Hey Hey Charles
Swinging on a swoon ‘neath an old blue moon / ramblin’ off tall tales in the old saloon / keep dreaming that I see my baby coming home soon / been so long since I heard that song ‘bout the train rolling into the station at dawn / your baby on board heading East till he’s long gone / hey hey Charles pour me another / heard my baby’s gone off to roam / won’t be long till he finds another / so pour me another till my baby ‘cide to come on home / just my luck I found old Chuck / selling rye whiskey to earn a dirty old buck / trying to write something but lately he’s been out of touch / let’s bring it on back ‘cause we’re getting off track / break out two glasses and a bottle of jack / hold up the doors ‘till that old blue moon turns black / hey hey Charles pour me another / heard my baby’s gone off to roam / won’t be long till he finds another / so pour me another till my baby ‘cide to come on home / every time I see your ghost / it wears me down to the wire / what matters most / is how you walk through the fire.

I Can’t Stand to Hear You Talk
I can’t stand to hear you talkin on my name / ‘cause when you get to talkin it’s all the same / you’re spoutin off about my family / I can’t abide by it or let it be / I can’t stand to hear you talkin talkin / good lord you’re never gonna walk that walk / you got to creeping through my mind just like a brain disease / I’ve got to cut you on out so I can get some sleep / I can’t stand to hear you talkin talkin / good lord you’re never gonna walk that walk / so just put one foot in front of the other babe / and don’t you think to stall / soon you’ll see that you ain’t got the means to even get across / I can’t stand to hear you talk / I can’t stand it lord knows I can’t stand it I can’t stand to hear you talk / you’ve got swimming through my mind just like a fish in the sea / this ain’t no catch and release I’ve got to set you free

Sweet Soul Music
If you see him say hello from an old friend / can’t say if we’ll see his face again / tell him it gets mighty cold / travelin’ up that high road / if you see him say hello ‘till we meet again / last we heard he was hoping trains in Tennessee / changed his name cut his hair carved a heart on his sleeve / switched from cocaine to menthols / found a sweet woman with a Southern drawl / sold his guitar to buy her a diamond ring / searching for that sweet soul music gonna cure his blues / looking for that shining light gonna see him through / choir’s up ahead / they’re singing that same tune / oh let them voices carry you / last we heard she got married down in New Orleans / signed that paper day she turned 18 / left her hometown far behind / moved down past that County line / far away from her friends and family / searching for that sweet soul music gonna cure her blues / looking for that shining light gonna see her through / choir’s up ahead / they’re singing that same tune / oh let them voices carry you / searching for that sweet soul music / gonna cure your blues / looking for that shining light gonna see you through / long road up ahead / they’re singing those songs for you / oh let them voices carry you

Don’t Come Back Home
Well the East Coast is calling your name again but your heartstrings keep pulling you West / it don’t make sense to change your first name when your last doesn’t bring out your best / seems you like to drink just about anything / you’ll take whatever I leave behind / your Dad played the Blues and your Mom used to sing but you can’t make it past the first line / 3am’s coming around again / it’s got my heart lying dead on the floor / but something about ya’s got me thinking how it wasn’t wrong when you walked out that door / pretty darlin’ don’t you don’t you come back home / it’s not like me to let you be the last to know / so take a first class ticket from here / I don’t care where you go / pretty darlin’ don’t you come back home / a blank sheet of music on my bed stand babe is lulling me back to sleep / I’m thinking of words that I can sing to you but they’re just promises that I can’t keep / seems I like to dream just about anything / we had before you left me behind / now I can’t play the blues and I can’t sing a thing and I can’t get you off of my mind / 3am’s coming around again / it’s got my heart lying dead on the floor / but something about ya’s got me thinking how it wasn’t wrong when you walked out that door / pretty darlin’ don’t you don’t you come back home / it’s not like me to let you be the last to know / so take a first class ticket from here / I don’t care where you go / pretty darlin’ don’t you come back home

On the Line (Answer Me)
In my heart I know I can’t rely / on other people to get me by / I’ll tear my hair out / for all their lies / ain’t got no answers / got no replies / I’ve been stranded here / on the line/ been calling your number / about a thousand times / and other people they just can’t agree / on the weight and the value / to put on me / I keep my head up / maintain my pride / ain’t got no reasons to justify / I’ve been stranded here / in decline / should I call your number / just one more time / I’m calling, I’m calling / are you on the line / I’m calling I’m calling / this ain’t the first time / I’m calling, I’m calling / oh darling can’t you see / all I really need is you to answer me / oh won’t you answer me

Stumblin’
If I could stop my heart from stumblin' / over all these words you’re mumbling / I could keep these walls from crumbling all around / to look in your eyes is so humbling / well it starts my soul rumbling / and now here I go just tumbling to the ground / but I can’t turn back to my past like that it’s the same old song and dance / well the amps are blowing out and the music’s going down and I still ain’t had my chance / I thought I glimpsed at my salvation / but it just caused more frustration / closest thing to my damnation I have found / well i’m half a mile from Sunday / but I still have faith that one day you will turn to me and say you’ll stick around / but I can’t turn back to my past like that it’s the same old song and dance / well the amps are blowing out and the music’s going down and I still ain’t had my chance / we gave it time so many times now it’s time to try something new / ‘cause my last dance / just can’t be with you

My Side of Town
I don’t see you very often / but when I do it makes my day / I like the way you look into my eyes I like the things you have to say / I wish you’d come down / won’t you come on down / to my side of town / and we could sit and talk for hours / it’d be the evening before I blink / We won’t always agree but that’s okay with me because I love the way you think / I wish you’d come down / won’t you come on down / to my side of town / it all seems so easy to me that if I got just whatcha need / then please please please / come around to me /and if you came to that conclusion what a difference that would make / it wouldn’t just be dreams / it’d be reality and what a pair that we could make

Fake Flowers
Well you got fake flowers hanging in your window / and the breeze ain’t coming in / and I’ve got 1-2-3-4-5 ways to bring in the rain / your coffee makers busted and broken / and your tea kettles covered in rot / but I don’t need caffeine baby your kiss is an adrenaline shot / you’ve got me turning like a beat up clock / you’ve got me burning baby all down your block / you’ve got me turning and I don’t want to stop / your stove ticks and rattles in the morning / when you’re making eggs sunny-side up / and there’s 4 different kind of cracks in my coffee cup / your roofs been leaking all these raindrops / and the stains have been turning my mind / turns out all the clocks in your house been telling me the wrong time / you’ve got me turning like a beat up clock / you’ve got me burning baby all down your block / you’ve got me turning and I don’t want to stop / you got me tick tick tick tick tocking / each tick is louder than the one before / but I got news for you honey / it’s ticking so loud / you got me tick tock turning out your door / well you got cobwebs hanging from the ceiling / and got ants coming through in lines/ with his wallpaper peeling he’s giving you a sign / you’ve got me turning like a beat up clock / you’ve got me burning baby all down your block / you’ve got me turning and I don’t want to stop

Moonlit Drive
Strange days with a soft parade / I’m ridin’ in the rain / end of the night down love street people, might call it a strange time / for a moonlight, take a moonlight / let’s take a moonlit drive/ love her madly at least two times
/ waitin’ for the sun / she’s an unhappy girl and a wild child / she’ll bet you five to one / she’s an LA Woman, LA Woman / let’s take a moonlit drive / I’ll tell all the people that I see / I’ll take it as it comes / and when the music’s over / another blue Sunday comes / a blue Sunday, maybe one day / we’ll take a moonlit drive

While the Sun’s in Your Eyes
I’ve been trying to keep my conscience clean but no matter what I do it just bursts at the seams oh I been doing this for awhile / every morning when the sunrise breaks I be thinking to myself how much more can I take oh why does it continue to rise / your life will go by while the sun’s in your eyes / 5 years at the drop of a hat I’m still hitting some resistance trying to make my way back oh time ain’t been too kind / all the roads start looking the same I’ve been switching directions since the day that I came my eyes / my eyes are going blind / your life will go by while the sun’s in your eyes / so sit back and watch it all unwind / keep telling yourself you got so much time / you know you bought that ticket now you gotta take that ride/ i’ll see you on the other side / each night I take a shot at the moon / knowing this life will all be over soon oh I still got both feet on the ground / one day I’ll be digging my grave but up until then I’m wondering how can I save my soul my soul from going down

All the People I Know
All the people I know / they all smoke Marlboros / but i’m a Camel kid myself / I get my smokes on the top shelf / in the middle of the night / when everything’s not feeling right / I’ll smoke ‘em all of my life / Camel red lights / all this time since you left me lyin’ in this ditch / I been smokin’ like a chimney and drinking like a fish / take my coffee black with whiskey and put Stoli in my tea / but there’s just one smoke that’ll satisfy me / All the people I know / they all smoke Marlboros / but i’m a Camel kid myself / I get my smokes on the top shelf / in the middle of the night / when everything’s not feeling right / I’ll smoke ‘em all of my life / Camel red lights / I ain’t cool enough for menthols or classy enough for slims / got a backseat full of cowboys but i’ll never give in / they can threaten my life and they can raise the price / you better throw me a dime if you’re bummin' off mine /

Not in the morning but in the night / is when the good times come to light / not in the morning but in the night / is when the good times come to light / oh let ‘em shine on me / let it shine on me/ shine on me/ let it shine on me / and in the morning the break of day / before my headache goes away / and in the morning the break of day / before my headache goes away / oh let it shine on me / let it shine on me/ shine on me/ let it shine on me / I’m waiting for the time / we can have some piece of mind / won’t you shine your light on me / and I’ll be first and last / waiting in the cold for the time to pass / won’t you shine your light on me / and I keep leaning in the evenings / when the good times start repeating / yeah I’ll be leaning in the evenings / when the good times start repeating / oh let ‘em shine on me / let it shine on me/ shine on me/ let it shine
