Talking About Love
03:26
|
|||
|
I’m talking about love, I can’t get enough I think about it first thing in the morning when I’m waking up.
Well it’s me and maybe you, we could be friends for a while maybe share a smile or two.
But now I don’t want to be your man, you wouldn’t want me if you knew me in the morning, I think you’ll understand.
Because it’s change the only constant change, well you can hold it as tight as you’d like, but it won’t remain.
Everything is changing oh you know it’s changing
These thoughts are re-arranging man they’re changing every day.
I’m saved by grace, and I’m saved by truth. I guess the day that you left I was saved by you.
Well I’m ain’t worried, and I’m not mad. When I get down I just think about all the good times we had.
In this old house I got all these friends. Everyone knows down here at Graceland the party never ends.
Well Ebee’s crying and my Barkley’s dead. Well I’m in the middle of the road in the rain I hung my head.
Watching this world changing. Oh you know it’s changing
These thoughts are re-arranging man they’re changing everyday.
Well I don’t want to change.
Well not tonight can we hold each other tight just like we use to do,
And in the morning light, well you can run as far way as you like
I swear that I won’t follow you.(but I want to)
Well we watch this world changing. Oh you know it’s changing
These thoughts are re-arranging man they’re changing every day.
Oh they’re changing everyway.
Oh man they change, they change, they change.
I just wish they’d stay the same.

Funny How Life Goes
04:41
|

|
Flat tire, stubbed my toe, lost my money and now I’m broke.
Ain’t it funny how life sometimes goes.
Well wed locked and I’m divorced elevators and locked doors.
Ain’t it funny how life sometimes goes.
I’m stuck in church, left in hell, my bedroom or my jail cell.
Ain’t it funny how life sometimes goes.
In my car or on my feet down the road, or up the street.
Ain’t it funny how life sometimes goes.
And it’s funny how life sometimes goes.
Life goes good, bad, late great, it’s hard but never ever hate.
It’s mean, clean, crude, obscene, wonder how we ever got this way.
Well I don’t know oh, but it is funny how life can sometimes goes.
Here we go now!
Well a broken arm and a broken heart, I’m feeling lost right from the start.
You know it’s funny how life goes.
Well I’m feeling old, looking young I’m acting smart, but really dumb.
You know it’s just so funny how life can go.
Well I love the ladies, love yourself, not every body gets to keep their souls.
It’s funny how life goes.
Well I’m being here and leaving there, it’s fishing boats and rocking chairs.
You know it’s just so funny how life can go.
And it’s funny how life can sometimes go.
Life goes good, bad, late great it’s hard but never ever hate.
It’s mean, clean, crude, obscene, wonder how we ever got this way.
Well I don’t know oh, but it is funny how life can sometimes go
Well it’s the end of the world no love inside everybody you know is gonna die.
It’s funny how life can sometimes go.
Hollywood movie a poor mans dream. Cigarettes and gasoline.
Ain’t in funny how life can sometimes go.
Well a smile on my face a barefoot race me and my best friend getting stoned.
Listening to some folk n roll.
We say hello just to say goodbye a song that makes you want to cry the notes.
But you know ain’t it funny how life goes.
And it’s funny how life sometimes goes
Life goes good, bad, late great, it’s hard but never ever hate.
It’s mean clean, crude, obscene wonder how we ever got this way.
Well I don’t know oh, but it is funny how life can sometimes go.
You might not think so right now, but you don’t know.
You feel like the world is laughing and you missed the punch line to the joke.
But I tell my friend it’s just so funny how life can sometimes goooo!

Goin Back

Well some they make the best of things and I’m trying really hard,
But a person can only do so much they can only get so far, without a little help,
If I do say so myself. I’m only laying here with you cause I ain’t got nobody else.
And I‘ve been fighting with my mind to give me a false sense of feelin just find,
But I’m lying and my mind is too smart to trick.
I’m goin’ back, back, back to where I came from
These tears, fears, and regrets are what this place is made of.
It’s the only thing I’ve ever been afraid of, and
I’m goin’ back, back, back to where I came from
Well call me selfish, call me scared my mind says get out of here a live.
I ain’t got no place to go these fences force me to hit the streets,
And wander down some long road. Well I don’t know about a lot of things.
I don’t know too much of anything at all, and if I fall I’m goin down.
Oh shit I’m going downnn. I gotta get out of this town. I gotta to get out of town.
I’m goin’ back, back, back to where I came from
These tears, fears, and regrets are what this place is made of.
It’s the only thing I’ve ever been afraid of, and
I’m goin’ back, back, back to where I came from
These tears, fears, and regrets are what this place is made of.
It’s the only thing I’ve ever been afraid of, and
I’m goin’ back, back, back to where I came from
I’m goin’ back, back, back to where I came from

Back Down To You
04:00
|
|||
|
Let me start this one off with a quo-ote.
For twenty dollars that says I love you the most.
And when I win, I’ll spend it all on you.
We’ll walk around this town and do everything you want to.
And if I get mean when I drink.
In the morning don’t you be mad at me.
Maybe I get too drunk, and just a little bit too fucked up,
But it’s all these things that bring me down.
Maybe I get too drunk, and just a little bit too fucked up,
But it’s all these things that bring me down.
Back down to you.
Yeah now don’t think that I would rather, that I would rather be girl
Than right next to you with you right next to meee.
It’s quite possible that you’re the prettiest thing that I’ve ever seen.
You got me stunned as if you just spun and fell off of a magazine.
Maybe I get too drunk, and just a little bit too fucked up,
But it’s all these things that bring me down.
Maybe I get too drunk, and just a little bit too fucked up,
but it’s all these things that bring me down.
Back down to you.
And I’ll try my best to make you happy.
I’ll try my best to make you smile
If your not happy with this current situation
you know I’ll change your mind somehow.
Don’t feel self conscious when your in front of me naked
You know I see no wrong in you.
You know it’s true.
I’m very happy with this current situation.
You know I’m happy as long as I got you.
I’m happy as long as I got you.

Loved Me All Up
02:55
|
|||
|
On my way out of town, just a quarter tank of gas.
Well we’re gonna have to run it dry so we better get there fast.
Out on the road hitch a ride as we go.
Well I gotta get away form this town. I gotta get from it all.
And I’m feelin high, but it’s not from the marijuana smoke.
I thought it was your love, but now I know that was just a joke.
You loved me all up! You loved me all up!
You loved me all up and I ain’t never comin down!
Well you loved me all up! You loved me all up!
You loved me all up and I ain’t never comin down!
Now I’m sittin in some clouds just some where high above.
Sometimes I’d like to come down, but some thing keeps me up.
And the view, and the view from up here it’s enough to make a grown man cry.
But it does not compare to that look in your eye.
When you lied and said that everything was fine.
When you lied and said for the rest of your life!
You loved me all up! You loved me all up!
You loved me all up and I ain’t never comin down!
You loved me all up! You loved me all up!
You loved me all up and I ain’t never comin down!
Well I hope that I never see you again.
I hope that these clouds stick around till the end.
I hope that you’re happy and that you do great.
But you’re bringing me down and I have to escape.

I could cry about gas prices, I could cry about love.
I could cry about the war in Iraq, and I could cry just because.
I could cry for the sick and, I could cry for the broken hearted.
I could cry about the girls I’ve loved and, I could cry about global warming.
But I ain’t no cry baby I ain’t gonna cry no tears at all.
So dry your eyes because round here we don’t’ cry no tears at all.
I could cry when I’m mad and, I could cry when my house exploded.
I could cry about a goddamn President and, I could cry until I’m floatin.
I could cry about the police and, I could cry because I’m stuck in Paris.
I could cry because we all have to die and I could cry but, I’d be embarrassed.
But I ain’t no cry baby I ain’t gonna cry no tears at all.
So dry your eyes because round here we don’t’ cry no tears at all.
I could cry when I’m broke and, I could cry when you’re mean.
I could cry for all the blind and, I could cry for all I’ve seen.
I could cry for Jesus Christ and, I could cry for poor ole Satan.
I could cry for every guy who had to die in all the movies made by Wes Craven.
I could cry yeah awh cry all night and, all day long. Ohoo ohoo
I could cry, I could cry, I could cry but, what’s that gonna solve?
Not a goddamn thing!
But I ain’t no cry baby I ain’t gonna cry no tears at all.
So dry your eyes because round here we don’t’ cry no tears at all.
But I ain’t no cry baby I ain’t gonna cry no tears at all.
So dry your eyes because round here we don’t’ cry no tears at all.

Helicopter Sins
04:13

|
Tonight could be your last night on this earth. Are your sins accounted for?
Are you at one with yourself or have you gave in to the man who stands behind your eyes?
Oh is this happening to me I just can’t refuse my destiny. My destiny.
Oh baby I hope I don’t give it all away I seen the dead in me tonight.
Helicopters take my sins away as we purge into the night
Strength and unity for this peaceful flight
Are you one with yourself or have you gave in to the man with the blue suit with the gun and badge in his hand
Oh is this happening to me I just can’t refuse my destiny. My destiny.
Oh baby I hope I don’t give it all away I seen the dead in me tonight.

Don't Remember Me
04:36

Do you remember the day when my dog ran away and you chased him around the whole neighborhood.
Or the day that he died and I held you and cried here lies the best dog in the world.
Like our lease and our love like most things it ran up I guess I really didn’t try hard enough.
Well I suppose I didn’t make a good impression.
Maybe you lost, maybe you lost your short term memory.
Well I can tell by your face that in this here certain case.
That you don’t remember me!
On the night we awoke for the house to explode we was naked, helpless, muddy and cold.
Or the night you got stuck drank too much and threw up I still gave you all the love I had to give.
In Lone Oak you passed out and we slept on the couch so cute with that scar on your nose.
Well I suppose I didn’t make a good impression.
Maybe you lost, maybe you lost your short term memory.
Well I can tell by your face that in this here certain case.
That you don’t remember me!
Having way too much fun down two seventy one well these yellow stripes are setting me free.
Manchester Tennessee where you made love to me in the shower I never felt so clean.
My last night spent with you left my soul torn in two I don’t think you cried one damn tear.
Well I suppose I didn’t make a good impression.
Maybe you lost, maybe you lost your short term memory.
Well I can tell by your face that in this here certain case.
That you don’t remember me!

San Marcos Dream
02:18

|
Well I’m waking up from my favorite dream all night long my San Marcos queen.
In my mind she still loves me still wants me to be her king.
In my false reality I know she’s coming home wherever I may be.
I know that I’m crazy filled with false hope and all these illusions.
Maybe I’ve seen too many movies. Man I hope she’s coming back.
She’s so mean, she’s so sweet, she says she don’t but I know she loves me.
And I see her everyday, but if she don’t see me well I’ll be ok.
Well her bare feet they dance for me all night long my San Marcos dream.
I know that I’m crazy filled with false hope and all these illusions.
Maybe I’ve seen too many movies. Man I hope she’s coming back.
You’ve got your dog who needs this man but I won’t sit down by your feet I’ll stand.
All these songs I’ve wrote for you and every single word is almost true.
It’s all good as you would say I’ll just close my eyes and let it fade away.
I know that I’m crazy filled with false hope and all these illusions.
Maybe I’ve seen too many movies. Man I hope she’s coming back.

At night when I’m sleepin my dreams they haunt me.
They’re coming for me well I can feel it’s breath on the back of my neck.
Look after all my friends. Don’t let the end disregard.
That I’m having the best time of my life.
I’m not dying here!
I’ve got more important things to do than that.
I’m not dying here!
From this angle it just looks like that.
Hate’s not my message. Hold your brother up high.
But if he destroys your heart then you gotta get that motherfucker back.
Make sure that we’re all ok don’t take the stress cause it makes it hard
To, have the best time of your life.
I’m not dying here!
I’ve got more important things to do than that.
I’m not dying here!
From this angle it just looks like that.
(Oh man everybody’s talkin every bodys got their head down
All this negativity going around I can’t do this I can’t do that.
I got all these bills to pay man I gotta wake up at six in the morning
I got three kids man they always wake up crying, and hungry.
Looking at their dad, wanting him to them support man.
And God wants ten percent. I can’t find a job,
And they say the worlds gonna end in a couple of years.
Man all this stress and all this stuff I just can’t take it man I just can’t take it
I gotta find a place that I was happy inside maybe when I was a kid many years ago
In a place I didn’t even know about, but I know I’m gonna find I, I’m gonna find it.
I’m gonna cast doubt right out. I’m gonna keep on dreaming, I’m gonna dream, I’m gonna believe
We’re gonna dream, we’re gonna believe, we’re gonna rock-n-roll.)
Woho woho woho…. Woho woho woho…. Woho woho woho…(keep singing in background until the end)
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again.
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again.
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again guys.
And you’re saying and you’re saying you don’t have any friends.
We’re goin back again!
Woho woho woho…. Woho woho whoo…. Woho woho woho…
