My Man
03:00

|
My man he's like a blanket warm.
My man he's like a blanket warm.
Wrapped up tight, he keeps me from the cold.
My man he's like a feather bed.
My man he's like a feather bed.
He gives me comfort and a place to lay my head.
He's a part of me just like my blood and bones.
He's a part of me just like my blood and bones.
His sweet loving' satisfies me so.
My man he's like a rockin' chair.
My man he's like a rocking' chair.
When he rocks me slow he rocks away all my cares.

A Brand New Place
03:12

CHORUS:
Got to look around and find a brand new place.
No ones heard my voice or seen my face.
No one knows who I am or who I will be.
I’m running fast, I’m running hard.
Got a bad case of blue chasing me.
Got no job they shut the place down.
Packed the factory up took it out of town.
And I got no way of making good.
Running fast, running hard.
Can’t outrun these no work blues.
My brand new job don’t pay like it should.
Minimum wage it ain’t no good.
Bosses’ bonus getting bigger every year.
While the middle class just disappears.
Running fast, running hard.
Can’t outrun these no wage blues.
The rich get rich, the poor stay poor.
Pack the poor child up and send them off to war.
The poor child put them on the front line.
While we all stay at home parting and doing fine.

I Need a Lot of Money
02:15
|
|||
|
It's a bad old world bound to get you down.
It's a bad old world bound to get you down.
I need a beer, I need some blues, gonna head to town.
I work hard I've got to make my pay.
I work hard I've got to make my pay.
Gonna need a lot of money to go out and play.
I like my blues on a National Steel guitar.
I like my blues on a National Steel guitar.
Smokin' cigarrets and drinkin' in my best friends bar.
I get sad and I get crazy to.
I get sad and I get crazy to.
It's gonna get a little better when I play some blues.

Second Best
05:08
|
|||
|
The suns gone down and I can hear you knocking.
You come through that door and take me in your arms
.
And we lie and we love until the morning light comes shining,
Then you walk out my door like you ain't coming back no more.
Chorus:
What makes a man hold you in his arms and walk away?
What makes a woman want to play the games he plays?
Why do I find myself settling for second best?
Maybe it's the way he can ease my mind and put my weary soul to rest.
You take me in your arms, you wash my silence away.
I find myself wishing, wishing that you would stay.
But just when I'm longing for some good times outside my bed.
You kiss me goodbye and down the road you head.

Dancin' Shoes
02:49
|
|||
|
Chorus:
I would go bowlin’ but I got on my dancin’ shoes.
I would go bowlin’ but I got on my dancin’ shoes.
It’s a sign from God, dancin’s what I’m meant to do.
I have had more good than I’ve got bad.
I got more happy than I got sad.
I got more joy than I got bad.
She saw Jesus face in a piece of bread.
The baker cluched his heart, she kick over dead.
You can buy that savior,
EBay will take your bid.
Sun’s gonna shine and the rain is gonna pour.
Midnight moonlite on my kitchen floor.
You never know what you’ll find,
When you open up your door.
I fly so high, got my head in the clouds.
I fly so high, you can’t shoot me down.
I move so fast
I travel at the speed of sound.

Real Good Time
02:44
|
|||
|
My first love left
you know it was killing me.
My first love left
you know it was killing me.
Mama said don't you cry girl
there's lots of fish in the sea.
Why do you make one mad
when you can make so many smile.
Why do you make one mad
when you can make so many smile.
A fisherman needs patience
and a good man will come around.
My man's been cheating
and he ain't got the sense to go.
My man's been cheating
and he ain't got the sense to go.
I'm gonna pack him up.
I'm gonna drive him from my home.
I'm gonna bait my hook
go out and set my line.
I'm gonna bait my hook
go out and set my line.
I'm going fishing boys,
I'm looking for a real good time.

Drinkin' Man Blues
03:00
|
|||
|
My man’s six hours late, comes home three sheets to the wind.
My man’s six hours late, comes home three sheets to the wind.
He’s walking through my front door, wearing his drinkin’ grin.
I send him out for bread, he comes home with a buzz.
I send him out for bread, he comes home with a buzz.
He’s been down at Brenda’s bar now, doing like he always does.
REFRAIN
Ain’t it a shame the way he drinks that gin,
They drag him off the street and get him loaded again.
He ain’t to blame, he’s such a charmin’ soul,
They always buy him one more before he comes home.
You think I could trust him to go get my mail.
You think I could trust him to go get my mail.
He’s making one call, lord he’s making it from jail.

Goodbye Party
03:00
|
|||
|
My man he left me.
He left me all alone.
He didn’t say it to my face
He called me on my telephone.
I’ll play some blues tonight.
I don’t want to go home.
I’m feeling confined.
Feeling like I got to run.
I’m feeling confined.
Feeling like I got to run.
I said go ahead and leave me
You no good son of a gun.
I’ll play some blues tonight
My parties just begun.
I’m gonna drink some beer
Dance until I can’t go.
I’m gonna drink some beer
Dance until I can’t go.
I’ll play some blues tonight
and boogie until the cows come home.
You can go ahead and leave me.
You just watch what I do.
You can go ahead and leave me.
You just watch what I do.
I’ll play some blues tonight.
I’ll throw a goodbye party for you.

Loves Lullaby
02:51
|
|||
|
An evening star hangs on a crescent moon.
Warm breeze blowing.
Midnight in June.
He whispers, she sighs.
Loves lullaby.
He reaches out for the one he needs.
Across the space in the dark
Where lovers meet.
He whisper, she sighs.
Loves lullaby.
Lullaby, goodnight.
Lullaby, in the pale mooon light.
Lullaby, we’re gonna hold on tight.
He whispers, she sighs.
Loves lullaby.
He whispers, she sighs.
Loves lullaby.
