All Lyrics Written By: Brian J. Conner
Better Deal
Bring me a better deal
Tell me somethin' that you know what I want to hear
Tell me that you'll make my problems disappear
Tell me that you're gonna take me from what I've become
Did you ever feel like you were just doing the same thing
Pursuing the same dreams and
Moving the same way
Feel like you're living over the same day
Keep on do what you doing to maintain
Push so hard you're about to fall
Can't even laugh no more without the alcohol
Past the point of even walking tall
Half the man that you were before
And you fade
And you fade
CHORUS
The Hollywood life
Hollywood lies
Screamin' drive out west and get a piece of the pie
The Hollywood life
Hollywood lies
You get messed up and then you have a good time
Get messed up and then you have a good time
Get messed up and then you have a good time
You don't wanna die alone
Withering and wilting inside your home
You don't want to put up with people's games
You got beauty and you've got youth
But it fades
And it fades
CHORUS
Lately I've been having trouble holdin' on
Lately I've been having trouble standin' strong
Would you be that one who prays for me in the night?
My mama said 'Find someone to share your life'
Cause it fades
And it fades
What Happened
I've got scars deep and wide
Ugly as hell and hard to hide
But I roll just like a double die
I take my chances when I find them
Watch my problems multiply
Stackin' on up straight to the sky
And I just sit back steady laughin'
And you just can't believe what's happening now
Drag me to the sea
Lay me down straight on the beach
Flesh on my flesh melt together
Relieve me of this pressure
I used to sleep so easily
I used to breathe so easily
What happened to me now what happened
I used to hold my head up high
I used to love to live me life
What happened to me now what happened
I've got stars in my eyes
Fading with the sands of time
Someday fade out all together
Save me from falling forever
Watch me gain control
Blowin' out smoke rollin' down the road
I loaded up my truck and I'm rollin' on
And I found myself now I'm rollin' home
To hear you complain
Come on and lay it on me like the pourin' rain
I'm gon' be the one that you'll forever blame
I'm gon' be the one to outrun the game
CHORUS
I blame myself
Yes I do
It keeps me from blaming
You
In Good Time
Don't you know you dig deep in my soul
Breaking me down as I bleed
As soft as your smile is
You cut me into pieces like you're loveless
Don't you know you got something I want
Don't you know you got something I need
When you walk in the room
Tell me baby
Why I can barely breathe
I'm gon' try to make you love me
I'm gon' try
To make you mine
If you find your standards are above me
That's alright, that's alright,
I'm gonna get you in good time
I can't explain the way I played the game
And got the loosing hand
Cries of a loosing man
Echo through my mind
Clouded my perception
Crowded my direction
And all the while baby
Feeding my obsession
Now did ya
Paint a picture with your canvas
With your burning candles of me
In my broken home
Cause I can feel it in me deeply
When you go and leave me
Love is like a rolling stone
