BELLE DAISY

I'm a hard walkin' and I've been a mean talkin'

Now them weary blues they killin' me again

Ain't growing cold just gettin' old

Heart feelin' every pain

 

You caught the first train out of town

So I couldn't let you down no more

Without you there is no glue

To fasten to the core

 

(CHORUS)

Daisy, oh Daisy

Give your answer from the start

Daisy I'm half crazy

From all the love in my heart

I got for you

 

The way I'm living there's too much sinnin'

While in the fire I do burn

I try to speak but am too weak

With no place else to turn

 

No true love I do have

But I can not shed a tear

It ain't right being alone tonight

Wake me up anywhere but here

REPEAT CHORUS

Could it be I can not see

This pain inside of you

It might be rude but you intrude

On everything and thought that I do

 

And in dreams I see you walk along

Singin' to yourself

Some long old forgotten song

You found upon my shelf

REPEAT CHORUS

 

CONCRETE JUNGLE

In a concrete jungle I can not live

You have nothing to offer and I have so much to give

Live in your city I'll stay in my town

Where the sky starts to dance when that mighty sun goes down

 

Take a good look for I might not be back

When the trains don't run and you carry your own sack

All your mighty possessions of things that you find

They should never out weigh the mass of yer mind

 

In a concrete jungle trolls are your best friend

Zombies walk the streets I guess death is not the end

In a concrete jungle I'll never be free

So unless you come along tis I you'll never see again

 

YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME (WHEN I'M DEAD AND GONE)

Well you're the first one to say you want to fly

But you ain't got the strength

And with you it takes a little more

Than blind faith

No I can't wait not even for just one more day

It's all over now except the getaway

 

(Chorus)

Sayin' ooohhheee

You're gonna miss my favorite songs

Sayin' ooohhheee

You're gonna miss me

When I'm dead and gone

 

Well I ain't gonna try to read your mind

Like I have before

The cards are dealt

This time I'm keeping score

Got this crazy feelin' I don't love you anymore

You ain't my cup of tea unsweet Elenore

REPEAT CHORUS

 

PLAYED THE FOOL

I got a lot of lonesome friends

And they all do what they do

We're all headin' for the end

Doin' anything to get us through

 

(CHORUS)

I've been mean

And you've been cruel

We played the fool

You've been mean

And I've been cruel

We played the fool

 

Got to get back to the start

Find the freedom that was there

Go on and break you crazy heart

I for one do not care

REPEAT CHORUS

Why was this bitter love

So sweet to the taste

I see the light shine up above

And I wonder where it's based

REPEAT CHORUS

I guess fate had the better hand

It was written in the cards

Just can't seem to understand

I didn't think it'd be this hard

REPEAT CHORUS

 

WILD BLUE YONDER

In the wild blue yonder

A lily grows for my love

I try to nurture her

As pure as the sun above

 

(CHORUS)

But that's alright

That's the way it goes

But that's alright

As long as she shows

With her sparkles and pearls

Sayin' she's my girl

Oh just as long as she knows

 

I am but a wordsmith

And my words don't count till I'm dead

If I were to speak them

Would she understand what's said

REPEAT CHORUS

In the wild blue yonder

A lily grows for my love

I try to nurture her

As pure as the sun above

REPEAT CHORUS

 

L.B'S BLUES

Same old story grey town broke my heart X2

Gotta pick up all the pieces n' go back to the start

 

Got a bunch on my mind and I'm trying to relate

Got a lot on my mind and I'm trying to negotiate

My feelings for you I'm trying to keep straight

 

Same old story grey town broke my heart X2

Shattered all the pieces left me with no start

 

What can I say I'm craving only you

What can I say when I'm craving only you

No other bar whore will ever do

 

It might be yer eyes it might be your face

Might be your arms, might be your face

Your legs are kickin' all over the place

 

You got my tongue droppin saliva on the floor X2

I'll take that baby do her 3,6,7, 80 times more

 

Well a grey town woman she be good for L.B.

Yea - Yea

Come on back it would mean so much to me

 

YOU AND ME

It's been such a short time

But I seen the light in your eyes

Shining just for thee

 

There's no reason or rhyme

Yet you can't deny

This feelin' kinda sets you free

You and me, you and me

 

(CHORUS)

So come back around baby any ol time

And I'll let you in

Never a struggle or fight

It's pure delight

It's an electrical sight we can't see

You and me, you and me

 

I drank up the ocean

It didn't keep me afloat

Through the misery

 

But then I had a notion

Of which I wrote

For the memory of you and me

You and me

REPEAT CHORUS

 

DOUBLE-BACK

I swear that I've seen you

Somewhere other than dreams

Some other place before

For whatever it means

 

So tear it apart

And take what you can get

You might got a lot but you

Ain't seen nothing yet

 

(CHORUS)

Don't betray yourself

Lest you get lost along the way

If you double-back now

You gonna get double-crossed someday

 

From the beginning

I smelt evil in your blood

You needed a ride

And I rode like a stud

 

But when I came to see you

Ya had a butcher in your stall

If you already had him

Then honey why did you call

REPEAT CHORUS

What could I tell you

Ain't got much to say

I'm in the mood

And you're in a womanly way

 

Fire up the furnace

I'll put a log in yer stove

We'll cook up something good

And baste it with love

REPEAT CHORUS

 

AN OLD GUITAR, THIS SONG AND ME

When I get to feeling how I'm feelin'

I drown myself in liquid misery

Sometimes there ain't a hope in hell

For an old guitar, this song and me

 

If you're looking for a stranger

Then honey babe I'll set you free

I ain't got much left to offer

Just an old guitar, this song and me

 

This song's been with me since the beginning

I even raised it as my own

And I can walk while I'm singing

Even if I'm walking all alone

 

When you're lookin' in the places

Where you think true love should be

Tell me what are you expecting

From and old guitar, this song and me

 

There are things I can't explain

If you don't believe me wait and see

The only things that will be left standing

Are and old guitar, this song and me
