The Distance

Taylor Hicks The Distance歌詞
1.What's Right Is Right

作詞:Simon Climie, Dennis Morgan

When there's sadness in your eyes, I see it
You can't hide what's swaying on your mind
When there's trouble in your life, I feel it

What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right

When there's joy inside your heart, I'll share it
When you gotta dream, I say reach for the sky
And if you ever fall, I'll catch you

What's wrong with you is wrong with me
What's right is right

I don't wanna go a single night without you
I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
And when you cry, I'm crying

What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right

This I promise you forever
With you all the way to the finish line
And we're gonna cross that bridge together
Marching step by step, walking side by side

I don't wanna go a single night without you
And I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
And when you cry, I'm crying

What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right

I don't wanna go a single night without you
I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
When you cry, I'm crying

What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right

I don't wanna go a single night without you
And I don't wanna know what an empty bed is like
When you laugh, I'm laughing
When you cry, I'm crying

What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
And what's right is right
What's wrong with you is wrong with me
What's right is right


2.Seven Mile Breakdown

作詞:Wynn Allen Christian, Taylor Reuben Hicks

Well, sometimes I get lonely
And that's a hard thing to say
Till I wound up in the wrong side of Mississippi
A little more than a getaway

Don't talk to yourself
'Cause after a while you might find
Those empty fields of flat lands
Might make you have to lose your mind

Feel the heat and the cold
Cut the air with a knife
But Georgia's is passing through it
You never been there your whole life

Well, don't you know it will get through baby?
Well, I just don't see how
You know it's written on the faces
Of every little passing town

The sun is sinking down over the delta
Seven miles is the only sign that lights our way
I hope someone is there to care about me
I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way, alright

Well, let me get right down to it
I just can't get enough
You know you hate being down
Before you're in love, be in love

So come on Mississippi, yeah
Don't point your finger at me
Just put me on your straight and narrow
Just as far as my eyes can see

The sun is sinking down over the delta
Seven miles is the only sign that lights our way
I hope someone is there to care about me
I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way

I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way
I'm gonna tear this whole place down and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way, I'll be on my way, on my way


3.Hide Nor Hair

Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
And I was, burning up inside
My baby walked, in my bedroom
And I could hardly open my eyes

She said that she was going to the pawnshop
Just across the track
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
And then she said she would be right back

But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
I remember so well when she slammed the door
But the girl didn't make it back no more
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day

Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to
death
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out
for myself
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew
They said, 'No, by heck, but we will get her yet', because they
was lookin' for her too

Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day,
yeah
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track
But I know my baby didn't make it back
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day

(instrumental break)

Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the
phone
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone
She said, 'He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago'
I added two and two, and here's what I got: I got I'll never see
that girl no more

Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day,
yeah
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
Because he's got medicine and, money too
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day

Whoaah, no

5.New Found Freedom

作詞:Simon Climie, Taylor Hicks, Dennis Morgan

New found freedom, I'm leaving the past behind
New found freedom, making up for lost time
Dug a little deeper, moved it on down the line
Must've been sleepin', it's about time I opened my eyes

When I walk I walk with confidence
I hold my head up high
When I talk I've got a positive sense
Of who I am inside

New found freedom
Oh, let the light be my life
New found freedom
Oh, gonna spread my wings and fly

It's no secret where I've been before
Turned that corner standing at the front door
Starting down a new road leaving the other side
Gonna release it, breaking away the ties that bind

When I walk I walk with confidence
I hold my head up high
When I talk I've got a positive sense
Of who I am inside

New found freedom
Oh, let the light be my life
New found freedom
Oh, gonna spread my wings and fly

When the earth shook that's all it took to make a change in me
It's a new way, a new day, things ain't what they use to be

New found freedom
Let the light be my life
New found freedom
Gonna spread my wings and fly

When the earth shook that's all it took to make a change in me
It's a new way, a new day, things ain't what they use to be

New found freedom
Let the light live in my life
New found freedom
Gonna spread my wings and fly

New found freedom
Let the light be my life
New found freedom
Gonna spread my wings and fly

Freedom
Let the light be my life
New found freedom
Gonna spread my wings and fly

Freedom
Let the light be my life
New found freedom
Gonna spread my wings and fly

Freedom
Let the light be my life
New found freedom
Gonna spread my wings and fly
Spread my wings and fly


6.The Distance

作詞:Kenny Greenberg, Taylor Hicks, Gary Tolbert Nicholson

I saw an old friend yesterday
Guess we both had too much to say
Seems we've taken different sides
All caught up in politics and pride

If we can get beyond the blame
I know we'd see we're still the same
The distance between us will fade
There'll be no distance between us someday

In that distant land across the sea
They are people just like you and me
They just wanna see their children grow
And feel the same love we all know

When we get beyond all the hurt and blame
And realize we're all the same
The distance between us will fade
There'll be no distance between us someday

We can rise up toward each other
We can build a bridge brother to brother
Take the steps we need to take to get us to a better place
Where the distance between us fades away
There'll be no distance between us one of these days
One of these days

We can rise up towards each other
We can build a bridge brother to brother
Take the steps we need to take to get us to a better place
Where the distance between us fades away
There'll be no distance between us one of these days
One of the these days

We can rise up towards each other
We can build a bridge brother to brother
No distance between us one of these days


7.Nineteen

作詞:Tom Hambridge, Gary Nicholson, Jeffrey Steele

Nineteen, the number on his back
Voted captain of the high school football team
Took us all the way to state
Got a scholarship to play down in Tennessee

He could catch, he could throw, he could run
He could go like you've never seen
Nineteen but on the day those twin towers came down
His whole world turned around

He told 'em all I can't play ball
There's a war on now
He marched right in with a few good men
And joined the marines at nineteen

He's the boy next door
He might have carried your bags at the grocery store
He's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream at nineteen

There's a sniper out there in the dark somewhere and a solider's
down
We need someone who can duck and run and get him out some how
Want one good man, raise his hand and take one for the team
Well, how 'bout you nineteen?

He's the boy next door
He might've carried your bags at the grocery store
Now he's somebody's son in a hole with a gun in a foreign land
Tryin' to hold on to his American dream, nineteen, nineteen

They brought him home today with a big parade
Down on main street
He got a purple heart and a silver star
A solider gave a speech

Said he could catch, he could throw
He could run, he's the one that rescued me
Could have played for Tennessee
He was nineteen, he was only nineteen


8.I Live On A Battlefield

作詞:Nick Lowe, Paul Carrack

I live on a battlefield surrounded by the ruins of the love we
built
And then destroyed between us the smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble I'm a dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified

My new home is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy waters and bits of broken heart
All around well there is desolation
Scenes of a devastation of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield, I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield
The one where not one single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horrifying sweet memories, memories of a bygone
situation
Now shattered, Lord and battered, lie scattered all around

My new home is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy waters, yes and bits of broken heart
All around well there is desolation
And scenes of a devastation of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield

My new home is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy waters, yes and bits of broken heart
All around well there is desolation
And scenes of a devastation of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield, yes live on a battlefield
Live on a battlefield, live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield, I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield, I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield, I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield, I live on a battlefield

I live on a battlefield, I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield


9.Yes We Can


10.Maybe You Should

作詞:Taylor Hicks, Gary Tolbert Nicholson, Mike Reed

I look around this room and feel the pull of tender years
Before we knew enough to be afraid of all our fears
Baby there was no corner we couldn't fight our way out of
And every thought of leaving left us leaning on this love

We had it all you know before you started letting go

If you can walk away tonight, give it up for good
Throw it all away like we swore we never would
If you can tear down everything we built, deny everything we
felt
I guess there's a lot that I misunderstood
If you can leave here tonight, baby maybe you should

Baby I just keep on seeing all that moonlight shining down
The way our love could light up this little Alabama town
So I keep holding on to hope still finding reasons to believe
'Cause all I ever got from you was always just enough for me

But if it's not for you do what you've got to do

If you can walk away tonight, give it up for good
Throw it all away like we swore we never would
If you can tear down everything we built, deny everything we
felt
I guess there's a lot that I misunderstood
If you can leave here tonight, baby maybe you should
If you can leave here tonight, baby maybe you should, maybe you
should


11.Once Upon A Lover Of Mine

作詞:Simon Climie, Taylor Hicks, Dennis Morgan

She was my only one, love me till kingdom come
She took me to that place I've never been before
Her body in the night revealed by candle light
Her Spanish eyes would shine like a diamonds on the shore

I need her, oh my señorita
Love was so much sweeter with you in my life
Now I know what my heart lacks
Every time I think back to once upon a lover of mine

I should've have read her before that letter
I should've never let her get inside my heart
She led a gypsy life, disappeared into the night
I miss those Spanish eyes lighting up the dark

I need her, oh my señorita
Love was so much sweeter with you in my life
Now I know what my heart lacks
Every time I think back to once upon a lover of mine

The moonlight shadows fell when underneath her spell
Back then when all was well, once upon a lover, one upon a lover
Can't get her off my mind, comes back a thousand times
Found out that love was blind, once upon a lover, once upon a
lover of mine

I need her, oh my señorita
Love was so much sweeter with you in my life
God knows that I miss her, her name I still whisper
How I'd love to kiss her just one more time
Now I know what my heart lacks
Every time I think back to once upon a lover of mine


12.Keepin It Real

作詞:Tom Hambridge, Taylor Hicks, Delbert Mcclinton, Gary Tolbert
Nicholson

Her daddy had the money, all the milk and honey
She never had to pay any dues
Don't know what her name is but man she sure is famous
She keeps herself all over the news

They're paying close attention, the new Inside Edition
Is feeding all they can to her fans
She's got the paparazzi behind her Macerate
Their snapping off as much as they can

I say why, why, why has it got be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off just keeping it real, better off keeping it real

She got a brand new movie 'bout giving up the bootie
She showed it all and nobody cared
And made her such a mess when she didn't get the press
So she went and cut off all her hair

I say why, why, why has it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off keeping it real, better off keeping it real

I say why, why, why has it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off keeping it real, better off keeping it real

He said he didn't do it, they couldn't hold him to it
He smiled and walked away a free man
The glove didn't fit him, the jury said acquit him
It all worked out the way that he planned

But he couldn't live without it, he wrote a book about it
Yeah, everything he did that night
They didn't get him for the crime but he's gonna do the time
'Cause he's got to get back in the spotlight

I say why, why, why has it got to be such a big deal?
We try, try, try
I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off just keeping it real

I've come to the conclusion we're living an illusion
Better off keeping it real, oh better off keeping it real
Oh we're better off just keeping it real


13.Indiscriminate Act Of Kindness


14.Wedding Day Blues

作詞:Taylor Hicks, Alan Little

Today is the day, the day that I dread
I hardly wanna get up out of my bed
My old woman's getting married and I'm a little jealous
I'm takin' a whole lotta kids from the other fellas
I'm goin' outta my way, ain't goin' to waste no time
I'm goin' to make that little woman all mine

There she stood in the wedding aisle
And the train on her gown had nearly stretched a mile, well
What would I do to be in that man's shoes
I've got the heels runnin' all with my old woman blues
Oh, she's mine now, we won't be back soon
It might have been his wedding but it's my honeymoon

At the reception everythin' was great
I ate the wedding cake right off the golden plate
They asked me to leave but I was feelin' bold
So I downed a bottle of wine that was a hundred years old
I'm goin' outta my way, ain't goin' to waste no time
And I'm goin' to make that little woman all mine

As they were leavin' in a big Limousine car
Well, I remembered that I parked my car, way pretty far
She let me in when I asked them for a ride
I threw the groom out of the Limo and made love to the bride
Oh, she's mine now, we won't be back soon
It might have been his wedding but it's my honeymoon

Oh, she's mine now, she's singin' a different tune
Well, it might have been his wedding but it's my honeymoon
