Lyrics:

Watching over me on the westside   Prayin that you hit me on a tough night  The time I spent with you was the best time   I wanna get with you, live my best life    I wanna get with you, live the best life   I don’t want to wait for another life   watching over me on the westside   I wanna get with you live my best life    I been living on that broke diet   thinking bout them days I won’t have to check the prices   Life Stressful, taking all the mileage   Tell me how I got that shit down to a science   My baby, jumping in that 02  Tell me how I make a milly grinding off that pro tools  Got her whipping ranges in the rain, she supposed to   Thats the shit I’m close to, when everybody know who   So close yet so far   Turn the Kmart to goyard   Benz from a go kart   Casablanca like bogart   Find me when the show start   More than a born star I will die art   Life is learned   Bridges burned, world turns   I got   Money earned   And   It’s well deserved     watching over me on the westside   Prayin that you hit me on a tough night  The time I spent with you was the best time   I wanna get with you, live my best life    I wanna get with you, live the best life   I don’t want to wait for another life   watching over me on the westside   I wanna get with you live my best life     Watching   Over me   Watching   Over me     Life story   Not boring   Turn yo ringer off when this legend  is recording   Feeling to important, they tryna check my sources   What’s a money tree when you ain’t plant an orchard   Get at me   Open sesame   Someone blessing me   Never let a man that never did shit flex on me   Got my ends up  Rubberbanded   That upper hand shit, tell god advance it, and granted   I think expansive   Visualize a seed and plant it in the soil   Told you I could do this and you ask me why I know so   I been switchin zip codes   Chillin out LA though   I Always know you watching even when you do not  say so   watching over me on the westside   Prayin that you hit me on a tough night  The time I spent with you was the best time   I wanna get with you, live my best life    I wanna get with you, live the best life   I don’t want to wait for another life   watching over me on the westside   I wanna get with you live my best life 

Lyrics:

I was tired of being busted with my back against the wall The ends weren't meeting up the way they should Living hand to mouth, you know it ain't no life at all I had to change the station if I could So I may have placed a call to a certain someone that I know I may have pulled a job for his old man I may have been behind a shady business deal or two But I don't expect that you would understand I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried So the jobs kept stacking up, man the years kept rolling by You know there ain't no arguing with time It wasn't always honest and it wasn't always right But I did what I had to to survive So I made a little money and an enemy or two Along the way I lost a couple friends Burned a lot of bridges doing what I had to do It'll all come back to haunt me in the end I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried No one knows the wicked things I've seen through all my days People make their judgements and they turn the other way They can go to hell anyway I've been trying hard to walk the straight and narrow for a while The devil seems to follow me around Everywhere I go, you know I walk a lonely mile And I cast a lonely shadow on the ground I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried

Lyrics:

This feral heart begins to race Then all at once the voice of reason fades away Shadow of doubt comes creeping in That's when the war between the head and heart begins This tidal wave comes crashing over And everything I thought I knew gets washed away My shallow grave comes ever closer Til the medication makes it all better again This bullet train rolls down the track And once it's up to speed, there's no turning back There is nothing to fear but fear itself But fear itself can be a fate far worse than death This tidal wave comes crashing over And everything I thought I knew gets washed away My shallow grave comes ever closer Til the medication makes it all better again

Lyrics:

We belong to a legacy From the past like a memory I remember when you said to me We walk around in the dark We keep searching for the melody Something found in the reverie We hear the sound, feel the energy We break our own restless hearts We're not getting any younger We'll never let them pull us under We're not ready to surrender We can render our own American history We carry on through the ebb and flow People come, man, and people go We sing about them on the radio We walk around in the dark Keep searching everywhere we go We fill it up until it overflows Then we put the record on the stereo We break our own restless hearts We're not getting any younger We'll never let them pull us under We're not ready to surrender We can render our own American history And we lean on each other sometimes When it all gets to heavy to harmonize Yeah we stand together under the streetlight And wait for the morning light to come We're not getting any younger We'll never let them pull us under We're not ready to surrender We can render our own American history We break our own restless hearts

Lyrics:

These abandoned buildings, they don't make a sound They just cast their shadows all across this town Their drawn-out faces, man they're dragging me down These broken windows, they've seen too much They know all the secrets, they just stare and judge And they're always listening, so I'm keeping my mouth shut I want to set fire to this town and put the car in gear Watch it all burn down in my rear view mirror Gonna turn the radio up, and we can disappear Watch the sun come up any place but here These haunted houses with their curtains drawn This desolation, it goes on and on This lonely sidewalk I've been walking all night long This small town feeling, it's wearing thin These walls around me, they're closing in It's a broken record, and it's making my head spin I want to set fire to this town and put the car in gear Watch it all burn down in my rear view mirror Gonna turn the radio up, and we can disappear Watch the sun come up any place but here

Lyrics:

Watch 'em come and go like a flash in the pan But everybody knows that we're lifers man Yeah I know this place like the back of my hand A long time ago we put a flag in the sand All the late nights in the 813 At the Crowbar and the New World Brewery Baby we ain't as reckless as we used to be But we can run with the devil when the drinks are free We learn our lessons the hard way We lay it all on the line We pay our dues on the highway So many miles behind We bare our souls in the barlight?We leave our blood on the stage It's only chords on a fretboard It's only words on a page See I was born with an empty space to fill Just a kid dreaming, leaning on a window sill Now I gotta keep moving, baby, can't stand still 'Cause if the drinking don't kill me the anxiety will We learn our lessons the hard way We lay it all on the line We pay our dues on the highway So many miles behind We bare our souls in the barlight?We leave our blood on the stage It's only chords on a fretboard It's only words on a page It's only words on a page We leave our blood on the stage...

Lyrics:

Flipping through the pages, looking for some kind of sign Staring at the words and trying to read between the lines Searching for the patterns, but they're too hard to define Weigh the facts and figures, read the writing on the wall Hoping for a tip from some anonymous phone call Questioning the witnesses, but no one here knows anything at all It's weighing heavy on my mind The more I seek the less I find Can't get the truth to unwind Can't see to the end of the line This mystery of mine Staring at the ceiling, cursing through my teeth Scratching at the surface for the answers underneath A late night revelation or a moment of clarity Examine all the evidence, investigate the crime Picking up the pieces, running out of time Yesterday is a memory, today's not far behind It's weighing heavy on my mind The more I seek the less I find Can't get the truth to unwind Can't see to the end of the line This mystery of mine And I'm haunted by a vision like a spirit in the fog It's a melancholy melody that carries me along And I recognize the music, but I can't recall the words to the song It's a fading apparition as I'm waking from a dream And it's drifting in the distance like a feather on a stream And the more I try to chase it, man, the faster it's escaping from me And I'm reaching out to feel it, but it's slipping through my hands I'm a man on a mission, I'm a person in a trance And I'm going through the motions, but it doesn't follow any kind of plan Yeah I'm scanning that horizon out as far as I can see And I know that there's an answer waiting right in front of me It's a troublesome equation, but I'll work it out eventually

Lyrics:

I believe that the worst is behind us It's the winter of our discontent In the blink of an eye, so many years have gone by Man I'm not really sure where they went Now it feels a weight has been lifted From my shoulders like a ton of lead So many years that I've tried to push these feelings inside Maybe put all my demons to bed If these demons are safely behind me Some nights it feels like they're right on my trail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail There's a fire inside and it's burning Yeah it smolders like a cigarette At the end of the day, we keep our demons at bay Using whatever help we can get There's a choir in my head loud as Christmas And it's ringing like a mission bell If I can get through the night, I'll be doing alright But it may be to early to tell Sometimes it seems like my boat she's a-sinking And I'm in need of some wind in my sail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail Now it looks like the darkness is lifting And we're blinded by the light of day In the stillness of dawn, now our voices are gone And we've got no more words to say Sometimes it feels like my cup runneth over Sometimes it seems like I'm destined to fail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail Though it seems like these wolves are behind me Some nights it feels like they're hot on my trail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail

Lyrics:

Living in the future The future's been a long time coming Caught up in the race we're running Yeah, we're running out You listen to the rumors Listen to the things they're saying Get caught up in the noise they're making Well it drowns you out I can see you running with the wrong crowd Just trying to find your way out, your way back home again And I can see you standing in your own way Just trying to make it through your day like everybody Now your standing in the shadows Looking for a space to crawl in You notice that the sky is falling Yeah it's falling down Drowning in the shallows Keep your head above the surface Fight against the undercurrent Til it drags you out I can see you running with the wrong crowd Just trying to find your way out, your way back home again And I can see you standing in your own way Just trying to make it through your day like everybody I was born in the nineteen-seventies There's a sound fading out like a memory
