Nothing In Particular
(Bennett)
©2001 The Truth. BMI 2001. Lyrics reprinted with permission.

Verse 1
Starin' out my window yesterday, pretty picture perfect sunrise
Girls in tight shorts walking puppies come my way
Looks like everything is gonna be just fine

Bridge 1
Geriatric hips of plastic try to rollerblade, oh, what a day

Chorus 1
Stick around, the chorus has just begun
Some many things to sing about, I can't pick just one

Verse 2
Five o'clock my shadow seems a little bored, lazy days turns restless night
Girls in fashion sip martinis freshly poured
shaken not stirred, the trendy type, all right

Bridge 2
Wanna be like Master P, hip-hop guys crowd the floor, I head for the door

Chorus 2
Stick around, the chorus has just begun
Some many things to sing about, I can't pick just one
Hitch a ride, 1-5-7 Riverside
So many things to sing about, I just can't decide

Solo (Guitar)

Bridge 3
Fantastic viagra addicts bustin' up my game, oh, what a shame

Chorus 2 - Solo Outro

Stick around….Hitch a ride X 2 (Fade)

Water Street
(Bennett)
©2001 The Truth. BMI 2001. Lyrics reprinted with permission.

Verse 1
Standin' in the rain, already wet anyway, when suddenly I saw things a little clearer
Any other day, the dark skies would not go away, now somehow the light seems a little nearer

Bridge 1
And I'm headin' that way

Chorus 1
Take a walk down to Water Street, there's a chapel that I need to see
Thinkin' about changin' some things and I need to tell God I believe

Verse 2
There's a girl called Jane, she can't seem to find her way
If she holds on, I know someone will heal her

Bridge 2
And I'm sure that He will

Chorus 2
She took a walk down to Water Street, there's a chapel she needed to see
She thought about changin' some things, and she needs to get back to believin'

Solo (Keys)

Chorus 2

Chorus 1
I'll take a walk down to Water Street, there's a chapel that I need to see
Thinkin' about changin' some things and I need to tell God,
yes I need to tell God, eh, that I believe
I need to tell God that I believe

Solo Outro (Guitar)

Don't Put Your X On Me
(Bennett, Kunkel)
©2001 The Truth. BMI 2001. Lyrics reprinted with permission.

Verse 1
Why do you spout misery, I can't buy into your plea
Your suffering is hip today, but now you're what you sought to slay
Sorry, but you cannot speak for me

Bridge 1
You're complaining, you're grumbling, you're suicide and you're mumbling
Well slack if it's happening, but don't put your brand on me

Chorus
Don't put your X on me, that's not what I believe
Don't put your X on me, I'm not your whippin' boy
Don't put your X on me, that's not what I believe
Don't put your X on me, I'm not your guinea boy, yeah - Uugh!

Verse 2
BOOM! Until there's nothin' left, and now you blame me for all this mess
I only know what I've been shown, I only learn what you have known
Don't put my face on your evening news

Bridge 2
To clip me and bite me, to build me up and then slight me
You show what I might be, but let's take a look at you
You're tired and you're jaded, you're old and antiquated
Your ways are so dated, so don't you label me!

Chorus

Solo (Guitar)

Bridge 3
What torch do you carry, your hero's dead and buried
Your sad devotion is scary, I have no use for you
So balance your black book, I'm cynical of your outlook
I want back what you took, so don't you label me!

Chorus

Calles De Muerte
(Bennett)
©2001 The Truth. BMI 2001. Lyrics reprinted with permission.

Guitar Solo Intro - Verse 1
Sunrise burns the mist and wakes my family, uninvolved the night before
I've pissed my life away, nothing left worth fighting for
I cry for the kids who might not, live to see seventeen
My heart goes out to the ones who bow theirs heads and believe

Bridge
What's done can't be changed

Chorus 1
Brother, I hope you sleep at night, Sister I'm sorry that I never had a chance to say goodbye to you
If I were there, I swear I'd help you through, but every night I still pray for you (sung low)

Verse 2
The streets run red with innocent blood, proud people look their doors
Instead of climbing out, offer our hands and ask for more

Bridge

Chorus 1(end sung mid)
Brother, I hope you sleep at night, Sister I'm sorry that I never had a chance to say goodbye to you
If I were there, I swear I'd help you through, but every night I still pray for you

Piano Solo - Guitar Solo

Chorus 2
Brother, I hope you sleep at night, Sister I'm sorry that I never had a chance to say goodbye to you
If I were there, I swear I'd help you through
Brother, I hope you sleep at night, Sister I'm sorry that I never had a chance to say goodbye to you
but every night I still pray for you (sung high)

Sunday Morning
(The Truth)
©2001 The Truth. BMI 2001. Lyrics reprinted with permission.

Verse 1
Well, it's Sunday morning again and the sun is comin' up slowly
It burns the mist of below from this sleepy hometown valley
Today there are no hands on my time and no chains left to bind me
Ooh and I walk these streets all alone while they're desolate and empty

Bridge 1
Ooh and I could live this way forever, let the days pass by
And I'm feelin' fine, when I wake Sunday mornin'

Chorus

Verse 2
The 9:10's runnin' on time, as it is and always will be
And the Faithful line up above with the bells of St. John's ringing
Seems like nothin' around here has changed and maybe that's how it should be

Bridge 2
Yeah, if I could keep this day from endin', hold back the hands of time
Then everything'd be fine, every day I'd wake up to Sunday mornin'

Chorus

Middle 8
Yeah, I'd wake up and be right there, feelin' of peace, not havin' a care
When I wake up Sunday mornin', yeah!

Solo (Guitar)

Verse 3
Now it's Sunday evenin' again and the sun is setting slowly
Ooh and I never want Monday to come, but it will eventually

Bridge 3
Ooh and I can wait 1-6-8 hours, let the days pass by
And I'm feelin' fine, when I wake up Sunday mornin'

Chorus

One Of Those Things
(Kunkel)
©2001 The Truth. BMI 2001. Lyrics reprinted with permission.

Guitar Solo Intro - Verse1
I remember holdin' Gina, she was holdin' on so tight
I told her, forever's such a long time when you're only seventeen
But I guess it's just one of those things
I guess it's just one of those things

Verse 2
Ooh, I remember holdin' Jenny, oh Jenny, seems I didn't understand That sometimes it takes a miracle to make two worlds collide
But I guess it's just one of those things
I guess it's just one of those things

Bridge
I'm just some long forgotten story, born to be a memory
I gotta do some rearrangin', I need time to make these changes
And stand up on my feet again

Solo (Guitar) - Bridge

Verse 3
Oh time!, (is) movin' like a river, and yesterday is washed away
When you let go of your freedom, it's so hard to say goodbye
But I guess it's just one of those things
I guess it's just one of those things, yeah

One of those things X 6 (with vocal and guitar fills)
