Call Your Name

[Verse 1] I don't dream in my bed These days I'll sleep alone instead And I'm so far, far from me In the deepest, darkest sea [Pre-Chorus] I hope the wind will carry you Into the blue Feathered wings will hold you I hope the wind will carry you Back to the stars Life below is too hard [Chorus] I don't call your name anymore I can't take the weight like I did before Now you take my heart from out me You'll be the death of me [Verse 2] Then my heart, it turned cold I had to walk away alone And you're so far, far from home These stars, they will shine on [Pre-Chorus] I hope the wind will carry you Into the blue Feathered wings will hold you I hope the wind will carry you Back to the stars Life below is too hard [Chorus] I don't call your name anymore I can't take the weight like I did before Now you take my heart from out me You'll be the death of me [Chorus] I don't call your name anymore I can't take the weight like I did before Now you take my heart from out me You'll be the death of me You'll be the death of me

Red

[Verse 1] Loving him is like driving a new Maserati Down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin Ending so suddenly Loving him is like trying to change your mind Once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright Just before they lose it all [Chorus] Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark grey, all alone Forgetting him was like Trying to know somebody you never met But loving him was red Loving him was red [Verse 2] Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted Was right there in front of you Memorizing him was as easy as knowing All the words to your old favorite song Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword And realizing there's no right answer Regretting him was like wishing you never found out That love could be that strong [Chorus] Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark grey, all alone Forgetting him was like Trying to know somebody you never met But loving him was red Oh, red Burning red [Bridge] Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red Loving him was red [Chorus] Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark grey, all alone Forgetting him was like Trying to know somebody you never met 'Cause loving him was red Yeah, yeah, red We're burning red [Breakdown] And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head Comes back to me, burning red Yeah, yeah [Outro] His love was like driving a new Maserati Down a dead-end street

Long Way Home

[Verse 1] She must be a long way from home My baby is waiting somewhere I don’t know why Here all those ones are the wrong one And now I got nowhere else to hide [Chorus] I’m leaving town for the weekend Hoping I might found myself again and this time I’m taking this lonely road t’ill its end Cause now I think I understand yeah sometimes Your only road leads a long way from home [Verse 2] Going around, making circles in the ground It’s crazy but I’m gonna take a chance on me The Motel sign is already gone One day I’ll have my name written on a neon [Chorus] I’m leaving town for the weekend Hoping I will sing my songs again for a long time I’m taking this lonely road t’ill its end Cause now I think I understand yeah sometimes Your only road leads a long way from home [Solo] [Chorus-2] I’m leaving town before the night ends Hoping I might found my dream again between these lines I’m taking this lonely road from the start I follow the feelings of my heart, yeah sometimes This lonely road is the only road you’ll find This lonely road leads a long way from home

Real

Waiting on the empty street You looked up at me Smiled as we said hello I could hardly breathe It feels like I’m learning you And it feels like you know me too And you held me in your arms so close And you made me feel That this could be real We showed each other photographs Of things we love and things we miss Our hands so close We walked, we talked I learned the names of all the people in your life That mean the most It feels likе some time’s gone by Whеn I look into your ocean eyes And you held me in your arms so tight Whispered in my ear And you told me it was real I don’t wanna waste my time Thinking this is gonna be something that it’s not But something in your eyes is telling me To hold back all those fears I didn’t know I’d got So maybe you could change my mind now And tell me what to say And I could waste my time with you ‘Cause maybe this is fate Winter passed in skies of grey And you right next to me I never really thought you’d stay It’s so hard to believe But I don’t have to call your name Or wait here in the pouring rain I’m hoping that you feel the same When you look at me ‘Cause this must be real

Saints And Angels

[Verse 1:] We're only human, baby We walk on broken ground We lose our way We come unwound We'll turn in circles, baby We're never satisfied We'll fall from grace Forget we can fly But through all the tears that we cried We'll survive [Chorus:] Cause when we're torn apart Shattered and scarred Love has the grace to save us We're just two tarnished hearts When in each other's arms We become saints and angels [Verse 2:] I love your imperfections I love your everything Your broken heart, your broken wings I love you when you hold me And when you turn away I love you still and I'm not afraid Cause I know you feel the same way And you'll stay [Chorus] [Bridge:] These feet of clay (these feet of clay) They will not stray [Chorus]

One More Year

What harm would one more year done Before you were stolen away? Don't you think that I would have come If I'd known what I know today? But it wouldn't have made a difference You were gone the day we met Left me standing with my regrets And a face I can't forget I was going to the west I'm riding over Tennessee The southern blues are high again But you would never come and see me It ain't right but I'll pretend That it wouldn't have made a difference You were gone the day we met A face I can't forget She said that I was blessed I was dying in the west

Today I Saw My Funeral

Today I saw my funeral it was an awful sight The grass was brown and dying and the sun was sick and bright I felt my body lowered in the cold and frozen ground Today I saw my funeral there was no one around Today I saw my funeral it made me so ashamed I realized the only thing my life had brought was pain All I ever cared about or thought about was me Today I saw my funeral it was so hard to see Today I saw my funeral so silent and alone I wanted to go find someone to weep upon my bones To change me from this terrible thing to something pure and good Today I saw my funeral as on your grave I stood Grandmother

Wait Around

Lonely afternoon, she’ll be coming home soon Save me from this dark place that I call home And if she ain’t comin back I guess I’ll wait around some Pretty grey day, in a pretty grey way Clouds coming down over the motorway Lay here on the ground I’m just a waitin' round Wait a minute and boredom will get ya Try to run but its not gonna let ya No ones making a sound I guess i'll wait around Wait a minute and boredom will get ya Try to run but its not gonna let ya No ones making a sound I guess i'll wait around Haven’t made it past noon haven’t left my room Cause its pissin’ down rain not stopping any time soon I lay here on the ground I’m just a waitin' round I lay here on the ground I’m just a waitin' round

Wild Love

[Verse 1] If you're whiskey on a summer night I'm one too many If you're a one hit get me high I'm flying already You're a storm cloud rolling in Lightning in the wire The way your eyes light up mine It's like a California fire [Chorus] Oh we got a wild love Haven't felt it in a while But I feel it in your touch Try to tame it boy I'd never You can't fence that in Let's let it run forever There's no holding back the wind When you got a wild love Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild love [Verse 2] Don't know what it is about you That makes me lose control It's obviously dangerous But I ain't letting go [Chorus] Of this wild love Haven't felt it in a while But I feel it in your touch Try to tame it boy I'd never You can't fence that in Let's let it run forever There's no holding back the wind When you got a wild love Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild love [Bridge] A little crazy, fallin' free Hey baby, I hope we'll always be [Chorus] In wild love Haven't felt it in a while But I feel it in your touch Try to tame it boy I'd never You can't fence that in Let's let it run forever There's no holding back the wind When you got a wild love Wild, wild, wild, wild, wild love

Reasons The Writers Cut

[Verse 1] I don't know why you can't buy wine 'round here on Sundays Or an ice cold beer at a college football game I don't know why at eighteen, mama gave me a curfew But it was, "Son, you're under my roof, then you're under my rules" [Pre-Chorus] I guess it's all a part of a bigger plan And some of them, I'll never understand [Chorus] But they got their reasons, just like you When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin' Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end I got my reasons [Verse 2] I don't know why them uptown guys sittin' three seats from me Are raisin' 'em up just as fast as they can put 'em down Or why that old timer wants the Yankees on the TV And the barkeep keeps buyin' that one girl free rounds [Chorus] But they got their reasons, just like you When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin' Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end I got my reasons [Bridge] Some are good and some are bad Some are true and some are sad Everyone's got some, but I need one that brings you back [Chorus] 'Cause they got their reasons, just like you When you walked out of my life when you didn't have to You sent me reelin', there's nothin' I can do About you takin' my heart and breakin' it right in two So if you see me soakin' in these thoughts I'm thinkin' Drownin' in some barroom, off the deep end I got my reasons [Outro] Woah, I got my reasons Woah, I got my reasons I got my reasons

Shine

[Verse 1] Winter's weighing on your shoulders It's hanging around a little too long And I can see it in your eyes You've taken on a load that's just too strong Oh, but let me get down to the heart of the matter Baby, if you want I can make it better now [Chorus] When the sun is hard to find When it's raining in your eyes When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear When you just can't see the light Baby, I'll find a way to shine I'll find a way to shine [Verse 2] Everybody's got a cross to carry Everybody's got a story they can tell You know you're not the only one counting on a quarter and wishing well Woah don't you sit there with your heart under lock and key Give me one chance baby, I can set you free [Chorus] When the sun is hard to find When it's raining in your eyes When the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear When you just can't see the light Baby, I'll find a way to shine I'll find a way to shine [Verse 3] Sometimes in this life good luck doesn't shine like it suppose to do When there's no one you can trust and they just keep on giving up on you Baby, don't you know that I won't ever let you down Come on now, woo Oh, don't sit there with your heart under lock and key Just give me one chance and baby, I can set you free [Chorus] When the sun is hard to find When it's raining in your eyes And the shadows block those pretty little blue skies living inside you When the falling of your tears, makes a candle disappear And you just can't see the light Baby, I'll find a way to shine I'll find a way to shine Find a way to shine Find a way to shine You know I'll find a way [Outro] Find a way, find a way Find a way to shine

Drive my Truck

[Chorus] I've got a girl that don't take no lip She's as tough as they come in as hot as it gets Man she sure looks pretty when she gets a little dirty And I like her just like that Not afraid to get stuck She's the only one who can drive me truck [Verse 1] When I first saw her sitting on her drop tailgate Cut off shorts and cowboy boots Listening to George Strait So I walked on up and took a chance And asked her if she'd like to dance Shook my hand 'bout broke my wrist Said boy you can't handle this Something happened to me that night My arms around her I thought something felt just right [Chorus] 'Cause I've got a girl that don't take no lip She's as tough as they come in as hot as it gets Man she sure looks pretty when she gets a little dirty And I like her just like that Not afraid to get stuck She's the only one who can drive me truck [Verse 2] Now when I see her sitting on my tailgate Not much has changed and that smile still takes my breath away Every now and then we still like to dance Man i'm sure glad I took that chance A strong woman is hard to find I'm just glad that I found mine She is my southern belle But she ain't scared to raise a little hell [Chorus] 'Cause I've got a girl that don't take no lip She's as tough as they come in as hot as it gets Man she sure looks pretty When she gets a little dirty And I like her just like that Not afraid to get stuck And she's the only one Not afraid to get stuck She's the only one who can drive me truck Who can drive my truck

Watermelon Rind

[Verse 1] Well, when I was just a little boy Not more than four or five years old Me and my family head to the river And jump in the swimming hole; And when we got a little bit hungry Mama got us something so fine: She’d pull out a watermelon And we’d eat it on down to the rind [Chorus] Watermelon rind Watermelon rind!

You go by with some other guy While I stand here alone You don't think that I should cry But I'm not made of stone And I can cry just like anyone can And I can die just like anyone can If you hurt me and you hurt me Every time that you go by And you are with another guy It hurts me Every time that I see you It hurts me 'cause you know How I need you so bad You're the one love That I ever had Used to be just you and me And no one else was there Now you're gone, I'm all alone And you don't even care But I can cry just like anyone can And I can die just like anyone can If you hurt me and you hurt me Every time that you go by And you are with another guy It hurts me Every time that I see you It hurts me 'cause you know How I need you so bad You're the one love That I ever had It hurts me Every time that I see you It hurts me Don't you know how I need you It hurts me Every time that I see you It hurts me Don't you know how I need you It hurts me Every time that I see you It hurts me Don't you know how I need you It hurts me...

I Cant Take You Anywhere

[Verse 1] You've been a part of my life for so very long It's hard for me to believe sometimes that you're really gone I tuck your memory away in that special hiding place Hoping no one could tell by the look on my face That you're still in my heart, always on my mind Part of my everyday [Verse 2] Like just last night I went out for a bite I tried to have fun with all of my might But even the laughter, it wasn't much of a break 'Cause right in the middle of my salad and steak Bobby Joe walked in with a couple of friends And said, "Hey have you heard from her at all man like Where's she been?" [Chorus] And it, struck a nerve And it, hit a vein You'd think from all the tears I cried And this broken-hearted pain I wouldn't have to carry you around with me But it seems like everywhere I go Somebody wants to know where you've been Are you coming back again, I swear I can't take you anywhere [Verse 3] So I left all alone, just headed back home As I listened to the messages on my telephone There was one from my sister And one from an old friend He said, "I drove by your house tonight dude but You weren't in Just checking up on you boy, I hope you're doing alright Oh by the way man, I seen her last night [Chorus] And it, hit a vein You'd think from all the tears I cried And this broken-hearted pain I wouldn't have to carry you around with me But it seems like everywhere I go Somebody wants to know where you've been Are you coming back again, I swear I can't take you anywhere [Outro] I swear, I can't take you Just can't take you I can't take you anywhere I can't take you anywhere I can't take you anywhere I can't take you anywhere

I Fall to Pieces

I fall to pieces each time I see you again I fall to pieces how can I be just your friend You want me to act like we've never kissed You want me to forget pretend we've never met And I've tried oh I've tried but I haven't yet You walk by and I fall to pieces I fall to pieces each time someone speaks your name I fall to pieces time only adds to the flame You tell me to find someone to love Someone who'll love me too the way you used to do But each time I go out with someone new You walk by and I fall to pieces you walk by and I fall to pieces

Walls of Red Wing

[Verse] Oh, the age of the inmates I remember quite freely: No younger than twelve No older 'n seventeen Thrown in like bandits Cast off like criminals Inside the grounds Around the walls of Red Wing From the dirty old mess hall You marched to that brick wall Too weary to talk And too tired to sing Oh, it's all afternoon You remember your home town Inside the grounds Around the walls of Red Wing Oh, the gates are cast iron And the walls are barbed wire Stay far from the fence With the electricity sting And it's keep down your head And stay in your number On the inside grounds Around the walls of Red Wing Oh, it's fare-thee-well To the deep hollow dungeon Farewell to the board-walk That takes you to the screen And farewell to the minutes They threaten you with it Inside the grounds Around the walls of Red Wing It's many a guard That stands around smiling Holding his club Like he was a king Hoping to get you Behind a wood piling Inside the grounds Around the walls of Red Wing The night aimed shadows Through the crossbar windows And the wind punched hard To make the wall-siding sing It's many a night I pretended to be sleeping On the inside grounds Around the walls of Red Wing As the rain rattled heavy On the bunk-house shingles And the sounds in the night That made my ears ring Until the keys of the guards Clicked the tune of the morning On the inside grounds Around the walls of Red Wing Oh, some of us'll end up In St. Cloud Prison And some of us'll wind up To be lawyers and things And some of us'll stand up To meet you on your crossroads From inside the grounds Around the walls of Red Wing From the inside grounds Around the walls of Red Wing

Nothin But The Cooler Left

[Verse 1] Been waitin' all week About to bust loose Get the party iced down in my off-shore Igloo Everybody's gatherin' around Wherever we are that's where we're throwin' down [Chorus] Oh, yeah Everybody grab a cold beer Pop it open, raise it up in the air Bump cans with your neighbor, yeah Here's to good ole boys and country girls everywhere Livin' loud, rockin' out to the sound of our favorite songs Y'all sing along, this night ain't over yet We're gonna stay right here til there's nothing but the cooler left [Verse 2] Ain't gonna waste one drop of this Friday night Been buildin' up a thirst for a hell of a time Got my boots on and ready to kick it off, brother If you're runnin' low, holler throw me another [Chorus] Oh, yeah Everybody grab a cold beer Pop it open, raise it up in the air Bump cans with your neighbor, yeah Here's to good ole boys and country girls everywhere Livin' loud, rockin' out to the sound of our favorite songs Y'all sing along, this night ain't over yet We're gonna stay right here til there's nothing but the cooler left Oh, yeah Everybody grab a cold beer Pop it open, raise it up in the air Bump cans with your neighbor, yeah Here's to good ole boys and country girls everywhere Livin' loud, rockin' out to the sound of our favorite songs Y'all sing along, this night ain't over yet We're gonna stay right here til there's nothing but the cooler left [Outro] Yeah, dance along, drink along Come On, get your party on Everybody with me 'til there's nothin' but the cooler left Sip it son, shotgun Either way we're ending up a couple past tipsy With nothin' but the cooler left

Circles

[Verse 1] Like the bubbles floating in my beer Circles Like a bobber when I'm fishing off the pier Circles Like a quarter in the jukebox dropped at the Waffle House Everywhere I look around I see circles, circles [Chorus] Like the wheels on my truck and my radio dial Left-hand turns of a NASCAR mile Girls on the dance floor spinning around The moon coming up, sun going down Ring on her finger Ring on the bar The hole in the middle of my old guitar The world is a ball, y'all It's all about circles, circles It's all about circles, circles [Verse 2] There's a bill sitting in my mailbox Rectangle I got a neighbor when I party call the cops Square, man Got a nail from the driveway Poking through my Firestone Flat circle I only like circles [Chorus] Like the wheels on my truck and my radio dial Left-hand turns of a NASCAR mile Girls on the dance floor spinning around The moon coming up, sun going down Ring on her finger Ring on the bar The hole in the middle of my old guitar The world is a ball y'all It's all about circles, circles It's all about circles, circles [Chorus] Like the wheels on my truck and my radio dial The left-hand turns of a NASCAR mile Girls on the dance floor spinning around The moon coming up, sun going down [Outro] The clock on the wall when it's quitting time Bonfire burning with some friends of mine The world is a ball, y'all It's all about circles, circles (It's all about, it's all about) It's all about circles, circles (It's all about, it's all about) Circles

Fade Into You

(feat. Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen) If you were the ocean and I was the sun If the day made me heavy and gravity won If I was the red and you were the blue I could just fade into you If you were a window and I was the rain I'd pour myself out and wash off the pain I'd fall like a tear so your light could shine through Then I'd just fade into you In your heart in your head in your Arms in your bed under your skin Til there's no way to know where You end and where I begin If I was a shadow and you were a Street The cobblestone midnight is where We first meet Til the lights flickered out, we Dance with the moon Then I'd just fade into you In your heart in your head in your Arms in your bed under your skin Til there's no way to know where You end and where I begin I wanna melt in I wanna soak through I only wanna move when you move I wanna breathe out when you Breathe in then I wanna fade into you If I was just ashes and you were The ground And under your willow they laid me Down There'll be no trace that one was Once two After I fade into you (Ooooh....) Then I'd just fade into you (4x)

St. Claires Retreat

[Verse 1] I said a prayer for good St. Claire And then I said one more for you 'Cause when that evenin' sun came down, I felt blue I never meant to do you right Not like you've never done for me The good old prayer was quick to offer her a treat [Verse 2] They say dreams are just feelings in a bottle And I get to thinkin' I could use a few And I get to thinkin' 'bout you I should climb up on a mountain on my own two feet 'Cause the doors are always open And the rates are always cheap [Chorus] I'll leave a candle in the window But I may as well like to Say a prayer for good St. Claire And one for you [Verse 3] Time has its way of making its escape Years go by, I wonder where did all of ours go If I could do things all over again I'd have spent those nights with you Left sweet Claire like a fool to someone new [Verse 4] They say touch is what we need to keep us livin' But I've made a livin' out of lyin' to you Lord, what did I do? I started out with good intentions With the sunshine comes the rain Who knew the slightest provocation Could wash good intentions all away? [Chorus] I'll leave a candle in the window But I may as well like to Say a prayer for good St. Claire And one for you [Outro] Say a prayer for good St. Claire And one for you

High

High, high as a kite I will fly away. Low as the rock that I’ve hit It’s an inevitable feeling an irrevocable dealing of the cards And I’m just laying here praying you’ll tell me it’s hard Harder than it seems To know myself is my greatest disease. To fear all the things I don’t know. (I don’t wanna know) Like a wayfairing stranger or a lamb in a manger I’m scorned And I’m just sitting here staring and bearing the norm Sing high, high and away Sing high, high and away Sing high, high and away Sing high, high and away

I Threw Away The Rose

Once I lived a life of wine and roses I drank a lot back then for one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friend would help me make the turn But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses For I kept the wine and threw away the rose I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn I made was not the one I planned And I watched my social standings slip away from me As I slowly watched the bottle take command And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses For I kept the wine and through away the rose...

Real Man

I came home from college to see my old man He was sittin' on the porch swing, with a book in his hand He stared at my earring, and at my tattoo He smiled and shook his head and said It's good to see you He chose his words carefully cause it was hard for me to come And he knew I had ta temper and where I got it from I waited for the sermon, the one I knew so well But this time he wasn't preachin' About heaven or hell He said a real man knows the value of a woman A real man has got nothin to prove He's strenthened by love And the Lord up above So do the best that you can To be a real man Could it be that I saw just a glimpse of his soul Or maybe losin' Mama had just taken it's toll He gave me his Bible, stained with tears he had cried And I opened up the cover Where he wrote inside And it said A real man has got nothin to prove He's strenthened by love And the Lord up above So do the best that you can To be a real man Do the best that you can To be a real man...

Troubled Soul

Woke up this morning, to a record that’s played Felt the whiskey burning from yesterday Sick of this lonesome motel room But I think I won’t leave any time soon I felt a heavy hand on my chest Laid me to bed but I couldn’t rest Troubled soul with a worried mind I pick up my guitar and I take a chug of wine One step ahead, but only in here Constant fear of more despair I met a girl, her name was Emma She comforts me and gets me like my aunt Nora Eased the voices and helped me keep steady But still my thoughts felt, oh, so much heavy I felt a heavy hand on my chest Laid me to bed but I couldn’t rest Troubled soul with a worried mind I pick up my guitar and I take a chug of wine One step ahead, but only in here Constant fear of more despair Troubled soul with a worried mind I pick up my guitar and I take a chug of wine One step ahead, but only in here Constant fear of more despair A spiral that hits me out of control I reckon that I’m hard to console

Millers Cave

Way down in the state of Georgia Amongst the swamps and the Everglades There's a big old hole in Tiger Mountain God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave I had me a girl in Waycross, Georgia But she had unfaithful ways She made me feel I was unwanted Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave I caught her out Sunday morning With some guy they called Big Dave The meanest man in Waycross, Georgia I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave So I said, "You're gonna pay both you and Davy 'Cause I'm gonna see you in your graves" And they laughed at me and then I shot 'em And then I dragged their cheatin' skin and bones to Miller's Cave I couldn't stand the way she did me Well I guess I showed her I was brave Most wanted man in the state of Georgia They're never gonna find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave

Ill Be on My Way

Another War

[Verse 1] Rebels point their loaded causes Into windows where you breathe They don’t grieve the empty losses And they don’t stay to see you bleed Silent threats they scream in the night And the wind cries out in funereal tones You kneel down and pray for the light ‘cause darkness of room won’t leave you alone [Chorus] Conversation on our porches Dead man lying at our back door While the blind men carry torches To light the way for another war [Verse 2] Schoolboy dressed in battle fatigues Has some ancient theory to defend He just got finished playing make believe Now he’s trading stories with the men A loyal soldier knows his order And takes his promise to the grave The battle rages on the border And we send money in freedom’s name [Chorus] Conversation on our porches Dead man lying at our back door While the blind men carry torches To light the way for another war [Bridge] More and more black boots on stakes In front of houses filled with tears We can learn from our mistakes Or just let them pass away with the years [Verse 3] The soldier plays a bamboo flute A song he used to sing at home For a fifteen year old prostitute And teaches her to sing along The song sounds like a lullaby She sings the words of quiet love They could sing that song all night But a knock on the door says time is up [Chorus] Conversation on our porches Dead man lying at our back door While the blind men carry torches To light the way for another war Conversation on our porches Dead man lying at our back door While the blind men carry torches To light the way for another war

O, long before

[Verse 1] In the fights they had he'd cover up his ears Thought big boys don't cry, fought back all the tears Mama had use her make-up, to hide the bruises on his face In the morning they'd pretend that there'd never ever been a trace His old man woke him up to help him find the car Take the bus uptown outside some rundown bar And swore that he was quitting And then he'd start to cry And though the boy knew the truth Sometimes he'd still believe that lie [Verse 2] When the sins of the father are the sins of the son All you do is crawl when you want to run And God gave boys their mamas cause They always see their promise And they help them understand How to walk like a man Walk like a man [Verse 3] They moved a lot of places, they never settled down It got pretty old being the new kid in town He always told his friends, my daddy's sick today Said he'd be rich if he had a nickel every time he heard his mama say [Verse 4] The sins of the father are the sins of the son Crawl before you walk, boy Walk before you run Come on, stand up straight, I'm proud of you Take my hand I know you can Walk like a man Walk like a man [Verse 5] Your daddy's demons are calling your name Don't you listen to them cause they've got no claim Temptations may come, that isn’t no sin You get stronger every time that you don't give in [Verse 6] The sins of the father are the sins of the son You can't undo what has been done You'll have to retrace his footsteps Through the sand And pray you find the love of a girl And take her by the hand And walk on Walk like a man

Short Haired Woman Blues

Cherry Red

[Verse 1] I was thinking back to the first time we met Over plangent chords in a sad vignette You were waving goodbye in a cherry red Corvette And your lips were too Cherry red, that is; with the sky so blue It was almost mean, and your eyes were too So blue, that is; now I am too And my heart burns cherry red for you [Chorus] Now my heart burns cherry red for you Like a fire of Beech wood, the saw don't like it But you get some cut, one match will strike it And the embers glow 'til the wee small hours When the old seems almost new That's when my heart burns cherry red for you [Verse 2] It was cherry red, with the custom flames At the hot rod show, when the Kingsmen came And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame And it shook you too That Corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design Get your picture for a dollar and have it signed First you got yours, then I got mine And my heart burned cherry red for you [Chorus] Now my heart burns cherry red for you Like a fire of Beech wood, the saw don't like it But you get some cut, one match will strike it And the embers glow 'til the wee small hours When the old seems almost new That's when my heart burns cherry red for you [Bridge] That's when my heart burns cherry red My heart burns cherry red That's when my heart burns cherry red for you [Verse 3] Now that fake blue sky, it sure looked real Like you were going to California to make a deal With the God of youth, with the man of steel Waving toodle-loo Now if I was young, I might track you down But this old picture is all I found Now my bones are shakin', my teeth are ground down But my heart burns cherry red for you [Chorus] Yeah my heart burns cherry red for you Like a fire of Beech wood, the saw don't like it But you get some cut, one match will strike it And the embers glow 'til the wee small hours When the old seems almost new That's when my heart burns cherry red That's when my heart burns cherry red That's when my heart burns cherry red for you

I Still Believe In You

[Verse 1] I still remember when I chose to pull the thread Unlearning every word that I had ever read Started a civil war between my heart and head Oh and I have my days I wish I could go back again [Chorus] Nothing is easy now, not like it was before I built my world around something not there anymore And when it all fell down I found it was never true Don't know what I believe but I still believe in you [Verse 2] Surfing the static of an AM radio Same old sermon, same old song It's problematic whеn the world's about to blow And you don't know anything is wrong Oh no, no [Chorus] Nothing is easy now, not like it was bеfore I built my world around something not there anymore And when it all fell down I found it was never true Don't know what I believe but I still believe in you I still believe in you, yeah [Chorus] Nothing is easy now, not like it was before I built my world around something not there anymore And when it all fell down I found it was never true Don't know what I believe but I still believe in you I still believe in you

Toilet Where My Heart Was

I've got a toilet where my heart once was To flush out the bad love That was burying me I sent it all under the city Through old pipes and pretty Soon out to the sea There's a full tank of gas in this little clown car Put your suitcases in We can drive 'til it's morning again If that's alright It's sad to say but there's no doubt Good flows with the bad out And spirals in kind Oh, the toilet where my heart once was Flushed out all the bad love And left nothing behind

My Life’s Been a Pleasure

I still love you as I did in yesterday Many years have gone by though it seems just like a day It's no wonder that I love you you have been so kind and true There will never be another it will always be just you We've come along the way together when you've proved your love is true My life's been a pleasure and it's all because of you And to me you'll always be just as sweet as flowers in May And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday I still love you as I did in yesterday Many years have gone by though it seems just like a day It's no wonder that I love you you have been so kind and true There will never be another it will always be just you And to me you'll always be just as sweet as flowers in May And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday And to me you'll always be just as sweet as flowers in May And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday

American Saturday Night

[Intro] (Whoa oh oh oh) (Whoa oh oh oh) [Verse 1] She's got Brazilian leather boots on the pedal of her German car Listening to The Beatles singing "Back in the USSR" She's going around the world tonight but she ain't leaving here She's just going to meet her boyfriend down at the street fair [Chorus] And it's a French kiss, Italian ice Spanish moss in the moonlight (whoa oh oh oh) Just another American Saturday night [Verse 2] There's a big toga party tonight down at Delta Chi They got Canadian bacon on their pizza pie They got a cooler full of cold Coronas and Amstel Light It's like we're all living in a big old cup Just fire up the blender, mix it all up [Chorus] It's a French kiss, Italian ice Margaritas in the moonlight (whoa oh oh oh) Just another American Saturday night [Bridge 1] You know everywhere has something they're known for Although usually it washes up on our shores My great-great-great-granddaddy stepped off of that ship I bet he never ever dreamed we'd have all this [Bridge 2] You know everywhere has something they're known for Although usually it washes up on our shores Little Italy and Chinatown sitting there side by side Live from New York (It's Saturday Night!) [Chorus] It's a French kiss, Italian ice Spanish moss in the moonlight (whoa oh oh oh) Just another American, I'm just another American And it's just another American Saturday night

Miss Pizazz

[Verse 1] I know she's from the south That don't mean she's sunny She's always got a smile But life's not all that funny Her pain is hard to see Still I bet you even money That when she's all alone And she's always all alone Life looks like a sham To Miss Pizazz from Birmingham [Verse 2] She tries to be the picture that she thinks is in his mind Not too clinging, not too needy Not too fat, not too unkind When that's not enough for him She'll blame herself, and find That when she's all alone And she's always all alone It's all not worth a damn To Miss Pizazz from Birmingham [Chorus] I wish that she could see the way that she appears to me The momеnts that she lets hersеlf be seen I'm sure that she would feel more free To grow to be what she could be Not just a picture from a magazine [Verse 3] When someday she does take wing to frolic in the brew Then she will surely understand what I know to be true To see herself through others' eyes presents a twisted view When you claim life as your own There's no need to feel alone Say "take me as I am," Miss Pizazz from Birmingham [Saxophone Solo] [Chorus] I wish that she could see the way that she appears to me The moments that she lets herself be seen I'm sure she'd feel free to be what she could be Not just a picture from a magazine [Verse 4] When someday she does take wing to frolic in the brew She will surely understand what I know to be true To see yourself through others' eyes presents a twisted view Claim life as your own No need to feel alone Say "take me as I am", Miss Pizazz from Birmingham

Come Thou Fount

[Verse 1] Come thou fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing thy grace Streams of mercy never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise [Chorus 1] Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it Mount of God's redeeming love [Verse 2] Here I raise my Ebenezer Hither by thy help I've come And I hope by thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home [Chorus 2] Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God He to rescue me from danger Interposed His precious blood His precious blood [Verse 3] Oh to grace, how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be Let thy goodness like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to thee [Chorus 3] Prone to wander, Lord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here's my heart, O take and seal it Seal it for thy courts above Above [Outro] Here's my heart, O take and seal it Seal it for thy courts above

Stormy

You are the wind, stormy You're free to be free You are the wind, stormy Come whisper 'round me I've felt you wild, stormy And how gentle you are I've felt you wild, stormy Please don't drift too far No one can hold you You die when they try Reach me with your breath Don't blow right on by Just for this night, stormy Stay, rest from your stride Just for this night, stormy Oh, touch me with light No one can hold you You die when they try Reach me with your breath Don't blow right on by Just for this night, stormy Stay, rest from your stride Just for this night, stormy Oh, touch me with light

Pennies

"Hey Listen Son, you heard this one?" "Knock, knock" "Who's there?" "why did the chicken cross the road?" "Why?" "To get me another beer." "No." "Get me a Beer!" "NO!" "Get a beer out of the fridge!" I predicted this moment you wouldn't say nothin, I bet now you regret pushing the play button As I shuffle through my thoughts, fast forward to now, you struggle to keep it (?) What to say now? It's like I am trying everything not to break down. But, there is only so much a man can take now Our defining moment, there's a new game on the table, only I control it so, try to focus It's hard to understand, what it takes to be a man. You would sell your soul for pennies, just to have the upper hand You say that you're not scared, just afraid to face your fears and if you say something you regret, you can make it disappear But, it all comes down and you fall so far. You built this all for nothing just to watch it fall apart When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart Say your better off, I might as well prove you wrong. I'll show you what i'm worth I guess. I'll write it in a song You left me all alone, guess i might as well move along. Show you what I'm worth I guess, I'll write it in a song I rehearsed what I would tell you when you walked in the room but you look confused. Ain't always easy hearing the truth From the moment we met i was trying my best to make you proud but it seem like you were never impressed Then you yell at me, screaming that you got your to do and you didn't have the time, I was bothering you Is it the money you made? Is it love? Is it hate? I find it funny we here and you have nothing to say So, if that chicken cross the road I hope you jump in its place, while a truck speeding down and he ain't touching the brakes How would you like it if the only door left in the room that you could get through all of a sudden shut in your face? It was warm in the summer but now winter is here. We might have started off happy but we finishing here. You build your ego up until its stuck in the clouds but you bet all those pennies it comes tumbling down and i'll be gone But, it all comes down and you fall so far. You built this all for nothing just to watch it fall apart When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart Say your better off, well I might as well prove you wrong. I'll show you what i'm worth I guess. I'll write it in a song You left me all alone, guess i might as well move along. Show you what I'm worth I guess, I'll write it in a song It's hard to understand, what it takes to be a man. You would sell your soul for pennies, just to have the upper hand You say that you're not scared, just afraid to face your fears and if you say something you regret, you can make it disappear When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart.When it all comes down and falls so far. You built this all for nothing, just to watch it fall apart

The Dead South

Oh pass the rum on down the line it's getting pretty cold It's been nine straight days of hell and burning fires in the snow And I haven't seen my baby since that old black ship set sail Still we're holding out 'till winter dies and hoping our strength prevails (instrumental) The full moon peaks around the clouds as the grey wolves cry The hour's getting late and we've drunk every bottle dry Just one more march from dusk 'till dawn 'till we finally arrive At the gates of those who long ago burned our houses and took our lives CHORUS: And we'll sing "We are the Dead South who came across the sea To take back our lives and leave this land of misery Our will is our weapon our hearts forever bound Come on now tilt your bottle back and let’s go grab another round” The wind is at our back the ground is shaking at our feet Marching for the gates we pray the lord my soul to keep For if we ever get ourselves out from this mess alive I'll be singing this song for years to say I'm happy we survived

Im Gonna Wait

[Chorus: Liz Hodder & Joe Pisapia] I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait Until you're ready I'm gonna wait [Chorus: Hodder & Pisapia] I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait Until you're ready I'm gonna wait [Verse: Hodder & Pisapia] I'll never give up until you're ready I'll never give up, I'm always there I'll never give up until you're ready Until you're ready I will always be there [Bridge: Hodder & Pisapia] 'Cause I'm in love with you And that's hard for me to do I know in time you'll see That you are in love with me too [Verse: Hodder & Pisapia] I'll never give up until you're ready I'll never give up, I'm always there I'll never give up until you're ready Until you're ready I will always be there [Pre-Chorus: Hodder & Pisapia] Until you're ready I will always be there [Chorus: Hodder & Pisapia] I'm gonna wait I'm gonna wait Until you're ready I'm gonna wait

Our Song Live from SoHo

[Intro] One, two [Verse 1] Well, I was riding shotgun with my hair undone In the front seat of his car He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel The other on my heart I look around, turn the radio down He says, "Baby, is something wrong?" I say, "Nothing, I was just thinking How we don't have a song" And he says [Chorus] Our song is the slamming screen door Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have" And when I got home 'fore I said amen Asking God if he could play it again [Verse 2] I was walking up the front porch steps After everything that day Had gone all wrong and been trampled on And lost and thrown away Got to the hallway, well on my way To my lovin' bed I almost didn't notice all the roses And the note that said [Chorus] Our song is the slamming screen door Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'Cause it's late and your mama don't know Our song is the way you laugh The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have" And when I got home 'fore I said amen Asking God if he could play it again Da da da da [Bridge] Well, I've heard every album, listened to the radio Waited for something to come along That was as good as our song [Chorus] 'Cause our song is the slamming screen door Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window When we're on the phone and he talks real slow 'Cause it's late and his mama don't know Our song is the way he laughs The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have" And when I got home 'fore I said amen Asking God if he could play it again Play it again Oh yeah Oh oh yeah [Outro] I was riding shotgun with my hair undone In the front seat of his car I grabbed a pen and an old napkin And I wrote down our song Thank you so much!

Hand Me Downs

[Verse 1] Still have that worn out glove in the back of the closet The one my dad gave to me when I turned 13 He said he'd teach me how to throw that 12-6 curve ball Just like all the pros we watched on TV Senior year my brother went off to college Pops gave me the talk and handed my first set of keys To a bucket of rust, a little beaten up Thought it would break down every mile But somehow it always got from A to B [Chorus] Those hand me downs Didn't mean much back then They sure do now All the memories that I couldn't live without Are still hanging around Those hand me downs [Verse 2] All the finer records sitting up in the attic From Cash and Merle to Patti and Bruce Springsteen I can still hear our voices cutting through the static On those long car ride from Boston to Tennessee [Chorus] Those hand me downs Didn't mean much back then They sure do now All the memories that I couldn't live without Are still hanging around Those hand me downs Those hand me downs Oh [Bridge] His laugh, his grin, his stubbornness And when to give a damn All the lessons learned that made me who I am [Chorus] Those hand me downs Didn't mean much back then They sure do now All the memories that I couldn't live without Are still hanging around Those hand me downs Those hand me downs Oh

Storage Unit

[Verse 1] You were just here in a glimpse You left, made my heart so dim I only see you every minute on a broken clock But I can’t blame you, it’s really not your fault [Verse 2] Sometimes I question if you love me Cause all you do is bring me money But that’s not turning a storage unit full Cause you always go back and fall in the hole [Verse 3] I guess the holidays are different Cause it feels like I’m actually livin’ Make a scene make a dream a wish on the tree With you I feel like a bird set free [Reprise] Oh, Oh [Verse 4] But nothing lasts forevеr Everything changes like thе weather Soon I’ll have to be alone again I might still have time to mend [Chorus] (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah) (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)

Fuller Brush Man

When I was maybe three or four The Fuller Brush man would knock at the door He'd always tell me, "Boy, you're gonna miss the fun! Time you're old enough the honky-tonks'll all be gone." Momma had no sense with cars She drove a Sunbeam and she drove it hard Left her stranded time and again Didn't matter, you could do that then And they danced on the rooftops Let their hearts run wild Such a sight to the eyes of a child We were used to all the best The man from U.N.C.L.E. and the Wild, Wild West We ruled the skies from a backyard swing Nothing that flies could've stopped that thing While they danced on the rooftops Let their hearts run wild Such a sight to the eyes of a child Blood-stained blacktops twist up between the wheels Before we knew it it was all too real The voice of reason confined to the past And all that mattered was to get there fast So we could dance on the rooftops Let our hearts run wild (hearts run wild) Should it all come down to your last thin dime You can dial that number one more time But the phone won't ring 'cause the line's gone dead It's lost in history Like I said, it's gone So now we give it all we got Pick em up at daycare in a state of shock Frayed at the edges and torn at the seams It rarely happens in our wildest dreams That we dance on the rooftops, let our hearts run wild And it ain't for the sake of the child You don't too often see a sunbeam anymore You never see a Fuller Brush man or a dinosaur The voice of reason rules with an iron fist Please forgive me if I'm not prepared to handle this

You Irishmen and women too, draw near, both young and old A doleful lamentation now to you I will unfold With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh One hundred gallant Irishmen, we are left for to deplore Whose bodies fell a-victim upon fair Columbia's shore With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh It was at the siege of New Orleans, upon the ninth of May Our countrymen they suffered so upon that fatal day With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh They were engaged by five to one when charged on with the steel But Erin's sons did loudly cry, we'll die before we kneel With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh They were repulsed, they could not stand, exertion proved in vain They strove to break the enemy's force, and drive them from the plain With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh But alas their number it was too small and it gave them no fair play Not one of them did near escape upon that fatal day With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh To see the streets that evening, each heart would rend with pain The human blood in rivers ran that can it flood a stream With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh Men's heads blown off their bodies most dismal for to see And wounded men did loudly cry with pain and agony With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh The federals they did then advanced and broken through the town They trampled dead and wounded men that lay upon the ground With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh The wounded called for mercy but none they did receive They numbered them among the dead and threw them in the grave With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh Three hundred killed and wounded that then lay in their grave One half of them were Irishmen far from their native shore With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh Poor orphans now they may weep and cry and parents through the day They let their lovely children go on to Americay With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh For ye that hear those doleful lines, do not neglect to toil An they everfore enlighten good on St. Patricks Isle With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh And a drink upon our countrymen who left their native shore Their friends may mourn for their loss they'll never see them more With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh Now to conclude with these few lines, with grief I'll say no more You know it was through poverty they left their native shore With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh They had no one to heal their wounds, may angels them surround Before the throne of heaven may they wear a brilliant crown With me too-rai-ah, m'faddle-deedle-da, too-rai-ar-rai-faddle-eedle-da, too-nai-doh

Crooked Tree

Crooked tree hides the moon, wheels are rusting over too Time is running out on you, just the way your lovers do So autumn fell and let you loose, from summers warm embrace of you Scared of what you’ll say or do in a winter too cold to tell the truth Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down And yeah it’s easy blending in, when love might bleed you dry again But I know you’ve got a thicker skin, thick enough to keep it all in So burst into the light with me, and show the world you’re finally free You are not burdened by your beast, while you sing she holds your grief Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down I’ll drink myself navy blue And my friends they’ll say “it’s overdue!” But I see no fun in letting loose When holding you was tried and true Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down Come on around, come on around I won’t let me let you down

Beautiful Mess

She was born on New Year’s Day There wasn’t time for any celebration Only animals to guide her way You might say that she learned something from them She orders double Manhattans And then she wonders what happens Well is it love that she’s after She’s never sure She was sitting in her same old place I only knew her by her reputation And the glitter smeared across her face I knew then that it was leading somewhere And when we got back to her place She asked me what she wear I made my eyes look away oh Lord You know it’s so rude to stare I said “You could wear your best lingerie Or your cutest little black dress for me Either way I couldn’t care less You look your best when you look like a beautiful mess" A beautiful mess A beautiful mess A beautiful mess A beautiful I used to live my life so clean I never thought I’d see a dust storm coming But you took my nose and made me say yes Turned my life into a beautiful mess oh no A beautiful mess oh no A beautiful mess oh no A beautiful mess Now hear me coming now hear me coming for you Beautiful Beautiful

My Favorite Goodbye

I ran out of excuses On the twenty-third of March Had to look the truth straight in the eye She didn’t say a word She just walked away It’s always been my favorite goodbye Now when you read this letter I’ll be a million miles away You can’t reach me no matter how you try Remember summer days And the way I made you laugh It’s always been my favorite goodbye Look back, look back She heard me call She took everything but time Look back, look back There’s nothing left Time takes еverything but love Now I wander through thе seasons Like a ghost out of a book I never feel the moments passing by Sometimes I think I see her Disappearing around the corner It’s always been my favorite goodbye Some will leave the money On the bureau as they’re leaving Others look so sad you think they’ll cry She left like a fading note In a children’s melody It’s always been my favorite goodbye Look back, look back She heard me call She took everything but time Look back, look back There’s nothing left Time takes everything but love Do you want a blindfold Said the captain of the guard To the prisoner who was condemned to die The soldier shook his head And he gave a little smile It’s always been my favorite goodbye

Keep Me From Blowing Away

[Verse 1] Well, I've spent my whole lifetime In a world where the sunshine Found excuses for not hangin' 'round And I've squandered emotions At the slightest of notions On the first easy woman I found But soon all the good times The gay times, the play times Like colors run together and fade Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] There's times when I tremble When my mind remembers The days that just crumbled away With nothing to show But these lines that I know Are beginning to show in my face Oh Lord, if you're listenin' I know I'm no Christian And I ain't got much comin' to me So send down some sunshine And throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away [Tag] Yeah send down some sunshine And throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away

Killing the Blues

Leaves were falling just like embers In colors red and gold, they set us on fire Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues Now I'm guilty of something I hope you never do, because there is nothing Sadder than losing yourself in love Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues Now you ask me just to leave you To go out on my own and get what I need to You want me to find what I've already had Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues Somebody said they saw me Swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud Killing the blues
