DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT'S CRAZY ©2001 John O'Brien Don't you think that it's crazy? Don't you think that it's crazy? Can you help me find my way I seem to be lost in a scary place Desperate people everywhere And a lot of people that just don't care Lot's of suits and fancy ties Lot's of mommies there to cry Daddy he's a voodoo doll Stick in those pins and make him crawl But you can't bust on out of here Calm your temper, calm your fear Go on for another day Cause you'll be back on Tuesday If we just talked and made our plans Got the kids and helped them understand But we just both got taken in In this place only lawyers win Justice man all dressed in black Decide your life with a stoke of his pen He gets everything that he does want You get nothing except for squat Can anybody help me see my way What's gone wrong in this lunacy Please, please lord oh won't you help I'm surrounded by trouble in this living hell What do you do if you come up for air What do you do if your kids don't care What a system, nothing right What a way to destroy lives I'm giving up, I'll go back home I'll give up my rights in the danger zone Love to see you Nick and Kate But it ain't gonna happen, that way Don't you think that it's crazy? Don't you think that it's crazy? The gamut they made you run You ain't nothing until it's done This is grand larceny Makes you want to string some trees See you sometime to say goodbye Ain't seeing you for a long, long time Nothing new to tell you about Makes me want to scream and shout Pay the man's bills, write the checks Pay the shill, it's her payback Take the car, highway robbery I got nothing as far as I can see She got robbed and I got taken Everybody got really, really shaken Who's gonna pay for this whole mess Cause no one won this contest Took my life, turned it upside down Made me look just like a clown Gonna get you back for all this pain Cause you won't get no more capital gains

Why did you do it, why did you do it to me? Why did you do it, why did you do it to me? I've done my cryin', now my eyes can see. I thought I knew you and we had the right style I thought I had you, we so damn wild But when I found out you went back to him I swore I'd never ever, ever see you again But you're so fine, you're makin' me lose my way But you're so fine, you're makin' me lose my way Oh Lord please help me, she's about to make my day I feel you strugglin', I feel you strugglin' along I feel you strugglin', I feel you strugglin' along But now I'm begging baby, oh please oh please come home OKLAHOMA COWBOY ©2000 John O'Brien I ain't never been to Texas before But now I'm winning money on my horse But I'm just a boy who won Riding at the local county fair And now I'm sitting here and wondering where Where you are Sweet Jesus, I'm in the rodeo And doing all the things I always dreamed I'd do But man they're big out here And I don't know if I can stand To keep on pushing week after week So I can win It's all a dream Cause I'm an Oklahoma cowboy And I made the rodeo It's all I ever wanted It's a dream come true But at night I think about you And I trip back over time And wonder if I had it wrong When I had to decide whether to go They all pay attention when I ride into the ring And Becky my old horse Has been the best since the Spring But now it's Fall And I don't even know what town I'm in And the memories of you stir deep inside And strum that chord again for your love CHORUS If I could do it over I think that I'd of stayed And shared with you the love I left When I decided to go away Could be the blues I don't know I can't seem to have it both ways Maybe I'll quit after the Fall and come home to stay If you're still there REASON I SURVIVE ©2000 John O'Brien Swaying softly in the full moon light Check to check and holding you so tight My heart feels so alive Island music singing in our ears Dancing knowing that for all these lovely years It's you I've held so dear You're the sun that warms my face in the night You're the reason I survive In the morning when I raise my head Your sight, your scent they make me so content A day that's heaven sent I kiss your cheek and you awake You look my way and reach for me and take The love that's our embrace You're the sun that warms my face in the night You're the reason I survive There's a reason why love like our comes along So we can be together for life and grasp the soulful depth Of our love Let's stay and dance until the rising sun I'll hold you tight and share with you the love That lives forever on When I look into your eyes And see the love we touch and say goodbye My feeling swirls inside
IT'S ME ©2000 John O'Brien Can't you see that it's me And I'm trying not to make a scene I'm trying to be What you want to see in me And it hurts, just to try, To be something I already am, But I can't seem to be Please forgive my awkward tendency To be loose and right and always just good company I'm trying to show you that I have got it in me to fight But I don't seem to know just how Oh Lord, look my way I feel the walls around me I can't even guess the time of day Lord I'm crying over you Overlook my foolish pride It's something that's making me lose my human side But I can say a million things to you But until it's me I'm nothing but a fool And I feel, so alone, grabbing bits and traces of love along the way
I WON'T GIVE IT UP ©2000 John O'Brien I have a secret, where I can hesitate And not need to know why Where I can think about, the things that matter most Under God's blazing sky I won't give it up That's what it's all about No I won't give it up You're playing in harms way Our precious moments saved for another day But still I think of you, what else can I do But then you push me away I won't give it up That's what it's all about No I won't give it up Dessert sun setting slowly Look at me it's getting awfully hard Harsh comfort it's keeping me alive Dessert sun early morning Here you are love is calling Harsh comfort, can our love survive Please come away with me, how else can it be You're who I need please be mine You're seeing both sides now The things he says and how How it's just a matter of time SO IN LOVE ©2000 John O'Brien Everybody's asking why, why our love is so true Everybody wants to know how I'm so in love with you I'd climb the tallest mountain, go to any extreme I've found the needle in life's haystack Thank God this is no dream, dream What can I do to make you happy, there's no limit to my schemes All I want is for you to love me, it's always been my dream There's no place I would not go to, to make you feel at home You're the reason that I exist, I'll protect you from life's storms I need you to be with me, I'll never take a chance Will you stay with me forever, join me in life's big dance I'll never disappoint you, or keep you from your dreams You will have just what you want I'm exactly what you see, what you see
STRANGE DAY IN MAY ©2000 John O'Brien I see a thousand flowers in your eyes Children playing there that never cry Everywhere I look I see a brand new day Gladness all around a, strange day in may Come with me we'll share beautiful things Knowing all the time that we, could have wings The sun is all around, the sky's aren't gray Come let's fly away a, strange day in May When the Spring is gone, there'll images lasting Of what we've said and what we've done There'll be shadows casting The fate of someone's soul, coming in the right day To be yours I've found a, strange day in may
