Something In Your Mouth lyrics - Nickelback

Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her, she'd be gone before you hollered, come on

Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor, honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

Crafty little lip tricks
Tattoos on her left hip
She bending as you're spending
There's no end to it, so baby, come on
Dressed up like a princess
Betting that her skin smells better
Than the scent of every flower in the desert, come on

Dirty little lady with the pretty pink thong
Every sugar daddy hitting on her all night long
Doesn't care about the money, she could be with anybody
Ain't it funny how the honey wanted you all along

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor, honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your mouth

She loves the night scene bar queen
Living for the fun taking over every dance floor like she's the only one
In the spotlight all night dissing everyone
And trying to look so innocent while sucking on her thumb

(You're so much cooler) When you never pull it out
(So much cuter) With something in your mouth

(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor, honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake your ass around for everyone
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
(You naughty thing)
You're ripping up the dance floor, honey
(You naughty woman)
You shake that ass around for everyone
(You're such a mover)
I love the way you dance with anybody
(The way you swing)
And tease them all by sucking on your thumb
You're so much cooler when you never pull it out
'Cause you look so much cuter with something in your

Burn It To The Ground lyrics - Nickelback

Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh
That shit makes me bat shit crazy
We've got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out

We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh
Ooh

We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
Oh
We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced
We got it lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown

We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh
Ooh

Tickin' like a time bomb, drinkin' 'til the nights gone
Well, get your hands off of this glass, last call my ass
Well, no chain, no lock, and this train won't stop
We got no fear, no doubt, all in, balls out

We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
Ooh
We're going out tonight (Hey!)
To kick out every light (Hey!)
Take anything we want (Hey!)
Drink everything in sight (Hey!)
We're going 'til the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

Gotta Be Somebody lyrics - Nickelback

This time, I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene
Straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holding my breath
Right up 'til the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own (Their own)
And everyone wants to know they're not alone (Not alone)
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere (The same somewhere)
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight
And dammit, this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu, me standing here with you
So I'll be holding my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to do it on their own (Their own)
And everyone wants to know they're not alone (Not alone)
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere (The same somewhere)
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Ooh, you can't give up (When you're looking for)
A diamond in the rough ('Cause you never know)
When it shows up (Make sure you're holding on)
'Cause it could be the one
The one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me, oh

Nobody wants to do it on their own (Their own)
And everyone wants to know they're not alone (Not alone)
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere (The same somewhere)
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there (When you're looking for)
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares ('Cause you never know)
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere (Make sure you're holding on)
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

I'd Come For You lyrics - Nickelback

Just one more moment, that's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing
Time to be honest, this time I'm pleading
Please don't dwell on it, 'cause I didn't mean it
I can't believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter 'cause I've made it up, forgive me now
Every day I spend away, my soul's inside out
Gotta be some way that I can make it up to you now, somehow

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if you're ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home
Here and now, this I vow

By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you

Yes, I'd come for you, no one but you
Yes, I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you

No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you

Next Go Round lyrics - Nickelback

I wanna do it 'til the sun comes up
'Til we're both so good and sweaty we can't stand up
I wanna do it 'til we're both about to drop
As long as we're caught in together then we're never gonna stop

I wanna go until the neighbors all complain
'Cause they heard somebody screaming and they think we're both in pain
I wanna go so long your parents think you died
They're gonna call the cops, the CIA, and then the FBI

Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
(Hold on, here we go)
Yeah, we're gonna go until our legs give out
('Round and 'round we go)
Yeah, we're gonna do it hanging upside down
(Up and down we go)
Yeah, we're getting ready for the next go 'round
'Round and 'round we go

Shut the windows, lock the doors, unplug the phone
For all intents and purposes, there ain't nobody home
Then we can do it 'til the batteries are gone
And borrow two from the TV remote to throw this thing back on
I wanna cover you with jello in the tub
We can roll around for hours without ever coming up
I want you naked with your favorite heels on
Slap John Deere across my ass and ride me up and down the lawn

Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
(Hold on, here we go)
Yeah, we're gonna go until our legs give out
('Round and 'round we go)
Yeah, we're gonna do it hanging upside down
(Up and down we go)
Yeah, we're getting ready for the next go 'round
'Round and 'round we go

Yeah, we're gonna love it when the lights go down
(Hold on, here we go)
Yeah, we're gonna go until our legs give out
('Round and 'round we go)
Yeah, we're gonna do it hanging upside down
(Up and down we go)
Yeah, we're getting ready for the next go 'round
'Round and 'round we go

Just To Get High lyrics - Nickelback

He was my best friend, well, I tried to help him
But he traded everything, for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying, turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips, his fingertips
Were melted to the bone

But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
To get high-igh, -igh, -igh (high-igh, -igh, -igh)

Three days no sleeping, well, he gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing, to supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife, on someone's wife
And held it to her throat

But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh (high-igh, -igh, -igh)
Tell me what you did, where you gone and hid?
Show me, is what you really want, watching what you've got
Slowly...!
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh (high-igh, -igh, -igh)
High-igh, -igh...oooooh!

(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High
(High-igh-igh-igh, high-igh-igh-igh)
High

Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now!
A gun would do the trick, get it over with
You're better off
To take all you've got and burn it on the spot
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh (high-igh, -igh, -igh)
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?
Show me, is what you really want, watching what you've got
Slowly...!
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh, -igh
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh, -igh
Circling the drain, throw it all away
Just to get high-igh, -igh, -igh, -igh

Never Gonna Be Alone lyrics - Nickelback

Time is going by so much faster than I
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of it with you
Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside
So I'm starting to regret not telling all of it to you
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

You're never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won't let you fall
You're never gonna be alone
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

And now as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands
'Cause forever I believe that there's nothing I could need but you
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know

You're never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won't let you fall
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on
We're gonna take the world on
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

Oh!
You've gotta live every single day
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun
Every single day
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes

Time is going by so much faster than I
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you

You're never gonna be alone
From this moment on
If you ever feel like letting go
I won't let you fall
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on
We're gonna take the world on
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

I'm gonna be there always
I won't be missing one more day
I'm gonna be there always
I won't be missing one more day

Shakin' Hands lyrics - Nickelback

(Hey, hey)
She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door
You grow up quick when you grow up poor
It's the only way to LA that she knows
The Hollywood pose: teeth, tits, and toes
It didn't take her long to leave the boulevard
So many Five Star friends with black credit cards
She'd try anything once
'Cause anything goes
It never comes easy when you're digging for gold

(Hey, hey)
Well, she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far too pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'll shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

(Hey, hey)
I doubt she'd even let the devil buy her little black book
City Hall would probably fall off if anyone got a look
Every A-List player is her favorite friend
Since they all taste the same in the back of the Benz
A congressman would call her every once in a while
Got the school girl skirt on the top of the pile
She'd done everyone once and everyone knows
You gotta get a little dirty when you're digging for gold
(Hey, hey)

Well, she ain't no Cinderella
When she's getting undressed
'Cause she rocks it like the naughty wicked witch of the west
Far too pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'll shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

Well, someone spilled the beans and now her name's in the press
Tough to keep it all a secret when you're one of the best
The judge is going easy 'cause he paid for her chest
Yeah, he loves his little naughty wicked witch of the west

Far too pretty to be giving it cheap
That's why she's making six figures working three days a week
Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promise-land
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'll shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands
She'll shake her money maker twice as hard as anyone can
She didn't make it this far by just shaking hands

S.E.X. lyrics - Nickelback

"No" is a dirty word
Never gonna say it first
"No" is just a thought that never crosses my mind

Maybe in the parking lot
Better bring your friend along
Better off together than just one at a time

"S" is for the simple need
"E" is for the ecstasy
"X" is just to mark the spot
'Cause that's the one you really want

Yes!
Sex is always the answer
It's never a question
'Cause the answer's "yes"
Oh, the answer's "yes"
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always "yes"

I'm loving what you wanna wear
I wonder what's up under there?
Wonder if I'll ever have it under my tongue?

I'd love to try to set you free
All of you all over me
Love to hear the sound you make the second you're done

"S" is for the simple need
"E" is for the ecstasy
"X" is just to mark the spot
'Cause that's the one you really want

Yes!
Sex is always the answer
It's never a question
'Cause the answer's "yes"
Oh, the answer's "yes"
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always "yes"
Yes!

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

"S" is for the simple need
"E" is for the ecstasy
"X" is just to mark the spot
'Cause that's the one you really want

Yes!
Sex is always the answer
It's never a question
'Cause the answer's "yes"
Oh, the answer's "yes"
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always "yes"
Yes!

Yes!
Sex is always the answer
It's never a question
'Cause the answer's "yes"
Oh, the answer's "yes"
Not just a suggestion
If you ask the question
Then it's always "yes"
Yes!

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yes!

If Today Was Your Last Day lyrics - Nickelback

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have?
(What if, what if?)
If today was your last day
(What if, what if?)
(If today was your last day)

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (That you finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes (Takes)
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way (Way)
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (What if, what if?)
If today was your last day

This Afternoon lyrics - Nickelback

Lookin' like another Bob-Marley day
Hittin' from the bong like a diesel train
And I'm down with hangin' out this afternoon

We've got weeds in the backyard four feet tall
Cheech and Chong probably woulda smoked 'em all
So I'm out on the couch this afternoon

Beer bottles layin' on the kitchen floor
If we take 'em all back we can buy some more
So I doubt we'll go without this afternoon

You better hang on if you're taggin' along
'Cause we'll be doing this 'til six in the mornin'
Nothin' wrong with goin' all night long
Tough to put the brakes on
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up and go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon

Landlord says I should buy a tent
But he can kiss my ass 'cause I paid the rent
So I doubt he'll kick me out this afternoon

Down on the corner in a seedy bar
Jukebox crankin' out the CCR
Had a few to Suzy Q this afternoon

You better hang on if you're taggin' along
'Cause we'll be doing this 'til six in the mornin'
Nothin' wrong with goin' all night long
Tough to put the brakes on
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up and go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again

Yeah, we get up, we go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again
Yeah, just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon

Don't want a wristwatch or an alarm clock
To see what time it is
From the moment I wake up
I just love being with my friends

We barely get by
But have the best times
And hope it never ends
We drink all day 'til we fall down
So we can do it all again

It's not the human walk
It's the human race
If you ain't living on the edge
You're takin' too much space
So I doubt
I'll figure out
Just what to do
'Bout to kick it around
Hanging out this afternoon

You better hang on if you're taggin' along
'Cause we'll be doing this 'til six in the mornin'
Nothin' wrong with goin' all night long
Tough to put the brakes on
Doesn't matter when you'd rather

Get up and go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again

Yeah, we get up, we go out
Me and all my friends
We drink up, we fall down
And then we do it all again

Just kickin' around, hanging out this afternoon
Sitting around hanging out this afternoon
Last call, you sons of bitches
Just kickin' around, hanging out this afternoon
Yeah, just sitting around hanging out this afternoon
Drinks on the house
Just kickin' around, hanging out this afternoon
Just sitting around hanging out this afternoon

Follow You Home lyrics - Nickelback

Well, you can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
Well, you can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down
Well, you can stick me in a hole
And you can pray all day for rain
You can shoot me in the leg
Just to try to make me beg
And you can leave me there for days

And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home, yeah
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess, you're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit and every city in between
You can slap me in the face and you can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone, but I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home

You can make a couple calls
And tell your brothers I'm in town
Put a bounty on my head
And tell my parents that I'm dead
And hope to hell I'm never found
You can steal me the keys
To your daddy's Cadillac
Well, you can tamper with the brakes
Call it a mistake
And pray I'm never coming back

And I'll stay alive
Just to follow you home, yeah
And I will survive
'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess, you're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit and every city in between
You can slap me in the face and you can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone, but I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home

You can dig me up a grave
And try and stick me in the ground
You can tie me to the bed
And try and beat me half to death
But you can never keep me down

And I will survive
Cause you're my Mississippi Princess, you're my California Queen
Like the Duchess of Detroit and every city in between
You can slap me in the face and you can scream profanity
Leave me here to die alone, but I'll still follow you home
I'll still follow you home (I'll still follow you home)
I'll still follow you home (I'll still follow you home)
I'll still follow you home (I'll still follow you home)
I'll still follow you home (I'll still follow you home)
I'll still follow you home

Fight For All The Wrong Reasons lyrics - Nickelback

Well, I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

Well, you know my friends
They know your enemies
I'd pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
'Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong to go along with insanity?
Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

You know I'm the best
When I stick it on your chest
I know you don't care
I can stick it anywhere
On the bus, it's the best
When I blow it on your chest
I know you don't care
I can shove it anywhere

I guess it wasn't what I wanted
Wasn't really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what I wanted
Wasn't really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what I wanted
Wasn't really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
I want it all to go away
I guess it wasn't what I wanted
Wasn't really what I thought
Thought it was the day I got
I want it all to go away

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
For all the wrong reasons

Photograph lyrics - Nickelback

Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red?
And what the hell is on Joey's head?
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must've done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate?
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them, I wouldn't let me in

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
(Goodbye)

Remember the old arcade?
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, God, I, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

I miss that town
I miss their faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could, I'd relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye

Look at this photograph
Every time I do, it makes me laugh
Every time I do, it makes me

Animals lyrics - Nickelback

I, I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
'Cause the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (Animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals (Animals)

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in

You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (Animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals (Animals)

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in

We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back and we just started getting busy
When she whispered "What was that?"
"The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are"
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin'

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals (Animals)
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals (Animals)

So come on baby, get in
(We're just a couple of animals)
Get in, just get in
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we're in
(We're just a couple of animals)
Get in, just get in

Savin' Me lyrics - Nickelback

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees, I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well, I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in

All I need is you (Come, please, I'm callin')
And oh, I scream for you (Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin')

Show me what it's like (To be the last one standing)
And teach me wrong from right (And I'll show you what I can be)
And say it for me, say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
All I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story

Oh, I scream for you (Come, please, I'm callin')
And all I need from you (Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin')

Show me what it's like (To be the last one standing)
And teach me wrong from right (And I'll show you what I can be)
And say it for me, say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me
Hurry, I'm fallin'

And all I need is you (Come, please, I'm callin')
And oh, I scream for you (Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin')

Show me what it's like (To be the last one standing)
And teach me wrong from right (And I'll show you what I can be)
And say it for me, say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me (Hurry, I'm fallin')

And say it for me, say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me

Far Away lyrics - Nickelback

This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left

'Cause you know
You know, you know

I love you
I loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing
If I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of Hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all, I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up

'Cause you know
You know, you know

I love you
I loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long

I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing
If I don't see you anymore

So far away (So far away)
Been far away for far too long
So far away (So far away)
Been far away for far too long

But you know
You know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you (I love you)
I loved you all along
And I forgive you (I forgive you)
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me, and never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me, never let me go

Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go

Next Contestant lyrics - Nickelback

I judge by what she's wearing
Just how many heads I'm tearing
Off of assholes coming on to her
Each night seems like it's getting worse

And I wish she'd take the night off
So I don't have to fight off
Every asshole coming on to her
It happens every night she works

They'll go and ask the DJ
Find out just what would she say
If they all tried coming on to her
Don't they know it's never gonna work

They think they'll get inside her
With every drink they buy her
As they all try coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant

Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
And I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
And I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant

I even fear the ladies
They're cool but twice as crazy
Just as bad for coming on to her
Don't they know it's never gonna work

Each time she bats an eyelash
Somebody's grabbing her ass
Everyone keeps coming on to her
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant

Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
And I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
And I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next contestant

I'm hating what she's wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can't wait 'til they get what they deserve
This time somebody's getting hurt

Here comes the next contestant

Is that your hand on my girlfriend?
Is that your hand?
And I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
And I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
And I wish you'd do it again
Each night seems like it's getting worse
And I wish you'd do it again
This time somebody's getting hurt

There goes the next contestant

Side Of A Bullet lyrics - Nickelback

Uncle Sam taught him to shoot, maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say "Oh God, don't let him pull it"
"Please God, don't let him pull it"
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it

How could you take his life away? (What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate? (To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die and made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own, I cried alone
And scratched your name on the side of a bullet

And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say, "God why'd you let him do it?"

How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it

How could you take his life away? (What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate? (To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die and made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own, I scratched your name on the side of a bullet

How could you take his life away? (What made you think you had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate? (To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die and made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own, I scratched your name on the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet

If Everyone Cared lyrics - Nickelback

From underneath the trees
We watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing, Amen, I
I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen, I
I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing
Amen, I, Amen, I
I'm alive
Amen, I, Amen, I, Amen, I
I'm alive

And in the air, the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I
I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen, I
I'm alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

When nobody died

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died

Someone That You're With lyrics - Nickelback

I reside in 209, you're in 208
You moved in last Friday night
And I just couldn't wait
So I tried to call across the hall
To ask you out someday
But a lineup formed outside your door, and I was way too late

Well, I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want, I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere, the one I wanna be with's with somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that someone that you're with
(I wanna be that someone that you're with)
And I can talk about it all day long 'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that someone that you're with
(I've got to be that someone that you're with)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that someone that you're with

Well, I hear your favorite songs you sing along with everyday
And I borrow things that I don't need for conversation sake
Last night I heard your key, it hit your lock at 4 AM
Instead of being out with me, you must be out with them

Well, I'd rather start off slow
This whole thing's like some sort of race
Instead of winning what I want, I'm sitting here in second place

Because somewhere, the one I wanna be with's with somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that someone that you're with
(I wanna be that someone that you're with)
And I can talk about it all day long 'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that someone that you're with
(I've got to be that someone that you're with)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere and just about to kiss
God, I wanna be that someone that you're with
Because somewhere, the one I wanna be with's with somebody else
Oh God, I wanna be that someone that you're with
And I can talk about it all day long 'til I run out of breath
But I still wanna be that someone that you're with
(I've got to be that someone that you're with)
And I'm pacing by the phone
'Cause I hate to be alone
And if you're out there with him somewhere and just about to kiss
But God, I got to be that someone that
I wanna be that someone that
I've got to be that someone that you're with

Rockstar lyrics - Nickelback

I'm through with standing in line to clubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
This life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough for ten plus me
(Ah, so what you need?)
I'll need a, a credit card that's got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club at thirty-seven thousand feet
(Been there, done that)
I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair, and we'll
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar, oh
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight bodyguards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs so I can eat my meals for free
(I'll have the quesadilla, ha-ha)
I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to blow my money for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I'd even cut my hair and change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair, and we'll
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills from a Pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
And we'll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary of today's who's who
They'll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar, oh
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Dirty Laundry lyrics - Nickelback

(originally by Don Henley)

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good; I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubble-headed bleached-blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
And all the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pies
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

Guardian Angel lyrics - Nickelback

There's a man on the street
Whose got nothing to eat
And he asks you for a hand
But you pass him aside like
He's on a free ride and he's a con-man
But if the role were reversed
And you'd been born cursed
I think you'd see it differently
Take a walk in his shoes
And then you might lose
That tight grip on generosity

I wasn't born a guardian angel
I'm just an average Joe who's
Tryin' to know a little bit
About what's going on
No I, wasn't born a guardian angel
Side by side we can do it together
We'll pull through it and
We'll make our problems history
Won't you, please, be my guardian angel

Take a walk in his shoes
And then you might lose
That tight grip on generosity

I wasn't born a guardian angel
I'm just an average Joe who's
Tryin' to know a little bit
About what's going on
No I, wasn't born a guardian angel
Side by side we can do it together
We'll pull through it and
We'll make our problems history
Won't you, please, be my guardian angel

And he asks you for a hand
But you pass him aside like
He's on a free ride and he's a con-man
But if the role were reversed
And you'd been born cursed
I think you'd see it differently
Take a walk in his shoes
And then you might lose
That tight grip on generosity

I wasn't born a guardian angel
I'm just an average Joe who's
Tryin' to know a little bit
About what's going on
No I, wasn't born a guardian angel
Side by side we can do it together
We'll pull through it and
We'll make our problems history
Won't you, please, be my guardian angel

Leave The Bones For The Crows lyrics - Nickelback

(from "Dungeon Hunter VI" soundtrack)

We stand united champions
Unbeated, unbroken
And bleed until the battles won
Like demons, awoken

And under skies of ancient stone
For gold and, for glory
We'll write new chapters far from home
So unfolds, the story

Castles will crumble and towers will fall
Blast through the rubble, set fire to them all
Where this evil comes from, well God only knows
Their souls go to Hell but

We'll leave their bones for the crows
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows!
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows

We dance through fire like dragon skin
We're stronger, we're driven
The deep surrenders are within
No longer, the hidden

When shadows suffocate the lost
Will blind me, to know and
The last one standing pays the cost
For finding, the stolen

Castles will crumble and towers will fall
Blast through the rubble, set fire to them all
Where this evil comes from, well God only knows
Their souls go to Hell but

We'll leave their bones for the crows
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows!
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows

Castles will crumble and towers will fall
Blast through the rubble, set fire to them all
Where this evil comes from, well God only knows
Their souls go to Hell but

We'll leave their bones for the crows
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows!
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows!
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows!
Heaven will plead for their souls (They will plead for their souls)
We'll leave their bones for the crows

Legs lyrics - Nickelback

(originally by ZZ Top)

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's holding legs, you wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?

She's my baby, she's my baby, yeah, it's alright

She's got hair down to her fanny
She's got a thread skirt right up to her panties
Every time she's dancin', she knows what to do
Everybody wants to see, see if she can use it

She's so fine, she's all mine, ooh girl, you got it right

She's got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She's got a dime all of the time
Stays out at night movin' through time

Ooh, I want her, yeah, I got to have her
Ooh, the girl is alright
The girl is alright
Yeah, she's alright

Rockstar Sea Shanty lyrics - Nickelback & The Lottery Winners

I'm through with
Standing in line to pubs I'll never get in
It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
Life hasn't turned out quite the way I want it to be
Tell me what you want
I want a huge sail that'll hold the squalls
And a big black ship with some cannonballs
Don't wanna join Davy Jones twenty thousand leagues under the sea
So how you gonna do it?

I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

Everybody's got a rum dealer on speed dial

Hey, I wanna be a rockstar

Gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
Singing those songs that offend the censors
Popping my pills from a Pez dispenser
Rockstars don't do mornings
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs
Get washed up sailors writing all our songs
Lipsync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong
We'll sing them dusk 'til morning, we, we

We all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

The Devil Went Down To Georgia lyrics - Nickelback (feat. Dave Martone)

(originally by The Charlie Daniels Band)

The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind the way behind and willing to make a deal.
When he came across this young man pickin' a guitar and playin' it hot.
The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy, let me tell you what."

"I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a guitar player, too.
And if you'd care to take this dare I'll make a bet with you.
Now you a pretty damn good strummer, boy, but give the Devil his due.
I'll bet a guitar of gold against your soul that says I'm better than you."

But the boy said, "My name's Johnny, and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret, I'm the best there's ever been."

The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he tuned his axe down low.
And he pulled that pick across the strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons all joined in and it sounded just like this.

When the Devil finished, Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son,
Well sit your old ass in that chair right there, let me show you how the fuck it's done."

The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that gold guitar down on the ground at Johnny's feet.
But Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back, if you ever wanna try again,
I done told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

(Unredeemable)
(Unredeemable)

Every moment taking all that I could take
Never stopped to watch destruction in the wake
With all the bridges burned and wounds I didn't mend
The worth I thought I'd earned was worthless in the end

And still I try
To make amends to the end of time
Or am I...

Unredeemable
Can I be a man who breaks
From a lifetime of mistakes
Oh...
Can my worst be left behind
And do I deserve to find
A kind of love that I can lean on every day?
Or will my soul forever stay...
Unredeemable
Unredeemable

(Unredeemable)

Years of sweat and tears to overcompensate
Banking every deed needed to accumulate
Haunted by someone I'm trying to replace
Repenting for a past I wish I could erase

And still I try
To make amends to the end of time
Or am I...

Unredeemable
Can I be a man who breaks
From a lifetime of mistakes
Oh...
Can my worst be left behind
And do I deserve to find
A kind of love that I can lean on every day
Or will my soul forever stay...
Unredeemable
Unredeemable

Is it fortune
Is it fate
To fix this life
Is there time or a little bit too late
Am I worthy to lift this weight?
I've got to try
Or am I...

Unredeemable
Can I be a man who breaks
From a lifetime of mistakes
Oh...
Can my worst be left behind
And do I deserve to find
A kind of love that I can lean on every day

Or will my soul forever stay...
Unredeemable
Unredeemable
Unredeemable
Unredeemable

(Unredeemable)
