Let Me In

Say it ain't true baby, Say it ain't so
I can see you standing there, Hiding behind that door
I may have been wrong, I thought I lived here too
That girl meant nothing to me and I was always thinking of you
So baby, Let me in, and hear what I'm saying
Can't remember where I've been but I know where I'm staying
My Four Year Bender baby, just wasn't long enough
Don't leave me out, don't run out the back door
Let me in
One more chance baby, can't you hear my plea
I might be drunk and blind, but I can clearly see
That I may have been wrong, I thought you loved me too
Everything's gonna be alright, here's what you gots to do
So baby, Let me in, and hear what I'm saying
Can't remember where I've been but I know where I'm staying
My Four Year Bender baby, just wasn't long enough
Don't leave me out, don't run out the back door
Let me in
Hey now my pretty baby
Don't look at me that way
There's nothing you can say
That will make me go away
So my baby won't you let me in

New Orleans Lament
02:57
|
|||
|
Lake Pontchartrain and hurricanes are calling my name
Down in New Orleans
That little girl won't haunt me anymore
Unless she's door to door in New Orleans
You know I love my city by the bay, I can't afford to stay
So I'm going to New Orleans
Gonna find me my future ex-wife
And enjoy life in New Orleans
I got go, I got to go
I know there's got to be more in New Orleans
I got Rebirth on the brain and a Dirty Dozen claims to fame
Old friends I need to meet in New Orleans
They won't know my name or see the pain of what was left behind
When I came to New Orleans
You know I love my city by the bay, I can't afford to stay
So I'm going to New Orleans
Gonna find me my future ex-wife
And enjoy life in New Orleans
I got go, I got to go
I know there's got to be more in New Orleans

Hey Miss Bartender will you pour me a drink
I've got nowhere else to go
And you look kinda like my baby back home
Miss Bartender I'm tired of sleeping alone
Hey Miss Bartender won't you please take me home
I won't break but I might bend
Cuz you look kinda like my baby back home
Miss Bartender, can't we just pretend
Pretend that I'm your lonesome cowboy
Pretend that you're the girl of my dream
Pretend that I'm already home, and you're my girl
Lying next to me
Hey Miss Bartender can I pour your a dream
They don't come cheap but it's free for you
Cuz you look so much like my baby back home
Miss bartender, may all your dreams come true
Pretend that I'm your lonesome cowboy
Pretend that you're the girl of my dream
Pretend that I"m already home, and you're my girl
Lying next to me

Talkin' About
04:04

It's 7am and I'm back again, 500 club with some brand new friends
One more round and I'm heading out that door
I hate to be a bore, but I can't take anymore
One more time girl you know I swore
That I'd be long gone, long gone.
That's what I'm talkin' bout
The girl of my dreams ain't all that she seemed
How could anybody, be so mean?
I'm begging and I'm pleading but she's just walking away
Now it's seven in the morning and I'm giving my fair warning
If I see her again it's gonna be the end
Dont' know what I'm gonna do this time
That's what I'm talkin' bout
I got nothing to lose but this bottle of booze
I'm gonna get my ass back to Santa Cruz
Hit the boardwalk and ride my troubles away
Now it's seven in the morning and I'm giving my fair warning
If I see her again it's gonna be the end
Dont' know what I'm gonna do this time
That's what I'm talkin' bout

Southern Smile
03:02

Hello my friend, you're a sight for sore eyes
I swear we've met somewhere before
Your friendly face isn't wasted on my
Cuz I've been away too long
The wind and the rain couldn't wash away
The southern smile on her face
But the mountain air got wasted on me
When she took my breath away
Becky I won't be here tomorrow
You know I can't stay
I'll be gone, but right now I'm here today
Becky I'll be thinking 'bout you tomorrow
Midnight moon and those midwest eyes
Sometimes seemed one and same
But the mountain air got wasted on me
When she took my breath away
Becky I won't be here tomorrow
You know I can't stay
I'll be gone, but right now I'm here today
Becky I'll be thinking 'bout you tomorrow

I'm goin' fishin' mama don't look for me no more
I'm goin' fishin' mama don't look for me no more
Don't you bother knockin', don't bother knockin' on my door
Ain't walking slowly, no need to be a man
Ain't walking slowly, no need to be a man
I'm kicking out the front door runnin' just as fast as I can
These city lights they burn too much for me
These city lights they burn too much for me
They've shown me more than I ever wanted to see
I'm goin' fishin' mama don't look for me no more
I'm goin' fishin' mama don't look for me no more
Don't you bother knockin', don't bother knockin' on my door

What's Good For You
03:00

Hold me darlin', just don't hold me too long
One thing I'll tell you, ain't feeling too strong
If you know what's good for you
And you care what's good for me
You'll let me go
I see you walking, I see myself running away
You give me that look now, what more can I say
If you know what's good for you
And you care what's good for me
You'll let me go
So many times before now woman
I've been swept away
It's not my fault
What can I say woman
The feeling don't want to stay
Hold me darlin', just don't hold me too long
One thing I'll tell you, ain't feeling too strong
If you know what's good for you
And you care what's good for me
You'll let me go

Leaving Today
03:53
|

|
She's cooking breakfast like she did just yesterday
She's got something on her mind
He don't see a difference as he kisses her on the cheek
He doesn't know he just kissed her goodbye
She's leaving today, She's going away
She's taking one last look around and she's leaving today
She's got to go, and he won't even know
If there was anything else to say, cuz she's leaving today
Another winter is over and the snow is almost gone
She's thinking about that California sunshine
She can't help but thinking she's been standing still too long
She's ready to leave it all behind
She's leaving today, She's going away
She's taking one last look around and she's leaving today
She's got to go, and he won't even know
If there was anything else to say, cuz she's leaving today
He's drinking his dinner and he's staring at the door
Crumpled letter in his hand
His head is aching, he don't want to think about it anymore
There's only one thing he understands
She left him today, She went away
She took one last look around and she left him today
She had to go, and he don't even know
If there is anything else to say, cuz she left him today

Rainy Day
03:47
|

|
I'll go right on living without you, you know I'll be fine
It's easier just thinking about you, than trying to read your mind
I hope you'll always try and remember, I played your favorite song
Till you couldn't take it anymore, I hope it doesn't take long
For the skies to open up again,
Cuz I'll know where i stand then
On the rainy day
I put on my headphones, I'll walk with a purpose, so you don't see
The way I've been looking over my shoulder, hoping you're looking at me
On this rainy day, I played your favorite song
But for someone else to hear, I hope it doesn't take long
For the skies to open up again,
Cuz I'll know where i stand then
On the rainy day

Sit and Wait
02:58
|

|
Forgive me if I get carried away
I don't understand it when you say
That you're feeling lonely
I'll just sit and wait for another day
There ain't much that i wouldn't give away
To finally hear you say you'll be my lady
And you don't want to be lonely
I'll just sit and wait for another day
Sit and wait just like I always do
My heart might be dragging along
But I'll gladly give it to you
I've been holding back so long
You know it's easy just to sing another love song
About being lonely
I'll just sit and wait for another day.
Sit and wait just like I always do
My heart might be dragging along
But I'll gladly give it to you
Forgive me if I get carried away
I don't understand it when you say
That you're feeling lonely
I'll just sit and wait for another day

Wine and Roses

One more cup of coffee and I'll be on my way
Seems I've worn out my welcome this time
Please won't you pour that coffee slow, cuz I'd sure like to stay
Stay just a few minutes more
I swear I'll bring you roses, and you can bring me wine
I will say it's all your fault, and you can say it's mine
It'll be just like old times again
If it's my chance for one last dance
I'll do it all over again
Oh how you rolled me over
I swear I'll bring you roses, and we'll be just fine
I swear I'll bring you roses, and you can bring me wine
Please don't show me the evidence
I rather I didn't know
If there's a good time to show me, I hope so
One more cup of coffee and I'll be on my way
Seems I've worn out my welcome this time
Please won't you pour that coffee slow, cuz I'd sure like to stay
Stay just a few minutes more
I swear I'll bring you roses, and we'll be just fine
I swear I'll bring you roses, and you can bring me wine
