Main Street

Every night when I drive home
I gotta go down main street
Through a lot of yellow lights
Been a little late just a couple of times
But you know I ain’t never missed one night
Well sometimes I think about goin’ home
To somebody I know’ll treat me better
Than you
But I been drivin’ myself downtown
Through those yellow lights so long
I don’t know what else I’d do
Every now and then I hear myself
Hummin’ with the engine
And I wonder how things ever got this way
It’s been 3 long years since that
Sweet smile of yours caught me
And I’ve been down this road since then
Every day
Well sometimes I think about goin’ home
To somebody I know’ll treat me better
Than you
But I been drivin’ myself downtown
Through those yellow lights so long
I don’t know what else I’d do

Midnight Wind
03:58
|

|
Our eyes met for just a minute
Right away I was deep down in it
It’s not something that you get everyday
We found love in the midst of madness
Stood tall in the face of sadness
But we could not get our way
Just when it seems to me
That I just might see
The kind of love
That I hoped
Would begin
I’m alone again
And the trucks roar by
It’s a midnight wind
I need love in my life to guide me
Then you started walking right beside me
It’s the reason some people pray
What I saw had my heart stopping
And when the curtain started dropping
There was nothing left to say
Just when it seems to me
That I just might see
The kind of love
That I hoped
Would begin
I’m alone again
And the trucks roar by
It’s a midnight wind
Just when it seems to me
That I just might see
The kind of love
That I hoped
Would begin
I’m alone again
And the trucks roar by
It’s a midnight wind
I’m alone again
And the trucks roar by

I'm a Fool

I’m a fool
For you baby
Let me in
Let me hear you say
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh again
Pushing my palms to the ceiling
Stompin’ on the floor
It’s been a
Long long long long long long time
Since I begged for some more
Oh please
Don’t deny me
It’s about to begin
Let me know how you can
Send me up so far
And bring me back
Down again
Got the power to love you
If you could let me in
I’m past the point of being polite
Let’s do it again
‘Cause my heads starts reelin’
And it feels so tough
When your sayin’
More more More more
More more more
Cause one time ain’t enough
Oh please don’t deny me
It’s about to begin
Let me know how you can
Send me up so far
And bring me back
Down again
I’m a fool for you baby
I’m a fool for you baby
I’m a fool for you baby
I’m a fool

Change On You
04:04
|
|||
|
There’s something I need to show you
There’s somebody that needs to know you
But you haven’t got the time to give today
You been climbing on up the ladder
The ones below you they don’t matter
You’re goin’ up and you can’t look away
There’s only one thing
We all have in common
There’s only one thing
I know is true
No matter how high up the ladder
It’s gonna change on you
It’s gonna change on you
Oh the ends they just aren’t meeting
And your successes they seem so fleeting
And the past it seems so very far away
You stand and you face the mirror
You brush away the last trace of tear, oh
At least you know who stood right by you today
There’s only one thing
I know for certain
There’s only one thing
I know is true
No matter how big
The thing that matters
It’s gonna change on you
Oh it’s gonna change on you
It’s gonna change on you
Change on you
Change on you
It’s gonna change on you
Change on you
Change on you
There’s only one thing we all have in common
Only one thing I can promise you
No matter how far you crawl down to your sorrow
It’s gonna change on you

Kentucky

Sometimes a haunting memory
Comes thundering down on me
My dreams of the future
Take me back sometimes, you see…
You see horses prancing on the hillside
You see troubled times away
You see a time when life was easier
And you see you can’t stop your heart from sayin’
Look away, Old Kentucky
I thought that I heard you call
It seems that I am a daughter of
Old Kentucky after all
After all that I have done to you
And all that you did to me
The dreams that I’ve been dreamin’
Take me back to Kentucky
Because you let me come so awfully close
To every thing you do
Suddenly I find my heart’s with you
Where my love is bloomin’
And the grass is blue
And I’m swearin’ darlin’ that my
Love is true
Because there’s
No one walking the streets of New York
Or the valleys around LA
Or in the Boston commons
Or the Texas sun
Could make me say what I’m about to say
Look Away, Old Kentucky
I thought that I heard you call
It seems that I am daughter of old Kentucky after all
After all that I have done to you
And all that you did to me
The dreams that I’ve been dreamin’
Take me back to Kentucky

Your time’s gonna come he said
But I wanna just leave it that way
I liked all the things that he said
But I wanna just leave it that way
Remembering that you can sing
The exultation of a single lark
And then I close my eyes and someone’s holding me
And it’s like dancin’ with your daddy in the dark
Best times that she had when she was on the run
These days her senses sharp like a razor
But it’s just not so much fun
And every time she steps down from the stage
There is thunder coming from her shoes
How about that little girl from Lexington
Oh she sure can sing the blues

Mighty Love
03:53
|
|||
|
Well there must have been some kind of misunderstanding
Because the ears that my words fell on were dead
Or maybe I just lost something in the translation
Because I thought I felt you feeling
I was out of my head.
Well I just thought that I might
Get me some of that Mighty Love
And I thought that I might
Get me some with you
So I went on a date
Went on a date for safe thrills
And answers to questions
But it only made me wonder
Made me wonder ‘bout it all
Despite what they say
Despite what they say
I’m a filly with some trainin’
Oh oh and you’re nothin’
And your nothin’ but a bar room brawl
And you just thought that you might
Get you some of that Mighty Love
And you thought that you might
Get you some with me
But I kinda like it
Kinda free
It’s kinda different
From me
Oh me I could take it or I could leave it
But the way it is
But the way it is ain’t the way it could be
Are you gonna come down
Are you comin’ down from your stone cold tower
To let this romance
Let this romance end happily?
‘Cause if you do
Then I know that you can get you some of that Mighty Love
Oh darlin’ I know you can find it if you please
C’mon and give it a try
I don’t see why
We don’t have that Mighty Love
Oh darlin I know you can find it
Oh I know you can find it
Hmmmm I know you can find it
With me

My Miracle
04:38
|

|
I say goodbye to these four walls
And the avenue
Never forget all the love I found here
I pray
You don’t need to get up
Push the chair back
Turn the neons up on my love
I was just leavin’ anyway
I see a heart full of love
On the battlefield
I see a rainbow
In a sky
Of grey
I see the children holdin’ hands
On the mountain top
I know my miracle’s gonna come
One day
I see a heart full of love
On the battlefield
I see a rainbow
In a sky
Of grey
I see the children holdin’ hands
On the mountain top
I know my miracle’s gonna come
I say my miracle’s gonna come
I know my miracle’s gonna come
One day
One day

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Oh it’s a lazy Sunday afternoon
I could be crazy ‘bout you
Stars are shinin’
Before the lights go down
You got a way about you
I should be workin’
Oh but that won’t do
I’ve gotta be with you
Mama come down
And she tell me
She say “whoa child is that all you done today?”
You’re just sittin’ on that porch carryin’ a torch
Dreamin’ your life away”
Well I’ve got those
Backporch blues
And you’re always
On my mind
I’m tryin’ to remedy
What it is you’ve done to me
But the cure’s so hard to find
Mama come down
And she tell me
She say “whoa child is that all you done today?”
You’re just sittin’ on that porch carryin’ a torch
Dreamin’ your life away”
Well I’ve got those
Backporch blues
And you’re always
On my mind
I’m tryin’ to remedy
What it is you’ve done to me
But the cure’s so hard to find
Oh it’s so hard to find

What's It Gonna Take
02:58
|
|||
|
I don’t wanna ride that road to school no more
I can’t bear the memories
that keep knockin’ upon my door
I don’t wanna have to be the one
to have to write the words to this song
I shouldn’t be the one to tell you people
that there’s something
Really wrong
Really wrong
When the mamas lose their babies
Really wrong
When the whole damn town is blue
Really wrong
When they cry out and we lose them
What’s it gonna take for you?
What’s it gonna take for you?
I don’t wanna ride that road to school no more
I can’t bear that life keeps rollin’ on
just happenin’ like before
I’m trying to wake up but the nightmare
just keeps happening all day long
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s thinking
that there’s something
Really wrong
Really wrong
When the daddy’s hearts are broken
Really wrong
When the truth just can’t be true
Really wrong
When the nightmare sees the sunrise
What’s it gonna take for you?
What’s it gonna take for you?
I don’t wanna ride that road to school no more

Wild Horses
03:02
|

|
There’re wild horses
In your belly
And you’re just too numb to speak
A mute explosion
In the corner
Just now
While you were dancin’ cheek to cheek
Diverts your gaze for just a moment
It’s a look you try to hide
But what just sidestepped in
And sashayed up to you
Is one you never tried
They’re just events
But they seem so predestined
When I see you kneeling
In the last pew
I’m a fool
For the lights, camera,
And the action
I think I made a movie out of you
He said “Imagined confrontations
Could never be like this
‘Cause in my dreams
You always float up and you meet me
And its kiss for kiss
And I say “not to worry baby
Because I’ve seen it all before
And there is no way
I can let those wild horses
Drag me past your door
They’re just events
Turning into questions
Are they mine alone
Or are they yours too?
I’m a fool
For the lights, camera
And the action
I think I made a movie out of you
