YOU CAN ONLY FIND WHAT YOU LOOK FOR
BETTER LOOK FOR SOMETHING GOOD
YOU CAN ONLY GET WHAT YOU WISH FOR
I THINK THATS UNDERSTOOD
DONT LOOK AT IT THAT WAY
THINGS CAN'T BE ALL BAD
THE SUN WILL RISE AGAIN
DONT THROW IT ALL AWAY
DONT LOOK AT IT T HAT WAY
IF YOU CHANGE YOUR FRAME OF MIND
THIS OLD WORLD WILL TREAT YOU KIND
TIME TO OPEN UP YOUR EYES
SO YOU CAN START TO READ THE SIGNS
WAIT FOR THE BREAK OF DAY
SUN WILL FOLLOW THE RAIN
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OK
DONT LOOK AT IT THAT WAY
IF YOUR FEELING KIND OF BLUE
SEE THINGS FROM A DIFFRENT OF VIEW
IF YOU DON'T WHAT TO DO
TRY START SOMETHING NEW

IMAGINARY FRIEND I WROTE THIS SONG FOR YOU
I HAVEN'T MET YOU YET BUT I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON
I KEEP GOING ON MY OWN FOR NO
AND HOPE WELL SOON MEET UP SOMEHOW/BEFORE I DIE
I HAVEN'T FOUND YOU YET
I SHOULD FORGET ABOUT IT.
BUT I AM AFRAID I CAN'T LET IT GO
YOU'RE SOMEWHERE OUT THERE I KNOW
I WROTE THIS SONG JUST FOR YOU
AND I HOPE IT'LL RING TRUE
I KEEP WAITING SOME MORE
AND HOPE YOU WALK THROUGH MY DOOR
MY HEART LONGS FOR A COMPANION
SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
WHO'LL BE THERE IN THE MORNING
WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO PRETEND

ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE HONKYTONK
I KEEP DRINKING 'TILL THE BREAK OF DAWN
THE JUKEBOX PLAYS A WAYLON JENNINGS SONG
ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE HONKYTONK
THE MEMORIES ARE A LITTLE EASIER TO BEAR
THE PAIN IS A LITTLE EASIER TO WEAR
THE NIGHT DOESN'T SEEM SO LONG
ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE HONKYTONK
EVERYONE HERE'S GOT THE BLUES
HAUNTED BY MEMORIES THEY CANNOT LOSE
WAITING FOR THE BREAK FOR DAWN
ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE HONKYTONK
WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE DOWN LOW
AND YOUR HEARTACHE WON'T SHOW
NOONE KNOWS WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
AT THE WRONG SIDE OF THE HONKYTONK

LAST CHANCE IS ALREADY GONE
EVERYTHING TURNED OUT WRONG
YOUR JUST A GODDAMN FOOL
SOME FOLKS ALWAYS GOT THE BLUES
PLENTY LOSERS IN THIS GAME
NOONE WILL REMEMBER YOUR NAME
NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY TO DO /IT JUST AIN'T NO USE
SOME FOLKS ALWAYS GOT THE BLUES
YOU CAN HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME
IN THE END IT'S ALL THE SAME
THERE AIN'T NO CURE FOR YOU
SOME FOLKS ALWAYS GOT THE BLUES
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT HIDE
LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS OR PUT ON A FIGHT
DEVIL'S COMING AFTER YOU/GOT HIS EYES ON YOU
SOME FOLKS ALWAYS GOT THE BLUES
BATTLES LOST NOTHING LEARNED
NO MORE GASOLINE TO BURN
YOU KNOW IT AINT NO USE
SOME FOLKS ALWAYS GOT THE BLUES

(WELL IT) LOOKS LIKE THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT
ITS BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AT SQUARE ONE
TIME TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND
STOP WONDERING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
DONT HANG YOUR HEAD MY FRIEND
START OVER AGAIN
SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING FROM THE START
MAYBE YOU WERE TRYING JUST TOO HARD
SOME FOOLS WILL NEVER LEARN
YOU PLAY WITH FIRE YOU GET BURNED
PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN
START OVER AGAIN
THINGS COME TO AN END
YOURE NONE TIHE WISER MY FRIEND
GOT NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED JUST THEN
START OVER AGAIN
START OVER IS NOT THE END
JUST THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT
FORGET WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
START OVER AGAIN

WHEN YOU FEEL THE BLUES COMING ON
PLAY THAT GUITAR ALL NIGHT LONG
TRY AND WRITE ANOTHER SONG
BEFORE THE BREAK OIF DAWN
YOUR GETTING OLDER BUT NOTHING'S CHANGED
KEEP ON ROCKING JUST THE SAME
MOST FOLKS THINK THAT YOUR DERANGED
BUT YOU NO LONGER GIVE A DAMN
WHEN YOU FEEL YOU CAN"T GO ON
PACK YOUR BAG AND HIT THE ROAD
WHEN THE BLUES IS COMING ON
PLAY THAT GUITAR ALL NIGHT LONG
TELL THE DEVIL
TELL THE DEVIL
YOU GOTTA TELL THE DEVIL TO LEAVE YOU ALONE

I TELL MYSELF IM DOING FINE
THIS OLD WORLD BEEN TREATING ME KIND
I'M GLLAD WE CUT THE TIES THAT BIND
BUT I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OFF MY MIND
I KNOW IM BETTER OFF THIS WAY
I DON'T WANT YOU BACK AGAIN
I KNOW I OUGHT TO LET IT SLIDE
BUT I CAN'T GET YOU OFF MY MIND
I CANT HELP IT IF I TRY
I STILL BREAK DOWN AND CRY
HONEY I JUST DON'T NOW WHY
BUT I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OFF MY MIND
I HOPE I CAN MOVE ON
GET OVER YOU BEING GONE
I SURE DON'T MISS YOUR CHEATING LIES
BUT I CAN'T GET YOU OUT OFF MY MIND

LET NOONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU TO DO
FOLLOW THAT ROAD WHEREVER IT TAKES YOU
NOBODY'S GONNA WALK IN YOUR SHOES
SO NOONE TELL YOU WHAT YOU TO DO
YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND
MAYBE NOT PERFECT BUT THAT'S ALTRIGHT
ALWAYS KEEP THIS IN MIND
YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND
NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM
MARCH TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUM
DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK
OR THIS LIFE AINT WORTH A DAMN
WE GET ONE SHOT AT THIS LIFE
WE ALWAYS STRUGGLE AND STRIFE
WE MAY NEVER ARRIVE
BUT WE WON'T STOP TRYING WHILE WE'RE ALIVE

YOU'RE READY TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY
THIS WORLD AINT NO GOOD PEOPLE DON'T GIVE DAMN
SOMEHOW YOU KEEP GOING ON
YOU GOT NOTHING TO PROOF BUT PROOF 'EM WRONG
NEVER SEEM TO GET AHEAD
YOU'RE FULL OF SELF DOUBT AND REGRETS
BEEN DOWN AND OUT FOR SO LONG
YOU GOT NOTHING TO PROOF BUT TO PROOF 'EM WRONG
YOU CAN'T SEE THE POINT TO TRY AGAIN
KEEP ON GOING JUST THE SAME
YOU BEEN TRYING FOR SO LONG
YOU GOT NOTHING TO PROOF BUT TO PROOF 'EM WRONG
NOTHING TO PROOF
NOTHING TO LOSE
NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN DO
KEEP GOING ON
TRY TO BE STRONG
YOU GOT NOTHING TO PROOF BUT TO PROOF 'EM WRONG
