"To Get Your Love"

"To Get Your Love"


I like the way you look
Play the game so well
I like the way you move
Oh baby you move so well
I like the way you shake shake shake
Shake a tail feather baby
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do
To get your love

On a trail of broken dreams
This road I ride
I need to kill these aching blues
What I feel inside
I love the way you look
What your eyes seem to say
Yeah, I know the danger
I take my chances anyway

Oh, nothing I wouldn't do
To get your love
To get your love
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do
To get your love
Oh, kill these aching blues
I scream to the good Lord
The good Lord way above
Oh Lord please help me
There ain't nothing I wouldn't do
To get your love

To get your love
Your sweet love
Ain't nothing I wouldn't do
To get your love
Your sweet, sweet love

"Too Big City"

"Too Big City"


Well there's a big blue sky
The good Lord painted for me
From the east of Arizona
Down to the mexican sea

Oh this too big city,
It don't let me feel free
I'm going to pack up soon
Take off on my own
They call it the mother road
She gonna take me back home
Because this too big city
Got nothing but a heart of stone

Now there's a sense of freedom
Out along these country lines
I don't need no pressure
Trying to make your oxygen mine
Oh this too big city is gonna kill itself
For a nickel and dime

Goodbye, all my troubles will be gone
Well I'm going back home, back to where I belong

Goodbye

"Too Far From Home"

"Too Far From Home"


You may find me
Wherever you go
From New York City
Way out to Chicago
I'm the son of a restless sailor
Blessed with Irish bones
Sometimes I feel like
I'm too far from home

I will sing
And I will dance for you
Every land you go
You will always see
There'll be big stout glasses
Full to the white top
There'll be stories
And there'll be me

Across the wild sea
I've travelled far
Born to move on
Born to roam
But lately I've been feeling
Like I'm too far from home

Whatever happened
To the girl I loved
Oh I ask forgiveness
To the one above
There was a day I could have made it real fine
Something went wrong I forget
Too far down that line

Across the wild sea
Too far along down along that line
Across the wild sea
Born to roam
But lately I've been feeling
Like I'm too far from home

"Too Much Drinkin'"

"Too Much Drinkin'"


I went down to the juke joint
See what I could find
I went down to the juke joint
See what I could find
Well I lost all my money
Too much drinking on my mind
There was a girl down from Jackson
Oh my she looked fine
Yeah there was a girl down from Jackson
Oh my how she looked so fine
She took off with all that I had
Too much drinking on my mind

Now I'm laid out in a jailhouse
But I did not do no crime
Now I'm laid out in a jailhouse
But I did not do no crime
Where I was I don't remember
Too much drinking on my mind
Yeah, they fixed me up real good
Yeah, they fixed me up real fine
I could not think of no alibi
Cos too much drinking on my mind

"Too Much Pride"

"Too Much Pride"


Say good morning this is your lucky day
Most of your problems they're gonna slip away
Oh I'm gonna help you, I can show you the way
So give me so time my friend and hear what I say

You got too much pride, too much pride
Drive yourself crazy, you got too much pride

Take a look at the downside anyway that you choose
Out here on the upside you ain't got nothing to lose
Oh I'm gonna help you, I can show you the way
So give me some time my friend and hear what I say

You got too much pride, too much pride
Drive yourself crazy, you got too much pride

Too much pride it will drive you wild
It will burn your soul, cut you deep inside
Drag you down, get in your way
So take a look my friend listen what I say

You got too much pride, too much pride
Drive yourself crazy, you got too much pride

"Touche D'Amour"

"Touche D'Amour"


Touche D'amour
Yours is a sunny day
Of this I'm sure
Blowing my clouds away

I just don't know what this could do to me
I only want it to be
Touche D'amour
Touche D'amour
Sailing around the room like never before
Could never have come too soon
I want this dance to last forever
For it to last forever more
Touche D'amour

"Truck Stop"

"Truck Stop"


I see everybody trying to break free
Boy, girl, man or woman it's all the same to me
I take the money, smile and say thank you
See their freedom fade away from the place they're
going to

All the single souls
A thousand stories to be told
They cut loose, out here, standing all alone
Something tells me they ain't rushing
Ain't rushing
To get home

Down at the truckstop
Step out your truck or car
Nobody knows who you really are
Truck stop
Did you lose or did you win
Nobody knows, you can be anything
Down at the truck stop ...

The only piece of life that you feel free
You can pretend you are
What you always wanted to be
Gas tank full and a dream still gets to you
Oh the great big you
That no one ever knew

Truck stop, you're not what you left behind
Truck stop, you're free from the ties that bind
Truck stop, one thousand stories to be told
Truck stop
Down at the truck stop

Step out your truck or car
Nobody knows who you really are
Truck stop
Did you lose or did you win
Nobody knows, you can be anything
Down at the truck stop ...

"Twisted Wheel"

"Twisted Wheel"


I can see him now, standing on a street corner
Pastel shades and a candy stripe parallel
Good time love, oh that I'd been much older
Go messing with the boys from the incrowd
But all I could do was wish them farewell

What's that strange music
What's that fully rhythm
They call it Blue Beat, but you can call it young love
You can call it tamla dream
Down at your local Motown machine
I need to be loved
Down at your Twisted Wheel

And I can see that little stage
All the hands up in the air
Bombers and blues gonna see us through
Got my new lime suit mohair
With a single vent sixteen inch
Got my two-stroke wheels outside
We only need the High Numbers now
And anything on stateside
Down at your Twisted Wheel

"Two Days Missing Down The Viper Room"

"Two Days Missing Down The Viper Room"


I went down to the Viper room
Just the other day
I only popped by
For something to take away
Just for a while I thought I'd stay
Two shots of whiskey and the band began to play
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble

I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble

My baby she gone
Without a trace
I got blood on my jacket
And a bruise on my face
They say the cops are coming
Yeah they get me soon
They seem to know what happened
Down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room

"Two Lost Souls"

"Two Lost Souls"


She was tired of it all
But she never let it show
If a half chance ever came up

She was ready to go
He was drowning in sadness
And had forgot all the reasons why
He often faked a tiny display
That put a tear in his eye

They went way past the turn off
And into the night
Two lost souls
Looking for a light

How it all ended
Nobody knows
The alarm started ringing
When they failed to show
Did they end up being happy
No one can say
Two lost souls in the dark night
Looking for day

Sometimes it can happen
Who dare say it's wrong or right
Some poor souls trying to fight it
And keep their heartache
Clean out of sight

Two scared souls in the darkness
Looking for a light
Say a prayer for those lost souls
Pray it was all worth the fight
Two lost souls in the darkness
Looking for a light
Two lost souls in the darkness
Two lost souls in the darkness
Looking for a light
Say a prayer for the two lost souls
Looking for a light
Yeah, two lost souls
