La Da Da
02:07

You’re on my mind you’re all I see
Your sweet sweet smile I wanna be between your knees
You’re so beautiful but so far away I wanna hear your voice I need to touch your face
But I’m stuck here sittin’ all alone I need to call you up and sing into the phone
Chorus:
La da da
You’re so relentless the way you charm
You ain’t a city girl you ain’t down on the farm
You’re complicated and you suit me right from the bottom of your feet to the white of your eyes
Your sweet love is all I need sometimes you follow and sometimes you lead
Chorus
We come together like the day and the night
Make up with a kiss right after a fight
You got me rolling like a wheel down a hill
And after all these years I love you still
You’ve seen me laugh and you’ve seen me cry
I hope you’re with me ‘til the day that I die
Chorus

Back Door Man
02:13
|

Tried to be your back door man
Oh, but you pushed me away
Tried to be your back door man
Love you every night and every day
We had a good thing goin’ but now you’ve got nothin’ to say
Tried to be your back door man
Yeah, your lovin’ can’t be beat
Tried to be your back door man
‘Cause your words were so sweet
But now there’s a cold wind blowin’
Baby I miss your heat
You said that you loved me but you kept me at arm’s length
When you don’t answer your phone I don’t know what to think
You said that you loved me now I’m feelin’ so low
Now you won’t talk to me well I guess you let me go
Tried to be your back door man
But you found another friend
Tried to be your back door man
I guess your love has come to an end
And I think I’ll just break down if I see you
Or maybe I’ll just bend
Baby if I see you again I think I’ll just break down
Maybe I’ll just bend

Tarnation
02:11
|
|||
What in tarnation am I doin’ here
Grindin’ up this this steep hill stuck in my first gear
Got a bit of headwind and I got a big ‘ole load
Another mile like this and I think I will explode
Chorus:
What in tarnation am I doin’ here
Should be at home drinkin’ down a beer
Drinkin’ drinkin’ drinkin’ down a beer
What in tarnation am I doin’ here
It’s 95 degrees and it smells like rotting deer
The sun’s about to blind me and about to bake my brain
An ice cream and a Gatorade just might save the day
Chorus
Oh it’s a sign that my shirt is white with salt
Oh it’s a sign writ in the molten asphalt
I need to stop and hide away in the shade
And then find a creek to jump in and just stay for the day
Chorus

A Man And His Truck
02:28
|
|||
Sweat dryin’ off my brow after a long hard day
Ridin’ in the back of my daddy’s truck was my bonus pay
I was 12 earnin’ my keep, workin’ at my old man’s side
His only son the twinkle in his eye I was his joy and pride
Kickin’ up dust on those old back roads
I feel like a king
A man and his truck
It’s a beautiful thing
When I turned 16 I got my license and my first real date
My daddy lent me his old 150 he said “Don’t get ‘er home late”
I promised to be a gentleman he put the keys in my hand
Truckin’ down them old dirt roads I was drivin’ like a man
Behind the wheel of that old Ford
I felt like a king
A man and his truck
It’s a beautiful thing
Now I’ve grown a little bit older got a wife and a kid
And I just wanna do as good a job as my old daddy did
With a fear of god and a love of trucks as my only guide
Rollin’ along in my 4x4 heaven with my boy at my side
Kickin’ up dust on those old back roads
I feel like a king
A man and his truck
It’s a beautiful thing

It’s where old limousines all go to die
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
Had a little bit too much to drink and I’m too drunk to drive
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
Driver it’s on the way can we stop at the liquor store
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
Can’t find the handle to open this god damn door
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
I’ve got the money to go ‘round one more time
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
Gotta find my honey gotta make her mine
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
Driver do you want a drink I got just one to spare
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE
Alright then suit yourself here’s your tip and fare
Hillbilly taxi 594-RIDE

Everything
03:00

You got something to say let’s hear it
You got somewhere to go I’ll take you
You got something to play I’ll sing it
And you just gotta know I’ll tell you everything
I’ll tell you everything
Chorus:
I wanna be your everthing
You want something to read I’ll write it
You want someone to love I’ll be him
You want something to see I’ll show you
And you just gotta try I’ll be your right hand man
I’ll be your right hand man

Born Again
03:18
|
|||
You you are you are my sweetness
You you are you are my hunger
You you are you are the one that I’m missin’
You your face and voice are seared into my brain
I cannot explain why you are still my strongest desire
Chorus:
And you you make me feel like I’ve been born again
You I want to feel your weight and you I want to hear your breath
And you I want time to pass so I can see you
You your heat guides my body and when you call I answer with my blood
And I can feel your voice and I can taste your pulse
Chorus
Oh my lonely lover how we’re aching for each other
Oh my lonely lover how your softness calls to me
You you are you are my sweetness
You you are you are my hunger
You you are you are the one that I’m missin’
Chorus

I Don't Wanna Get Up
03:11
|
|||
I don’t wanna get up but I know that I got to
I’ve had this on my mind all night
Dreamin’ frustration under the cover
Need to figure out a way to make it alright
It’s so hard just to get into motion
Getting vertical is a ritual fight
Alarm clock yellin’ there’s no time for sleepin’
Open your eyes get out of my sight
Chorus:
I’m feelin’ so down its no consolation
To speak my mind to search and find
Feelin’ so down need a liberation
From all these things weighin’ on my mind
I don’t wanna get up but I know that I got to
Useless dread won’t leave me alone
Livin’ in my head instead of the moment
I can’t sing I can only moan ‘cause
Chorus
I don’t wanna get up but I know that I got to
I’ve had this shit on my mind all night
Dreamin’ frustration under the cover
Need to figure out a way to make it alright
Chorus

God Doesn't Work
02:11
|
|||
They say God works in mysterious ways
The rape and the murder and the hurricanes
They say God is love so what’s with all the hate
The injustice and the war and unfortunate fates
They tell me every little thing happens for a reason
Disease and the accidents and cruelest treasons
They say God speaks but its only people talkin’
Make up a myth write it down and then hoc it
They say God works in mysterious ways
But it’s plain to see that God doesn’t work
Beauty freedom art and love is what we need
There ain’t no devil in the dirt and God doesn’t work no
The desperate the gullible and undereducated
A coping mechanism for the hurt and the hated
The scared and the damaged and the plain old superstitious
They fear reality and make a world of their wishes
Who needs religion and who needs vows
When heaven and hell are right here right now
There’s a world full of pleasure and a world full of pain
There are people to praise and people to blame
They say God works in mysterious ways
But it’s plain to see that God doesn’t work
Logic and kindness is what we need
There ain’t no devil in the dirt and God doesn’t work no

Morio Bay
03:30
|
|||
Coolio let’s see who’s quick
Howlin’ with the potcakes here in the sticks
Layin’ down the drums and layin’ down the bass
I flex my brain and I rest my case
Gotta move on find a different view
On my knees for no one turn my back on the pew
Blowin’ on the breeze in a tropical state
I don’t break the lock I just jump the gate
Breakin’ my strings with the LP licks
Roundwound 11’s with medium picks
Rock n roll heart and a hip hop face
Every beat is precious nothing goes to waste
You say it’s your birthday yeah it’s my birthday too
So let’s celebrate the old and celebrate the new
Nobody can catch us we don’t take the bait
We’re clear as the water and sweet as a date
Chorus:
Sun is shinin’ down wind is blowin’ round Morio Bay
Sun is shinin’ down
Finding buried treasure digging in sand I’m missin’ my people and I’m missin’ my band
Tough as a coconut flyin’ like a ray from the Man-o-war sound to the Calabash Bay
Everybody’s real cool ‘til they get in a car
Island time is cancelled gotta get real far
Call Mr. Richter ‘cause there’s gonna be a quake
A little Fresh Creek bump and little rake and scrape
Chorus
