  1. Keep Pushin

    I used to be lonely till I learned about livin alone
    I found other things to keep my mind on
    And I'm gettin to know myself a little bit better
    Whoa , I keep pushin on
    Keep pushin on, yeah

    Goin through all the changes I made so many mistakes, oh yes I did
    Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
    And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
    Whoa, I keep pushin on

    Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
    Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
    Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone
    Keep pushin on

    (solo)

    Well it's comin together I finally feel like a man, oh yes I do
    I never thought that I'd be where I am, oh
    Everyday I wake a little bit higher
    Whoa I keep pushin on, oh yeah
    (repeat chorus)

  2. (I Believe) Our Time Is Gonna Come

    You touched me. You took me away.
    You left me confused when you said you couldn't stay.
    But now I know what you were trying to say.
    I can understand that I'm not the only one.
    But I believe our time is gonna come.

    I dream of you through every night,
    But you're not risin' with me, so I don't wanna see the light.
    Even if you can't come over, and I hoping that you might
    'Cause when you're not here nothing's any fun.
    But I believe our time is gonna come.

    I believe our time is gonna come
    I believe our time is gonna come
    I believe our time is gonna
    I believe our time is gonna come

  3. Keep On Loving You

    You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
    There was somethin missin
    You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
    But you didn't listen
    You played dead
    But you never bled
    Instead you lay still in the grass
    All coiled up and hissin

    And though I know all about those men
    Still I don't remember
    Cause it was us baby, way before then
    And we're still together
    And I meant, every word I said
    When I said that I love you I meant
    That I love you forever

    And I'm gonna keep on lovin you
    Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
    I don't wanna sleep
    I just wanna keep on lovin you

    (solo)

    And I meant every word I said
    When I said that I love you I meant
    That I love you forever

    (chorus)

  4. Stillness Of The Night

    Midnight on the hill I heard the thunder fill
    The stillness of the night
    It hit me like a slap, you're never comin' back
    From the stillness of the night
    It was never black or white, neither wrong or right
    Like the shadow of a full moon's light
    I knew we'd lost the track, when I heard the lightning crack
    The stillness of the night

    Chorus

    In the stillness of the night
    That's when we'll make it right
    We can stop the thunder till the light
    In the stillness of the night

    I know you think you hear, those voices in your ear
    In the stillness of the night
    But I've tried to make it clear there's nothing left to fear
    Just the stillness of the night
    And if you listen hard you might find the reason for your fright
    Just the wind is high tonight
    And the danger we must face is the anger of this race
    In the stillness of the night

    Chorus

  5. The Key

    I couldn't fall asleep all last night my mind was racin'
    I left so much behind to find the dream that I was chasin'
    And now I have a need to take a look at what is real
    I need to learn to live and love and breathe and touch and feel

    Chorus

    But all I really know is what I see
    And everybody sees it differently
    I wish someone would open up my heart and look inside of me
    But I'm the only one who holds the key

    Your body aglow as if to show you peacefully dreamin'
    So only you could know that deep inside somebody was screamin'
    And callin' out to anyone who could help you through the night
    And hopin' that someone would come along to make it right

    But all you really know is what you see
    And everybody sees it differently
    I wish someone could open up your soul and set the demon free
    But you're the only one who holds the key

  6. Keep The Fire Burnin

    Keep the fire burnin'
    Let it keep us warm
    The world will keep on turnin'
    Let it turn you on
    Let us not stop learnin'
    We can help one another be strong
    Let us never lose our yearnin'
    To keep the fire burnin' all night long

    You've been changing so much
    I'm not sure your in touch with what's real
    You just come and you go
    Never letting me know how you feel
    And I'm livin here in doubt
    There's so much to talk about
    I know that we can work it out

    Chorus

    We've been through this enough
    It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
    This is where we belong
    We are strong, we can never give up
    If we wanted to we could
    But we've always understood
    To keep lookin' for the good

  7. Only the Strong Survive

    You may not know this but you are everything you've ever needed.
    Heaven with a touch of New York. Silver with a touch of gold.
    And I can see where you're goin', but I don't really know the way.
    It's got too many changes, too much rearranging,
    Too many ways to go astray.

    So if you wanna go, let me go along
    I never walked that road alone
    I heard it was hard
    I heard it was long
    But we'll come back alive
    'Cause only the strong survive

    You walk on a wire, make a game of desire, pitchin' pennies down a wishing well.
    You're leading the blind through there high and low times, but baby can you lead yourself?
    So calm down, honey, forget about the money. If you need me I'll always be there.
    Go ride your high horse alone of course
    'Cause if you need me I'll always care

  8. Music Man

    Recently I've been thinkin about what I am and where my priorities lie
    Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what I need to get by
    I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no
    Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

    Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues, it doesn't really matter to me
    As long as I'm playin the music I just can't lose, and noones gonna tell me differently
    Cause all I really care about is sittin right here in my hands, oh yeah
    Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

    Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
    Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
    My daddy tells her I'm just goin through a phase
    But that's just what he always says
    I hear what they're sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
    Can't ya see I'll always be a music man
    (repeat) yeah

    (solo)

    Can't ya see I'll always be a music man

    Well I've told you my story now here's what I've found
    To be happy you need only be real
    So don't let anyone try to turn your head around
    Just remember you are what you feel
    You see all of my life people been tryin to tell me what I am, oh yeah
    Can't ya see I'll always be a music man, oh yeah

  9. Shakin It Loose

    She looked at me with fire in her eyes.
    Looks can't kill but she certainly tries,
    and she tried as she might.
    But I'm gonna be all right,
    Shakin' it loose tonight.

    She said honey, "Forget me quick."
    Another fool, another Hollywood trick.
    Movin' on a red light.
    But I'm gonna be all right,
    Shakin' it loose tonight.

    I got to go there's someone on the phone.
    Knock on my door, but there's nobody home
    I turned out the light
    And I'm gonna be all right,
    Shakin' it loose tonight.

    Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
    Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight.
    I'm gonna make it.
    Shakin' it loose tonight.

  10. I Need You Tonight

    How can I show you?
    I take back what I told you.
    'Cause something happens when I hold you,
    And that makes everything all right.

    And oh... oh... I need you tonight.
    I just need you tonight.
    I wrote all I can write.
    I just need you tonight.

    In need you tonight.

    Secrets I keep here.
    Buried so very deep here.
    If only somehow you could sleep here,
    you'd make everything all right.
