I can't remember the days of my youth,
No I can't remember a thing
I must have been brought here from far far away
Because nothing reminds me of home
What Planet am I from, It's far away I fear
What Planet am I from, cuz I know I'm not from here
Aliens landed a long time ago, they needed to unload some freight
I'm looking for answers way up in the sky
I know they'll come back, they're just late.
What Planet am I from? It's far away I fear
What Planet am I from, cuz I know I'm not from here
I know they think of me, whenever they can,
I know they miss me a lot.
They try to get back here, but keep getting lost
The truth is I bet they forgot.
What Planet am I from, It's far away I fear
What Planet am I from, cuz I know I'm not from here

High Speed
I’m sitting here sipping a coffee,trying to plan my day
Every time I make a plan life gets in the way
I want my life to be less frantic It’s run run run run run
Now my first priority is to slow down and have more fun
Everything is High Speed
I think I need a plan to unwind
No time for Lunch, Time crunch
Man, I’m falling behind
I’m gonna live my life to the fullest, do everything on my list
'cause I don’t want to look back and regret the things I missed
I want to hang out with my friends more, at the local bar
I want to spend more time laughing and playing my guitar
The world is spinning out of control everything is moving too fast
I’m gonna live each moment as if it could be my last
Everything is High Speed I think I need a plan to unwind
No time for lunch, time crunch
Man, I’m falling behind

I could've been a brain surgeon,
Ya I could've been the best,
I could've been a big movie star
If I'd only moved out west
I could've been a country singer
if my feet were Nashville-bound
I'm just waiting for my chance
But it hasn't come around
If this barstool had wheels
I wouldn't waste my weekends here
I'd be out there living life,
Instead of in here drinking beer
They say miracles happen
there's still a chance I'll strike it rich
that's when I'll stop complaining
My life's one big glitch
I'll spend my weekends in Paris
I'll fly to Maui twice a year
If I only won the lottery
I'd have no reason to be here
If this barstool had wheels
I wouldn't waste my weekends here
I'd be out there living life,
Instead of in here drinking beer
I'd keep searching for that promised land
I'd leave no stone unturned
Every time I step outside
It seems I just get burned
I'm a master of procrastination
my therapist calls it fear
I told her my new years resolution
was to work on it next year
staring at the big-screen tv
watching my life pass me by
I find it hard to get excited
I guess I've lost the will to try
If this barstool had wheels
I wouldn't waste my weekends here
I'd be out there living life,
Instead of in here drinking beer

In The Doghouse

I'm an ordinary guy, I don't think I'm a jerk
I go out with the boys for a drink after work
I don't know for sure, I don't think that's a crime
when I get home I know, I'll do some time
I'm in the doghouse, there's a pounding in my head
though this couch is comfy, I still miss my bed
I know I'm in trouble when there's a note on the door
and my pillow and blanket are on the front hall floor
Over and over, I keep asking myself why
I didn't do nothing different, than any other guy
I'm in the doghouse, there's a pounding in my head
though this couch is comfy, I still miss my bed
There's something wrong with this picture
It's not just in my head
I'm sleeping on the couch, my dog and wife
are in my bed
I'm in the doghouse, there's a pounding in my head
though this couch is comfy, I still miss my bed

Road Rage

When I get behind the wheel it's as if I'm in a race
I gotta get there first or I feel as if I'm losing face
I may be a little crazy, I know I'm not insane
get me on the highway, and I'll take the fast lane
It's not that I'm possessive, I know I own the road
I'm not naturally aggressive, it's just my driving mode
I try to keep my distance but my distance is three feet
My rule is get out of my way, if you can't stand the heat
Road Rage, road rage
I always have an appointment, for which I can't be late
I know I'll get there faster, it I tailgate
I change lanes on a whim, it helps me stay awake
I never use my flashers, and what's the use of brakes
Road Rage, road rage
Something from my childhood, must have left a scar
I'm not an angry person, except when I drive my car
Could be I need some guidance, on how to handle stress
because according to my daughter, my driving is a mess
Road rage, road rage

I always knew that you wanted
a son who could fill your shoes
It's my life at stake here
and that's far too much to lose
Take a moment please listen
We need to talk man to man
you know I look up to you
I'm your biggest fan
In your footsteps, I lose myself
I can't put my dreams up on the shelf
In your footsteps I wouldn't be true
I'm in your footsteps, but I'm not you
You've always gone against the grain
We don't see eye to eye
I know we often disagree
and I think that I know why
take a moment please listen
we need to talk man to man
I want you to know I believe in you
I'm your biggest fan
In my footsteps don't follow too close
Your happiness is what matters the most
Give it your all, and may your dreams come true
My life may not be the life for you
The little boy you raised
is now fully grown
I'm bound to make mistakes
let me make them on my own.
I remember every talk we had
all the stories that you told
those nights around the bonfire
you'd make when it got cold
I followed your footprints
at the beach in the sand
and they led me back to you
now I am a man
The little boy I raised
is now fully grown
your bound to make mistakes
I know you'll make it on your own
In your footsteps
I lose myself
I can't put my dreams up on the shelf
In your footsteps I wouldn't be true
I'm in your footsteps but I'm not you
Don't follow my footsteps
follow your heart
and remember boy
the journey's the best part
Give it your all and may your dreams come true
I only want the best for you.

I always keep two of everything just in case one fails
I got two cars and two tv's, I even got two lunch pails
My friends think that I'm crazy, with this fetish that I keep
Because I also have two wives, they think I'm in too deep
If two ain't faithful, go for three
Both my wives are cheating on me
I thought I was on top of things, I thought I covered my tracks
But one found out and told the other, now I've got to watch my back
They're both looking to get even, I'm running for my life
To me marriage is sacred, that's why I did it twice
If two ain't faithful,go for three
Both my wives are cheating on me
Now I'm left all alone, they both found someone else
They split everything I had between them
except the bills to the house
When I think about the times we had, I just sit back and sigh
because the one thing they don't know yet,
is they're both seeing the same guy
If two aint' faithful, go for three,
Both my wives are cheating on me

I sometimes think this great big planet
Isn't big enough for both of us
I'll see you walking I can't stand it
at the store or on the bus
I wish you were a thousand miles
One thousand miles away from me
I wouldn't climb the highest mountain
I wouldn't swim the deepest sea
One thousand blessings I could count them
If only you would let me be
I wish you were a thousand miles
One thousand miles away from me
I wouldn't write you long love letters
Or think about you in your tight red sweater
If only you would go away
One thousand miles I'd be okay
I wish you were a thousand miles
One thousand miles away from me
I sometimes think this great big planet
Isn't big enough for both of us

I sometimes get the feeling, I'm running out of time
I make a living, but I cant save a dime
My bank account is empty and my life is full of doubt
My days are spent on just one thing trying to figure my way out
I don't know where my money goes
but I know it gets there fast
Everytime I get my paycheque
I'm convinced I'll make it last
There must be a hole in my pocket
Or maybe a hold in my head
My wife's going to leave me
It's not just a threat
Cuz I'm in a whole lot of debt
Can't go to my pa for money, he says not now son I'm broke
I went to the bank to take out a loan, man that was a joke
My visa bill is over limit I guess I over spent
I need a financial wizard, just to help me pay my rent
I don't know where my money goes
but I know it gets there fast
Everytime I get my paycheque
I'm convinced I'll make it last
There must be a hole in my pocket
Or maybe a hold in my head
My wife's going to leave me
It's not just a threat
Cuz I'm in a whole lot of debt
I got car payments, a mortgage, my phone bill's overdue
I got more creditors than friends, and they all want to sue
I don't know where my money goes
but I know it gets there fast
Everytime I get my paycheque
I'm convinced I'll make it last
There must be a hole in my pocket
Or maybe a hold in my head
My wife's going to leave me
It's not just a threat
Cuz I'm in a whole lot of debt
