Love & Money
I always said I could live without money as long as I had love
I always said I could live without money as long as I had love
Pennies would fall from heaven, we would keep warm by makin’ love
We spent what little we had and never looked back
We spent what little we had and never looked back
Then the bills came rollin’ in, like a sucker punch to the back of the head
80 hours a week & no sleep, and you’re sittin’ at home
80 hours a week & no sleep, and you’re sittin’ at home
Now we have money, but no love honey, what the hell happened to my happy little home?
Now I know what it’s like to have love, but I need money too
Now I know what it’s like to have love, but I need money too
If you don’t get off your ass and get a job, I might have to walk away from you

Drop Into My Downbeat
What they say about love is it makes you blind
You don’t think twice about falling in line
You don’t mind the things that would normally bother
But I’m here to tell you now, I’ve done my time brother
Won’t you drop into my downbeat baby
Won’t you drop into my downbeat baby
Won’t you drop into my
Well I’m stuck on you and there’s no doubt
I’ll be around and we’ll work it all out
We’ve done the years and we’ve walked the line
But I’ve been marchin’ to your drum a very long time
Won’t you drop into my downbeat baby
Won’t you drop into my downbeat baby
Won’t you drop into my
Oh Man leads woman and she falls in line
Tradition dictates your very male mind
I’m fed up, I’ve got a purpose too
Not always just about your point of view
Won’t you drop into my downbeat baby
Won’t you drop into my downbeat baby
Won’t you drop into my

Quit You
Chorus:
I’ve got to quit you, oh I’ve got to quit you, babe
How I wish you were good for me but far from truth as it can be so
I’ve got to quit you
I quit dinkin’ coffee, my heart was racing too fast
I quit eatin’ chocolate, it was goin’ straight to my ass
But sittin’ around pining for you makes me just as heavy you know
And every time you look at me oh my heart just might explode
Chorus
I quit television, it was messing with my reality
I quit eating spicy food, it was burning my heart badly
But oh I burn so hot for you, that reality is danger my dear
Not your touch & the fireworks but the ring of fire that I fear
Chorus
I quit drinkin’ whisky, it was makin’ me act stupid
I quit smokin’ cigarettes, those damn things were gonna do me in but
Might as well start up again, give me a bottle & a pack of smokes too
I swear this desire is gonna kill me before they do
Chorus

Trick of the moon
I should have known that something wasn’t right when I couldn’t see the moon
I should have known that something wasn’t right when I couldn’t see the moon
Still I kept on ridin’ kept on goin’ I couldn’t get there too soon
Oh I got inside the club and the music was startin’ to get hot
He was starin’ right at me from the stage and I was startin’ to get hot
Then Cupid’s tricky little arrow flew Oh! I knew I was caught
Oh the crowd was jumpin, the air was sweatin’
His guitar was swingin’, and my heart was pumpin’
And I knew it was fruitless but I didn’t have the will to look away
I had to step outside take a breath get my head on straight
I had to step outside take a breath get my head on straight
And the moon came out smilin’ like a cat asked if she was too late
I said yes you’re too late can you please take this arrow from my heart
Said I got it bad Sister Moon can you please take this arrow from my heart
She said all in good time little girl, I just wanna watch you squirm for a bit
Oh the moon was laughin, oh the moon was giggling
And I was fumin’ at the trick she was playin’
She said I can’t help you sister, you gotta do this one yourself

Stone Walking
I got one stone in my left hand, one stone in my right
And I keep on walking forward watching my back for high tide
I got one stone in my left hand, one stone in my right
And I keep on walking forward watching my back for high tide
Oh… watching for high tide
Got a wet stone in my left hand, a dry stone in my right
And I need a drink of water but all I see is wine
Got a wet stone in my left hand, a dry stone in my right
And I need a drink of water but all I see is wine
Oh… all I see is whisky & wine
Got one stone in my left hand, two stones in my right
You say my mind is off a little bit but my balance is just fine
Got a live stone in my left hand, a dead stone in my right
My soul is in my pocket and my feet keep walking, keep walking
Got a live stone in my left hand, a dead stone in my right
My soul is in my pocket and my feet keep walking, keep walking
My feet, keep walking, my feet, keep walking, my feet keep walking, walking well, they just keep walking...

Worst Kind of Lonely
Somethings happened, you and I both know
Whatever drew us together seems like 1000 years ago
It was never hard to fill our time together, it was never hard to love each other
Then he wedding bells rang, I had no idea they would hurt me so
You claimed your independence, your absence told me where I stood
Our lives grew out separate and together we could never find the good
Our bed is warm from my slumberin’ but the fire is long long gone
Even the moon weeps over us wondering what went wrong
It’s the worst kind of lonely, together and lonely,
Lonely, so lonely from being with you
I have no doubt you’d stay til’ the forever end
Oh but it’s killing me that you can’t even treat me like your friend
I know you would never step out on me, in that way you would never do me wrong
But you leave me wishing you’d give me a reason to be gone
Just give me a reason to be gone
It’s the worst kind of lonely, together and lonely,
Lonely, so lonely from being with you

Wanderin’
Tonight I was so lonely I called the weather & time just to hear somebody talk
Tonight I was so lonely I called the weather & time just to hear somebody talk
That voice was so so cold, had to go outside, go shake it off
Tonight I was so desperate I went down to the grocery, when bein’ alone was just too much
Tonight I was so desperate I went down to the grocery, bein’ alone was just too much
Bumped into some poor soul on purpose just to feel a little touch
Chorus:
I’m wanderin’, I’m wanderin’ around inside my own broken heart
I’m wanderin’, I’m wanderin’ around inside my own broken heart
Loved you once, loved you twice, (damnit boy) you’ve about near torn me apart
Tonight my heart was so heavy, nowhere to go but to the bar, find someone to talk to
Tonight my heart was so heavy, nowhere to go but to the bar, find someone to talk to
There were no answers there, only headache & heartache like I already knew
Tonight my heart was so broken, brought myself down to sit by the riverside
Tonight my heart was so broken, brought myself down to sit by my Sister Platte’s riverside
Sister Platte was singin’ her own song of lonely, it felt good to hear her sing so sad
chorus
