Lyrics from "The Rob Album"

Hot Bacon
Every Friday night Dad would be out for the night-not that he was doing something wrong
He never missed a beat we always got our treat-now I'm sayin' thank you in this song       
Hot Bacon in the Mornin'
Mama made potatoes cause ya got to eat potatoes-she always made too much but that's alright
We'd see them the next day in a different kind of way-cookin' with the scrambled eggs and right next to the
Hot Bacon in the Mornin'
Radio said "snow day" we were up and out to play-didn't care too much 'bout hat or glove
Dad never slept in 'cause that would be a sin-he always warmed us up with a little love
Hot Bacon in the Mornin'
Don't let it burn your hand-gotta turn on that fan-be careful with that fork-when you're pokin' the hot pork

Beautiful
Tiffany had sparkles-she threw them in the sky-the tunes were spinning-so was I
Oh, all the beautiful people were there
The girls were dancing-nobody lost control-everybody's cup was always full
Oh, all the beautiful people were there-where were you?
Shared a bottle with a prophet and learned something new-shook an old friends hand as I said "how do you do"
There were a few I didn't get to talk to-gives me a reason to do it again
Oh, all the beautiful people were there-where were you?

Big Deal
Knows how to stand in the spotlight-knows how to rise above the stares
Knows how to play the situation-becomes the colort that he wears
Always takes his time-meets everyone in line
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go stand on the mountain
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go take on the world
Knows how to drive the conversation-knows when to speak or when to make you dwell
Knows how to hang with the wiseman-he don't have to act 'cause he knows the part so well
Always right on track-always got your back
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go stand on the mountain
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go take on the world
Knows how to stand in the spotlight-knows when to rise or when to take the fall
Knows how to give the final answer-he's got your number but he'll let you make the call
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go stand on the mountain
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go take on the world
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go walk on the water
I'm a big deal you're a big deal-let's go take on the world

How High
Summer '99 might have said it best-so many people couldn't pass the test
No, ma and pa ain't lookin'-how you gonna stand above the rest?
Someone raises a flag and everybody follows-someone raises a glass and everybody drinks
Someone tells me to jump and I have to ask-how high should I fly?
Do you need to step upon my shoulder-do you need to kick me in my face
or are you just a man without a major-trying to find the perfect place?
Someone raises a flag and everybody follows-someone raises a glass and everybody drinks
Someone tells me to jump and I have to ask-how high should I fly?
Have you ever had a revelation-do you need to know the time of day?
Maybe I can call up information-captain oh captain we must have lost our way
Someone raises a flag and everybody follows-someone raises a glass and everybody drinks
Someone tells me to jump and I have to ask-how high should I fly?
Someone raises a flag and everybody follows-someone raises a glass and nobody thinks
Someone tells me to jump and I have to ask-how high should I fly?
Uncharted
Running a course uncharted, just a vision to guide the way
Ignoring the lines that were laid before, just a road traveled everyday
Seems like a good beginning, but who knows where it's gonna go
Ignoring the prize I close my eyes, with the water I start to flow
The books that were read, the things that were said told me not what to do
For a place in the sun inspiration has won, I will always come back to you
Forever
I'm lying in a place where I'm not on the run-don't have to watch the world go by
Don't have a phone to ring, just a song to sing-I could stay here forever
I never feel too cold, I never have to tremble-every day the sun does shine
Don't have a thing to fear, all I need is near-I could stay here forever
I'm lying in a place where all I have is fun-I never thought I'd feel this high
Don't have a war to win, just a love within-I could stay here forever
The Cape
I remember when I got the cape-disappointment when it wasn't working
Straight On
There you are so far away-here I am waiting for the day
when I pick up the phone and you tell me your home-I'll come runnin'
There you are so far away-here I am, I'm in disarray
'cause I'm passing my time waiting for that bell to chime-I'll come runnin'
Straight on to you
All my friends said that I needed a break-I don't think they've ever been in love
There you are so far away-here I am waiting for the day
When I pick up the line and you tell me your mine-I'll come runnin'
Straight on to you
