Beautiful Day lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

(from "Finding Neverland" soundtrack)

Oh, what a day to be here

It's only at this time of year

Oh, what a sight, what a scene

And we can live in this dream

It's that time in your life

You need the day to happen twice

I'll take a pad and a pen

And hope it happens again

Oh, what a day to be out

There's music in every sound

It's good to breathe in the air

It's all around us, everywhere

It's that time in your life

You want a day to happen twice

So between now and then

I hope it happens again

Oh, come and share this beautiful day

The sun is here again

Until tomorrow begins

We'll stay right here

Oh, come and share this beautiful day

Before it's taken away

The whole world is smiling on this beautiful day

Oh, what a day to be out

There's music in every sound

It's good to breathe in the air

It's all around us, everywhere

It's that time in your life

You want a day to happen twice

So between now and then

I hope it happens again

Oh, come and share this beautiful day

The sun is here again

Until tomorrow begins

We'll stay right here

Oh, come and share this beautiful day

Before it's taken away

The whole world is smiling on this beautiful day

Listen to the laughter on this beautiful day

Happy ever after on this beautiful day

It's that time in your life

You want a day to happen twice

I'll take a pad and a pen

And hope it happens again

Oh, come and share this beautiful day

The sun is here again

Until tomorrow begins

We'll stay right here

Oh, come and share this beautiful day

Before it's taken away

The whole world is smiling on this beautiful day

Christmas All Over Again lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

Well, it's Christmas time again

Decorations are all hung by the fire

Everybody's singin', all the bells are ringing out

And it's Christmas all over again, yeah, again

Long distance relatives

Haven't seen 'em in a long, long time

Yeah, I kind of missed 'em, I just don't wanna kiss 'em, no

It's Christmas all over again, yeah, again

And all over town, little kids gonna get down

And Christmas is a rockin' time, put your body next to mine

Underneath the mistletoe we go, we go

Everybody's singin', all the bells are ringin' out

It's Christmas all over again, again

And right down our block, little kids start to rock

And Christmas is a rockin' time, put your body next to mine

Underneath the mistletoe we go, we go

Merry Christmas time come and find you happy

And there by your fire

I hope you have a good one

I hope momma gets her shoppin' done

And it's a Christmas all over again

Baby, it's Christmas all over again

And it's Christmas all over again

And all I want is Tom Petty songbooks

A Heartbreakers T-shirt

And I wish you

Merry Christmas

Fairytale Of New York lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

It was Christmas Eve, babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me

"Won't see another one"

And then he sang a song

The Rare Old Mountain Dew

I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one

Came in eighteen to one

I've got a feeling

This year's for me and you

So, Happy Christmas

I love you, baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you, it's no place for the old

When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve

You promised me Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome

You were pretty, Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging

All the drunks, they were singing

We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir

Were singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas day

You're a bum, you're a braggart

You've lost all your swagger

And the word around town is you ain't much in the bed

You're a squirrel cause you're nuts

You're a kick in the gut

Happy Christmas, my arse

I'll be glad it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir

Still singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells were ringing out

For Christmas day

"I could have been someone"

Well, so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me, babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir

Still singing "Galway Bay"

And the bells are ringing out

For Christmas day

How Long Has This Been Going On? lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

(originally by Bobbe Arnst)

I could cry salty tears;

Where have I been all these years?

Little wow, tell me now

How long has this been going on?

There were chills up my spine,

And some thrills I can't define.

Listen sweet, I repeat:

How long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt;

Into heaven I'm hurled!

I know how Columbus felt,

Finding another world!

Kiss me once, then once more

Yeah what a dunce I was before

What a break! For heaven's sake!

How long has this been going on?...

How long has this been going on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt;

Into heaven I'm hurled!

I know how Columbus felt,

Finding another world!

Kiss me twice, then once more,

That makes priceless, make it four

Yeah what a break! For heaven's sake!

How long has this been going on? Lord

How long has this been going on?

Oh you tell me baby

Cuz I've gotta know

Don't ask me why

Just tell me [?] soul

Hear me now, I need nobody

How long has this been going on?

How long has this been going on?

If I Get Home On Christmas Day lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile

If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

Writing letters everyday

Never really seem to say

The way I feel deep in my heart

Though I'm half a world away

If we're patient and we pray

Know I'll get it chance with you this time

If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile

If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

Not Running Anymore lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

(from "Stand Up Guys" soundtrack)

Bless me father I have sinned,

I'm not sure where to begin.

I won't name names or where I've been,

But I've been there and back again.

No Hail Marys will save me,

You learned to live with memories,

Here,slip this sinner up your sleeve,

Just stay inside until I leave.

I've been running, always running

Never have both feet on the floor.

I've been running, always running,

Now I'm not running anymore....

The hands of time may tick no more

Let darkness fall upon this door

No waves will wash up on this shore

I won the fight but lost the war.

I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

And I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore.

There were roses I have loved

Who've given or have given up

I pushed your patience and my luck

It wasn't love I didn't trust

It wasn't you, or me, or us

You've shouldered ifs, and ands, and buts

It's that way ok, I've said too much

But I've been running, always running

Never had both feet on the floor

I've been running, always running

Now I ain't running anymore

Old Habits Die Hard lyrics - Jon Bon Jovi

(from "Stand Up Guys" soundtrack)

You look like shit, so do you my brother,

I missed you too, yeah you dumb stupid mother.

The cheap welcome home sign, and a bottle of red.

At least you got freedom and an old pullout bed.

Three cheers to the best of the rest we got left.

If you could dream anything, what would that be?

If you could be that, would you share it with me?

We carry our choices, we've had our regrets,

We know there's a price, and we both paid our debts.

Well Maybe they ain't seen the last of us yet.

Old habits die hard.

Old habits die hard.

It might be painful to smile,

But it covers the scars.

Old habits die hard.

There's a face in the mirror, but it don't look like me.

Yesterday's gone,and we're dropped in the sea.

But I've got your back for each day that's gone by,

And I still have you, 'till the day that I die.

Yeah..I still have you, 'till the day that I die.

Old habits die hard.

Old habits die hard.

It might be painful to smile,

But it covers the scars.

Old habits die hard.

Some day we will be missed, by those you leave behind.

I hope you've touch other lives, like you've touched mine.

Oh, when you don't want less, so you'll know my name,

They say when you don't, we all might rise up someday

You know we go, we all might rise up

Old habits die hard.

Old habits die hard.

It might be painful to smile,

But it covers the scars.

Appearances change, but don't change who we are.

Old habits die hard.

"Destination Anywhere" (1997)

Queen Of New Orleans Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

She said: "Baby our love's just like your songs
The beat ain't bad but the words are all wrong
It's time to pack my bags, it's time to just move on"
She sang: "Johnny, I'm gone, gone, gone"
And she was gone, yeah

Me and Leigh met summer of '95
In a burgundy dress lookin' finer than a French wine
A Cajun queen with another side
She was a schoolboy's dream, I was out of my mind
She was lookin' fine
She said: "You wanna drive me home"
But what I didn't know ......

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)

That night I made my move
Man I fell hard when I put my hands in her cookie jar
She was more than a girl, she was a cabaret star
I was a deer in the lights of a speeding car
Nothing's what it seems, she was a Venus De Milo in her sister's jeans

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) it was almost like a dream (almost like a dream)

[Guitar solo]

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) I was dancing cheek to cheek in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen down Bourbon Street

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing in the streets of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) nothing's what it seems in New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with a Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans
Ooh, ooh, (shalala) dancing with the Queen of New Orleans

Janie, Don't You Take Your Love To Town Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

Sitting here just watching you sleep
Wish I could slip inside and be in some technicolor dream
But the air's too thick for one of us to breathe
I'm not fool enough to think you couldn't live life without me

I didn't come this far to throw the towel in
I didn't fight this hard to walk away
If I ain't smart enough to say I'm sorry
It's just because the words got in the way

I remember how it used to be
I was you and you were me
We were more than just the same
Now these shoes don't fit, my skin's too tight
When you want a kiss, I take a bite
Let your heart call up the cops, read me my rights
Last night I drank enough to drown
Raise a toast to your good looks and to my health
Look, we both know how much I've let you down
Janie, don't you take your love to town

Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie, don't you take your love to town

You deserve a shooter, a saint
Someone to give it to you straight
To find the soul through flesh and bone
My life's a treasure, full of sunny weather
But it's left me feeling cold
Now all you wanna do is take me home
I hated you, the night you said you loved me
I hated you, 'cause I couldn't love myself
I'm begging you now, baby please just hold me
I got one foot in, one foot off the ground

Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love ...

[Guitar solo]

Sitting here while you're fast asleep
In the bathroom by the sink
Trying to write the right words down
I turn out the lights, close my eyes
There ain't no prayers or kiss goodnight
What I'll forget to say tomorrow, I'll say now
Janie, don't you take your love to town

Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie, don't you take your love to town

Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie, don't you take your love to town

Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love to town
If I gotta beg, I'll beg, just don't walk away
Janie, don't you take your love to town
Janie, don't you take your love

Midnight In Chelsea Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

The kids round here look just like sticks
They trade old licks with a beat up six
I just smile and catch the groove

Gothic girls all dressed in black
Serious as heart attacks
Takes a little bit of getting used to

The old man with the whisky stains
Lost the night, forgot his name
His poor wife will sleep alone again
And it ain't hard to understand
Why she's holding onto her own hand

It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy ... saving me (shalalala, shalala)

I've seen a lone sloane ranger drive
Seems her chauffeur took a dive
And sold her secrets to the Sun

And later in a magazine
I finally figured what it means
To be a saint, not a queen

Two lustful lovers catch a spark
Chase their shadows in the dark
Someone's getting off tonight

A big red bus that's packed so tight disappears in a trail of light
Somewhere someone's dreaming baby it's alright....

It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's pinned their dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
When Chelsea girls sing
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh
Shalalala, shalalala
Shalalala, shalala, oh, oh ...

It's morning when I go to sleep
In the distant dawn a church bell rings
Another day is coming on

A baby's born, an old man dies
Somewhere young lovers kiss good bye
I leave my soul and just move on
And wish that I was there to sing this song

[Guitar solo]

(shalalala, shalala)
(shalalala, shalala)
It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
Oh, midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala)
No one's asking me for favors (shalalala, shalala)
No one's looking for a savior
They're too busy saving me (shalalala, shalala)

It's midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala) woh (shalalala, shalala) yeah
No one's pinned their dreams on me
No one's asking me to bleed
I'm the man I wanna be
The man I wanna be, the man I wanna be (shalalala, shalala)
Midnight in Chelsea (shalalala, shalala...)

Ugly Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

If you're ugly, I'm ugly too
In your eyes the sky's a different blue
If you could see yourself like others do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, yeah

And I wish I was a camera sometimes
So I could take your picture with my mind
Put it in a frame for you to see
How beautiful you really are to me

Ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no rainbow in the sky, when you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no rainbow in the sky, when you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly, ugly
All of us just feel like that some days
Ain't no cure that you can buy
When you feel U.G.L.Y.
And that's ugly

So if you're ugly, I'm ugly too
If you're a nut, then I must be a screw
If you could see yourself the way I do
You'd wish you were as beautiful as you, yeah
I wish I was as beautiful as you

Staring At Your Window Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

You think you know me just because you know my name
You think you see me 'cause you've seen every line on my face
You want to want me just because I say that I want you
But does it matter if anything I'm saying is the truth

You need somebody, somebody to hold onto
But this ain't the movies, and we ain't heroes

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but a heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

I said that I want you, but when we woke up one of us was crying
You rolled over and all you said was, "Man, I think I'm dying"
Our song is over, this band of gold has been feeling like a noose
You place your bets 'cause no one thinks they'll lose

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
My boots just keep on walkin', but my heart don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window

The light of love can blind you 'til you cover up your eyes
And you try to find the reason not to say good bye
It's the curse of every sailor standing on dry land
Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

[Guitar solo]

The night is fading like my old tattoo
A heart and a dagger that says "Forever"

Staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand
The streetlights buzz as the cars roll by and the moon don't give a damn
I'm getting tired of talkin', even I don't understand
Why I'm staring at your window with a suitcase in my hand

Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

I've been staring at the page for what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes ?
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried ?
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you (hey now)
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)

You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you (hey now)
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I can never escape you
So let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark (hey now)
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud ?

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)

Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
Maybe I've lost my guts
There, is that truth enough ?
Hey now, hey now...

[Guitar solo]

You know these love letters mix with whisky
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon (hey now)
Hey now, hey now, hey now, am I talking just a little too loud ?

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud ?
Hey now, the night's just bringing me down

It's Just Me Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

You know your favorite old pair of shoes
The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose
Your favorite record that's all scratched and used
But still you love to play when your feeling blue

That faded rose that's all dried out
Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without
Your high school picture when you had wild hair
That stormy day on the beach that got us here

And oh, you better believe
There's just one thing you need, oh, can't you see ...

It's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's just one thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby (it's just me)

Just like a shadow 10 feet tall
Standing right behind you should you fall
I'll be the one to hold you up to walk
When this wicked world makes us want to crawl

And if your waves should ever break at sea
I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach
I'm the same old dog, scratching those same fleas
I'll be by your side, you can count on me

It's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's just one thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see ?
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me ? oh...

[Guitar solo]

Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks every time you go away

But it's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's one more thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see ?
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me ?

And if someday some new memory comes along
Looking shiny, new, feeling really strong
You can tell him that I'll tell him he can just move on
I'm a fighter, I've been fighting for you all night long
It's just me baby, it's just me, it's just me baby, it's just me baby

Destination Anywhere Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

Hey babe, it's me parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old in this sleepy, dead-end town

Destination anywhere - Name the place, I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run

Baby, we both been running uphill for too long
We both settled for something, got nothing
And we both know that it's wrong
Go on admit it if we lived it
I'm leaving, get your boots and come on
I've got my coat and my keys
I need you next to me then I'm gone, come on

Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Baby we'll just disappear like the sun, ooh...

[Guitar solo]

When these wheels spin, baby they can all eat our dust
As far as I'm concerned, this whole town lost its nuts
We won't be here when they put us down
It's our big chance, I'm calling you now
They'll never let us go unless we try
I'm tired of living just to die
We're getting out of here, destination anywhere

Destination anywhere - Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Destination anywhere - Left or right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear chase the sun
Come on, come on, come on

Learning How To Fall Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette, oh

Yeah, we've been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
I'll take my past and paint it black

Now this circus has left town
This clown has gotta get his feet back on the ground

I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall )
I had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
Now I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it

I was standing in the light
There were faces all around
I put my gloves up for the fight
One sucker punch and I was down

I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it

I was flying through the clouds
Pucker up, it's time to kiss the ground

I'm learning how to fall (learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit (learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall... (learning how to fall)
Now I got the hang of it (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall)
Yeah I got the hang of it, (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall)
Learning how to fall, (learning how to fall), (learning how to fall), learning how to fall

Naked Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

My friend had a girlfriend
She liked her drink
Sucked the head off her lager
Threw me a wink
And she sang to me, "Buddy, what's your sign?"

I was off, I was runnin'
Knocked me clean off my feet
Her tongue kept on selling
What any blind man could see
And I just kept on stumbling through the stop signs

She said, "What's you hiding underneath that shirt?"
Right behind the buttons there's a heart that hurts
Adam's evening left the curse
Take it off make it work

Naked, naked - just get back to basics, yeah
Naked, face it - you can't fake it when you're (naked)
Naked (naked) face it
All I'm saying

The tail you been chasing
Put the K back in kink
Threw a coin in her jukebox
I started to think
But she just smiled and offered me a peace sign

How far you gonna run in those designer shoes ?
The soul with holes ain't gonna be the one you lose
I don't know which one is worse: Adam, me or you

Naked, naked - just get back to basics, yeah
Naked, face it - you can't fake it when you're (naked)
Naked (naked) face it
All I'm saying

[Guitar solo]

Take it, embrace it
Baby, here we are
Can't you almost ... taste it

Naked, naked - just get back to basics (yeah)
Naked, face it - you can't fake it when you're (naked)
Naked (naked, naked) naked (naked, naked) naked (naked, naked) naked (naked)
[Jon talking to fade]

Little City Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

I got my call light on, gimme one more fare tonight
Just get me over the bridge, I can see those shiny bay lights
You know I'm never alone but I'm feeling lonely tonight
Damn, I got my last cigarette but I ain't got no light

God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city

In my rear view mirror, I see someone else's hairline
I hear that fire in your eyes is on the rock and doing hard time
And the grapes of wrath, they're on the vine
There's wine in this dirt
Here love ain't love, tt's just another four letter word

God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city

shalalalalala, shalalalalala, shalalalalala, oh
shalalalalala, shalalalalala, shalalalalala, oh

God let these wheels roll to where the girls are pretty
Where the nights explode and life is still living
Down this open road, the arms of pity
Wait to greet me tonight in little city

Now that cold gray fog's just a rolling down the highway
He's come to carry me home
It puts a little smile on my face

Yeah, roll with me baby
I can see those daylights calling me home
Yeah, I'm never alone
Just turn the radio on
There's an old song I used to know

August 7, 4:15 Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

Ah...
It was another day
Perfect Texas afternoon
Mother and two children play
The way they always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
A mother and her son
Against a little girl of six years old
The independent one

Ah...
The deputies went door to door through all the neighborhood
They said I got some news to tell you folks
I'm afraid it ain't so good
Somehow something happened
Someone got away
Someone got the answers for what happened here today
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no

Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15

Now the people from the papers
And the local TV news tried to find the reason
Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted "Hit and run"
The coroner cried "Foul"
Her blue dress was what she wore
The day they laid her body down
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no

Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15
No...

[Guitar solo]

I know tonight that there's an angel up on Heaven's highest hill
And no one there can hurt you baby, no one ever will
Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed
The flames are all around you
How you gonna sleep again ?
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no

Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15

Tell me it was just a dream - August 7, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean - August 7, 4:15

Billy Get Your Guns Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

[William Bonney:] "Yoo-hoo, I'll make you famous!"

I just seen trouble, he's calling out your name tonight
Billy get your guns
You could walk away but I know you were born to fight
So Billy get your guns
The bandileros are strung out in the promenade
Billy get your guns
And the wind whispers softly that the devil's to blame
Billy get your guns

Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
Billy get your guns

There's a whiskey bottle empty sittin' on the bar
Billy get your guns
And some organ grinder singing about some sucker moving on
Billy get your guns
All the whores are hanging out waiting to get paid
Billy get your guns
From some Johnny on the spot who said hey keep the change baby
Billy get your guns

Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
No, Billy get your guns

They christened you with whiskey
And there's fire running through your veins
Well you're an outlaw just the same
And every night a bullet wears your name

[Guitar solo]

Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
No, Billy get your guns

I've seen a hangman dancing beneath the pale moonlight
Billy get your guns
And every stranger that you meet thinks it's his lucky night
Billy get your guns
I don't envy you Billy but I want to say
You better get your guns
'Cause every outlaw that's died will live to ride again
Billy get your guns

Billy get your guns
There's trouble blowing like a hurricane
Billy get your guns
That's the price on your head for the price of fame
And it'll never change
Billy get your guns, Billy get your guns
Billy get your guns, Billy get your guns

Miracle Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

A penny for your thoughts now baby
Looks like the weight of the world's on your shoulders now
I know you think you're going crazy
Just when it seems everything's gonna work itself out
They drive you right back down

And you said it ain't fair
That a man walks
When a bird can fly
We have to kick the ground
The stars kiss the sky
They say that spirits live
A man has to die
They promised us truth
Now they're giving us lies

Gonna take a miracle top save us this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause it's all on the line
And I won't let you down
(No I won't let you down, ooh...)
The river of your hope is flooding
And I know the dam is busted
If you need me I'll come running
I won't let you down... no, no

You're looking for salvation
You thought that it'd be shining like an angel's light, yeah
Well, the angels left this nation
And salvation caught the last train out tonight
He lost a hell of a fight

He said: "I'm just one man, that's all I'll ever be
I never can be everything you wanted from me
I've got big plans so big that any blind man could see
I'm standing in the river
Now I'm drowning in the sea

Gonna take a miracle top save us this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause your heart's on the line
And your heartbeat is slowing down (heartbeat's blowing, ooh...)
Your feet are grounded still you're reaching for the sky
You can let 'em clip your wings 'cause I believe that you can fly

[Solo (fly baby)]

Well my eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the flood
I've driven deep the thorny crown into the soul of someone's son
Still I'll look you in the eye 'cause I've believed in things I've thought
And I'll die without regret for the wars I have fought

Gonna take a miracle top save you this time (ooh...)
And your savior has just left town
Gonna need a miracle 'cause your heart's doing time
And your conscience is calling you out (conscience's calling, ooh...)
It ain't all for nothing
Life ain't written in the sand
I know the tide is coming
But it's time we made a stand with a miracle

Gonna take a miracle, I need a miracle
I need a miracle, I need a miracle
Na, miracle (miracle) oh...

Blaze Of Glory Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

[Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock:] "You are not a God."
[William Bonney:] "Why don't you pull the trigger and find out"

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind, yeah

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well, they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt through your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can

I'm going down (down) in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out (out) in a blaze of glory
And Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood
I'm no one's son, call me young gun

You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well I've seen love come, I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain

Shot down (down) in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down (down) in a blaze of glory
Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son, call me young gun, na... yeah

[Guitar solo]

Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I gotta ask a favor
And I hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy's die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final stand

Shot down (down) in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out (out) in a blaze of glory
Lord, I never drew first but I drew first blood
I'm no one's son, call me young gun
I'm a young gun, yeah
Young gun, yeah..., Young gun

Blood Money Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my blood

But you say, this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away

Wonder what would of have happened if you were the killer and I was the hero
Would things be the same ?
Or would I have traded your life for my own life ?
Would I have paid your debts in your place ?
I don't know

But this ain't about me and this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've gotta cause you can't walk away

Blood money, that's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave

Santa Fe Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

They say that no man is an island
And good things come to those who wait
But the things I hear are there just to remind me
Every dog will have his day

The spirits, they intoxicate me
I watched them infiltrate my soul
They try to say it's too late for me
Tell my guns I'm coming home

I swear I'm gonna live forever
Tell my maker he can wait
I'm riding somewhere south of heaven
Heading back to Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Once I was promised absolution
There's only one solution for my sins
You gotta face your ghosts and know with no illusions
That only one of you is going home again

And I blame this world for making a good man evil
It's this world that can drive a good man mad
And it's this world that turns a killer into a hero
Well I blame this world for making a good man bad

Now I ain't getting into heaven if the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe
Lord have mercy

[Guitar solo]

So I save a prayer when I need it most
To the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
And sign it from a sinner with no name
When I meet my maker
Will he close the book on the hearts I broke and the lives I took ?
Will he walk away 'cause my soul's too late to save ?

Now I ain't getting into heaven
If the devil has his way
I swear I'm gonna live forever
Heading back to Santa Fe
Got debts to pay in Santa Fe
It's judgment day in Santa Fe

Justice In Barrel Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

[Vocals: Lou Diamond Phillips and Julia Waters]

There's no country, there's no freedom
There's no you, there's no me
There's no justice, there's no justice, there's no justice

Hey mister can you help me
I'm a loner on the run
I'm just looking for tomorrow
And I ain't gonna hurt no one

I jumped headfirst into a bottle
I was looking for a friend
Came up just short of nothing
I didn't find the truth, I only found an end

So tell me who's gonna save me
Or my father or my son
When the only justice a man can see
Is the barrel of a loaded gun, oh yeah

I been broke and I've been hungry
I think they're both my middle name, ooh
But I don't never ever never seem to get enough
Still guess I guess complain

'Cause what you get in life you take it
You've gotta hold on, make it last, ooh
They say good things come to those who wait
But it's life that goes so fast

And when there's just one rule you live by
Each day you kiss the rising sun
When you live and die by the life we breathe
In the barrel of a loaded...

Gun talk to me in my sleep at night
And a gun somewhere is burning with my name

[Guitar solo]

Winners are losers
And losers will have to face all those yesterdays
And all of the dreams they blew away

So Mister can you help me or are you my gun
Have the ghosts of justice brought you here to me to taste, ooh
The barrel of a loaded gun

There's justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Justice in the barrel of a loaded gun
Justice in the barrel of a loaded gun

Never Say Die Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night

And you were lonesome as a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane

And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
But we don't ever

Never say die, never say die

I guess you'd say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (that's right)
Still they remained unspoken
And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell

Once I was afraid of love
But when it's your brother those things change
'Cause love is just another word for trust
So hear me when I say

Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die

[Guitar solo]

Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning)
Through the pouring rain (through the rain)
And we'll be standing like a soldier
Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right)

They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want written)
On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie)
Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that died there)
So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry)

My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
And it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world good bye

Never say die, never say no
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
And your own tears you'll cry
When you're brought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die, never say die... (that's right)

You Really Got Me Now Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

1, 2, 3, 4
Well you're dancing with the shadow
You been talking in your sleep
Well you can walk on water
But don't want to wet your feet

You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah

You say you talk to everyone
Who is anyone in town
But they don't recognize you
With your feet out of your mouth

You really got me, you really got me now, yeah
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me

Who am I to judge a man who says that's he's his own biggest fan
It's true / Richard...

[Piano solo]

You brought a knife out to a gunfight
And you're shouting that I'm dead
My old friends Smith and Wesson
Think you're in over your head

You really got me, you really got me now
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really drive me through it
You got me now

You really got me, you really got me now
You burn your bridges baby
You know I don't know how you do it
But you really put me through it
You got me, yeah

Bang A Drum Lyrics – Jon Bon Jovi

I went to see the preacher to teach me how to pray
He looked at me and smiled
Then that preacher turned away
He said if you want to tell him something
You ain't gotta fold your hands
Say it with your heart, your soul and believe it
And I'd say amen

Bang a drum for the sinners
Bang a drum for the sins
Bang a drum for the losers
And those who win
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for yourself son
And a drum for me
Ooh, let me hear you say yeah (yeah), hallelujah, amen

I called upon my brother just the other day
He said: John I'm gonna die if I don't start to live again
I work each day and night like clockwork
Just trying to make ends meet
I could kick this bad world's ass
If I could just get on my feet

I'd bang a drum for the dying
Bang a drum for the truth
Bang a drum for the innocence lost in our youth
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
Bang a drum for you brother
And a drum for me

I don't know where all the rivers run
I don't know how far, I don't know how come
Well I'm gonna die believin' each step that I take
Ain't worth the ground that I walk on
If we don't walk it our way

[Guitar solo] (ooh...)

No I don't claim to be a wiseman, a poet or a saint
I'm just another man who's searching for a better way
But my heart beats loud as thunder
For the things that I believe
Sometimes I wanna run for cover
Sometimes I want to scream

Bang a drum for tomorrow
Bang a drum for the past
Bang a drum for the heroes that won't come back
Bang a drum for the promise
Bang a drum for the lies
Bang a drum for the lovers and the tears they've cried
Bang a drum, bang it loudly
Or as soft as you need
But as long as my heart keeps on bangin'
I got a reason to believe (I got a reason to believe)

(Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, hallelujah, amen)
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen
Come on now (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen
All right girls (yeah) brother (yeah) yeah (yeah) oh yeah
Let me hear you say yeah (yeah) hallelujah, amen

Dyin' Ain't Much Of A Livin lyrics - jon bon jovi

[Josiah Gordon "Doc" Scurlock:]
"You rode a 15 year old boy straight to his grave and the rest of us straight to hell."

A whiskey bottle comforts me
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes

But the night's there to remind me
Of the guns and the early graves
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
To sing an outlaw's serenade

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done ?
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young

Oh... the desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight

All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a thin disguise
And an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die

Oh, dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done ?
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
na...

And I hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... pray for me

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done ?
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
na...
