"Overtime"

"Overtime"


Overtime
That's what they all tell me
That's what they say to me
Overtime
Your blue eyes, your black eyelashes
The way you looked at life
In your funny way
I guess out of the blue
You won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you
Overtime

Your pale skin, your sexy crooked teeth
The trouble you'd get in
In your clumsy way
I guess one afternoon
You won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you
Overtime

I guess out of the blue
You won't cross my mind
And I'll get over you
Overtime

"Passionate Kisses"

"Passionate Kisses"


Is it too much to ask?
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff

Shouldn't I have this,
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Is it much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think

Shouldn't I have this,
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Do I want too much?
Am I going overboard to want that touch?
I shouted out to the night:
"Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right!"

Shouldn't I have this,
Shouldn't I have this?
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa ohh oh
Passionate kisses from you

"People Talkin'"

"People Talkin'"


People...trying to tear us apart
Trying to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin'

Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

I love you more than this cruel world will ever know
I wanna be your girl forever
I don't wanna let you go
If I could change things
I would die and return
Another name and
Knowin' everything I've learned
People talkin'
People talkin'

All of my life
I have tried to get along
All I ever hear now
Is gossip and waggin' tongues

I have suffered and I've cried myself to sleep
I have wandered down these highways and dirty streets
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

People tryin' to tear us apart
Tryin' to rip out my heart
People talkin'
People talkin

Livin' is full of misery and pain
Somebody called you a dirty name
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

People talkin
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'

People talkin'
People talkin'
Keep on walkin'
Keep on walkin'
People talkin'
People talkin'

"Pineola"

"Pineola"


When Daddy told me what happened
I couldn't believe what he just said
Sonny shot himself with a 44
And they found him lyin' on his bed

I could not speak a single word
No tears streamed down my face
I just sat there on the living room couch
Starin' off into space

Mama and Daddy went over to the house
To see what had to be done
They took the sheets off of the bed
And they went to call someone

Some of us gathered at a friend's house
To help each other ease the pain
I just sat alone in a corner chair
I couldn't say much of anything

We drove on out to the country
His friends all stood around
Subiaco Cemetery
Is where we lay him down

I saw his mama, she was standin' there
His sister, she was there too
I saw them look at us standin' around the grave
And not a soul they knew

Born and raised in Pineola
His mama believed in the Pentecost
She got the preacher to say some words
So his soul wouldn't be lost

Some of us, we stood in silence
Some bowed their heads and prayed
I think I must've picked up a handful of dust
And let it fall over his grave

I think I must've picked up a handful of dust
And let it fall over his grave

"Place In My Heart"

"Place In My Heart"


There's a place in my heart, I got room to spare
There's a place in my heart, I'll make room for you there
Even though you make me blue, I got room enough for you
No matter what you do I want you to know that
You have a place in my heart

You'll always have somewhere to call home
No matter the circumstances
Wherever you are, you're never alone
So don't laugh and say what are the chances

Will you be welcome and will I let you in
When the sky's raining and thundering
As sure as winter turns to spring
You're asking if in stead of wondering

There's a place in my heart, do I have room to spare
Yeah, there's a place in my heart, I'll make room for you there
Even though you make me blue, I got room enough for you
No matter what you do I, I want you to know that
You have a place in my heart

You, I know you take my love for granted
I'm pretty strong when I admit it
You might be surprised at what I can manage
So don't you ever forget

There's a place in my heart , I got room to spare
There's a place in my heart, I'll make room for you there
Even though you make me blue, I got room enough for you
No matter what you do I, I want you to know that
You have a place in my heart

"Plan To Marry"

"Plan To Marry"


When leaders can't be trusted
When heroes let us down
And innocence lies rusted
Frozen beneath the ground
And the destitute isolated we've all been forgotten
And the fruit trees we planted are withered and rotten
The abuse and magnificent suffer from infection
And the promises were given but never with intention
War becomes common place, secrets overheard
And violence, big business and love is just a word
Why do we marry?
Why do we fall in love?
Keep on believing in love
Because love, love is a mighty soar, love is a weapon, love is a lesson
And we, we are the conquerors
We are the soldiers
We are the lovers
That's why we fall in love
That's why we believe in love

"Price To Pay"

"Price To Pay"


It weighs a lot, it costs a lot
and it's worth a whole lot more
but it's not something you could afford anyway
cuz you weren't careful with my love
you lost the key to the door of my heart
now there's a price you have to pay

You can shop around and look around
but you'll never find
another one quite like this one anyplace
and believe me, it won't be easy
to repair it this time cuz it's my heart
and there's a price you have to pay

[CHORUS]
It's my heart and there's a price you have to pay
enough is enough
you played too rough with my heart
now there's a price you have to pay

[SOLO]

Well, it's broken and there's nothin'
that I can do now
I can fix it but it won't ever be the same
I can pick up all the pieces
and start over somehow but it's my heart
and there's a price you have to pay

[CHORUS then tag with:]
enough is enough
you played too rough with my heart
now there's a price you have to pay

"Protection"

"Protection"


Well I've seen some things in life as God is my witness
I've cried and cried and nobody could help
Now I'm traveling thru the world with dedication
What I do I did it all by my own sweet self

I need protection from the enemy of love
I need protection from the enemy of righteousness
I need protection from the enemy of good
I need protection from the enemy of kindness
Give me protection from the enemy of love

I came into the world all alone
Pushin' and strugglin' to find a home
I tell you what child go ahead and repeat it
It was my own trial made me stand on my own two feet

I need protection from the enemy of love
I need protection from the enemy of righteousness
I need protection from the enemy of good
I need protection from the enemy of kindness

Give me protection from the enemy of love
You know people be grinnin' and talkin' about me
Make me throw up my hands and call out cryin'
But the world's gonna spin with or without me
So I still get up and I keep on tryin'

Livin' in a world full of endless troubles
Livin' in a world where darkness doubles
But my burden is lifted when I stand up
And use the gift I was given for not givin' up

I need protection from the enemy of love
I need protection from the enemy of rock' n roll
I need protection from the enemy of good
I need protection from the enemy of soul
Give me protection from the enemy of love
I need protection from the enemy of good
I need protection
Give me protection
I need protection
Give me protection
Yeah I need protection
Give me protection
I need protection
Give me protection - Yeah

"Prove My Love"

"Prove My Love"


We all make mistakes sometimes
And I have made my share of mine
But if I have to, I'll walk the line
Just to prove my love

You know I'd give everything I've got
And I what I'd give would be a lot
I would smooth out all the rough spots
Just to prove my love

Let me prove my love for you
Let me do whatever I can do
Let me show my heart is true
Let me prove my love for you

There was a time way back when
The words we spoke were sweeter then
We can have those times again
Let me prove my love

Let me prove my love for you
Let me do whatever I can do
Let me show my heart is true
Let me prove my love for you
Let me prove my love for you

"Rambling On My Mind"

"Rambling On My Mind"


I got ramblin'
I got ramblin' on my mind
Little boy, little boy
I got ramblin' on my mind
I hate to leave you, baby
But you treat me so unkind

I got mean things
I got mean things on my mind
I got mean things
I got mean things on my mind
I hate to leave you, baby,
But you treat me so unkind

I'ma pack up my bags
I'ma leave with the morning train
I'ma pack up my bags
I'ma leave with the morning train
I hate to hear it, baby
When you call me so-and-so name

I'm goin' down to the station
Get the fastest metal train I see
I'm goin' down to the station
Get the fastest metal train I see
I got the blues for Mister So-And-So
He got the blues about me

Well there's one thing, baby
Makes me begin to dream
The way you treat me, baby
Oh... I begin to think
Ramblin' on my mind
I hate to leave you, baby
But you treat me so unkind

I got ramblin'
I got ramblin' on my mind
I got ramblin'
Ooh... I got ramblin' on my mind
I hate to leave you, baby
But you treat me so unkind
