I’ll go get my high heels on I’ll go get my fancy dress, and then we’ll be gone Maybe we’ll down a few And dance ‘til dawn Don’t care what we do babe, As long as you’re around Don’t care where we are It could be Paris or just a local bar But this I know, this I hold as truth That everywhere is better when you’re around Oh so meet me in the garden and we’ll make out Oh meet me in the subway and we’ll find out How long it takes to get to the end And then we’ll do, we’ll do it all again ‘cause Anything is better when you are around Oh even the air I breath And even the I song I sing Oh even the sun in the sky Looks different in my eyes On the mountain Or valley below Doesn’t matter where I go As long as you are around Oh even the cat and the mouse Start to get along in this house And things don’t seem so bad When I’m with my lad The sun still shines on a rainy day When I’m with him things are A-Okay ‘Cause everything And everywhere Is better when, you are You are around

If I would look for trouble No trouble I'd find Out on a sea of danger Red weather is fine If I was death to thunder Six feet under In a box made of pine I wouldn't have the heartache of when you were mine Oh I could forge through valleys a And not break a sweat Enter a deal with gamblers No sense of regret If I could blow my money Spend it sonny Run up a big debt I wouldn't rue the future if we never met Were we trying No denying this Always wishing For a little kiss If I would look for trouble No trouble I'd find Out on a sea of danger Red weather is fine If I was death to thunder Six feet under In a box made of pine I wouldn't have the heartache of when you were mine If I could steal tomorrow No sorrow I’d find No need to beg or borrow Or swallow my pride And I don’t fret the weather It gets better With the passing of time And I wouldn’t have the heartache of when you were mine

When you take this heart then you will know Cuz when you take my heart you take my soul And if that’s your goal Well I’m takin’ role And if you say “here” Then I know it is quite clear That you are for real About lovin’ me So lets get to the facts Lets pick up all the slack If you wanna turn back Hit the road jack Cuz I’m tired of playing games They’re driving me insane Too much heartache and pain for me And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make whole Now you think you’re so cool With those patent leather shoes Make those girls go cuckoo For you And those hearts ripe for takin’ All those worlds that you’re breakin’ Sayin’ love that you’re makin’ Well that ain’t cool Cuz when you take my heart You will know right from the start That you will always be apart So don’t mess around And I can see right Through your trickery Don’t mess around with me Cuz I bite back And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole Now right now it’s a quarter to three And I’ve been waitin’ patiently For you to arrive And I told you son I ain’t ever held a gun But if you mess with me Gonna get me one Cuz when you take my heart And when you take my soul You will know Cuz you ain’t ever comin’ Ain’t ever comin’ back at all And when you take my heart And when you take my soul You will know Cuz you ain’t ever comin’ Ain’t ever comin’ back at all And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you take this heart And you make it whole And you make it whole And you make it

Lying under water let the air seep out Like our founding fathers we are filled with doubt about What happens next And in out great surroundings we are filled with joy Still we only know that we are just a girl and boy In this crazy mess But I'll make us wings to fly And out of the sea we'll try Fish are made for swimmin' But I was made for livin' I can't help you see past these limits but I'll try Lord knows that I'll try You flew too close once and you got hurt But what's the point of burnin' if you can't learn to fall Every now and then Change is good for the soul But I can't help you if you say no I'll carry you beyond the blue if you want me too Just you and I Way up high if you want me too Lying under water let the air seep out Oh like our founding fathers we are filled with doubt about What happens next

Those boys in the boonies Know how to woo me When they give me some of that ol’ moon shine The stuff that we’re drinkin’ What the hell are we thinkin’ Oh but give me some homemade shine and I’ll be fine So pass that ol’ jug around It’s that best bar outside of town It’ll get you drunk and it’ll only cost a dime Bootleggers and Baptists too Can’t get enough of this here brew So take a swig and we’ll have a grand ol’ time Oh put that copper kettle on Fillin’ jugs and singin’ songs Down by the river In the pale moonlight I support my local stiller He says boys go fill her Up with homemade whiskey when the moon is bright Chorus Hickory hickory ash and oak Straight up hooch, don’t chase with coke I like it straight and I like strong I down my corn liquor It gets me drunk much quicker Than anything else that comes along An’ you can give me Jack and you can give me Jim But I don’t really care for them Rum and wine just seem like such a crime When I see the smoke blowin’ I know I best get goin’ and Get me some of that ol’ moonshine Chorus

Tired Eyes 03:12
Oh tired eyes I’ll sing you lullabies To feed your hungry soul To drink slumber’s wine In fairy land Where we walk oh hand-in-hand And rest on the moon that holds us close Oh my love what ails you? The stars still do shine The roses that bloom Lay kisses on your eyes Forget-me-knots are tied The colors rolling in your seamless mind The sorriest of woes Lead nowhere Oh my love what ails you? The stars still do shine The roses that bloom Steal kisses from your eyes High hopes and memories If you need me dear Find the keys and come on home I hope your dreams Are filled with romance Behind those hidden doors I humbly wait Behind those hidden doors I’ll always wait

Nanny goat is crying in the middle of the night Momma alligator is looking for a bite Two little goaties went out to play None came back to see the light of day And they became a midnight snack You better watch your back Yellow eyes, teeth that mauls Sandy hair, dirty claws Right there in the trees He's so stealth, you can't see The beast is coming for you And there is nothing you can do Cause that's the nature of his game Victimizing and causing pain He's just trying to get on by You better say your goodbyes Long tongue, scaly skin No arms, venom You're the meat You better run Or a snack you'll become The beast is coming for you He'll sink his teeth right into you And you can run Oh you can hide But you'll just be biding time Billy and Nan where first the list Next thing you know it is you kids He'll be back and he'll want some more Before you know it, he's at your door So don't be rude Pop a 'lude And get in the mood Cause you are food

If you’d be my old man I’d be your sea If you need love Take what you need If you get lost in the dark I’ll be your light To guide you thru the night The winds of change are blowing i’m caught in the tide oh i’ll keep on rowing won’t let love pass me by If you’d be my old man I’d be your sea If you need love Take what you need If you get lost in the dark I’ll be your light To guide you thru the night I’ll see you in a dream someday

Under your feet Black river road carries you up the street Leading somewhere you once known Never complaining ‘bout the weight of your sorry soul And miles away The pavement glistens as night turns to day the road always listens to heart ache and pain oh black river road won’t you carry me home driven’ for hours thinking in my head passin’ water towers what could have been said instead I’m here alone Oh black river road Won’t you carry me home Eyes gettin’ weary The road looks rough ahead So black river road Won’t you please Carry me home Oh black river road Won’t you carry me home

I’ve been sittin’ on the edge of reason I swallowed my tongue Oh I committed treason To my heart So I ain’t going back Ain’t going back That’s for sure Cause I ain’t that girl anymore I’ve been workin’ hard to mind my P&Q’s I hurt myself just trying to do right by you So I ain’t going back Ain’t going back No my dear Cause I ain’t that girl anymore I’m a rich man’s daughter And a poor man’s slave I work real hard But I don’t get paid And all those clouds that I gather Won’t see me to my grave But I ain’t going down Ain’t going down No my dear Cause I ain’t that girl anymore Well darlin’ dear I think it’s clear That you don’t love me anymore Cause I ain’t that girl No I will never be That same girl No I ain’t that girl anymore

Lights go down in the city And nothing seems so pretty It seems like such a pity To feel lost In the city No reason to feel alone Come on and make your way home Cuz it’s been way too long And you know it’s where you belong East, North South, and West My home is still the best I’ve traveled near and far By plane and by car And as I play this old guitar The stars are calling me home It’s like a familiar melody The wind whistlin’ through the trees You feel the warmth of your family When you feel lost in the city And life don’t seem so pretty Just hum this little ditty You’ll escape and make your way home From the city Don’t be afraid to escape From the city

about

I treat these digital downloads like a tip-bucket. I know you have options to listen elsewhere in the world for virtually free, but I appreciate it all the same if you throw some in the virtual bucket. There are real hands that typed these words after all :)
