"I'll Admit You're Gone"

"I'll Admit You're Gone"

I'll admit you're gone - when I think I'm able,
Just like in that song, you turned all the tables,
Now I know I'm wrong, life is hard to shoulder,
I won't last too long, each day is getting colder.
Falling constantly, shadows haunting me,
Moving silently, day by day,
Watching hopefully, waiting anxiously,
That you might hear me, someday.
That's what I pray,
That's all I pray,
I'm gonna be ok, it's gonna be okay.

Looking ahead, there's nothing but blue days,
But somehow I keep hanging on.
I should spend time looking for new ways,
'Cos blue days have taken quite a toll.

The journey we were on - can't believe it's over,
I can feel the storm, but I can't run for cover.
Where do I belong I just keep on searchin'?
I want to see the dawn of the day when stop hurting.

Falling constantly, shadows haunting me,
Moving silently, day by day.
Watching hopefully, anxiously,
That you might hear me, someday.
That's what I pray,
That's all I pray,
It's gonna be ok, I'm gonna be okay.

"I'm Not Awake Yet"

"I'm Not Awake Yet"

I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time.
For today's the day that you are coming back.
And I can't wait to see you materialize.

How much can I take now before I break inside?
How long will it take now before I realize,
That I can't live without you by my side,
And nothing else will keep me satisfied?

I've looked at my heart now and I trusted my eyes.
I made that mistake now ain't gonna make it twice.
But time can put the man on the other side.
And I can't wait to see what's left behind.

I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
I haven't been late yet.
Gonna be on time, gonna be on time,
gonna be on, gonna be on time.
But today's the day that you are coming back,
And I can't wait to see you materialize.

"I'm Not Surprised"

"I'm Not Surprised"

I'm not surprised, you didn't take the time to write me.
I'm not surprised, you didn't take the time to call.

But baby, you know it really shook me.
When baby, I heard you're not coming back at all.

I'm not surprised, you didn't stop to think about me.
I'm not surprised, you let me vanish from your brain.

But baby, you know it over took me.
When my friend said, you're gonna leave me here behind.

Whoa..hoa...

Why must it be? Why must it be?
Why must it be? Why must it be?

I'm not surprised, you started out without me.
I'm not surprised, you even stopped to care.

But baby, if you must desert me.
When you go, don't talk about me when I'm not there.

"If I Had A Reason"

"If I Had A Reason"

If I had a reason I'd tell you what it is,
Must I explain how I feel.
I've tried and I've tried to make it so clear,
But my time is just wasted I fear.
Well it's only an old song but it serves it's purpose so well,
By the cry in your voice I can tell.
When you sing there's a feeling behind the words,
That brings it all back again.
I'm reaching, I'm reaching, while you slip away,
I'm searching for words I can say.
I'm listening, I'm listening, tryin' not to hear,
You say that we might meet some day.
There's a picture that's faded and curling from it's frame,
Of a face that smiles patiently.
It might smile forever to make me feel better,
But I just might wait to see.
Oh I'm reaching, I'm reaching while you slip away,
I'm searching for words I can't say.
I'm listening, I'm listening tryin' not to hear,
You say that we might meet some day.
There's answers to questions that we both wanna know,
But those answers keep evading me.
There's rhymes and there's reasons, there's rights and there's wrongs.
For being what you are to me.
If I had a a reason I'd tell you what it is,
Would you do the same thing for me?
"Cause the minute you go there's one thing I know,
That the day will mean nothing for me.

"In Your Town"

"In Your Town"

Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, your man is back in town
Look out baby, I won't stand no messin' 'round
The first man I wanna see is the Chief Police,
Bring that man right over here
I wanna speak [?] my peace
I wanna 'cause no trouble, no fuzz, no fight,
But you look out man, you know this is Saturday night
The second man I wanna see is the old fire chief,
Bring that man right over here
Stand him right in front of me
I wanna cause no trouble, no fuzz, no fight
See this match, I might set this place alight
So look out...
The third man I wanna see is the old D.A.,
He was the man who sent me away
Twenty two years, twenty three days, twenty four minutes
I was locked away
You come along baby, ask me where I've been,
Up-the-river-holiday [?], up in Sing Sing
One cold floor, four bare walls,
That's all they gave me, nothing else at all
Sing Sing, Sing Sing, Sing Sing,
When I came out I could not feel a thing...
Now I'm back in your town,
In your town, in your town, in your town...

"It Takes Time"

"It Takes Time"

Well, my babe I had you on my mind,
Well, by little I watched my love slow down.
Yeah, yeah,
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing pretty baby,
Tomorrow you could be cryin'.
Well you live for the day you're gonna know,
You got Little Charlie,
Now come on and try to make it home.
Whoa-ohh.
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing woman,
Tomorrow you could be cryin'.
Yeah.
Well they tell me every dog has his day,
Tell me why all the good dogs can't ever run away.
Yeah, yeah,
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing pretty baby,
Tomorrow you could be cryin'.
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what it means to be alone?
Today you're laughing pretty baby,
Tomorrow you could be cryin'.

"It's You"

"It's You"

When the days begin to climb on me
And I begin to feel that I can't please
There's only one thing I can do
Call on the one who pulls me through
That is you, yeah you
When I'm lost in some old lonely town
And there ain't no sound of you around
A voice comes whispering through my ear
And I can almost feel you here
So near, so near
When the nights begin to drag me down
And there ain't nobody else around
There's only one place I must be
Close to you, you close to me
To me, to me
When the days begin to climb on me
And I begin to feel that I can't please
There's only one thing I can do
Call on the one who pulls me through
That is you, yeah you
Call on the one who pulls me through
That is you, yeah you

"Jackknife Beat"

"Jackknife Beat"

Shake it baby, before it shakes you
Get it baby and let it take you
Where you want it to
Don't you maybe
That just won't do
You say I'm crazy
But this music's got me feelin' good
I know it's fever
I don't need a cure
You're the doctor
I'm your patient that's for sure
I'm your patient that's for sure
Hear it baby
Sneaking on through
You'll know it baby
When that music gets inside your shoes
It's too late baby, what do you do
Hear it baby
Hear it baby
Sneaking on through
You'll know it baby
When that music gets inside your shoes
You know it's creeping up on you
[Scat]
We got that Jackknife beat
A killer of a back beat
Sounds like an ice truck
Rolling down a back street
Yeah, we got the whole thing going like a pneumatic drill
The guitar man's playing like he's fit to kill, oh yeah
We got that Jackknife beat
A killer of a back beat
Siphon off the syrup
Let it take a back seat
What's cooking in the kitchen has boiled to the brim
What's brewing in the basement
Is bound to over spill, oh yeah
Shake it baby, before it shakes you
Get it baby and let it take you
Where you want it to
Don't you maybe
That just won't do
You say I'm crazy
But this music's got me feelin' good
Got a fever
I don't need a cure
You're the doctor
I'm your patient that's for sure
I'm your patient that's for sure

"Jinxed"

"Jinxed"

My heart's in trouble, my soul's on fire,
My mind is aching for my one desire.
This heavy weather, will it never seem to end,
I start to wonder will my poor heart ever mend.

I don't know what I am supposed to think,
This must be some kind of jinx.

My line's been tapped, my mail's been screened,
I could be wrong but that's the way I feel,
Everything I try just crumbles before I start,
Feel like a lost child, searching in the dark.

Will I swim or will I sink,
This must be some kind of jinx.

You've got your heart locked up,
And you've thrown away the key,
Feel like I'm sinking down,
Into the endless sea.

My heart's uneasy, my soul's on fire,
You're the ice--please put out this fire.
This crazy weather, will it never seem to end.
It's getting harder with all the bad news that you send.

I don't know what I am supposed to think,
This must be some kind of jinx.
I don't care what anybody thinks,
'Cos this must be some kind of jinx.
Will I swimor will I sink,
This must be some kind of jinx.

She marks all the decks, she won't give me credit,

Won't you listen to what I say, you can't keep this man at bay.

Of every lonely outlaw, and every wanted man.
Well, let me tell you brother, she's good for bail,
She'll bring you back from hurtin', when it tips the scales.
