"Had To Cry Today"

"Had To Cry Today"


It's already written that
Today will be one to remember
The feeling's the same as
Being outside of your door

Had to cry today
Well I saw your sign
And I missed you there

I'm taking the chance to see
The wind in your eyes while I listen
You say you can't reach me
But you want everyone to be free

"Happier Times"

"Happier Times"


The shape that I'm in
Never let her down a day in my life
Tree's all around me
As I see the time pass me by

Never trade you for the world
Never do the things I used to
I guess it's not good enough
This I see

But I'll remember happier times

Life it hits me
Comes faster now day by day
Places that I've been
Are not the place I wanna be

Never trade you for the world
Never do the things I used to
I guess it's not good enough
This I see

And I'll remember happier times

Friday comes and goes
I guess I won't talk to you anymore
So many things unsaid
So many things I wanna say

Never trade you for the world
Never do the things I used to
I guess it's not good enough
This I see

But I'll remember happier times
And Now remember happier times

"Headaches To Heartbreaks"

"Headaches To Heartbreaks"


I have my bad days, have my good days too.
They all coincide with my new attitude yeah.
And pretty baby to the blues I sing - it's my only teacher.

Just headaches to a heartbreak.
Never meant to (need help here)
I feel like I've been used, never want to see you again.

But it's bittersweet, and interesting what the world brings;
I know that now.
I'm gonna have my say - this is time when I turn the page;
Headaches to heartbreaks.

I'm from the old school, like the old rules,
Don't care anymore what you're gonna do.
Just shake up the system, (need help here) listen to you.

A friend of mine, past his prime,
Struggled for a chance to make a dime.
Now for no reason he committed treason again.

But it's bittersweet, interesting what the world brings;
I know that now.
I'm gonna have my say - this is time when I turn the page;
Headaches to heartbreaks.

"Heartache Follows Wherever I Go"

"Heartache Follows Wherever I Go"


Maybe I'm done crying all them tears
Maybe this love ain't a souvenir
I hope I ain't being a fool
'Cause love going wrong can be so cruel

Maybe I'm walking right into a trap
Maybe some karma just gettin' me back
Maybe this dust on my hand is gold
'Cause heartbreak follows me wherever I go
Winds in my favor, suns at my back
I don't pay those dues and I'm due some money back

You look like your
Life's been a mess
Was it just like me
I've been down to the bottom and I know it hurts
I've been kicked in the chin, baby
I've grown in the dirt
Winds in my favor, suns at my back
I don't pay those dues and I'm due some money back

You look like your
Life's been a mess
Was it just like me
I've been down to the bottom and I know it hurts
I've been kicked in the chin, baby
I've grown in the dirt

Maybe I left it all behind
Different town at another time
Cover my tracks, wear a disguise
Looking a little piece of mind

Maybe the truth is just a lie
Maybe there's no good reason why
Maybe this dust on my hands is gold
'Cause hearbreak follows me wherever I go
Hearbreak follows me wherever I go
Hearbreak follows me wherever I go

"Heartbreaker"

"Heartbreaker"


Well my maker
Must've been a hard heartbreaker
And I'll tell you why
Said my maker
Must've been a hard heartbreaker (until you)
I'll tell you why

I'm breaking my own heart
Tryin' to love a faker

I tell your soul, hmm
Just like a blind, blind man
My little house is on fire
Hmm
Just like a blind man
My little house is on fire

I'm burning my own eyes out
Tryin' to reach the door

Well the sun is shining (well the sun it was shining)
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart (hmm my heart is cold, it is)
Well the sun is shining (well the sun is shining)
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart (reach my heart)
But I was cold

I'm wasting my whole life
Tryin' to make a new start

To make a new start
Hmm,
Gonna make a new start
Gonna make a new start
Gonna make a new start
Make a new start

"Heavenly Soul"

"Heavenly Soul"


Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old Marley Quinn go
Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old Marley Quinn go

I got peaches in my pantry,
Bacon upon my shelf
I got peaches in my pantry,
Bacon upon my shelf
Well I'm so damn tired of being by myself

Well I had a good woman but
Unkindness drove her away
Well I had a good woman but
Unkindness drove her away
In the summer '29 landlord sent her away

Whoa, whoa,

[Solo]

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old Marley Quinn go
Heavenly soul, heavenly soul
Where did old Marley Quinn go

I tried to forget her,
Act like a reckless man
So I tried to forget her,
And act like a reckless man
Well I swallowed my pride and that did it in again,

And my father told me, plant in the dirt, my son.
Well my father told me, plant in the dirt, my son,
But for 200 years my family worked his lands.

Woo-ho-oh, woo-ho-oh.

But I plant this-a road, to fulfill my life,
To this piece of land that I always knew was ours.
But I know for certain right now, I was wrong.

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul,
Where did old Marley Grace go-oh?

Woo-ho-oh, woo-ho-oh.

"High Water Everywhere"

"High Water Everywhere"


Well there’s high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows
Well there’s high water everywhere
Lord the river overflows

You go where its high boy
Down to hill country road
Still the water was rising
I been sinking down

Man, that water was rising
At all places around
Where the fifty men and children, come to sink and drown
Now we’re looking at New Orleans, where the crest stood high

Nobody said it was rising, one more time silver lie
Should move up much higher, before I sink and die

"How Deep The River Runs"

"How Deep The River Runs"


Dark moon levy road
Weighed down in broken souls
Black water on both sides
Nowhere to turn around
Cruel words bad joke
Tread water till you can’t float
Gotta know that she’s the one

And how deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs

Red lips, blue heart
On the shore and torn apart
Can’t see beyond the light
And that’s not very far
Swam out against the tide
In between the truth and lies
Gonna see where this love comes from

And how deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs

Old fears won’t leave
Staring back at you and me
Let go and hold on
Too late and too far gone
Out here without a boat
How was I supposed to know
I’ll tell you when it’s done

How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs
How deep this river runs

"I Don't Live Anywhere"

"I Don't Live Anywhere"


Got no ceiling but the sky,
Like the world babe, just rolling by.
I don’t live anywhere, I live everywhere,
This road is my home.

There’s nine-to-fives, pretty yards,
That was never babe, in the cards.
I don’t live anywhere, I live everywhere,
This road is my home.

The clamours and glamours of the city, I don’t need ‘em.
As long as I live, let me hold on to my freedom!

It’s crossed my mind now and then,
A little too late babe, go back and start again.
I don’t live anywhere, I live everywhere,
This road is my home.

The clamours and glamours of the city, I don’t need ‘em.
As long as I live, let me hold on to my freedom!

It’s crossed my mind, now and then,
A little too late baby, go back and start again.
I don’t live anywhere, I live everywhere,
This road is my home - this road is my home.

"I Gave Up Everything For You, 'Cept The Blues"

"I Gave Up Everything For You, 'Cept The Blues"


Put down that two pack habit yesterday
Threw that show glass just to watch it break
My whiskey bottle turned upside down in the drain
Those wild women that's a whole another thing

I give up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues

Went on a diet, yeah I'm eating good
Gave up the things you said I should
Fit as a fiddle girl I lost ten pounds
So why am I so damn down?

I give up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues

Put out the reefer, no more getting stoned
Trade in my fast car for a motor home
Took all my demons, put 'em in a sack
How come I still fell there's a monkey on my back

I give up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues

I had the good life in the days I was king
Ain't nothing left now but the same old blues I sing

Gave up everything, baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
