Girls With Guns Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I'll tell you now And I won't tell you twice Where when and how I got some bad advice I never thought I could handle A girl with guns And let me tell you You can bet that I'm not the only one Stand tall, don't think small Don't get your back against the wall Shoot straight, I can't wait Aim for the heart and fire away I've come around I understand today And she's the target now I'm gonna have my way I always heard Don't go messing with a girl with guns She don't need you She couldn't love you She couldn't be any fun Stand tall, don't think small Don't get your back against the wall Shoot straight, I can't wait Aim for the heart and fire away An innocent bystander Who forgets to look both ways Who never tries to understand her Won't feel the heat 'til it's too late Stand tall, don't think small Don't get your back against the wall Shoot stra...

Come In And Explain Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I know it's later than we think But come on can't you stay for one more drink The morning seems to come so fast There's got to be a way to make it last Well you said Don't throw yourself at me We're something that won't ever be When you say you miss the love so bad Well you can't miss what you never had I've spent so much time getting crazy Now I'm trying to be sane Baby listen to me Won't you let me Come in and explain Stay on the line Give me an answer There must be some way I can get this through to you You should be mine Not someone else's (nobody else's) You know this isn't very easy But I'll try it once again Baby listen to me won't you let me Come in and explain You know it's not a mystery What the love of a good woman can do God damn the history That's gonna change It's gonna change because of you

Lonely School Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I drove past where we used to live You might have caught a glimpse of me As I passed by I swear it's still hard to believe But at the time it seemed so clear to me I thought I had it all worked out I packed all that was dear to me And I left without a doubt that I'd Given it all I had to give Still nothing moved nothing changed Nothing lived I did everything that I could do But now I've had time to sort it out To graduate from lonely school And now I've got to let you know It's me who was the fool It was me baby I was wrong But how can I say it You must have known it all along It was you who was always strong And I've got to tell you now I've got to show you how I've Changed so many of my ways I left the band, steadied my hand and learned a trade And I'm coming back this time to stay And you won't recognize the boy Who graduated lonely school 'Cause I've become quite wise about...

Heads Up Written by Tommy Shaw and Eddie Wohlford Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Heads up the sky is falling Too late I heard them calling save me Somebody save me Don't look the light will blind you You'll find another crying Save me Somebody save me Here comes the night The long and lonely night Aren't you afraid that you might lose your heart tonight It could be true Don't fall without a fight Hold on with all your might You'll never know who might be out there Have it your way Sit out another dance There'll be another day But don't lose yourself to circumstance It's up to you You'll have to take the chance To find a true romance You've got to find out just what's out there I heard someone say Heads up the sky is falling Too late I heard them calling save me Somebody save me Don't look the light will blind you You'll find another crying Save me Somebody save me Too many should have been passed by So many good reasons not to try You'...

Kiss Me Hello Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw If you had things to do over Would you do them just the same Would you maybe see yourself As just a player in the game And if hindsight's twenty-twenty Would it help you see at all Would you never try the mountain Are you too afraid you'd fall And what would you do for the money What would you do for fun Would you leave yourself defenseless Would you get yourself a gun Ooh kiss me hello Ooh kiss me hello Outside it's pouring and there's No use in ignoring That I've stayed too long My hands are shaking But I can't control my feet They're making tracks for the door Do you think you'd try the backroads Maybe ones less clearly marked Would you make love in the daylight Would you come out of the dark Would you hold your thoughts in silence Would you free them with a shout Would you demonstrate your patience While your destiny's dealt out Ooh kiss me hello Ooh kiss me hello Outside it's pour...

Fading Away Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Too bad the bad conversation Too bad the poor choice of words Don't let me go and spoil the party It's not the end of the world There's a reason why you're fading away Fading away I know you want things to be perfect And I've done the best that I could There's no use in asking your forgiveness Cause it's never done me any good There's a reason why you're fading away There's a reason why you're fading away And in the morning when You get around to counting all the casualties Oh you lined them up and you dropped them One by one So you open up your eyes and You see the cold pale face of reality And there's a shiver in your spine 'Cause you see that there's damage you've done And there's a reason why you're fading away There's a reason why you're fading away Fading, fading, fading, fading away Fading, fading, fading, fading away

Little Girl World Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw The young girl says no to her fumbling beau And she can't help from wondering why And how she might feel If she ever revealed The love she so carefully hides So she hides She hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home He mother said wait From the time she turned eight For the right man would someday appear And don't you give in To those fast-talking men They'll just love you and leave you my dear So she hides Yes, she hides in her little girl world Safe from the forces that make her give in Safe from the boy who tries time and again And goes home Where's the rainbow She stares out from the room Where's my prince on his white horse Lord, I hope he comes soon And the boy comes The boy goes And nobody else really knows What she knows She won't say But she knows that he'll be back on the very next day So she hi...

Outside In The Rain Written by Tommy Shaw Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw Outside in the rain No one knows you're outside in the cold cold rain And nobody knows what you're all about But they're gonna find Out there it's so dark It's hard to tell just who's there near the park He's the spark that started the flame Immortalized the name Gave him instant fame I know that's not right But what am I gonna do I know it's not right Boy be a boy Stop your fooling around You've got one more chance Before my feet touch the ground Forget the introduction cause it don't mean a thing You've get my heartstrings humming And you can make me sing Out there no one knows No one realizes how close To the edge you can get Yet still turn around (They never told you what you needed to hear) Without the slightest sound (They only told you what you wanted to hea) Move from your shaky ground I know that's right But what am I gonna do You refuse to see the light Man ...

Free To Love You Written by Tommy Shaw and Eddie Wohlford Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw I don't want to grow up To be a preacher I don't want your soul in my hands Oh and I don't want to sentence you to some Heaven or hell You'll have to do that for yourself All I want to do is be free to love you Don't say a word Right now don't say a word I've already heard too many words Can't hear a sound My heart can't hear a sound My ear's to the ground Oh and true love should be Two hearts set free I don't want to grow up To be a lawyer I don't want your future in my hands Oh and I don't want a percentage Of what you stand to lose There must be bigger things to do All I want to do is be free to love you Don't say a word Right now don't say a word I've already heard too many words Can't hear a sound My heart can't hear a sound My ear's to the ground Oh and you, love, should see One heart is me True love should be Two hearts s...

The Race Is On Written by Tommy Shaw and Eddie Wohlford Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw The race is on The race is on and I don't want to go I'm backing a winner And I'm not afraid of taking the chance (There's no chance, I've got an inside tip) You may say I'm a sinner I've waited too long to get in the game (Just the same, I'll take the chance) There's no way That I'm going to let go I've been reaching long enough to know what I want Is not so hard to touch It just looks that way Because I want it so much That I can taste it And I'm not gonna waste a minutes more time (That's all right for some people) But I won't spend my life waiting in line Reaching out For some shooting star We keep hearing that it's right where we are All I want And all that I can find Is the strength I need To keep up with my mind The race is on The race is on The race is on and I don't want to go
