ROLL WITH THE WIND
CHORUS
I’ll roll with the wind and roll with the wild
Roll with the moon and roll with the miles
I’m Gonna put one foot in front of the other do it again and again my brother As the miles go by like the blink of an eye I’ll ride the wind I’ll learn to fly
CHORUS
I’ll roll with the wind and roll with the wild
roll with the moon and roll with the miles
When the rain and wind are beating me down,
I’ve got to swim to keep from drowning
I feel the pull of the undertow, I can’t stay here I ‘ve gotta go
And then no matter what they say I’ve got to find my own way
CHORUS
I’ll roll with the wind and roll with the wild
roll with the moon and roll with the mile
Gonna put one foot in front of the other, Do it again and again my brother
CHORUS
I’ll roll with the wind and roll with the wild
roll with the moon and roll with the miles
Roll with the miles

BREAKDOWN
Miles behind us, many miles somehow
Smiling faces, trading places now
CHORUS
We’ll find our way to the showdown
Find our way through the letdown
Find our way to the Breakdown
From the valley, mountains seem so far
Then the landslide, brings it to your door
We’ll find our way to the showdown
Find our way through the letdown
Find our way to the Breakdown
Does it feel good, does it make you whole
Does it tease you, Satisfy your soul
We’ll find our way to the showdown
Find our way through the letdown
Find our way to the Breakdown

Private Idaho
03:46
|
|||
|
Whatta you say we call it a day and lay our troubles down.
They see it their way and I see it mine just like thunder rolling through town.
Best intentions fall so flat when they make me feel unseen.
Just like a bad guy in an old time Western, I’m going to “giddyup” from this scene.
CHORUS:
Had to find my own Private Idaho.
One… with an exceptional view.
Surround myself with love.
And baby I got my eye on you.
Isolation and rejection
It seems like “us and them.”
A history of pain, an ocean of truth
And the lies of brothers and men
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
They say it’s only their way.
Or I should hit the highway.
So I’m going my own way.
I’m hittin’ the Highway.
Whispers and lies won’t hold me back
From a future I have named
I speak up, I stick out
I’m my own season of change
CHORUS 2X

Life's What You Make It

LIFE’S WHAT YOU MAKE IT
Up and down and in and out of my skin
Scream and shout my insides out again
CHORUS
The mirror claims that it’s not me
The wishing well is never free
Surrender, surrender, surrender
Life’s what you make it
Take the evil and leave behind the good
In the meantime I might be misunderstood
CHORUS
The mirror claims that it’s not me
The wishing well is never free
Surrender, surrender, surrender
Life’s what you make it
Up and down and in and out of my skin
Break me out of this prison I’m in
CHORUS
The mirror claims that it’s not me
The wishing well is never free
Surrender, surrender, surrender
Life’s what you make it

TATTOO
Tell me your Secrets
And show me your scars
In this season of fear
Life can be hard
And all of the things
We used to believe
And the places
Where we grieve
Everything's weird
Everything's strange
All the cards up our sleeves
We're all rearranged
And the hand that
We've been dealt
Is a hand of change
CHORUS
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty
And they guide the light
To save the love of my life
And when the tough
Times come
We're up for the fight
A punch to the left
A swing to the right
Releasing this
Invisible foe
With radiant light
CHORUS
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty
And they guide the light
To save the love of my life
Tell me your secrets
And show me your scars
In this season of truth
Life can be hard
And all of the things
We still believe
And the places
Where we grieve
CHORUS
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty, no!
And they guide the light
To save the love of my life
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty
And they guide the light
To save the love
Of my life
Of my life
You are the love
You are the love
You are the love
Of my life

No Time To Cry

NO TIME TO CRY
An eye for an eye is what they say
But you can’t keep carrying on that way
And you know in your heart that when you die
It leaves you no more time to cry
When you take it on the chin and you let it go
You give away your heart and soul
Then you make it all better and you wonder why
And it leaves you no more time to cry
CHORUS
No time to cry
No time to cry
After all these years of breakin’ it down
You get tired of wearing a thorny crown
You’ve gotta get away from the darkened sky
And it leaves you no more time to cry
CHORUS
No time to cry
No time to cry

ROCK BOTTOM ©Cari Minor 2023 ASCAP/Strangebyrds Music
I feel like I hit rock bottom
Rock bottom's not the place for me
I feel like a thousand waves
Have swept me out to sea
And it is cold and it is gray
And I hope, you’re gonna be okay
You find out who your friends are
When your world turns upside down
Some people turn their backs
While others stick around
And they all say
You’re gonna be okay
How do they know
You’re gonna be okay
CHORUS
Are they waking up in the morning
Standing in my shoes
Drinking my cup of coffee
And singing the blues
I feel like I'm invisible
Sitting in the waiting room
Like an apparition
Everyone looks right through
But I am here everyday
I'm telling you
You’re gonna be okay
CHORUS
Cause you wake up in the morning
Standing in your shoes
Drinking your cup of coffee
And singing the blues
BRIDGE
And just so you know
With our world turned upside down
I won't turn my back on you baby
I'll be around
I feel like I'm invincible
Even when I'm feeling weak
I feel like I am swimming back
From that ocean gray and bleak
And I see you
Standing on the shore
And I hear you say
We're gonna be okay
CHORUS
Cause we wake up in the morning
Standing in our shoes
Drinking our cup of coffee
And killing the blues
Killing the blues
I feel like I hit rock bottom
Rock bottom's not the place for me

SPARE PARTS
The miracle of you, is there was nothing I could do
Skins to be shed, Blue turns to red
Spare parts of me and you
Spare parts can be renewed, two hearts can be fused
They make us who we are, the truth can’t be far
Spare parts of me and you
Spare Parts, put me back together with my
Spare parts, I love you forever with my
Spare parts, this is something new
There’s pieces that we keep, when you dig down deep
Battling the rage, burning the sage
Spare parts of me and you
Spare Parts, put me back together with my
Spare parts, I love you forever with my
Spare parts, this is something new

Every Man For Himself

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
We only know what they tell us
They only tell us what they want us hear
If there’s a beast in the cellar
They’ll tell you that there’s nothing to fear
CHORUS
No one’s looking out for you
That’s one thing that you know is true
It’s every man for himself
Every man for himself
If you’re caught in the middle
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
You know you can’t trust the devil
You better jump in the water to flee
CHORUS
No one’s looking out for you
That’s one thing that you know is true
It’s every man for himself
Every man for himself
In the shadow of the gaslight
It’s hardtop see which way to go
It looks like were headed down down down
To what nobody knows
CHORUS
No one’s looking out for you
That’s one thing that you know is true
It’s every man for himself
Every man for himself
Every man for himself
Every man for himself
Every man for himself
Every man for himself
Every man for himself
Every man for himself

My Favorite Season

How would you feel if I were equal to you?
You could walk a mile in my shoes
Men having babies could change a few rules
What if the worst thing happened to you?
CHORUS
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
Why is it you don't hear my voice?
Why won't you let me keep my choice?
If god is good and god is great
He's a dollar short and two days late
CHORUS
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
BRIDGE
And sticks and stones
May break my bones
And your laws
Could surely hurt me...yeah
There are people in this world
Who don't want to give us girls
The right to speak, the right to read books
They shoot their guns before they look
CHORUS
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
My favorite season is the fall of patriarchy
Well you can look but don't touch
You can look but don't touch
You can look but don’t touch

Won't Take No

WON’T TAKE NO
You can string a wire, to trip us up
You can put us down, but we won’t give up
You can dig a Canyon, we’ll find a bridge
You can hide on a mountaintop, we’ll rise up
We’ll rise up
CHORUS
Cause we won’t take no for an answer
Won’t take no for an answer
Won’t take no for an answer no more
In your Ivory Tower, you sit and judge
With a talisman on your shoulder, like a grudge
You hate the world, but you hate yourself more
It’s only your reflection you see when
We’re knockin’ at your door, knockin’ at your door
CHORUS
Cause we won’t take no for an answer
Won’t take no for an answer
Won’t take no for an answer no more
We’ve been through it all, so many times
We can see it coming down the road
For miles and miles and miles
CHORUS
Cause we won’t take no for an answer
Won’t take no for an answer
Won’t take no for an answer no more

BIG WAVE TINY BOAT
CHORUS
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You’ve got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You’ve got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
In the ocean of life, there are many waves
They can take your life, or make you brave
And with all your might, you could ride the swell
And live to tell
CHORUS
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You’ve got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
BRIDGE
Well a boat ain’t nothing but a hole in the water
With your baggage and the things that weigh you down
And the most important part, is the beat of your heart
And the journey through the storm to get back home
As time goes by, you understand
That after all you’re just a man
Who can only control what is in his hands
What’s in his hand’s
CHORUS
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You’ve got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You’ve got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
It’s a great big wave and a tiny little boat
You’ve got to stay afloat, you got to stay afloat
