"Ab's Song"
(originally by Marshall Tucker Band)



If i die at 23
Won't you bury me
In the sunshine?
Please let me know
That you're still mine.
Though I'm gone,
My love for you
Is, oh, so strong.

And when the grass grows over me,
Let me know
You still love me.
Never put nobody else
Above me.
Then I'll know
My love for you
Will always grow.

"About A Bruise"

"About A Bruise"


A weed believes the garden
Sunday cloves don't fool me
The sky is full of our prayer, prayer
When you were making moonlight
The mall cops in Mobile
The night fell from their eyes, from their eyes
This is ballroom stone
I'd help you let your hair down
Point to birds, then you'd say, "Bang, bang"
The sun left every evening, good grass was dying
You drew your dawn on the world, on the world

Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
Or walking into water after dark

Your papa saw me coming
"Blood knows when it's worth it,"
Aw, you said, you said like a song, a song
Jesus left a best friend
Minds less forget of
His field is waiting for wind, for the wind
Mobile had your moonlight
But the line cook had candy
You let him blow your candle a bit
(Hoo hoo hoo, haha)
Ring a bell that's broken
That sound is loud inside us
Flowing farther away, far away

Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
Or walking into water after dark

Love can last a lifetime
This is Alabama
And a wheel is forgiving the road, the road
Now you're making music for beautiful people by the sea
Who don't need a song, need a song

Tenderness to you was only talk about a bruise
This is Alabama

"Am I A Good Man?"
(originally by Them Two)

"Am I A Good Man?"
(originally by Them Two)



Am I a good man?
Am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me or am I just playin' it cool?

I have a woman and I know she's no good
still I hold my head up high
and try to do the things that a good man should

Does that make me a good man?
Am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me or am I just playin' it cool?

She has made my whole life a mess
still I work day and night for her
so she can always have the best

Does that make me a good man?
Am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me or am I just playin' it cool?

The best of her love she gives to someone else
But still before I hurt my little girl
I'd rather hurt myself

Make me a good man?
Am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me or am I just playin' it cool?

She's made my whole life a mess
still I work day and night for her
so she can always have the best

Does that make me a good man?
Am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me or am I just playin' it cool?

Am I a good man? Am I a good man?
Am I weak? Somebody tell me
Am I just playin' it cool

You know I love her
Am I a fool?
Am I a fool?

"An Angry Blade"

"An Angry Blade"


Who left you so?
Who left you so?
Who left you so?
Striking a match for the keyhole
Dark as the evening laid
When he left you all alone
Turning to fade through the sawgrass
Tall as the only love
That you'll ever really know
Who left you so?
Who left you so?
Who left you so?
Grace is a gift for the fallen dear
You're an angry blade and you're brave
But you're all alone
Turning a shade of an angel born
In a bramble ditch when the doors
Of heaven closed

"Anyday Woman"
(originally by Bonnie Raitt)

"Anyday Woman"
(originally by Bonnie Raitt)



If you don't love her you'd better let her go
You'll never fool her you're bound to let it show
Love's so hard to take when you have to fake
Everything in return
You just preserve her
When you serve her a little tenderness.

If she's a woman she'll try to make it last
If you're a man now you'd better end it fast
There's no reason here, no treason here
Just the way a womans mind
Well she has no blame, she has no shame
She just loves you

It's not easy to undo what's done
Or to speak too freely to just anyone
And if this takes more than you bargained for
Boy it's time you learned
Not to talk so loud or walk so proud
When you're comin' on.

"Arms Of A Thief"

"Arms Of A Thief"


Mr.Henry and the muscle man
Gave her shoes on a night there was no room to stand
And like a letter in a stolen purse
She was bored of her weight, she was bored of her words
The daughter of a soldier told the fallen priest
'It's a cold, cold place in the arm's of a thief.'
And reaching out to touch the steering wheel she said
'Leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright?
Alright?
Mr.Henry and another guy
Gave her gold on a night that it fell from the sky
And like her body when the buzzard came
She was bored of her luck, she was bored of her name
The daughter of a lawyer told the fallen priest
'It's a cold, cold place in the arm's of a thief'
And dabbing at the arrow in her heel she said
'Leave me alone but just don't leave me here alright?'
Mr.Henry was a dying man
With advice in a tongue that she didn't understand.
And like the water when the sea got rough,
She was bored of the breeze, she was bored of her love.
The winner and the loser told the fallen priest,
'It's a cold,cold world in the arm's of a thief'
And holding everything he made her steal she said
'Leave me alone but just don't leave me here, alright?'

"Baby Center Stage"

"Baby Center Stage"


Mama called you "Baby Center Stage"
She could really run her mouth
Baton Rouge called you "Petite Ange"
When Birmingham had run you out
Doesn't anybody see how scared you are?
There was a time when I was running you down
But the world kept spinning around
Doesn't anybody see how scared you are?
There was a time when you were running to me
But the lightning spared the tall tree
When your moon lights up the riverside
Slinging mud and bad blood
You can call me anytime
For all it's worth, Louisiana's still not enough
In your restless days
I got lost, I got saved
In your restless nights
I swung blind, somehow falling into the light
Doesn't anybody see how scared you are?
There was a time I was running you down
But the world kept spinning around
Doesn't anybody see how scared you are?
There was a time when you were running to me
But the hurricane had mercy
In your restless days
All that wind, all those waves
In your restless nights
We closed our eyes, killed each other, and came to life
In your restless days
I made my bed and dug my grave
In your restless nights
We both swung blind, somehow falling into the light

"Belated Promise Ring"

"Belated Promise Ring"


Sunday morning my Rebekahs sleeping in with me again
There's a kid outside the church kickin' a can
When the ceder branchs twist she turns her collar to the wind
The weather can close the world within it's hands
And my mother says Rebekah is as stubborn as the come
They both call me to with words I never knew
There's a bug inside the thimble theres a band aid on her thumb
And a pony in the river turning blue
They say time may give you more then your poor bones could ever take
My Rebekah says she never wants a boy
To be barefoot on the driveway as they wave and ride away
And to run inside and curse the open door
I once gave to my Rebekah a belated promise ring
And she sold it to the waitress one a train
I may find her by the phone booth with a fashion magazine
She may kiss me when her girlfriends leave again
They say time may give you more then your poor bones could ever take
I think I could never love another girl
To be free atop a tree stump and to look the other way
While she shines my mothers imitation pearls
Sunday evening, my Rebeka's lost a book she never read
And the moon fell into the sea
So the statues of our fathers in the courthouse flowerbed
Now they bend with all the lighting tattered trees
They say time may give you more then your poor bones could ever take
My Rebekah said she knew I'd want a boy
A dollar for my boardwalk red balloon to float away
She would earn a pocketful to buy me more

"Beneath The Balcony"

"Beneath The Balcony"


Let's go out and dance, darling, our last of days
And grace the game with a blindfold on
The cheaters came to play
And outside the soft-handed boys
Screaming cars and all their speed
Music, math, a hero begging change
His sword across his knees

And how he prays to find a man to blame
For every sleepless night he spends
And for every well that he warned me of
But wound up falling in
And then for the kids beneath the balcony
Who disregard the rain
To make sure the king won't grant
The dead man one more day

Let's go out and see, darling
What shines tonight
And temper your dream about the dying horse
With traffic, noise, and light
And somewhere the soft-handed boys
Bleeding hearts, and worker bees
Give to the holy mother begging change
Christ across her knees

And oh, how she prays to find a man to blame
For every loveless night she waits
And for every gun that she frowned upon
But still some fucker made
And then for the kid beneath the balcony
Behind the garbage can
Who waits for the king to come
And hold his sweating hand
