Stoplight Kisses

Stoplight kisses, what I want from you
Stoplight kisses, all I want to do
When I pull up to the crosswalk
And ease up on the small talk
You know what’s on my mind
I’ll loosen up my seatbelt
Make it really heartfelt
Kiss in time to the don’t walk sign
Stoplight kisses, telling you it’s true
Stoplight kisses, you drive away my blues
The sky got dark, the night got late
and I can’t see straight
I’m moving slow when the light turns green
Prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen
Stoplight kisses, telling you it’s true
Stoplight kisses, you drive away my blues
Stoplight kisses, what I’ll give to you
Stoplight kisses, all I want to do
When I pull on to a side street I can feel your heartbeat
You’re so close to me
The rhythm of the traffic sounds like magic
And we can make a melody
Stoplight kisses, telling you it’s true
Stoplight kisses, you drive away my blues
Stoplight kisses, you drive away my blues

You're Dreaming
03:25
|

You’re dreaming beside me
Are you running, are you falling
Is an old love calling your name?
It’s raining inside me
I’m not sleeping, I’m not walking
And you can’t hear my talking when your eyes are closed
I’ll be alright, it just takes some time
I can’t believe that you are mine all mine
This pain thing has a hold on me
Feels like I’m sinking, like I’ve been drinking
And I can’t help but thinking of him holding you
I’m painting my jealousy
My hands are shaking, my brush is slipping
And the red paint’s dripping to the floor
Rose petals are all I need
Just like picking cotton it can make you bleed
You’re dreaming beside me
Are you running, are you falling
Is an old love calling your name?
You’re Dreaming

Queen of Them All
03:40

You’re the queen of them all
That’s what makes it an easy fall
When you call me with your charms
You’re the end of my schemes
You’re my best fittin’ pair of jeans
Like a dream I’m awake in your arms
And love, love, is a wild wild thing
Love, love, love, makes me want to sing a song for you
You’re a bright shining star
When I look at you from afar
There’s only fire and I can’t help but stare
You’re the queen of them all
That’s what makes it an easy fall
An easy fall when you’re laying right there
And love, love, is a wild wild thing
Love, love, love, makes me want to sing a song for you
And love, love, is a wild wild thing
Love, love, love, makes me want to sing a song for you

Clown Collector

She’s a honeybee looking for nectar
She’s a clown collector
She’s a lover, don’t need a protector
She’s a clown collector
Take a look at me man, I ought to know
I can juggle all night til the rooster crows
The spirit’s willing, but the flesh is weak
When she holler’s all aboard for a losing streak
You’re an actor, she’s the director
She’s a clown collector
You’re the movie, she’s the projector
She’s a clown collector
She’ll take your picture put it up on the wall
Doesn’t matter if you’re little or tall
She’s got a lot of things to say to you
And if you disagree you’ll get a talking to
She’s never wrong, no one can correct her
She’s a clown collector
Listen up man, she’s giving a lecture
She’s a clown collector
She’s an army, I’m a defector
She’s a clown collector
I’m conscientious, she’s an objector
She’s a clown collector
To be a knife thrower, got to practice for years
If Annie Oakley missed she never shed any tears
History repeats all the time time time
Who’s gonna make you laugh when the clown starts crying
She’s a honeybee looking for nectar
She’s a clown collector
She’s a lover, don’t need a protector
She’s a clown collector

I’m going down to the sea
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P
I watch the sun yellow and brown
Sinking suns in every town
My angel sings down to me
She’s somewhere on the shore waiting for me
With her wet hair and sandy gown
Singing songs waves of sound
There’s a dive I know on River Street
Go on in and take my seat
There’s a lot of friends I’ll never meet
Gonna take a dive off River Street
You look different from way down here
Like a circus mirror I see flashes of you on the surface
I’m coming up from way down here
The water’s clear all I want is to see your face
I’m going down to the sea
M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P
I watch the sun yellow and brown
Sinking suns in every town

One more kiss, eye to eye
It’s never easy, baby, don’t you cry
Hold me close, look at the sky
Powder blue
There’s only you on my mind
You’re all I want, baby all the time
Love so true, love divine
Powder blue
Powder blue, powder blue
Love so true, love divine
Only you on my mind

Change Your Ways or Die
03:25
|
|||
When the river rises o’er her banks
Better make your home in a higher place
For if you stay down by the sand
You’ll be washed away to another land
When the mountains swim in the sea
Look around, you won’t find me
In the end what’s done is done
If you hear it coming you won’t have to run
You’ve got to change your ways or die
If you listen now I’ll tell you why
The buffalo was here to stay
Til a fool with a gun came and took him away
If you go too far you can’t come back
When the river changes so does the map
You’ve got to change your ways or die
If you listen now I’ll tell you why
A lover’s life is like a dream
Sycamore trees, peaches and cream
If I could show you what I see
You’d take a chance, run away with me
A sip of whiskey gets your toes wet
If you dive too deep you’ll get caught in a net
Love and fire burn to the core
I thought as I walked by the corner store
You’ve got to change your ways or die
If you listen now I’ll tell you why
You’ve got to change your ways or die
If you listen now I’ll tell you why

If I Can't Win
03:17
|

See the shadows over there
When the dim lamplight hits your chair
These are thoughts I never say
I make them hide and go away
Overlooking what I see
In the past got the best of me
Orange curtains and pale blue walls
If I can’t win I’m gonna lose it all
I talk to my cigarettes
The most they listen is ten minutes
But I’ll have another one
It’s a new pack so they can’t run
Sometimes people walk away
When they overhear what I say
It’s just the same old call
If I can’t win I’m gonna lose it all
Take a walk around this room
And the gifts that you took to soon
Too many memories
Drags out the worst in me
Saw a picture book on the shelf
Was alone so I helped myself
Send it up and watch it fall
If I can’t win I’m gonna lose it all
Send it up and watch it fall
If I can’t win I’m gonna lose it all

Adios Maria
04:09
|
|||
Beautiful flowers are all that I dream of
You don’t know what you’ve got
So you want what you can’t have
I love to laugh at all of the hours
All the jokes that I know someway make you sour
Adios, Maria I’ll meet you in paradise
Run my hands through your hair at the break of sunrise
Adios, Maria I’ll meet you in paradise
If the good lord is willing and the creek don’t rise
New Orleans town on my way up to Austin
Dominoes was my game till the day that I lost ‘em
It’s a short road here that goes a lot longer
North or south it’s the same high water will drown ya
Adios, Maria I’ll meet you in paradise
Run my hands through your hair at the break of sunrise
Adios, Maria I’ll meet you in paradise
If the good lord is willing and the creek don’t rise
There’s a man that I know, hill country of Texas
His name is Ulysses and he’s grown to respect us
He lives his life so all men can see it
It’s a troubled heart and a worried mind that bring you to fear it
Adios, Maria I’ll meet you in paradise
Run my hands through your hair at the break of sunrise
Adios, Maria I’ll meet you in paradise
If the good lord is willing and the creek don’t rise

Goodbye, sure is good to know ya
I’m so thankful for ya
That’s how I’ll always feel
I’m gone, but not forgotten
Troubles, sure I’ve got ‘em
Now they don’t seem as real
I’ve seen a place not far from here
Where diamonds light up the sky
I’ve waltzed with my lover
Rolled in the clover
I’ve heard the whippoorwill cry
I’m gone, but not forgotten
Troubles, sure I’ve got ‘em
Now they don’t seem as real
I’ve seen a place not far from here
Where diamonds light up the sky
I’ve waltzed with my lover
Rolled in the clover
I’ve heard the whippoorwill cry
I’m gone, but not forgotten
Troubles, sure I’ve got ‘em
Now they don’t seem as real
Goodbye, sure is good to know ya
I’m so thankful for ya
That’s how I’ll always feel
That’s how I’ll always feel
That’s how I’ll always feel
