Lyrics

A collection of lyrics by musician Steve Whitworth.

Turn The Page

I walk in sorrow
Shame and dismay
Sacrificed tomorrow
To live for today

I’m trying to turn the page
Trying to turn the page
On my life

Sunsets have faded
Into the night
Worn down and jaded
Didn’t do what was right

Turn this thing around
Lost but can be found
Turn it inside out
Cast away these doubts

What about tomorrow
What about tomorrow
What about tomorrow
What about tomorrow

Warning

What if I had told you
What if I had warned you
What if I had gone out of my way
You’d just do it again, do it again
Even if I had forsaken
These rules and regulations
What if I had held my tongue
You’d just do it again, do it again

So nice to meet you
Don’t think I caught your name
But then all you scum down here
You’re really all the same

You’re common misfortune
Is not my time or space
How about we all agree
You are nothing but a disgrace

Oh but your heart needs a reason
To go on living this way
It can’t all just be about treason
That keeps you in this prisoners play

If you try to break my trust
I’ll grind you down to dust
Try just once and disobey
They’ll only be hell to pay

Maybe Tomorrow

Maybe tomorrow 
Will be here today
We’ll shed this sorrow
And make a new way

‘Cause they so like pushing us
So like pushing us ‘round
And they so like kicking us
So like kicking us down

It’s never been wrong
To follow your heart
Just need to be strong
Stay true from the start

Cause they so like putting us
So like putting us down
And they so like kicking us
So like kicking us ‘round

You want it
You need it
You feel it
How long will it be?

Babylon Calling

You’re all alone
Hidden inside your misery
Trying to understand
Everything you see

Making that slide into
Obscurity
Taking that last ride to
Insecurity
There’s no where left to find
You’re caught between the lines

It’s just Babylon calling
Babylon calling

Everything you guarded
Is unlocked without a key
All your nightmares
Have come to set you free

Hanging by a thread to
Complacency
Wanting a free pass for
Degeneracy
Too late to win the game
You’re a spark without a flame

Pulls Me In

Looking into the corners of my mind
Searching for a truth now gone blind
Can’t see through what was to be
Was it always just fantasy
Or something more justified

A vision waits for me in the mist
It calls my name I can’t resist
It speaks in whispers sings in rhymes
Of distant memories yet to find
Lost in pages long since scribed

It pulls me in reaching for me
It pulls me in reaching for me
It pulls me in reaching for me
Aaah aah aah

A hidden treasure to be found
A golden memory locked in a crown
Mysterious wonders tales and signs
Strewn across the sands of time
Waiting to be opened once again

Drunk and Stoned

I want to get drunk
I want to get stoned
Want to feel just like I did
Twenty four hours ago

I want to get high
High as a kite
Unplug, tune out and get away
Tell the whole world goodbye

I want to get drunk
I want to get stoned

I want to go fishing
In my boat
Drive my truck shoot my guns
I want to be left alone

I’m going to say
What’s on my mind
If you don’t want to hear it
You can kiss my royal behind

I want to go fishing
In my boat

I want a woman
Who wants a man
For all the things that she is
What God made in his plan

Don’t want no messing
With my mind
Is he a she or she a him
It’s that not hard to understand

I want a woman
Who wants a man

So Easy

Say you wanna touch the sky
Baby come along with me
You say you wanna feel so good
Babe I’m going hp you to be

‘Cause I have a potion
Make you feel right
Girl I got your remedy
And I’ll take you higher
Than a bird on a wire
Babe I’m gonna help you to see

That it’s so easy to hang around with me
Ya it’s so easy so come and hitch a ride with me

Say you wanna run wild
I’ll take you past the setting sun
Say you wanna fill your dreams
Girl I’m gonna be the one

‘Cause I got a notion
That love is the answer
That’s all we have to believe
I’ll be your teacher
Your lover and preacher
Girl I’m gonna set you free

Breakdown

Some people they want to
Always have it their own way
Some people they like to
Shoot down everything you say

I’ve never been one to
Get in anybody’s face
If I have to I will
Run you down and out of the race

Just lay your money down
And stare on down that line

Breakdown
Feel it coming round
Gonna kick your ass
Right out of town
Breakdown
Turn it all around
Take a good look
At what’s going down
Breakdown
Get down on your knees
You should have known
When to say please
Breakdown
It’s just you and me
And forever

Some people believe
They’ve got it all figured out
Some people think
All you have to do is shout

I’ve never been one to
Get in anybody’s face
But if I have to I will
Run you down and out of the race

Just lay your money down
And stare on down that line

Sold On Time

Everyday I just want to get out of here
You are always on my mind can’t you hear
And I’ve just been waiting here for so long
Some days I just don’t want to carry on

Get behind the wheel of my car
Put it in gear take off somewhere far
I got two tickets where I want to be
So let’s run wild and be happy and free

I got sold on time
I got traded in for a nickel and a dime
I got sold on time
I don’t know what is yours and what’s mine

Everything you say don’t really mean much
Trade it all in just to make a buck
And all you really want me for
Is to be your slave from eight to four

Much Too Much

Heading out on a midnight train
Down a one way track
Hoping I don’t forget my name
They’ll be time for that

There’s a woman I used to know
With the devil in her eyes
She taught me all there is to know
She was a wolf in disguise

And it’s much too much
Much too much to me
And it’s much too much
Mama let me be
Much too much to me

She cast a loving spell on me
She made my sight go blind
There was nothing she couldn’t be
To send me out of my mind

She knew just how to shake her hips
And make my senses shine
She knew just how to kiss my lips
She always took her time
