You came to me in the morning before I awoke But I don’t even know your name Gone just as quick I think my heart is broke But I don’t even know your name Red, red beard- mama’s liking You talk like an angel look like a viking You is a tall, tall man with some great big arms But I don’t even know your name You better watch out ‘cause this snake you charmed But I don’t even know your name Your mouth is dirty but your soul is clean You must be a King cause I feel like a Queen It’s bigger than you, it’s bigger than you It’s bigger than me It’s bigger than you, it’s bigger than you It’s bigger than me Hit me like a Freight Train Hit me like a Freight Train You’re too good to be true And I don’t even know your name In this dream I fell for you And I don’t even know your name Well come back you medieval man I’m gonna wait as long as I can But It’s bigger than you, it’s bigger than you It’s bigger than me It’s bigger than you, it’s bigger than you It’s bigger than me Hit me like a Freight Train Hit me like a Freight Train

People can't wait to find perfection They just want what they get right now It's clearly a waste of time I can't see what I'm doing wrong til I'm Crying all alone on my kitchen floor Come see me when I fly But you've been waiting here so long For me to muddle through this song Take my time We need a love to last forever So we will never die, die, die So scared to live but too young to go A child of children who will never know How lonely they designed my heart Gotta be something to get me through How 'bout a love that lives for truth If only I could be so smart But you've been waiting here so long For me to muddle through my song But I take my time We need a love to last forever So we will never die, die, die I need a song that I'll remember That love is just a lie, lie, lie Well maybe it could outlast us When your bones and your hearts turn to dust Afraid of the darkness beyond your breath But your love is stronger than your death We need a love to last forever So we will never die, die, die I need a song that I'll remember That love is just a lie, lie, lie

Got you searching high I'm feeling so low Past the river's mile the mountain shadow If you get too close we're gonna find out If we both can breathe where we hide out I will do my best to run you all night I could stay right here but I can't sit tight I could make you wait but I don't want to There's no one above you Catch me if you can I'm falling If you can I'll be right here waiting If you can I'm falling If you can I can bait you with my breath that needs you Just don't bite the hand that feeds you I don't want to hold out on my lover I can't breathe when I'm without you Got you searching high I'm feeling so low Past the river's mile the mountain shadow I can't wait to set you free You searched the whole world and found me Catch me if you can I'm falling If you can I'll be right here waiting If you can I'm falling If you can

Uh huh There must be somebody to keep me company Another voice to drown out the lonely The van to the venue to the van to the bed And you just gotta laugh at what the boys in the band said I see you staring out the corner of your eye Don't be jealous It's just me and the fellas Don't be jealous It's just me and the fellas Uh huh We've seen the ends of I-80 From Joliet to Salt Lake City Sebastopol to Durango I better put my foot down ain't got no turbo I see you staring out the corner of your eye Don't be jealous It's just me and the fellas Don't be jealous It's just me and the fellas Uh huh You bring it to the middle bring it to the edge If you want to sip a little something let it go to your head, go on We work it harder every extra mile There's gotta be 30,000 reasons why a girl should smile I see you staring out the corner of your eye Don't be jealous It's just me and the fellas Don't be jealous It's just me and the fellas Uh huh

My House 07:01
I’ve been counting stars instead of counting sheep It keeps me awake when I need to be asleep Maybe if you were here with me I wouldn’t be so cold This business of you being gone is getting pretty old Said won’t you Come on over to my house baby, make it soon My ways have changed, and I’m singing A new tune and it goes La La La La La La Oh I can’t live without you The season’s changing fast but the days go so slow I’m trapped in my head with all of this sorrow Well you left me alone with only the clouds above Won’t you come home and give me some good sweet love Won’t you Come on over to my house baby, make it soon My ways have changed, and I’m singing you This new tune and it goes La La La La La La Oh I can’t live without you Remember the days when we would just lie in bed? Those warm sweet thoughts are still all up in my head But it’s so cold out tonight And without you my baby I don’t feel right Come on over to my house baby, make it soon My ways have changed, and I’m singing A new tune and it goes La La La La La La Oh I can’t live without you

Millie Mae 06:04
How many feathers does it take to make a bird fly? Or make you pass me by, there's no knowing. And how many rocks does it take to build up this mountain top? Or make that river stop the way that it's flowing? [Chorus] Little Rose, Millie Mae How you stole my blues away I've gotta go straight on through I'm gonna keep my heart, keep my heart with you Oh how many moons will it take to pull on your tide? Find where your secrets hide, won't you give me a sign? And how many bones do you have to feel it in, Before you give in, and just be mine? [Chorus] [Bridge] Only one feather is pretty thin If that's all we got, my future's looking dim And only one bone, well my chances are fat Do you feel more than that? Oh baby I hope you feel more than that [Chorus]

Crawdaddies 05:14
Night crawlers, crawdaddies; daddy B don't worry We gon' get up to get down Laugh off your pretenses, shake off your hesitences Take your shoes off to get loud Chorus Cause It's on from now on, don't stop before the dawn Let the water wash you down Gonna be a good old time, feel it down your spine This is the town Well we're below the sea level, friends to Whiskey Devil Good things in life come in glass Lack nothing, stack to bring the fanny pack you know it makes me sing So loud, get kicked out so fast Chorus You fall in step, lose your head, know the beat's heart instead Inside out it will make you love Well you feel it in your feet, I feel it in my chest, close your eyes this is the best I said close your eyes this is the best Chorus

Who Are You 07:05
You been creepin’ round Never seen the light of day Do you live underground? Who are you anyway? You asked me out, I asked you in Until the dawn you stayed But does the sunlight burn your skin Or am I being played? Oh I know that you can’t decide Which is wrong, which is right Change your mind but Do you want me only in the night? You attract me like a magnet Sucking me right in My heart is anything but stagnant Make me want to sin But sometimes I get frightened Baby with you in the dark But it feels like lightening baby When you leave your mark Oh I know that you can’t decide Which is wrong, which is right Change your mind but Do you want me only in the night? You’ve opened so many doors Are you gonna break my heart Or should I put a steak in yours?

Mama Knows 10:16

Road Trip 09:01
Tonight I saw a star not fall but shoot on up It rose through the heavens right past that drinking cup Said it rose like the tide rushing towards your feet It rose like your smile when you fall into the sea Well I’d be smiling too, but I left my heart back in old Kentucky Well we’ve been through the desert on a horse named Beulah She drinks a lot of money but she’ll be good to ya She’s loaded up with boxes and the instruments Let’s hope the tweekers don’t know how to jump that fence We broke down in Calico, up on the tow truck- Go Go Go We got hung up in Sedona like a rotary telephone We felt the red rock seeping, creeping into our souls Well we answered the call from Cathedral We made our way into the steeple, yes we did Heard that wind say our name, and we told her that we’d all be back some day When we get back gonna rock this city like Mama’s chair Oh you know that Turtle and Johnny gonna be there We gonna break down the road and set up the stage We got some music we gonna play, gonna play Get some good New York, NY coursing through our veins Oh then we gonna climb up on the big ol’ dirty bird Leaving her behind you know, you know it’s gonna hurt But we got Fifteen Dollars worth of cashews You know I don’t even have to ask you to come along Oh if you don’t know yet, you’ll know right after this song The Times were Early Oh well the Times were Early and the Times were good Yes you get a little Dirty sitting up on that hood Well we gonna drink that corn liquor it goes down like fire Yes we’re singing in the back seat like the Barstow choir The Times were Early
