Kenny Wayne Shepherd

It's warm inside
Let's take a midnight drive
I wanna know ya, really know ya
It's an open road
Let's see how far it goes
I wanna show ya, baby let me show ya
High flyin' low
Don't you wanna go
On a slow ride
It's cold outside
But there's fire in your eyes
I wanna hold you, let me hold you
Won't lose my nerve
On those dangerous curves
When we get rollin', really rollin'
Slide on in, don't keep me in suspense
Let's get movin'...slow movin'
We can make it last, ain't no need to go
Too fast
When we're groovin', soul groovin'

Where do you go after midnight
When all the doors should be closed
Your alibis just don't sound right
I asked but nobody knows
How can you look me in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
Someone's been sleepin' in my bed
This room don't smell like you and me
Who's that been sneakin' out the window
Do you think I'm too blind to see
When you look me in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With those true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, I'm gettin' wise
To your true lies
You been doin' this so long now
You're thinkin' it's the truth
I guess it don't seem wrong if it
Ain't bein' done to you
Gotta lot to learn, baby
You can't keep it down
Word gets in the wind
Then it's bound to blow back around
Girl, can you give me a reason
Bet you don't even know why
Can't figure out what you're thinkin'
Or what it is you're tryin' to justify
When you look me in the eyes
nd make it sound so very nice
With your true lies
It was a clever disguise
But, girl, I'm gettin' wise
To your true lies
You can laugh, you can cry
But, girl, I just can't buy
Those true lies

night
falls and i'am alone
skin
yeah chilled me to the bone
you
turned and you ran
oh yea
oh slipped
right from my hand
Blue on black
tears on a river
push on a shove
it don't mean much
Joker on jack
match on a fire
cold on ice
as a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
doesn't mean a thing
won't bring you back
blue on black

blind
oh now i see
truth
lies and inbetween
wrong
can't be undone
slipped
from the tip of your tongue

Blue on black
tears on a river
push on a shove
it don't mean much
Joker on jack
match on a fire
cold on ice
as a dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
doesn't mean a thing
won't bring you back
blue on black

Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving,
Ain't no use joking,
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
Streets are filled with broken hearts.
Broken words never meant to be spoken,
Everything is broken
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Thangs fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking,
Everything is broken

Will I live tomorrow
Well, I just can't say
Will I live tomorrow
Well, I just can't say
But I know for sure
I don't live today

No sun coming through my windows
Felt like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave
No sun coming through my window
Felt like I'm sitting at the bottom of a grave
I wish you'd hurry up and rescue me
So I can be on my miserable way.

I don't live today
It's such a shame
To waste your time away like this
Will I live tomorrow
Well, I just can't say
Will I live tomorrow
Well, I just can't say
But I know for sure
I don't live today.

Girl, I see you in my dreams
It happens every day and night now
Got me going to extremes
Don't seem to care what's wrong or right now
Make ya mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
You say I'm really not your kind
Guess I look a little rough now
If I could give you everything, girl
Would it ever be enough now
You'll be mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
Makes me wonder what's goin' on
When the night rolls in
Something happens that feels so strong
And I just can't pretend
Don't you wonder what's goin' on
When the night rolls in
Something happens that feels so strong
And it will happen again
So, you can turn and walk away
But I know you would regret it
If I ever had my way
Do you think you could forget it
Gonna happen someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
You'll be mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway

When I look in your eyes, I know it's true
My life was lonely, btoken and blue
Then I found love, when I found you
Once in a lifetime, that's how it feels
Something so good (so damn good)
How can it be real
Girl, when you touch me
You touch me through and through
I know I found love when I found you
Girl, you've got all of me
And I want you to know
There's nothin' in this crazy ol' world
Could make me wanna let you go
'Cause I found love when I found you
Everytime I look into your eyes, I know it's true
Girl, when you touch me
You touch me through and through
I know I found love, when I found you

Walkin' down king's highway
With a brown paper bag in my hand
Nothin' else but the clothes I got on
But I ain't lookin' back
I ain't lookin' back
Blame it on the midnight girl
And that wicked spell she cast
She pulled me in with them liquid eyes
Now I ain't looking back
I ain't lookin' back
Oh what a tangled web she weaves
I was losing my mind
Starin' down the barrel of a gun
It's just a matter of time
Walkin' down king's highway
Black cat crossin' my path
I know that's her trying to make me stay
But, I ain't looking back
I ain't looking back
King's Highway
I got to travel that
King's Highway

God we must be crazy
The whole world's been falling apart
I've never seen so much suffering
Or so many broken hearts

And how people can hurt each other
Lord I swear by the stars above
Ain't got nothing to do with love
Ain't got nothing to do with love

You say you want my money
You wanna buy you a brand new car
You say you love me honey
I ain't seen no proof so far

'Cause the way you've been treating me darling
Doin' things I've never heard of
It ain't got nothing to do with love
It ain't got nothing to do with love

God we must be crazy
The whole world's been falling apart
I ain't never seen so much misery
Or so many broken hearts

How people can kill each other
In the name of the Lord above

It ain't got nothing to do with love
Nothing to do with love

Nothing to do with love...

I was caught
I was out of excuses
But I was not
Above relearning all the rules
Yeah, I found out the hard way
(There) Ain't no colour to the blues
(Now) You can have
All the oil in Arabia
You can have
All the French girls out in France
It won't alter the basic equation
Ain't gaonna change to circumstance
Love, love, love, love, love
Love is what you want
Love, love, love, love, love
Until you've got it
You never will be satisfied
You're gonna chase the rainbow blind
If I'm wrong
It ain't gonna hurt anybody
But if I'm not (wrong)
Nothing's ever gonna change
Till we quite with this messin' (round)
And let love win the day
Love, love, love, love, love
Love is what you want
Love, love, love, love, love
Until you've got it
You never will be satisfied
You're gonna chase the rainbow blind

Everybody scatter
There's a madman on the run
Stumblin' through the wreckage
Like a blind man with a gun
Nowhere to hide
I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
'Cause I'm in too deep
Over my head
Caught up in a hurricane
That never seems to end
Hard to know the devil
When he looks like your best friend
Nowere to hide
I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
'Cause I'm in too deep
Over my head
Oh...I should have known
But I can't let go
'Cause I'm in too deep
Over my head
Oh...someone call somebody
The asylum's under siege
Inmates took a hostage
I'll be damned if it's not me
Nowhere to hide
'Cause I'm in too deep
Bury the light
'Cause I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
In too deep
Bury the light
I'm in too deep
I'm over my head
Over my head

It was a moonless night
It was an empty sky
It was a bad excuse
I was the only fool in sight
It was a crazy thought
A madman's walk
It was
It was a moonless night
It was an empty sky
It was a bad excuse
I was the only fool in sight
It was a crazy thought
A madman's walk
It was
I had a wandering eye
She had a better time
It was a twisted thought
A black cat came to mind
She was a crazy thought
A madman's walk
She was
She was a long way home
Walking broken bones
It was wrong or right
How deep that knife could go
It was a crazy thought
A madman's walk it was
It was a crazy thought
A madman's walk it was
She was the hangman's noose
I was the fool, I was
Oh, I was
Yeah baby...I was

Going through them changes
I feel like I could go out
And commit a crime
Everytime you see me going somewhere
I feel like I'm going out of my mind
My babe, she left me just the other day
We was having so much fun
Yeah, my baby, she stepped out on me
And that's the reason we had to part
Yeah, my mind's been
Going through them changes
I think I'm going out of my mind
Everytime I see you going out somewhere
I feel like I could go out
And commit a crime
She had me runnin'
She had me hidin'
She had me runnin', runnin', runnin'
Hidin'...cryin'
She had me runnin'
She had me cryin'
She had me runnin', runnin', runnin' ?runnin'...cryin'
Well, my mind's been
Going through them changes
I feel like I could go out
And commit a crime
Everytime I see you going somewhere
I feel like I'm losin' my mind
My babe, she left me just the other day
We were having so much fun
Yeah, my baby, she ran out on me
And that's the reason we had to part

(Who who who yeah!)
Long before you?e rusted chains
Busted walls and barbed wire cage
Tried to hold me down
Time was just a fist of change
Tossed in the water just incase, you ever came around
I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I? lost the will, to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound
No lies no no no
This is my last goodbye

Now pardon me if I appear
To see beyond the now and here
To try to save myself
I? not the kind to pin the blame
But I can? take more of the same
Livinon your shelf
I could lose myself
I could curse like hell
But I?e lost the will to even try
If you ever doubt
Listen to the sound
No lies, no no no
This is my last goodbye

Door closes another one opens
I feel the cold wind blowing
Over me

Hey

Long gone but not forgotten
I might be lost, I might be finally???ree
I? finally free

Long before your rusted chains
Busted walls and barbed wire cage
Tried to hold me down
Time was just a fist of change
Tossed in the water just in case, you ever came around

I could lose myself I could curse like hell
But I?e lost the will to even try
If you ever doubt listen to the sound
No lies, no no no
This is my last goodbye
This is my last goodbye
Yes It is
Yes it is

Whoa
Yeah all right
Whoa ooo oh
All right

Yeah
Now I'm a man baby
I ain't no boy no more
Well now I'm a man baby
I ain't no boy no more
I spent 12 years in prison
Here I am standin at your door

I go to work in the morning
Your other man come creepin around
Yeah I go to work every mornin
Saw your other man come creepin around
I shot him
Til I come home with this shotgun baby
He was dead before he hit the ground
I shot him down
Oh I shot him down

Oh I did my time baby
And I still want you here with me
Well I served my time baby
But with you I will never be free
A broken man all alone
Is what I ain't never gonna be

Whoa take it down
All right
Oooo whoo
All right
Oh baby
All right

Oh I ain't afraid of no man
Whiskey and wine are my only friends
Yes I ain't afraid of no man
Still got a shotgun in my hands
Well now I'm afraid to come inside
I just might do it all over again...

Top of the world, oughta feel better
Bottom sure come at you a whole lot faster
Can you keep a secret I'll tell you
Still didn't get the answers where I'm standing
'Cause I get a little shook sometimes
And I thought maybe you could tell me why
Never mind
So long torn in all directions
Tossed and turned is how I am feeling
Tell you everything


All about what I've been dreamin'
Let go, domino, fall down, however I'm leavin'
And I get a little shook sometimes
And I thought maybe you could tell me why
Oh, it's alright baby...never mind
Top of the world, it used to look better
Down low ain't no vertigo spin me 'round faster
'Cause I just get a little shook sometimes
And I thought maybe you could tell me why
Oh that's alright baby

Around behind my back door
Is that you coming back
To do what you did before
One wrong move will surely
Get you caught in the act
That's a fact
You should know better
You should know better than that
You come home on that stuff
Does he know where you've been
Do you tell him you've been working
Or just hanging out with your friends
Baby one wrong friend will surely
Get you caught in the act
That's a fact
You should know better
You should know better than that
You should know better
When you gonna learn, pretty baby
When you gonna learn
That it all comes back
You get burned when you play with fire
And you should know better than that
Oh yeah, somebody whispers something
Someone else turns it around
Pretty soon there's a rumour flying
It's getting all over the town
It's a sticky little situation
You've been putting me in
'Cause I like what you do
I just know how the story ends
One wrong move
Gets you caught in the act, that's a fact
You should know better
You should know better than that
You should know better

Rust takes hold
See it in the sky
You wanna go
Every time it rains
Clouds come
Standing in the doorway
You run, why you wanna run away
Sky falls, take it as a sign
Who knows what I am gonna find
Every time it rains
If the rivers rise
You watch it all come down
See it in your eyes
It doesn't make a sound

I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin
Don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Now when I talk to God
I think he'll understand
Stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand
Don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Held it in my hand
Pushing down the throttle
I drink and try again
Baby I'm addicted
I just can't get enough
Build a wall around me
I will rise above
No one makes me feel the way
Feel the way you do
No one else could make me say
Say these things to you
I feel something kind of dangerous
I wish I knew what it was
Babe let's get together
Get together for some
Wild love
Going off the deep end
You got me hypnotized
First you took my sanity
Now you want my pride
Girl I want to see you
See you in the flesh
I'm out here on a wire
And they're cutting down the nets
No one makes me feel the way
Feel the way you do
No one else could make me say
Say these things to you
I feel something kind of dangerous
I wish I knew what it was
Babe let's get together
Get together for some
Wild love
Oh, I said it don't take long
But I just can't wait
Until the feelings gone
Oh...yeah
I don't mean to scare you baby
Or try to push you away
Something's got a hold on me
And it's going all the way
No one makes me feel the way
Feel the way you do
No one else could make me say
Say these things to you
I feel something kind of dangerous
I wish I knew what it was
Babe let's get together
Get together for some
Wild love

Just a stepping-stone
I'm just another old dirt road
Yes, you walk on
It happens every time
Feels like I'm losing my mind
Just like a dirty game of eight ball
Set up and framed taking the fall
I've been taking the fall
For so long
You know it happens every time
Feel like I'm losing my mind
So close, almost
Ain't it my turn to win
I'd take, one break
Would that be such a sin
So close, almost
Ain't it my turn to win
I'd take, one break
Would that be such a sin
I could make the bitter end
Be like a king snake shedding his skin
I would shed my skin
And move on
But it happens every time
Feels like I'm losing my mind
I said it happens every time
Feels like I'm losing my mind
Lord, it happens every time
Feels like I'm losing my mind

Can't sleep again
Got too much on my mind
It's half past 3
You're calling me
Just to make everything alright
Can't see the light
Heat of the night
Tired of feeling so wrong
Well, I've been there
And it's not fair
But you just gotta live...live on
Yeah, you gotta live on
Another day
Well, your luck is bound to change
It might be cold out
But you just hold out
The sun is gonna shine your way
I know it's true
I'm living proof
The road is hand and long
If I could find a way
I'd take your place
But, you just gotta live on
Oh, live on
You gotta live on
Oh, another day
Yeah, your luck is bound to change
It might be cold out
But you just hold out
The sun is gonna shine your way
I know it's true
I'm living proof
The road is hand and long
If I could find a way
I'd take your place
But, you just gotta live on
Oh, live on...yeah, you gotta live on
Oh...live on

Watching the night turn into day
It's 4 in the morning
I've got so many things to say
I've been out here in the darkness
With shadows all around
Where was I before you came around
Standing in a phone booth
Lord I'm watching the rain fall down
Don't know where I'm going
Don't even know the name of this town
I've been stranded in the spotlight
Like a king wtithout a crown
Where was I before you came around
I was lonely, I was on my own
I was drifting, no place to call home
Now I'm stronger
Where would I be
Without you lovin' me
I was lonely, on my own
I was drifting, no place to call home
Now I am stronger, where would I be
Without you lovin' me
Oh, staring out the window
I've heard you say it's gonna be alright
These words from you girl
I can make it through another night
I need someone to believe in
I was lost I was found
You give me someone to believe in
Where was I before you came around
You give me someone to believe in
Where was I before you came around

Everybody scatter
There's a madman on the run
Stumblin' through the wreckage
Like a blind man with a gun

Nowhere to hide
I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
'Cause I'm in too deep

Over my head

Caught up in a hurricane
That never seems to end
Hard to know the devil
When he looks like your best friend

Nowhere to hide
I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
'Cause I'm in too deep

Over my head

Ohh! - I should have known
But I can't let go
'Cause I'm in too deep

Over my head

Ohh! {Instrumental Bridge}

Over my head

Ohh! Someone call somebody
The asylum's under siege
The inmates took a hostage
I'll be damned if it's not me

Nowhere to hide
'Cause I'm in too deep
Buried alive
'Cause I'm in too deep
Can't see the light
In too deep
Buried alive (Oh no)
I'm in too deep

I'm over my head
Over my head
Over my head

Every morning by da break of day
Pick and shovel in my hand

Prove to the worlds I's a natural man
Don't not to hurt me but my back and spine
Don't have to worry 'bout my wife and chil'

Six months on the road you know is ain't no time

Every thing's a, every thing's a diein' about it
Every thing's a cryin' about it
Every thing's a liein' about it

Little old, little old spoonful
Spoonful, yeah
Everybody just diein' about it
Everybody just cryin' about it

That spoon, that spoon, that
Little old spoon, little old spoon, little old
Little old spoon, little old spoon, little old spoon
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful
That spoon, that spoon, that spoonful, yeah

Every thing's a diein' about it, yeah

Walkin' down King's Highway
With a brown paper bag in my hand
Nothin' else but the clothes I got on
But I ain't lookin' back
I ain't lookin back

Blame it on the midnight girl
And that wicked spell she cast
She pulled me in with them liquid eyes
Now I ain't looking back
I ain't looking back

Oh what a tangled web she weaves
I was losing my mind
Starin' down the barrel of a gun
It's just a matter of time

Walkin' down King's Highway
Black cat crossin' my path
I know that's her trying to make me stay
But, I ain't looking back

I ain't looking back
Kings Highway
I got to travel that
King's Highway

Girl, I see you in my dreams
It happens every day and night now
Got me going to extremes
Don't seem to care what's wrong or right now
Make ya mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
You say I'm really not your kind
Guess I look a little rough now
If I could give you everything, girl
Would it ever be enough now
You'll be mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
Makes me wonder what's goin' on
When the night rolls in


Something happens that feels so strong
And I just can't pretend
Don't you wonder what's goin' on
When the night rolls in
Something happens that feels so strong
And it will happen again
So, you can turn and walk away
But I know you would regret it
If I ever had my way
Do you think you could forget it
Gonna happen someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway
You'll be mine someday
Somehow, somewhere, someway

Whoa
Yeah all right
Whoa ooo oh
All right

Yeah
Now I'm a man baby
I ain't no boy no more
Well now I'm a man baby
I ain't no boy no more
I spent 12 years in prison
Here I am standin at your door

I go to work in the morning
Your other man come creepin around
Yeah I go to work every mornin
Saw your other man come creepin around
I shot him
Til I come home with this shotgun baby
He was dead before he hit the ground
I shot him down
Oh I shot him down

Oh I did my time baby
And I still want you here with me
Well I served my time baby
But with you I will never be free
A broken man all alone
Is what I ain't never gonna be

Whoa take it down
All right
Oooo whoo
All right
Oh baby
All right

Oh I ain't afraid of no man
Whiskey and wine are my only friends
Yes I ain't afraid of no man
Still got a shotgun in my hands
Well now I'm afraid to come inside
I just might do it all over again...

Tears to a smile it’s a brand new day
Roads take a turn I think I found my way
Words don’t always say what they mean,
Whisper a prayer, what will it bring?
What will it bring now?

CHORUS: And I feel, feel so alive
When I’m with you, everything’s fine
Yeah I feel, feel so alive

I want to fly but I ain’t got wings
I want to sing the song you sing
‘Cause when I’m with you well I feel

CHORUS: Yeah I feel, feel so alive
When I’m with you, everything’s fine
And I feel, feel so alive

(SOLO)

CHORUS: And I feel, feel so alive
When I’m with you, everything’s fine
Yeah I feel, feel so alive…

The lady’s eyes are blue and red
When she walks by everybody turns their head
Dressed in colors, nature’s queen
The sweetest thing you ever did see

Chorus:
There’s a light in the sky
Says you’re gonna be mine
Yes I knew all the time
You were gonna be mine

Now I want to know about pleasure and pain
Once you get in you ain’t never the same
And who’s to blame if you get hurt
Got nothing to lose if it never was yours

Chorus

Singing La La La

Don’t give up it ain’t your scene
Open your eyes and hear the scream
A couple of words is all you need
Before you know it you’ll plant your seed
What’s your will
And will you get your fill

Chorus

It ain't wrong to feel so strong when you think you got it going on
Life has a way of making you pay to the club where we all belong
Now you're free to believe that the good life is guaranteed
But watch your step 'cos it's a safe bet, you're gonna end up on your knees

You're gonna get spanked, I'm warning you sister
You're gonna get spanked, life's gonna hit you
You'll never know until you get spanked, you're gonna be humbled
You're gonna get spanked and you're world's gonna crumble
You'll never know until you get spanked

Some do want to prove that there are really just a chosen few
So test your fate, speculate that it can never really happen to you
I've been high, at least tried, I learned to sleep with an open eye
You crossed that line, better take the time to kiss your ass goodbye

You're gonna get spanked, I'm warning you sister
You're gonna get spanked, life's gonna hit you
You'll never know until you get spanked, you're gonna be humbled
You're gonna get spanked and you're world's gonna crumble
You'll never know until you get

When you're so sure you got it right
All alone in the spotlight
You'll never see it coming
You'll never see it coming
[Incomprehensible]

You're gonna get spanked, I'm warning you sister
You're gonna get spanked, life's gonna hit you
You'll never know until you get spanked, you're gonna be humbled
You're gonna get spanked and you're world's gonna crumble
You'll never know until you get spanked

I'm warning you sister
You're gonna get spanked, life's gonna hit you
You'll never know until you get spanked

In a room filled with dried tears of sorrow
And you come in and lay down by my side
Will you feel the same way tomorrow?
'Cause you smile just as easy as you cry

Was it wrong to be good to you?
Was it wrong to be your man?
'Cause I ain't getting through to you
And I've done all I can to make you understand

And my heart just keeps on bleeding
From the hole that drains my soul
And if I can't kill the feeling now
How do I, oh, I let go?

Time only heals when it wants to
I guess that's why
I just can't get you off of my mind

Yeah, when the walls come down between us
Will you be on the other side?
If you say you didn't need it
I will let you right back in for the rest of my life

Only you can stop the bleeding
From the hole that drains my soul
And if you can't kill the feeling now
How do I, oh, I let go, let go?

Yeah, and my heart just keeps on bleeding
From the hole that drains my soul
And if I can't kill the feeling now
How do I?

Only you can stop the bleeding
From the hole that drains my soul
And if you can't kill the feeling now
How do I, oh, I let go, let go?

I hear you, hear you talkin'
Goes in one ear and right out the other
Not surprised where you come from
What you want might be easy for someone

But not me, I don't see it
Can't you see that it just not my style
You said please, I said sorry
'Cause I am what I am and that's all then

All of these things that you want me to be
It means nothin' to me and that's then
And when I try it's a thorn in my side
And it's pullin' me down, I'm tellin' you I ain't sellin' out

There's a smile on my face
And it's there for a good reason
Ain't no shame in my game
Tell me what in the hell were you thinkin'

All of these things that you want me to be
It means nothin' to me and that's all then
And when I try it's a thorn in my side
And it's pullin' me down, I'm tellin' you I ain't sellin' out

Here's a message for you people
And I'm layin' it out on the table
If you don't like it, I don't care
'Cause I'm right here, I ain't goin' nowhere

All of these things that you want me to be
It means nothin' to me and that's all then
And when I try it's a thorn in my side
And it's pullin' me down, I'm tellin' you I ain't sellin' out

Take me down, down on you
Make me drown, drown all around you
Butterfly, fly to me
Spread your wings, wrap them around me
Follow me and I will lead you on
Trust in me and I won't do you wrong

Oh, when you've got no hope, you've given up, it's out of your hands
I wish that I could show you how to understand
That even when your eyes deceive
Oh yeah, all you've gotta do is believe

Running out, out of time
Out of sight, out of your mind
Find the light, the light in you
Let it shine, shine on through, through you
Open up your heart and let me in
I will stand beside you till the end

Oh, when you've got no hope, you've given up, it's out of your hands
I wish that I could show you how to understand
That even when your eyes deceive
Oh yeah, all you've gotta do is believe

Let me be the one, you can count on me
I will be the one if you just believe
Oh yeah
Ooh hoo, yeah yeah

Oh, when you've got no hope, you've given up, it's out of your hands
I wish that I could show you how to understand
That even when your eyes deceive
Oh yeah, all you've gotta do is believe

Cry baby, cry, I hear what you say
You used to have a good man, baby
But you, you threw it all away

Live, baby, live while you still can
I can change your world, baby
If you let me be your man

I wanna get you out of the place you're in
I wanna leave you with no doubt
I wanna get you out of the place you're in
Right now, I wanna get you out

Dream for the day, open up your mind
Well, it don't matter what happens girl
You gotta leave it all behind

I wanna get you out of the place you're in
I wanna leave you with no doubt
I wanna get you out of the place you're in

Because I, I see a bluer sky
I see a better life, so baby, dry your eyes
I'm gonna get you out

I wanna get you out of the place you're in
I wanna leave you with no doubt
I wanna get you out of the place you're in

Right now, I wanna get you out
Right now, I wanna get you out
Right now, I wanna get you out
Oh, right now, I wanna get you out, yeah

If I could put myself at ease for awhile
Maybe I could learn to appreciate your smile
I've got a lot to give but I never give enough to you
Ohh, to you

I'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable
And I'm not trying to make you go away
All I really want to do is be with you
For awhile or just today

I said hey, what do you say? What do you say?
What do you say? What do you say?

Now, don't you tease me, don't you mess me around
I got a lot of friends and I don't need one now
So, baby don't you let me down

You could let yourself just slip away
Don't have to think about it till some other day
Just a temporary game that we're gonna play

I say hey, what do you say?

I'm not tryin' to make you feel uncomfortable
And I'm not trying to make you go away
All I really want to do is be with you

Ohh, I said hey, what do you say?

What do you say? What do you say?
What do you say? What do you say?
What do you say? What do you say?
...

You see the people sleeping out on the streets
Ain't got no food, got no shoes on their feet
And I'm walking forward to the back of the beat, oh yeah

She's got an angel painted on her arm
Don't know the difference from right and wrong
I wish I could help her but I'm singing my song

Can we get it together before we fall apart
Let's get it together, get it together
Oh, get it together
Gonna get it together, let's get it together
Yeah, get it together

It's come, it's come along
It's come a long long way and I still ain't got there
Oh now, oh baby now, what we gonna do to turn it all around

I'm looking at you, you're looking at me
It's going down, what's it gonna be
Oh, take time to rearrange, nothing's gonna change

Get it together before we fall apart
Get it together before we fall apart
Get it together, can we get it together?
Will we get it together before we fall apart?

Let's get it together, get it together
Get it together
Gotta get it together, you gonna get it together
Yeah, get it together

Ooh, gonna get it together, you gotta get together
Ooh, get it together
[Incomprehensible] you get it together

Something's got me down again
I feel the walls closing in
If you could only read my mind
Tell me what would you find?

Show me where it all began
Now could you help me understand?
And the toll it's taking, everyday I'm aching

Living in danger, I'm a hazard to myself
Why can't these problems belong to someone else?
I need an angel to protect me from myself
And take these burdens off my mind, ooh yeah

I wish I knew the words to say
To make it all go away
Even when it's plain to see
It's hard to believe

'Cuz when your heart's been broken
All you're hope's been stolen

Living in danger, I'm a hazard to myself
Why can't these problems belong to someone else?
I need an angel to protect me from myself
And take these burdens off my mind

I'm running on faith, I really don't know
If it's too late or which way to go
It's a matter of time, will I ever know
Oh, before I lose control? Yeah

'Cuz when your heart's been broken
All you're hope's been stolen

Living in danger, I'm a hazard to myself
Why can't these problems belong to someone else?
I need an angel to protect me from myself
And take these burdens off my mind, yeah, off my mind, oh, oh

Pick and shovel in my hand

Don't not to hurt me but my back and spine
Don't have to worry 'bout my wife and chil'

Fire in the dark, pounding in my brain
Driven by the chant calling out my name

Your kiss burns, through my dreams

I was over in Aberdeen
On my way to New Orleans
Well the Aberdeen women told me
They would give me my gasoline
Aberdeen is my home
But they just don't want me around
Aberdeen is my home
But they just don't want me around
I'm gonna take these women
Take them out this town
Well just look over yonder
Coming down the road
That must be my baby coming
Tell me she don't want me know more
Well there's too many women
I bring too many women
Back from New Orleans
I was standin' 'roun cryin'
With my heart right in my hand
I was standin' 'round cryin'
With my heart right in my hand
I was lookin' for that woman
One ain't got no man
Well just look over yonder
Where we used to live
Don't you know it's killing me, baby
How we can't live here no more
Well it's goodbye, baby
If I'm never gonna see you no more
Well it's goodbye, baby
If I'm never gonna see you no more
I'm gonna tell everybody you've been
Still knockin at my door

You say, "Come over babyCome talk to me"
Then you drive me so crazy
I can't hardly see
If this keeps goin' on
I might just leave and not come back
I got on foot in your doorway
I got one foot on the path
Well you beg me to stay
Then you order me to go
All this up and down
Is wear and tear on my soul
I'm wonderin' if our future
Is gonna look just like our past
I got one foot in your doorway
I got one foot on the path
Now I love you, baby
Don't get me wrong
But this heart of mine
May not be that strong
You got me on you line
Reel me in or throw me back
I got one foot in your doorway
I got one foot on the path
You'd best think about it, baby
But don't take too long
If we can't get it right
I'll just be movin' on
I can't wait forever
For us to get this thing on track
I got one foot in your doorway, baby
I got one foot on the path

It don't matter if you're rich
It don't make no differenve if you're poor
Simple things in like can make you mad to the core
It doesn't matter if you're young
Don't make no difference if you're old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach your pot of gold
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows with the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Ain't no different for a woman
Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
Don't matter if you're fat
Don't matter if you're thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Don't matter if you're black
Don't matter if you're white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

Seen her get up, seen her go down
Down to the riverside
Seen her jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
People do just what they will
Don't matter to the river, it's running still
Sun come up, sun go down
Down to the riverside
Sun jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
Everyday just like the last
We sit and watch the water pass
Came a day they built a bridge
Down to the riverside
Over the way, on top of the ridge
Down to the riverside
Built a bridge for the people to cross
But every other day, someone's jumping off
You might think some boys they got it made
Down to the riverside
They got the money and the women and a
place in the shade
Down to the riverside
That ain't no way to ease the pain
Can't listen to the river when it calls your name
