LYRICS
Tell me How much more can I take Tell me Maybe it’s just too late
Tell me Where were you tonight Tell me In the morning light
You know I know you know Things aren’t going right
You’ve been who knows where You’re Not Playin’ Fair
Please don’t Do what you do no more Please don’t Drive my knees to the floor
Please don’t Say that you’re walkin’ away I’d do anything to make you stay with me
You know I know you know Things aren’t going right
It’s plain you just don’t care You’re Not Playin’ Fair
I can’t see you leave dressed that way I can’t believe one word that you say
Don’t you know you’re breakin’ me Can’t you Find one good reason to stay with me
You know that I know that you know Things aren’t going right
You’ve been with someone somewhere You’re Not Playin’ Fair
You’ve been who knows where You’re Not Playin’ Fair
It’s plain you just don’t care You’re Not Playin’ Fair
You’re Not Playin’ Fair
You’re Not Playin’ Fair
You’re Not Playin’ Fair

Under Your Thumb

LYRICS
I fell in love the first time I saw you, you looked so good to me
When you started walkin’ my way, I thought an angel must be watchin’ over me
We had so much in common you and I, We felt so young and free
We had everything going baby, at least that’s the way that it looked to me
You got restless, you left your mark, Now all I know is I’m alone in the dark uh uh
I thought no problem, I’ll live my own life, I don’t really need you
I had my heart broken before this feelin, ain’t nothin’ new
So I went me own way, the blind leading the blind
I never knew your hurtin’ ways were followin’ so close behind
You caught me, you grabbed me, It felt so fine
I wiggled like the fish on the proverbial line
I thought Hot Damn, here we go again, I’ll get it right this time
I thought I knew all the things I screwed up before, I thought I saw the shining light
But it wasn’t me, no it was you that the situation so uptight
Once again you’re on that midnight train, speeding out of my life
One, two, three, I’ll count to ten and I’ll start my life all over again
A couple years passed I got on with my life, I finally got it together
Then I saw you at a place we used to go, you could have knocked me over with a feather
You said, “Hello Baby I missed you so”, my silly heart skipped a beat
Then I looked down, at the ground, I said “You better get movin’ feet”
I may be crazy but I ain’t dumb, you’ll never again get me Under Your Thumb
I thought I was in love the first time I saw you, you looked so good to me
But now I know when you started walkin’ my way, it was the devil that was lookin’ over me
You certainly weren’t good for me and now I know that it’s true
Elegant looks and a curvy body sometime comes with the blues
I may be crazy but I ain’t dumb, you’ll never again get me Under Your Thumb
I may be crazy but I ain’t dumb, you’ll never again get me Under Your Thumb

Lonely For You

LYRICS
The weather has changed where have you gone did a cold wind drive you away
Was it the heat of the moment careless words spoken that turned your heart numb and afraid?
There once was a passion an intense driving force impossible to be broken down
But the castle has crumbled I’m trapped underneath crushed by the fear of it all
We live together the distance is great I reach out but I cannot touch
Your scent drifts to me an elusive embrace flooding my mind with emotion
Once again to be close no space in between I long for the feeling again
I feel like I’m dead the thoughts in my head spin like a whirlwind of pain
A warm summer day can’t thaw you’re frozen heart the winter wind rages inside
The flowers have died choked by the frost I only have myself to blame
How can you be so close yet so far away the situation is killing us both
It comes down to this as I long for your kiss to once again feel your embrace
I’m Lonely for you, you’re too close to touch I’m Lonely, so Lonely for You
Alone in this room you’re sitting there your mind and heart at a distance somewhere
Touch me inside with the feelings you hide I know the love is still there
Can’t change the past look to the future how has it come down to this
Apart’s not the answer for two so in love resurrect what has always been there
Too many times bad judgment ruled how could it have seemed make sense
Emotions unchained who is to blame does it all come down to just one
Feeling mistreated used and ignored it built up over so many years
Is it too late has love turned to hate there’s only one thing that I know
I’m Lonely for you, you’re too close to touch I’m Lonely, so Lonely for You

Messed Up and Twisted

LYRICS
Messed up and twisted don’t know what’s comin’ next
Messed up and twisted my future is just a guess
When you turned around and smiled my heart stopped for a while
Didn’t know what to say I couldn't speak anyway
I watched as you turned and walked away just a fool in daze
Messed up and twisted my heart was beating fast
Messed up and twisted had to catch up to the past
Thought that I was strong time had proved me wrong
Nothing I could do so I walked away from you
Just a fool left alone with his blues still loving you
So I decided there and then wouldn’t let you get away again
Couldn't let this opportunity pass me by
Didn't want to be a fool and miss a second chance with you
I did what I had to do so I chased after you
Messed up and twisted I need you back in my arms once more
Messed up and twisted scared and uncertain just like before
So I had to get it straight hoping that it’s not too late
Turned in your direction not contemplating rejection
I just knew I wanted you back with me for the rest of my life
You stopped to turn and look my legs trembled and my body shook
shocked that this moment has arrived
Saw the twinkle in your eyes my blood pressure started to rise
I knew right then we'd be together once more
Messed up and twisted that's just a feeling in the past
Messed up and twisted feeling great back together at last
Gone is the confusion No more bad dreams and illusions
Finally got the plan worked out makes want to jump and shout
And dance away the rest of my life with you

LYRICS
It’s time please stay away from me I need to get away from you
‘Cause you won’t stop until you’re through
And I can’t stand the hurt no more
I felt I could always count on you I never thought you’d be untrue
Now I see the things you do
Something inside of me just died
No wait stop don’t walk away That’s not what I meant to say
I couldn’t bear to spend one day without you
My heart will have to deal with the things you do
I feel less a man today Could you just go away
Deep inside I’m so afraid I won’t have the courage to walk away
Why did you tell me it was love When all it was to you was fun
To watch me sink down to the floor
I would leave if I could just get my feet to move
I didn’t mean it forget what I said My heart makes craziness inside my head
My mind will just have to learn to turn away
I’ll do anything to make you stay
You have knocked me down but I can’t feel the ground
Only the emptiness inside
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
Don’t worry I’ll get by
I’ll just sit alone and cry

LYRICS
Do you remember when you and I swore that we’d never tell a lie
I guess we just didn’t know
For a while everything was fine Then the clouds hid the warm sunshine
And we hurt each other so
Chorus:
I know we can be the way we were back then There must be a way for us to understand
That Things Don’t Have To Be This Way
Hold on to each other like we used to Chase away the fears and dry the tears
‘Cause Things Don’t Have To Be This Way
It’s hard to see things from the other side We all have feelings we want to hide
And it hurts the one that we love most
I’ll take the blame it was mostly me But for some reason you couldn’t see
The hurt I had deep inside
It’s really strange how people change as the years go by
I guess that’s the way life goes
I can bring back the man you used to love it won’t be easy but it can be done
I know ‘cause our love is still strong

LYRICS
I’m callin’ long distance, Baby ‘Cause I’m already Missin’ You
Just wanted to talk hear your sweet voice that’s what I needed to do
You said don’t worry Darlin’ I’ll always be here That sounds good I know that it’s true
But every day that I’m away I’m always thinking of you
It doesn’t matter what you say I can do I always get the blues
I’m still Missin’ You I’m still Missin’ You
Hearin’ your voice always seems to soothe my lonely mind
Everytime I go nothing has changed I always seem to find
I picture your face remember your warm embrace I want to be there holding you
I don't mind being alone but not lonely for you It makes me feel like a fool
It doesn’t matter what you say I can do I always get the blues
I’m still Missin’ You I’m still Missin’ You
I’m a thousand miles away from you a thousand miles away from my home
When I’m wandering out in the great wild spaces I like being alone
I'm sittin' here in this cabin in the woods with my guitar in my hands
Every song I play I play for you maybe I should have made other plans
I've got to find my way back you quit playin' these sad sad tunes
I’m still Missin’ You I’m still Missin’ You
I've got to find my way back you quit playin' these sad sad tunes
I’m still Missin’ You I’m still Missin’ You
I’m still Missin’ You I’m still Missin’ You

It’d been a long time since I seen you but I loved you all a---- long It had been a------long time since I held you
but I loved you all a-------long I knew one day that I’d have you little darlin’ one way or another right or wrong
Put your arms ‘round me then just hold me do all those things that I love you to do I said put your arms around me tell me how much you love me too I feel heat and chills all over cause I got Nothin’ But Love For You
Tremblin’ arms that long to hold you quiverin’ lips that need to kiss I can’t help this feelin’ that I’m feelin’ when I hold you just like this that is the reason I ’ve Got Nothin’ But Love for you
When I first began to love you I never thought that I’d lose control and now days when I’m with you still got a feelin’ I’m outta control I’m in Heaven and Hell at the same got me so mixed up don’t know which way to go
I think it’s time that we finally did what we always wanted to do I think it’s high time that we finally did what we always wanted to do We need to spend our lives together cause I’ve got Nothin, Nothin’ But Love for you

She's Gone
05:18

LYRICS
Sittin on the porch midnight has long passed A bottle of Jack at my side
The full moon casts purple shadows around me There's a bite in the crisp mountain night
Smoke from my cigar mingles with warm breath as it freezes and drifts to the stars
All alone my minds flooded with tortured old memories Ever since she walked out of my life
My best friends are only my demons whiskey and six silver strings
Searchin for something that will forever elude me I only have myself to blame
She tried to tell me She said I'd be sorry Her words cast aside by a fool
I chose not to listen thought I knew better A foolish perception its true
She said that she loved me like no one before in spite of my renegade ways
Her heart cried real teardrops trying to stand by a man who could never be tamed
My best friends are only my demons whiskey and six silver strings
Beat down and broken by the choices I've chosen I only have myself to blame
In the middle of nowhere a sad excuse for a man Alone with my bourbon and blues
Selfish and certain that I always knew better Never crossed my mind that I could lose
There on my left on a stand made of pine rests my flat top Gibson guitar
Offering peace to my mind as I gently caress it only sad songs drift from my heart
Now I live all alone with my demons wishing I could bring back old times
I drown all my sorrows in whiskey and sad songs broken and too weak to cry

The Last time
06:05
|

LYRICS
My hair is turning gray shows how time has passed away
Changes are coming different every day
It frightens me to realize though I finally see things clear
Those days may be over I have to face my fears
Never thought it would come to this that I couldn’t make the grade
I feel the changes in my body I can’t help but be afraid
As I look out over rugged peaks Looking back on the days I’m counting
The journeys I’ve taken amazed at all that I saw standin’ on top of a mountain
There’s emotions inside I’m trying to hide I can barely breathe
In the thin mountain air I’m contemplating as a sadness comes over me
To consider the thought of leaving this place somewhere so wild and so free
The realization springs true days were numbered I never thought they were so few
For so many years I yearned for these places and the pleasures they would hold
Take the journey to the heights that were promised that seem to be reserved for the bold
It saddens me to recognize those days have come to an end
Though the mountains still call to me It’s hard to say goodbye to an old friend
I’m starin’ at my feet they won’t let me go Stay rooted in the wildness and being alone
The clouds and the sky the beauty rises so high alone in the place that I love
Chorus:
This may be The Last Time as tears gather in my eyes
I thought these times would always be here but now I must say goodbye
Even though I still feel young full of adventure and fun
I realize Nothing lasts forever As I gaze at the setting sun This may be The Last Time

Hey Old Man
05:38

LYRICS
Hey old man what are doing out there Sittin' on your porch rockin' in your rockin chair
A cabin in the woods on the shore of a mountain lake Snow frosted peaks your saving grace
A cup of coffee in your hand your favorite guitar at your side Every morning watching the sun on the rise
To look at you no one would ever dream The bridges you crossed the crazy things that you've seen
It began one night in a smoke filled dim lit saloon A flat top guitar and you and your favorite tunes
Playing for tips and an occasional beer Just a ghost in the corner your future unclear
Melody's poured from your soul through your fingers and your guitar
Stories that others could cling too finally made you a star
Anything you wanted was your desire Fast living and too much money finally put out the fire
Hey Old Man your hair is turning gray Every line on your face marks another year that you played
The music took a backseat to the roar of the crowd Didn't take long you finally burned out
You sat in your hotel room with your head in hands
Tears drippin' from eyes you knew that this was the end
Passions and emotions began to collide But it was the message and the music that filled you inside
Now you're sitting all alone with six friendly strings The feeling is back in the music and the words that you sing
Songs that could change the world if people would hear But they only drift into the cool mountain air
Hey old man what are doing out there Singing songs from the heart it only seems fair
Your days are numbered long ago you finally quit counting
Sitting at your cabin in the woods up high in the mountains
Hey old man what are doing out there Sittin' on your porch rockin' in your rockin chair (repeat)

Turn To Dust
04:13

LYRICS
It came on me ‘bout ten years ago
Monkey on my back and it wouldn’t let go
God only knows where it came from
Must of been hidin’ like a man with a gun
I said to myself this isn’t me
I gotta put my mind straight set myself free
It took hold of my soul and dragged me so low
Hid beneath the covers there was no where to go
Now I know after all this time
How people lose track and cross the line
Lookin’ at death Not thinkin’ straight
Feelin’ there’s no controlin’ their fate
Wrap your arms around what’s deep in your soul
Keep your cards to your heart it’s not time to fold
Believe what you were taught “In God We Trust”
Don’t give up and wait until you Turn To Dust
I listened to myself and I listened to them
The demons kept comin’ back again and again
I fought the confusion I felt in my heart
But my crooked mind was tearin’ me apart
Never quite certain which way I should turn
No matter what I’d always get burned
Flesh to flame I was a broken man
Couldn’t see salvation in the palm of my hand
After all the years something broke through
I knew to myself I must be true
Break the emotions controllin’ my life
Do what I needed to keep my wife
In a foggy haze I saw help was near
But I couldn’t let go of all the fear
Years of tears turned my heart to rust
But I had to fight and not wait ‘til I Turned To Dust
Had to get strong make myself walk tall
Pick up my achin’ body whenever I’d fall
I was a better man than I had been
Thought I could beat it thought I could win
The darkest dark was finally gone
Saw the promise of the coming dawn
My mind began to open I started to see
All the evil thoughts that were killin’me
Now in a sky of blue
I could see everything that I already knew
Clouds had parted the darkness was gone
I could see all the things that I had done wrong
There’s always hope everyone should see
Be truthful to yourself if you want to stay free
Do what is right be honest and just
Be everything you can before you Turn To Dust

LYRICS
Told you I'm a Wanderin' Man Said you'd understand
So when I tell you I'm gonna leave I don't want you woman cryin' 'round me
I can't stay for long I gotta be movin' on
There's a lot of things I want to see Woman get away from me
(It's not that I don't like you woman)
But I got things to do Sure can't do 'em with you
So when I tell you I'm gonna leave Give me a kiss say goodbye to me
I can't stay for long I gotta be movin' on
There's a lot of things I want to do Woman get away from you
You tell me that you'll do whatever I want you to
Well that's fine for you to say but I'm tellin' you girl I ain't gonna stay
I'm gonna leave today I gotta get away
There's a lot of girls I want to see And let 'em do things to me
