I was walking down the street A stranger said to me Be careful what you do Then when waiting for a train I heard a strange refrain Id watch out if I were you, boy Is something going to happen soon Somethings going to happen soon I have a phone that dosent ring A line that dosent sting I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall But that dont pay the rent If you draw a bow draw the strongest Yes, and if you use an arrow use the longest Altough I dont spook easily It has occured to me Transformation is in the air Are the heavens conspiring to show me this new thing Or has it always been there?
I can't begin to imagine why it took so long for this one to show up here:
Hesitation Blues
Well, nickel is a nickel, I said, dime is a dime I need a new gal, she won't mind Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate? The eagle on the dollar says "in God we trust" You say you want a man You wanna see that dollar first Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, I said, must I hesitate? Well, If the river was whiskey, said, I was a duck You know I'd swim to the bottom Lord, and never come up Tell me how long Well, rocks in the ocean, said, fish in the sea Knows you mean the world to me Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate? Well, the hesitation stalker's got them hesitation shoes You know, Lord, I got them hesitation blues Tell me how long do I have to wait? Can I get you now, Lord, must I hesitate? Said, can I get you now, how long must I hesitate?
"I LEARNED THAT FROM YOU" (jess brown/tony lane; sung by Sara Evans)
I remember the windows rolled down and the wind in my hair Driving ’round in your daddy’s old chevy Like we were going somewhere
We thought that summer would last us forever Going steady was just something you do I didn’t know much about love I learned that from you
Now those were some good times Lately they don’t seem to last I guess I’m not nearly as strong as a drink in your glass And the nights just get later I can stay up and wait or just go on to bed like I do I never knew nothing about lonely I learned from that you
And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel And I made wishes at wishing wells And I fell into that fairytale too And I know that love ain’t so easy But we tried, didn’t we baby It’s alright Some dreams weren’t meant to come true I learned that from you
One night while the whole world was turning I left you a note And I told you that I’d always miss you Then I let you go I’m living outside of some town I ain’t heard of And I think about the boy I knew I didn’ t know you could fall out of love I learned that from you
And I learned how to kiss on a ferris wheel And I made wishes at wishing wells And I fell into that fairytale too And I know that love ain’t so easy But we tried, didn’t we baby It’s alright Some dreams weren’t meant to come true I learned that from you
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on) If you feel like letting go, (hold on) When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on
'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long, When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes, Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Everybody hurts. You are not alone
Wanna tell you about the girl I love My she looks so fine She's the only one that I been dreamin' of Maybe someday she will be all mine I wanna tell her that I love her so I thrill with her every touch I need to tell her she's the only one I really love
I got a woman, wanna ball all day I got a woman, she won't be true, no I got a woman, stay drunk all the time I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
Sunday morning when we go down to church See the menfolk standin' in line I said they come to pray to the Lord With my little girl, looks so fine In the evening when the sun is sinkin' low Everybody's with the one they love I walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all around Lookin' for my street corner girl
I got a woman, wanna ball all day I got a woman, she won't be true, no no I got a woman, stay drunk all the time I said I got a little woman and she won't be true
In the bars, with the men who play guitars Singin', drinkin' and rememberin' the times My little lover does a midnight shift She balls around all the time I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to do Gonna pack my bags and move on my way Cause I got a worried mind Sharin' what I thought was mine Gonna leave her where the guitars play
I got a woman, she won't be true, no no I got a woman, wanna ball all day I got a woman, stay drunk all the time I got a little woman and she won't be true
(Hey hey what can I do)
I said she won't be true
(Hey Hey, What can I say?)
Hey hey, what can I do I got a woman, she won't be true Lord, hear what I say I got a woman, wanna ball all day
Your dogs ain't found a good girl, One that love you and give you warning Now you find that you been misused, Well how many girls can think all right
She'd embarrass you anywhere, She'd make her friends think that she didn't care Give me the chance and I'd been begging And I just want to take care of you and I want you to
Tell Mama, all about it, tell Mama, what you need Tell Mama, what you want and how that girl does things all right Let me hear you say "Yash"
The girl you had didn't have no sense, she wasn't worth all the time you spent Had another man kick you out the door, now that same dude is wearing your clothes
Tell your Mama, what you want, tell your Mama, what you need Tell your Mama, what you got to have
She left the car in the driveway She left the key in the door She left the kids at her mama's And the laundry piled up on the floor She left her ring on the pillow Right where it wouldn't be missed She left a note in the kitchen Next to the grocery list
It said, you don't even know who i am You left me a long time ago You don't even know who i am So what do you care if i go
He left the ring on the pillow He left the clothes on the floor And he called her to say he was sorry But he couldn't remember what for So he said i've been doing some thinking I've been thinking that maybe you're right I go to work every morning And i come home to you every night
And you don't even know who i am You left me a long time ago You don't even know who i am So what do i care if you go You don't even know who i am So what do i care if you go
This and Tim McGraws, Angry All the Time sum up alot.

[Verse solo, fiddle/steel]
V3: [first line spoken, not sung] Well my dog died just yesterday and left me all alone. The finance company dropped by today and repossessed my home.

"The Stars Do Shine" It's where you go So many times Inside your room of crystalline With fractured shards And cracks in parts It's still a place to heal your heart
And despite these wounds Where the stars do shine
When you emerge Each time it's true I bless the chance to be with you And know you still Before you will Step back into this shadowed room
Where the stars do shine but they've come unglued
We can't know tomorrow That only time will prove But there's something I do know That love will always fill this room
It's where you go So many times Inside your room of crystalline With fractured shards And cracks in parts It's still a place to heal your heart
And despite these wounds Where the stars do shine.
"Back in My Arms" Though the sun will rise And light the darkened sky Here at night it seems So very far from me
When you go away Though you'll come back some day Now the sky is ebony And you're so far from me Again
Though the sun will rise And light the darkened sky Here at night it seems So very far from me
And what of journey's end Where will this hard road send you Winding around the bend Back to where you started from Back in my arms again
Sweet creatures in the night Will sing their lullabies And though I long to weep I dream untroubled sleep
When you go away You'll be back someday Now this night's at peace I feel you close to me Again
And what of journey's end Where will this hard road send you Winding around the bend Back to where you started from Back in my arms again.
