Heard The Rumour
04:28

I heard the rumour
and it seems like I
heard everything
she had a secret
and it turns out
she was born to sing
when they first told me
they thought it might be
you lost your mind
they thought the news would hurt
but it turns out now that
I don't mind
I heard the music
and the music got me
feelin right
I left a message that
I don't think I'll be
home tonight
She made it clear
to everybody she was
talkin to
I was the last to know
I'm movin on and
we are through
and I won't have any drama
if I don't know what it is she do
I don't consider this a tragedy
cuz I'm better off right here with you
I heard the rumour
and it seems like I've
heard everything

Somebody Said
04:35

|
somebody said
you were on your way
you might find time
some time today
they heard your talk
from a little bird
so don't you waste
another word
somebody said
what they heard
they got you cold
and word for word
and you come round
like all is cool
so don't you play
like I'm a fool

Stayed Out All Night
06:27
|
|||
|
they don't tell you
when they're cute and small
and pure and smell like angels
the truth won't set you free
because that day will come
that you will have to
teach 'em how to drive
and pray that they survive
your fading memory
glosses over so many of the facts
and the facts ain't comin' back
because my worst
fear of all
is that they might meet somebody
just like me
and I pray they flee the scene
we let 'em fly into this madness
and we clutched at those straws
with all our might
when they stayed out all night
a few helpful tips
are the best
that I could find
they're gonna be alright
but you will lose your mind
and you will try
to cover any situation
that will only worsen
upon graduation
after thorough research
in the finest labs and think tanks
with a plus or minus of ten
for accuracy
we can only determine
they're gonna be alright
but you will lose your mind

Woke Up Late
03:21
|
|||
|
I got nothin but an empty worn out wallet
and an attitude that really ain't that great
supposed to be on my way to work my life away
that didn't work
cuz I woke up late
And I'm goin' drinkin
and I thought you'd like to blow off work with me
cuz I been thinkin'
we get hammered cheap as shit at applebees
and that sounds just fine with me
we're goin' drinkin
because I woke up late
I got one thing on my mind for tomorrow
I am really going to try to get to work
but I heard roadhouse has some tasty good white russians
and I thought we'd like to go and take a look
I'll be smokin at the bar like a professional
like retirement has treated me pretty well
but if I take another sick day to go get wasted with you
I swear to God
I'll burn in hell
And I'm goin' drinkin
and I thought you'd like to blow off work with me
cuz I been thinkin'
get hammered cheap as shit at applebees
and that sound just fine with me
we're goin' drinkin
because I woke up late

well she's crazy
crazy for hangin' out with me
and I ain't wrong
yeah she's crazy
crazy for lovin' me
all night long
well she's crazy
and that's just fine
fine by me
well she's crazy
crazy about everything
and her love for all
yes she's crazy
she make me feel
ten feet tall
(cue the Godzilla destroying Tokyo sounds)
she brought insanity
spreadin' it all around
and that's just fine
fine by me
yes she's crazy
crazy for loving me
like she do
And I may be crazy
and off my rocker
cuz I love her too
and that's just fine
fine by me

Victory
03:44
|
|||
|
I consider it a victory I'm still alive
and a going strong
all my troubles are going away
so I wrote me a song
It'll have this story I will tell
how I gave it all away
and it didn't take long
I will bet my bottom dollar
I'll be working to the bone
till the day I die
and you know they got it just the same
nearly every day
as you or I
It'll have this story I will tell
how I gave it all away
and it didn't take long
I consider it a victory I'm still alive
and a going strong
all my troubles are going away
so I wrote me a song
I consider it a victory I'm still alive
and a going strong
all my troubles are going away
so I wrote me a song
I consider it a victory I'm still alive
and a going strong

Sweet As Honey
04:10
|
|||
|
they said she's
sweet as honey
and hotter than a stolen car
but ain't it funny
cuz I was just sittin' here
alone at the bar
but I don't need the help
and I don't need the complications
not looking for company
but I appreciate the invitation
they said she's
sweet as honey
and hotter than a stolen car
yes she is
she said she
just got back
and told me she has
changed her ways
and everything that happened
those were different days
well I don't need the help
and I don't need the complications
not looking for company
but I appreciate the invitation
yes I do
they said she's
sweet as honey
and hotter than a stolen car

well I don't know where I'm goin;
but I do know how it is I'm gonna get there
well green means go
and lord you drive too slow
and my hemi charger say
it's time for me to go
and I'll be so gentle
as I pull out front
hear this hemi straight pipe roar
it'll hit you in the gut
lord please green means go
and lord you drive too slow
I got 390 horses
that need to be set free
can't you feel
what's going on inside me?

well my bags are packed
and I bought myself
a fine cup of coffee
the only thing to do
is to drive it all straight through
to california
you may have said something
but I wasn't listening
and I apologize for my distant
attitude
but you might realize
based on my tshirt size
it had nothing to do with you
well my bags are packed
and I bought myself
a fine cup of coffee
the only thing to do
is to drive it straight through
to california

On My Way
03:51
|
|||
|
well I know for sure
somethings going on
and if she's wondering where I am
well I'm gone
cuz I sure don't have a reason to stay
so I might as well best be on my way
she got all her good intentions
and all my broken heart
stashed away
and I ain't gonna cry
but it looks like a good time
to walk away
there ain't a whole lot left to say
but I best be on my way
because I can clearly see
the writing on the wall
and it's clear that she don't
care about me at all
well I know for sure
that I have had enough
well winter came and went
and times were tough
and I guess I never really cared
all that much
cuz I didn't even break a sweat
when things got rough
she got all her good intentions
and all my broken heart
stashed away
