Together Forever
04:15
|
|||
|
Don't you worry, don't you bother
We will be together forever
Don't you fret, don't be sullen
We will be together forever
Don't be a downer, don't be a drag
We will be together forever
Don't lose hope and don't give up
We will be together forever
I will love you like nobody's business
And I will be your solid rock
I will be there when the snow comes down
And I will plow your block
I will be there when you feel abandoned
I will be your shining knight
I will whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And turn the wrongs into right
I will stand up against your bullies
When they put you down
And when you're out there in the middle of ocean
I won't let you drown
I will be the one that you can count on
When nobody else is around
I will be the keeper of the flame
That illuminates the wayward path
I will help you when you are feeling lost
And I will help you with your math
I will hold you like you never been held
I will make you feel needed
I will tell you just how great you are
And just how much you have succeeded

Bourbon Rain
07:24
|
|||
|
The air is thick
Lays a lacquer on the streets
And girls do a cha-cha in their underwear
The dew point is so high
Your clothes they never dry
And there's always a frizz in your hair
I am soaked to my soul
In the bourbon rain
A stick in a shoal
In the bourbon rain
Won't you throw me a rope
In the bourbon rain
You're my one and only hope
In the bourbon rain
The air is heavy
And the sweat it beads up on your skin
Like mottles on a brown paper bag
You can't get dry
No deodorant is strong enough
So you walk around like a wet old rag
The air is fat
And it swallows you like a coat
Makes it hard for you to catch your breath
The forecast is grim
And I am soaked down to my socks
I'm afraid I might catch my death

Done It All Wrong
04:20
|
|||
|
Thought I done it right, fighting the good fight
But I done it all wrong
Thought I got it straight, thought I was first rate
But I done it all wrong
I had such good intention
Gonna build a great invention
Gonna reinvent the wheel
And I would be a big frickin' deal
I wasted my whole life long doing it wrong
Thought I was so smart, that I'd play a crucial part
But I done it all wrong
Thought I'd be a king and everyone would kiss my ring
But I done it all wrong
I designed a crest, I built myself a nest
I threw up a monument
Now I wonder where it went
Set the world shaking, didn't think that I was faking
But I done it all wrong
Thought I'd build a base for the whole human race
But I done it all wrong
I'd live it to the hilt with all the shit I built
I'd take us for a ride with God on my side

Don't Wanna Discuss It
04:57
|
|||
|
You always nag me about every little thing
You don't let nothing go
I wish you saw things from my point of view
'Cause then you'd know what I know
Don't wanna have to always give myself up
Don't wanna say what's on my mind
And if you keep on with a-bugging me
I'll be extremely unkind
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna hear what you have to say
Don't wanna talk about it
Just shut your mouth and go away
Don't wanna discuss it
Don't wanna discuss it
I don't wanna discuss it
You're always on me to tell you how I feel
But there is nothing you haven't been told
You keep a-pushing and a-prodding me
As if one day you will strike gold
Don't take my silence for indifference
I won't be venting my spleen
When I say I don't want to be a-talkin'
That's exactly what I mean

I'll Be in Touch
05:07
|
|||
|
I know I made some promises
I told you many things
I said I’d always be around
Love you without any strings
But stuff keeps coming up for me
I’m a pretty busy guy
Hold on, hold on
I will be there soon
Hold on, hold on
Maybe Tuesday afternoon
Let me see what I can do
I’ll be in touch, I’ll be in touch
I’ll be in touch, just you wait and see
I’ve told you lots of stories
About how much I care
Don’t you know I really mean it
Love you my little sugar bear
But I got some appointments to keep
Each and every day
Hold on, hold on
I will be there soon
Hold on, hold on
Maybe Thursday afternoon
Let me see what I can do
I know I can sound sincere
When I say I love you
I don't care about nobody more
There is no one above you
But I got some stuff I gotta get to
I got a full plate
Hold on, hold on
I will be there soon
Hold on, hold on
Maybe Sunday afternoon
Let me see what I can do

I'm so glad that you are gathered here
I got something to say
Just got back from my good ol' doc, yeah
And I'm not doing OK
He said that's something is wrong
Said my time ain't long
See ya later, alligator
Just came back to say goodbye
In a while, crocodile
Just came back to say goodbye
Just came back, just came back
Just came back to say goodbye
I don't got a lot I can call my own
Most of it is just junk
Let's raise a glass or two, yeah
And get ourselves dead drunk
Sorry that I have to disappoint
As I take my leave of this joint
I'm glad that you are all gathered here
I got something to tell
Except for my wife and my kid, yeah
You can all go to hell
How can I make it more clear
Or make myself more sincere
Wish I had something to tell ya
Something deep and profound
Don't wanna leave you wanting
When they put me in the ground

Get Through
04:54
|
|||
|
What can I say and what can I do
What can I say and do
To get through to you
What if I hurt you
You know did something mean
Crush your fragile heart
Stomp on your self-esteem
Then would I get through
How do I live when I am not living
I go back and forth
Between being selfish and being giving
What if were honest
And told you how I feel
Would that make a difference
Make it become real
Then would I get through
I know I shouldn’t say this
I know you must think I’m nuts
I just can’t help myself
I feel it deep down in my guts
I know what you’re thinking
You’re thinking it’s wrong
I go back and forth
Like a game of ping-pong
Wish I were stronger
Force you out of my soul
Would you like me more
If I were more in control
Then would I get through
I know I shouldn't want this but want this I do
I know I don't stand a chance
But I just want to get through

Some Kind of Heaven
03:58
|
|||
|
When I am weak from carrying my load, yeah
When I reach that old end of the road
When I'm fed up and when I'm done
Well I'm gonna have my day in the sun
The Emerald City, it ain't half as pretty
As some kind
Some kind of heaven
Well I am young and I am fit
And I don't give a flying shit
This must be some kind of heaven
Well I drive myself a Maserati and I sing like Pavarotti
This is some kind of heaven
The City of Light, well it ain't half as bright
And the Taj Mahal, it don't compare at all
Everything is perfect here
Got no worries, got no fear
Everyone is happy and tan
Every child, woman and man
The Great Wall of China it seems rather minor
The Pyramids of Giza, well it just doesn't please ya
The Gardens of Babylon just make you wanna yawn
The Temple of Artemis, it’s so easy to dismiss

Not My Body
04:38
|
|||
|
What’s this strange sensation
I got under my skin
It’s like something is throbbing
Bowing my violin
Have I gone and blown a gasket
Do I have a boner
Do I give a shit
I’m just a short-time landowner
This is not my body
Not my body no more
No this is not my body
Just a broken sycamore
What’s this funny old feeling
Creeping down my back
Have I gone and slipped a disk
Well something’s outta whack
I look just like my old man
In the years before his big sleep
A feeble old shell of himself
Tossed onto life’s trash heap
What’s this unfunny thought
I got stuck in my brain
Can’t shake it for the life of me
It drives me insane
Keep seeing the foreshadows
Of grimmer days ahead
When the only peace that I’ll get
Is the peace of the dead

You Make It Real
04:58
|
|||
|
You, you make it real
You, you, you make it real to me
I don't know what to think
And I don't know what to feel
And when I wander all alone
I don't know what is real
You tell me that you love me
You tell me that you care
You look me straight between the eyes
I see you standing, standing there
I've been burned so many times
By all the cheaters and their lies
Well I don't how to trust
To do so seems unwise
But you taught me to believe
You tossed me down a rope
Yeah you turned my world around
And filled me up with hope
It's as real as it gets, as real as it can be
It's as real as gets for a lost soul like me
You turned me upside down
And you showed me the way
You held me by the hand
And you said it will be OK

Top Shelf
03:42
|
|||
|
Well I am going up to the highest height
And nothing, nothing's gonna stop me
Yeah I am going up to the highest height
And nothing, nothing's gonna top me
Well I am bright and I am sharp
And nothing's gonna get in my way
Well I ain't no stooge and I ain't no innocent
And I use a little foul play
Top shelf, top shelf
Well I am gonna rule the whole civilized world
And no one, no one will halt me
Yeah I am gonna rule the whole civilized world
And no one, no one's gonna fault me
Well I sly and I am fleet
And people wanna join my flock
I am clever and I am scary
People wanna buy my stock
Top shelf, top shelf
Well I am gonna be the king of kings
And no will be contrary
Yeah I am gonna be the king of kings
And will have no adversary
Well I am cool and I am sexy
And many people like my hair
I have fame and I have moola
And I don't have to be fair
Top shelf, top shelf

Life's Last Day
04:55
|
|||
|
The sun is shining
Shining down with all its might
Got to get on out
Get out before the night
No time to procrastinate
No time to delay
Looks like this is
Life's last day
Oh yeah, let's sing hooray
Hip-hip-hooray
It's life's day
No more worries
No more strife
Hip-hip-hooray
It's life's day
No more troubles
No more life
Your heart is a-beatin'
Louder than a big bass drum
You are so filled with joy
That it has struck you dumb
The clock is a-tickin'
You better be on your way
Looks like this is
Life's last day
Oh yeah, let's sing hooray
Gather your stuff
And move right along
Count up your sins
And sing this sweet old song
The sun is a-settin'
Setting down around you
Better get a-movin'
Before this day is through
Better settle with your debtors
And wipe all your debts away
Looks like this is
Life's last day
Oh yeah, let's sing hooray
