There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright

Can you imagine that slice of time
Rock and roll was young
People stood in line
To hear music that played into their lives
That you could carry till the day you die

Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie

Have you read my blog today
300 million little USA's
Your doorstep is just a click away
We'll get together one of these days

How can you be as nice as me
You're not from the same slice as me
Where do we go from here my friend
Is this the way our story ends

Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie

I can't stop singing along..
Can you join in... come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie

We're top down lovers
It's saturday night
The band's running
And it feels so right
The moon's dancing and the stars are free
I caught your heart on a summer breeze
Whatever was or what's meant to be
Our melodies are memories

There was a time a long, long time ago
Chevys and levees played on the radio
No cell phones, just 20,000 lights
Swaying on a saturday night alright

Hey man sing me a song
When we were everyone
We were more than just a slice of American Pie

I can't stop singing along
Can you join in, come on
Are we more than just a slice of American Pie
We're more than a slice
We're more than just a slice of American Pie

I don't know you
I never met you
For laughs I'll call you Sam
You were the son
Of Mrs. Someone
I hope she understands

Sam you were all that you had
Are you happy or sad
I never knew you
But I'm told you're the best we had

Were you so tall
Did you play Basketball
Was there a sweetheart at home
Did you write her letters
Did it make you better face the great unknown

Sam did you feel alone
You were so far from home
I never knew you
But I know you're the best man I know

Could you tell it was time
See it coming in the back of your mind
When it was over, was it over
Sam I'm glad you're on my side

I don't know you
I never met you
Can I call you Sam
Did you have a son
A daughter with a little one
I might go and thank Sam you're the best that we have

You make me happy and sad
If you were here, I'd buy the beers
I'd shake your hand and say good man
And though the sun would shine about the same
It's a better world because you came
Sincerely yours, my kids will know your name

. . .


One year like any old other year
In a week like any week
Monday lying down
Half asleep

People doing what people do
Loving, working and getting through
No portraits on the walls
Of Seventh Avenue

Then Tuesday came and went
Like a helicopter overhead
The letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When will she come again

The thing about memories
They're sure and bound to fade
Except for the stolen souls
Left upon her blade

Is Monday coming back
That's what Mondays do
They Turn and Turn around
Afraid to see it through

Tuesday came and went
Like a helicopter overhead
The Letter that she left
Cold Addressed in Red
Tuesday Came and went one
One September
When will she come again

Tuesday Came and went one
One September, When?
Cold and dressed in red
How could I forget
Tuesday Came and went
Like a Helicopter overhead
Will she come again

. . .


Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today

Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be

Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you

I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through, yeah

Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me

It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing

Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn up pages
Maybe this time

Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see

Chances are the fascinations
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them and all I need

This is not our favorite song
but the night is moving right along
may I have your hand, may I have this dance.

I sense that you are amused,
but you just bought those brand new shoes.
It would such a shame not to give us the chance.

And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.

So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.

I know at times that you feel alone
when I'm here and I'm never home.
You said before is the price that you pay.

On matters of clarity
is not secret you are carrying me.
But you disguise thoughts of fall
I will keep you safe.

And oh my love there is only so many dances we can take across the night.

So while is just me and you
I thought I might say to you
You put the beautiful in life.

And oh....
oh...oh...

This is not our favorite song
but I wish it go on and on
it's moments like these
singers do all they can to stop time.

So let me just say to you
before the DJ changes the tune
you put the beautiful in life
you put the beautiful in life.

I get a little tired
Looking through the trees
Sitting on the 405
Hoping for a breeze

Everybody's gunning
You got something to see
I gotta sell this ticket
Get the shadow off of me

So what is your problem
You been moping around
You need to find a mountaintop
And get out of this town

She says sometimes
You gotta get away
Clear out that noggin
Open up the day

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline

Things get slower
When it's harder to breath
I can almost touch the stars
That are hanging over me

You've never been more beautiful
And it's easy to see
All that really matters
You're all I'll ever need

I'm getting to the home
At the top of the world
Leading to realities
Up down at the curb

Oh the noise between us,
Now it can't be heard
I'm listening to the wind
I'm writing down the words

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline

Now I'll be coming home,
I'll be coming home soon
Before I head on down
I'm gonna kiss the moon

Above the timberline
The higher I go, the harder I climb
I'm closer to you
It's clear in my mind
Love shines bright above the timberline

Above the timberline
No heading up race, no waiting in line
The farther I go
The harder you climb
Love shines bright above the timberline

Bought a ticket
Destination Nowhere
I am going
Then he smiled
It'd been awhile
He said
Goodbye bye bye bye love

She worked at the transfer station
No last words or consolations
Why, I never lied
She cried
Goodbye bye bye bye love

He then took her off
He checked his line
The years went by
He found himself best he could find

Then a letter
Posted nowhere
Regards I've arrived
Am doing fine
I missed you mine
Come save my life
My love, my life

She then put him on
She checked her line
She took her time
And on her heart she relied

Bought a ticket
Destination Nowhere
I am going
Then she smiled
It'd been awhile
That smile
Goodbye bye bye bye love

Train pulls into nowhere
There he stands
A field of flowers
For his hands
My love he cries
I missed you mine
Come save my life

She says don't cry
Was only time
Moves in a line
And then she smiled
And said besides
I'm just passing bye
Bye bye bye bye love
Bye bye bye bye love
Bye bye bye bye love
Goodbye

When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
Cause love has forsaken you
When you burning on fire but have no desire
To put out the flames in

You gotta have hope
You gotta have something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day

When you are in pain then step of the train
Nobody's waiting for you
You can knock down each door of all metaphors
Or embrace the cold hard truth

But you gotta have hope
You gotta have something
there's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less
Will save the day

I see that look in your eyes
I've seen it before
Each to our own disguise
If you need me babe
You're not alone, no, no

When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
cause despair has stolen your song
but raise up your fist and into the abyss
Scream,"Coward, get of my lawn"

Hope
Something
There's always a reason to break
Hope
Cause nothing less will save the day

At 17 she left Long Island bound for Hollywood
Another story like the ones you've heard before
He left her broken like you figured, like you knew he would
She shut her heart after his ring rang off the door

It's the story of your life
You're tearing out the page
New chapter underway
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
I don't know what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story of your life

She hit the ground
She built a fine career
Every weekend walked her dog beside the sea
In the salt she met a man who knew at once but wait
Is he the one we need him to be

In the story your life
You're moving down the page
As the words begin to change
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
I don't know what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story of your life

Look around look around and the world will find you
There's a reason that we live so far from Hollywood
In the country looking hard to find a home
We're nothing perfect
All considered
But we're so damn good

It's the story of your life
You're moving down the page
And you know you're on your way
The story of your life
You live it everyday
You can run, you run
But you won't get away
No one knows what's coming up
Where will you go now
It's the story
It's your story
It's the story of your life

. . .


Love comes in, Love goes out
Moves in circles, Roundabout
We've been tired;
We can't take it anymore

Love can't change the weather
She says I'm out of my mind, over my head
Love can't change the weather
But I'll rise to shade the sun when it blinds your eyes

Love is born, Love is dead
Runs in colours, Blues and reds
We can't die;
We can't waste it anymore

Love in me, Loving you
Makes it better, when love is true
We are one;
We can face any storm

Love can't change the weather
She says I'm out of my mind, over my head
Love can't change the weather
But I'll be holding you when the rain walks in

Holding on...

And if you're wondering;
What is my take on this
If you're wondering
I'm out of my mind, over my head
But I'll shade the sun if it blinds your eyes

Love can't change the weather
But I stand holding your heart, Keeping your hand
Love can't change the weather
I believe no act of God is stronger than you and me

Love comes in, Love goes out
We can't die...

. . .


Augie Nieto's got a story to tell you
Though it's hard to hear him speak
He caught Lou Gehrig rounding third one day
Now he's happy as he'll ever be

He's running through the night
He'll die before he sleeps
Augie's found what I've been looking for

Augie Nieto can tell you he loves you
He's two wheels close to God
His captain Lynn sailing by his side
He'll never leave you lost

Though his arms can't squeeze you tight
He'll hold you when you sleep
Augie's found what I've been looking for

Hey yeah, Hey yeah
Take it any way it goes
Hey yeah, Hey yeah
Open up your never mind
Open up your mind

Augie Nieto has never been happier
You got to see to believe
He caught Lou Gehrig rounding third one day
Now he's carrying the whole team

It's not the breaths you take
It's how to breathe
Augie's found what I've been looking for

Augie's found what I've been looking for
