Lyrics and Credits

You don’t make the rules
I am not your fool
Watch your tone when talking to me
In control
When the wind does blow
I’m steady as the willow tree
As the willow tree

But when you treat me this way
I don’t want to love you
And when you treat my this way
How could I respect you
But when you treat me this way
I don’t want to love you
Wanna love you

Oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh

Sometimes you go too far
Lose hold of my heart
That’s a dangerous place to be
You put me to the edge
Heights go to my head
You make it harder and harder to breath

But when you treat me this way
I don’t want to love you
And when you treat my this way
How could I respect you
But when you treat me this way
I don’t want to love you
Love you

Whoa oh oh oh oh

I’ve got the wind on my back
Sun on my shoulders
Don’t need no more map
To get where I’m going

To get where I’m going
Got to get lost somehow
Lost somehow
To know how it’s flowing
You’ve got to ride it out
Ride it out

In between fear and the violence
Down below tears of the blinded
Just above the speed of a heart beat
This is where you’ll find me

Just before the house of the stoic
In between what is real and where the poet live
The street where I ran as a young boy
The place where I learned how thick my blood was

This is where you’ll find me
Where you’ll find me

Surrounded by beats and the energy
The center of the words and the melody
The rise forever on the sun's edge
Where the questions and the brave of the heart live

In between what I’m told and what I know
A mixture of some gold with a healthy soul
You never run, just fight love and see it through
But you’ve got to know when to cut the love loose

This is where you’ll find me
Where you’ll find me

Are you looking for me

Could you stop arresting Johnny
No more soap dice stories
Blue lights come flashing in
Sirens come roaring

He’s caught up in a rat race
Hoping he can catch a break
And the money stacking it stacking it up
The pressure building up, that’s enough

Stop arresting Johnny
Stop arresting my friend

I got a message on my cell phone
It woke me up two in the morning
It said they found me and they picked me up
Could you help me dude I’m feeling stuck

Just more money that he’s got to spend
A deeper hole he’s falling in
But he never lets it get him down
No we’d never let a brother drown

Stop arresting Johnny
Stop arresting my friend

He never did nothing wrong
Nah, nothing too bad
He never did nothing wrong

Stop arresting Johnny
Stop arresting my friend

Freedom
Talking about your freedom

I could always get it
In the city with the women
Cause I'm screaming and I'm swimming
I'm a shark in the water
Never had a worry
Cause the world was always spinning
And the colors always blending
Painting pictures without profit
Mama always told me
If you want it go and get it
Always look for something different
Never settle for the normal
Never live for wages
Because birds weren't meant for cages
When your given to the calling
Open up and scream it out
You need your

Freedom, talking about your freedom

I could never stop it
Started dreaming never lost it
Got a fever and I love it
I've been feeling California
Sleeping in the morning
I was dreaming in a moment
I was living in the storm and
I was screaming like the thunder
Never gonna stop I keep with the flow
Never gonna pop I rock and then roll
Always keep it hot like wood to a stove
Give it like a shot ready set explode
Steady on the drop bring it back give me more
Gonna pick it up pick it up let's go
Gonna get the cat in the jam at the show
Never gonna move I'm grooving steady with the

Freedom, talking about your freedom

Sunshine
Love is like sunshine
I feel it on my skin
Sinking deeper In
A little bit of sunshine
Love is like sunshine
I feel it on my heart
Felt it from the start

When I wake up in the morning with the sound of the birds
I’ve got a smile on my face
When I put on my shirt
I smile all day
Know what I’ve got
Do you know what I’m saying
Summertime blowing out of my brain
And I got the top rolled back
With the breeze in my face
Catching rays all day

The way that you make me feel is like a little

Sunshine
Love is like sunshine
I feel it on my skin
Sinking deeper In
A little bit of sunshine
Love is like sunshine
I feel it on my heart
Felt it from the start

Hold up
Stand up
People put your hands up
Reaching to catch the feel
Bodies tingling with the feeling
It’s easy
Don’t even got to try it
All of it, now your in the vibe
Singing the song
Nothing is wrong
Feeling the beat with the bass in your feet
And I mixed it in and I mixed it in
And I mixed it with the reggae
Then you know
Whah whah you know

A little bit of sunshine
Love is like sunshine
I feel it on my skin
Sinking deeper In
A little bit of Sunshine
Love is like sunshine
I feel it on my heart
Felt it from the start

Daisies in your hair
Sunlight on our skin
Sand between the sheets
Listen to you breathe
Listen to my heart beat
Heart beat

Day turns into night
I rock it steady baby fly
Hit the party or kick it at home
Don’t really matter cause we keep it in the zone

Rude girl (rude)
Come kick it with me
Everything you want
Everything you need
Everything you are

You’re just rude girl (rude)
Come kick it with me
Everything you want
Everything you need
Everything you are
Can all be

Butterflies got stuck inside my belly
Tried booze just to make myself steady
It didn’t help me and now I’ve got to fall
Deeper and deeper every time you call
Here we are and it’s here I want to stay
In the sun even though I’m in the rain
Summer, I never let it fade
Never let it fade

You’re just rude girl (rude)
Come kick it with me
Everything you want
Everything you need
Everything you are

You’re just rude girl (rude)
Come kick it with me
Everything you want
Everything you need
Everything you are
Can all be

She gimme the good love
Good for my health
Type of woman that would never give it to nobody else
She gimme the good love
And when I’m on the road
Don’t you know I’m thinking bout you
No I cannot wait to get home
I cannot wait to get home

She gimme the good love
Don’t need nothing else
Sink into a feeling something like the water moves to a well
She gimme the good love
And when I’m all alone
No need to worry baby
Your the one I need and I want
The one I need and I want

Oh baby I’ve been thinking about you woman
Everything that you say and do, I love it
Don’t worry that I’d be untrue I wouldn’t, I couldn’t
Whoa no, I know what I’ve got, good lovin’
Love it like a drug, a drug that I wanted I’m buzzin
Don’t worry that I’d be untrue I wouldn’t, I couldn’t

You feel like coming home

Feel like coming home from the dusty road
Type of woman that would lay me down right now fill up my soul
You are that fire to my frozen bones
I’ve got desires and I know that it shows

Every time I come home off this dusty road
She said she’s loves it how I rock and I roll
Can’t believe it I’m always a rolling stone
She said she loves when we move fast and then slow

You feel like coming home

I’ve got 99 problems but my girl aint one
Cause all we’re doing is having some fun
Can’t believe it I’m always on the run
But I guess that distance only thickens our blood
And I guess that thickness only deepens our love
It’s never work no it’s just growing like a good love should
My lord
What I do
To deserve the sunshine
In darkness now I know I’ll always have the light

Feel like coming home
You feel like coming home

We’ve got food in our belly
And herbs in the kitchen
Drinking, come kick it with me
People in the pool
We have people coming over
Yes we’re gonna do it frequently

Positive vibration going
Reggae music feel it blowing through the breeze
Morning light gonna tell me when it’s over
Crimson spelling through the trees

Why ya ya why ya ya oh
And if you ever wanna come
You’ve got to be forever young
Why ya ya why ya ya oh
And if you cannot find your way
Mentality has grown astray
Why ya ya why ya ya oh
Sassy admin show their faces
Everybody gets to taste this
Why ya ya why ya ya oh
And you never want to leave

Until you have walked in my shoes
You would never know the reasons I choose
Melodies that free my mind
I hear them all the time

Saying it’s a love that is true
The only one that has ever stayed
I saw her when I was just a youth
I never have strayed

Oh people how they come and they go
In and out like waters to a tide
My lover she’s more like the sun
Ever burning in my mind

Because you always help me through

Your like a wave
Crashing to the shore
Taking all away but somehow bringing more
Like a breeze
That comes in the summer
Running around my mind because you always make me wonder
Like a sound
That comes from afar
You’re never found
Leave me wanting more
Like a melody
That comes to me in the night

Because you always help me through

When I’m feeling so low
I know where I can go
When I’m feeling so low

Because you always help me through

Do not worry my love
Although unpredictable life is beautiful
You know it to be true
Yeah yeah I’m gonna miss you

Life is nothing but paths unchosen
Can’t choose til you get to the choices
I hope that I choose correctly
Hope that you won’t forget me

All we can do
I’ll see you in Thailand
All we can do
Wine in northern California
All we can do
Love slow and long
All we can do
Feel this even when we’re gone


Promise nobody’s gonna tame you
Girl you were built for running
If this is goodbye then
Who can blame you
My love you’re simply stunning

You’ll be famous without doing nothing
We can wear our hats real low
Drink coffee like we were hiding
Lean in and kiss me slow

All we can do
I’ll see you in Thailand
All we can do
Wine in northern California
All we can do
Love slow and long
All we can do
Feel this even when we’re gone
