Richie Sambora Album

Made in America
Nineten fifteen nine
Born down by the factories
Cross the Jersey City line
Raised on radio
Just a jukebox kid
I was alright
Just a small town homeboy
With big time dreams
Foollowing his conscience
In a world full of extremes
Fresh outta high school
Only seventeen
I was alright
Blinded by my vision
There ws just no turning back
Lika a runaway train
Life was steaming down the track
You'd say I'd never make it out
But I kept on hanging on
Every night I prayed to Jesus
And held my head up strong
I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
My old man's independence
Seemed good enough for me
I was made in America
Made in America
Never cared much about politics
Til I was twenty one
But I woke up when Lennon
Found the wrong end of a gun
He left his inspiration
Before he said boodbye
And we were alright
We all lose out innocence
It's impossible to hold
I didn't know it then
I had a packet full of gold
When I kissed those younger days goodbye
It almost broke my heart
I was going to ghrough my growing pains
I was driving in the dark
But I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
I'm facing up to freedom
And chacing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America
Yeah we all lose our innocence
It's impossible to hold
I just didn't know it then
I had a packet full of gold
When they said I'd never make it
I just kept on hanging on
And every night I prayed to Jesus
And I held my head up strong
And I was alright
I landed on my feet
Made in America
I was brought up on the street
Facing up to who I am
Chasing down my dream
I was made in America
Yeah I was made in America

It's amazing
We go through changes
When times get crazy
It's up and down
It's hot and cold
These complications
Just keep on coming
There ain't no running
When it comes to life
That's how it goes

Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
We're on a roller coaster ride
Baby don't you know
It could eat you up
If you try to keep it all inside

Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hanging on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby

There's gonna be thunder
There's gonna be rain
There's gonna be those times
We both get caught up in the pain
The realization
Keeps sinking in
The way you make it
Is learn to take it on the chin

Round and round we go
It's just a another day
With trouble knocking at your door
Baby don't you know
We can work it out
'Cause we always seem to find a cure

Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hanging on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts you baby
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts you baby
Yeah, yeah-yeah

Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
We're on a roller coaster ride
But baby don't you know
We'll keep holding on
Through the changes that we feel inside

Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hanging on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way

There's a line that you cross,
When you find out that you're lost.
When your world is closing in,
And it crawls under your skin.

And the heart's always blind,
When it's in this state of mind.

There's a burning light in this town,
For every heart that's broken down tonight,
Here tonight.
You're stranded out there in the rain,
And you just can't see past the pain tonight.
You've fallen from graceland, Fallen from graceland.

When you're too proud to crawl,
It keeps your back against the wall.
You wanna die, but you live,
With nothing left to give.

And there's no place to hide,
When you're tangled up inside.

There's a burning light in this town,
For every heart that's broken down tonight.
Here tonight.
You're stranded out there in the rain,
But you just can't see past the pain tonight.
You've fallen from graceland.

And there's no place to hide,
When you're tangled up inside.

There's a burning light in this town,
For every heart that's broken down tonight.
Here tonight.
You're stranded out there in the rain,
But you just can't see past the pain tonight.
You've fallen from graceland.

Fallen, you've fallen from graceland tonight,
Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen from graceland.
And tonight.

There's a light, a bright light burning,
For every broken heart in this world tonight.
Deep inside.
Yes, there's one light burning,
That will lead you through the storm tonight.
It's gonna be alright, be alright,yeah,
Gonna be alright, yeah, it's gonna be alright.
(Oh it's gonna be alright, tonight)

Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen from graceland, (Fallen from graceland)
Tonight.

If God was a woman
with long blond hair
would you kneel at her altar
and offer her prayer
could she be your addiction
could she make you sin
If God was a woman
and you were her man
If God was a woman
would you be impressed
if she showed up in high heels
and a pretty red dress
would you make a donation
or would you draw the line
would you yield to temptation
or savor her wine
If God was a woman
she'd come like an angel
or a devil in disguise
when she left in the morning
would you lose your religion
or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman.
If God was a woman
tell me who could we blame
would she make Jesus righteous
or completely insane
If God was a woman
would she kiss and tell
would we wind up in heaven
or would we all burn in hell.
If God was a woman
she'd come like an angel
or a devil in disguise, oh yeah
and if she left in the morning
would you lose your religion
or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman
and you were her man, yeah
Solo
If God was a woman
would she come like an angel
or a devil in disguise, oh yeah
when she left in the morning
would you lose your religion
or kiss your faith goodbye, goodbye
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
We's all burn in hell
If God was a
woman, woman, woman, woman
If God was a woman
tell me who would we blame
If God was a woman
If God was a woman
she'd drive us insane, yeah

When I look at you
I realise
there comes a time in someone's life
when you find things that matter
and every time we touch
the love runs deep
we realize it's our to keep
and that's all that really matters.
You'll always be my sweet addiction
in this life my saving grace
Girl you're all that really matters
you know it's true
ain't no me without you.
When you're in the dark
baby don't despair
I'm just a spark away
I will be there
and that's all that matters.
You'll always be my sweet addiction
in this life my saving grace
Girl you're all that really matters
you know it's true
ain't no me without you.
We'll share our lives together
yes our flame burns on forever
and at the final curtain call
we can say we did it all.
Solo
You'll always be my sweet addiction
in this life my saving grace
Girl you're all that really matters
you know it's true
ain't no me without you.
And when we turns to dust
and we fly away
there'll be a light still burning bright
and that's all that really matters

You can be a million miles away
I will always love you
you can be a thousand throughts away
I'll be thinking of you
No matter where you try to hide
your always gonna find me
right where I belong
been here beside you all along
like some ancient star
forever we'll remain.
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in the end you'll always know
you're not alone.
You can change your face to someone else
still I won't forget you
when you're feeling lost inside yourself
I will come and get you
Now you know the saviour you can find
is something you believe in
deep inside your heart
you might believe in me
Like some ancient star
forever we'll remain
Even if our love would ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in your life you'll always know.
I know you got your fears and doubts
they're weighing on your mind
but something's gonna save you
you're gonna see the truth inside
I'll be right beside you
when your world tears apart
on your book like a shadow
no matter where you are
Like some ancient star
forever we'll remain
Even if the sky should ever fall from grace
if I die or fade away
in the end you'll always know
you're not alone
you're not alone.

Life is a road
Forever winding
Where it leads us, I dont know

In it together
For better or worse
Searching for a pot of gold

Time, leaves a trail of broken hearts
So many arrows just keep missing their mark
Baby that ain't us

Nothing else matters when you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
We can reach any rainbow, you're dreamin of
Nothing else matters at all, when you're in it for love baby

Sharin' the laughter
Sharin' the tears
And the promises we keep

Life can be crazy
Love can be cruel
But its always been a two-way street

You try, and give it all you have to give
So many people don't know how to forgive
Baby that ain't us

Nothing else matters when you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
We can reach any rainbow you're dreamin of
Nothing else matters at all, when your in it for love baby

guitar solo

You try and give it all you have to give
So many people don't know how to forgive
Baby that ain't us

no...

Nothing else matters when you're in it for love
Together we can only go higher
We can reach any rainbow you're dreamin of
Nothing else matters at all
When you're in it for love babe

When you're in it for love baby

In it for love...

When you're in it for love
When you're in it for love
When you're in it for love
In it for love...

Hey, what's this feeling
I've never been down this far before
I was scared of believing
that love would never find my door
I was chained
Chained
Chained to my broken dreams
I never knew I was supposed to be
waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me.
Hey am I dreaming?
I never woke up from night before
unaware I was bleeding
slowly dying like the sun
going down once more.
I was chained
Chained
Chained to my broken dreams
I never knew just where my life would lead
hoping that someone would come and rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me.
Alone in the darkness
'til saw the light
shining from your eyes
now it burns inside and it keeps me alive
Lord I've been chained
I've been chained, yeah.
Was chained
Chained
Chained to these broken dreams
I never knew who supposed to be
hoping that someone would come and rescue me
I've been chained
Chained
I've been chained to these broken dreams
I never knew just where my life would lead
waiting for you to come and rescue me
hoping that someone would come and
Rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me
ooh yeah
Rescue me

The old man down on the corner
Is drowning in his pain
I can see the sorrow in his eyes
His tears, they leave a stain
The streets have left him broken
He's in the final phase
It's been a long hard road
From his glory days
There's a tattoo of his sweetheart
Fading on his arm
He talks of painful tragedy
How he lost his lucky charm
His memory is clouded
From the thunder in this vein
He's vanishing, vanishing gone
In the Harlem rain
Chorus:
Harlem rain coming down
Another shattered soul
In the lost and found
One more night
On the street of pain
Getting washed away by the Harlem rain
On desperation avenue
The devil takes his toll
Where the pushers and the poverty
Slowly claim your soul
When you reached the realization
That you just can't break the chain, no
You're vanishing, vanishing gone
In the Harlem rain
Chorus
In your search for tender mercy
No one seemed to care
The faith that used to be your crutch
Is now your cross to bear
You lost yourself so long ago
You don't know who to blame
You're vanishing, vanishing gone
Vanishing, vanishing gone
Vanishing, vanishing gone
In the Harlem rain

Only child
lonely one
trying to act like his father's son
make him proud through he sometimes fails
locked up, living in a jail
Help me now
Help me now
God I feel misunderstood
Trust me now
Trust me now
Who I am is good.
Who I used to be ain't what I am
if you walked inside my shoes
then you would understand
Who I am - you wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
just who I am.
When I lost is when I learned
when the road took a crooked turn
wore tha face of I just don't care
that piece of me just disappeared
Help me now

Help me now
find some hope inside myself
Reaching down
finding out
who's hiding in this shell.
Who I used to be ain't what I am
if you walked inside my shoes
then you would understand
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
Who I am.
Somehow I got to find a mirror
to make the stranger clearer
all I wanna be is who I am.
Reaching down
finding out
I still feel misunderstood
Trust me now
Trust me now
Who I am is good.
Who I used to be ain't what I am
if you walked inside my shoes
then you would understand
Who I am - you wonder
Who I am - I wonder
Who I am
It's who I am.
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

There's a danger of getting so close to you.
There comes a time, when the walls fade away,
And when love turns to bitter blue,
Sometimes it feels like it's hard to stay.

Last night we went to bed angry,
We didn't mean what we said.
Seems we never get past forgiveness,
We try to hide, we never learn,
To swallow our pride.

On the downside of love,
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate.
On the downside of love,
When you're misunderstood, 'cause when it hurts you.
It hurts you so good.

Baby life has no guarantee,
Never knowing where love's gonna lead.
Even though you're a part of me,
We have to deal with our pain separately.

Sometimes we both feel like victims,
With no easy way out, no, no.
Somehow we stand by each other,
When we're desperate, and drowning in,
The shadows of doubt.

On the downside of love,
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate.
On the downside of love,
'Cause when it hurts you, it hurts you so good.

The times we share the tenderness,
Are the times that keep us alive.
You get in my face, you rough me up,
But baby you know,
Can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up,
And make me let go.
Make me let go oh no, no.

When you're on the downside of love,
Where the love turns to hate, we just can't relate.
On the downside of love,
When you're misunderstood, 'cause when it hurts you.
It hurts you so good.

Downside of love,
Love's just a long, long road baby.
Yes there's a down side of love,
Stand by my side baby.
When you're on the downside of love,
No, no, no.
Downside of love,
'Cause it's a long, long road baby.
Downside of love.

She was standing at the station
small town suitcase in her hand
there were dreams she found inside her
that no one cared to understand
she never talks about her childhood
so much past to leave behind
she's so scared to go
but still she says goodbye.
When you walk that road
you walk alone
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
when you only hope
is to find a home
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
in the great unknown.
Born and raised in poverty
daddy died when he was young
all the fears that raged inside him
his spirit need to overcome
each day he tears down the reflection
of who he used to be
and with a little luck
he'll rise eventually.
When you walk that road
when you walk alone
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
when you only hope
is to find a home
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
the great unknown.
Solo
In the search of our salvation
relentlessly we climb
just looking for a reason
in creation's grand design
if patience is a virtue
then let us humbly begin
we'll be here waiting
'til our ship comes sailing in.
When you walk that road
we walk alone
just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
when you only hope
is to find a home
you're just an undiscovered soul
in the great unknown
the great unknown
the great unknown
don't want to walk through life
and undiscovered soul.
Searching for the road
looking for a home
in the great unknown
don't want to walk through life
an undiscovered soul
searching for a home
looking for a road
in the great unknown
don't want to walk through life
an undiscovered soul
Patience, virtue, identify, soul.
