The List
"One More Girl"
Before I go outta this world, I just want to meet one more girl, one
girl who could show me the way. one woman who'll stay, and stay! One
person who really cares about me. Oh yeah, Me Me Me. But, I've given so
much, can't you see? When we do connect, what a change there'll be, when
you bring out the love inside of me. Just be true, and just be you,
you'll love me baby, and I'll love you too! You, and what you need. When
we're together or far apart, you'll feel the love, from deep in my
heart!
"Crazy Over You"
Crazy, crazy over you, call me crazy for the things I do, nothing after
work to do, just beer, and wine, and cigarettes , ok , maybe a few
regrets, regrets over losing you, so go ahead and call me crazy, if you
want to, but Girl if I'm crazy, I'm crazy over you. So don't tell me to
find something else to do, I can sit around and be crazy over you, if I
want to, Sue. So here's to you, Suzie Q!Everything you do comes back to
you, just wait and see, all the things we did will come back to you and
me. All the love we shared, I only wish you really cared. I can't stop
loving you, but you're not here, so what do I do? Just sit around and
think of you? Well, I guess that's what I'll do, just sit around and
think of you. So here's to you, Suzie Q !
"Midnight Craving"
I got a midnight craving for alcohol, and there's nothing I can do about
it at all. All I got left, is a half a beer. and now I'm stuck right
here. I knew I shoulda bought some wine, or a fifth of something oh so
fine. Something with more kick, than this Schlitz. Yeah I got a midnight
craving for alcohol, and there's nothing I can do about it at all. Yeah
I got a midnight craving for alcohol.
"Gone"
A pretty woman can always have her way,
she can go, or she can stay.
They know they're in demand.
The heart of any man, they can command.
They can run your life, they can ruin your life,
if you let "em. No big deal to them,
how you feel, but to you, it all seems so un-real.
How they can change their man like a new pair of shoes,
then they calmly break you the news.
You're out, he's in, don't bother thinking about what could have been.
Just move on, and be thankful for the time you had,
get a grip, don't feel so sad. You said some things,
you shouldn't have said.
Now you're feeling you'd be better off dead.
But listen to her, one last time,
the hard cold truth you got to get it into your mind!
It's time to move on. Your cook, your maid,
your Lover is Gone. Yeah listen to her one last time.
It's time to move on. Your cook, your maid,
your Lover,
is Gone.
"If you leave something behind"
If you leave something behind,
you're gonna have to make up your mind, and either go get what you're thinking of,
or go ahead and leave it behind.
But you gotta go back, or go forward. And don't you dare change your mind.
Go back, or go forward. Or every step you take you're further behind.
And if you wanna live the good life, and you want it all of the time,
you'll have to have the right solution, now you got it all on the line,
you're gonna have to make up your mind, and either get it back, or leave
it behind.
"Road Trip"
I took my pay and bought a ticket for a Greyhound Bus. I headed north.
Just had to clear my head, from all the confusion, and the fuss. I told
her I was tired of trying so hard to make everybody happy, and watching
them look so blue. She said, that's alright, you aint got it to do! Get
on down the road, I can find a replacement for you! Once you're gone
I'll have a lot more time, to stop living your life, and start living
mine! I'll have a man in our bed, before your first stop, might be a
lawyer, hell, might be a cop! I'll be better off without you, anyway, so
why the hell should I try to make you stay?
I've been up here now, I guess, about three years. She calls me up, and
she's all in tears. Oh won't you come back down? I just can't make it
baby, without you around. You were the only man for me. Come on back,
and I'll make you see. We can still have a life so fine, Baby you and
me! Come on back, before I lose my mind! Well, girl you know, I loved
you dear, and I'll think about it, while I'm out tonight, just having a
beer. You want a caretaker, and that aint me. I can't help it if your
life aint the way you want it to be. I gave it my all, but you never
gave that back to me. Oh girl, can't you see? I'll think about it. Yeah,
I'll think about it. I'll think about it, but for both our sakes, well
I'll probably just stay here, just stay here and have another beer.
"Pretty Pictures"
Pretty pictures on the wall, get off that railing, before you fall. Come
on over, anyone, you just can’t imagine, all the fun! It’s happening
here, above the street. Go somewhere else, if you want to eat. Listen to
the river move along. Get it right now, for a song.
Passing cars, and cloudy days, get your mind set, forty ways. Give it
up, or hold on tight. Just let the day drift into night. It’s raining
now, so don’t be shy. There ain’t no need to wonder why. I’ve got my
problems, so do you. What it is, or ain’t, ain’t nothing new. Life will
go on, with, or without you.
Feeling good here’s not a crime. No need for guilt, just passing time.
"Don't tell me no lies"
Once I happened to meet, a lovely girl walking down the street, she said
she couldn't resist my eyes, then she said, Just one thing, Don't tell
me no lies. I said, would you like to see my place, it's just up the
stairs. Lead the way my man, was all she said. So I got her a beer, from
the ice box, and then she threw off her shoes, and her socks. This
place aint so bad, she said with a smile. Tell me about it, and all this
gear, I might just like to stay for a while. Yea, tell me about it, and
all this stuff here. I might just like to stay for a while. Just don't
tell me no lies.
“The Candle Song”
I almost lit a candle, the other night, while I was getting romantic,
with my wife. But you’ve ruined all of that for me, in my life.
One look at that flame, and the melting wax, and I just can’t stop those
memories, from coming back. Red, white, and blue, melting wax, and me
and you, maybe some brown mixed in there too. And they each had their
own special scent, girl do you remember, how much it meant ? It meant so
much, because it was a product of me and you ! Just something that we
both, liked to do, making love, while our creation grew!
That ceramic vase you found, broken handle and a chip or two, but just
right for what you had in mind to do! So you had me glue a plate to the
top of it, pretty soon we had three candles lit. Red white and blue,
three little flames, and me and you, holding hands, and praying to
heaven, Lord our country needs your help right now, and that was just
after nine-eleven.But time goes on, and we did too, while our creation
just grew, and grew! Night after night in each others arms, how could
everything have gone so wrong? Too many beers, and too many tears.
We cleaned up the mess, the morning after it got busted, but things were
never quite the same, I guess we lost the flame. I couldn’t stop the
drinking, but neither could you. All I can say is, I’m sorry Sue. So
sorry about me and you.
"Take a Chance on Me"
If by chance we should happen to meet, if we run across each other on
the street, could you be the one? Maybe you and I could have some fun,
we're just as entitled to it, as anyone. You got that look in your eyes,
just like me, you're sick of all the lies, scared to trust, or count on
anyone, they say, I love you baby, then they turn around and run.
You deserve so much better than that. Still, I believe you'd risk it
all, if you had the chance, risk being hurt one more time. Hope could
make you lay it all on the line. Hoping to find a love so fine. Come on
baby, take a chance on me, I'll take the time to try and make you see,
you didn't go wrong, when you took a chance on me.
Come on baby, take a chance on me.
“Don’t make me a Fool”
I went on down and into the bar. She said what you doing here? Don’t you
know you’re barred? I said, oh, come on please, I’ll behave, don’t make
me leave. She said, if I give you one more chance, are you going to
make a fool of me? Because if so, then I wish that you’d just go! I said
oh, no! No, no, no, I’ll be good, and I’ll be good to you, I’ll even
tip your cup, and you’ll see it’s true! Oh baby, I’ll be good to you!
So she let me stay for a while, every now and then she even gave me a
smile. Weren’t too long, and I was feeling good! I put my money in her
jar, like I knew I should. But myself, I can never trust. All it takes
is a little buzz, for me to start acting the fool. So I asked her if
she’d like to play some pool.
Well, we aint got no table you know. So now I think it’s time for you to
go! We aint got no table “round here! So now I think you need to just
finish your beer! Just finish your beer my dear, and get on out of here!
Don’t try and make me a fool! You know we aint got no pool! The next
thing you know, you’ll be asking me, do I want to go Swimming? Oh
no!..no, no, no! Just finish your beer, and go! Just finish your beer,
my dear, and get on out of here!
“Bartender to Drunk”
She said to me, you’re a handsome man, but you got a problem, you know. I
said, yeah, yeah I know. You can’t handle your Booze, she said. You let
it handle you. I said, yeah, yeah I know. Why can’t you change? She
said to me. I don’t know, was my reply. Well, until you can, just keep
going in the gutter, and die! I don’t have time, to care, or cry. I have
a life to live, and a whole lot of love to give! But not to someone who
can’t even love them self! So go on and ruin your life! But do it
somewhere else! I don’t want to see! So just go on, and let me be! Now
would you? Now would you, Please?
"I Needed You"
We'll is it another beer, or a cigarette,
which one is gonna put me to rest? They both taste good, but I don't
know which one I like the best. When I'm all done with my beer, I guess
I'll have another cigarette, but I still don't know which one I like the
best, I just know, the beer's about gone.
Cigarettes, well, yeah, I still have a few,
but it's a sad shame, between the two, I
lost what I needed most in this world, yeah damn it girl, I needed you!
But I was too stupid to see, how bad you needed me, not the old drunk,
stinky guy, but me, to lay down by your side, and not need a beer, or a
cigarette, just being so happy for the love that I get, and not make you
feel, second best, to a damn beer, or a cigarette.
"Sunshine"
In the game of life, we don't always get the cards we're looking for.
Just when you think you've hit the bottom, lady luck comes round and
knocks you down some more. When you came along, I had given up, and was
about to fold. But you showed me your love, was there to have and to
hold. In the middle of a cold black storm, your sunshine caressed me,
and it kept me warm! Now my days are sunny and bright, your love and
your kindness are there in the night.
It's worse than any nightmare, just to think of how it could have been.
The booze and the drugs it seemed would have no end! But now that I've
found you, and I can wrap my arms around you, well it's not hard to see,
just what a fool I'd been. The way I wasted precious time it was a
crying sin. Your sunshine's been the answer to my every prayer. The dark
clouds have all scattered, now your warmth is there! Now all it takes
to get me high is just to see your face, your loving smile has turned my
world into a different place.You're my lifeblood, you're my perfect
friend! You're the one I know will be there for me, till the end!
Sunshine I Love you! Sunshine I need you! Sunshine shine down, on me!
"What's the Matter"
What's the matter, are you thinking of
something that's new? Or, are you maybe, just afraid of, something
someone said? Is it so important to you? Don't you have time to be true?
Or maybe it's just time, for me to be through with you. Don't you think
that I know, just the way that you feel? I know that it's hard, but why
can't you for once just be real? Come out and show me the way that you
feel. I won't be hurt, or think less of you baby, all that I want, is
just, just a little truth, maybe.You just might find when you leave me
behind, there was just a little something, wrong in your mind. Yeah, I
think you just might find when you leave me behind, there was just a
little something, wrong in your mind. Yeah, I think there mighta been a
little something wrong in your mind.
"Lost"
You were a child of the fifties, sock hops, and soda-pop. Alice Cooper
was my idol, seems we're a world apart, but love and friendship was no
problem, we were in each others' hearts, face to face, and down and
dirty, right from the very start. Gut feelings shared between us, it
seems weren't very smart, for man's a selfish creature, and now from me
your love is lost.
There ain't too many things that I'd call crucial in my life, but having
you to turn to, made an odd thing seem alright. But there ain't no use
denying, as time goes rolling by, I'm gonna get that urge, and when I
do, I'll just spread my wings, and fly. So tell me what's the point, in
being happy for a day? Sweet woman you don't deserve it, I've already
gone away. You need to find yourself a good man, who'd never leave you
flat. I just ain't up to being, the one who can give you that.
Yes, man's a selfish creature, and now from me, your love is lost. Your
love is lost, your love is lost. Yes man's a selfish creature, and now
from me your love is lost.
"Lost in solitude"
Lost in solitude, my thoughts always return to you. God I feel so blue. A
moment in time, not to think about you, well for that, God knows what
I'd do. My life's been full of ups and downs, but this time, I'm really
turned around. Oh Sue, what can I do, with all of this, You, You, You?
Our lives were so close to being true, but I stole you away from a
pretty good friend, of course this is how me and you should end. Some
guy takes you away from me. Now I gotta live with what will be.
Realizing you're no longer with me.Yeah he's got you now, but for how
long? Won't be long, and with another you'll be gone. So, go ahead, run
around. Run around Sue. It's all you know how to do.
Yeah go ahead, run around. Run around Sue.
It's all you know how to do.
"Sanctuary"
Let the worries of the world, just slip away. You're safe right here with me, right here with me, in our, our little, Sanctuary.
Well there aint no phone, no TV set, what you see, is what you get, but it's warm in here, and you can usually find a beer.
Yeah baby, you're safe right here, right here with me, in our, our little Sanctuary.
"All You Say I Am"
I'm all you say I am, I'm a cheat, I'm a liar, I could set your heart on
fire. I'm a kind man, I'm a butt hole, I'm a guy with a heart as black
as coal. I'm a sweet-heart who'd never hurt you, I'll be the first one
to desert you, I'm the one you always wanted, but somebody you just
don't need. I'm all you say I am, I'm all you say I am, I'm all you say I
am, and more. And so much more.
"Poor Man"
When a poor man has a little cash, there's nothing that a beautiful
woman, can not ask, she can ask the world of him, his very last dime,
he'll be happy to spend. Money don't mean that much, when you're looking
for that special touch. Oh girl, to me, you mean so much! Just to have
the opportunity, to feel you, next to me, well girl I know it is not
free. And if I wind up broke, and all alone, well at least I'll know I
tried, yeah, tried
to take you home. Come on baby! Come on home with me! Oh well, maybe next time.
