"House On The Lake"

"House On The Lake"


Well, I miss the sounds of Tennessee
And the smell of heavy rain
The roses in the garden
Laugh before the pain
But I hear his voice close in my ear
I see her smile and wave
I blink and while my eyes are closed
They both have gone away

Blue bare room, the wood and nails
There's nothing left to take
But love and years are not for sale
In our old house on the lake

Well, I'm goin' down to New Orleans
'Cause we both are sinkin' fast
And I'll stare into the Bourbon moon
We'll see how long we last

But I hear his voice
I follow down the velvet undertow
Back to the place where I was born
Back to my southern home

Blue bare room, the wood and nails
There's nothing left to take
But love and years are not for sale
In our old house on the lake
In our old house on the lake
In our old house

"I Can't Resist"

"I Can't Resist"


I'm on your new wave length
I know what you must think
I've never felt like this
I can't resist, knowing love like this
I can't resist

In from the outside at last
I've lived alone in your past
I've known no love like this
I can't resist, knowing love like this
I can't resist (I love the way you cast your spell)
I can't resist (No other ever looked so good)
I can't resist (The tender way you show your charm)
I can't resist

This heart no longer my own
Without no neutral zone
Within your sweet caress
I can't resist, knowing love like this
I can't resist, knowing love like this
I can't resist

"I Count The Tears"

"I Count The Tears"


Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
I sit and count the tears

I have counted every day since you've been away
It seems like a thousand years

And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
I sit and count the tears

And I have counted all your lies, all your alibis
Now, I'm a girl, believes just what she hears

And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
I sit and count the tears

He's gone and found somebody new
She may be happy now but soon
She'll be counting every day that he's been away
And it will seem like a thousand years

And at na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
She'll sit and count the tears

She'll sit and count the tears
She'll sit and count the tears

Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night
Na, na, na, na, na, na, late at night

"I Don't Have To Crawl"

"I Don't Have To Crawl"


You look at me
As if you don't know me
You talk to me
Like you've never met me

Well, I could leave you alone if I tried
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
If I wanted to I could be long gone

I don't have to play nobody's fool
And I won't make no exception of you
I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away

You call on me
As if I should run to you
You make a move as if I should follow you
Well I don't have to get down on my knees
I will not be a peasant to please you

I don't have to crawl
I can just walk away
I don't have to crawl
I don't have to crawl

"I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me"

"I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me"


It's the right time, you know I feel fine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
It's the right place, I've got my new face tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I'm in the right mood, I've got my new shoes tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I've got my new dress, I couldn't hurt less tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)

Somebody told you I was so cold and mean (who was that talking)
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between (she better start walking)
Somebody hurt you but, baby, she wasn't me

We'll find a new name for such an old game tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I'll show you how long that I can go on tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me

Just when I think that I can make it without you
You come 'round and say you want me now
You tell me don't leave and I want to believe you
Why can't you see just how much I need you

Somebody told you I was so cold and mean (who was that talking)
Somebody wants you and don't want me in between (she better start walking)
Somebody hurt you but, baby, she wasn't me

Oh, it's the last chance for a romance tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
There'll be no next time if you won't be mine tonight (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me (I don't know why you don't want me)
I don't know why you don't want me (I don't know why you don't want me)

"I Look For Love"

"I Look For Love"


Why did she wear that dress tonight?
Why did she bring that stranger
She looks put out in party lights
Which leaves us all in danger
When she drops her perfumed hanky

I look for love [repeat 4 times]

I hate the way they carry on
These fashion consultations
Do all the wires we sing along
Require such insulation
Fused with fear or charged with anger

I look for love [repeat 4 times]

No innocence I can claim
No treasure of stolen hearts
In the mirror I look the same
A toy soldiers with missing parts

She's adding up those second looks
While he collects advances
Like thumbing through those dirty books
They estimate their chances
When the parking lot is empty

I look for love [repeat 4 times]

"I Want A Cure"

"I Want A Cure"


Distance makes the heart start wondering
Absence makes the anger grow
The world may just be spinning through us
And seperation lets it show

I walk away the fear and anger
I'm talking through the tears each day
I push myself to points of danger
But nothing makes it go away

[Chorus]
I want a cure
A mental, geographical cure
A physical, chemical cure
Sugar or shopping
Drinking or dropping
The emotional highs
Of my life in disguise
There's one thing for sure
I want a cure

Love seems like a fancy theory
Fame a substitute for friends
Those who love can't get near me
Those who don't are moving in

A heart is like a broken window
Pain depends on point of view
The world may just be slowly stopping
And no one knows but me and you

[Chorus]

Where no one can see me
No one knows how I'm feeling

[Chorus]

"I Was Watching You"

"I Was Watching You"


Headlights on a Texas road
Hank Williams on the radio
Church wedding, they spent all they had
Now the deal is done to become Mom and Dad

And I was watching you from above
Cause long before life, there was love

See those little girls dressed like china dolls
All for one, then one by one they fall
High on a hill while the world passes by
You never came back, but I know you tried

'Cause I was watching you from above
When it all falls apart, there is love

All those years to prove how much I care
I didn't know it, but you were always there
Till September when you slipped away
In the middle of my life on the longest day

Now I hear you say
I'll be watching you from above
Cause long after life, there is love
Baby I'll be watching you from above
Long after life, there is love.

"I Wonder"

"I Wonder"


Every time I'm near you
My heart jumps all about
My mind can't figure out what to do
But I've been disillusioned
Enough by love turned blue
Your love may be true, but I wonder

Am I supposed to think
That your love will be true
And deny the part of me
That says you'd leave me too

'Cause yesterday reminds me
That what I've lost is gone
Your love may linger on, but I wonder

Am I supposed to think
That your love will be true
And deny the part of me
That says you'd leave me too

'Cause yesterday reminds me
That what I've lost is gone
Your love may linger on, but I wonder
Ooh, I wonder
Yeah, I wonder

Ooh, I wonder
Ooh

"I'll Change For You"
(feat. Steve Earle)

"I'll Change For You"
(feat. Steve Earle)



I'll change for you.
I'll change for you.
I'll change for you.
I'll turn night into day.

An' I'll change for you. (I don't care what the books say.)
I'll change for you. (I don't care what my friends say.)
I'll change for you,
An' I won't make you pay.

'Cause everything reminds me of you.
A baby's feet, an old man's smile.
Silent scream and lover's cry,
Till I can't do nothing,

But change for you. (An' all the rules that were lies.)
I'll change for you. (I sit an' watch while they burn.)
I'll change for you.
I'll be all that you need.

'Cause everything reminds me of you.
A baby's feet, an old man's smile.
Silent scream and lover's cry,
Till I can't do nothing.
But change for you.

[Instrumental]

I'll lie by your side an' whisper your name.
I'll clock all your dreams and knock over rails.
I'll let go my past, write your name in my skin.
I'll travel through time to love you again.

An' I'll change for you. (I'll just wait for you wherever.)
I'll change for you. (An' watch you lean back too much.)
I'll change for you.
I'll turn night into day.

I'll change for you. (An' I'll give it my best.)
I'll change for you. (An' I won't stop till you rest.)
I'll change for you.
An' I won't make you pay.
