Comfort me From a world where no one cares, Where the words turn into cages And memories cut like glass. I closed my eyes on you, Put the blame on myself, baby, The weight is on my shoulders, I throw my heart in the wishing well. I've got to face and tame my demons I know it's hard to start over again, Yeah, I know Through trials and tribulations Salvation's like a long lost friend I'll take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change If that's what it takes, yeah No use in pretending Ain't no pride in it at all A cure for independence Is when you're standing in the cold. Have I used, Have I used my chances, Have my bridges all been burned, Give me a sign of inspiration To find a stone that's left unturned. I see a distant promise of Eden, Lifting my spirits so high, If I can break out of the circle Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye! I'll take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change If that's what it takes, If that's what it takes. (Solo: Guitar) I've got to see the promise of Eden Lifting my spirits so high! If I can break out of the circle Gonna kiss that carousel No kiss that goodbye! I'll take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change, baby, Oh, oh, oh! If that's what it takes Take back all of the hurt For your love I've taken for granted I'll do anything to change If that's what it takes, yeah, If that's what it takes...

Well lately I've been struggling to get things off the ground I've got a full time job I'm trying to fit my dreams around It isn't easy And it's only getting harder I've been looking at my optics and I think the data shows I need a TikTok account to optimise my SEOs I could do that I just need to learn some dance moves I've never worn a baseball cap backwards But I'll try anything these days I'll sing about dirt roads and dance with my shirt off If that's what it takes that's what it takes If that's what it takes that's what it takes I keep coming back from Nashville with my tail between my legs I've maxxed out all my credit cards but I've got no regrets It'll all be worth it If I get to play the Grand Ole Opry On Monday nights I'll be in the King's Head On that little corner stage I'll sing Oasis and Friends In Low Places If that's what it takes that's what it takes If that's what it takes that's what it takes I'll be on my way Back out to Nashville Just as soon as I get paid All it takes is three chords and I'll buy up some billboards If that's what it takes that's what it takes If that's what it takes that's what it takes That's what it takes That's what it takes That's what it takes

Jimmy Buffett, Mac MacAnally, C. Macak, T. Baker, L. Laprise The universe is runnin' away I heard it on the news just the other day There's this new stuff called dark energy We can't measure and we can't see It's some elemental mystery Train that we can't catch But our heads are in the oven And somebody's 'bout to strike a match Meanwhile back on our big round ball Things are getting serious as cholesterol Permutations, calculations, Greedy piggies at the trough Arrogance and ignorance Just to top it off I just can't keep up with the Nasdaq Who got sold and bought I've got to take my lunch break But I'll leave you with a little for thought Maybe it's all too simple For our brains to figure it out What if the hokey pokey Is all it really is about What if life is just a cosmic joke Like spiders in your underwear or olives in Your coke My life can get as messy as a day old sticky bun So I arm myself with punch lines and a big ol' Water gun They say it's not that simple but just maybe it Should be It's time to change the subject, would you join me In a cup of herbal tea? Maybe it's all too simple For our brains to figure it out What if the hokey pokey Is all it really is about I still believe in rock 'n' roll It pays my bills and soothes my soul There really really isn't A whole lot more around Except for Frank Sinatra and the Big Band sound I want music in the music I want chicken in the soup I want caffeine in my system let's revive The hula hoop Maybe it's all too simple For our brains to figure it out What if the hokey pokey Is all it really is about
