"Last Kiss"

"Last Kiss"


Tell me how high, cotton has to grow
Tell me how high, cotton has to grow
'Fore you get a man with a rusty blade and a hoe

Tell me who's that on, when I can get no ride
Tell me who's that on, when I can get no ride
That's why I get antsy, and steal a kiss before I die

I've been knocked down, stood up, all in the name of goodbye's
I've been locked down, beat up, all in the name of goodbye's Mmmmmm
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die

Tell me how long, supposed to keep a good man down
Tell me how long, supposed to keep a good man down
'Fore he packs his suitcase, and get's the hell outta town

Now that I'm gone, who's gonna work the land
Now that I'm gone, who's gonna work the land
Just to make sure this, Dirt don't turn into sand

I've been knocked down, stood up, all in the name of goodbye's
I've been locked down, beat up, all in the name of goodbye's Mmmmmm
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die hey yeah

I've been knocked down, stood up, all in the name of goodbye's Mmmmmm
I've been locked down, beat up, all in the name of goodbye's
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die

Mmmmmmm Mmmmm Mmmm
Mmm Mmm Mm Mmmmm Mmmm

"Lie, No. 1"

"Lie, No. 1"


You said you weren't a good liar. That was Lie #1.
You said your partying days were over, but the party's just begun.

You said it was a Friday thing, a shot or two of booze.
And in the middle of Tuesday, you're drunk and can't find your shoes.
You let all your lovers go, you swore to God it was true,
The phone is ringing off the hook, with dudes looking for you.

You whisper things I've never heard.
But the thing is baby, I believed every word.

You said you weren't a good liar. That was Lie #1.
You said your partying days were over, but the party's just begun.
Lie #1, Lie #1 – oh help me now.

[Lead Break]

It seems you've been hangin' out, in some very sketchy places.
It seems you and the cops babe, on a first name basis.

You whisper things I've never ever heard.
But the thing is baby, I believed every word.

You said you weren't a good liar. That was Lie #1.
You said your partying days were over, but the party's just begun.

Now a thousand lies later, look at the damage you've done,
'Cuz I believed you honey - I believed Lie #1.
Lie #1, Lie #1, Lie #1…

"Livin' Easy"

"Livin' Easy"


She won't drive a Cadillac unless it’s new
She says gold is just a place to put my jewel
I work double shifts for one more pair of shoes
This livin’ easy's getting hard to do

My daddy said never spend more than you make
And that advice I've always tried to take
'til the day you walked into the room
Now livin’ easy's getting hard to do

Keep it simple
Man I'm trying
Start out lovin'
End up cryin'
Loan me a dollar
Some common sense
Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets

Put a million in the bank but you need two
Cause a man's gotta do what he's gotta do
I'm going back to bustin' ass and singing blues
This livin easy's getting hard to do

Keep it simple
Man I'm tryin'
Start out lovin'
End up cryin'
Loan me a dollar
Some common sense
Can't pay these credit cards on good looks and regrets

Put a tombstone in the back yard one day
Hand carved under my name it will say
Here lies a man who found out far too soon
This livin' easy’s gotten way too hard to do

'Til the day that you walked into the room
This livin easy's getting hard to do

"Living On The Moon"

"Living On The Moon"


Hard to breath, the airs been stoler
Without my suit, blues been swollen
It's got as hades
And it ain't ever noon
'Cause hanging round with you is like living on the moon

Threw me out, guess we're even
Took me back when I was leaving
Something tells me it was all too soon
'Cause hanging round with you is like living on the moon
There are times where you're the best thing on earth
When the sun comes up we stop throwing the dirt

Hard to keep my feet on the ground
Love the ups, hate the downs
If I steer right I might make it to the dunes
'Cause hanging out with you is like living on the moon
(Oh, hit me now!)

There are times where you're the best thing on earth
When the sun comes up we stop throwing the dirt
Maybe we just need some space
I'll leave my bag here just in case
Sometimes I feel like I've been marooned
'Cause hanging out with you is like living on the moon
'Cause hanging out with you is like living on the moon

"Lonely Town, Lonely Street"
(originally by Bill Withers)

"Lonely Town, Lonely Street"
(originally by Bill Withers)



You can live your life in a crowded city
You can walk along a crowded street
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly people
Friendly people that you meet
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty
And the dances you can't keep your seat
But, if dances don't lead to romances
You might as well be born, born with two left feet
You might be a sweet-toned sure enough high-class talker
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing
But it don't do much good to be talking
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody listening
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker
Don't impress the people that you meet
You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town, on a lonely street.

"Lonesome Road Blues"

"Lonesome Road Blues"


I don't need your constant heartache
All I have is my guitar and you
I turned thirty one years old today
All you gave me was that store bought blues

And I know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me

I long for those days of simple times
Day's when guitar strings a cost a dime
I'm the only one for you there is
Help me down baby, hell that is yeah

And I know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
Mmm mmmmm

I sold my soul for a pack of cigarettes yeah!
Mississippi is where I think my best
My string is crazy, I keep her sane
After me baby there's no one to blame

And I know how that lonesome
Lonesome road blues can be
Like a devil race car baby
Lonesome road comfort me
Like a devil race car baby
These ol' blues comfort me yeah

"Long Distance Blues"

"Long Distance Blues"


Hello long distance
put my baby on the line.
Hello long distance
put my baby on the line.
I've got to talk to my girl
and tell her what I have on my mind.

I've never been so lonesome,
and Ive never been so blue.
Ive never been so lonesome,
and I ain't never felt so blue.
It's been a long time baby,
Since I had a letter from you.

Well send me some money baby.
Please don't talk no trash.
What I need from you baby
Less talk, and a lot of cash.

Hello long distance
put my baby on the line.
I've got to talk to my girl
and tell her what I have on my mind

"Look Over Yonders Wall"

"Look Over Yonders Wall"


Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Yes I'm lookin out your window, here comes your man

Darlin I know your man went to war
Leave you was kinda rough, I don't know how many men he killed
But I believe it was enough
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Yes I'm lookin out your window, here comes your man

Well I know your man went to war
Leave you was kinda rough, I don't know how many men he killed
But it was enough

Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane

"Love Ain't A Love Song"

"Love Ain't A Love Song"


Happiness is a bottle, happiness is pain
Happiness is a woman who you love
'Till she goes on and shames you
Happiness is value, happiness is a poem
Happiness is a lie for you know the calm before the storm
Ain't nobody love you better, ain't nobody but me
And all I want is a fair shake at love
Get a little something for free

(Love ain't a love song)
Love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song)

Hip them all to the city
Hip them all to the scene
Hip them all to the woman you want
Bringing them all to their knees

Hip them all to the badlands
Hip them all to the stars
All I know is the woman I knew didn't get me too far
Ain't nobody love you better, ain't nobody but me
And all I want is a fair shake at love, get a little something for free
Ain't nobody work harder, ain't nobody love you more
All I know is the fall of a man wearing the crown of thorns

(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song) tell me baby, yeah!
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song) can tell me baby?
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song)

"Man Of Many Words"

"Man Of Many Words"


I don't care what nobody say
I'm a man of a many words
I can speak things to you darlin', my dear
That I swear that you never heard
I rap strong and I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
Say it baby
Alright

When I grab my game and call your name
You would never be the same
In the midnight hours when I dream of you
I swear that you'll call my name
I rap strong when I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
Tell me baby
Alright, child

I was hauled off to jail late last night
With no one to push my bail
I rapped strong to the judge early this morning
And the judge put the cops in jail
I rap strong and I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
Let me tell you baby
Oh, let me turn you on
tell me baby

And I don't care what nobody say
I'm a man of a many words
I can speak things to you darlin' my dear

I rap strong and I know it right along
Come on mama let me turn you on
