"What She Left Behind"

"What She Left Behind"

She took the TV and the toaster
She took the curtains and the car
I guess she took for granted
I wouldn't take it very hard
And for someone in a hurry
She took her own sweet time
But it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

A bedroom full of memories that time cannot erase
Photographs of the two of us that she said "throw away"
She took my heart and soul and left me here to lose my mind
No, it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

She said I've given you my best but I can't take no more
She said I've run out of reasons then she walked out the door
It's gonna take a lot of doin' to get over her goodbye
'Cuz it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

A bedroom full of memories that time cannot erase
Photographs of the two of us that she said "throw away"
She took my heart and soul and left me here to lose my mind
No, it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

"What You're Lookin' For"

"What You're Lookin' For"

Baby, go on and do what you gotta do
I’ll never be the man that you want me too
Just keep me somewhere in your young, wild memory
And whenever you finally get to
Wherever your heart leads

I hope you find someone to love
And every dream that you dream of
I’m not the one you need and you know it
You’re gonna leave, so baby, get going
I won’t try to stop you anymore
Yea somewhere on the other side of that front door
I hope you find what you’re looking for

This has been coming down for a long, long time
I ain’t gonna change and i can’t change your mind
Just look back on me like a sun-soaked yesterday
And wherever your life leads you
Somewhere along the way

I hope you find someone to love
And every dream that you dream of
I’m not the one you need and you know it
You’re gonna leave, so baby, get going
I won’t try to stop you anymore
Yea somewhere on the other side of that front door
I hope you find what you’re looking for

I don’t wanna slow you down
Don’t wanna hold you down
You’re better off without me
I just wanna see you smile
Girl i miss your smile
Wanna see you happy

I hope you find someone to love
And every dream that you dream of
I’m not the one you need and you know it
You’re gonna leave, so baby, get going
I won’t try to stop you anymore
Yea somewhere on the other side of that front door
I hope you find what you’re looking for

Baby, go on and do what you gotta do
I’ll never be the man that you want me too

"When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)"

"When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)"

With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can
To write all the reasons I can't stay
And I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man
'Cause a man would never leave her this way

A note of things I should've said
Lays beside her sleeping head
As I turn and make my way off in the night
By the time the morning's breaking
My heart will still be aching
Every time I think of what I've left behind

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

It hurts to know how much she'll hurt I've told myself things could be worse
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way
By the time she finds I'm gone
I'll be a long, long way from home
When she reads a note of things I couldn't say

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

Lord I don't want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

"When The Stars Go Blue"

"When The Stars Go Blue"

Dancin' when the stars go blue
Dancin' when the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' with the marionette
Are you happy now?

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue

Laughin' with your pretty mouth
Laughin' with your broken eyes
Laughin' with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue
stars go blue

"Where The Green Grass Grows"

"Where The Green Grass Grows"

Six lanes
Taillights
Red ants marchin' into the night
They disappear to the left and right again
Another supper from a sack
A ninety-nine cent heart attack
I got a poundin' head and an achin' back
And the camel's buried in a big straw stack

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows

Well I'm from a map dot
A stop sign on a black top
I caught the first bus I could hop from there
But all this glitter is gettin' dark
There's concrete growin' in the city park
I don't know who my neighbors are
And there's bars on the corners and bars on my heart

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows
Watchin' my corn pop up in rows
Every night be tucked in close to you
Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed
Point our rocking chairs towards the west
Plant our dreams where the peaceful river flows
Where the green grass grows

"Whiskey And You"

"Whiskey And You"

There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring
And it's empty so right now I don't feel a thing
I'll be hurtin' when I wake up on the floor
And I'll be over it by noon
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

Come tomorrow I can walk in any store
It ain't a problem yeah they'll always sell me more
But you're forgiveness is something I can't buy
Ain't a thing that I can do
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

[Chorus]
One's the devil and one keeps driving me insane
At times I wonder if they ain't both the same
One's a liar that helps hide me from my pain
And one's a long hard bitter truth
And that's the difference between the whiskey and you

I've got a problem but it ain't like what you think
I drink 'cause I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink
If I don't break down and bring it on myself it'll hit right out of the blue
That's the difference between the whiskey and you

[Chorus]

Yeah that's the difference between the whiskey and you

"Who Are They?"

"Who Are They?"

They say not to have too much fun
They say not to get too much sun
Democrat, Republican
I guess I'm screwed, I'm neither one
Don't say 'hell', say 'what the heck'
Do what's politically correct
Don't pray in school, but have safe sex
Isn't that what they expect?

Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
They're probably living in LA
And I don't care anyway
Who are they?

They probably own the Village Voice
The Nashville Scene, The People's Choice
To me it's all a bunch of noise
Decided on by funny boys
They say who does and don't belong
They say our hair's too short or long
They say who's right and who is wrong
As if we'll all just come along

Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
They're probably living in LA
And I don't care anyway
Who are they?

Well I wonder if they've got a life
A broken car and two ex-wives
Do they drink beer on Friday night
I wonder if they like to fight
And I wonder if they've got a soul
Or if they like their rock-and-roll
Where do they live, I've got to know
So I can tell them off
Or where to go

Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
They're probably living in LA
And I don't care anyway
Who are they?

"Why We Said Goodbye"

"Why We Said Goodbye"

I remember sunday mornings walking on the beach
And that place we'd stop for breakfast with the old red vinyl seats
The hours of the tide chart
The way the sunlight dance upon your face

That antique roller coaster you just had to ride
I remember how you laughed at the terror in my eyes
The color and the detail
Just like it was yesterday

And i remember how you held me the night my father died
I didn't have to tell you
I just broke down and cried
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And i just can't remember why we said goodbye

Up and down this boardwalk lonely people sit
I know it wasn't perfect but nothin' ever is
The sails out in the harbor
Are searching for the wind

I just had to call you, i had to hear your voice
And tell you i still love you we still have a choice
You're sewn into the fabric, the pieces of my life
And i just can't remember why we said goodbye

Everything i do
Leads back to you
I know i just can't let us go

There must have been a reason, but i can't remember now
I know if i could hold you we could work it out
You're sewn into the fabric the pieces of my life
And girl let's give it one more try
Cause i just can't remember why we said goodbye

"Words Are Medicine"

"Words Are Medicine"

For the light sleeper, the street sweeper,
Promise breaker, promise keeper,
The astronaut, the acrobat,
The underdog who is coming back.
Maybe you’re Hooked On Phonics or Mary Jane;
Coca Cola or cocaine.
We’re just a different kind of the same, yeah.
Sticks and stones can break you.

But words are medicine, words are medicine.
When I’m black and blue, I’m broken and bruised,
I hear your voice again.
Words are medicine.

The beautician, the mortician,
The blinded sided, the night vision,
The baptized, the chicken fried,
The rolled tide, the unforgiven.

For the girl who is lost in romance novels,
The guy who sees through whiskey goggles
We’re just a different kind of the same, yeah.
Sticks and stones can break you.

But words are medicine, words are medicine.
When you’re black and blue, you’re broken and bruised,
Just hear my voice again:
Words are medicine.

I do. I will.
I believe in you still.
I have a dream.
Imagine.
A shiny city on a hill.
I’m sorry. Forgive me.
I love you.
I love you.

Words are medicine. Words are medicine.
When you’re black and blue, you’re broken and bruised,
Just hear my voice again:
Words are medicine. Words are medicine.
When we’re black and blue, we’re broken and bruised,
I hear your song , my friend.
Words are medicine. Words are medicine.
Words are medicine. Words are medicine.

"Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way"

"Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way"

Without me
Maybe you'd find somebody else
A little wiser
With a lot more wealth
And without you
It's true I'd be free
To go chasing all my dreams
Without any strings

But I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way

Hard times
May never let up on us
And maybe all we'll ever have
Will barely be enough
And babe you know
How cold the wind can blow
Love's never let us down
When we needed it the most

And I wouldn't want it any other way
Having you to come home to at the end of every day
Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way

Your tender touch puts a smile back on my face
Wouldn't want it any other way
Wouldn't want it any other way Any other way

Oh girl
You know I love you more each day
Any other way
