"Born In Time"

"Born In Time"


In the lonely night,
In the stardust of a pale moonlight,
I think of you in black and white
When we were made of dreams.

I walked alone through the shaky streets,
Listening to my heart beat
In the record-breaking heat
When we were born in time.

Just when I thought you were gone, you came back
Just when I was ready to receive you.
You were smooth, you were rough,
You were more than enough.
Ah babe, why did I ever leave you
Or believe you?

In the rising curve,
Where the ways of nature will test every nerve,
I took you close and got what I deserve
When we were born in time.

Just when I knew who to thank, you went blank
Just as the firelight was gleaming.
You were snow, you were rain,
You were stripes and you were plain.
Oh babe, can it be you've been scheming
Or was I dreaming?

In the hills of mystery,
In the foggy web of destiny,
You're still so deep inside of me
When we were born in time.

"Born To Lose"

"Born To Lose"


Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you

Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you

Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face each empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you.

"Bottle Of Red Wine"

"Bottle Of Red Wine"


Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I can't get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.

Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
You hear what I say?
Gonna love you anyway.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.

I went to an all-night get together
And everyone I knew was there.
Had the love that would last forever.
Everywhere I looked, I saw you standing there.

Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
I can't get up out of bed
With this crazy feeling in my head.
I said get up right now, oh oh.
I said get up right now.
Feel so bad this morning; got a terrible headache in my head.
Do me a favor, baby, do me a favor please.
Please get up; get your man a bottle of red wine.
Get up, get up; get your man a big big bottle of red wine.

"Breaking Point"

"Breaking Point"


Well I just don't get it
Can't make the pieces fit
I might just as well forget it
But my heart won't let me quit

[Chorus:]
You say it's only a part of love
That's right
But I get a little worried sometimes
When I start to lose
Tired of holding it together
When I know I'm going to blow another fuse
I'm at my breaking point
My breaking point
I'm at my breaking point
My breaking point

Well you're never gonna get it
If you don't get up and try
Try and spread those wings around me
Honey let me see you fly

[Chorus]

Maybe someday you'll recover
I can see it in your eyes
One more thing that you'll discover
That you'll finally realize

"Broken Down"

"Broken Down"


Everything was wonderful when you were in my life.
Yesterday we were on a roll, baby, then we end up in a fight.
Everywhere I look, I see problems, where I never seen before.
The cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don't even fit the door.

[Chorus:]
The moon don't shine, it's broken down.
The clouds are crying, they're broken down.
The car won't start, it's broken down.
And this shattered heart, it's broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.

Stepped outside into the night, I took a walk around the block.
I stopped by the church that I used to go inside but even that door was locked.
So I came back home, feeling so alone, a light had burned out in the hall.
My TV is broke, said I'm out of smoke, there's no one I can even call.

[Chorus]

Said my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.

Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.
Till you come back, come back to me, I'm going to be broken down.

[Chorus]

I mean my whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, I've broken down.
My whole damn world, it's broken down.
Since you left me girl, it's broken down.

"Broken Hearted"

"Broken Hearted"


When the wind blows down this hard,
Many a bond is broken.
See the water lie on the ground
From where the heavens opened.

Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the broken hearted.

So you've gone beyond your means,
Every wound is open,
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
And all your fears unspoken.

[Repeat First Chorus]

Sweet revenge is spoken then;
In the twilight it is gone.
To living lies with no escape,
Lord, I would rather be alone.

I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming,
To sing you songs from olden times,
To keep the love light gleaming.

'Cause there's a place where we can go,
Where we will not be parted.
And who alone will enter there?
Only the broken hearted.

Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.
Only the broken, broken hearted.

"Cajun Moon"

"Cajun Moon"


Cajun moon, where does your power lie
As you move across the southern sky
You took my babe way too soon
What have you done, Cajun moon
Someday babe, when you want your man
And you find him gone, just like the wind
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause Cajun moon took him from you
When daylight fades, the night comes on
You can hear the silence of this song
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause he got me like he got you

"Call Me The Breeze"

"Call Me The Breeze"


They call me the breeze, I keep blowing down the road
They call me the breeze, I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody, I ain't carrying me no load

Ain't no change in the weather, ain't no change in me
Ain't no change in the weather, ain't no change in me
I ain't hidin' from nobody, ain't nobody hidin' from me

I got that green light, babe, I got to keep moving on
I got that green light, babe, I got to keep moving on
I might go out to California, might go down to Georgia, might stay home

"Can't Find My Way Home"

"Can't Find My Way Home"


Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.

[Chorus:]
But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.

Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.

[Chorus]

But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
But I can't find my way home.
Still I can't find my way home,
And I ain't done nothing wrong,
But I can't find my way home.

"Can't Hold Out Much Longer"

"Can't Hold Out Much Longer"


You know I'm just crazy about you baby,
Wonder, do you ever think of me.
You know I'm crazy about you baby,
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.

Well I can't sleep at night
I just cats nap through the day
I can't hold out much longer
Lord, living this way.

You know I'm just crazy about you baby,
Wonder, do you ever think of me.
You know I'm in love with you darling,
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.

Now there ain't but the one thing momma
That makes your daddy drink.
When you say that you don't love me,
Well lord I begin to think.

You know I'm just crazy about you baby,
Wonder, do you ever think of me.
You know I'm wild about you honey,
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
