Are You Ever Coming Home

Once again it's twelve o'clock and you're still gone
Honey are you ever coming home
I don't mind this waiting for you while you're gone
But honey, are you ever coming home
The wind outside is cold as my poor heart inside
Honey, are you ever coming home
I love you much too much to worry 'bout my pride
But honey, are you ever coming home
Just before I tuck them in
The children question me
"Why did daddy (mommy) leave us all alone?
And I've run out of answers
You've been gone so long
Honey, are you ever coming home

Are You Sure

Oh, look around you
Look down the bar from you
The lonely faces that you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

These are your friends
But are they real friends
Do they love you the same as me
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

You seem in such a hurry to live this kind of life
You've caused so many tears and misery


Look around you, take a good look
And tell me what you see
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

Don't let my tears persuade you, I had hoped I wouldn't cry
But lately, teardrops seem a part of me

Oh, look around you, take a good look
At all the lonely used-to-be's
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

As Time Goes By

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply as time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings, as time goes by

Moonlight and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

(Instrumental)

Moonlight and love songs never out of date

That no one can deny

A fight for love and glory

The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

Ashamed

I'm so ashamed of my eyes cause they still cry for you
After they both watched my hand wave goodbye to you
I've told them time and time again that this will never do
And I've told them how you always laughed at teardrops
I'm so ashamed of my arms for missing you
Last night I woke up just in time to see them reach for you
And now my heart confesses it's still wants you too
I'm so ashamed of them all for loving you

Back Street Affair

You didn't know I wasn't free when you fell in love with me
And with all your young heart you learned to care
It brought you shame and disgrace the world has tumbled in your place
Cause they call our love a back street affair
They say you wrecked my home I'm a husband that's gone wrong
They don't know the sorrow that we've had to bear
For the one that I'm tied to was the first to be untrue
Yes they call our love a back street affair
[ guitar - keyboards ]
We have each other now that's all that matters anyhow
Oh the judgement of gossip's never fair
We'll just be brave and strong then someday they'll see they're wrong
Let them call our love a back street affair
We'll be free for love someday when all the talk is dead away
And the happiness we've hoped for then we'll share
I'll climb a mountain high and then the world will hear me cry
That our love is not a back street affair

Basin Street Blues

No won't you come along with me
Down the Mississippi
We'll take trip to the land of dreams
Floatin' down the river down to New Orleans

And the band'll be there to meet us
Oh, friends to greet us
That's where the light and the dark folks meet
A heaven on earth - they call it Basin Street

Basin street is the street
Where the elite always meet
Out in New Orleans, the land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
And I'd rather be, yes-sir-ee
New Orleans the land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues

Now ain't you glad you came with me
We went down the Mississippi
We took a trip
To the land of dreams
We floated down the river
Down to New Orleans

Basin street - that's the street
Where the elite always meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
And you'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
I'd rather be, yes-sir-ee
New Orleans the land of dreams
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues

Be There For You

It's the way that you kiss me
It's the way that you don't
It's the way that you'll miss me
When you swear that you won't

There's a feeling you give me
When we talk on the phone
God, I hope you outlive me
So I'm never alone

Chorus:
And whatever you do, I will be there for you
Through the thunder the wind and the rain
And whatever you do, I will promise to you
I will be there,
I will be there for you

I may lack social graces
But I won't swallow my pride
See there are millions of places, I could be
But I'm here by your side

(Chorus)

Though there's nothing to guide us
We will weather the storm
Till the heavens divide us
I'll keep you from harm

(Chorus)

And whatever you do, I'll be there for you
Through the thunder, the wind, and the rain
I will always be true, this I promise to you
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Better Left Forgotten

Sometimes when the night calls it a day
And I wake up down in this missing you kind of way
And I remember things better left forgotten
And sometimes when I'm holding someone new
I can't help myself I slip off and think of you
And I remember things better left forgotten
Why oh why won't my mind let go of a love that used to be
And though I try in my heart I know your memory will never set me free

And sometimes right out of the blue I hear a voice and I turn and look for you
And I remember things better left forgotten
[ guitar ]
Why oh why won't my mind let go...

Sometimes when the nights calls it a day
And I wake up down in this missing you kind of way I remember

Big Booty

She said I ain't gonna fix you no more sausage
Biscuits and gravy on the side
You done said the wrong thing to me baby
And you can kiss big booty good-bye

She said I ain't gonna fix you no more QUESAS
Or fix you nothing else that's chicken fried
Go on and find yourself another woman
And you can kiss big booty good-bye

Go on and find yourself a skinny woman
Something a little more your size
And don't come back to me a moaning
When she cuts you off of burgers and fries

She said I ain't gonna fix you no more chicken

And no more Momma's chocolate pies
And here's something heavy for you baby
You can kiss big booty good-bye



Go on and find yourself a skinny woman
Something a little more your size
And don't come back to me a moaning
When she cuts you off of burgers and fries

She said I ain't gonna fix you no more sausage
Biscuits and gravy on the side
You done said the wrong thing to me baby
And you can kiss big booty good-bye

And you can kiss big booty good-bye
And you can kiss big booty good-bye
