well the blues had it's way with me
for longer than I would care to admit
yes the blues had it's way with me
for longer than I would care to admit
I don't care a bit
cuz I'm a movin' on
to another town
and I'll find me a job
where they can boss me around
find me a fine lady
who will take my money and run
she can crush my soul
and a break my heart
just for fun
and I will play guitar
and with any luck
I'll sign my life away
to some rich fat fuck
and I'll lose my car
and my dog will die
I'll go to prison
and I will fry
between you and I
the blues will break me down
just for fun

It Don't Hurt As Much

she said we'd be married when we grew up
and a couple other things
and I laughed and told her I ain't ever growing up
she pushed me off the swings
and I said
It don't hurt as much
as you might think
In 20 years things got heavy
sayin' nothing could drag her away
now she got better things to do and said
that was yesterday
and I said
It don't hurt as much
as you might think

well my love's going out to the people
cuz hurt can't escape from her heart
she could do anything
at any time
and you never know when it could start
I'm headed west
cuz here she come
to east st. louis
you should know she's just two drinks away
of her mind going out of control
sometimes the colt
sometimes the mad dog
sometimes the schlitz malt liquor bull
like godzilla
in downtown tokyo
I believe that it is time to go
I'm heading west
cuz here she come
to east st. louis
sometimes the colt
sometimes the mad dog..

things ain't workin' out
rejected by the prison board
he said look boy you gonna pay
if I have to buy them an extension cord
I think you know
things ain't workin' out
you put on a hell of a show
but it's time for you to go
electric smoke in the texas sky
things ain't workin out
ya hit a new low
I believe you know what I'm talkin' about
and it's time for you to go
won't you tell me what's on your mind?
things ain't workin out
you put on a hell of a show
but it's time for you to go
electric smoke in the texas sky
you gonna pay your bill
while you stay in huntsville
old sparky'd like to say goodbye
you put on a hell of a show
but it's time for you to go
electric smoke in the texas sky
it's a hard story to tell
won't you tell me what's on your mind?
things ain't workin out
ya hit a new low
I believe you know what I'm talkin about
and it's time for you to go
won't you tell me what's on your mind?
things ain't workin out
hard story to tell
old sparky'd like to say goodbye
say goodbye

Disappointed Angels
02:59
|

I haven't been
as good as I could have been
I could have given more
of myself
and all the
disappointed angels
look down at what a
mess I've made
they said
with love
in their hearts
the matter doesn't matter
you should know
the sun
beats for you
with the moon and stars
to cool you down
on a rainy day
on a walk downtown
I give more
more of myself
and I go
I go out of my way
but's it's just not enough
we have to do more
for the kingdom
the kings can't cope
with disappointed angels
losing hope
and I just want them to know
I just need them to know
we haven't given up

well I been thinkin
bout gettin serious
about giving up
on getting any sleep
cuz after careful
consideration
I have determined
I'm getting up
just got to think about
a couple more things
that I should know
will wake me up
and after weighing
all of my options
to drift away
here's a what I got
I know I look at that mirror
with a little more contempt
than I used to do
but that's alright
and I notice my belt
and my shoes
are showin signs of wear
just like me
we could use a night out
and I'll say it once again
in case you don't know just where I been
a little mercy
would be alright
and after weighing
all of my options
to get some rest
here's a what I got
I know I look at that mirror
with a little more contempt
than I used to do
but that's alright
and I notice my belt
and my shoes
are showin signs of stress
just like me
we could work it out

Late Night
07:34
|

|
it's been a long night
and I could use a bite
cuz I drank most everything
that was placed within my sight
I had a good time
and I danced a lot
Lord I hope no one brought a camera
for all to see
woeth me
it's been a long night
and the stars are out
and the amateurs all
got a another place to be
away from me
sometimes the city sleeps
but it won't get sleep tonight
we gonna take a cab
and take a stab
at lettin it all hang out
well I ain't called Louis
but I think I see Little D
And I think there might be
somethin goin on
I'm thinkin beer and shots
and whatchoo got
to put me out of all my misery
so come with me
sometimes the city sleeps
but it won't sleep tonight
we gonna take a cab
and take a stab
at lettin it all hang out
