Take Me Home

she said I seemed real nice when she walked by
and I sounded pretty good for a white guy
and a couple of smokes and a couple of beers
and then it's not like I really even have to try
well I saw all her friends out there gettin' down
and she said she should maybe take me downtown
but I'm on 6th street standin' on concrete
confused but I guess she likes what she has found
she had a wild look in her eyes
she said honey I'm gonna take you home
I said hell yeah
you can take me home
I said hell yeah
you can take me home
so I packed up my amp got my guitar
grabbed my money I made from behind the bar
I got an ok deal on a bad set of wheels
and the losers stay away from a cop car
she said it sounds like my ride is a race car
but I drive cool cuz I ain't a rock star
and I don't like cops and they don't like me
but I'm in a cop car so they let me be
she had a wild look in her eyes
she said honey I'm takin' you home
well all I can really ask
is treat me right
and I guarantee
I will stay the night
I said hell yeah
you can take me home
I said hell yeah
you can take me home

well she left me a note
said she's running late
and she'd try me on the phone
but it's 3 am
that phone ain't ringin'
and fellas
she ain't comin' home
so I rolled me up a fat one
listened to bb king
while I sit here all alone
but it's 5 am
that phone ain't ringin'
and she ain't comin' home
well I knew she was too fine for me
and -my friends tell me
I shoulda known
the sun is coming up
that phone ain't ringin'
and she ain't comin' home
that's all right I found a good woman

Nothing But Love

I will lift you up
as high as I can
I will give you everything
everything I am
I will call you on the telephone
and a drive you up a wall
usin' nothin but love
nothin but love
I got all my hopes and dreams
invested in you
and we're gonna live a life
before we're through
I got all this love to give
that a broken heart can spare
we got a second chance to love
and I will see you there
I got one thing on my mind
tellin' everybody that I know
or maybe just met
that I will lift you up
as high as I can
and that's a pretty safe bet
using nothing but love
I will lift you up
using nothing but love
I will give you everything
using nothing but love
I got one thing on my mind...
I will lift you up
as high as I can
I will give you everything
everything I can
using nothing but love

well how you been
it's been a long time
and I guess I know
people been talkin
but as far as I can find
I haven't lost my mind
but between me and you
I'm just talkin'
well it's good to see
you're doing well
and you look good
and happier than most
it's been a little rough
and times sure got tough
but their mistake
was in thinking
I was toast
I feel like
gettin' lost
in the eyes of another
and falling head
over heels
in love
and having drinks
and laughs
and forgetting all this crap
with some help
from some friends
from above
and I will pray for you
that you find that special someone
to put up with all your crap
indefinitely
cuz it won't be me
all I'm saying
is I wish you well
and think of the good times
while you burn in hell
And I've been thinking
you may be right
but the only way you'll see me
is if I drop by for a light

Texas Heat
03:54

|
I've been sweatin' all outside
and lord knows I have tried
but I keep workin'
and I long for the moment
that that cool cool air
is blowin' in my face
but this air is like an oven
and even a summer breeze is
gone without a trace
you win again there texas
ain't no coolin' down
this texas heat
I can see the heat
comin off the road
like my food
in a hot iron pan
but the waters running low
and the traffic is running slow
workin' for the man
and there ain't no shade for miles
and I'm doin'
just the best I can
you win again there texas
ain't no coolin' down
this texas heat
And I used to dream of moving
way up north
with all my kin
and I long for the moment
that that cool cool air
blowin' in my face
but this air is like an oven
and even a summer breeze is
gone without a trace
you win again there texas
ain't no coolin' down
this texas heat

well I know everybody walks a different path
and it seems mine zig zags all the time
And I've been hungry and homeless
and out there on the street
trying to fix this mess
I got myself in
but I don't mind
if you wanna hang with me
cuz I tell you what
it sure feels good to be free
cuz I ain't workin for the man
and it never was the plan
cuz I'd rather play my songs
the best I can
well times they change and I met the one for me
and I tell you what it sure feels good to be free
and she knows my gritty ways
and she's still gonna stay
we're trying to fix this mess
I got myself in
and I don't mind
if you wanna hang with me
cuz I tell you what
it sure feels good to be free
cuz I ain't workin for the man
and it never was the plan
cuz I'd rather sing my songs
the best I can
and stand on my two feet

Morning Light

I know everybody
knows the trouble
I been gettin myself in
but the ladies say
I'm doing alright
for the shape I'm in
and they know I've been
running around
playing' hard
stayin' out all night
when they see me gettin' home
totin' sunglasses
in the morning light
I see the people
want a good time
and a good time was had by all
even if that good time
means when I get home
I might have to crawl
and they know I've been
running around
playing' hard
stayin' out all night
when they see me gettin' home
totin' sunglasses
in the morning light
gonna need my shades
in the morning light

Sorry It Took So Long
04:40
|

|
I got a few things on my mind
I got a problem with the way things been
and the only reason I can find
is all the trouble she got me in
but I know things will be alright
no matter what it is she say
cuz when she stayed out all night
I knew I'd be on my way
now things are lookin up
and I knew it wouldn't take too long
all I had left was that old guitar
but I got a brand new song
I saw she called me the other day
and her message said she was wrong
but I knew in my heart she wasn't meant for me
I'm just sorry it took so long

One Red Rose
05:04

I wonder if you heard
that story about the cowboy
who never stayed longer
than a single night
he'd rather ride the range
and sleep under the stars
than hangin' at saloons
to drink and fight
well I heard
he had enough of everyone
cuz he'd rather be ridin'
under the sun
seemed the ladies liked him
but why do you suppose
he would always leave
one red rose
Do you remember
when that cowgirl headed north
she moved to montana
I heard they fell in love
they lived in a cabin
they could still ride the range
and sometimes sleep outside
to see the stars above
I heard
they had enough of everyone
cuz they'd rather be ridin'
under the sun
they found the one just like them
they're the one they chose
and they would always leave
two red roses
they'd always leave together
on the range
they'd always leave together
and they'd leave behind
two red roses
they found the one just like them
they're the one they chose
and they would always leave
two red roses
