Just walking down the street, walking down the street Looking at my feet, looking at my feet I don't know, know where to go. Someone told me where to find you, I've been searching all my life. And these worries that I carry, have made me grow wary. I need you to make it alright. I need you to make it right, need to make it right. Make it right tonight, make it right tonight. You're so sweet when you're talking to me I'm gonna love you all the time. You're so fine and I'm going to make you mine Tonight girl you're all mine. Looking really fine, looking really fine. Going to make you mine, going to make you mine tonight. Just walking down the street, walking down the street Looking at our feet, looking at our feet we don't know, know where to go.

I spent the winter in Havana. I drank my money in Atlanta. I know I can't live if i don't see you today. I know it never works but I know I'd never hurt If we could find each other again another way. When you're walking over my grave And you find there's nothing to say Just walk on by No don't you cry Just walk away. Well it's the only way I've known, they tell me And I've always been that way so However you want me to be I will pray but you know I can't change. You say our love is a hometown parade That the fighting is just a charade And that my drinking and thinking is driving you insane. And the only way i knew it was good Between me and you To tell the earth from the moon Was your body for my own Wrapped inside my arms I worshipped all your charms But now it's gone and I am long gone. You know I've been running away But the exits they all look the same. Haven't you needed the freedom of losing your past? My letters will never reach your eyes For you know that they were only lies. Haven't you needed The freedom of losing your past?

Steamboat 03:56
Steamboat, steamboat Take me home tonight. For there's a girl that I want to hold tight. She's waiting for me at the pier. It feels like I've been waiting for years. Steamboat, steamboat Don't slow down around the river bend. Tell the captain the moon will light Our way again. Pulling up to the dock just around eleven O'clock. Same girl different town, she's always moving around. Where ever she is That's where I'm found, that's where you'll find me. I'll buy my tickets at the station I'm tired of chasing you Every night a new destination And off we go to the sweetest girl I know Chug-a long chug-a long Steamboat, steamboat Won't you hurry along the way I see the morning climbing the sky The moon is changing in time And our eyes are speaking in rhyme.
5.
The phone syndrome has got me down. Yeah the phone syndrome's got me down. I spend my time all around town Just to end up here at the lost and found The phone syndrome's got me down. You saw me sitting alone. Yeah you saw me sitting alone. You walked up to me with your pretty eyes Said, 'You're not sleeping alone tonight.' So I followed you to your home. Why won't you answer your phone? Why won't you answer that phone? Throw away your reasons why. I want to let you know I won't be denied So i stood all night outside your home. I called you when i was alone. I wanted to not be alone. I forgot what i do not need No love is more than just lust and greed So I forgot the way to your home.
6.
Sally Sue 00:34
Oh, Miss Sally Sue Won't you come back soon? I'm looking forward to that.
7.
Getting over your love Getting over your sweet love I try so hard To make you stay But it's even harder when you're pushing me away. Getting over your heart Getting over your cold heart. But don't, don't you leave Because you're all I want and all I need.

Lovinman 04:33
I just need one cloud to cover the sun. I walked a mile in your shoes Like you said I crossed the sahara wishing I was dead I don't know if i can do it I don't know if I can But I'm going to love you baby I'm your lovin man. I just need one drink to save my life. Send me your whiskey and your Bourbon too. I will stumble my way back Home to you. I don't know if I can do it I don't know If i can But I'm going to love you baby I'm your lovnin man I just need one word to pick me up. I just need your words to pick me up. I read your letters smelt your Sweet perfume We are going to make love In your living room I don't know if I can do it I don't know if I can But I'm going to love you baby I'm your lovin man. I'm just one step outside your door. I walked a mile in your shoes Like you said I found no other place to Rest my head. I don't know if i can do it I don't know if I can But I'm going to love you baby I'm your lovin man.

Needing You 05:16
Get gone, get strong Get long gone I don't even want to see your face around my door. Get back, get slack Mean as a heart attack I don't even need you anymore. You're the sweetest girl in town But when he comes around I say no way, no sir How could I have ever loved her? He says nice shoes, nice hat Talking to me like I don't know Where it's at Couldn't you have found another? I would die for this love of mine But I'm so blind to the truth That she belongs with you. You're so high heel, high brow Know exactly what to feel I should have turned around When I saw you shufflin down easy street. I knew how the sun burned Every time I learned the way Your body curved. You're so high heel, high brow Know exactly what to feel Your love is like a sarin gas cloud But I knew how the sun burned Every time you turned to Anything with two feet and a heartbeat When I want you in the night When I want you to hold me tight When I want you and your charms When I want you in my arms All I got to do is dream I want you so I could die I need you so and that is why All i got to do is dream My life away

Honey Beware 03:26
Honey Beware of your heart And where it may lead you Because you've been down That road before and you know There's no hope for you. If you stay with him You know he's going to hurt you The man will desert you Call me on the phone I'm drinkin alone, waiting. Honey you don't realize He's got sugar in his lies And you don't know what he's up to Do you? Just the other night I saw him With his arms around someone new Some people say I'll never learn Hopelessly waiting for your return I put my hands together And I pray that things get better someday But tonight I'll be forgetting All the words that I said today.
12.
Don't you think it's about time Honey you opened up your eyes Time is money I don't mean to brag My life's a drag without you Oh no the world is spinning faster And i thought I heard you say Your father was a bastard I don't mean to brag My life's a drag without you. Oh no It's getting harder. Don't you break my heart Don't you mess around Don't you do it to me babe Don't you think it's about time You opened up your eyes You're thinking too much You know that it's just a disguise To get yourself through the shit like anybody else. Oh no I never thought it was wrong To open up your heart and sing a song I know you're trying. I know you're trying but you can't get by. Oh no it's getting harder. Oh but I will die trying Come on honey time is money You know honey time is money. Don't you break my heart.
13.
Well it's two-thirty in the afternoon I need to feel your love I need to feel it soon Can you come, can you give me some? I know it's good to anticipate But girl you're going to kill me if you make me wait So come on, let's get it on. Oh one, two, three four five The motion of emotion keeping me alive It's okay to be afraid of things you haven't tried But you know (I'll keep you satisfied!!) Oh one, two, one to three Oh I know, you know, we know you're coming home with me 'Cause I have got a love emergency Well give me a whiskey and give me a beer Get me loaded up and get me out of here I ain't got no time to lose Kiss me once, kiss me on the face Give me just a little taste Of what you've got in store to cure my blues Oh one, two, three four five The motion of emotion keeping me alive It's okay to be afraid of things you haven't tried But you know (I'll keep you satisfied!!) Oh one, two, one to three Oh I know, you know, we know you're coming home with me 'Cause I have got a love emergency Well I'm sitting here on a Saturday night Trying to figure out whether I was wrong or right Now you're gone, you ain't coming home, oh no Well all the things I said were true I'll never love a girl the way that I love you But I'm tired and I don't want to sleep alone Grab my hat, grab my guitar Make my way downtown to a music bar And grab myself the prettiest girl I find Cause there's one thing you don't under stand I'm a man in demand and I don't give a damn 'Cause as soon as you're out of sight You're out of mind! Well give me a whiskey and give me a beer Get me loaded up and get me out of here I ain't got no time to lose

Hammer Fell 04:52
Runnin around Reload and shoot'em down Don't nobody worry about me I got a few tricks up my sleeve I chased the devil As he chased me Chased me right up my family tree To my chagrin and my surprise I was standing right in front Of my Father's eyes. I went for the pistol hanging off my waist Starring down the barrel at an empty face So Long, I screamed as the hammer fell When no bullets came out I ran like hell I ran to the only place I knew And some man was sleeping with you. Oh no. I hid in the shadows of your bedroom Every time he was breathing You were breathing too So I raised my gun up above my head And beat him till your sheets turned red You looked surprised At what I had done So I handed you the bloody gun Oh God, you screamed as the hammer fell When no bullets came out I ran like hell I ran to the station and I fell into a train And my head was spinning with pain. I laid myself down In the old caboose Woke up to the sound Of the wheels shakin loose The sparks burnt the air and lit the silhouette Of the train disappearin' through the sunset I ran from the wreckage Ran down the track I could feel the devil breathing down my back So i split for the woods and came to a tree With a sing rope swinging silently I went for the pistol hanging of my waist Starring down the barrel into empty space So Long, I screamed as the hammer fell Don't Lord, don't forget about me, oh Lord. Runnin around, one shot sound laid me down. So Long, I screamed as the Hammer fell

Wouldn't it be much easier If we could see the life we led Many years from now when We're laying down Just trying to go to bed I would fix my wrongs And finish so many songs That just got stuck in my head And we would learn to love Before we were dead. Sometimes it's too much Somebody always feels rushed You got a heart of stone But nobody can try To get through harder than I No, I would break my bones Only to find that I have wasted time And I've ended up back home Sometimes feeling loved Is like feeling alone But I want nobody but you. And I love nobody but you. I know it's hard to forget What an unfaithful wreck I have been. To say that I'm yours With my clothes on the floor And my head full of gin Your back's been turned And I've been starting to learn That the only way back in Is to let you let me love you again. I mean when I say That I'm done with those days I'll put an end to All the words that come out That fill your heart with doubt I'll put an end to
