Don't Wanna Bring You Down
Can’t seem to find no rhyme or reason
Lord knows that I just can’t explain
Anytime I get that funny feeling
And the whole world’s standing right in our way
I ain’t looking to do what’s easy
But the fruit that hangs low just disappears
We can walk for miles on this road paved with gold
But we won’t do nothing if we’re just standin’ here
Anticipating what’s near
No I don’t wanna bring you down
But I think that we should be travelin’ on
On and on and on and on and on and on, and on yeah
I’m walking slow but I’m movin’
Just tryin’ to keep my head straight
Sometimes it feels just like you’re losin’
And the whole world’s standin’ right in your way
I ain’t looking to do what’s easy
But the fruit that hangs low just disappears
We can walk for miles on this road paved with gold
But we won’t do nothing if we’re just standing here
Anticipating what’s near
No I don’t wanna bring you down
But I think that we should be traveling on
And I don’t wanna bring you down
If the sun don’t shine like you remember
And the air don’t smell quite as sweet
When you think too much and you’re losin’ touch
Gotta get some more motion way down in your feet
I ain’t looking to do what’s easy
But the fruit that hangs low just disappears
We can walk for miles on this road paved with gold
But we won’t do nothing if we’re just standing here
Anticipating what’s near
And I don’t wanna bring you down
But I think that we should be travelin’ on
No I don’t wanna bring you down
And I think that we should be travelin’ on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on on and on and on yeah! -
The Butcher's Daughter
Here i was minding my own business
Sipping lemonade one hot summer day
On the blacktop melted in New York City
Full of pity with hardly but a word to say
From the corner of my view she was shady
Holding daisies walking high like a cool drink of water
In her sundress the butcher’s daughter
Nobody caught her
Nobody taught her that she could cry
She sold me on being her only
I was too lonely to understand why
And slowly she came on showed me
There was a story behind her eyes
There was no slip in her step
No end to her depth
I was mesmerized, pressurized
My sanity was jeopardized
She was shade and fully made
Put together like a work of art, a museum treasure
And I was too far gone
She sold me on being her only
I was too lonely to understand why
And slowly she came on showed me
There was a story behind her eyes
I’m gonna keep on running hotter
I’m gonna keep on running hotter
I’m gonna keep on running hotter, hotter, hotter, hotter
She sold me on being her only
I was too lonely to understand why
And slowly she came on showed me
There was a story behind her eyes
She sold me on being her only
I was too lonely to understand why
And slowly she came on showed me
There was a story behind her eyes -
Strung out on the Pain
Three days three nights it’s been another fight
Sometimes it’s better than being alone
So long, goodbye
It’s been a hard ride
Yeah but darlin’ don’t you know
I’ll see you when I get back home
Get back home
Calling I hear you calling
Might be the last time babe I catch you falling
Two hearts that feel no shame
Strung out on the pain
Strung out on the pain
It’s fine
You’re right, been up all night
Yeah sometimes, I don’t know what I’m here for
But it’s your way
Or no way and it’s another day
To listen to the silence between another slamming door
I can’t take no more
Calling I hear you calling
Might be the last time babe
I catch you falling
Two hearts that feel no shame
Strung out on the pain
Strung out on the pain
I hear you calling
Calling I hear you calling
Won’t be the last time babe
I catch you falling
Two hearts that feel no shame
Two hearts that feel no shame
Two hearts that feel no shame
Strung out on the pain -
Born to Be Blue
Well I took off started running
I was so sly without cunning
So far gone
I laid here alone
And don’t you think I think it’s not funny
From below
Gold and silver shows up pure as snow
Just like everybody starts out from below
Scratching dirty dealing slow and low
You know it’s all about the solar flow
And I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
From below
The sound that saves your body from the cold
And borrows what you breathe till you’re on your own
Breaking up the sky from soil to soul
You know
I was cut from the cornerstone
And I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
From below
Gold and silver shows up pure as snow
Just like everybody starts out from below
Scratching dirty dealing slow and low
You know it’s all about the solar flow
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue
I was born, born to be blue
Born to be blue -
The Door
Caught up in the moment from the moment that I met you
If I was someone else
there’d been a chance I could have kept you
You don’t wanna hear it anymore
California’s calling like a million times before
Turn around and listen
Can’t you see you’re missing so much more
How do you leave when you never even closed the door
Winter had its way with you
Lead you like a child
Bathed you in the sunshine
Dressed you in denial
You don’t wanna think about the past
California dreaming
It ain’t never gonna last
Turn around and listen
Can’t you see you’re missing so much more
How do you leave when you never even closed the door
If you wanna fly away
Fly away I’ll let you go
If you come on back to me
I’ll never say I told you so
You don’t wanna hear that anymore
Tennessee is waiting like a million times before
Turn around and listen
Boy you know you’re missing so much more
How do you leave
How do you leave when you never even found the door…the door -
Full Circle and Then Some
Listen to me baby
I got a lot on my mind
You know I just got back
Put myself on your map
And it’s time that I made you mine
I been backed into a corner once or twice
I’ve been thrown into the fire, sacrificed
Everything for you baby
Everything just ain’t good enough this time around
You know I spent a long time wondering
If you were ever coming back again
You know I spent a long time hoping and praying
Ooh baby baby you would still be my friend
After all is said and done
There ain’t no maybe baby you were the only one
No more life on the run
No more life on the run
No more life on the run
We’ve come full circle and then some
Listen to me baby, I ain’t got nothing to hide
I spent ten long years without shedding a tear
I believe that it’s time I cried
I been up against the wall, half my life,
I’ve been waiting for the fall, every time
you walked into the door
Can’t stand the thought of you walking out once more
You know I spent a long time wondering
If you were ever coming back again
You know I spent a long time hoping and praying
Oh baby, baby you would still be my friend
After all is said and done
There ain’t no maybe baby you were the only one
No more life on the run
I said, no more life on the run
No more life on the run
We’ve come full circle and then some
You know I spent a long time wondering
If you were ever coming back again
You know I spent a long time hoping and praying
Oh baby, baby you would still be my friend
After all is said and done
There ain’t no maybe baby you were the only one
No more life on the run
No more life on the run
No more life on the run
We’ve come full circle and then some -
Dandelion
Dandelion why you crying?
You been crying for so long
While you’re sleeping
You’re still weeping
Dandelion what’s gone wrong?
Holy roller can’t control her
Can’t control her love anymore
Every morning
There’s no warning
Holy roller can you find the cure
You just smolder
As you grow colder
You’re burning out just the same
If you don’t like the fire
You better let go of the flame
I could ask you
Ask you sweetly
Will you listen to me dear
In the meadow tall stilettos
Sink down in the mud
Just can’t get free
You just smolder
As you grow colder
You’re burning out just the same
If you don’t like the fire
You better let go of the flame
Just let go of the flame
If you whisper darling sister
Just you whisper the night away
Dandelion so defiant
You light up the night while you destroy the day
You just smolder
As you grow colder
You’re burning out just the same
If you don’t like the fire
You better let go of the flame -
Goddamn Hurricane
We got word just the other day
Big wind is coming and we can’t stay
My papa said this time we’re moving away
from the Goddamn hurricane
No more boudan or jambalaya
Houston ain’t known for their red beans and rice
And what they call gumbo oughta be a crime
The Goddamn hurricane
And the wind did blow through the bayou vermillion
And I don’t know
If I’ll ever see you again
My little Creole girl
Won’t ever be the same
Oh the Goddamn hurricane
She come running through the turkey grass
Dark hair and eyes with skin to match
We cried a little bit then she started to laugh
About the Goddamn hurricane
No more dancing to the zydeco
You better get used to the Tejano
She said she’s going to her auntie’s up in Tupelo
The Goddamn hurricane
And the wind did blow through the bayou vermillion
And I don’t know
If I’ll ever see you again
My little Creole girl
Won’t ever be the same
Oh the Goddamn hurricane
And the wind did blow through the bayou vermillion
And I don’t know
If I’ll ever see you again
My little Creole girl
Won’t ever be the same
Oh the Goddamn hurricane -
Long Lost Friend
I spent all my time and money
Got the sting but not the honey
It takes a fool to prove he ain’t got nothing to lose
I don’t dream the way I used to
I can’t make these stories come true
Well I burned the bridge, I’m still lighting the fuse
You were the only one
Who’d never break when we bend
But I’m still holding the pieces of a letter I never did send
How long will you regret it
Sounds so sweet I could hardly forget it
Oh it killed me when you said it
Again and again and again
Love you like a long lost friend
I’ve been climbing out the basement
Squared my bad debt paid a month’s rent
Trying to make up for
So many lost days
And I hope you know I’m sorry
And you never have to worry
If you let me back
I’ll never let you go
Beyond a second chance I have been so blind
But I do believe you’re my partner in crime
How long will you regret it
Sounds so sweet I could hardly forget it
Oh it killed me when you said it
Again and again and again
Love you like a long lost friend
How long will you regret it
Sounds so sweet I could hardly forget it
Oh it killed me when you said it
Again and again and again
How long will you regret it
Sounds so sweet I could hardly forget it
Oh it killed me when you said it
Again and again and again
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend
Love you like a long lost friend -
One of Them
I never knew I was one of them
Cut the rope when your ship come in
Watch you sink while I swim
I never knew I was one of them
I never knew I could act that way
Tell me your secret then I give it away
Watch you work while I sleep all day
I never knew I could act that way
But God knows that I try
To tell it like it is if I talk at all
Get my feet moving when I hear the call
Walk a straight line on needles and pins
Cause I don’t wanna be one of them
I never knew I was one of them
Turn my back on a lonely friend
Let you lose so I can win
I never knew I was one of them
I never knew I could act like that
Shake you hand and then pat your back
And make you believe it’s a matter of fact
I never knew I could act like that
But God knows that I try
To tell it like it is if I talk at all
Get my feet moving when I hear the call
Walk a straight line on needles and pins
Cause I don’t wanna be one of them
Ever found yourself
Talkin about somebody else
In the back of your mind you knew
You were talking about yourself
Have you ever told a lie
And believed it was the truth
Oh, I’m telling you friend
Don’t be one of them
God knows that I try
To tell it like it is if I talk at all
Get my feet moving when I hear the call
Walk a straight line on needles and pins
Cause I don’t wanna be
Don’t wanna be
I just don’t wanna be one of them -
Low Down Country Song
I spent the weekend on my back
It’d take a week to tell the story of that
It was first rack, black jack, fast track, late night snack
So listen Jack
A Friday Favor to a friend
A streak of bad breaks that just won’t mend
He dropped his lady luck, moonstruck, dump truck of worn out blues
He didn’t choose
There’s something I was supposed to do
Pack it on in and bring it straight on home to you, yes it’s true
Well my heart’s in the right
And my head says do no wrong
I should have just come home that night
And I’m feeling like a messed up two-time loser in a low down country song
I spent the weekend on the town
Nothing royal bout my crown
Double time, fine dime, red wine, in my prime
And it ain’t no crime
One long lost Saturday
Like a wandering wasted stray
A drop out too proud dark shroud matinee
I don’t play
There’s something I was supposed to do
To pack it on in and bring it straight on to you
Well my Heart’s in the right
My head says do no wrong
I should have just come home that night
And I’m feeling like a messed up two-time loser in a low down country song
So why’d you do it?
Why’d You do it?
Talking sharp and you cut right to it
I see through it
You know I see through it
Put down your words I need you to prove it
Well my Heart’s in the right
My head says do no wrong
And I’m feeling like a messed up two-time loser in a low down country song
Well my heart’s in the right
My head says do no wrong
I should have just come home that night
And I’m feeling like a messed up two-time loser in a no good do wrong low down country song
It’s jt a low down, low down
A low down, it’s a low down
country song
It’s a low down, talking about a low down
country song -
Paving the Road
You may be a sweet thing but you cut to the bone
You were raised on fire and fortified in stone
And there’s no relief and there’s no repair
You could steamroll a freight train with an empty stare
And there’s no relief and there’s no repair
I've seen you pull beauty and laughter right out of thin air
I hear you cry like a baby, baby
You're love is lazy until I'm strong
Now I'm weak and I'm tired from paving the road that you're on
I hear you cry like a baby, baby
You're love is lazy until I'm strong
Now I'm weak and I'm tired from paving the road that you're on
You may be an angel and sharpen like steel
Darkness walks behind you waiting to make a deal
And there’s no relief and there’s no repair
Scolded by the devils hand and justified with prayer
And there’s no relief and there’s no repair
I may have paved the way for you
But to follow you goes nowhere
I hear you cry like a baby, baby
You're love is lazy until I'm strong
Now I'm weak and I'm tired from paving the road that you're on
I hear you cry like a baby, baby
You're love is lazy until I'm strong
Now I'm weak and I'm tired from paving the road that you're on
Paving the road that you’re on
