Bad at Being Good
V1:
I didn’t get to bed last night,
Until the sun was shining bright.
Baby, it don’t make it right,
Don’t let me sleep in the cold tonight.
Chorus:
Well, I’m bad at being good,
I tried the best that I could.
But I love you that’s understood.
Just had at being good,
I’m bad at being good.
V2:
I knowI said I’ll Change,
But baby wild horses can’t be tamed.
Don’t wanna stay the same,
Don’t let me sleep out in the rain.
Chorus
V3:
I said I’m no good, baby.
But you love me just the same.
And I don’t mean maybe,
Let me sleep with you tonight baby.
Chorus

On My Way

V1:
On My Way
Walk through the deserts of my mind.
Mouth dry as sand, hot as the sun.
Life withers in front of my eyes,
And rain like torpedoes fall from the sky.
Chorus:
V2:
And I’m on my way...
On my way back home to you.
Yes, I’m on my way!
On my way back home to you...t0 you.
Driving through the fog, towards the light.
Past the strange creatures of the night.
A hopeless cause just to cross a line,
A saving grace in the nick 0ftime.
Chorus
V3:
Flying high, big City, bright lights
I’ve never lived life without a fight.
And life’s a periscope into another time.
And I’ll know when it’s mine...

Think Too Much
03:20
|
|||
|
Well, I think I think too much,
And I don’t know why.
And I thinkI drink too much,
I can’t be satisfied.
When I get home and I sleep in my bed,
Ain’t nobody for me.
I grab my guitar and I play a tune.
It’s the only thing true to me.
Cause I know,
Lord, I know.
Ain’t no good lovin’ for me.
Ain’t nobody gonna hold me down.
I gotta be free!
You know, baby, I ain’t playing no games,
But I play to win.
My last girl she was two-timing me,
Don’t think I’ll see her again.
But then I think I think too much,
So here we go again.
I think I’ll have another drink,
So, pass that bottle, friend.

Bad Water
04:34
|
|||
|
Went down to the water,
On my knees to pray.
That dirty damned water,
Took my soul away.
Bad Water. x4
Bad water let me be,
Took my soul away from me.
Drown my sorrows,
Way down in the water so deep.
Bad water gonna get my soul.
Oh, bad water, gonna get my soul.
Gonna get my, gonna get my, gonna get my soul.
Bad water let me be,
Give my soul back to me.
I’ll go down in the water below.
Way down to fetch my soul.
Bad water, had water.
Gonna get my soul.
Bad water, had water.
Gonna get my soul.
Sometimes you just can’t walk away...

The Wheel

The wheel it goes round,
My how life takes you for a ride.
No where to be found,
Life will take you by the hand.
Wisdom will guide you,
If you just take the time to understand.
And you’ll know where you go.
Your light will always show.
You’ll be tried but true.
Cause in the end only you can save you.
No matter where life takes you.
Always know your work will follow where you go.
So, care for one another,
And always let your love show.

Rest of My Days
04:57
|
|||
|
Going down South, traveling down that road again.
Just a-wondering, ifI can make it home again.
Without the worry of anybody troubling me,
Cause I can’t seem to stay on that narrow street.
And it seems like this road’s getting longer again,
I’m just glad that I’m traveling down this road with my friends.
Cause I woke up this morning to a beautiful new day,
And I’m thankful for everything that I’ve prayed.
Like my good friends, and a nice place to stay.
I just wanna be happy the rest of my days.
So, I guess I’ll travel down this road ‘til I’m dead.
Cause there’s a lot of things I gotta do,
Before I can rest.
And I just can’t get this dream outta my head,
Someday people will hear all these words that I’ve said.
Just take them to heart,
Cause I also bleed red.
I just hope that you’re touched by the words that I’ve said.

V1:
The seasons are Changing,
Like the lines in my face.
The color of the leaves,
Distract you from aging grace.
Chorus:
As I grow older, the world gets colder.
And all I have is you.
V2:
I watch time fade.
As the hand of time gently slips away.
All that I am is with you.
Til the dusk falls on my final day.
Chorus

Something for Me
03:55
|
|||
|
It’s been two years, baby, and nothing seemed to Change.
All the tears I cried, baby, everything just stayed the same.
But I know, when you do,
When you stop, when you’re through.
Baby, you do something for me.
When I hold you in my arms so tight,
Ain’t worried about doing nothing wrong or doing right.
When we’re together, you take the lead.
You feel me sweat, you know I’d bleed.
Baby, you do something for me.
When we sleep intertwined.
I taste your skin, lips like wine.
You made me stop. You made me think.
You took my breath with just one wink.
Baby, you do something for me.
Oh, baby you put my soul to ease.

Diamonds
03:40
|

|
I don’t know what to say anymore,
So, I sing it in a song.
And when I’m dead don’t bury me,
Scatter me back to Arkansas.
There’s a man packing his things,
Greener pastures down the road.
No direction in his sight,
Just the dream of being home
So, with a few dollars & a big jug of wine.
Gonna catch a train.
Cause this dollar ain’t waiting on a dime.
Chorus:
Don’t tell me I’m dreaming,
I won’t tell you goodbye.
You gotta better Chance of getting hit by lightning.
Than seeing diamonds fall from the sky.
Bridge/Outro:
So, I’ll keep on lookin’,
for those diamonds to come raining down.
IfI don’t see them,
Then you know that I’m gonna turn back around.
Oh, yea gonna turn back around.
Turn back around!
I’m gonna turn back around! X2

Coming Home

|
Lord, it’s been too long since I’ve been home.
I’ve been out Chasing dreams on this lonely road.
And when I get back from my roam,
I’m gonna hold my baby and tell her I love her so.
Pre-Chorus:
I’ve been 600 miles, I got 900 more to go,
That’s the story of life on the road.
A faceless crowd in a nameless place,
Lord, I gotta get back before I break.
Chorus:
Because I’m coming home, I’m coming home,
I’m coming back home to you.
Every king didn’t have anything without his queen.
So, say goodbye baby to the miles in between,
Cause tomorrow it’ll feel just like a dream.
Because I’m coming home...
V2:
I’ve been some places,
I’ve seen a few things.
Laughed a whole lot,
I’ve shared my dreams.
But now I’m ready for whatever life may bring,
Cause living in a suitcase, you’re ready for anything.
Pre-Chorus
