2020 Broken Souls — Song Lyrics

1 — Love Light

Broken souls in front of you
Tell me Darling now what you gonna do
Tears were falling in this pouring rain now
I know your gonna steal my love again
Turn on your love light, oh Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, oh Baby let it shine, let it shine

In this dark slumber I recalled
Was I a slave to you or nothing at all
Uptown, downtown maybe 12^th and Vine
I know I’m gonna love you one more time
Turn on your love light, oh Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, oh Baby let it shine, let it shine
Baby let it shine now

My mind withdrew from everything now
But you gave me reason to believe
You were the one that held my heart Baby
You are my angel in the dark
Turn on your love light, oh and Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, oh and Baby let it shine, let it shine
Baby let it shine now, love light, oh Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, oh Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, Baby let it shine, let it shine
Baby let it shine now
Your love light, Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, oh and Baby let it shine
Turn on your love light, oh and Baby let it shine, let it shine
Baby let it shine now

2 — Pale Highway

Something’s calling, calling me
The bell is a ringing so very loud
This tolling bell, what does it mean now
It ain’t redemption, no no no, and it ain’t no dream
Pale Highway is calling me again, oh yeah
As I walk on this path of sinners
In a tunnel that’s got no light
Live each moment like there’s no time
Like there’s no time left for me
Pale Highway is calling me again, oh yeah
I keep running for my life
Keep running for my life
Whatever forever means
I keep running for my life
Wake me up now from this dream
And end this strife
There are two, two voices calling
After midnight in my mind
On the left it says keep on moving
On the right, give up your vow
I keep running for my life
I keep running for my life
Pale Highway is calling me again
Pale Highway you know is calling me again
Pale Highway is calling me again
There are two, two voices calling
After midnight, in my mind

3 — Just Ain't Me

Oh, yeah, ahhh, here it comes
I just what to say to you
Tell you that it just ain’t me
I want to tell you that it just ain’t me
Here we go again
Oh and you gotta decide
What’s wrong with this picture here?
Tell you that it just ain’t me
I want to tell you that it just ain’t me
All or nothing, Baby
I ain’t gonna sign on the line
I want to know doesn’t anyone see
Tell you that it just ain’t me
I want to tell you that it just ain’t me
All your heart and soul
That you left behind
And when you say you can’t find me
You’re living in the past, it’s not me anymore
It’s just like you, oh yeah
It’s just like me
It’s just like you when I say forget about the past
It’s not me anymore
Oh, yeah
I want to tell you now
I want to tell you, tell you that it just ain’t me
I want to tell you that it just ain’t me
Round and round we go, why can’t you understand?
Take that picture off the shelf
Tell you that it just ain’t me
I want to tell you that it just ain’t me
All your heart and soul, that you left behind
And when you say you can’t find me
You’re living in the past, it’s not me anymore
It’s just like you, oh yeah, it’s just like me
It’s just like you when I say forget about the past
It’s not me anymore
It’s just like you, oh Darling, it’s just like me, yeah
It’s just like you when I say forget about the past
It’s not me anymore

4 — Station Man

Pulling back the curtain seeing what I find
The end of the beginning he ain’t satisfied
Ninety tons of trouble got a monkey on his back
A real strong conviction that he ain’t coming back
Because he’s gone yes he’s gone
He’s gone yes he’s gone, alright

This man was on overload
Right down there in his soul
9:45 we were walking in the rain
Beginning of the end I didn’t see his pain
Now he’s gone yes he’s gone
He’s gone yes he’s gone
Station Man where in the world are you
Station Man tell me what can I do, oh what can I do

Standing on the platform burning it down
We kept saying that were leaving this town
Fifty-eight Chevy yeah feeling the pulse
There was no other choice for us
Now he’s gone yes he’s gone
He’s gone yes he’s gone
Station Man where in the world are you
Station Man tell me what can I do?
Oh what can I do

5 — Desire Street

Don’t know what I was thinking
Is this all in my mind
Always knew you would be so hard to find now
Cause you’re the rambling kind, oh yeah
Desire Street that’s where I found you
And it’s alright with me
And your loss was all around me
And that’s what on my mind, oh yeah

Never feeling sorry that I met you
Or feeling that I would regret you
I’ve waited for so long
And now you’re gone

Don’t know what I was thinking
Is this all in my mind
Disaster Baby ain’t too hard to find
When you get lonely sometime, oh yeah
Desire Street that’s where I found you
And it’s alright with me
Oh the nighttime, oh the right time
Because you know what’s on my mind
Oh yeah. oh yeah

Never feeling sorry that I met you
Or feeling that I would regret you
I’ve waited for so long
And now you’re gone

I don’t know what I was thinking
You’re always on my mind
I don’t know what I was thinking
You’re always on my mind

6 — Same All Over

Oh this man he sold his soul
All for the love that a fool would know
Now all he wants is fame
Became so corrupt oh he went insane
Show me something I don’t know
Show me something I ain’t seen
Over and over again
Over and over again
It’s the same all over
Oh it’s the same all over
She said she needs success
Telling me how she can’t wait
All in all it’s what you see
Will change the game be your misery?
Show me something I don’t know
Show me something I ain’t seen
Over and over again
Over and over again
All around me
Oh just what I see
A feeble kind of mentality of conformity
Oh, we got to change it
It’s the same all over
Oh it’s the same all over
Johnny boy’s saying now he’s the one
Talking about all the things he’s done
Stupidity talks you all will listen
Ignore the facts of what you’re missing
Show me something I don’t know
Show me something I ain’t seen
Over and over again
Over and over again
It’s the same all over
It’s the same all over
It’s the same all over
Everywhere you go
It’s the same all over
Everywhere you go

7 — Like Fire

Oh when you told me this could be the end
You’d be lost forever in your silent bed
The break of day is coming soon
Washing away the sorrow you knew
Oh, the sorrow you knew
Sometimes I think about Bobby
And sometimes I think about you
The struggle that you went through
And the times we all knew
I can’t change a thing no matter how I try
Hold the ones crying out to me tonight
Oh just hold them now, oh just hold them now

Once my heart was captured
Then it was destroyed
But it opened up the doors now
Showing me the void
The break of day is coming soon
Washing away the sorrow you knew
The sorrow you knew, oh the sorry you knew
It burns me like a fire
Oh it burns me like a fire
You know it burns me like a fire
Oh it burns me like a fire
Come on take me higher
Come on and take me higher
Come on take me higher
Come on take me higher
Come on take me higher
Come on take me higher
Come on take me higher

8 — Win Or Lose

My heart beats louder than a big bass drum
My eyes are full of pain and it’s so wrong
But every time you tell me you’re gonna lose
Then I know I win again
Oh, Baby now I win again
Knocking so loud on your door
My soul satisfaction will show you more
Every time you tell me oh you’re gonna lose
Then I know I win again
Oh Baby now I win again
Oh this ain’t no quitting time
Oh ain’t quitting time
Tired of this rough and tumble
All you want to see me stumble down
Stumble down

Life is like a hammer it’s for sure
Staying in the moment might be your cure
Every time you tell me oh you gonna lose
Then I know I win again
Oh Baby now I win again
Oh Baby now I win again
Oh this ain’t no quitting time
Oh ain’t quitting time
Oh Baby now I win again
Oh Baby now I win again
Win or lose I gave you everything
Win or lose Baby I gave you everything

9 — Mr. Boston

Goodbye Mr. Boston now I hate to see you go
You took me up but you brought me down
You got me back in the show
Fire burns inside of me
It feels like two centuries
Then you showed me all the mystery
All the things I couldn’t see
All the things that I couldn’t see

You asked me how I got so low
Maybe I got too high
There was so much heartbreak then
And the light never shined
Fire burns inside of me
It feels like two centuries
Then you showed me all your mystery
All the things I couldn’t see
All the things that I couldn’t see
Glad you came
I’m so sad you’re gone
Oh yes I was glad you came
I’m so sad you’re gone
I’m so sad you’re gone

Fred Mc Dowell came to town
I knew there would be no messing round
He said I don’t play no rock and roll
Touched me right down to my soul
Fire burns inside of me
It feels like two centuries
Then it showed me all the mystery
All the things that I couldn’t see
All the things that I couldn’t see
It was the things that I couldn’t see
Glad you came
I’m so sad you’re gone
Oh, yes, I was glad you came
I’m so sad you’re gone
I’m so sad you’re gone
I hate to see you go

10 — Closing Time

Tell me all of your secrets
All the ones your eyes can hide
Give them to me now
Give them to me now, Baby

What you hide from yourself
You can’t hide from your soul
Oh Baby let’s take a peak now inside
Give them to me now
Give them to me now Baby
I was standing on the outside
And your silence said it all
So I sit here and wonder so hard
What’s going on my Darling, in your mind and in your heart?
Baby I don’t know
Oh Baby I don’t know
Oh I feel I’m getting stronger now
I know I can’t hold out much longer now
Oh it must be closing time

We all face some hardship
Kept silent to be known
Your charm would be broken now if revealed
So I sit and wonder so hard
What’s going on my darling in your mind and in your heart?
Oh Baby I don’t know
Oh Baby I don’t know
Oh I feel it’s getting stronger now
I don’t think I can’t hold out much longer now
Oh It must be closing time
Oh it must be closing time now
