Angelique
04:42
|
|||
|
She’s up in a plane
Floating somewhere
In a golden spotted midnight sky
Maybe reading a book
Kicked back in her chair
Or messing with that little light
There’s a little bit less to do
There’s a little bit less of a spark
There’s a little bit less of me
Here when she’s gone
My Angelique
Sittin’ up late, waitin’ for
Angelique
To get back
My Angelique
Sittin’ up late, waitin’ for
Angelique
To get back
Home to me
When she gets home
We’re gonna sleep in
Maybe wake up around dinner time
For coffee and eggs
And pancakes from scratch
Maybe followed by a bubble bath
There’s a little bit less to do
There’s a little bit less of a spark
There’s a little bit less of me
Here when she’s gone
My Angelique
Sittin’ up late, waitin’ for
Angelique
To get back
My Angelique
Sittin’ up late, waitin’ for
Angelique
To get back
Home to me
The next time she goes
I’m going too
To make sure she safely arrives
We’ll go to lunch
or visit with friends
but we’ll wake up with each other then
There’s a little bit less to do
There’s a little bit less of a spark
There’s a little bit less of me
Here when she’s gone
My Angelique
Sittin’ up late, waitin’ for
Angelique
To get back
My Angelique
Sittin’ up late, waitin’ for
Angelique
To get back
Home to me

Bad Memories
03:14
|
|||
|
Whenever life, gets you down
And there aint’ one friendly face in town
Take a step back, look away
Think a minute before you say
Something that you’ll regret later
Words fly fast
But bad memories last
Forever and ever
Forever, ever and ever
So you want good ones
Don’t go thinking about bad stuff, no
Don’t start runnin’ before you walk
Don’t only be comprised of talk and talk and talk
Living now, thinking straighter
Don’t justify that bad behavior
Don’t say something you’ll regret later
Words fly fast
But bad memories last
Forever and ever
Forever, forever and ever and ever
So you want good ones, yeah
Don’t go thinking about bad stuff, no
When the wind blows in your face
And all the people round you look away in shame
And everybody that you know
Just quit picking up the telephone
Don’t say something you’ll regret later
Words fly fast
But bad memories last
Forever and ever
Forever, forever and ever and ever
So you want good ones, yeah
Don’t go thinking about bad stuff, no, no, no, no, no

Baby You're Bad
03:33
|
|||
|
Everywhere you go, you’re 10 or 12 minutes late
And you can sure dish it out, but you never really take, anything
You’re a daytime sleuth, but you look like an innocent girl
Baby you’re bad
Oh you’re so bad
You know you’re bad
But I knew it from the start
And it kinda turns me on
And it kinda makes me mad
And it makes me think that you’re crazy
But I keep going back
Everything you say can be taken in more than one way
But exactly what you’re mad at, you will never say
You’re a primitive girl, and you fight the primitive way
Baby you’re bad
Oh you’re so bad
You know you’re bad
But I knew it from the start
And it kinda turns me on
And it kinda makes me mad
And it makes me think that you’re crazy
But I keep going back
Everything you wear has got to be, perfectly, in place
And you’re a devil in the bed, burning up the linens in lace
Imaginary princess, from a far off place
Baby you’re bad
Oh you’re so bad
You know you’re bad
But I knew it from the start
And it kinda turns me on
And it kinda makes me mad
And it makes me think that you’re crazy
But I keep going back

Here Comes The Light
03:58
|
|||
|
I cannot wait, for fortune to turn
I cannot hold on, without being burned
Like a fine piece of lace
Packed away, put up for another day
You know I cannot hold back, hold back, hold back, any longer
Here comes the light
Cross the horizon
Here comes the light
Warm and inviting
Here comes the light
Shining down on me
I will not talk, just to listen to words,
I will not hold out, for any return
Gonna roll away the stone
Oh I’m coming home
You know I cannot hold back, hold back, hold back, and longer
Here comes the light
Cross the horizon
Here comes the light
Warm and inviting
Here comes the light
Shining down on me
I used to wake up, and just lay in bed
With far too many thoughts, aching in my head
Darkness is strong, but
Here comes the light
Cross the horizon
Here comes the light
Warm and inviting
Here comes the light, here it comes, oh here comes the light
Here comes the light
Cross the horizon
Here comes the light
Warm and inviting
Here comes the light
Shining down on me

A Place To Hide
03:31
|
|||
|
Old Car, sucking up the gas
Mortgage, paying out the ass
Rush hour, traffic backing up
Two jobs, hard to make a buck
Oh don’t, get caught up in the stress and the strain
You know, that we all need some time away
To keep from going insane
Everyone needs a place to hide
If only for a moment, for a little downtime
Everyone needs a place to go
To kick off your shoes, relax your feet
To see what’s coming on TV
Headlines, only talk about the bad
Tax hikes, making people mad
Bills, Bills, heavy on the mind
Rug rats, fighting all the time
Oh don’t, get caught up in the stress and the strain
You know, that we all need some time away
To keep from going insane
Everyone needs a place to hide
If only for a moment, for a little downtime
Everyone needs a place to go
To kick off your shoes, relax your feet
To see what’s coming on TV
A/C, isn’t very cold
Broken sink, wasn’t very old
Healthcare, doesn’t really care
Bailouts, totally unfair
Everyone needs a place to hide
If only for a moment, for a little downtime
Everyone needs a place to go
To kick off your shoes, relax your feet
To see what’s coming on TV

Our Love Don't Go
04:26
|
|||
|
You don’t wear red lipstick as often as you used to
And I’ve put on a few too many pounds
What’s going on with us?
I never would have imagined
Our love don’t go anymore
I can see it in your sad brown eyes
Our love don’t go anymore
Truth be told, it comes as some surprise
Instead of two souls, now there’s one
Instead of more hope, now there’s none
And if it’s happening to us
I think I’ve finally lost all faith in love
Oh our love don’t go
Our love don’t go
Our love don’t go, don’t go
You don’t smile as often as you really oughta
And I’ve done too many things that were truly thoughtless
What’s going on with us?
I never would have imagined
Our love don’t go anymore
I can see it in your sad brown eyes
Our love don’t go anymore
Truth be told, it comes as some surprise
Instead of two souls, now there’s one
Instead of more hope, now there’s none
And if it’s happening to us
I think I’ve finally lost all faith in love
Oh our love don’t go
Our love don’t go
Our love don’t go, don’t go

I'm Only Hurting Myself
03:08
|
|||
|
If I could run, I’d get out of this place
If I could smile, I might show my face
If I could laugh, then I’d be laughing with you
If I could cry, I’d be standing in a pool
Something happens when I get home
I get low
And the dark clouds in the air keep knocking the dust off my shelf
I’m only hurting myself
I’m only hurting myself
And it’s been going on for a long time
it’s been going on for a long time
If I could trust, I’d never doubt
If I wasn’t lost, I could be found
If I was sure, I wouldn’t worry
If I wasn’t trying, I wouldn’t hurry
Something happens when I get home
I get low
And the dark clouds in the air keep knocking the dust off my shelf
I’m only hurting myself
I’m only hurting myself
And it’s been going on for a long time
It’s been going on for a long time
If I was wise, I’d already know
If I was shallow, I could just let it go
If I look happy, you know it ain’t true
If I had a gun, I might wanna shoot
Something happens when I get home
I get low
And the dark clouds in the air keep knocking the dust off my shelf
I’m only hurting myself
I’m only hurting myself
And it’s been going on for a long time
It’s been going on for a long time

This Kiss
04:46
|
|||
|
This kiss, I said I’d never take it back
I said I promise this one, won’t be the last one
If you’ll kiss me back
And I knew, oh, that you loved me through and through
Cuz you, were kissing, me too
Anywhere I go, I wanna be with you
To share and borrow
And to try again tomorrow
Anywhere you go, I wanna be there too
To show you patience
And to kiss you as the day ends
This kiss, may be shorter than the last
But it’s like a welcome home smile,
A good morning laugh, or a pat on the back
It’ let’s me know, Oooh
That you love me through and through
When after all of these years
You’re still kissing me too
Anywhere I go, I wanna be with you
To clear the sadness from your eyes
Give you wonder and surprise
To share and borrow
And to try again tomorrow
Anywhere you go, I wanna be there too
To follow each word that you say
To take all your fears away
And show you patience
And to kiss you as the day ends
Oh sometimes, I wonder, when things get so bad
But promises, don’t fade away
If you’ve meant what you said
Anywhere I go, I wanna be with you
To share and borrow
And to try again tomorrow
Anywhere you go, I wanna be there too
To show you patience
And to kiss you as the day ends
This kiss, I’ll never take it back
I promise this one, won’t be the last one
If you’ll kiss me back

It was 73 degrees
When she stepped out for a walk
She was still shaking like a leaf
From fighting it so hard
She looked glad she came
She smiled at them and waved
Then she turned, right
The lady in the light blue dress is walking down 39th
She moves into the wind
The lady in the light blue dress just put sunglasses on
And let her hair down
Now she’s gone
Oh she stood taller than the trees
at 5 foot 4
When the sun kissed her golden skin
She felt the warmth
She looked glad she came
She smiled at them and waved
Then she turned, right
The lady in the light blue dress is walking down 39th
She moves into the wind
The lady in the light blue dress just put sunglasses on
And let her hair down
Now she’s gone
Oh she felt the summer breeze
Blowing her like a flower
So she closed her eyes to breathe
And felt her power
She looked glad she came
She smiled at them and waved
Then she turned, right
The lady in the light blue dress is walking down 39th
She moves into the wind
The lady in the light blue dress just put sunglasses on
And let her hair down
Now she’s gone

I Remember
04:10
|

|
Remember how we’d walk up to the grocery store
We must have been 7 or 8
You’d buy a Dr. Pepper and I’d tag along
Nothing’s really changed
I hear those old songs, then I remember
I see those old places, then I remember
I see our old faces, but I don’t forget
Remember your old neighbor from across the street
I think her name was Becky
We were always staring at her boobs and whispering
I wonder if she noticed
I hear those old songs, then I remember
I see those old places, then I remember
I see our old faces, but I don’t forget
Is it all downhill from here?
Have our best years been spent?
We could live for 40 more years
That would be interesting
Remember when you visited in 92
And I was staying with a friend
You let me take your motorcycle for a ride
I dropped it on its side and broke the mirror
I hear those old songs, then I remember
I see those old places, then I remember
I see our old faces, but I don’t forget
Remember that old Plymouth parked out on the street
At your old place on Pinehurst
We were always jumping in the cab and listening
To a little Percy or some Otis, oh yeah
I hear those old songs, then I remember
I see those old places, then I remember
I see our old faces, but I don’t forget

At Our House
04:05
|
|||
|
There’s lots of old records, taking up the shelves
And there’s always music, filling in the air
It feels pretty private, It’s got a lovely view
Of green trees and blue sky
Oh everyone’s doing fine
At our house
At our house
There’s lots of great movies, playing on the screen
And plenty of laughing, at everything we see
There’s some kind of comfort, you can only breathe in
Kicked back in a lazy chair
Oh everyone’s doing fine
At our house
At our house
And we’ve got lots of smiles
At our house
We’re not only getting by
At our house
Over at our house
Don’t worry yourself
You know it’s really been a long time
We’re doing quite well
Oh we love our lives
There’s plenty of pictures, filling in the frames
And something’s always cookin’
Calling out your name
No matter how tough the working day has been
We start all over again
Oh everyone’s doing fine
At our house
At our house
And we’ve got lots of smiles
At our house
We’re not only getting by
At our house
Over at our house
Don’t worry yourself
You know it’s really been a long time
We’re doing quite well
Oh we love our lives
At our house
At our house
At our house
It’s the best place you could go

Never Leaving Texas
04:15
|
|||
|
With those wide open spaces
And old friendly faces
And Southern girls, with lemonade
Whew, goodness gracious
They don’t make 'em like that
Anywhere but down South
That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
Don’t even ask
We’ve got black two lane roads
And pine trees in droves
And more trucks that tow, than little cars on the road
And drivers that like to go, go, go
Down in the deep deep South
That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
Don’t even ask
You can take it, or leave it
We don’t mind
Cuz you get just what you see here
In Lone Star style
We’ve got glorious summers
And winters like spring
And when it rains it pours down
Blue lighting paint
And white hot stars and big red hearts
That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
Don’t even ask
You can take it, or leave it
We don’t mind
Cuz you get just what you see here
In Lone Star style
With those wide open spaces
And old friendly faces
And Southern girls, with lemonade
Whew, goodness gracious
They don’t make 'em like that
Anywhere but down South
That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
Don’t even ask
