Well I am the boy who cried wolf And I know I've lied in the past But last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark Yeah, I know I spun tales with his voice And I open my mouth too fast But last night I saw his footprints in the path Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf Well I am the shepherds only son And I know what a joke I've become I have an honest heart, but I have lies on my tongue I don't know how this started or where it came from And you have no reason and I have no proof But this time I swear, I'm telling the truth I saw that old wolf, from tail to tooth And I know that he's hungry and he's coming down too Well I could swim every sea from south pole to north And I could climb every tree, and scale every coarse Well I could tell only the truth from this day forth But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf Oh, oh, I-I am the boy who cried wolf Oh, oh, oh, oh, I am the boy who cried

As the rain comes down, upon this sad sweet earth I lie awake at nights and think about me All those usual things like what a fool I've been I curse the awful way that I let you slip away For what was forged in love, is now cooling down With only myself to blame for playing that stupid game I thought I need only call and you would run But that day you never showed honey well I sure learnt That it seems I need you more each day Heaven knows why that it goes that way Now it's far too late and I've lost this time Like the boy who cried wolf Like the boy who cried wolf An' yes I know it's far too late To ever win you back No tales of nightmare's at my gate Could make you turn my lost concern And now the night falls down, upon my selfish soul I sit alone and wonder where did I go wrong It always worked before you kept the wolf from my door But one day you never showed and honey now I'm not so sure When it seems I need you more each day Heaven knows why that it goes that way And now it's far too late and I've lost this time Like the boy who cried wolf Like the boy who cried wolf Like the boy who cried wolf [Incomprehensible] And asked me whose tears fell down [Incomprehensible] Now like a fool I'm frozen in time

Oh-oh Someday you'll find me On top of the world Someday you'll find me On top of the world I dream how you sleep, and you beg counting sheep every night You're treating me like I'm a lie or your moose in the night I'm not the girl who cried Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh I'm not the girl who cried wolf I'm not the girl who cried wolf Someday you'll notice You're stuck where you are Someday you'll look up While I dance on the stars I dream how you sleep, and you beg counting sheep every night You're treating me like I'm a lie or your moose in the night I'm not the girl who cried Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh I'm not the girl who cried wolf I'm not the girl who cried wolf, oh I'm not the girl who cried wolf Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh I'm not the girl who cried wolf, oh Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone So desperate, I answered an ad in the personals Hoping to find me a date A good lookin' non smokin' full figured Leo Was looking to find her a mate We hit it off, we got it on My love was growing so strong Then I started seeing a side of that woman I should have seen all along She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone I can't believe I just didn't see The writing there on the wall Listening to those Barry Mannilow records Was just one of her character flaws Sometimes she was rude, unnaturally crude But this good old boy let it pass But when she cussed in front of my mom I told she could kiss my She never cried when old Yeller died She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb She never stood up for the star spangled banner And she wasn't a John Wayne fan Her baby blue eyes had the warning signs That woman was bad to the bone She never cried when old Yeller died So do you think I'll cry when she's gone She never cried when old Yeller died And I ain't gonna cry when she's gone

I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good And death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood And the man on my TV told me that it had always been that way And there was nothin' anyone could do or say And I almost listened to him Yeah, I almost lost my mind Then I regained my senses again And looked into my heart to find That I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem Well maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school But somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again But I still find some comfort now and then Then the storm comes rumblin' in And I can't lay me down And the drums are drummin' again And I can't stand the sound But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem And there'll be no barricades then There'll be no wire or walls And we can wash all this blood from our hands And all this hatred from our souls And I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man And I come from County Clare And the Brits would hang me for a Fenian So I took me leave of there And I crossed the ocean in the Arrianne The vilest tub afloat And the captain's brother was a railroad man And he met us the boat So I joined up with the 20th Maine Like I said my friend I'm a fighting man And we're marchin' south in the pouring rain And we're all goin' down to Dixieland I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And we fight for Chamberlain 'Cause he stood right with us when the Johnnies came Like a banshee on the wind When the smoke cleared out of Gettysburg Many a mother wept For many a good boy died there, sure And the air smelted just like death I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And I'd march to hell and back again For Colonel Joshua Chamberlain We're all goin' down to Dixieland I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And I damn all gentlemen Whose only worth is their father's name And the sweat of a workin' man Well we come from the farms and the city streets And a hundred foreign lands And we spilled our blood in the battle's heat Now we're all Americans I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine And did I tell you friend I'm a fightin' man And I'll not be back this way again 'Cause we're all goin' down to Dixieland

Keep your eyes on them rolling wheels 15 solid forward gears They glide like butterflies down the highway They'll move you down the line They'll bring you home in time They'll sing you songs of love returning Oh, our brother's gone away Now he can't play like he used to But his words still ring true They curl like dust clouds on the roadside He's been broken by a heart But still does not live apart From all the sorrow he has shown me Oh, our brother's gone away Don't you wish that he could stay? To walk you to the county line To see you shining in your time Don't you wish there was a way? Like a kid who's been out throwing stones Into a river close to home I've taught myself to trust the melody So I sing when I've got the time First to lose and then to find If I don't make it, don't you worry Oh, our brother's gone away Don't you wish that he could stay? To walk you to the county line To see you shining in your time Don't you wish there was a way? Oh, our brother's gone away Don't you wish that he could stay? To see you finally settled down To see your children gathered round Don't you wish there was a way?
