Dad's Song 

Dad’s Song 
Music and Lyrics by Tom Butler 

Driving, hear my father's voice 
callin' from the side seat sayin' slow 
better cool your engines pal 
or you're gonna drive us off the road 

from Cascade Lake to Madison Park 
i was the match and you were the spark for me 
left home at just 19 and  
Mamma left after me 

and with Mumford on the radio 
it takes me back to our longest road 
thanks for your hands and the love they've shown 
they've always shown 
they've always shown 
shown me love 

from docking bays to boy-to-boy days 
sock wars up the spiral staircase, no 
when I fell down hard  
you got me up and set me on the road 

you always tried to teach me to work  
but all i remember is being a jerk to you 
well i'm sorry for the wrinkles on your head 
Sorry for the pain I caused you 

and with Mumford on the radio 
it takes me back to our longest road 
thanks for your hands and the love they've shown 
they've always shown 
they've always shown 

I hear a whisper 
calling in the dark 
brothers and sisters 
this is all we are 

i want my childrens' hands to feel 
those big hands that help me sit still  
and listen to papa's stories i know they will 
i know they will 

and with weezer on the radio 
14 showing you the first songs I wrote 
thanks for not laughing or making jokes 
I love you so , I love you so  
I love you so

Malea 

MALEA 
Music by Stu McNeill, Paul Gordon White, Tom Butler 
Lyrics by Tom Butler 

When she smiles my heart leaps from my chest 
it takes right off into the evening air 
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  

She caught my eye dancing by the seaside 
Talked for hours, kiss on the cheek goodnight 
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  

Whoa oh ooh ooh  
Whoa oh oooooh ooh 
I think I'm coming for 
I think I'm coming for 

Whoa oh ooh ooh  
Whoa oh oooooh ooh 
I think I'm coming for 

Ma Malea 
Ma ma Malea 
Ma Malea 
I think I'm coming for 

She drives me wild and crazy at the same time 
But I can’t wait to see her again tonight 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
My friends tell me I don't stand a chance 
I'll prove them wrong with every single laugh 
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh  

Whoa oh ooh ooh  
Whoa oh oooooh ooh 
I think I'm coming for 
I think I'm coming for 

Whoa oh ooh ooh  
Whoa oh oooooh ooh 
I think I'm coming for 

Ma Malea 
Ma ma Malea 
Ma Malea 
I think I'm coming for 

Ma - Malea 
Ma ma Malea 
I think I'm coming for 
I think I'm coming for 

Every girl in the world wants to be her 
And every boy wants to meet her 
And I call her my own 

Ma Malea 
Ma ma Malea 
Ma Malea 
I think I'm coming for

Highway 

Highway
Music by Gavin Fitzpatrick, Paul Gordon White, and Tom butler
Lyrics by Tom Butler

 

Volkswagon Bus rolling down the road 
Rock and roll dream never growing old 
I never wanna stagnate 
I gotta find my own way home 
You're never gonna know if you never go 
So go!

I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way  
We're always on the run 
I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way (yeah!) 
We're always on the run, run 
We're always on the run 

I work a 9 to 5 and it kills my soul 
I don't wanna die with nothing to show 
I never wanna stagnate 
I gotta find my own way home 
You're never gonna know if you never go 

I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way  
We're always on the run 
I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way (yeah!) 
We're always on the run, run 
We're always on the run 

And I don't believe you.  
You led me blindly in the dark. 
I don't trust you. 
I'm letting go to defend my heart. 

I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way  
We're always on the run 

I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way  
We're always on the run 
I'll be on the highway 
Slowly making my way (yeah!) 
We're always on the run, run 
We're always on the run

We were meant for freedom
The light told me so
The darkness ain't our brother 
But he's knockin' at the door
We were meant for freedom 
And we will survive
The opposition's growing
And alone we decide

We were meant for freedom
The light told me so
The darkness ain't our brother 
But he's knockin' at the door
We were meant for freedom 
And we will survive
The opposition's growing
And alone we decide

We've got to plant our feet
We've got hold our ground
We've got to take them on 
Can't let eachother down.

So let's go 
We're going down like a storm 
Everything we've worked for 
Everything we own
Is on the line

We were meant for justice
That's what the records say
Our simple minds grow tired
Of walkin' the wrong way (yeah)
We were meant for justice 
But these burning towns won't hold
The opposition's growing
And the air is getting cold

Pull up your dress 
To walk through the mud
Knock on the glass
For a midnight touch
Stay for the night
Just to wake up

And turn the lights off
Voices low and take me in your arms right now

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone

I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone

Open your eyes
It's 3:24
You're not surprised
I slept on the floor
I move aside
You bring the blankets down, down

And there's no where going but up now
No way we're going anywhere but up now

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone

I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone

Hand in hand 
And side by side
You're not on your own 
Hand in hand 
And side by side
Don't let me go 

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone

I've been living uh
I've been living alone
Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
I've been living uh
I've been living alone

Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone
(Cause) I've been living uh
I've been living alone
(So) Don't you leave me uh
Don't you leave me alone, no

Before the Fall 

Before the Fall

There's a hill that I found on a SaturdayIn the middle of the city but its man made
And on the top is a little blue house
Filled with the people I care about

There's a park next to a graveyard
A carpet filled hill that fireworks shoot off
And in my heart dot the memories
Of all the things people say to me

And if I could take all the bad 
I would give the good I have 
And if I could take all your pain
I would give up everything

With the white hills strong before you
There was something that was lost
I held the roses and the flowers
Before the fall 

With the white hills strong before you 
There was something that lost
There was so much more than comfort
Before the fall
There was so much more than comfort 
Before the fall

And I feel the rain on my face tonight
I love the way the ferry boats glide 
Across the waves of the Puget Sound
Once I was lost but now I'm found

Tilting trees in the moon the moonlight
I love the breeze passing by my side
You said goodbye when I didn't know
Now I'm left to let you go

Boats

Music and Lyrics by Tom Butler

I've got boats
I've got a whole fleet
And I've got the finest ships that sail in these seven seas
And we fish for fish
And we've caught liars
But we threw them back, 'cause we aim for something so much higher

Oh oh oh
How the waves got to me 
Well you snuck inside
You got me revived
And I asked you not to leave

Oh oh oh
My sea strong girl
I need someone to be my eyes
I need someone who can compromise
I need someone to be my life 
Won't you be my world?

I can cook 
But I can't read
And I've got more books on these ruddy shelves than I've got time you see
But I will work
I will work for you
And I'll give you everything I have 
and I promise to be true

Repeat chorus

I've got boats
I've got a whole fleet
And I know for certain you're the only person that I want next to me
And we fish for fish
And we fish for free
And I'm just glad that you're right here to keep me company

Repeat Chorus
Won't you be my world?
I said, won't you be my world
won't you be my world
won't you be my world
I said, won't you be my world

I fell down from the mountain
On all of my mistakes
I washed the blood from my hands
You washed blood from my face

Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?

I know I could've been should've been no
I know I could've been should've been no

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart
You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

Stand up dust off my jeans now
Look at the mess I've made
Start now to keep my commitments
Start now to take my place

Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?

I know I could've been should've been no
I know I could've been should've been no

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?
Why can't we just be better than we were yesterday?

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart

You said I know you've got 
I know you, you've got heart
