"Get Outta My Life"
(feat. Hank Williams III)

"Get Outta My Life"
(feat. Hank Williams III)



I've been cool for far too long
Just a matter of time before I break
I took more shit than I wanted to take
You can't look me in the eyes
Somethings gone wrong and you know I know
I'm like a stick of dynamite ready to blow
I just can't accept your lies no more
It ain't my fault that you can't take it
Just ain't cool if you have to fake it

Don't threaten me just pack your trash
And don't let the door hit you in the ass
Get outta my life!

[Chorus:]
Get up get gone I gotta keep on keeping on
Too much pain and too much strife up yours
Get outta my life!
Get up get gone I gotta keep on keeping on
Too much pain and too much strife up yours
Get outta my life!

I ain't gonna be cool no more
You took advantage of my whole deal
This ain't about you it's the way I feel
Nothin's ever good enough
Your never satisfied heard it all before
When you give all you got you can't give no more
It's too late to change my mind
I can't turn back the hands of time
You should have noticed the danger sign

Don't threaten me just pack your trash
And don't let the door hit you in the ass
Get outta my mother fucking like!

[Chorus 2x]

"Gone (Like)"

"Gone (Like)"



She's taken to walking alone in the evening
She's taken to sleeping all night in his chair
Together they both had a reason for living
Back when the felling of loving was there
Then she took to dreaming when he wasn't looking
And he took to looking for moments alone
Together they drifted apart from each other
Together they both knew the felling was gone

Gone like the sparrow south for the winter
Gone like the river out to the sea
Gone like the leaves from the trees when its snowing
Gone like the love that they once gave so free

Till he took to starring at his lonesome shadow
And she took to humming the words to some song
They both felt it slipping that feeling of giving
Leaving the feeling of being alone
Each of them reach out for the other
Together they go though the motions alone
Trying to pretend that nothing else matters
Making believe that their love isn't gone

"Got You On My Mind"

"Got You On My Mind"



Got you on mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low

Wonderin' where you are
Wonderin' why you had to go

Tears began to fall
Every time I hear your name

Tears began to fall
Every time I hear your name

Since you went away
Nothing seems to be the same

No matter how I try
My heart keeps telling me that I
Can't forget you

If it should ever be
That you wanna come back to me
I'm gonna let you

Got you on my mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low

Got you on mind
Fellin' kind of sad and low

Wonderin' where you are
Wonderin' why you had to go

"Gotta Serve Somebody"

"Gotta Serve Somebody"



You may be an ambassador
To England or France
You might like to gamble
You might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight
Champion of the world
You might be a socialite
With a long string of pearls

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

Now you may be a state trooper
You might be a young Turk
You may even be the head of some great big TV network
You may be rich or poor
And you may be blind to change
You may be living in another country under another name

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re still gonna have to serve somebody

May be a construction worker
Workin’ on a home
Might be living in a mansion
You might live in a dome
You may own guns
You may even own tanks
You may be somebody landlord
You may even own banks

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

Now you can call me Jerry
Or you might call me Moe
You may call me David
Or you might call me Coe
You call me RJ
You can call me Ray
You can call me anything
I don’t care what you say

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

You might be a rock and roll star
Prancin’ on a stage
Plenty of drugs at your command
Women in a cage
You might be a business man
Or some high D grade thief
They may call you Doctor
They may call you Chief

But you’re gonna have to server somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It may be the Devil
Or it might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

It may be the Devil
It might be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody

Serve somebody
Whoa man you’re gonna have to serve someone
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
Serve somebody
It might be the Devil
Serve somebody
Oh it might be the Lord
Serve somebody

"Greener Than The Grass We Laid On"

"Greener Than The Grass We Laid On"



I painted quite a picture for the girls in her home town
And she was no exception to the rule
Singing all them songs about the places I've been
Made a body fell just like a fool
She was like the paper bag that once had held the wine
Thrown without no caution to the wind
I left her like the empty bottle lying' on the ground
Swearing' I'd pick her up again

She was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama sun
I guess she should have known
That old' highway was my home
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do

I said she was prettier than Paris in the rain
Lord, I filled her full of gypsy lies
Swearing' I'd be coming back to fetch her in the Spring
Too ashamed to look her in the eye
She looked about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn
Sneaking' in her house at 3 a.m.
Her Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure
Her intuition told her where we'd been

She was greener than the grass we laid on
Underneath that Alabama sun
I guess she should have known
That old' highway was my home
She should have never listened to my songs, to my songs
She should have never listened to my songs.

"Guilty Footsteps"

"Guilty Footsteps"



The key turns in the door the boards squeak on the floor
And guilty footsteps linger on the hall
I'd fight but I'm too weak pretending I'm asleep
While hearing guilty footsteps in the hall

Guilty footsteps always wake me up at night when she comes in
Guilty footsteps tiptoe through my mind they tell me where she's been
True love has no pride but he's not satisfied
Unless he has her at his beck and call
I know now how he works so I'll fight dirt with dirt
To stop those guilty footsteps in the hall

Guilty footsteps always wake me up at night when she comes in
Guilty footsteps tiptoe through my mind they tell me where she's been
The next time she comes home she'll find herself alone
Then she can read the writing on the wall
I wonder if she'll take it or if she'll try to fake it
When she hears my guilty footsteps in the hall
Oh when she hears my guilty footsteps in the hall

"Hank Williams Junior-Junior"

"Hank Williams Junior-Junior"



I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore

Just a little bit of Waylon sure goes a long way
But old Tex Ritter rode his horse and that was hell to pay
Willie said,"Don't nobody lay a hand on the bay
Jimmie Rodgers is the only reason that I'm standin' here today"

And I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Dickey betts

Hank sang it all right from the heart, took the whole world by surprise
Stood right next to Elvis in Memphis and looked him straight in the eyes
Ten years later young Bocephus busted through the door
And I just can't call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore

I ain't gonna call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore
Even though I know what all his daddy done before
Hank weighs close to 200 pounds and he stands about 6 foot 4
And it's hard to call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore

From Alabama young Bocephus busted through the door
And I just can't call Hank Williams Junior Junior anymore

"He Will Break Your Heart"

"He Will Break Your Heart"



He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin'
(I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause

He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you

"He's Taking It Hard (She's Taking It Easy)"

"He's Taking It Hard (She's Taking It Easy)"



He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
She's living it up and he's living it down
He's walking the floor looking for answers
She's out on the floor all over town

Ain't that the way that love goes when love goes to pieces
Ain't that the truth when you find out you're living a lie
Ain't love the reason we both took a chance on each other
Ain't it each other we both swore we wanted to try

He's taking it hard she's taking it easy
She's drying her eyes but his are still wet
He wishes he could just hold her until she remembers
She wishes she could find someone to make her forget
He's taking it hard she's taking it easy

"Headed For The Country"

"Headed For The Country"


Lightly tripping through
The misty dripping morning
Up the stairs to see if she was home
When I found a note
That she'd wrote with a pen
Attached upon her door
And the two weeks stack of daily papers
Said goodbye to someone that I love

[Chorus:]
And it looks as if she's headed
For the country once again
Far from the city sidewalks
The neons and the rain
Back to the grassy meadows
To run barefoot through the wind
They tell me that she's headed
for the country once again

I miss her sermons of
Seek and ye shall find
Truth is just a bluebird flying blind
And a special prayer for those
Whose mind should ever flow
One for the weary, for the sick
And the passing of the good

[Chorus]
