Here Tonight 04:12
You were walking with no shoes on your feet Just getting your toes dirty skipping stones on the lake And I did not cry 'til you wandered away Now you're hiding with a shameful soul And child what ya done Sent shivers through your bones Now that you've seen all the dirt on your toes You don't know where to go or where to run So come find me in a mountain stream To cool your bones and bring your peace If your burdened soul can't find the morning light I'm here tonight You're gonna stumble until you're knee-deep in the water with your chest heaving and those tears on your face have been blaming me But I'm clean and you're clean Though ya don't feel your soul or see the son... Come find me in a mountain stream To cool your bones and bring your peace I your burdened soul can't find the morning light I'm here tonight Come find me, come find me I'll set your mind at ease Your aching soul, is gonna make it home That's one thing I believe Come on back home It's gonna be alright These open arms are a welcome sight If your burdened soul can't find the morning light I'm here tonight

He wanna be somebody, he wanna build a corporation on the moon He wants to be the president He wants to be something they won't forget, like Another hundred-million dollar man With a leather brief case and a california tan He breathes in takes off his Ray-Bans says "Listen to me baby, Imma count down from 10, 9, 8, I'm alright late for my blue tooth rendezvous that just can't wait, but Keep giving your love to baby cause 10 seconds won't change it, okay?" She got your love, if you want it come on But if ya don't, then let go man, let go man, 'cause She got much more than you ever deserved So if ya don't mind the honey-moon's over, let go So I can hold her She's got a whole lotta love to give but he's been busy, and he don't miss her now He never has, since they met But that's one fact, she tried to forget 'cause She wants to be loved But the only love she knows comes without any clothes on And she sees what it's like on T.V. And she says, "Why am I so unhappy?" She breathes and she counts to ten But when she opens her eyes he's gone again No more waiting, like ten more years gonna change it okay? She got your love, if you want it come on But if ya don't, then let go man, let go man, 'cause She got much more than you ever deserved So if ya don't mind, the honey-moon's over, let go So I can hold her I can hold her, when the sun sets When it goes down, when it goes down I can hold her, when the sun rise and you're not around, and you're not around She had your love, but you had another lover And I won't, man I won't be afraid to say She had much more than you ever deserved So if ya don't mind, the honey-moon's over, let go So I can hold her

Sister 04:10
Take you out for supper We had too much conversation for the evening I dare say Talking of the old house and backyard tumbling, we were dreaming of better days I got a friend, got a whole lot of what I don't got It's what I need A friend, with a whole shot of love Take me home, and bring me back Take me home, down on Ramcat Down on Ramcat, Oh sister Taking older memories and just sticking em in scrapbooks in the corner on the shelf Thinking how we used to laugh together 'cause of something, I still can't tell I got a friend, got a whole lot of what I don't got It's what I need A friend, with a whole shot of love Talk of what we laughed of 'til we cried to asleep I got a friend, got a whole lot of what I don't got It's what I need A friend, with a whole shot of love Take me home, and bring me back Take me home, down on Ramcat Down on Ramcat, Oh sister Thank you for the supper we had too much conversation for the evening I dare say

Monopoly 02:41
Baby you've got a monopoly on my heart I can't see straight and you've got all of the utilities, electricity I got a fist full of nothing with no capabilities You're holding Boardwalk, Pacific Avenue I got a cardboard box and some raggedy tennis shoes (I thought that you should know) Just give me a chance so I can pass go I can't win, when you're playing your games I can't win when you wait the dice and play your hands that way I can't win, when you're playing your games baby, baby come on Hold up, wait a minute Baby, Tisk, tisk What's that? I didn't mean it! Get out! Whoa... Hold up, Wait. Baby, Tisk, tisk What's that? I didn't mean it! Get out! Whoa... I can't win, when you're playing your games I can't win when you wait the dice and play your hands that way I can't win, when you're playing your games baby, baby come on I know sorry doesn't cut it so I'm not I know there's no 'buts' but you've got Tricks up your sleeve From your socks, To your legs From your dress to your knees to your Eyes can't win, when you're playing your games I can't win when you wait the dice and play your hands that way I can't win, when you're playing your games baby, baby come on

Moses 04:14
The river's rising, the sunlight's fading The crocodile looking for a little baby He's in a basket, staring at the moon Lord keep him safe from the river's tomb Little Moses floated down that stream They fished him out, of the grasses and the weeds They took him in and I heard his cry He didn't wanna leave his momma's side, he said I don't wanna be the only one Lord, I don't wanna be the only one Now I aint scared of tomorrow's sun But I don't wanna be the only one No! Lord you know it aint me that ya need I'm just a baby that they found in the weeds You free your people with your own hands there's got to be another man you can 'Cause I don't wanna be the only one Lord, I don't wanna be the only one I aint scared of tomorrow's sun But I don't wanna be the only one No! No, no no no no No no no no, no no No, no no no no no no no no No But Father if you're gonna stay with me like when you saved me from the river's beasts these filthy hands can work for you Lord I can try, what you asked me to But I don't wanna be the only one

Kings 03:39
We used to be kings, with no filth and no scum we were brighter than violet and sharper than steel until you came along And you came like hell. Oh you ravaged and raged Against all that we loved, against all that we cherished, and all that we praised And I’m through yeah I’m through being your slave We used to be fine, we were feeling alright We had people to love, and we loved everyone every day every night But I’m holding you close, so close to my soul If you think things are fine well you better rewind cause I think your alone And I’m through yeah I’m through You know I'm through yeah I'm through being your slave In the springtime we sang, we had more than enough It was you, it was me, and our God he made three and we knew we were loved But after the fall, well we’re losing our faith Cause it’s cold and it’s painful I feel all my chains when I’m trapped in this place You know I’m through yeah I’m through You know I'm through yeah I'm through being your slave

Doctor 04:02
Well I had a physician, she barely knew my name and who’d have guessed, that flowery dress could bloom such a pretty face Well I’m not one to mix up, where ya work and where ya play But ya better bet, I was sick to death, from January until first of May I said, Tear me open and stitch me shut But doctor don’t ya see That this ol fever’s gonna burn me up if you don’t attend to me Well I listed my symptoms but she saw, through it all ‘Said “it’s allergies that make you sneeze, and the cough is just a cough Yeah the only thing that’s wrong with you, is too much alcohol...” So I ran home and grabbed the phone and I gave her another call I said, Tear me open and stitch me shut But doctor don’t ya see That this ol fever’s been burning me up since you laid hands on me Cause I been sick, since I first saw you and now I can barely breathe with this ol fever just burning me up And miss doctor you’re just what I need so would you stay with me aw if you're free would you stay with me? come on baby please? would you stay with me? So she ran her tests and I did my best not to sneak a couple of peeks But I lost my sight in those big green eyes, And can ya really blame me Cause that golden hair was made to wear a wild flower threaded through So on the first of may I asked her to stay, and be my month of june I said tear me open and stitch me shut But baby don't ya see That this 'ol fever’s been burning me up Since you laid hands on me Cause I been sick, since I first saw you and now I can barely breathe with this ol fever just burning me up miss doctor, you’re just what I need So would you stay with me
