Well baby that's how it seems,
You're livin' a dream.

You see me on the T.V.

Are filled with hate and disease.

So you can feel at ease.

In order to survive.

3. Restless Breed
When the sun goes down,
In this border town,
And a fear sets in,
And gets higher.
Down in the streets,
In the desert heat,
Ride seven men, with their hearts afire.
They ride through the town,
And it burns to the ground.
There'll be no vengeance,
and greed.
'Cause they're the Restless Breed.
This outlaw attack,
They strike from the back.
Is just the revenge, that they need
'Cause their brothers they fell
on the wishing well
Now this town, will surely bleed
They ride through the town,
And it burns to the ground.
and greed
'Cause they're the Restless Breed.
They'll take what they need,
And give it to the Restless Breed
4. When I Was Young
The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then.
And times were very hard,
When I was young.
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And the girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a ball
When I was young
When I was young it was more important
Paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah... when I was young
Met my first love, at thirteen,
She was brown, and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot,
When I was young.
The wind was so much colder then
My father was a soldier then.
Times were very hard,
When I was young.
When I was young it was more important
Paid more pain but the laughter much louder yeah... when I was young!!

6. Loved by You
I was talkin' 'bout you,
Out on the street.
It won't be long,
Before we finally meet.
I played my cards,
And now my hand was all right.
And now I'm searchin',
But I don't see the light.
We had some action,
But it split, at the seams.
The situation had me,
Weak in the knees.
Now you look for me,
To hold you near.
I still need you,
So dry your tears.
I only wanted to be,
Loved by you.
Loved by you, and you.
Loved by you.
Loved by you.
You gave me f
All around in my brain.
Now just don't
I've got to feel it again.
My mind is achin',
And my body's afire.
There was a time,
You acted so refined.
There was
You could blow my mind.
Now I'm lookin',
At the way you changed,
Here we
the same old game.
I only wanted to be,
Loved by you.
Loved by you.
You know what Daddy likes...
7. Over to You
I can see you 'cross endless miles,
I can see your distant smile
Hangin' over
I'm a rover, living all over
follow
Give it time, think it over
Roll it over
It's only a matter of time,
only a matter of time,
Before I turn it.
Only a matter of time,
over to you, over to you, over to you, over to you
I'm a soldier, living by the rules
so cool
silly fool
I'm a sailor
seas, change directions
with every passing breeze
Shoot the breeze
8. Showdown
Girl, I've known you for a long time,
So many times, you made me out the fool.
They say love is blind,
Babe, I'm too blind to see,
And now it's a showdown,
Between you and me.
Showdown,
I can't take it anymore.
Showdown,
Now I'm walking out the door.
I've done my time,
Now I've got better things to do.
Now it's a showdown,
Between me and you.
Now you've got me spinnin', round and round.
I can't tell which way I'm turning.
I've been the fool,
And you've been so cruel.
Now it's a showdown,
Between me and you.
Showdown,
I can't take it anymore.
Showdown,
Now I'm walking out the door.
I've done my time,
Now I've got better things to do.
Now it's a showdown,
Between me and you.
9. Dream Away
a lasting memory
A thousand different dreams
I traveled over a golden rainbow
There's more I have to see
along country miles
find I need
sit so patiently
I ever find my lady
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
have all my boyhood memories
locked inside my dreams
Never knew this hard
really need
I'm standin' at the station
raincoat in my hand
lonely girls
headin' out to distant lands
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
