Torch Singer
04:23
|

|
The night club was burning from the torch singer's song
And the sweat was floodin' her eyes
The catwalk squeaked 'neath the bartender's feet
And the smoke was too heavy to rise
She sang of the love that left her
And of the woman that she'll never be
Made me feel like the buck and a quarter
That I paid 'em to listen and see
Paid 'em to listen and see
I was born down in Kansas 'neath the October sky
Work the day shift from seven to three
And the only relief that I receive
Is nearer my God to Thee
She constantly throws me off timing
Leaves me standing both naked and bare
Makes me feel like the Sunday funnies
After everything's gone off the air
Everything's gone off the air
I picked through the ashes of the torch singer's song
And I ordered my money around
For whiskey and pain both taste the same
During the time they go down

That's All It Took
03:01

That's all it took
The mention of your name
And all my love for you burst into flames
I tried so hard to let you go, but look
How I still tremble at your name
That's all it took
That's all it took
To make me know that I still care
It seems my heart just can't give up
The dreams we used to share
I tell my friends I'm happy
But they read me like a book
And when today I heard them say your name
That's all it took
That's all it took
To make me yearn for your embrace
I guess I might as well admit
No one can take your place
I fell for you completely
Sinker line and hook
And when today I heard them say your name
That's all it took
And when today I heard them say yo

I Got Drunk
04:29

Well, I got drunk...so sue me
I've made up my mind to not give a damn
I tried to forget the way that you do me
Yeah, I got drunk because I'm your man
It's not like I found someone else I can hold
To make up for not holdin' you
It's not like I went out and painted the town
It's not like I was untrue
I got drunk...so sue me
I've made up my mind to not give a damn
I tried to forget the way that you do me
Yeah, I got drunk because I'm your man
What gives you the right to stay out all night
Or crawl in and lay down the law
We both know that you weren't alone
That's the reason you've been gone
So I got drunk, sue me
I've made up my mind to not give a damn
I tried to forget the way that you do me
Yeah I got drunk because I'm your man
Yeah, I got drunk...I still am
I still am

Paper Wings
03:22
|

|
Paper wings, all torn and bent
You made me feel that
They were heaven sent
Paper wings, not real at all
But they took me high
Enough to really fall
Your paper kisses faded too soon
Just like a paper rose
'Neath a paper moon
Paper wings, paper wings
Oh how could I expect
To fly with only paper wings?
Angels were singing, didn't you hear
If only I'd listened close
When they whispered in my ear
Paper wings, paper wings
Oh how could I expect
To fly with only paper wings?
I tried to fly but found
That I had only paper wings

Winding Wheel
03:51
|
|||
|
Well, nighttime let her through
Yeah I'm talking to you, I wanna see her
Precious little thing
With eyes that dance around without their clothes
[Chorus]
So buy a pretty dress
Wear it out tonight
For anyone you think could outdo me
Or better still be my winding wheel
[Verse 2]
'Cause I feel just like a map
Without a single place to go of interest
And I'm further North than South
If I could shut my mouth she'd probably like this
[Chorus]
So buy a pretty dress
And wear it out tonight
For all the boys you think could outdo me
Or better still be my winding wheel
Be my winding wheel
[Verse 3]
Well the children laugh and sing
A song that ushers in her driving rain
And I'm standing in the station
Like some old record waiting on a train

She
05:42
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
She
She came from the land of the cotton
A land that was nearly forgotten by everyone
She
She worked and she slaved so hard
A big old field was her back yard in the delta sun
[Chorus]
Oh, but she sure could sing
Oh, she sure could sing
[Verse 2]
Then he
Looked down and he took a little pity
The whole town swore he decided he'd help her some
But he
Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty
And deep inside his heart, he knew she was the only one
[Chorus]
Oh, but she sure could sing
Yeah, she sure could sing
[Bridge]
She had faith, she had believing
She led all the people together in singing
And she prays every night to the Lord up above
Singing hallelujah, halleluja

Weary Blues
03:49

|
[Chorus]
Weary blues from waitin'
Lord, I've been waitin' too long
These blues have got me cryin'
Oh, sweet mama, please come home
[Verse 1]
The snow falls 'round my window
But it can't chill my heart
God knows it died the day you left
My dream world fell apart
[Chorus]
Weary blues from waitin'
Lord, I've been waitin' too long
These blues have got me cryin'
Oh, sweet mama, please come home
[Verse 2]
Thru tears I watch young lovers
As they go strollin' by
Oh, all the things that might have been
God forgive me if I cry
[Chorus]
Weary blues from waitin'
Lord, I've been waitin' too long
These blues have got me cryin'
Oh, sweet mama, please come home

Heavyweight Champion
04:19
|
|||
|
All it took was just one look
like a big right hook to the chin
knocked out cold I woke to behold
her sad and beautiful grin
heavyweight champion of the world
brought to my knees by a fickle girl
now I'm down for the count and I ain't so sure
that I'm the heavyweight champion anymore
upside down and inside out
that's how my world ended up
she's a pain in my ass and the light in my heart
and I love the way the rain falls down on us
heavyweight champion of the world
brought to my knees by a fickle girl
now I'm down for the count and I ain't so sure
that I'm the heavyweight champion anymore

Down Low
04:49
|
|||
|
Love, I've been thinkin' of you
And the things I used to do
And the trouble I make
Love, you'd be better off dead
With a bullet in your head
Than to come back to me
Keep it on the down low
Don't tell everybody you know
I loved you more than I showed
But I'm only a man
And my pride makes demands
That only ever lead me to sorrow
So burn all the letters I sent
For every word that I meant
There were two that were lies
And forget every nice thing I said
There were thoughts in my head
That would make you cry
Keep it on the down low
Don't tell everybody you know
I loved you more than I showed

Take me back Josephine
To that cold and dark December
I am missing someone but I don't know who
Now I'm standing alone and I'm trying to remember
Sometimes I wonder how I ever started loving you
Noontime wind can you blow
For me one mroe time
And take me on back to the start
Where the midnight moon shines so bright
Nearly pulled us up to Heaven
By the strings of our heart
Take me back Josephine
To that cold and dark December
I am missing someone but I don't know who
Now I'm standing alone and I'm trying to remember
Sometimes I wonder how I ever started loving you
Morning sun shine on me
Come light inside my window
And rest on my brow
Kiss my eyes when I sleep
And carry me back home
If my dreams will allow
Take me back Josephine
To that cold and dark December
I am missing someone but I don't know who
Now I'm standing alone and I'm trying to remember
Sometimes I wonder how I ever started loving you
