My friends can't find some things I say
Must be the way I say those things
My friends can't find some things I do
Must be the way I do those things
I can't change it
But I'm trying to do right
I used to steal I used to fall
Was I wrong I can't recall
I stole in love but all in all
Was I wrong I don't recall
I can't change it
But I'm trying to do right
Is it bad to look inside yourself and decide to go
To someone who can show the way complete
Are you glad to lose the doubts you thought would never go
When them inside hallucinations had you beat
My own true love has gone away
What can I say she left that day
The moon still shines a different way
What can I say
She left that day

On nights like this I need you so I wish you didn't have to go
You're meetin' someone that I don't even know
But I won't try to make you stay cause you wouldn't listen anyway
Although you're here your love left long ago
And I miss you most when you're right here beside me
You think of her and make believe you're there
And though I feel such emptiness without you
It seems I miss you most when you're here
All the love for me has left your face and a bothered look now takes its place
I'm searching for the man that used to be
I could beg you now but it's no good I know you'd love me if you could
But this loneliness can't get much worse for me

Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning round
And I still love you
So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, its all right
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When Im gone
It wont be long before another day
We gonna have a good time
And no ones gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like
So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, its all right
I don't know no love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
And you can sing this song

A woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting,
She'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions.
A simple conversation for the new men now and again
Makes a touchy situation when a good face come into your head.
And when she gets lonely, she's thinking 'bout her man,
She knows he's taking her for granted, yeah yeah,
Honey, she doesn't understand, no no no no!
Well, the fevers of the night, they burn an unloved woman
Yeah, those red-hot flames try to push old love aside.
A woman left lonely, she's the victim of her man, yes she is.
When he can't keep up his own way, good Lord,
She's got to do the best that she can, yeah!
A woman left lonely, Lord, that lonely girl,

I live on a battlefield
Surrounded by the ruins of the love we built
And then destroyed between us
The smoke has cleared
As I stumble through the rubble
I'm dazed, seeing double
And I'm truly mystified
My new home is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water
And bits of broken heart
All around there is desolation
And scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
The one where not one single drop of blood has spilled
Is no less horrifying
Sweet memories, memories
Of a bygone situation
Now shattered lord and battered
Lie scattered all around
My new home is a shell hole filled
With tears and muddy water
Yes and bits of broken heart
All around there is desolation
And scenes of devastation
Of a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
Everything that can has gone wrong
(I live on a battlefield)
It's gonna take spine to carry on
(I live on a battlefield)
Like a drowning man coming up for air
(I live on a battlefield)
I'm looking for another survivor
But I can't see one anywhere
My new home is filled with muddy water
All around there's bits of broken heart
My world is one of desolation
And scenes of devastation
There is no consolation
For a love been torn apart
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield
I live on a battlefield, battlefield

River, river carry me on
Living river carry me on
River, river carry me on
To the place where I come from
So deep, so wide, will you take me on your back for a ride
If I should fall, would you swallow me deep inside
River, show me how to float
I feel like I'm sinking down
Thought that I could get along
But here in this water
My feet won't touch the ground
I need something to turn myself around
Going away, away towards the sea
River deep, can you lift up and carry me
Oh roll on though the heartland
'Til the sun has left the sky
River, river carry me high
'Til the washing of the water make it all alright
Let your waters reach me like she reached me tonight
Letting go, it's so hard
The way it's hurting now
To get this love untied
So tough to stay with thing
'Cause if I follow through
I face what I denied
I get those hooks out of me
And I take out the hooks that I sunk deep in your side
Kill that fear of emptiness, loneliness I hide
River, oh river, river running deep
Bring me something that will let me get to sleep
In the washing of the water will you take it all away

I listen to the wind
To the wind of my soul
Where i'll end up well i think,
Only god really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never
I listen to my words but
They fall far below
I let my music take me where
My heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
But never, never never never
I'll never make the same mistake

I want to hold you now
And listen to you breathe
It's like the ocean sound
Whispering through the trees
In the hollow of your shoulder
There's a tide pool of my tears
Where the waves came crashing over
And the shoreline disappears
Baby close your eyes
Fly back there with me
Where the phosphor shines
Green flashlights from the sea
Our nets were full of soft shells
Our hearts were free from toil
We made love on the kitchen table
Till the water reached a boil
We hold it all for a little while, don't we...
Kiss the dice, taste the rain
Like little knives upon our tongue
We can do no wrong when the lights come on
And the music plays
And we take the stage like we own the place
As if time were cheap and the night forever young
So let 'em turn my soul
Seven shades of blue
And with the ocean's roll
I will wave to you
And the birds will sing my laughter
And the whales will steal my song
I'll be oke forever after
And the world will get along
We hold it all for a little while, don't we...
Kiss the dice, taste the rain
Like little knives upon our tongue
We can do no wrong when the lights come on
And the music plays
And we take the stage like we own the place

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I'd looked to find the reason to believe.
Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I'd looked to find the reason to believe.
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.

Every time you fall in love
That's the best time of all.
It's holding sunlight in your hand,
It's heaven come to call;
And you wonder: will it last forever?
And you try to keep tomorrow locked away,
'Cause tomorrow is forever
And love's enough for anyone today.
Every time you fall in love,
That's the only time it's read;
And that girl is the only girl
Who shares the way you feel.
And you wonder how you lived without her,
And you tell yourself she'll never go away,
'Cause tomorrow is forever
And love's enough for anyone today.
Love's enough to find your heart and lose it
To see the doubt and choose it over knowing how or when;
Love's enough to know if she'd refuse it,
You'd take what's left and try your luck again.
'Cause every time you fall in love
That's the one and only time.
It's living through the final verse
Of a one and lonely rhyme.
'Cause you know this one will last forever,
And you turn and watch tomorrow drift away,
'Cause tomorrow is forever

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.
What else, what else is there to do ?
Oh and I know how you feel,
I know you feel that you're through.
Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,
Ah, count your little fingers,
My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.
Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops
Oh, feel 'em falling down, oh honey all around you.
Honey don't you know it's time,
I feel it's time,
Somebody told you 'cause you got to know
That all you ever gonna have to count on
Or gonna wanna lean on
It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do
When they're falling down, honey, all around you.
Oh, I know you're unhappy.
Oh sit there, ah go on, go on
And count your fingers.
I don't know what else, what else
Honey have you got to do.
And I know how you feel,
And I know you ain't got no reason to go on
And I know you feel that you must be through.
Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,
I want you to count, oh count your fingers,
Ah my unhappy, my unlucky
And my little, oh, girl blue.
I know you're unhappy,
Ooh ah, honey I know,

They say just once in life
You find someone that's right
But the world looks so confused
I can't tell false from true
And love's so hard to find
In this state of mind
Oh i hope I'll know him
I hope I'll know him
If he's ever near
Well it seemed the time had come
I thought you were the one
When I looked into your eyes
It never looked like lies
And love's so hard to see
That when it's in front of me
Oh I hope I'll know it
I hope I'll know it
If it's ever near
Cause love's so hard to see
And when it's in front of me
Oh I hope I'll know it
I hope I'll know it
If it's ever near
Well I know that in my time
I'll have it sweet and fine
But it won't add up to much
Unless I feel his touch
And love's so hard to find
I guess I'll just give up trying
But I hope I'll know him
I hope I'll know him

The sign went up one rainy morning
Just a couple of hours after dawn
Mrs. Hadley peaked out through her curtains
Wondering what was going on
The neighbors said over coffee cups
That nice young couple is breaking up
And in the living room the linen and the crystals
Sit all packed and set to go
I tell myself once more I won't be here in spring
To see my roses grow
And all the things you tried to fix
The roof still leaks, the door still sticks
House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine
And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share
I know you've always loved that painting
From that funny little shop in Spain
Remember how we found it when we ducked in
From that sudden summer rain
But I think I'll keep the silver tray
My mother gave us on our wedding day
House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine
And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share
House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine
And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share
House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale
It was yours and it was mine
And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories
The one we used to share
House for sale
You can read it on the sign
House for sale, oho
It was yours and it was mine
And tomorrow some strangers
Will be climbing up the stairs
To the bedroom filled with memories

Traveling at night, the headlights were bright
And we’d been up many an hour
And all through my brain
Came the refrain
Of home and it’s warming fire
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it’s own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still
The people I've seen
They come in between
The cities of tiring life
The trains come and go,
But inside you know
The struggle will soon be a fight
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it’s own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I'm standing still
Traveling at night,
The headlights were bright.
But soon the sun came through the trees
Around the next bend
The flowers will send
The sweet scene of home in the breeze
And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it’s own wings
To fly over the mountains

I was born on a levy
A little bit south of Montgomery
Mama worked in the big house
And, daddy, he worked for the county
I never had no learning
Until I turned sixteen
When Joe Henry come up the river
Lord, made a woman out of me
(Yes, he did)
Lord, he made a woman out of me
I used to tease Joe Henry
I guess it served me right
Wasn't long till he left me
Crying out in the night
Joe Henry had his say
He wouldn't set me free
I'm here to tell everybody
That the man made a woman out of me
Lord, he made a woman out of me
When I think back
To that day so long ago
I get a little feeling
On my mind
Although it hurt me
There's one thing I know
When he left, he left him
A woman behind
When I meet another young man
Wanting to love and run
My mind goes back to Joe Henry James
And the heck of a job he done
Ain't no other man let me down
You see I been set free
Ever since way back yonder
When Joe made a woman out of me
(Yes, he did)
Lord, he made a woman out of me
(He made a woman)
Lord, he made a woman out of me
Joe made a woman out of me
Lord, he made a woman out of me
(Yes, he did)
Joe made a woman out of me
(He made a woman)

Oh I wanna find a river
And take it down to the sea
And drift on by so slowly
Oh if you think about me
You know you could help me through
You know I would return in kind
Oh I wanna find a city
That's open wide
That's open all night
Where I could not hide
>From it's burnin' light
So warm, so bright
Let me run so free and easily
Shelter me with its sweet mysteries
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
Oh I wanna find my baby
But I do not know where he lies
And I do not know if he cries
Or laughs at me
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
I wanna find my baby

(Janis Ian)
If I had boots like Emmy's Lou's
I'd be a country star
With rhinestones on my BVD's
And a hummingbird guitar
I'd buy myself the biggest bus
That ever graced the track
WIth a loveseat for the two of us
And a swimming pool in back
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd wear my hair like Loretta used to do
I'd sing like Patsy Cline
And Kitty Wells combined
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd never need shine
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd be so very rich
I'd hired a dog to scratch me
Every time I got an itch
I'd buy a thousand cadillacs
With longhorns on the front
Drive one 'till the ashtray filled
Then haul it to the dump
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd wear my hair like Loretta used to do
I'd sing like Patsy Cline
And Kitty Wells combined
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd never need shine
I'd buy my clothes from Nudie
Have fingernails like Tammy
I'd tease my hair like Dolly
And measure ten feet tall
I'd teach those boots to sing
Play fiddle on one string
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd never need a ring
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd die without a care
Fly straight up to heaven's gate
And push my way in there
And when saint Peter asked me
What I'd done to be so bold
I'd point down to my boots and say
"They're recently resoled"
So fit me for a robe
Wings and halo too
But I cannot stay if you take away
My boots like Emmy Lou's
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd wear my hair like Loretta used to do
I'd sing like Patsy Cline
And Kitty Wells combined
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's

Out of Nothin'
Yeah yeah turn that beat up well fuck it well fuck it prince for life
Drop the crown Vick baseboard scrape the floor you you couldn't get the

Something out of nothin make it something out of nothin who me I ain't
Really all nothin I can make it happen make it something out of nothing as

The primes kept me running the world is real hungry number one chasing
Money pain can only chase away the greed I find that kind of funny black
Alley hair when the needles extra bloody use to be a friend of mine he died
That was my drug buddy life style catch up just like the seasons change we

Reek the coke that she sniffs always makes her nose bleed the party goes

Ain't really all nothin I can make it happen make it something out of
Nothin make it something out of nothin make it something out of nothin who

Inhale poison, heart so frozen
Consider me an Omen, Enter when you open the doors
And I'm stranger than the doors
All these lil girls runnin round like whores
Damn, my head is spinnin like a ceiling fan
I'm just tryna figure out who I really am
Now I could be me,
Or I could be you
Most of these fools don't know why they suppose to do
Hey, steady smokin haze
Lick vanilla Dutch and I take it to my face
Lost in a maze, I ain't ever fazed
Forgot about the days where I use to be afraid.
(chorus)
On the weed, on the acid
First I met a bad bitch, then I met an actress
And they was thinkin they could never have Rich
Now I'm singing like you never heard Rich
Blunt burnin perfect
Some for sure shit
This ain't a limo this is dark on sum hearse shit
And I don't touch music, I usually hurt it
Yeah
I like to beat it up abuse it
Use it,
Heart is real cold like I never met Cupid
If they don't kno then they must be real stupid
Slow bus
And I'ma inhale,
Just as soon as the fuse lit
(chorus)
Addiction, puts right at ease
Tell um take it easy
Tell her heaven needs me
If they don't, I'll be there when they need me
Smokin reefer, and I don't need her
I need either, and it's running thru my veins
If I didn't kno then I didn't kno my name
Tryna stay sane but I'm going insane
And they don't play these, Mind Games
I guess I'm different, bit it don't mean nothing
And they gone talk about it, soon as they seen somethin
Not me, singin how it is, Singin how I live
