sold down the river, singin' a song -
sold down the river, we stayed too long
down by the river, grass doesn't grow
sold down the river, and feelin' low

sold down the river
sold down the river

down by the river, we made our plans -
down by the river, we took our chance
down by the river, grass doesn't grow
sold down the river, and feelin' low

sold down the river
sold down the river

STOP STARTING OVER

hear that lonesome whistle blow,
takes me back in my heart once more
what i believe, all eyes can see -
when i look back, you've locked the door

that's when i start calling for you,
that's when you start lovin' me too
when i can stop startin' over with you -
that's when our affair will be true

that's when i start calling for you,
that's when you start lovin' me too
when i can stop startin' over with you -
that's when our affair will be true

MY HEART IS A RADIO

caught your eye, i won't apologize
what can i say, it happens that way, i can't deny
second glance means that i've got a chance
so i will begin to try it again, with nothing to hide

i fall every five or so
my heart is a radio
and i tune you in, and i tune you out -
you don't even try to understand what i'm about
i tune you in, and i tune you out

caught your eye, i won't apologize
you can't find the time, i can't keep you down, cut into your lies
second glance means that i've lost the chance
so i will begin to try it again, with nothing to hide

i fall every five or so
my heart is a radio
and i tune you in, and i tune you out -
you don't even try to understand what i'm about
i tune you in, and i tune you out

you don't even try to understand what i'm about
i tune you in, and i tune you out

WALKIN' DOWN THE AISLE

my life is just a mystery
i know, cause otherwise i'd be
walkin' down the aisle with you
walkin' down the aisle with you
walkin' down the aisle, walkin' down the aisle
walkin' down the aisle with you

i've found a way to cope, it seems
i'm always happy in my dreams
walkin' down the aisle with you
walkin' down the aisle with you
walkin' down the aisle, walkin' down the aisle
walkin' down the aisle with you

GET IN YOUR WAY

i have alot of laughs when you're around
but you always find a way to bring me down -
what would it take to get in your way,
and just ease the pain of all that weight -
would it take?

you worry bout the things you can't control
blame it on the world, not your soul
what would it take to get in your way,
and just ease the pain of all that weight -
would it take?

tried so hard to tell you - it's like talking to a wall
as you worry 'bout the things that just aren't there,
and take it out on those who really care
what would it take to get in your way,
and just ease the pain of all that weight -
would it take?
