"New Coat Of Paint"
(originally by Tom Waits)



Let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress
Baby I'll a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky
All our scribbled love dreams are lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day
Our love needs a transfusion let's shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line.

So let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set em' up, set em' up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress baby
I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky

"Night Life"

"Night Life"


When the evenin', evenin' sun goes down
You gonna find me somewhere hangin' around
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes it is
Ooo many people just like you and me
They be dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Said the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Ooo, listen to the blues
Listen to the way they're playing
Listen to the blues, listen to what they're sayin'
Life baby, is just another scene
In this old world, world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
Yeah, it's my life

My life, yes it is

"No Good Place For The Lonely"

"No Good Place For The Lonely"


I keep walking, walking these cold city streets
Reliving all the wrong you’ve done to me
I look for some dark alleyway where I can hide
Don’t want no stranger oh to see me cry

I keep searching this world
For someone to hold me
Like you used to hold me
But there’s no good place for the lonely

Oh, one thing I found out about these memories
Sometimes they are sad even when they’re sweet
Every time a good thing has turned out to be bad
It might be the best thing, baby, you’re gonna ever have

I keep searching this world
For someone to hold me
Like you used to hold me
But there’s no good place for the lonely

I don’t know where I go from here
Cause every day, baby, it’s a little more clear
No one’s ever gonna know me like you know me
But there’s no good place for the lonely

I’ve been through the boss and I’ve got all the scars
Prove how hard love can be, beyond love
I keep searching this world
For someone to hold me
Like you used to hold me
But there’s no good place for the lonely
Cause this place is no good for the lonely

"No Love On The Street"

"No Love On The Street"


Baby woke up nervous
She was sweating from the steam heat
She kicked off the covers
Fever burning bright, paranoia night
Five alarm alert repeats
This city never beats you
But it buries you so deep
'Cause there ain't no love,
Ain't no love on the street

Baby's breathing deeply
She's listening to her heart beat
She walks into the kitchen
Dishes in the sink
Doesn't even matter
Maybe read a magazine
And the colored girls go
Whoop-de-doop-de-doop-de-doop-
Doop-de-doop-de-doop
'Cause there ain't no love,
Ain't no love on the street

Baby needs a frame of reference
Some other place to go
An all night launderette
Light a cigarette
Jump an usherette
Babe's an all night diner
She's got a trucker's appetite
'Cause there ain't ain't no love,
Ain't no love on the street

"No Slack"

"No Slack"


Somebody told me that you had changed
Since the day my life has become estranged
Well that's ok, you just put on that face
But in your heart I know of another place

So here we are, now we're just worlds apart
But were we any closer at the start?
Something so alone, you want somebod,
But you're still on your own

(Oh baby) Now that the feeling's gone
I believe that I've done no wrong
'Cuz I've tried hard to get you back baby
But you just wouldn't cut me no slack

Now that it's gone, now that we've walked away
Now that we've both started a brand new day
I'm lookin' back - I'm lookin' at your face
I'm lookin' and all I see is empty space

So here we are, now we're just worlds apart
But were we any closer at the start?
Something so alone, you want somebody,
But you're still on your own

Oh baby, now that the feeling's gone
I believe that I've done no wrong
'Cuz I've tried hard to get you back baby
But you just wouldn't cut me no slack

But I gotsta' have ya
Now that I know the cost baby
Something's gonna change my mind
But I don't have the luxury of time no more
Oh, no more time baby...

[Short Lead Break]

Now that the feeling's gone
I believe that I've done no wrong
'Cuz I've tried hard to get you back baby
But you just wouldn't cut me no slack

Now that the feeling's gone
I believe that I've done no wrong
'Cuz I've tried hard to get you back baby
But you just wouldn't cut me no slack

Oh no…
Just wouldn't cut me no slack now…
Now that the feeling's gone…
Oh no more time baby…
Yeah now that the feeling's gone…

"Nutbush City Limits"
(with Beth Hart)
(originally by Tina Turner)



I drive home straight now
A school outside house
On highway number 19
The people keep the city clean

They call it Nutbush
Oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limit
(Nutbush City Limit)

Driving far past the speed limit
Not a sacramental light in it
You go to store on Friday
You go to church on Sunday

They call it Nutbush
Oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limit
(Nutbush City Limit)

You go to feel on week days
And have a picnic on Labor Day
You go to town on Saturday
But go to church every Sunday

They call it Nutbush
Oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limit
(Nutbush City Limit)

No whiskey for sale
You kick up no meal
So go get molasses
And so you get in jail

They call it Nutbush
Oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limit
(Nutbush City Limit)

A little tow in Tennessee
That’s called…
A quiet little old community
A… a one horse town
You have to watch
What you’re putting down
In little old Nutbush

They call it Nutbush
Oh Nutbush
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit
They call it Nutbush City Limit (they call it, they call it…)
(Nutbush City Limit)
Oh, Nutbush

"Nuthin' I Wouldn't Do (For A Woman Like You)"


I got snakes around my ankles, bats all in my hair.
I fight tigers with a toothpick, just to prove to you I care.

In this crazy world we live in,
There's nuthin' that I wouldn't do for a woman like you.

Now age is not a barrier, it don't get our way.

All you need to do is trust me yeah,
Nuthin' that I wouldn't do for a woman like you.

[Lead Break]

My life is all a wonder, the truth is all around.
I just can't get over baby, all the happenings I've found.
I could never love another, though in love like this is nuthin' new.
Oh nuthin' new.

All you need to do is ask me baby,
There's nuthin' that I wouldn't do for a woman like you.
Nuthin' I wouldn't do…

"Oh Beautiful!"

"Oh Beautiful!"


Oh Beautiful
Oh beautiful,if you were mine
I would write you letters and pour you sweet wine
Oh beautiful why you so blue?
If you can only see the way I see you

Oh gravity weighing on my soul
Keeps bringing you round back to me
Like dirt to a stone
Oh gravity don't you ever go to sleep
Might wake up in the morning
and she'll be gone from your reach

Oh beautiful, if you were mine
I would write you letters and pour you sweet wine
Oh beautiful, why you so blue?
If you only can see the way I see you.....
