Around We Go
------------
I’m comin' over
And around we go
But ain't nothing quite like
We used to know
When we were young
Do you recall?
Driving down
That old dirt road
Boys of Summer
On the radio
Living a dream
The time of our lives
Oooh ooh oh
Aaah aah ah
Live like you’re dying
I sure been trying
For the longest time
Oooh ooh oh
Aaah aah ah
Endlessly running
Trying to find
That same feeling
Like photographs that never fade
Those memories take me away
I ain’t afraid to say it
I miss those days
And I would love to go back
Even if just for a day
I want to be taken away
Oh I ain’t afraid to say it
I miss those days
What a time we had
Wrap me around
Your fingers like
You did back then
And we just might
Live forever on
In my memory
Just like we were
Having fun
Trying out everything
Under the sun
I still remember
It all
Oooh ooh oh
Aaah aah ah
Live like you’re dying
Oh, I sure been trying
For the longest time
Like photographs that never fade
Those memories take me away
I ain’t afraid to say it -
I miss those days
And I would love to go back
Even if just for a day
I want to be taken away
Oh I ain’t afraid to say it
I miss those days
What a time we had
Like photographs that never fade
Those memories take me away
I ain’t afraid to say it -
I miss those days
And I would love to go back
Even if just for a day
I want to be taken away
Oh I ain’t afraid to say it
I miss those days
What a time we had

Church At The Top Of A Hill
---------------------------
He was a reckless son-of-a-B
Should have known that I’d grow to be
A little like him
Yeah, a little like him
He was a pilot in the army
All the way back in 1918
After the war, he told his team
That he had an idea...
There was a church at the top of a hill
And I know he was looking for a thrill
Wanted to fly, wanted to show
That a plane could go between the two towers
They must have laughed at the silly idea
The guy is crazy, oh that much is clear
Said he could try but would never succeed
Oh how many times I’ve had that same said to me...
His friends said it couldn’t be done
That he would fail and end up killing someone
But my great-grandpa said: “Keep an eye on the time”
“Because at noon I’m gonna get what’s mine”
And the crowd of soldiers stood and stared
Some of them puzzled, some of them scared
When his plane appeared from behind the trees
Flew between the towers …vertically
---
And after all that’s said and done
Just go and have some fun, yeah
Don’t worry about tomorrow
'Cause it might never come
And if that’s all there is to this life we live
Forget and forgive
Yeah, don’t worry about tomorrow
'Cause it might never come
---
He was a reckless son-of-a-gun
But he sure knew how to have fun
Living the dream, chasing a high
Being the king, if just for a while
He used to play poker with his friends
All the chips just kept going in
The pot was two buildings in the middle of the city
And somehow he ended up winning
My family would be filthy rich
Had he not gone back the very next day
And lost it all
So we are still poor
Everyone around him thought he was insane
But to him, it all was just part of the game
Being alive, feeling the thrill
To him, THAT was the magic pill
Everyone still loved him, no matter what
Two dollars or two buildings in the pot
All of that will just get left behind
When the time comes for him to fly (away)
---
And after all that’s said and done
Just go and have some fun, yeah
Don’t worry about tomorrow
'Cause it might never come
And if that’s all there is to this life we live
Forget and forgive
Yeah, don’t worry about tomorrow
'Cause it might never come
---
He was a reckless son-of-a-B
...just like me.

Runaway Girl

Runaway Girl
------------
She said - “Let's run away together"
That's what she wants to do
Settle down in a house somewhere
Just me and her, and no one else
Run away together
(And) our life will be so sweet
But I know she's making promises
That she cannot keep
Run away together
I wanna run away with you
Till one day you'll run off
With somebody new
And though we say 'forever'
I'll just run out of time
But I always knew
That she never was mine
So I'll pick up the pieces
And follow the sun
Always remember
She was the one
Who got away
My runaway girl
She said - “Let’s run away together”
“And live forever young”
“Until the day I die, I swear”
“You’ll be my only one”
Run away together
And never be apart
But nothing she can do to change
That restless heart
Run away together
I wanna run away with you
Till one day you'll run off
With somebody new
And though we say 'forever'
I'll just run out of time
But I always knew
That she never was mine
So I'll pick up the pieces
And follow the sun
Always remember
She was the one
Who got away
My runaway girl
And if she wants, I’ll follow her
Savour every moment, that’s for sure
And though I know what will be
For as long as she’s with me, I know
That I can never say no
My runaway girl
My runaway girl
My runaway girl
My runaway girl
My little town pearl
My whole wide world
She said - “Let’s run away together”
“Run away with me”
And I will gladly follow her
For as long as it may be

Superwoman
----------
She was stuck in the middle of pouring rain
Never to go back home again
Her life was going crazy
But she was about to change it
Packed her whole life in the car
Just going somewhere far
When she saw a sign
Between the lanes that made her smile
"All you need is love and a seat belt"
She read the words and oh, how she felt
So alive, wild and free
Going to where she was meant to be
Leaving the past right there, far behind her
All that matters is what's ahead of you, girl
You have the world, so take it on
You are courageous
You are so strong
A new town, another set of fears
But she keeps drying up the tears
Oh, she is on the mend
'Cause now she has something to defend
Open up your eyes, take a good look
You'll never know how much it took
To walk away and break the spell
Escape from hell
Ooh, like a superwoman
A superwoman.
Now she's buckling up her first born child
Back seat - she's got her mother's eyes
Girl, you'll be going places
And trust me, you're gonna make it
I watch her start their brand new car
Oh, how they both have come so far
On their way to school
She repeats the golden rule
"All you need is love and a seat belt"
She remembers the words and how she felt
So alive, wild and free
Now she’s right where she was meant to be
Leaving the past right there, far behind her
All that matters is what's ahead of you, girl
You have the world, so take it on
You are courageous
You are so strong
Ooh, like a superwoman
A superwoman.
She's got it
So crazy
But she's gone, gone, gone
Like superwoman
She's got it
So crazy
But she's gone, gone, gone
Like a superwoman.

On And On
---------
She goes on and on
Cause she’s so strong
I never wanna see her slip away
And I’m so confused
Too much to lose
A heart of stone
Can be so hard to break
But she does it anyway
I’ve been searching for myself
Halfway around the world
She follows me around
Never leaving my side
Take a little piece of my heart with you
I’m not running after you now
I’m not running after you now
I fall apart
God help me
All I need is
You here beside me
So far away
But still with me
Oh lord,
I need someone to save me
‘Cause I don't really know
How to go on
She goes on and on
Cause she’s so strong
I never wanna see her slip away
And I’m so confused
Too much to lose
A heart of stone
Can be so hard to break
But she does it anyway
A heart of stone
Can be so hard to break
But she does it anyway
Yeah
A heart of stone
Can be so hard to break
But she does it anyway.
