1, 2, 3 GO!

{1st Verse:}
Asleep at the wheel forty miles left to go,
Rolling in on fumes to rock the show,
We don’t need fortune and we don’t need fame,
We don’t need bright lights to spell our name,
All we ever wanted was to play,

{Chorus:}
Play it loud, play it loud,
Raise your voice and shout it out,

{2nd Verse:}
We weren’t the first but were holding our own,
Ten long years ago the seeds were sown,
A song in your heart picks you up when you’re down,
We like the songs we play we love this sound,
We’re just like you straight from the crowd,

{Chorus:}
Play it loud, play it loud,
Raise your voice, shout it out,
Play it loud, play it loud,
Raise your voice, shout it out,

{Bridge:}
Hold fast to your friends,
Be true to yourself,
And stop trying to be just like somebody else…
Be yourself,

{Chorus:}
Play it loud,
Raise your voice, shout it out,
Play it loud, play it loud,
Raise your voice, shout it out,

Play It Loud.

am i the one that's going crazy?
i'm so tired of masquerading
i pretend to be so well adjusted
maybe it's just me and i'm disgusted

i need a room at a mental penitentiary
so lock me up with maximum security
the doctors say that they don't know whats wrong with me
so strap me down it's time for my lobotomy

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The doctors say that I'll be getting out real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

One little minute seems to last a lifetime
Like staring at the ceiling even though you're blind
We all pretend to be so complicated
you and me just may be dislocated (dislocated)

i need a room at a mental penitentiary
so lock me up with maximum security
the doctors say that they don't know what's wrong with me
so strap me down its time for my lobotomy

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

The doctors say that I'll be getting out real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

The doctors say
The doctors say that i'm okay
The doctors changed their minds
and now i'm here to stay

Sorry baby,
i'm not crazy
Pardon a me baby,
Yo no soy loco.

The doctors say that I'll be getting out real soon
The doctors say that I've been making big breakthroughs

the doctors say that im not crazy after all
the doctors say take two of these and give me a call

get up!

There is no map, there are no signs,
We're on our way, we're crossing lines
Strap on your boots, go pack your bags,
No time to rest, no time to lag,

And you know, everyone here has been invited to go
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
And you know, we're on our way,
Into the unknown, into the unknown, into the unknown
whoa oh whoa oh oh

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight

This life is good, the road is clear,
It's time to shift into high gear
Everything we're passing fades,
It's what's inside our hearts that stays

And you know, everyone here has been invited to go
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
And you know, we're on our way,
Into the unknown, into the unknown, into the unknown
whoa oh whoa oh oh

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight

Travel by the moonlight
Travel by the moonlight

Driving into the unknown.

I’m brokenhearted, brokenhearted for you
So don’t get me started on repairs
I know what you’re gonna do
You’ll break it again
I know I can’t win
You’ll just break my heart again

You chose the words you knew would make me cry
You've probably done it to a hundred guys
I’m not crying, I got something in my eyes
You said you never really felt a thing
You said you didn’t like the way I sing
I’m not crying, but my eyes they really sting

I’m brokenhearted, brokenhearted for you
So don’t get me started on repairs
I know what you’re gonna do
You’ll break it again
I know I can’t win
You’ll just break my heart again

You slapped my face before you said good bye,
Called me a loser hoping I would die
I’m not crying, I got something in my eye
You said you never really felt a thing
You said you didn’t like the way I sing
I’m not crying, but my eyes they really sting

I’m brokenhearted, brokenhearted for you
So don’t get me started on repairs
I know what you’re gonna do
You’ll break it again
I know I can’t win
You’ll just break my heart again

All I ever needed was to eat popcorn with you
Come on over, watch the late show, stay up talking until two

Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone

I dream of our reunion, makes me crazy just to think
How so very far away you are, my hope begins to sink

Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone

And it's not okay; I made dinner here for two
And it's not okay; I've got candles lit for you
And it's not okay; I've got your favorite records out
And it's not okay; you should already be in route
Toooo meeeee

Today's the day you're leaving and tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind, I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone
Everything sucks when you're gone

I want you, I need you...
Everything sucks when you're gone

I remember times back in Hollywood,
Best friends making music-we were feeling good,
The top was always down and the sun was always shining bright

I remember singing to the radio,
On a sunset strip-we were driving slow
The top was always down and the stars were always shining bright

The sun was going up when we were laying down,
We felt like kings and we loved that town,
The sun was coming up when we were laying low,
We felt like kigs, we were living a dream

Everyone was there so we got into the car,
Heading out to Vegas, didn't get very far,
The top was always down and a tire blew a flat that night

We changed the tire then we turned right around,
Picked up a hitcher all the way into town,
the top was always down with the gas pedal on the ground

The sun was going up when we were laying down,
We felt like kings and we loved that town,
The sun was coming up when we were laying low,
We felt like kigs, we were living a dream

We'll be on the town tonight,
And you'll get left if you ain't right
We'll be on the town tonight,
And you'll get left if you ain't right
We'll be on the town tonight

We watched the freaks fade away in the day,
We watched celebrities come out to play,
The top was always down and we knew our way around

The sun was going up when we were laying down,
We felt like kings and we loved that town,
The sun was coming up when we were laying low,
We felt like kigs, we were living our dreams

The city in our eyes, the music in our souls
We loved singing loud to the stereo,
Left coast punk rawk, that's our scene,
Rock n'Roll....We're living a dream

do do do do dododo
(I said) We're Livin' a dream [x7]

When there's nowhere else to hide,
When there's no one left to stand beside,
When everthing seems wrong,
I've been with you all along

When what's left is all you really know,
And nowhere's where you want to go
When they treat you like you don't belong,
I've been with you all along

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find

Well time is always running out,
And we are in a storm of doubt
When the narrow path is long,
I've been with you all along

When your heart has been tied down,
And thrown into the sea to drown
When the love you knew is gone,
I've been with you all along

Every step of the way,
Every passing day
Go!

I'm the heart, the soul, the mind
The capitol of every kind
Those that seek will surely find,
Those that don't are surely blind,
Those that seek will surely find

On the outs,
When she don't like you anymore
On the outs,
Your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs,
Your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs,
When things just don't seem like before

So you want to get her back now,
But you don't really know how
You've tried everything, and nothing's working

What would be your first clue,
That she don't really like you?
Was it the way she never had much to say?

On the outs,
When she don't like you anymore
On the outs,
Your picture's shattered on the floor
On the outs,
Your clothes are scattered out the door
On the outs,
When things just don't seem like before

Do you need a sample?
Or maybe an example,
Of true love and forgiveness to get over this?

So take a little time out,
And learn that you can live without
A dead end girlfriend that you've put all your faith in.

Manipulation's cut your throat and
Now there's blood stains on your coat.
