Remember

I’m waiting for you to turn my way
I’m waiting for you to turn my way
And I’ll take the blame
If you’ll hear what I’ve got to say
I’m waiting for you to come my way
I’m waiting for you to come my way
And I’ll walk away
Unless you want me to stay
Makes no difference to me
I just hope you remember me
I’m waiting for you to fall my way
I’m waiting for you to fall my way
And I’ll stay the same
Unless you want me to change
Makes no difference to me
I just hope they remember me
Makes no difference to me
I just hope they remember me
I just hope they remember me

Roller Derby Queen
03:10

So pretty. sometimes she’s so mean
From the city now she’s country green
She learned how to skate on her hockey team
Roller Derby Queen
Take a chance on me
We’ll buy a slice and a kosher pickle
Play some foosball and talk just a little
You’ll See
Just how good it can be
Roller Derby Queen
Such a beauty stands about 6 foot three
Bloody jersey but still has all her teeth
She’ll never make the cover of a magazine
Roller Derby Queen
Take a chance on me
We’ll play the jukebox, do the hokey pokey
Share a snow cone you’ll never be lonely
She runs circles black, blue, and purple
When she takes someone out at the knees
She runs circles she runs circles right around me
Roller Derby Queen
Take a chance on me
We’ll buy a slice and a kosher pickle
Play some foosball and talk just a little
You’ll See
Just how good it can be
Roller Derby Queen she runs circles right around me

Nothing You Can Say
03:08

What is done is left behind
Until you find it on your own
Take a break and fake a smile
Appreciate what’s in store for you
Don’t forget who means the most
Let em know when you’re down
Take a break & walk away
Be surprised at what is found today
When you pass the time, with little sacrifice
& nothing comes your way
But when it comes around and you’re on the ground
You’ve got nothing you can say
Nothing you can say
Nothing you can say
What is done is left behind
Until you find it on your own
Take a break and fake a smile
Appreciate what’s in store for you
Don’t forget who means the most
Let em know when you’re down
Take a break & walk away
Be surprised at what is found today

Young Runaway
03:53
|

Mama said he was a running man, fast as he can, no looking back
Said he left the southern night in June, with a friend name Jack, 1962
Caught in the middle, just a boy, solving a riddle without a choice
Making ‘em think about running too, yeah
He’s just another young runaway, breaking free, free
Just another young runaway
Twist of fate deserves another look, he was an open book, each chance he took
Mama said she knew he’d never stay, always something else getting in the way
Caught in the middle, just a boy, minus some answers but he endured
His whole life will keep him moving on
He’s just another young runaway, breaking free, free
He’s just another young runaway
And no he don’t know where he’s going, He’s happy, are you happy
I wonder do you know where you’re going.
Sometimes I don’t know if I do, I mean it’s up to you
Sherriff said I’m truly sorry son, he was a wanted man, out on the run
And when he saw flashing light a blue, he stepped on the gas, made that mother move
The rest is history to a boy, uncovered the mystery once a for all
And now he’s thinking about settling down
He’s just another young runaway, breaking free, free free
He’s just another young runaway, breaking free, free free
He’s just another young runaway, breaking free, free free
He’s just another young runaway
Mama said he was a running man, fast as he can, looking back

Takeaway

Take away
take away my last free night, take away my will to fight, take away
Take away
take away the Sunday blues, take away some more bad news, take away
when you know it’s time to go
& you’ve had your say
Close your eyes, rest your mind
Feel the warm embrace
Take away
take away the tears that flow, take away the fear that shows, take away
Take away
take away the evening news, take away when I miss you, take away
when you know it’s time to go
& you’ve had your say
Close your eyes, rest your mind
Feel the warm embrace
when you know it’s time to go
& you’ve had your say
Close your eyes, rest your mind
Feel the warm embrace

She Makes Mistakes
02:59
|
|||
|
I don’t know here lately
Something’s got a hold on me
Couldn’t believe it
Such a site to see
Kinda soft like the feathers of a dove
kinda warm like a summer rain
But she makes mistakes when she wants to know me dear
She makes mistakes when she whispers in my ear
Words I want to hear when she says she loves me
She says she loves me
I just don’t know
Well I don’t know hear lately
Tiny lips precious eyes
Well they’re quite deceiving
Makes me realize
I want to go out where I’ve never been
Far far away from here
But she makes mistakes and my mind is never clear
She makes mistakes and she whispers in my ear
Words I want to hear when she says she loves me
Is it love I fear when she says she loves me
This is love I fear when she says she loves me
I just don’t know
She makes mistakes when she wants to know me dear
She makes mistakes when she whispers in my ear
Words I want to hear when she says she loves me
My mind isn’t clear when she says she loves me
Is it love I fear when she says she loves me
Love

Guilt Trip
04:02
|
|||
|
Ladder of accountability, falling to the bricks
Looking out to other, but it’s an internal fix
Efforts good enough today, don’t cut it for tomorrow
Trying to keep the peace, instead of sitting here with sorrow
Work 10 hour straight, work a couple more
They’re taking all you’re giving, gotta even up the score
& I know
Having a guilt trip feels out of your control
Just another guilt trip don’t let it take a toll
1:30 in the morning, trying to recreate the plan
Got your stamp of approval, but it won’t do for Stan
Thoughts swirling in my head, gonna put ‘em on the shelf
Try to keep them all happy, what about yourself
& I know
Having a guilt trip feels out of your control
Just another guilt trip don’t let it take a toll
Sit here in frustration, pulled in everyway
It’s what you have created, so take it day by day
Walking on egg shells, don’t want to crack
I may be helping you but what about Mac
Falling victim to everyone’s priority list
If you’ve been here before then you’ll get the gist
Having a guilt trip feels out of your control
Just another guilt trip don’t let it take a toll
Sit here in frustration, pulled in everyway
It’s what you have created, so take it day by day

Short End of the Stick

Little fight we had last night I said it hit all on the note
Come to my decision baby I believe it’s time I should go
Traveling ‘round with you so long I guess I lost sight of the road
I came in on, I hope it wasn’t wrong
Heavy sighs and long goodbyes now you’re back in my arms again
I say you stay with me forever, say you stay with me until the end
I’ve been thinking it over, there’s a lot of place I aint been oh no
She said uh slow down, turn around, I’m searching ‘til I finally found
A woman I can hang around
Downtown to get in the mix but they play me for a fool
Don’t know what they teach them in college but it sure aint the golden rule
All the boy are pointing at me and uh saying that I aint cool
They say uh slow down, turn around, if she’s worth anything to be found
You aint gonna find her downtown
Ran into an ex-girlfriend so I fed some lines
Hey baby god I miss you, you sure look fine
I remember your dress on my floor but not this time oh no
She said uh slow down, turn around, but when I turned around
The girl was not to be found

Henry's Revenge

I hear he’s doing fine but he lives a lie
I want to move along forget they done me wrong
Think they’ve seen the last of me that could come in time
But the way it is Stanley lives a lie
Just like everyday leaves me tired, sick, ashamed
Each morning night I pass my old home let it go
I can’t do no more
When I find my gun then we’ll have some fun
Gonna get my wife gonna end the lie
Just like everyday leaves me tired, sick, ashamed
Each morning night I pass my old home let it go
I can’t do no more
Home Now I’ve come to take my home
Home Now I’m here to take my home
Now we’re face to face Stanley’s out of place
Wants to make amends wants it all to end
But his way can never be cause it’s up to me
So I grab my gun & the time has come
Home Now I’ve come to take my home
Home Now I’m here to take my home
Home Now I’ve come to take my home
Home Now I’ve come come to take my home

Two States Away
03:39

You always adored me
Thought I did no wrong
Now I’m 2 states away from you
& I know the harm
Yesterday it was a good time
Then a habit it became
You were right there beside me
Always smile when you’re ashamed
When I drove across the river
Ammunition by my side
Bag of cash and bag of habit
Kept me going through the night
When the shots
& the pedal hit the floor
You were back at home cryin
I was heading for the door
Sister Kate, Sister Kate now I’m 2 states away
Sister Kate, Sister Kate always 2 states away
Please tell mother that I’m sorry
& tell father the same
There was nothing that could change me
& they needn’t feel the blame
Tell my nephew that I miss him
& his sister the same
Maybe someday I’ll meet them
But now I’m 2 states away
Sister Kate, Sister Kat now I’m 2 states away
Sister Kate, Sister Kate always 2 states away
Sister Kate, Sister Kate forever 2 states away
Sister Kate, Sister Kate only 2 states away

Barn
03:04
|

The corner of our living room has turned into a barn
All the animals have gathered ‘round they know they’ve found the one
This time each year we gather here grandma cries a happy tear
for the world, true peace on Earth
Mama cook the food as we’re piling in Grandpa gives us the blessing
We’re holding hands we bow our heads words he says fill the room
Well I close my eyes but not too tight I feel the magic of this night
And I’m smiling, thank God for living
Well I’m holding my girl but she still aint sure
But I don’t mind cause I’ve been there before
Though I know this love may one day end
I feel I’ve found my life again and I’m free
He died for me

I was born, I was born today
I was born, I was born today
I just want you to know
that things will go my way
44, I turned 44 today
44, I turned 44 today
I just want you to know
that something’s gotta change
Old man, he just wants to have his say
Old man, he just wants to have his say
looks me in the eye and says
His life was just OK
Just OK
Just OK
My life was Just OK

Long Haired Country Boy
03:12
|

People say I'm no-good,
And crazy as a loon.
I get stoned in the morning,
I get drunk in the afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound,
I like to lay around in the shade,
An', I ain't got no money,
But I damn sure got it made.
'Cos I ain't askin' nobody for nothin',
If I can't get it on my own.
If you don't like the way I'm livin',
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone.
Preacher man talkin' on the TV,
He's a-puttin' down the rock 'n' roll.
He wants me to send a donation,'Cos he's worried about my soul.
He said: "Jesus walked on the water,"And I know that is true,
But sometimes I think that preacher man,
Would like to do a little walkin', too.
But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin',
If I can't get it on my own.
You don't like the way I'm livin',
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone.
A poor girl wants to marry, And a rich girl wants to flirt.
A rich man goes to college,And a poor man goes to work.
A drunkard wants another drink of wine,And a politician wants a vote.
I don't want much of nothin' at all,But I will take another toke.
'Cos I ain't askin' nobody for nothin',If I can't get it on my own.
If you don't like the way I'm livin',
You just leave this long-haired country boy alone.

You think you know me
You didn’t know me back when
But I remember
Your ear to ear grin
You say we’re friends
But I don’t know when
Cold Dark Night
Laughing at the wind
Full moon picture
Shows me where I’ve been
Where I’ve been
Good to see you again
I hope you made some friends
Cause it’s getting closer
Closer to the end
You say we’re friends
But I don’t know when
