"What I've Known For A Very Long Time"

"What I've Known For A Very Long Time"


Oh what’s it really matter
Between you and me
Cause I’ve been chasing it down
A street of misery
But now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time
Five long years ago
When I saw you walk through the door
I’d been searching for love
That, oh, gave me more
But now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time

I’ve run into trouble baby
Time and time again
It’s in the wee, wee hours
When you need your best friend
Finally after all
All the sleepless nights
Find the one who makes you happy
Oh she makes it so, so right

Girl I’ll be strong for you, baby
When a good man is what you need
No more chasing it down a street of misery
Cause now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time

I’ve run into trouble baby
Time and time again
It’s in the wee, wee hours
When you need your best friend
Finally after all
All the sleepless nights
You find the one who makes you happy
Oh she makes it so, so right

Girl I’ll be strong for you, baby
When a good man is what you need
No more chasing it down a street of misery
Cause now I’ve been waiting
For you to recognize
What I’ve known for a very long time

"When She Dances"

"When She Dances"


The world is cold tonight
But everything will be alright
She walks into the room
Stars to know her light

[Chorus:]
When she dances
I see where my only chance is
I feel my whole life start, babe
When she loves me
You know she really loves me
She takes it to the heart

The club is closing down
But will we still hang around
To hear another tune
And feel this love we found

[Chorus]

The night's so fine
The rose is mine

She's dancing just for me
I see with every move she makes
How good it's gonna be

[Chorus]

She takes it to the heart

"When The Fire Hits The Sea"

"When The Fire Hits The Sea"


I'm no candle backing, blowin out in the wind
I'm no suffering like, the game I'm in
I'm no street walk, I got fire and brimstone
Sorry to disturb you, and your happy home

All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea
I'm gonna lay it on you child, bring it all to me

I'm no penny pusher still have my pride
I did you wrong baby, took you for a ride
I'm no rosetta stone, I learned my lessons
By the way baby thank you for the sessions

All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea
I'm gonna lay it on you child, bring it all to me

I'm no cop you can walk all over
When I say its done baby, I mean it's over
I don't know a bottle not filled with wine
I moved down to the quarry and I did my time

All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea
I'm gonna lay it on you child, bring it all to me

Bring it all to me, when the fire hits the sea

"Woke Up Dreaming"

"Woke Up Dreaming"


Woke up dreaming,
I was gonna die.
Woke up dreaming,
I was gonna die.
‘Cause my baby said her,
Said her last goodbyes.

Reached out for her,
And she was not there.
Reached out for her,
And she was not there.
Lord I miss her body,
And her long brown hair.

Heart rate fallin' - river flood,
Black cat bawlin' - moon drippin' blood.
Woke up dreamin', I was gonna die.
All my sins abound me,
It's my turn to cry.
Yeah...

[Pickin' Break]

Devil's risin',
You don't have a chance.
Devil's risin',
You don't have a chance.
Where there's fiddles playin',
Shake your bones and dance.

I just want to,
Live another day.
I just want to,
Live another day.
See that brown-haired woman,
Comin' back this way.
Oh Yeah...

"You Left Me Nothing But The Bill And The Blues"

"You Left Me Nothing But The Bill And The Blues"


I said lord help me now
I’m as mad as hell
I said lord help me now
I’ve been mad as hell
I may be breathing
But I ain’t doing so well
I’ve been forsaken time and time again
Time to wise up, baby
Remember where I’ve been
Pick up the tab all the time
It ain’t no way to win

I said take it all
Take it all
Take it all
You left me nothing, baby
Nothing but the bill and the blues

I said hey bartender pour me another glass of wine
I said hey bartender pour me another glass of wine
Come over here and look at this
It’s my very last dime
My baby she put on one great charade
Said my baby she put on one great charade
I did everything but throw a ticker tape parade

I said take it all
Take it all
Take it all
You left me nothing, baby
Nothing but the bill and the blues

Your Champagne glass ain’t empty it’s broken
Still see your lipstick on the edge of the glass
My money wasn’t take it was stolen
It all went down way too fast

I said take it all
Take it all
Take it all
You left me nothing, baby
Nothing but the bill and the blues
Oh you know I’m broke
Still paying the bills

"You Upset Me, Baby"

"You Upset Me, Baby"


Yes, she's 36 in the bust, 28 in the waist,
44 in the hip, she got a real crazy leg
You upsets me baby, yes, you upsets me baby
Yes, I'm telling you people she's something fine,
that you really outta see

Well, she's not too tall, complexion is fair,
man she knocked me out the way she wears her hair
You upsets me baby, Yes, you upsets me baby
Like being hit by a fallen tree,
woman, woman what you do to me

Well I, tried to describe her, it's hard to start
I better stop now because I got a weak heart
You upsets me, well, you upsets me baby
Well like being hit by a fallen tree,
woman, what you do to me

Well I, tried to describe her, it's hard to start
I better stop now because I got a very weak heart
You upsets me baby, yes, you upsets me baby
Well I've been hit by a fallen tree,
woman, what you do to me see.
