"I'm A Good Man"

"I'm A Good Man"


I don't mean to brag
But I know I'm a good man
At least I try and understand
When things don't go just like we planned
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll make you happy
If it's the last thing I do and
Oh Darling-Darling
I'm a good man... lovin' you

I don't mean to shout
But I know I'm a good man
I'll always be right there baby
With two strong helping hands
I'll go anywhere to help you through
I'll give you these arms
If you should have the blues

Oh Darling-Darling
I'm a good man... lovin' you
I'm a good man, baby

I'll come and see you in the darkest hours
Any old time of the day
If you need me baby just call me
And you know I'll be on my way

I don't mean to laugh
But I know I'm a good man
I'll learn you things you need
I'll give you everything that I can
I'll spend any time I need to prove that
My life's ambition
Is to take care of you
Oh, Darling-Darling
I'm a good man... lovin' you
I'm a good man, baby
I'm a good man... lovin' you
I'm a good man, baby

"I'm Afraid"

"I'm Afraid"


Where's the sun when you want it?
Never been a fan of clouds
You said you'd decide
When the time was right

So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go

Can't see the stars the way I used to
Big city lights surrounding me
I got a whole lot of pride, yeah
But I've been known to lie

So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go

Whoaaaaaaaohhhh
The lessons learned

So many ways, so many ways
This world can turn

The sky's the limit
I've got nothing to hide
No matter which way the wind is blowing
You can't stop this fire burning inside, no

Kinda cool around here this evening
Kinda like the look you're giving me
But then again you smile, yeah, yeah
Just like a child, baby

I stayed and I waited, huh
I'm afraid, but I waited
I stayed and I waited
Oh Lord, and I prayed, and I waited
I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go

"I'm Done Cryin'"

"I'm Done Cryin'"


I begged for mercy
Called out in pain
No one seemed to hear me
It's like I don't have a name

I'm done crying
I've got no more tears
You can't hurt me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

I used to have a job
But they shut it down
Put the blame on the union (like they always do)
And now it's some fore in town
I am done crying
I've got no more tears
You can't use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
But you won't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

They took the house
When I lost my job
Left us out in the street (yes they did)
What you picked us the wrong
I am done crying
I've got no more tears
I can't give you anymore money
At least now I know where I stand
You can't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

I am a man
And it's always so much a man can give up
So it's so much, so much a man can lose
When all the odds all the odds stand up against you

I am done crying
I have got no more tears
You can't use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

I am done crying
I have got no more tears
You can't hurt me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
Cause I'm still a man
I'm still a man
Still a man
You know I don't have a chance
Still a man
Still a man

"I'm Gonna Forget About You"

"I'm Gonna Forget About You"


I'm gonna forget about you
I'm gonna forget about you
Cause in my lonely time
I'm gonna loose my mind
I'm gonna forget about you
I'm gonna forget about you
I'm gonna forget about you
In my lonely time
I'm gonna loose my mind
I'm gonna forget about you

Now I ask you for respect
And you didn't give me that
I'm gonna give you a coach
And that thing that you don't have happening

I'm gonna forget about you
I'm gonna forget about you
Cause in my lonely time
I'm gonna loose my mind
I'm gonna forget about you

Now if you got a good women
Don't you let her have her way
'cause a real good women
You just can't find every day
You better hold on
You better hold on
'Cause if you don't want that vibe
Summer will be your time
You better hold on

"I'm Just Lucky That Way"

"I'm Just Lucky That Way"


Well I cussed out my boss
Huh, and got fired
Then I hit the lottery
And now I'm retired

The odds of that happening
Slim to none
But I wasn't surprised when I won

It happens everyday
I'm just lucky that way

I'm not bragging
Don't take it like that
But good things just seem to fall in my lap

My good fortune
I can not help

I'm just lucky
In spite of myself

It happens everyday
I'm just lucky that way

Friends and relations
Knockin' on my door
Not to mentions folks
I've never seen before

Got my phone number changed
Had it taken
Out of the book
Still my phone keeps ringin'
Off the hook

My luck's so good
It's a crying shame
I have to move up the country
I have to change my name

It happens everyday
I win when I play

I'm just lucky that way

Yeah

You know I win when I play
I'm just lucky
That way

"I'm Walkin'"

"I'm Walkin'"


Ten long years,
Seem like thirty-five
Cause everything you said
Turned out to be a lie
I was sweet to you,
I didn't even have to try
Now I look into your eyes
All I see is the other guy

All that talkin',
You ain't got nothin' to say
Well I can tell you
It's time that had to pay
You're gonna pay
You're gonna be sorry some day
That'll while I'm walkin'
Tired of you talkin' down to me
Baby I'm walkin'
Walkin' away from you and me
I wanna be free
I wanna be free from you and me

We were good together
That was long ago
Before you left the high road
Took off down the below
You knew what you were doin'
I didn't even have to see
You can fool me twice girl,
I think it's shame on me

Day by day
Sun goes down in flames
All that you can say
Is I'm the one to blame
It's all the same
Just play your little girl game
That'll while I'm walkin'
Tired of you talkin' down to me
Baby I'm walkin'
Walkin' away from you and me
I wanna be free
I wanna be free from you and me

That'll while I'm walkin'
Tired of you talkin' down to me
Baby I'm walkin'
Yeh, Finnaly found the key
You know I'm walkin'
Strollin' out the door
It's all gone-babe
And I won't be back no more
I gotta be free
I gotta be free from you and me

"I've Slipped Her Mind"

"I've Slipped Her Mind"


I lit two brand-new candles
Set two glasses out for wine

Two hours ago
She was due here anytime
I'm starting to believe
I've slipped her mind

Friday night she's coming
Got the date circled in red

I've planned this night all day
High hopes, high hopes
Running through my head

Had big plans for love and romance
Ohhh, and I got the blues instead

Both candles just burned out
I sip the wine till it's gone
Called her place all evening
But the phone rings on and on

Two hours ago
She was due here any time

And I'm starting to believe, yeah
Ohhh, I've slipped her mind

Both candles just burned out
Drank the wine till it's gone
Called her place all evening
The phone rings on and on

Two hours ago
She was due here any time

And I believe, I believe, I believe
I've slipped her mind

I believe, I believe
Ohhhh, that I've slipped her mind

Ohhh, no, no
Don't tell me that this is it
I've planned this night all day, baby

How can you be so cold to Young Bob?

No, no, no, no
No, two hours ago
And it's been five
No, no
I can't take this anymore
I'm just about to give up on the whole damn thing
No, no

"If You're Thinkin' What I'm Thinkin'"

"If You're Thinkin' What I'm Thinkin'"


If you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
Let's not waste any time
It's been real lonely here lately
It's either your place or mine

If you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
Ohhh, you might just save my life
It will put me through all the procedures
And now I don't even have a wife

Kind of sweet, really cute
But it really doesn't matter
I've got so much love stored up in me
I believe I'm gonna shatter

If you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
Ohhh, you might just save my life
It will put me through all the procedures
And now I don't even have a wife

No I really never thought
That a man can get this way
But all this feeling got to leave me
Just as sure as my name is Cray

Oh yeah, if you're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'
Ohhh, you might just save my life
It will put me through all the procedures
And now I don't even have a wife
