"Brandy, You're A Fine Girl"

"Brandy, You're A Fine Girl"


(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

"California"

"California"



She lived at the end of a little dirt road
In a house where secrets go untold
Barefoot in a cotton dress
Dark hair in a tangled mess
And a head full of crazy dreams
She said

I'm goin' to California
A place where the sun always shines
I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

You can't help but feel a little bit touched
When your daddy loves you a little too much
You can wish on four leaf clovers
But all the fields have been plowed over
And there's nothin' left to do but fly away
She said

I'm goin' to California
A place where the sun always shines
I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

Stars burn like candles on that two-lane highway
She made her wish, and disappeared on her 18th birthday
And she said

I'm goin' to California
A place where the sun always shines
I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

I'm goin' to California
And I'm leavin' everything behind

Oh California
I'm goin' to California
Oh California
Leavin' it all behind
California

"Christmas In Blue Chair Bay"

"Christmas In Blue Chair Bay"



We got some mistletoe
Hung from the bow of the boat
Stockings are filled with sunshine rays
It's Christmas in Blue Chair Bay

There's lights up in every palm
My soul like the sea is calm
Tonight we're going to the boat parade
It's Christmas in Blue Chair Bay

Everybody raise a glass
With me right now
To all of those up in the snow
From all of us down South
Tis the season for believin'
In faith and family
Wish you were here with me

We cleared out a place in the sand
For Dancer and Prancer to land
We saved the boat slip for Santa's sleigh
It's Christmas in Blue Chair Bay

Everybody raise a glass
With me right now
To all of those up in the snow
From all of us down South
Tis the season for believin'
In faith and family
Wish you were here with me
By the sea, a little numb
From drinking rum

Oh I think I'll sit right here
Pray for a peaceful year
Lots of love Happy Holidays to you
From Blue Chair Bay
Merry Christmas from Blue Chair Bay

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Lots of love Happy Holidays to you
From Blue Chair Bay
Merry Christmas from Blue Chair Bay

"Coastal"

"Coastal"



Tank top, love handles
Tube socks, Jesus sandals
Cheap blender, ice bucket
Raw oysters, yeah, give me one and shuck it

Holds up a frozen orange daiquiri
And laughs, here's to the boys at the factory

No more building transmissions
He's going deep sea fishing
Catch a marlin, catch a tan
Catch a local cover band

Hey, you gotta watch that man
He'll go coastal on ya

Silver hair, silver Buick
Winter's coming, better move it
Southbound before they get snowed under
Call the kids, tell 'em see you next summer

No more freezing their tails off
It's cataract sunglasses and a round of golf
Red skin, green plaid, margarita, dog track
Before you know it Mom and Dad
They'll go coastal on ya

Sounds so good, got me thinking
What do y'all say after I'm done singing

We just take a little getaway
Cruise it down the A1A
Florabama to the Keys
Better keep your eye on me

I'll go coastal on ya
I'll go coastal on ya
Yeah, I'll go coastal on ya

"Coconut Tree"
(with Willie Nelson)

"Coconut Tree"
(with Willie Nelson)



Everybody's got a place they go
When the old battery gets running low.
I'm a sucker for the sand and sea, yea
If I had my way, hey I'd always be

Way up high in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree

Not to green, not too brown,
I shimmy up and I shake the good ones down.
Coconuts, a couple of bucks a piece
And you can do alright if you ain't afraid to be

High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

Yeah, there's less stress and the world's alright
It's a different point of view
When you're looking at life

Way up high in a coconut tree
(Layin' low) low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High up in a coconut

High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

High in a coconut tree
Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

Layin' low, just my baby and me
Sunny sky as far as I can see
High in a coconut tree

Sunny sky as far as I can see
High up in a coconut tree
Up here with Willie
Sunny sky as far as I can see
Let's get high in a coconut tree

"Come Over"

"Come Over"



I turn the TV off, to turn it on again
Staring at the blades of the fan as it spins around
Counting every crack, the clock is wide awake
Talking to myself, anything to make a sound

I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care
But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

You can say we’re done the way you always do
It’s easier to lie to me than to yourself
Forget about your friends, you know they’re gonna say
We’re bad for each other, but we ain’t good for anyone else

I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care
But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

We don’t have to miss each other, come over
We don’t have to fix each other, come over
We don’t have to say forever, come over
You don’t have to stay forever, come over

I told you I wouldn’t call, I told you I wouldn’t care
But baby climbing the walls gets me nowhere
I don’t think that I can take this bed getting any colder
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over

Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over.
Come over, come over, come over, come over, come over.

"Dancin' For The Groceries"

"Dancin' For The Groceries"



She's thinking about what her kids are doing
Five miles away, it's almost time for bed
They're brushing teeth and hearing one more story
And in the mirror she paints her lips bright red
She wishes she could call and say she loves them
But the bossman says no calls go out or in
So she puts on a dress that might feel pretty
If she didn't have to take it off again

She's dancing for the Groceries
She's dancing for the rent
She's dancing for the credit cards
That she's already spent
In sequins and in laces
She's dancing for the braces
So her kids can a perfect smile someday
Smiling While she dances
Is the price she has to pay

They tell her in this job there is no future
So get it while you can Cause looks don't last
There money in those pockets for the take in
If u do it right it makes the time go fast
The music loud the drinks are mostly water
What her name is tonight she cant recall
The business men stair at the single mother
Whose smiling while she's staring at the wall

She's dancing for the Groceries
She's dancing for the rent
She's dancing for the credit cards
That she's already spent
In sequins and in laces
She's dancing for the braces
So her kids can a perfect smile someday
Smiling While she dances
Is the price she has to pay

Someday she'll have a house out in the country
Someday she'll see the other side of dawn
And no one will ever know
But it what's she did before
She just heard the DJ say your on
The lights come up
And they play her song

"Demons"

"Demons"


Sometimes they're in a bottle,
Sometimes a pair of high-heel shoes,
Some come rolled in paper
Some have six strings and only play the blues
Once you've met the devil
There ain't no way he'll let you be
When I'm not chasing demons,
There's demons chasing me

Skeletons in closets
Ghosts underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And words better left unsaid
They hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When I'm not chasing demons,
There's demons chasing me

There's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me

So roll one up and light it
Pick up my old guitar
I'm playing crossroads
Drinking whiskey from a mason jar
Heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me

There's things that I can't leave alone
'Cause they won't leave me alone
What I want ain't what I need
Still I reach for the things I crave
Then try to run away
Am I afraid of being free
'Cause when I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me

When I'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me

Demons chasing me [repeats]

"Don't Blink"

"Don't Blink"


I turned on the evening news
Saw a old man being interviewed
Turning a hundred and two today
Asked him what's the secret to life
He looked up from his old pipe
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

[Chorus:]
Don't blink
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half
Of fifty years is there in bed
And you're praying God takes you instead
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
So don't blink

I was glued to my TV and it looked like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth

[Chorus]

I've been tryna slow it down
I've been tryna take it in
In this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' in

[Chorus]

Now, don't blink

"Don't Happen Twice"

"Don't Happen Twice"



I haven't seen you in forever
Oh you haven't changed a bit
You didn't think that I would remember
How could I forget

We sang Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear September sky
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
3 am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's something that just don't happen twice

To this day I still taste that first kiss
How I prayed it wouldn't end
In a way, seeing you like this
I guess it never really did

We sang Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear september sky
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
3 am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
That's something that just don't happen twice

One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
3 am I fell in love
For the first time in my life
Oh that's something, baby that's something
Oh that's something
That just don't happen twice

Oh yeah

We sang Bobby McGhee on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
One bottle of wine and two Dixie cups
Yeah we fell in love
