Singles
I know a guy who took too many pills
Now he's got a mansion that sits on a hill
14 million served that's correct
17 cars, 3 cribs and 2 jets
I came to test to blood, sweat, tears
Persevered for ten long years
10 years, I was there for 8
And I ain't seen a meaner mutha puttin' food on our plate
I've learned to hate and that's a damn shame
Because I'm gettin' pretty good at this bitch ass game
S...
Walked up in the bar, sat down on the stool
And got the low down from the guy with the jewel
He was playin' pool and he thought he was good
'Cause he bet me five dimes, he could sink 'em with his foot
He grabbed a stick, tried to kick it with his heel
Did a sick back flip and ended up full kneel
He didn't squeal, but it looked like it hurt
And it did 'cause he took me for my cash and my shirt

Everything has a reason
At least that's what they all say
And I've lost my count of the seasons
I don't know what's been makin' me stay
Many's the times that you've hurt me
That's just the way that you live
Many a time is forgotten
But I never said that I can forgive
So baby, don't cry, cry me a river
And baby, don't try to wash over me, yeah
Baby, don't cry, my ship is now sailin'
And I've wa...
Eighty five miles out of Nashville, thinkin' 'bout the way things change
Try an' keep it by the reigns
I'm a lone drifter big money flipper
Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
I never had no lovin' like I had in Alabama
A man of my word and ain't out to hurt nobody
I'm just a M C to keep the boogie in the party
Been singin' lodi dodi...
Hey whatchu tryin? to do?
Why you tryin? to see through me baby
It?s way too hazy
Hey I?m still feelin? the same
So don?t go tryin? to change me baby
You can?t save me
So many people try to bring me down
They wouldn?t last a second in my town
Hey I?ve always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don?t try walkin? inside my shoes
Unless you?re puttin? up somethin? to lose
I said, "He...
Texas to LA
Who brings it to you
Whooooohh
Who's your uncle?
Brooklyn to the bayou
Across the southern plains
Who brings it to you
Who's your uncle?
I can learn to live alone and move on with my life
There's a million things that I can do to occupy my time
I can wake each morning, I can go about my day
I can fumble through my words until I find a few to say
But the hardest thing I've had to do since we've been apart
Is learning how to deal with all this pain inside my heart
'Cause I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love...
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain, oh, ain't it a shame?
Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Won't you take me away?
Begin...
You don't know how you met me, you don't know why
You can't turn around and say good-bye
All you know is when I'm with you I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea, I'm singing
Follow me, everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won't find nobody else like me
I'm not worried 'bout the ring you wear

The freaks come out at night
The freaks come out at night
The freaks come out at night
The freaks come out
The freaks come out at night
Discos don't open till after dark
And it ain't till twelve till the party really starts
And I always had to be home by ten
Right before the fun was about to begin
Crowds of people lined up inside and out
Just one reason to rock the house
But in the day time th...
Half a mile outside Buloxi
Did I come or did I go?
Seven sirens singin' to me
Why I listen I don't know?
I got some smokes, I got some coffee
My head is ready to explode
I'll be makin' my way further down the road
I'm not much for conversation
And I don't care for playin' games
I've heard all the hard luck stories
Man they all turn out the same
I'm the last lonely survivor
And I'm still carryi...
If Heaven ain't a lot like Detroit, I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't a lot like Detroit, I'd just a soon stay home
If they ain't got no 8 mile like they do up in the D
Just send me to Hell or Salt Lake city
It would be about the same to me
It would be about the same to me
Detroit city from the Aretha to Aliyah
To Bob Segar to Joe Louis
N' his arena an now on me
Paradise the mic of over achieve...
You spend your lonely days lookin' for someone
I just wanna be the one that makes your river run
I know it ain't so fun bein' all alone
And I know you wonder when you'll find yourself a home
You ain't foolin' no one, baby
See you don't believe in you
But I do, yeah, I do
Oh, I do, yeah, I do
If you want some company, I don't mind a ride
I don't want your money, baby, and I don't want your prid...
I'm nothing fancy
I'm nothing special that's true
But I know what you're thinkin'
'Cuz I'm thinkin' that same thing too
Now you'd like everything to go your way
And I should probably say
Everything you'd like me to say
But that's not me and baby that just wouldn't be you
You better watch how long you wait
'Cuz baby you might wait too long
I don't know if I could make you happy
And I don't know...
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I've been lost in Boston, Austin, Texas is always sweet
I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street
Never left Sixth Street
You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away
And it seems...
Here's to the good life or so they say
All those parties and games that all those people play
They tell me this is the place to be
All these beautiful people and nothin' to see
Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I don't belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And I've lost what I found, it'll all turn around
In a little while I'll be thinkin' abo...
Guess this is where I get off
Yep
Remember everything I told you?
Yep
Got your song book?
Yep
Got them beats I gave you?
Yep
Money?
Yep
Cell phone?
Amm hmm
What's wrong?
What if I don't make it?
That's impossible
But what If?
Fuck what and tell if to suck my dick
Ha
I taught you too well for that
Besides the money's already made
And the foundation's already been laid
Now, remember the most imp...

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it
I'll keep it comin' with the ooh
I'll keep it comin' with the ooh
I'll keep it comin' with the ooh
I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it
Ooh
Ain't it great to be alive, ain't it great to breathe
Ain't it great to have hit songs hidden up my sleeves
I ain't silly and my songs ain't cute
I don't fly like a bird I just shine for loot, uh
Y...
The days seem so familiar
There's something about the evenings
Even though they change every now and then
Well, I can be myself here
And I can free myself here
I can't believe it's last night again
I see things go down, I hear the talk of the town
Like an echo in my ear
If you should look for me, I'll be right here
I can leave myself here
Or I could use some help here
I can't believe it's last...
I'm sending this letter, I'll mail it today
There's so many things I've been wanting to say
Your mom sent some pictures and my how you've grown
Rock n' roll fathers are never at home
I'm writing this letter, I made you a song
I promised your mom that I'd write while I'm gone
You say daddy come home, we'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late
Skylar I just missed ...
Lookin' back on everything and all the things that stay
I can count on memories 'cuz they don't go away
Good times were hard to hold until she came along
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
I'm not always there I know but she don't mind at all
As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall
She's like Mississippi when the sun comes up at dawn
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an an...
I'm no stranger to shame, I've got little to blame
You sent for me and so I came
I'll come runnin' when you call my name
'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
I said, "I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame"
I might stagger and I might sway
I might stutter just a bit but that's okay
I'm not walkin' too good that's true
I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me through
I might appear...
And you?ll always have a place at my table
Hey dinner?s ready come on and eat
Get her done
This ain't no Memphis soul songs and Motown rhythm and blues
Or smoky broken soundtracks of my every childhood moves
Soothin' are the cameras lookin' out at my back forty
Lord I don't know where I'd be if not from Berry Gordy
See my story ain't that simple and it don't stop here
Patsy Cline still echos t...
It must have been about a hundred years, at least a hundred years
I wish you could come back, just come back home
The day we met feels like a hundred years ago
And I'm still waiting with my hand right by the telephone
Yeah maybe where you are you cannot make that call
Or you can't find a pen, I know it's not your fault
My friends think I'm insane 'cause I've turned old and gray
And I'm still w...
I stayed out late last night
But nothing I could drink could help me drink you off my mind
Everywhere I looked
Ooh, I saw your face
And I wonder, and I wonder if there still might be
A little space in your heart for me
'Cause I'm so cold, I'm so alone
And I miss you, babe
So won't you come to my rescue?
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if yo...
You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
Y...
Well she was lookin' out the window
An' I was starin' at the door
The dog was sleepin' on the sofa
This place has never been this quiet before
You can't pretend it never happened
You can't pretend it's still the same
You can't say you were only jokin'
You can't keep thinkin' at things can go on this way
Somethings you can't take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you can't take back
Th...
Well, you can move it on down the highway
You can turn another page
And when you finally get to the old folk's home
Then you can finally act your age
I can make a million dollars
And you can spend it as fast as it comes
And you can sit there and cry on a bed full of lies
And be thinking that you got you some
There'll be songs about me, there'll be songs about you
There'll be songs about everyt...
Clap your hands to the beat
To the beat
Oh just clap your hands to the beat
To the beat
Come on, clap your hands to the beat

Uh huh and you don't stop, uh-huh and you don't stop

It's kinds hard to miss the crew cause' we all got limps

It still feels good
You were always there to bring me breakfast in bed
And when I stayed out late you had some powder for my head
I've been a bad man
But you never paid no mind
We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time
I believe in something I just don't know what it is
And every time I climb I wind up back on the skids
You always stood by me
When the natives start to whine
We've ...
I know a cabin down there in Tennessee
Where you can't find the forest on account of the trees
And the Old Perry Foster he got something to say
And you can smell the pigs 'cause they've been cookin' all day
I don't need no critics
I don't need no suits
I just need somebody who can tell me the truth
You can keep your opinions
You can keep on walkin'
I'm gonna raise my glass, yeah to Thunderhead...
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And I think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
And I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me and I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
...
You made me laugh some, you made me cry some too
You sent me off into a world of pain and made me someone new
You made all kinds of promises but only some came true
Now I know you need me more than I need you
To think I used to love you for reasons I don't know
You polished up my halo and I dirtied up your soul
I sure had a good time but we both know I can't stay
To think I used to love you bu...

More than I need you

For reasons I don't know

I sure had a good time
But we both know I can't stay
To think I used to love you
But...
The birds outside my window
Want to drive this stupid song into my head
I wake up in this empty bed alone
I guess it's somethin' that I said
I tried to open up a door between us
But I guess it was a wall instead
And I try and I try
And it tears me all up inside
Tell me your dreams
What do they mean?
And what do we want from each other?
Where do we go?
Nobody knows
And what do we want from each...

That is the part, I ain't worked out yet
Every day, I climb a little bit higher
Every night, I learn something new
I'm writin' it down
In case I forget
One day it'll be my story for you
On every page, you will know, how much I love you?
In every line, you will see, how...

Remember the time you said you'd find me
I remember the songs that you used to play
I hear them still and it reminds me

For so long
So glamorous at the outset
Now, you're almost done
You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home

 No Stranger To Shame |
Everything has a reason
At least that's what they all say
And I've lost my count of the seasons
I don't know what's been makin' me stay
Many's the times that you've hurt me
That's just the way that you live
Many a time is forgotten
But I never said that I can forgive
So baby, don't cry, cry me a river
And baby, don't try to wash over me, yeah
Baby, don't cry, my ship is now sailin'
And I've wa...
Day after day I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And I'm feelin' the strain, oh, ain't it a shame?
Oh, give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Give me the beat, boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away
Won't you take me away?
Begin...
You spend your lonely days lookin' for someone
I just wanna be the one that makes your river run
I know it ain't so fun bein' all alone
And I know you wonder when you'll find yourself a home
You ain't foolin' no one, baby
See you don't believe in you
But I do, yeah, I do
Oh, I do, yeah, I do
If you want some company, I don't mind a ride

Now you'd like everything to go your way
And I should probably say
Everything you'd like me to say
But that's not me and baby that just wouldn't be you
You better watch how long you wait
'Cuz baby you might wait too long
I don't know if I could make you happy
And I don't know...
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I've been lost in Boston, Austin, Texas is always sweet
I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street
Never left Sixth Street
You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away
And it seems...
Here's to the good life or so they say
All those parties and games that all those people play
They tell me this is the place to be
All these beautiful people and nothin' to see
Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I don't belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And I've lost what I found, it'll all turn around
In a little while I'll be thinkin' abo...
I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it
I'll keep it comin' with the ooh
I'll keep it comin' with the ooh
I'll keep it comin' with the ooh
I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it
Ooh
Ain't it great to be alive, ain't it great to breathe
Ain't it great to have hit songs hidden up my sleeves
I ain't silly and my songs ain't cute
I don't fly like a bird I just shine for loot, uh
Y...
I'm sending this letter, I'll mail it today
There's so many things I've been wanting to say
Your mom sent some pictures and my how you've grown
Rock n' roll fathers are never at home
I'm writing this letter, I made you a song
I promised your mom that I'd write while I'm gone
You say daddy come home, we'll just have to wait
I hope when I get there that it won't be too late
Skylar I just missed ...
Lookin' back on everything and all the things that stay
I can count on memories 'cuz they don't go away
Good times were hard to hold until she came along
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
I'm not always there I know but she don't mind at all
As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall
She's like Mississippi when the sun comes up at dawn
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an an...
I'm no stranger to shame, I've got little to blame
You sent for me and so I came
I'll come runnin' when you call my name
'Cause I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
I said, "I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame"
I might stagger and I might sway
I might stutter just a bit but that's okay
I'm not walkin' too good that's true
I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me through
I might appear...
I know a cabin down there in Tennessee
Where you can't find the forest on account of the trees
And the Old Perry Foster he got something to say
And you can smell the pigs 'cause they've been cookin' all day
I don't need no critics
I don't need no suits
I just need somebody who can tell me the truth
You can keep your opinions
You can keep on walkin'
I'm gonna raise my glass, yeah to Thunderhead...
You made me laugh some, you made me cry some too
You sent me off into a world of pain and made me someone new
You made all kinds of promises but only some came true
Now I know you need me more than I need you
To think I used to love you for reasons I don't know
You polished up my halo and I dirtied up your soul
I sure had a good time but we both know I can't stay
To think I used to love you bu...
