"Be Myself" (2017)

Halfway There lyrics - Sheryl Crow

You pull up in your Hummer and you park next to my Volt
Wearing Armani 3 piece, I wear Levi's full of holes
I might walk along the left side, and you walk along the right
We're both trying to reach the same place; we might not get there on time

But you know what's best
And I know what's best
Let's just agree to disagree
And we all know the rest, yeah

Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Yeah

Each and every Sunday morning, you sit in your church pew
I'm sitting on a mountain taking in this glorious view
Well, I know your God is listening, and I know mine must be too
And if God is love and love is God, then why do we argue?

I don't know why
But I wanna try
Well, we can listen to each other
Before we criticize, yeah

Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Whoo!

Could you meet me down the river, hash it out over a beer?
Could you smoke from the same peace pipe til our anger disappears?
You want respect (respect)
You just want love (love)
I want that too, for you, and for me, and everyone

But you know what's best
And I know what's best
Let's just agree to disagree
And give this thing a rest

Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Baby, if you dare
If you really care
Baby, if you dare
Won't you meet me halfway there?
Uh-huh-huh

Meet in the middle
Where the grass is green

Long Way Back lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I got an up close glimpse of the outside world
It's an awful big place, well that's for damn sure
Seen more of this life than most have seen
And it's taken a mighty be toll on me
Ah it'd sure feel good to be free

Some days I feel alright
Some days I can't wait until it's night
Sometimes you gotta face that light
Get back in the ring, put on your gloves and fight
I think it's gonna take some time
To find a way to ease my mind
It's gonna take the long way back home
So I'm gonna take the long way back home
Back home

Did you ever see a man have a heart attack
It'll open your eyes and stop you in your tracks
So I threw away my last cigarette
Get it right this time, I'll clean up my act
That's a hard cold fact

Some days I feel alright
Some days I can't wait until it's night
Some days you gotta face that light
Get back in the ring, put on your gloves and fight
I think it's gonna take some time
To find a way to ease my mind
I'm gonna take the long way back home
I'm gonna take the long way back home
Oh back home

So many things I ain't done yet
So many things I've done that I'd forget
I just need a place to rest my head

Some days I feel alright
Some days I can't wait until it's night
Some days you gotta face that light
Get back in the ring, put on your gloves and fight
I think it's gonna take some time
To find a way to ease my mind
I'm gonna take the long way back home

Some days I feel alright
Some days I can't wait until it's night
Some days you gotta face that light
Get back in the ring, put on your gloves and fight
I think it's gonna take some time
To find a way to ease my mind
I'm gonna take the long way back home
So I'm gonna take the long way back home
So I'm gonna take the long way back home
So I'm gonna take the long way back home
Back home

"Feels Like Home" (2013)

Shotgun lyrics - Sheryl Crow

You'd beg if I was under your hood
But it ain't doing us any good
Rolling through town and going too slow
What we need is an open road

400 horses need a little room to run
Well if you ain't gonna do it let me show you how it's done

Drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented
What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
Do you wanna drive? Come on, you can ride shotgun
Shotgun

Traffic jam as I'm sitting by, old man holding that same old sign
Tell me that the end is near but they've been saying that 100 years
But what if he's right, baby?
Maybe this time it's true
And we got nothing to lose

Drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented
What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
Do you wanna drive? Then baby you can ride shotgun
Shotgun

We gotta drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented
What good is your money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
If you ain't gonna drive then baby come on, ride shotgun

Drive it like it's stolen, park like it's rented (Shotgun)
What's the point of money if you ain't gonna spend it?
There's a reason roads go past the city limits
If you ain't gonna drive then baby you can ride shotgun
Shotgun

Shotgun

Easy lyrics - Sheryl Crow

We said that summer we'd go down to Cancun
But no money makes that kind of hard to do
Forget the beach – I’d rather be here with you
Playing Croquet okay, maybe, that’s not true

But you make it easy, easy, easy to get away
Sit in the sun and drink beer all day
Because it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?
Baby, let's stay home

We’ll put on bug spray and we'll lose our clothes
Put out the lawn chairs and turn on the hose
We’ll play Jack Johnson, he’s the new Don Ho
And we’ll go surfing, surfing, we'll surf the radio

'Cause you make it easy, easy, easy to get away
Sit in the sun and drink beer all day
You know it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?
Oh, hey, who needs Mexico?
Baby, let's stay home

Drink margaritas and take in the sunset
Later on we'll slip up to our king size bed
And make love, love, sweet love

You make it easy, easy
Oh, yes, it's easy, easy

You make it easy, easy, easy to get away
Sit in the sun and sip tequila all day
Because it's easy, easy, easier anyway

Hey, who needs Mexico?
Tell me now, who needs Mexico?
Baby let's stay home
Baby let's stay home

Let's get away baby
Oh, let's get away, baby
Oh...

Go on a little holiday...

Give It To Me lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Tell me you don't care
Or tell me you're just scared
But give me something I can hold on to

Just say what's on your mind
Or am I just wasting time?
If you don't want somebody loving you

You've got one foot in and one foot out the door
And baby I can't take it anymore

Just give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

You've got demons in your past
You think real love doesn't last
So pull me close and then push me away

Can't you look me in the eye?
Could you scream or laugh or cry?
But baby if you're leaving say goodbye

But if you can't find the right words anymore
Well then take me up the stairs and close the door

Give it to me
Just give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

Oh baby I'm begging you please
You've got me down on my knees tonight
I know what we have is real
Please remember how it feels to us

You've got one foot in and one foot out the door
And baby I can't take it anymore

Give it to me
Just give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me
All your love

We Oughta Be Drinkin' lyrics - Sheryl Crow

It’s the middle of the week
I’m just driving home
The sun’s going down and nothing’s going on

They played Whiskey River, I turn it up
And suddenly it hit me how thirsty I was

It’s only Wednesday night, gotta get up early
And tell you the truth, I ain’t that worried
Bout that right now so I think I’m gonna hit downtown and get loud

[Chorus:]
Well it’s one of them nights, feels like we oughta be drinkin'
We gotta get a little rowdy like we’re living in a country song
But some nights are made for staying at home
Sitting on the couch, watching TV alone
But tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin'

I’ll be damned
I’m not the only one here
Looks like the whole damn town’s in the mood for a beer

It ain’t the weekend yet, even 2 for 1 night
‘Cause we’re just drawn to that heavy neon light

I’m glad I hate my job
What’s your excuse?
You got a broken heart or are you just thirsty too?

Could be anything
But whatever the case
I think we’re all planning on getting shit-faced

[Chorus:]
But it’s one of them nights, feels like we oughta be drinkin'
We gotta get a little rowdy like we’re living in a country song
But some nights are made for staying at home
Sitting on the couch and watching TV alone
But tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin'

But some nights are made for staying at home
And roll a big fat bun and watching Nashville alone
But tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin'
Honey tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin'
Yea tonight it sure feels like we oughta be drinkin'

Callin' Me When I'm Lonely lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Friday night and it's snowing outside
I'm all alone here watching it fall
TV's on but the sounds turned down
Somehow I knew he'd know to call right now

I oughta just let it ring
'Cause every time it's the same damn thing

Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no
He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be
Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

He left a message saying he was only fifteen minutes away
And that's just enough time for me to figure out if I should stay or leave
But if I think it through
I ain't got nothing better than you

Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no
He swears that it's gonna be different this time but it won't be
Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

He's at the front door now
With his magic smile
And he'll be gone tomorrow
But right now he's mine for a little while

Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?
It's so wrong to be leading me on and I can't say no
Well he swears that its gonna be different this time but it won't be
Why's he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

Why is he always gotta be calling me when I'm lonely?

Waterproof Mascara lyrics - Sheryl Crow

So he wants to know
Does Superman really need to wear his cape to fly?
Where does rain come from?
And can I play outside?
All my friends have daddys, momma why don't I?

And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cuz it won't run like his daddy did

So I'm dating again
Letting my guard down is just so hard to do
Never introduced my son to someone new
'Cuz if I get my heart broke
Honey he will too

And so I wear waterproof mascara
There's things you shouldn't see when you're a kid
Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cuz it won't run like his daddy did

I can throw the ball out in the yard
Teach him how to fish
How to drive a car
But in my heart, it just wont be enough
We've always gotten by somehow
I may not need a man right now
But I know he does

Thank God they make waterproof mascara
'Cuz it wont run like his daddy did
That's why I wear waterproof mascara

Crazy Ain't Original lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Checking in and out and in and out of rehab
It ain't quite the shame it used to be
Well you're dressed to be the star 'cause one bad
Mug shot makes you much more interesting

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Well those neighbors we all tried to stay away from
Twelve kids were not enough, they had thirteen
And what everybody used to call a freak show
Well now we call reality TV

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Yea all these bankers down on Wall street riding Harleys
Wicked lawyers breaking all the rules
All those grammers with their cosmetic surgeons
Do their best to look like they're still in high-school

Crazy ain't original these days
The world was going half-crazy anyway
Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Anything you can think of, it's all been done before
Crazy ain't original no more

Nobody's Business lyrics - Sheryl Crow

It's getting late again tonight
And maybe you should just spend the night
But it ain't wrong as long as we think it's alright

But you don't have to park a block away
Or sneak out before the break of day
But if the neighbors see you who cares anyway?

It's nobody's business what we do
Let em all talk if they want to
It's nobody's business if I love you
Oh and I love you
Like nobody's business

Gossip makes the world go round
Especially in this stupid town
Somebody's probably driving by talking trash right now

It's nobody's business what we do
Let em all talk if they want to
It's nobody's business if I love you
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh
Yea I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's business

It's nobody's business what we do
Let em all talk if they want to
It's nobody's business if I love you
Oh and baby I do
Oooooooooooh
Oh and I'm gonna love you baby
Like nobody's business

Let em talk, let em talk
Oh yea
Let em all talk yea
As long as they don't know it's us

Homesick lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I've gotten used to being gone
Silhouettes and unmade beds
And more and more when I'm alone
I think of you

I'm getting tired of going nowhere
But it's all I ever do
But I can turn this thing around
Guess I don't want to

I turn the key, open up the door
I sit my suitcase down on the hardwood floor
And I call your name, and I climb the stairs
Then I realize that you're not there

And I get homesick
I get homesick
I get homesick
For anywhere but home

I think I used to have the answers
Oh but now I just don't know
Well that question still hangs on
Why did I let you go?
Why did I let you go?

I turn the key, open up the door
I sit my suitcase down on the hardwood floor
And I call your name, and I climb the stairs
Then I realize that you're not there

And I get homesick
I get homesick
I get homesick
For anywhere but home

I keep wishing I'll lose my mind time and time again
There's a picture of it in my head
Of me and you up there

I get homesick
I get homesick
I get homesick
For anywhere but home
Anywhere but home

I get homesick
I get homesick (Oh yes I do)
I get homesick
For anywhere but...
Anywhere but home
Oh but anywhere but home
'Cause I miss you

Homecoming Queen lyrics - Sheryl Crow

28, shouldn't look this old
But the last ten years sure took their toll
On the girl in the picture with the plastic crown
That sea queen dress wouldn't fit her now
Like it did
Before the kids

Yea she loves her husband 'cause she said she would
Oh it ain't so good but it ain't so good
She swore she wouldn't get stuck in this town
Now she's cutting coupons two doors down
From a mall
And it goes on

Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
When you're 17
You don't know
That you won't always be
Homecoming queen

Newspaper clipping and a stash in a box
Are the only things that didn't get lost
She married a guy on the real estate sign
And it's hard to believe once upon a time
She was royalty
The girl we all wanted to be

Yea too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
When you're 17
You don't know
That you won't always be
Homecoming queen

Or the captain of the team
And it ain't' what it seems
It's just a teenage dream

Too bad love ain't a local parade
In your uncle's Corvette on a Saturday
With all the little girls waiting on you to wave
When you're 17
You don't know
You won't always be
You don't know
You won't always be
Homecoming queen

Best Of Times lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I've got a class two Continental
Made in 1965
But with a "save the planet" sticker
That makes it kind of hard o drive

I got a big house full of pebbles
And I'm a big fan of both kinds
I never want to keep the doctor away
I wanted to show my sweet young mind

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine

Chanel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine

And my toys are made in China
My guitar's in Mexico
My foams and food comes from Japan
Give me a dog from Chicago

I need to take myself to Yellowstone
Climb up to that blue ridge too
Remind myself of what's beautiful
About the big muddy whatever

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine

Chanel my teens fears
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine

When I woke up this morning
I got down on my knees to pray
'Cause my end time is done running out
But my calendar's full of days

It's the best of times
It's the worst of times
Might not change the world
But I'll change it in mine

Making music parts
Our best days are behind
Like mine
Like mine
Like mine
Like mine
Like mine

Stay At Home Mother lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi
Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop together
I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back
And then we're gonna have a good time when I come together

And I call her every single night
I'll miss her every day
And if she kissed me and waved goodbye
I could hear her say

Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

I've been working late nights making up for the times
That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at our school plays
Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike
I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day

But the price will never measure up
To what's inside a box
While I run along around the world
She tells me to stop

And stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

We could play house and pretend
That tomorrow you won't be gone
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

I wish some things were different
Doesn't change one memory
My little girl grew up
While I was too busy to see
That she's become the one thing
That I could never be

Stay at home, mother
Stay at home
Stay at home, mother
Stay at home

She could have a house and couple kids
And never have to be involved
As a stay at home mother
Stay at home mother
Stay at home...

This Is You (That Was Then) lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Every night I hold you tight and wish you’d trust me
Don’t you think that’s something I’ve earned
You think I must be lying baby when you gonna learn

That was then but it’s different now
You came along and I’m changed somehow
I wouldn’t leave even if you wanted me to
And that’s all over yeah that’s old news
Gonna prove it to you if it’s the last thing I do
That was then
Oh but this is you

The people say I have a way of loving and leaving
Baby who you gonna believe
You got my heart, you got my soul
What else do you need

That was then but it’s different now
You came along and I’m changed somehow
I wouldn’t leave even if you wanted me to
And that’s all over yeah that’s old news
Gonna prove it to you if it’s the last thing I do
That was then
Oh but this is you

And don’t we all have some history
That we’d all like to forget

That was then but it’s different now
You came along and I’m changed somehow
I wouldn’t leave even if you wanted me to
And that’s all over yeah that’s old news
Gonna prove it to you if it’s the last thing I do
That was then
Oh but this is you

You're Asking The Wrong Person lyrics - Sheryl Crow

We meet for coffee every week at least a time or two
To sit and catch up on the latest news
And no one knows me better than you do
But you’ve got a girlfriend
Who doesn’t like you having girls for friends
So you don’t always tell her where you’ve been
Even though you’re just with me again
You say you went out and bought her a ring
And now you’re asking me what would I think

Well you’re asking the wrong person
I don’t know what to say
Should I tell you that she’s good for you
Or tell you to run away
Every time you look into my eyes
I keep praying that you’ll see
That you’re asking the wrong person
You should be asking me

I didn’t plan this
I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
Until this moment I don’t think I knew
And I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do
Should you ask her or should you wait
Or are you making a big, a big mistake

Well you’re asking the wrong person
I don’t know what to say
Should I tell you I’m in love with you
And that my heart’s about to break
Every time you look into my eyes
I keep praying that you’ll see
That you’re asking the wrong person
You should be asking me

You’re asking the wrong person
You should be asking me

"100 Miles From Memphis" (2010)

Our Love Is Fading lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Is this just a dream?
Don't wanna change a thing about you
And all my lonely days
Seem so far away without you

You say you're so happy now
And you say the love you've found is easy
But every now and then
Can't help but wonder when you're leaving

Don't you know that I need you?
I only want to please you
Don't know why you keep holding back
Baby, don't you know that

While you're hesitating
Baby, our love is fading
Still you keep me hanging on

While you wait for the right time
Every day turns to nighttime
Until one day love is gone

I called you on the phone
Seems like you're never home but I know
It's not that you don't care
I think it's that you're scared to let go

Don't have to tell me twice
I've made the sacrifice to hold on
I could be out instead
You're playing with my head and that's wrong

Don't you know that I love you?
And there ain't no one above you
Don't know why you keep holding back
Baby, don't you know that

While you're hesitating
Baby, our love is fading
But you keep me hanging on
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

While you wait for the right time
Every day turns to nighttime
Until one day love is gone
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

While you're hesitating
Baby, our love is fading
But you keep me hanging on
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

I can't tell you why
Something deep inside has died
I could try and try
But I can't bring it back to life

Someday when you're older
And you search the world over
You might wish you could hold someone
Baby, when you look for me
I'll be a memory

And while you're hesitating
Baby, our love is fading
But you keep me hanging on
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

Oh, while you wait for the right time
Everyday turns into nighttime
You just keep me hanging on
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

While you're hesitating
Baby, our love is fading
You just keep me
You just keep me hanging on
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

(While you wait for the right time)
(Everyday turns to nighttime)
Until one day love is gone
(You keep me hanging)
(You keep me hanging)

While you're hesitating
Baby, our love is fading
You keep me hanging on

You keep me hanging
You keep me hanging
(Our love is gone)

You keep me hanging
You keep me hanging
(Our love is gone)

You keep me hanging
You keep me hanging
(Our love is gone)

You keep me hanging
You keep me hanging
(Our love is gone)

You keep me hanging
You keep me hanging

Eye To Eye lyrics - Sheryl Crow (feat. Keith Richards)

Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Blood and wine may flow
Only love and war make history
We must share flesh and bone
But we don't share philosophy

Some people got a ways to go
Some lessons they don't ever learn
To keep your enemies close
The other cheek you soon will turn

If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along

If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what, you and I
We belong
Together, together

Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na

Don't lay your worries on me
I got my own to keep me company
Talk is like a worn out suit
Comes unraveled when it turns cheap

You can have all that I own
But my soul you'll never keep
I'll dig a hole and I'll call it home
'Cause I have learned how to dig deep
How to dig deep

Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na

If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along

If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what, you and I
We belong
We belong

If we don't see eye to eye
That doesn't mean that we can't try
To get along
Get along

If we don't see eye to eye
No matter what, you and I
We belong
Together, together

Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na
Na, na, na-na, na-na, na, na, na, na

Sign Your Name lyrics - Sheryl Crow (feat. Justin Timberlake)

Fortunately you
Have someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in

The symptoms are so deep
It's much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby

Time, I'm sure, will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play

I'd rather be in Hell
With you, baby, than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way

Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby

Birds never looked into the sun
Before the day is gone
Oh, the light shines bright
On a peaceful day

A stranger blue leaves us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain

All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates in our dictates
Slowly we make love

Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby

Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name across my heart
I want you to be my baby

Sign your name
(Sign your name across my heart, baby)
(Sign your name across my heart, baby)

Summer Day lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Every little thing that I felt that day
Never will forget, there was love in the air
I wasn't looking for love to come my way
Ooh baby baby but then I saw you there

That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be where you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you

I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine

Did you ever think you knew everything?
Did you ever think you had it all figured out?
Ooh baby baby
You know things can change
But someone loves you with no doubt

That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be where you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you

Can you hear me, baby?
When I say I'm for you
I knew we could make it
The moment you came into my life
Don't you know that you keep me shining

That Summer day that I recall
You came into my life
And you gave me hope and love
I just want to be where you want me to
That Summer day that changed it all
You came into my life
And you let me fall in love
My baby I just want to be with you

And I'm gonna let it shine
Yeah, I'm gonna let it shine
Yes, I'm gonna let it shine

I just want to let it shine
I just want to let it shine

Long Road Home lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Teach me the golden rule
Make me a lovesick fool
In the light of day
Let sorrow drift away
Crown of thorns has many jewels

Songs of glory sung in hate
Only destroy what love has made
And if the Kingdom comes
Don't wanna be the one
That is standing in the way

Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the rivers flow
We will meet again
On the long road home

They say they've seen His face
They say He's called their name
I have heard their lies
Heard the peoples cries
Time has come, it's gettin' late

All the stories I have heard
Enlightened ones who walked the earth
They bring me sweet relief
Rid me of human grief
I am free from every hurt

Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the river flows
We will meet again
On the long road home

Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong
You hear Sylvester sing a simple song
What they've been sayin' for, oh, so long
'Cause love and happiness is what's goin' on

(Wind blows)
(Rivers flow)
We will meet again
On the long road home

Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the rivers flow
We will meet again
On the long road home

Sure as the wind blows
Sure as the river flows
We will meet again
On the long road home

Say What You Want lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I saw your rantin' on TV today
I heard you tell me to reload
You got a lot of nerve to talk that way
Someone unplug the microphone

I'm tired of all the fighting
Cynicism and back-biting
Can't even hear myself think
You pour the Kool-Aid and then we drink

So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?

Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)

Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance and now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)

Ignorance is patriotic
Reason is idiotic
Winds of change keep on blowin'
If this is America, you'd never know it

So much noise, so much chatter
Does the truth even matter?

Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)

Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance, now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)

All you little ones with open hearts
Don't let hatred tear your world apart
And if you wonder who is wrong or who is right
Better go ask God to shine some light

Earthquakes and jihad Jane
Talkin' heads and hate campaigns
If aliens should land today
Who would be more afraid, us or them?

Say, say what you want to
(Even though you never mean it)
Say, say what you want to
(Ain't got time to be wastin' time)

Say, say what you want to
(We had a chance, now we're gonna blow it)
Say, say what you want to
(If this is America, you'd never know it)

Say, say what you want to
(You gotta say it, say)
Say, say what you want to
(Whatever's on your mind)

Say, say what you want to
(Give me a microphone, baby)
Say, say what you want to
(All the things I want to say)

Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to
(Are you lovers, are you haters?)

Say, say what you want to
(Can someone say, yeah?)
Say, say what you want to
Say, say what you want to

Peaceful Feeling lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Makin' the best of a situation
Buildin' a house on a strong foundation
Everybody wants to feel alright

When you fly off in the wrong direction
Turn it around, see your own reflection
Everybody wants to feel alright

Let's dance to the music, baby
Let's dance 'til your troubles fade away
Let's dance in the summer breeze
I wanna dance 'til my spirit's free

Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling

Every day and every night
Lookin' around you miss your own damn life
Everybody wants to feel alright

Let's dance to the music, baby
Let's dance 'til your troubles fade away
Let's dance in the summer breeze
I wanna dance 'til my spirit's free

Free, peaceful feeling
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling
Give me that
Free, peaceful feeling

I can see peace in the city
I can see peace in the nation
No matter who is leading
There will be peace and salvation

Makin' the best of a situation
Buildin' a house on a strong foundation
Everybody wants to feel alright

Stop lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Find someone in love
Hold them so close
It's not close enough
Moment to moment time's slipping away
While you're looking for something you're hoping to find
Are the things that you wanted within all the time

You say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
You say stop
Stop all this running
Wanting to stay in one place

Oh I know I was wrong
Selfish am I to let you go on
Just couldn't see what your love meant to me
Till it was gone and all hope has faded away
I could beg I could pray
That you'd come back one day

But you say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
You say stop
Stop all the running
Wanting to stay in one place

Next time I know
There's no time to waste
If there is a next time
I will stand up and say

I say stop
Stop the world spinning
Faster and faster
We're losing our way
I said stop
I'm only beginning to understand half the way
Time slips away

You say stop
Time slips away
Away

Sideways lyrics - Sheryl Crow (feat. Citizen Cope)

I know it ain't easy
But its not nice for you to leave me
There's no words to describe it
Friends are ...

Diamonds they fade
Flowers they bloom
I'm telling you...
These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
They've been knocking me ...
Whenever you're around me

These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings wont go away

These feelings wont go away

You know it ain't easy
But its not nice for you to leave me
There's no words to describe it
Friends are against this

Diamonds they fade
Flowers they bloom
I'm telling you
These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
They've been knocking me out there
Whenever you come around me

These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings wont go away

These feelings wont go away

But diamonds they fade
Flowers they bloom
I'm telling you
I'm telling you
Diamonds they fade
The flowers they bloom
I'm telling you
I'm telling you

These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
They've been knocking me out there
Whenever you come around me

These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings wont go away
They've been knocking me sideways
I keep thinking in a moment that
Time will take them away

These feelings wont go away

These feelings wont go away

These feelings wont go away

100 Miles From Memphis lyrics - Sheryl Crow

(Scent of an angel)
Keeps me drivin' all night just to get to you
(Scent of an angel)
I keep your picture on my dash just to get me through

(Scent of an angel)
Reminds me of those crazy nights down in Mexico
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, temptation got a way of turnin' the lights down low

You're cool in your faded blue jeans
Just a fool in a tequila soaked dream
But you ain't no saint
You know I ain't no beauty queen

I was stuck in this border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby, let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks

I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back

So let's move on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles
From Memphis

A song playin' in my head
Send me an angel
Move on up ahead
(Scent of an angel)

Sendin' a message
'Cause I feel a little cold and blue
(Scent of an angel)
Ah, expensive habit sure took a hold of you

Crawlin' in on a Sunday
And leavin' town on Monday
There's a whole world waiting
Waitin' on the other side of the line

I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
A vision of you by my side

So let's head on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles
From here

(Rolling, rolling)
(Somewhere back in town)
I'm stuck in a border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby, let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks

I got nothing behind me
Nothing left to remind me
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back

So let's move on down
Get around, shake this town
Drive a while, go in style
A hundred miles
From here

Here comes the morning
And here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
Here comes the morning

(Scent of an angel)
Keeps me drivin' all night just to get to you
(Scent of an angel)

Roses And Moonlight lyrics - Sheryl Crow

There is a rose
Grows in the moonlight
And just like desire
Creeps up in the night

You'll never know
How deep is the pain
Until I hear you say
That you feel the same

Only you and I
Know about the love we share
Only time and space
Could ever keep us, keep us apart

Where there is a will
Baby, there is a way
Pull your body into mine
Lose yourself in the sway

I'll feel what you feel
I wanna crave what you crave
Cause roses and moonlight
Never fade away

And deep in the night
You call my name
To want you so much
Is a mysterious game

Turn up the heat
Bodies on fire
Go on and teach me
The ways of desire

Only you and I
Know about the love we share
Only time and space
Could ever keep us, keep us apart

Where there is a will
Baby, there is a way
Pull your body into mine
Lose yourself in the sway

I'll feel what you feel
I wanna crave what you crave
Cause roses and moonlight
Never fade away

Where there is a will
Baby, there is a way
Pull your body into mine
Lose yourself in the sway

I'll feel what you feel
I wanna crave what you crave
Cause roses and moonlight
Never fade away

I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
Dance baby dance, pull your body into mine
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
Dance baby dance, pull your body into mine

I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
I don't creep baby, till late at night
Dance baby dance, pull your body into mine

I Want You Back lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Uh-huh, huh, huh, huh
Let me hear ya now
Uh, huh

When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd

Someone picked you from that bunch
One glance was all it took
But now it's much too late for me
To take a second look

Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?

Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you
In her arms

(I want you back)
Yes, I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby

(I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back)
Na, na, na, na

Tryin' to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, boy
That I know wrong from right

Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following you, boy
I didn't even want around

Let me tell you now
Oh, baby, all I need is one more chance
(Show you that I love you)
Oh, won't you please let me
Back in your heart?

Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you
In her arms, arms

A-buh-buh-buh-buh
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
A-buh-buh-buh-buh

All I need
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I want
A-buh-buh-buh-buh
All I need

(All I need is just one more chance)
(To show you that I love you, baby)
Baby
(Baby)
Baby
(Baby)

(I want you back)
Forget what happened then
(I want you back)
Let me live again

Oh, baby, I was blind to let you go
'Cause now since I see you
In her arms

I want you back
(Spare me of this cause)
I want you back
(Give back what I lost)

Oh, baby, I need one more chance
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart?
(I want you back)

(Forget what happened then)
I want you back
(Let me live again)
Oh, baby

Go Tell It On The Mountain lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Jesus Christ is born

Go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say go
Tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds
kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in that lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
God sent to us salvation
Born that Christmas morn

Hey go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

I said go
Tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born

I say go
Tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Hey go
Ttell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go
Tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasing On An Open Fire) lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some
Mistletoe help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
On his sleigh
And ev'ry mother's
Child is gonna spy to see if
Reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this
Simple phrase to kids from
One to ninety-two
Altho' it's been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you

White Christmas lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all
Your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases
May all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white
Christmas with you
Jingle Bells
All the way, all the way

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home for Christmas
There'll be snow and mistletoe

Christmas eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams

Merry Christmas, Baby lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Merry, merry Christmas, baby

Gave me diamond rings for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe

I said, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice, yes, you did
Yes, you did, yes, you did, yes, you did
I said merry, merry Christmas baby
Sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise

I said, merry, merry, merry Christmas, baby
You sure did treat me nice
I said, merry, merry Christmas, baby
Girl, you sure did treat me nice

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm puttin' it through Al's mike

Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well, I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
While you're standing 'neath the mistletoe

Well, I'm feeling mighty fine

Well, I want to kiss you, baby
Underneath your mistletoe

I said merry Christmas, baby

Girl, you sure did treat me nice

Blue Christmas lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same thing if you're not here with me

And when the blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

You'll be doing all right with your Christmas of white
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
And I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

There Is A Star That Shines Tonight lyrics - Sheryl Crow

There is a star that shines tonight, for all the world to see
So far away my lover is, please bring him home to me
The world is weary and unrest, to settle on us all
Tonight my Christmas wish will be, for all to heath the call

Peace on earth and in our hearts
That love ring out ring near and far
And lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star that shines tonight

Once the angle did appear, to say be not afraid
But the angles watching over you, is the prayer that I will pray
And as we gather around the tree, and sing those Christmas songs
Will hear your voice above the fray, until your safely home

Peace on earth and in our hearts
That love ring out ring near and far
And lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star that shines for you and me

And while we wait for freedoms bells, to ring throughout the world
The Christmas wish remains the same, of every boy and girl
That when that glorious sun does rise, and melt away their fears
That you'll be home this time to stay, and waiting by the tree

Peace on earth and in our hearts
That love ring out ring near and far
Oh lift the weary and the weak
Keep you near this Christmas Eve
There is a star oh there is a star that shines for you and me

All Through The Night lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Sleep, my child
And peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian angels
God will send thee
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours
Are creeping
Hill and dale
In slumber sleeping
I my loving
Vigil keeping
All through the night

While the moon
Her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world
Is sleeping
All through the night
O'er thy spirit
Gently stealing
Visions of delight
Revealing
Breathes a pure
And holy feeling
All through the night

Though I roam
A minstrel lonely
All through the night
My true harp shall
Praise sing only
All through the night
Love's young dream
Alas, is over
Yet my strains of love
Shall hover
Near the presence
Of my lover
All through the night

Hark
A solemn bell is ringing
Clear through the night
Thou, my love
Art heavenward winging
Home through the night
Earthly dust
From off thee shaken
Soul immortal
Shalt thou awaken
With thy last dim
Journey taken
Home through the night

"Detours" (2008)

God Bless This Mess lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Daddy's in the hallway
Hanging pictures on the wall
Mama's in the kitchen
Making casseroles for all
My brother came home yesterday
From somewhere far away
He doesn't look like I remember
He just stares off into space
He must've seen some ugly things
He just can't seem to say

God bless this mess
God bless this mess

Got a job in town
Selling insurance on the phone
With Robert and Teresa
And two con men from back home
Everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that
Something has gone missing

And it makes me kinda sad, oh

God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess

Heard about the day
that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen, policemen
And people came from all around
The smoke covered the city
And the body count arise
The president spoke words of comfort
With tears in his eyes
Then he led us as a nation
Into a war all based on lies, oh

God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess

Shine Over Babylon lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I walked the heat of seven hills
Endless talk of losing wills
Great highways in a constant melt
Men and women and children all have overbuilt

Buying bread and paying for none
Creatures of a waning sun
Teacher's hands are overrun
Clowns and gypsies have all but gone

You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon

Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Can lead to madman oil drillers
Won't be long before we all are killers

Little boy lost way up the mountains
Cities drowning under boiling fountains
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
I was trembling in a golden haze

You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon

Celebrate the golden cow
Praise the bloated bank account
If there's a god where is he now
The precipice is slipping further out

Sanskrit message from the mounts
Leave your possession, hope abounds
There's nothing here for you to cry about
We're all just followers from here on out

I take the stage, I walk the planks
I sing these songs with little thanks
I wait for shouts from crazy cranks
I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks

I found my way to alexandria
Where gurus bubble up on gangea
Scavengers, they run up and hand ya
All the junk that should have damned ya

You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon

If everything in life was free
You'd float in your own reverie
The things that you could never see
seal the gap between you and me

You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon
You make me wanna
Shine over Babylon

Love Is Free lyrics - Sheryl Crow

One
Two
One, two, three!

She got a shack
Floating down the Pontchartrain
With the water rolling in
You gotta swim
before the levees start to crack

Another day
Another dollar down the drain
You go to town
No one's around
Cause if you drown
there ain't no hope for coming back

It ain't no big thing if you lose your faith
They kinda like to keep you in your place
You never know what might be coming your way

Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money's got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free

You go to church
and pray to God for no more rain
A Cadillac
A paper sack
well hey there Jack
you want some bourbon for the pain

Hey tambourine
Ain't no rhythm on the street

With the voodoo
What do you do
when the radio just plays on anyway?

Those crazy fingers in your jelly jar
They'll jack your money
while you sleep in you car
They got the karma
they ain't getting too far

Oh everybody
Devil take your money
My money's got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free

Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Everybody come together
Everybody come together

Yeah everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold on me
Oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free

Oh everybody
Devil take your money
Money got no hold of me
oh oh everybody's making love
cause love is free

Love is free

Love is free

Peace Be Upon Us lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Walking down the street of dreams, eating from the fruits of life
Tripping now on the smallest things
Trying to reach the light, trying to reach the light
Pick the key up off the floor, put the key into the lock
Turn the lock, open up the door
Look at all you've got, look at all you've got
All the sinners are saints, all you creatures of faith
Don't need to be afraid
If you know what I mean let me hear you say

Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Yeah

The world will turn even when we're gone
The earth will host many souls to come
Who will write the history?
Tales of wise men, villains, and innocent ones
All you shepherds and sheep, when you wake from your sleep
It will be a new day
If you know what I mean let me hear you say

Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Yeah

Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Peace be upon us, peace be upon us
Be upon us all
Yeah

Gasoline lyrics - Sheryl Crow (feat. Ben Harper)

Way back in the year of 2017
The sun was growing hotter
And oil was way beyond its peak
When crazy Hector Johnson broke into a refinery
And the black gold started flowing
Just like Boston tea

It was the summer of the riots
And London sat in sweltering heat
And the gangs of Mini Coopers
Took the battle to the streets
But when the creed was handed down
For no more trucks and no more cars
They threw cans of petrol through the windows at Scotland Yard

Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free

When the Mounties stormed the palace of the Saudi family
They held them up for ransom
Without disturbing their high tea
But their getaway was shaky
They stalled in the Riyadh streets
Cause you can't make it very far
When your tank is on empty

The final can of gasoline was loaded on a truck
And driven through the streets of Agra to the palace aquaduct
You see, all the majesty of worship that once adorned these fatal halls
Was just a target to the angry
As they blew up the Taj Mahal

Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
will be free, will be free

Gary ran a market way down in Tennessee
Where all the farmers got together and talked about this great country
But when the government turned its back on farming
Man, what I hear
They dragged the pumps out of the ground
With a big vintage John Deere

I've got soldiers on my payroll
Standing guard on my front drive
Snipers on the roof poised at those
Who don't want me alive
Cause they audited my taxes
My family under threat
Cause I've got a message and a megaphone
And I'll scream it to the death

Gasoline
Will be free, will be free
Gasoline
Will be free, will be free

You got the farms in Argentina
Making fuel from sugar cane
You got the bastards in Washington
Afraid of popping the greed vain
Cause the money's in the pipeline
And pipeline's running dry
And we'll be the last to recognize
Where there's shit there's always flies

Out Of Our Heads lyrics - Sheryl Crow

If you feel you wanna fight me
There's a chain around your mind
When something is holding you tightly
What is real is so hard to find

Losing babies to genocide
Oh where's the meaning in that plight
Can't you see that we've really bought into
Every word they proclaimed and every lie, oh

If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts

Someone's feeding on your anger
Someone's been whispering in your ear
You've seen his face before
You've been played before
These aren't the words you need to hear

Through the dawn of darkness blindly
You have blood upon your hands
All the world will treat you kindly
But only the heart can understand, oh understand

If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart

If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart

Every man is his own prophet
Oh every prophet just a man
I say all the women stand up, say yes to themselves
Teach your children best you can

Let every man bow to the best in himself
We're not killing any more
We're the wisest ones, everybody listen
'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore

If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart

If we could only get out of our heads, out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears, swallow your
Tears and look to your heart

Detours lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Mother, can you hold me together
It's so dark and I'm losing my way
I took all of these detours to find love
But when I did, it just faded away

Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart

Mother, your words are so healing
You speak of love and of light and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief

Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart

Now what do I do
With the sweet love of mine
Do I give it away and
Hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake
As the moon and the stars
Mother, teach me to love
With a paper-thin heart

Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
There are some things I just can't forget

Now That You're Gone lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Well I can see heaven
See it over the plain
If I start running now
I think I can make it
And never look back again

Your face is all around me
Your keys are in my hand
And everywhere I go
I'll try to remember
Exactly who I am

'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of everything
'Cause nothing belongs to me
'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe

We made a bed of roses
But I got pricked by the thorns
And on a long cold night
I still think I'm bleeding
But I wake up untorn

Well I am a missing person
I've lost it all but my name
And, I'm afraid some long lonely road
Will lead me back to you again

Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of everything
'Cause nothing belongs to me
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone

'Cause now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Free to make a mess of everything
'Cause nobody's watching me
Now that you're gone
I am free
Now that you're gone
I can breathe
Now that you're gone
I am free
Now that you're gone
I can breathe

Drunk With The Thought Of You lyrics - Sheryl Crow

There's something I need to show you
My head in my hands
'Cause I don't understand
When I don't even know you,
How you melted my heart in two

I wake up in the morning,
Follow you and then hide
Just to watch you walk by
Comes on me with no warning
I think about you and I get high

To assure you I even exist
Do I tell you it's you that I've missed?
Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do,
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you

I can't stand all this freedom
I've been there before
And it's such a good bore
You're all I ever needed
If you'd only walk through my door

To assure you I even exist
Do I tell you it's you that I've missed?
Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do,
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you

I could wait my whole life for this moment to come
With a long list of beautiful chances I've blown
Well if love is a cocktail of all that you do,
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you
I get drunk with the thought of you

Diamond Ring lyrics - Sheryl Crow

We made love all day
In our little hide away

But I blew up our love nest
By making one little request

Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Don't mean anything
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Should not mean a thing

You could say I do
Hide your negative reviews
You love me you say
But you can't even face the day

Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Don't mean anything
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Should not change

Some say love is blind
But I say love is only in the mind

Diamonds may be sweet
But to me they just bring on cold feet

Someday you'll be like me
With someone who just wants to be free

Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Don't mean anything
Diamond ring
Diamond ring
Should not mean a thing

Motivation lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Little white girl
In a shiny black car
Hanging out with her friends
And doing black tar
Daddy pays for the wedding
With a fist full of dollars
Cost as much
As the state of Guatemala

Oh why
Even try?

Well I got a big car
And a flat screen TV
All my loser friends
And my boyfriend's family
Bring bags of food
And watch reality freakshows
Everybody's faking it
But nobody thinks so

Oh why
Even try?

Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free

Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION

Skinny young dude
In a hundred dollar tee shirt
In King James kicks
And a brand new manicure
Hotties doing pilates
With the snotties and the pleasers
Sneaking in the back door
At Coconut Teasers

Why
Even try?

Well, I dropped out of school
When I was seventeen
'Cause I didn't have time
To study my magazines
'Cause there's a lot to learn
From the privileged few
Like how to build a brand
Wearing high heeled shoes

Oh why
Even try?

Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free

Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION

I'm gonna own this town
I'm gonna own this town
I'm gonna own this town
Yeah, it's all mine

Oh why
Even try?

Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free

Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious planswhole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free

Make It Go Away (Radiation Song) lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I stare into
Some great abyss
And calculate
The things I'd miss
If I could only
Make some sense of this

And Madam Butterfly
Resounds
Over the mothership
Her lights flashing around
I float above her and
I wonder how
To make it go away
Make it go away

I crawl into my circumstance
Lay on the table
Begging for another chance
But I was a good girl
I can't understand how to
Make it go away
Make it go away

Sometimes I wonder
Which hurts the worse
The thought of dying
Or reliving every hurt
Was love the illness
And disease the cure
Make it go away

Love Is All There Is lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Everyone is talking about me
How my heart is broken
But they don't see

When you're lonely inside
The world looks so carefree
When you're lonely inside
You just can't see

Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
All I really know for certain, babe
Is that Love Is All There Is

Every now and then
There comes a time
Someone comes along
To change your mind

You believe it's unwise
To give in to careless dreams
You believe it's a prize
You'll never win

Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
All I really know for certain, babe
Is that Love Is All There Is

You believe it's unwise
To give in to careless dreams
If you don't see that is why
You will never know

Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
Does anybody want you
Does anybody need you
The question is
All I really know for certain, babe
Is that Love Is All There Is

Lullaby For Wyatt lyrics - Sheryl Crow

The world could fall apart
But you're my heart, my dear
I will sing this song
'Til we are gone, my dear

How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you'll go out and you'll come back some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know

Cause you were mine
For a time

I could shape your mind
But why waste time, my dear
There's so much more to know
And I can show you dear

How do I keep you from losing your way

Hope you'll go out and you'll come back some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know

Cause you were mine
For a time

I have held you close
And breathed your name, my dear
I was with you then
And will remain, my dear

How do I keep you from losing your way
Hope you will find love like I did some day
But love is letting go
And this I'll know

Cause you were mine
For a time

Doctor My Eyes lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Oooh....

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of tears
Without crying
Now i want to understand...

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good
Without hiding
You must help me, if you can...

Doctor my eyes...
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise...
To leave them open for so long

Cause I have wondered through this world
And as each moment has infurred
I've been waiting
To awaken, from these dreams...

People go just where they will
I never noticed them until
I got the feeling-
That it's later, than it seems...

Doctor my eyes...
Tell me what they see
I hear their cries...
Just say if it's too late for me

[music break]

Doctor my eyes...
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries...
Just say if it's too late for me

Doctor my eyes...
Cannot see the sky
Is this the price...
For having learned how not to cry..y.

Oooh...
Won't you help me understand
Oooh...
I wanna understand
Oooh...
I wanna understand
Oooh...
Oh, doctor, doctor help me, oh
Oooh...
I can hear the people crying
Oooh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oooh...
Help me understand
Oooh...
Help me understand
Oooh...

Here Comes The Sun lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right

Rise Up lyrics - Sheryl Crow

We take one step
One tiny step and we're on our way
To where we are from where we were
Just yesterday

Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you

You'll be allright
I'm on your side
And we'll make it through
When you can't go on
I will be strong
Enough to carry you

Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And nothing seems allright
The sun's gonna rise up with you

Well the sun's gonna rise
When it's everything or nothing
And everything seems dark
The sun's gonna rise up with you

Beautiful Dream lyrics - Sheryl Crow

We could build a house
We could build a wall
We could move a mountain
And we could watch it fall

Wouldn't it be different
If everyone could see
That everything is sacred
And everyone is free

Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream

And everyone is happy
Dancing in the streets
Laughing with each other
In total harmony

And no one's going hungry
When every cry is heard
We will know the meaning
Of heaven here on earth

Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream

Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
Oh, what a beautiful dream

Just a little love
Just a little peace
Every boy and girl
And every family

See the future coming
Leave the past behind
Cus' what you give away
Comes back in its own sweet time

Oh, what a beautiful dream
Oh, what a beautiful dream
Everybody's got somebody they need
As long as we're together
Oh, what a beautiful dream

"Wildflower" (2005)

I Know Why lyrics - Sheryl Crow

They say love keeps on growing
It's the one thing that I've felt I've always known
Cause it wouldn't matter where you're going
Cause where you are is where I wanna go

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Rolling round but when you go and let somebody in
They might fade away

Tell me why the road keeps turning
When everything you want is straight ahead
And every thing I thought worth learning
Is forgotten when I see your face instead

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Rolling round but when you go and let somebody in
They might fade away

All you say is so overrated
Holding on to yesterday
Along the way, it can get too complicated to say

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
You better think again

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Flowers in the wind
Blowin' round the wind
You let somebody in they might fade away

Fade away...

Perfect Lie lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Burn like a cigarette
All inside my head
Reminding me not to forget
Words, words I'd never say
Things along the way
Their telling me that I'm the best

'Cause your face it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that you've hid
You, you want to be only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and took me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then

Help, help is on the way
That's what they all say
It's a thing that they don't know
'Cause I, I know everything
And maybe it's just a ring
But that won't make me let it go

Look at your face it doesn't look like it did
You give away everything now that your here
You, you want to be only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then

Look at your face doesn't look like it did
You hide your love
But your not willing now to give, willing now to give
You, you want to be only
To never get lonely
So you opened up your arms and let me in
And this our last goodbye
And this is a perfect lie
Told by someone that I used to know back then

Good Is Good lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Good is good and bad is bad
You don’t know which one you had
She put your books out on the sidewalk
Now they’re blowing ‘round
They won’t help you when you’re down

Love’s on your list of things to do
To bring your good luck back to you
And if you think that everything’s unfair
Would you care if you’re the last one standing there

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

I don’t hold no mystery
But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted
And that’s not where you want to be

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And you could find a rock to crawl right under
If all your good times pass you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
And you don’t know why

And everytime you hear the rolling thunder
You turn around before the lightening strikes
And does it ever make you stop and wonder
If all your good times pass you by

When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to shine
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don’t belong
Neither do I

Wildflower lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Quiet hour
You have always been my wildflower
Showing up wherever beauty's lost its way
Your heart must break

I was free
Until I heard the song you sang me to me
Pulling me away from everything I knew
To be with you

And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly

Here we are
Burning faster than the closest star
Falling back down to the Earth
I love you so it sometimes hurts

Closer still
You will find me standing on the hill
Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide
Now, come inside

And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly

And everything I know just fades away
And when a wildflower grows it picks its space
And that's the way it is when nature plays its lovely hand
We'll understand everything

Everything, everything

Chances Are lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I was lost inside a daydream
Swimming through the saline
I looked at you and you breathed in
Well, that's the way it's always been

It all comes down to creating time
You don't always have to make it right
We'll all drive by in our hybrid lives
Chances are we'll make it back

I was doing time in the LA jail
My Karma was living inside a failure
No matter how it don't matter now
Rest assured the rest is blurred

It all comes down to doing time
We don't always have to make it a crime
We'll all drive off in our hybrid lives
Chances are we'll make it back
We'll make it back... We'll make it back

Terrence McKenna said
It is better to explore within
We were apes before we spoke of sin
The cosmos sits on the tip of a pin

It all comes down to creating time
You don't always have to make it alright
We'll all drive by with our hybrid lives
Chances are... Chances are... Chances are
We'll make it back... We'll make it back
We'll make it back... We'll make it back

Lifetimes lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Take off your halo, take off your golden crown
The spotlight's off, the shades are down
Where are your friends now, they're ghosts in a windowpane
Sometimes it's hard to stay the same

We can live lifetimes in a single day
No matter what you do, I love you anyway
You say if you're lost inside; well, I get lonely, too
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you

I dreamed I was swimming, fighting the undertow
Drifting in circles, no place to go
And when I woke up, I was wringing wet
So much stronger than before

We can live lifetimes in a single day
No matter what you do, I love you anyway
You say if you're lost inside; well, I get lonely, too
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you

The words escape
The silence made
The looks betray
I'm not afraid

We can live lifetimes in a single day
No matter what you do, I love you anyway
You say if you're lost inside; well, I get lonely, too
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you
Even in the worst of times, I give my best to you

Letter To God lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I woke up late
Put my sweater on
And I walked down to the shop
I stood in line
'Til the line was gone
And my turn to win was lost

What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clue?

Well I'm sending a letter to God
How will it be when I'm gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?

I took you in
Made a bed for you
And in turn you gave me some
Words to go on
Told me I was saved
But you never said what from

What do you do
When you look to the left and to the right
And find no clues
To the questions you ask yourself at night?
Who will come through?

You'll be sending a letter to God
How will it be when you're gone?
And what if everyone is wrong?

A solid case
For the innocent
Could be made and laid to rest
They say, "it won't do
If you aren't like us
Then you've failed the final test"

What do you feel
When you look to the east and to the west
If this is real
Does it feel like some never ending test?
A finance deal
If this is my one last chance to invest
I've one request

I'll be sending a letter to God
To know where will I go when I'm gone
And what if everyone is wrong?

I Don't Wanna Know lyrics - Sheryl Crow

I heard the song, it was all around
Everyone's quitting, everyone's breaking down
I called your house on the telephone
Nobody answered, but I know you're home

All in all, it's nature's poetry
I can't understand the way it flows
I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know

I pushed a button just to find my way
I got directions but I'm still lost today
I see her smiling, but her eyes were dead
Nobody's crying, that's what paper said

All in all, it's nature's poetry
I can't understand the way it goes
I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know

All in all, it's nature's poetry
Can't understand the way it flows
So I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know

No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
No, I don't wanna know
Cuz everything I know makes me feel so low
No, I don't wanna know

Always On Your Side lyrics - Sheryl Crow

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappear
Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I always feared
Leavin' you with only questions all these years

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side

Where Has All The Love Gone lyrics - Sheryl Crow

Today I saw the strangest thing on the evening news
A man who wasn't sad at all about what's going on
And even though I'm trying to smile
With everything I see it could take a while

[Chorus:]
I've been looking everywhere I go
Where has all the love, where has all the love gone?
I've been looking all around to know
Where has all the love, where has all the love gone?

Yesterday I heard you say you never close your eyes
Sometimes the world's a scary ride, it's hard to hang on
Along the way we got off track
And if we turn around can we ever get back?

[Chorus]

You say it was there when we were young
Today I saw a flag roll by on a wooden box
And if it's true we lost our way
Then what have we got?

[Chorus 2x]

Today I saw the strangest thing

Live It Up lyrics - Sheryl Crow

You get high-jacked, waiting at the bus stop
By Jesus, who's working at the pawn shop
Escaped by, barely in the picture
But never far from the lens
You'd never risk it, inherently self-conscious
So twisted, resting on your haunches
So mystic, paintin' in a poncho
You better get ready
Everybody's out to have a good time

Live it up, like there's no time left
Just like there's no tomorrow
Live it up, like there's no time left
And there's no time to kill
Live it up, like there's no time left
And no time left to borrow
Why don't you try to get it right this time
Get it right this time

You get worked up, jammed and overloaded
Your time's up, before you even know it
But you can't stop, working on the outcome
You're hawking your latest sins
Put on your backpack, take a trip to nowhere
You're sidetracked, on your way to somewhere
You wind up right back where you started
You better get ready
Everybody's out to have a good time

Live it up, like there's no time left
Just like there's no tomorrow
Live it up, like there's no time left
And there's no time to kill
Live it up, like there's no time left
And no time left to borrow
Why don't we try to get it right this time
This time

No reason to worry, even if it isn't goin' our way
Forget about tomorrow, because all we really have is today

Live it up, like there's no time left
Just like there's no tomorrow
Live it up, like there's no time left
And there's no time to kill
Live it up, like there's no time left
And no time left to borrow
Why don't we try to get it right
Why don't we try to get it right
Why don't we try to get it right this time
Get it right this time
Get it right this time
All right
