There’s a little bit of beauty
That reaches us each moment
I hope that you can be the one
To help me see it all the time
Even the most imposing doors
Can be opened
I hope that you can be the one
To help me open up my life
Open up my life
Open up my life
Show me
The way to do it right
Give a little bit of your love
To the ones in Dire Straits
They’ll reciprocate
Once they have the means
Old Romeo, he barely even knew his Juliet
Even though they just met
They knew that love is what it seems
Love is what it seems
Love is what it seems
Show me
The way to do it right

Don't Do It!

People always try to tell us what to do
What to eat for breakfast and where to send our kids to school
They all figure that we haven’t got a clue
Because we keep believing that what they tell us is true
But don't do it
Don't do it
Who’s making money when you and I get sick?
You go to your doctor and say “Doc I’ve got this nervous tick”
Doctor says “No problem, take this medicine it’ll do the trick”
“The pharmaceutical company just patented it”
Open up the paper to see what’s going on
We bought a whole bunch of fighter jets, I wonder who we’re gonna bomb
There’s a storm a coming so I guess that this must be the calm
The government wants our support to fix everything they've done wrong
Now I believe in democracy, I think the premise is great
Who you want in office, with your vote you can state
But what gets me frustrated is how some politicians demonstrate
They try to tell us how to love, and they try to tell us how to hate
Now I believe in democracy, I think the premise is great
Who you want in office, with your vote you can state
But what gets me frustrated is how some politicians demonstrate
They try to tell us how to love, and they try to tell us how to hate
There’s a problematic world out there
But if we come together we can make it fair
There’s just one thing we need to do
We need to recognize what isn’t true
I wish we’d all realize that we want peace and not war
What’s all this fighting and all this killing really for?
We have a voice, and together we can roar
When someone says do it, we can say, “no more!”

A Letter

Sometimes I want to write a letter to all the people in my life
Who I probably could have treated better
But whenever I’ve tried to write it, I’ve had to stop,
‘Cause it sounded a little bit over the top
But that’s alright
I have a good feeling
This time
I used to think that the world was a game
And that everybody everywhere oughtta know my name
And I haven’t had time to discover myself
‘Cause I’ve spent all my time discovering someone else
But how was I supposed to know?
In adolescence, we’re egotistical
And I don’t mind getting old
No, I don’t mind getting old
I’ll have a good time
So I went to my room and I struck up a match
And I burned all the paperwork that’s come to stand in for me
And I look to my left and I look to my right
And I’m pretty sure there’s a party going on tonight
But oh what the hell,
I have a good feeling
This time
You see I want to go downstairs and take a picture
And buy another pitcher
For me and all my friends
And I’d like to take you out to see a movie
And cry at all the beauty
And hope it never ends
I can see that there’s something
Happening here
What’s the name of this life?
Why are we here?
When I go to the bar and they ask me to dance I say,
“Oh no, no, I don’t really know how to do that”
And they tell me, “Come on, we’ll have a real nice time,”
“it’ll be the best time of your life”
And I think they’re right
But how was I supposed to know?
In our early twenties, we’re impressionable
And I don’t mind getting old
No, I don’t mind getting old
I’ll have a good time
It’s the small things that make all the difference, that’s the truth
And I’d love to capture them if I could
But I look to my left and I look to my right and I know in my heart
That things are gonna work out right
Anyway
Because I have a good feeling
This time

On the Road

Can you be friendly
And just befriend me?
I ain't much for planning
But I'm getting antsy
I drive a chevy
It's kinda old
But it's automatic
Or so I been told
Now I gotta move me
Them ol' highways soothe me
We'll grab a case a root beer get the engine in gear
And be groovy
So let's get rolling
Let's get undone
Let's hit the road and have some fun
I'm on the road
And I'm free
With you by my side I'm as fine as can be
Llet's cross the country
Eho cares about money
Life ain't worth livin'
If you don't get hungry
And lord knows I do
Got an appetite
But when I'm with you
I'll be feelin' alright
So let's smoke some honey
And let's drink some milk
Stuff's awful funny
In the deep deep south
Let's change direction
Have ourselves a feast
Well I've been out west and they say it's the best
But I've never been east
I'm on the road
And I'm free
And I do believe that
I'm on the road
And I'm free
Was it good for you it was good for me
Damn straight it was
Damn straight it was
Damn straight it was
Damn straight it was
Can you be friendly
And simply befriend me?
And we'll be lovers
Until the end, see
And you'll be happy
And say you love me
And I'll say the same
Because you're so lovely
We'll make a family
Start a life together
When it's just you and me things are fine as can be
And we'll live forever
So let's turn around
And leave the unknown
Yeah it's sure been fun all the things that we've done
But I'm ready for home
I'm on the road
And I'm free
And I hope that you are good to me
