Ever since I met you
Mama said I should forget you
She said you were a waste of my sweet time
I wish I would have listened
Because now I'm sitting here wishin'
I never did believe in your sweet lies
You said you were the king of love
And I would be your queen
How come the good times are so few and far between?
Every night you leave me
I'm telling you it ain't been easy
Sitting here alone 'til 4 AM
If this is love then I don't want it
I'm gonna take this ring and pawn it
I'm walking out on you fast as I can
Ain't you the one who promised me peaches and cream?
How come the good times are so few and far between?

[Chorus:]
Few and far between
The good times that I've seen when I'm with you
Few and far between
And baby I do believe
It's time to pack up all my bags and hit the street
Few and far between

I got to find somebody
Who knows just how to love me
And baby I know for sure that it ain't you
You said you were the king of love
And I would be your queen
How come the good times are so few and far between?

Ever since I met you

Hard to make a stand
Old James Dean Monroe
Hands out flowers at the Shop-n-Go
Hopes for money
But all he gets is fear
And the wind blows up his coat
And this he scribbles on a purfume note:
"If I'm not here, then you're not here."
And he says:
"Call me Miscreation,
I'm a walking celebration."
And it's hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
My friend, oh lawdy
Went to take care of her own body
She got shot down in the road
She looked up before she went
Said, "This isn't really what I meant."
And the daily news said:
"Two with one stone."
And I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,
Bring a flower, time is wasting."
And it's hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
We got loud guitars and big suspicions
Great big guns and small ambitions
We still argue over who is God
And I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,
Bring a flower, time is wasting."
I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,
We all need a revelation."
And it's hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand
Hard to make a stand

Love ain't worth the tears sometimes

There's nothing left in this heart of mine

I've stayed with you but I don't know why

After all you've put me through

How can you lie when you know I can't?

How can you ask for one last chance?

You let it slip right through your hands

And now it's caught up with you



I don't make promises I can't break

Not like before

I let you make your last mistake

Don't wanna cry no more



You never give back what you take

You only use things 'til they break

How many times must my heart ache

All because of you?



I don't make promises I can't break

Not like before

I let you make your last mistake

Don't wanna cry no more



Love ain't worth the tears this time

Don't wanna cry

Don't wanna fight

I know whats wrong

And I know what's right

And I know what I have to do



I don't make promises I can't break

Not like before

I let you make your last mistake

Don't wanna cry no more

I've been hearing stories
Ever since I've been gone
Heard all about your women
Women, wine and song
Did you think I wouldn't find you out?
Did you think I wouldn't know?
Let's skip the inquisition
Consider this your eviction
I'm coming home

I've been hearing rumors
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
Ever since the day I took you in
I should have kicked you out
You've been living off my money
And I bet you ain't alone
It's been going on too long
I better find you gone
When I get home

I'm comin' home to quit ya
So don't let that back door hit ya when ya go
I'm heading down the interstate
Taking back my real estate
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

When you said you loved me
I should of known what you meant
I guess you loved me just enough
To let me pay the rent
Since you've been livin' off me
You've been livin' high
Now I think it's way past time
To leave you high and dry

Let's skip the inquisition
Consider this your eviction
I'm coming home

It's been going on too long
I better find you gone when I get home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

I smell you on my fingertips
I can taste you on my lips
I can still hear the echo of our last goodbye
You're the love I can't forget
I see you everywhere I turn
I guess I won't ever learn
I always fall for the ones that I can't keep
I let myself get in too deep
If you change your mind
I'll be waiting on you
If you need somebody to be your fool
I will be there for you
If you change your mind
Remember down in baton rouge
When I gave it all up to you?
I could tell right then that it was the end
There was nothing left but the truth
If you change your mind
I'll be waiting on you
If you need somebody to be your fool
I will be there for you
If you change your mind
All of my life I let the darkness pull me in
A flicker of light
Gone again
If you change your mind
I'll be waiting on you
If you need somebody to be your fool
I will be there for you
If you change your mind

Love me like that
At the bottom of the ocean
If you could hear me call your name
Would the changing tides
Ever turn you away?
At the top of the mountain
At the end of the day
Would you still have a place in your heart
For me to stay?
You're the only good thing
This little girl ever had
Your got to treat me like a good thing
You got to give me all the love I give you back
If you really want to love me
You got to show me that you love me like that
Down in the valley
Where all the wild things run
Would you still be true
Would I be the only one?
Love is a jungle
the hunter is the game
If I love you would you love me just the same?
You're the only good thing
This little girl ever had
Your got to treat me like a good thing
You got to give me all the love I give you back
If you really want to love me
You got to show me that you love me like that
Out in the country
Where the tall grass grows
Would you really really love me
'Cause I really need to know
Back in the big old city
Would you keep me by your side?
I've got to know the truth
Before I let you come inside
You're the only good thing
This little girl ever had
Your got to treat me like a good thing
You got to give me all the love I give you back
If you really want to love me
You got to show me that you love me like that

Never enough
I've seen the people
As they walk down the street
Smiling and looking so free
As I stand on the corner
With a tear in my eye
Wondering how it would be
If I'd never asked for what I could not have
Always living for things out of reach
Never enough
Forever unsatisfied
Missing a piece of my soul
Never enough
Forever unanswered
Like a prayer that never gets told
Fall away troubles, dreams and desires
And let me escape from myself
If I'd never asked for what I could not have
I could live just like everyone else
Never enough
Forever unsatisfied
Missing a piece of my soul
Never enough
Forever unanswered
Like a prayer that never gets told
Fall away troubles, dreams and desires
And let me escape from myself

No riders
I am just a poor girl
Trying to get back home
Waiting by the station
Barefoot on the stones
Seven years from Ponchatoula
Not one penny in my hand
Please mister help me
I come so far I cannot stand
He said We don't take no riders
No riders on this train
Go on ask the brakeman
He'll tell you just the same
I don't take no riders
Don't take no riders on this train
Best move on down the line, mama
Go on back from where you came
I done left my mama
When I was but a child
Took off with a young man
Started running wild
Seven years from Ponchatoula
Ain't nothin' gone my way
Please mister help me
Can't you hear a word I say?
He said We don't take no riders
No riders on this train
Go on ask the brakeman
He'll tell you just the same
I don't take no riders
Don't take no riders on this train
Best move on down the line, mama
Go on back from where you came

Playing with fire
Down at the crossroads
They say he sold his soul
Hell-bent on being King of Blues
Deal with the Devil
But I swear there's an angel in there
Gotta give credit
Where credit's due
Sittin' in his rockin' chair
He put the mojo in the air
Yeah, hear the black cat moanin'
Twelve bars and a man possessed
Separated from all the rest
He was playing with fire
Six string -- his thing
No waking up from that dream
Took it -- turned it upside down
He rocked Woodstock
Jump start -- never could stop
Guitar gods all hit the ground
Heads up when he hit the stage
Sky high in a manic rage
Yeah, and the rocket's red glare
They say the boy really caused a scene
He took a match and he lit that thing
He was playin' with fire
Who's that creeping
Taking ahold of my hand?
Who's that moving
Through my veins?
Must be the spirit
Of those who've gone before
Got their fingers on my strings
Sittin' in my rockin' chair
I feel the mojo in the air
Yeah, I hear the black cat moanin'
Let it roll all over me
let it take me 'til I'm free
And I'm playin' with fire

The weight
I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where a girl might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand
"No!" was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me
I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil
Walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me
Go down, Moses
There ain't nothin' for you to say
It's just ol' Luke
And Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend
What about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor
Stay an' keep Anna Lee company."
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me
Fetch me a cannon ball
Now take me on down the line
May bag is sinkin' low
And I believe it's about time
To get in touch with me
You know she's the one
He said, "Honey, regards for everyone."
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me

Don't have to go out
Lookin' for trouble
Trouble will find you it's a matter of time
That's when you're gonna need someone behind you
A true friend isn't easy to find

You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out who your true friends are
There will come a time
Somewhere down the line
You're gonna find out who your true friends are

Room full of people
They start talkin'
Talkin' about you when you're not there
Who'll be the one who won't play that game?
Who's gonna stand up for your good name?

You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out who your true friends are
There will come a time
Somewhere down the line
You're gonna find out who your true friends are

I'll be the one that
That will pull you back
When you've taken one step too far
That's when you'll know who
Who really loves you
You're gonna find out who your true friends are

Now people say
Almost anything
There's no way to see inside their hearts
But they you'll see who runs away
And who's there with you when the trouble starts

You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out
You're gonna find out who your true friends are
There will come a time
Somewhere down the line
You're gonna find out who your true friends are
