Fast Car
Length: 4:56
Release: 2015
Opening Lyrics:
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

Opening Lyrics:
Is all that you can’t say
Years gone by and still
Words don’t come easily
Like sorry, like sorry
Is all that you can’t say
Years gone by and still
Words don’t come easily
Like forgive me, forgive me
Baby, can I hold you tonight?
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh, at the right time you’d be mine

And I’ll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around
Said I don’t want to leave you lonely
You got to make me change my mind
Oh and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you
I called you many times
You can call me anytime, you got to call me
Give me one reason to stay here
And I’ll turn right back around
Talkin’ About A Revolution
Length: 2:41
Release: 2015
Opening Lyrics:
They’re talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don’t you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what’s theirs
Stand by Me
Length: 2:49
Release: 2015
Opening Lyrics:
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh Stand
Stand by me
Should tumble and fall
Oh and the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
