It's alright if you love me, It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away honey,
Iv'e got this feeling you won't
Say there ain't no use in pretending,
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do,
We said all there is to say
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown, take me through the night
Breakdown, go ahead give it to me,
Breakdown, it's alright, It's alright, it's alright
Well, she was an American girl,
Raised on promises
She
couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After
all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die
Tryin', she Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Chorus:
Oh yeah, alright,
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl.
Well, it was
kind of cold that night,
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeah, she could hear the
cars roll by,
Out on four forty one like
Waves crashing on the beach,
And for
one des'rate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when
something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
Chorus
Listen To Her Heart
You say you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
You keep
thinkin' that her mind is gonna change
But I know everything is OK
She's gonna
listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
Well, she might need a lot of
lovin'
But she don't need you
You want me to think I'm being used
You want her to
think it's over
You can't see it doesn't matter what you do
Buddy you don't even
now her
(Chorus)
And you just can't creep up behind her
And you can't understand
that she's my girl, my girl
(Chorus)
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
CHORUS
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Well the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
CHORUS
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there
CHORUS
Free Fallin'
She's a good girl, loves her mama
loves Jesus, and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
there's a free-way runnin' through the yard
and I'm a bad boy, cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
Chorus:And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
move west down Ventura Blvd.
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
Repeat Chorus
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile
Repeat Chorus
Runnin' Down a Dream
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'
Chorus
Yeah runnin down a dream that never would come to me
workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
runnin' down a dreamI felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
the last three days the rain was un-stoppable
it was always cold, no sunshine
[Chorus]
I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
there's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
