Eleven Dollar Bill
03:33
|
|||
See the plans that I’ve drawn up, crumbled paper on the ground
They’re piled up high and kicked around
A sense of panic in my cursive that can’t be found
Like the words in my mouth that never make a sound
Like an eleven-dollar bill passed around, and still, nobody wants to use it
I’m feeling incomplete, not landing on my feet; I’m weeping
See the canvas that I painted, unfinished and torn
Up against the wall, it reflects the scorn
Of the panic in my strokes, the colours slightly worn
Like the look on my face on the day that I was born
Like an eleven-dollar bill passed around, and still, nobody wants to use it
It used to be a thrill to think you’d all kill to hold me
An eleven-dollar bill passed around, and still, nobody wants to use it
I’m feeling incomplete, not landing on my feet; I’m weeping, I feel I’m slipping away
There’s an urgency in my currency, and the interest builds every day
I want to take the time to rewrite every line, but I feel I’m slipping away
An eleven-dollar bill passed around, and still, I’m feeling incomplete, not landing on my feet
An eleven-dollar bill passed around, and still, nobody wants to use it
It used to be a thrill to think you’d all kill to hold me
An eleven-dollar bill passed around, and still, nobody wants to use it
I’m feeling incomplete, not landing on my feet; I’m weeping

Falling in Love
03:50
|

If falling in love means falling apart
I’ll be picking up the pieces of my broken heart
I’ll be wearing my passion like a bloodstain crown
My heart on my sleeve crumbles to the ground
As the day grows tired, you light silent fires
They burn, burn, burn
I want to ride a wave that’ll wash away all you’ve said and done
Whether weak or strong, you’re the only one
If taking a gamble means losing the game
I’d bet it all just the same
If walking away means avoiding the fight
I don’t mind walking through the darkest night
As my will grows weak, all the words you speak
They burn, burn, burn
I want to ride a wave that’ll wash away all you’ve said and done
Whether weak or strong, you’re the only one
You are the, the only, the only one for me
I’ll follow you wherever you go
You are the, the only, the only one for me
I’ll follow you wherever you go
You are the, the only, the only one for me
I’ll follow you wherever you go
You are the, the only, the only one for me
I’ll follow you wherever you go
You are the, the only, the only one for me
I’ll follow you wherever you go
If falling in love means falling apart
I’ll be picking up the pieces of my broken heart

Barefoot & Boots
03:17
|
|||
If we took the time and looked around
At all we thought was solid ground
We’d see there’s nothing real and nothing true
We walk strong and we walk free
The bond between us plain to see
Barefoot and boots: that’s you and me
We walk free
You and me
We walk free together
Barefoot and boots, just you and me
We learn day in, day out
All the changes ain’t no doubt
That love can linger and love… can die
Every day we’re stronger for
It’s tried and true and so much more
The love that we share living free
Barefoot and boots: that’s you and me
We walk free
You and me
We walk free together
Barefoot and boots, just you and me
Sticks and stones for those who roam
Sun-kissed sand for those that can
You protect my soul, that I know, I know

Tonight
04:28
|
|||
Watching the sun set slow, leaving the sky a glow
Has me reminiscin’ of the moment when we first kissed
That warm autumn night when you held me oh so tight
The taste of your sweet kiss lingers on my lips
I have lonely nights without you
Your kiss is all that I can think of
I walk a little while and fabricate a smile
With thoughts I have of you
Something in the air makes me stop and stare
I’m wondering how you knew
It’s not worth contemplating
And I won’t be sittin’ here waiting
Believe me when I tell you
That nothing’s gonna fill this void tonight
I have lonely nights without you
Your kiss is all I that can think of
Baby, please believe me when I tell you
I can be the one that you can run to
Baby, let me be the one tonight
Solo
I have lonely nights without you
Your kiss is all that I can think of
Baby, please believe me when I tell you
I can be the one that you can run to
Baby, let me be the one tonight
Baby, you belong to me tonight... Babe
We’re gonna change the colour of the sky tonight
We’re gonna climb a mountain if we need to
I’m gonna say I do, cause I believe you
When you say we’ll change the world tonight

Cold Goodbye
03:59
|
|||
I’m looking at the stars tonight
I’m wondering what I didn’t do right
You know I can’t deny that I need you by my side
Cause, baby, you and I make it all worthwhile
When you voiced your dreams and all your crazy schemes
I didn’t think it meant you’d have to leave…
Baby, please come on home, you know I can’t face it alone
I’ve never been on my own and I need you here tonight
Baby, please come on home, I’ll never make it on my own
Baby, won’t you please come home
Tonight I’m missing you as I’m walking slowly through
The halls and walls, decorated with me and you
It was such a cold goodbye; you never told me why
You felt you had to leave it all behind
When you voiced your dreams and all your crazy schemes
I didn’t think it meant you’d have to leave…
Baby, please come on home, you know I can’t face it alone
I’ve never been on my own and I need you here tonight
Baby, please come on home, I’ll never make it on my own
Baby, won’t you please come home
As we walked along the shore
Kicking sand… and making plans
I never thought you’d be letting go
I know that time’s a healer, but baby
I believed you when you said you’d love, love me to the end
Baby, please come on home, you know I can’t face it alone
I’ve never been on my own and I need you here tonight
Baby, please come on home, I’ll never make it on my own
Baby, won’t you please come home

Black & White
05:02

She was summer in his soul
Their love was solid gold
She was in his mouth and in his speaking
In his mind and in his thinking
He was mystical and magical
She was captivated by his soul
With a southern drawl, lean and tall
With just one look, they launched it all
Do you know she cries in her darkest hour?
The scent of sweet and fresh magnolia fills the air
Do you know she cries when she thinks of you?
With all that’s lost, there’s nothing left for her to do
Like a cat on a hot tin roof
Careful not to burn
In the spring of better days, their tale was told in letters
Some buried; some burnt
With tradition strong and roots so deep
They knew their secret would never keep
While mockingbirds and bumblebees
Well, they live and breathe
Do you know she cries in her darkest hour?
The scent of sweet and fresh magnolia fills the air
Do you know she cries when she thinks of you?
With all that’s lost, there’s nothing left for her to do
Solo
She cries… for you
She cries… for you
There were stories told of their evening
Of their moonlight dancing and their midnight love
And a ride down that mighty river
The truth, never to be told
Under the southern sky in the summer heat
Beneath a poplar tree, once again they’d meet
Forbidden love, black and white
Young and old, bought and sold
Do you know she cries in her darkest hour?
The scent of sweet and fresh magnolia fills the air
Do you know she cries when she thinks of you?
With all that’s lost, there’s nothing left for her to do
She cries… for you
She cries… for you

Lilly White
04:20
|
|||
Lily walks the streets at night; her boots are tall, her dress is tight
Never look her in the eye, she loves to fuss and fight
She thinks about many ways to laze about and whine
The only tool she has to win is her body, not her mind
She’s a country girl with a city smile, it’ll burn you darn straight through
Give her everything she wants, you’ll be left with two left shoes
Can’t believe a word she says, she’s built a pack of lies
Mississippi queen with no regime, she’ll defecate your mind
Go oh oh, gotta let her go
Let her go oh oh, she’s a heavy load
She found a man; she loved the man in between the sheets
A Beretta Storm underneath his arm: that’s the way he liked to sleep
If you trust a man with a loaded gun, you learn to run and hide
Like Lily did and Lily does in the rooms behind her mind
Go oh oh, gotta let her go
Let her go oh oh, she’s a heavy load
Go oh oh, let her go
Let her go oh oh, she’s a heavy load
Solo
Lily does what Lily loves in the streets that she calls home
She never wonders where or why; she walks those streets alone
There was a time she walked the line, they call the great divide
She made her choice, it went awry: now she’s lost her mind
Go oh oh, gotta let her go
Let her go oh oh, she’s a heavy load
Go oh oh, let her go
Let her go oh oh, she’s a heavy load

Saddle Me Up
03:56
|
|||
Standing on the corner in the middle of the city
Watching pretty girls go by
I myself I like my women witty
That’s a trade that I can’t deny
Like a lady named Catcall Katy
She loves to belt them out at night
When she’s walking by the boys or sitting in the seats
She knows just how to rev ’em up right!
She said,
“I wanna ride that blue-ribbon pony
Ride, ride, ride
Don’t come looking for me come morning
Ride, ride, ride,”
She said, “Saddle me up!”
Solo
Katy don’t care about the dos and the don’ts
The shimmies and the shakes, the wills and the won’ts
She likes the boys, and the boys like the way
She sings her bawdy songs!
Solo
She said,
“I wanna ride that blue-ribbon pony
Ride, ride, ride
You know I ain’t in it for the money
Ride, ride, ride
I just love it when you’re calling me honey
Ride, ride, ride
Don’t come looking for me come morning
Ride, ride, ride,”
She said, “Saddle me up!”
Solo
She said,
“I wanna ride that blue-ribbon pony
Ride, ride, ride
You know I ain’t in it for the money
Ride, ride, ride
I just love it when you’re calling me honey
Ride, ride, ride
Don’t come looking for me come morning
Ride, ride, ride”

Take My Heart
03:53
|
|||
Take my heart, I don’t need it
If you’re leaving here today
There’s nothing I can do, no more left to say
Take my blood, it won’t flow like
The river to the sea
But leave me my lips so I can speak
Your name when the sun goes down
If you’re looking for consolation
Cause the road’s too long and lonely
Take a Greyhound north and, come morning, I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting, waiting on the day
That you come back home to stay
Take my legs, I don’t need them
I can’t stand to see you walk away
Leaving me here to live another day
Take my arms, I won’t hold on
To the dreams you’ve left behind
But I’ll keep my eyes so I can see
See you in her smile
If you’re looking for consolation
Cause the road’s too long and lonely
Take a Greyhound north and, come morning, I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting, waiting on the day
That you come back home to stay
Solo
Take my ring, I won’t wear it
It reminds me of yesteryear
And the days we spent making plans
For forever without fear
Take my will, I don’t need it
Like a sad song on the radio
Thoughts of you, they come and go
But most have all grown cold
If you’re looking for consolation
Cause the road’s too long and lonely
Take a Greyhound north and, come morning, I’ll be waiting
If you’re looking for consolation
Cause the road’s too long and lonely
Take a Greyhound north and, come morning, I’ll be waiting
I’ll be waiting, waiting on the day
That you come back home to stay

There is a light,
A certain kind of light,
That’s never shone on me
I wanted my whole life to be living with you
Living with you
There is a way,
Everybody says,
To do each and every thing
But tell me what good can it bring
If I ain’t got you, if I ain’t got you
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
In my brain
Don’t you know I see your face again?
And I know my frame of mind
But tell me why you got to be so unkind
Am I blind, oh oh, baby, am I blind?
I’m a man
Can’t you see that I am?
I live and I breathe for you
But tell me what else can I do
If I ain’t got you, if I ain’t got you
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
Baby, you don’t know what it’s like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you
There is a light,
A certain kind of light,
That’s never shone on me
