I know a girl that you might like She's the perfect little devil for you She's a tiny little girl with a pretty little face And the cutest little smile that'll brighten up your day But I think she's kind of weird I think she's kind of weird She said... I've been chasing clouds that look like faces of my friends You can call me crazy but you just don't understand So the tiny little girl with the pretty little face said "Come follow me to a really cool place." I said "Hey why not? Let's check it out. After all I'd like to see what you're all about." So she took me to a really cool place She took me to a really cool place. It was up on a hill... Or was it in a park We played Frisbee... Or did we I don't remember much about the day. In fact, I don't even remember that girl's name But the tiny little girl with the pretty little face that took me to the really really really cool place said I know a tune that you might like. It's the perfect little diddy for you. She sang I've been chasing clouds that look like faces of my friends You can call me crazy but you just don't understand I've been chasing clouds that look like faces of my friends You can call me crazy but you just don't understand

Erin And Me 02:25
You called me once and asked if I was coming home. Now that I think I did not recognize your tone. You called me twice and asked me what was up. All I could think to myself was, Yup! Erin and me, we were meant to be. Even if she had the wrong number. I'd really like to see your face. So let me know if you have a myspace. I'm waiting by my phone. When will you call again? Please don't tell me that you are out with other men. Next time you call I have a sweet surprise for you. It's in the form on this here punk tune. Erin and me, we were meant to be. Even if she had the wrong number. I'd really like to see your face. So let me know if you have a myspace. Where are you from Erin? What color is your hair? Tell me a little bit about you cause I think your voice is cute. Please call me again. Please call me again Please call me again because I think your voice is cute.

I used to take you to the beach all the time Because I know how the sun can make you smile We used to take the long way and we would laugh the whole way and blast the music that we both knew all the words to. Then by the end of the day We'd see that look in each other's face and you'd show me all the places that the sun doesn't see You'd show me your tanlines as we go into ecstasy. Alcohol and Mary-Jane will do their best to numb the pain but there's nothing in the world that can even come close to sitting with the Sunset on the beach Our friends are all trippin' 'bout the life that we are livin'. So let's start this out with just a little kissin'. Then when we get carried away We'd see that look in each other's face and you'd show me all the places that the sun doesn't see You'd show me your tanlines as we both take our ecstasy. Then by the end of the day We'd see that look in each other's face and you'd show me all the places that the sun doesn't see You'd show me your tanlines as we go into as we go into as we go into Then by the end of the day We'd see a look in each other's face and you told me we couldn't. I knew we couldn't. We couldn't cause you only exist in my dreams.

Why Not Try 03:04
Four girls in a year and I think I'm gonna stop counting on the reasons they keep staying Cause the seasons keep on changing. I think I'm sick of this. Let's move out to Hollywood. We'll start a band and get real good. Nobody thinks that we can but we'll show them. We said Why Not Try We could make a song that the world can't live without You never know what'll happen unless we try. Drinkin' 1-2-3 40's now it's getting warm. Don't break that seal. I've had it up to here. I said we're drinkin', smokin', poppin, tokin' weed. Oh no! What's tomorrow hold But the future's in our mind. And the drinks are in our hands Some say they might get sick of this Let's move out to Hollywood. We'll start a band and get real good. Nobody thinks that we can but we'll show them. We said Why Not Try We could make a song that the world can't live without You never know what'll happen unless we try. You see Hollywood isn't all that good. There's really bad food and smelly dudes. And everyone does the same thing that you do. You see once you move to hollywood that doesn't mean that you're real good unless an agent or a producer or someone like that tells you you are, then you realize that No one lives in Hollywood So... Let's move out to Beverly Hills. We'll write our songs about cheap thrills and the parties on the weekends with our best friends. We said Why Not Try We could make a song that the world can't live without You never know what'll happen unless we try.

I woke up last weekend next to a girl I've never seen. Do I be that guy who asks her name the next morning. Or be that jerk that pretends to know it all along. She asks if I have her number. I said you should put it in my phone. Cause that's how smooth I am. I'm Don Juan I'm Cool Joe with a great smile and I'm in a band. Cause I am a ladies man. I'm the quarterback with great cuticles. I am Your girlfriend's dream man Anything you want a girl to say, I can get the truth. I can flip her like a pancake and make her scream like Dr. Seuss. I know anything anyone's ever known about a chick. You should see how much they all enjoy eating my cooking. Cause that's how smooth I am. I'm Don Juan I'm Cool Joe with a great smile and I'm in a band. Cause I am a ladies man. I'm the quarterback with great cuticles. I am Your girlfriend's dream man You can't blame me if your girlfriend doesn't wear a ring. I swear that she came up to me. She even bought me a drink. I won't like I saw you two standing by the pinball machine. But I figured she was fair game as soon as she gave me a wink. You can't blame me if your girlfriend doesn't wear a ring. Maybe what you're looking for is something along the lines of a leash. You see, I don't have a problem getting many pretty girls to date me. But what I'm really great at is getting their boyfriends to hate me. Cause that's how smooth I am. I'm Don Juan I'm Cool Joe with a great smile and I'm in a band. Cause I am a ladies man. I'm the quarterback with great cuticles. I am Your girlfriend's dream man

Turn that bottle upside down again. Seems to be your favorite past-time. You can tell me what you like. But that doesn't make it true. Days turning into weeks (You're wasting your time) I don't remember how I got home last night. (You're wasting your time) Life gets boring with out a drink or (You're wasting your time) Too many nights I can't remember (Can't remember) When I'm alone I think about you too much. When I listen to the words in a song I always hear your name. What would I have said to you if I knew it was the last time. Probably the same thing. Probably the same thing. Weeks turning into months. (You're wasting your time) I don't remember when the last time we talked (You're wasting your time) Was this your idea of a goodbye? (You're wasting your time) Was this your idea of a goodbye? Months turning into years (You're wasting your time) I guess one more wouldn't hurt. I don't feel a (You're wasting your time) Things are about to change. (You're wasting your time) Yes, things are going to be different.

I met a man on a boxcar one day. He said, "The name's Jeremy, and welcome to the train." He had been there for more than ten years it would seem. Boy am I glad he was sitting next to me We rode that train for two decades or more Changing boxcars from time to time. We rode that train for two decades or more Always coming back for a laugh Jeremy had told me everything that he knew And he never said goodbye, but I know I know he meant to. He stepped down to the platform and didn't look back. As I looked up from the boxcar, I tipped my hat We rode that train for two decades or more Changing boxcars from time to time. We rode that train for two decades or more Always coming back for a laugh And I will ride this train until they holler, "Last Stop!" and hope to be in Jeremy's seat until the end And I will ride this train, but when they holler, "Last Stop!" I hope that some young lad will tip his hat to me. I hope that some young lad will tip his hat to me Just like I tipped my hat to brother Jeremy.
