The Boy From Indiana

Whoever would have thought that the timeless icon of the screen,
The man who died in his prime,
Was just a boy from Indiana.

Raised on a farm who could have foreseen,
That the moody young man ahead of his time,
Was just a boy from Indiana.

The pin-up idol of every brooding teen,
His love of speed was his only crime,
Just a troubled boy from Indiana.

If I Had A Boat

If I had a boat,
I would roam from town to town,
Leave everything behind and sail away.

If I had a boat,
Nothing would ever get me down,
Because I wouldn’t have to stay.

If I had a boat,
I would my sorrows drown,
Under a blue sky or clouds of grey.

Why

Why is nothing I do ever good enough?
If I jump, it is not high enough,
If I run, it is not fast enough,
What is it that you want from me?

My life to you doesn’t mean a thing,
I asked for one little thing,
But I got nothing,
Don’t tell me you couldn’t be bothered.

I am not going to cry for you anymore,
Won’t make excuses for you no more,
Don’t want anything from you no more,
Just don’t expect anything from me.
