad with myself, for not thinking it through.
Picked myself up off the floor,
my spirits rise as I kicked out of the door
kicked you out of the door
kicked you right out that door
kicked you right out that door
kicked you out of the door
