FEVER

(CHORUS)

I got a fever shakin' in my bones

I got a fever flowin' through my blood

I've got a fever and I've never felt more alone

Breakin' out in a cold sweat

Just tryin' to drift off to sleep

Hands shakin', heart breakin'

Soul trying not to wheep

REPEAT CHORUS

If I had a friend I'd find a phone

If I was a rock I'd be a rolling stone

Throw me a line from over that wall

Won't someone answer to my call

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT FIRST VERSE

REPEAT CHORUS

SINNERMAN BLUES

(CHORUS)

Tell me where you gonna go

Tell me whatchya gonna do

When the lord comes a callin'

The harder it comes the easier it goes

You gotta keep the devil from grabbin' your toes

Don't write me a letter, don't sing me a song

Well you keep on makin' a short story long

REPEAT CHORUS

I can't recall half of the lives that I've lived

If I did any wrong I hope I'm forgived

I've never killed but to eat I stole

God have mercy upon my soul

REPEAT CHORUS

In this life you do what you can

We're in this together the brotherhood of man

Will you stand tall or will you run in shame

The devil might have your soul

But we know your name

REPEAT CHORUS

TROUBLE

Well I rambled and I gambled

I rolled my way through this town

Then I saw her she was the daughter

Of the wealthiest man around

Well she's trouble, trouble

She's trouble when she lays her dollar down

I took off my hat on my lap she sat

And we drank away the wee hours of the morn

Blue as the deep sea her eyes deceived me

Though I've dreamt of her since the day I was born

She's trouble, trouble

She's made a name for herself all over town

Her father caught word, he spoke a curse word

I'll kill that son of a bitch 'fore the day is through

Well he grabbed his gun n' tried hard to run

To kill the man messin' round with his Mary-Lou

But his heart stopped beatin', his breath receedin'

Till he died all alone cursing fate

I didn't wish to kill him I just aimed to scare em'

It was only temporary hate

But his lovely daughter she aimed to slaughter

The lover that displeased her pa

She grabbed a knife and she took my life

Her smiling face was the last thing I saw

Well she's trouble, ya she's trouble

She was trouble since the day she came around

Well she's trouble, trouble

Well she laid me six feet underground

EVERYTHING WILL REMAIN

Sure as night comes a callin'

On that lonesome southern breeze

It seems this twist of fate

Has got me on my knees

Behind every mask there's a face of pain

It'll leave only to come back again

Just like the summer rain

Everything will remain X2

The flowers that did bloom

Have now withered away

But they will rise again

'Tis the only way

Behind every mask there's a face of pain

It'll leave only to come back again

Just like the gentle rain

Everything will remain X2

When I hear the bells-a-ringin'

I look up to the sky

To find peace in a moment

To catch the children in the rye

Behind every mask there's a face of pain

It'll leave only to come back again

Just like the gentle rain

Everything will remain X2

NEVER FADE

And my words just start to ring

Like an ancient burning thing

I can't wait for tomorrow

To see where it will lead

Make sure to take heed

We must leave this crazy sorrow

(CHORUS)

I could make you through the night

Help to make ya feel right

But there are no stars tonight

They're hidden out of sight

Staying here for a little while

Just so I can see your smile

I hope it never fades

Why can't I make no sense, it ain't coincidence

That keeps on re-appearing

Hear the madness in the hall

As we make small talk and all

Oh don't you know you're so endearing

REPEAT CHORUS

SEVEN DAYS OF RAIN

My memory is fadin' away

I just don't wanna work today

Don't know why I woke up in this mood

Just another dream left unpersued

The rain ain't stopped for seven days

It's clouded my judgement

Made me question my ways

There are things I could say

I just don't know if I can

I got everything it would take to be your man

So tell me now tell me sweet tell me true

That you're dreamin' of me cause I'm dreaming of you

Deep inside you know how you feel

I'm gettin' tired of tryna reinvent the wheel

Look me in the eyes so I'll know

Gimme just one more kiss before you go

I gotta feel your naked body next to mine

And let our love conquer the mind
