This House Is Not For Sale
(Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks, Billy Falcon)
These four walls have got a story to tell
The door is off the hinges there’s no wish in the well.
Outside the sky is coal black and the streets are on fire
The picture windows cracked
And there’s no where to run
I know I know ..
This house is not for sale
I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and the dream don’t fail
This house is not for sale.
Coming home,
I’m coming home
Drove a spike into the ground and I staked my claim
Standing on the dirt where they’ll dig my grave.
Now what built these walls is in my veins
No time for looking back, the wolf is at the door
This heart, this soul
This house is not for sale
I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and the dream don’t fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home,
I’m coming home
This house was built on trust
Thats what it is
And always was
No wrecking ball could knock it down
This house, was built on higher ground
[Guitar solo]
I set each stone and I hammered each nail
This house is not for sale
Where memories live and the dream don’t fail
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I’m coming home
Coming home
I’m coming home
This house is not for sale
Coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
This house is not for sale

Living With The Ghost
(Jon Bon Jovi)
Marry me to the blue sky
Bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
Meet me where they stop time
That's you to me on the shovel that's digging this grave
Till I can waltz on a moonbeam
Till I can find a way to turn all tears into wine
I'll hitch my ride to a daydream
Can't unkiss the lips that love is leaving behind
I ain't living with the ghost
No future living in the past
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't living with the ghost
How can I scream I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain't living with the ghost
I set my sails over wheat fields
Rode waves of amber let a new sun shine on my face
I dropped the sword put down my shield
I left your scars for the stars
Guiding my way
I traded hurting for healing
I must admit that I was reeling
Now I'm feeling just fine
Traded nightmares for dreaming
Go tell your shadows
That I got our alive...
I ain't living with the ghost
No future living in the past
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the tree I cut the rope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't living with the ghost
How can I scream I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain't living with the ghost
[Guitar solo]
Last night I had this dream...
I saw a man wash his feet
In the church holy water
He worked up to his knees
From his arms to his neck
Said I'm over my head
He was crying trying to get some relief
Lord, I'm just trying to get some relief
I had this dream
That man was me
I ain't living with the ghost
No future living in the past
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the tree I cut the rope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't living with the ghost
How can I scream I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
Now I ain't living with the ghost

Knockout
(Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks)
Everyday I wake up with my back against the wall
Anytime you get up someone wants to see you fall
If you're afraid to lose it all, you're never gonna win
I'll be giving you the finger
Sticking out my chin
Boom, boom, boom
Here comes the boom, boom, boom
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life
(Hey!)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down
Are you living in a nightmare
Are you living in a dream?
Do you stand for something
Will you fall for anything
It's easier to count me out but you can count me in
Cause I'm giving you the finger
Sticking out my chin
Boom, boom, boom
Here comes the boom, boom, boom
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life
(Hey!)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down, down, down
Down, down
Throwing down, down, down
Down, down
Did you really live your life
Or did it pass you by?
What's it take to tell yourself
You really were alive
Look me in the eye
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
Turning your lights out
I'm throwing down
Here comes the knockout
Until the last round
I'm throwing down
Go start a fire, go start a fight
No regrets, this is your life
(Hey!)
Here comes the knockout
My time is right now
I'm throwing down

Labor of Love
(Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks, Billy Falcon)
Smoke stack blowing, there's a fire in the sky
Fahrenheit rising up, higher than high
Pressure's building up, sparks are gonna fly
I know where this is going when I look into your eyes
I know where this is going when I look into your eyes
Sweet sweat's rolling down the middle of your spine
Bodies move together, perfect rhythm and time
Baby say my name, I'll write yours in the sky
Higher than a rocket in the fourth of July
Higher than a rocket in the fourth of July
It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive
Its a full time job, the work's never done
Twenty-four seven, it's a labor of love
Yeah, everything I got, it's all about us
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Only fools count treasure in silver and gold
I don't want for nothing that these hands can hold
If you need something done, put it on the list
And if I need some sugar, I'll get it from your lips
If I need some sugar, I'll get it from your lips
It's good, it's good, it's good to be alive
Its a full time job, the work's never done
Twenty-four seven, it's a labor of love
Yeah, everything I got, it's all about us
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Oh, the taste of your lips, every night, every day
I know every curve, but it's never the same
If love is a fire, I'll go down in those flames
I wanna die in your arms, hearing you say my name
I wanna die in your arms, hearing you say my name
I wanna die in your arms, hearing you say my name
Its a full time job, the work's never done
Twenty-four seven, it's a labor of love
Yeah, everything I got, it's all about us
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Its a full time job, the work's never done
Twenty-four seven, it's a labor of love
Give everything I've got, I can't get enough
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love
Baby this ain't working, it's a labor of love

Born Again Tomorrow
(Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks)
If you were born again tomorrow
(Born again tomorrow)
This ain't a test, no it's a warning
Ain't gonna say the sky is falling
You got to read between the lines
Stop waiting for a sign
Whose gonna live your life
Yeah you don't have to look back
To see where we are
The future's looking brighter
Than a hand full of stars
You got to hold on, hold on
Be strong
If you were born again tomorrow
Would you live your life like yesterday?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Don't have to end up where you started
Heaven loves the broken-hearted
You learn from your mistakes
Bones grow stronger where the break
Who says that scars don't fade
You don't have to look back
To see where we are
The future's looking brighter
Than a hand full of stars
You got to hold on
You got to be strong
If you were born again tomorrow
Would you live your life like yesterday?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Any other way
(Hey, hey, hey)
Any other way
(Hey)
[Guitar solo]
If you were born again tomorrow
Would you live your life like yesterday?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Would you relieve every moment?
Would you tear out any page?
If you were born again tomorrow
I wouldn't live my life any other way
Any other way
Born again tomorrow
(Wo-oh)
If you were born again tomorrow
(Wo-oh)
Born again tomorrow
(Wo-oh)
