I’m Not Responsible For Your Happiness (So Why Do I Feel Like I Am?) When we’re driving in my car, driving in my car I hold your pretty little hand Kiss your pretty little hand When we’re drinking at the bar, drinking at the bar Fresh drinks in your pretty little hand A fresh drink in your pretty little hand When we’re lying in my bed, underneath your head My big strong arm My big strong arm When we’re driving in my car, driving in my car, la la la la la I hold your pretty little hand I kiss your pretty little hand But I’m not responsible for your happiness So why do I feel like I am? But I’m not responsible for your happiness So why do I feel like I am? When we’re looking at the stars, looking at the stars I put one in your pretty little hand Put one in your pretty little hand If I were like the sun, if I were like the sun I’d give you just a perfect little tan Give you just a perfect little tan If I could gather all the fun, gather all the fun I’d put it in your pretty little smile Put it in your pretty little smile If I could gather all the stars, gather all the stars, la la la la la I’d put them in your pretty little hand I’d put them in your pretty little hand, but Chorus Bridge: It’s a job that I don’t mind I am happy almost all the time I don’t find it all that tough To give you lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of love So when we’re lying in my bed, lying in my bed Just touch me with your pretty little hands Touch me with your pretty little hands And I’ll give you all the love, give you all the love Love love love love love I’ll give you all the lovin’ that I can, give you all the loving that I can But I’m not responsible . . . .

Nothing But A Good Time Hotter than the ocean baby Hotter than the blue sky Hotter than the sunshine baby Hotter than the cool, cool summertime breeze Hotter than my lover’s arms around me Hotter than her kissing in the middle of the night Hotter than our cold hearts beating side by side Gonna take my little girl for a dirty ride But she said, “what do you want from love? What do you want from love? What do you want from love? What do you want from love?” Nothing but a good time But she said, “what do you want from love? Nothing but a good time

Don’t Run Away Did you hear that noise outside? Is that why you ran to hide? Don’t run away ‘Cause I’m gonna make sure everything’s ok Woo hoo, woo ooh ooh ooh Woo hoo, woo ooh ooh ooh ‘Cause I’m gonna make sure everything’s ok. Banging on our front door Who do you think they’re looking for? Don’t run away ‘Cause I’m gonna make sure everything’s ok Woo hoo, woo ooh ooh ooh Woo hoo, woo ooh ooh ooh ‘Cause I’m gonna make sure everything’s ok. Did you hear that noise outside? Is that why you ran to hide? Don’t run away ‘Cause I’m gonna make sure everything’s ok.

So Fast 03:52
So Fast Suitcase on the floor That’s ok with me, you don’t live here no more I got pictures full of memories And I got pictures no one will ever see Like the time we went down to the Jersey Shore Having a good time, till it started to pour So we ducked for cover in a photo booth And took a picture of me kissing you And I’m never looking back Never looking back On my past ‘cause it happened so fast Why do things work out the way they do? Are you happy now ‘cause I’m not with you? Gonna be strong, gonna walk away And I’m not gonna listen to a word they say And I’m never looking back Never looking back On my past ‘cause it happened so fast Going down, going down Going down, going down Going down, going down Going down, going down So fast

My Old Lady My old lady's got no heart She stole my car and broke my heart She makes me go back to the start 'Cause my old lady's got no heart. But she holds me near and dear My old lady drags me down She holds me down right to the ground She picks me up and spins me round 'Cause my old lady drags me down. But she holds me near and dear My old lady's got no heart She stole my heart and broke my car She makes me go down to the start 'Cause my old lady's got no heart. But she holds me near and dear

Avalon 04:41
Avalon I know a place called Avalon Always breaking like a wave Someday soon it will be gone Along the coast, along the brave Sing of a place called Avalon Bikini girls and handsome boys Feet in the sand, sunglasses on The children playing with their toys Avalon, Avalon You’ll be gone Avalon

Think About Tomorrow “I think that that sounds pretty,” she said Walking through the door “Let’s get out of the city,” she said “And search for something more. There’s something ‘bout the winter That makes me feel so cold There’s something ‘bout the winter That makes me feel so old.” Think about tomorrow Tomorrow never comes The thing about tomorrow Is baby I don’t know Think about the springtime Think about the fall Think about the summer Think about it all Think I’m gonna miss you More than you will know I think I’m gonna miss you Baby when I go (Alt. lyrics: Think about the winter A time to fall in love I think I’m gonna miss you Baby when I go) Think about tomorrow Tomorrow never comes The thing about tomorrow Is baby I don’t know

Barkley 04:10
Barkley There’s a man who sits on the side of the road Why he does it, nobody knows. And he flashes his own gang signs for everyone to see. So take a cruise down the Cuthbert to see Barkley with me. Barkley, do you remember be? I’m driving by for the tenth time today. Barkley, please don’t ever, ever leave. We’d do anything to make you stay. He’s a kind gentle man but he thinks he’s thirteen Takes his shirt off to dance and his sweatpants are green Headphones always on as he throws the punches in the air If you drive by and honk you’ll get that crazy Barkley stare. Barkley, do you remember be? I’m driving by for the tenth time today. Barkley, please don’t ever, ever leave. We’d do anything to make you stay. Remember the times when you went to the little girl’s b-ball games? The people just laughed at ‘ya, aw Barkley, it was a shame But you stood up, threw a snake sign and jumped all around Where’s your crown Barkley ‘cause you’re the king of this town. Barkley, do you remember be? I’m driving by for the tenth time today. Barkley, please don’t ever, ever leave. We’d do anything to make you stay.

Graduation Day Graduation day, it always comes before too long Always comes before too long Graduation day, it’s time to sing a different song Time to sing a different song Graduation day, it’s time to learn to play Learn to play another game Say goodbye to all our friends I hope this sunset never, ever ends Graduation day, it always comes before too long Always comes before too long Graduation day, oh won’t you make my poor heart strong Help me move it all along Graduation day, I won’t stay another day I’ve got another thing to say Say goodbye to all my books Cherish all these last goodbyes and all of these last looks No longer boys, no longer girls Open up my arms and take on the world

about

Ranging from shameless pop to wobbly blues, the collection offers a cross-section of acoustic-based songs tied together by players who wanted, simply, to make music that they would want to listen to. Groove out, belt out, chill out.
