Better Days For Mama

That whiskey and his wild wreckless way put my young daddy in an early grave. So many nights my mama cried and then I'd hear her pray. She'd asked the Lord to send her better days better days for mama better days.

One Love

Any time you want me, any time at all. Any time you need me all you gotta do is call. Any time you want me, any time at all. Any time you need me all you gotta do is call.

Best I Have (is Not Enough For You)

I tried to give you all the love there is in me. The more I tried the more we disagreed. I'd break my heart or be a slave or die for you. Still the best I have is not enough for you.

Mose

Mersey Paradise

River splashes against the rocks and I scale the slope. I hope the tracks won't. Lead me down to dark black pits or. Places where we fall to bits. . If she were there I'd hold her down.

Before I Met You

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time but that was before I met you. I never saw one that I wanted for mine but that was before I met you. I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue.

Made Of Stone

Your knuckles whiten on the wheel. The last thing that your hands will feel. Your final flight can't be delayed. . Nowhere, just sky, it's so serene. Your pink fat lips let go a scream.

B. J. The D. J.

A story 'bout a pal of mine. Who worked down near the Georgia Line. He's a D.J. in a little country station. Everybody loved him dear. 'Cause he played what they liked to hear.

Love Spreads

Love spreads her arms, waits there for the nails. I forgive you, boy, I will prevail. Too much to take, come cross to bear. I'm hiding in the trees with a picnic, she's over there, yeah.

Angry Words

It hurts down deep when angry words are spoken. Because of this countless tears are shed. Much too often tender hearts are broken. When hasty thoughtless angry words are said.

Almost Hear The Blues

The night wind whispers softly why did you do her wrong. In the distance there's a coyote hound sounds like his love is gone. My heart is chilled by whipporwill as the train pulls out with you.

I Wanna Be Adored

I don't have to sell my soul. He's already in me. I don't need to sell my soul. He's already in me. . I wanna be adored. I wanna be adored. . I don't have to sell my soul.

All Together Now

All together now everybody drink (everybody drink). All together now everybody think (everybody think). Think of all those sweet words that turned out to be just lies.

(you're Right) I Need You Real Bad

If you think I want to please you if you're in my arms and squeeze you. Do anything but leave you you're right I need you real bad. If you think my heart is yearning for you to be returning.

I Am Without Shoes

I am without shoes is in fact she bangs the drums played backwards.. . I'm serious. I want her. I have to be sure. I admit that I'd hate to die. Please help me.

I Am The Resurrection

Down down, you bring me down. I hear you knocking down my door. And I can't sleep at night. Your face, it has no place. No room for you inside my house.

You're The Voice (1986)

We have the chance to turn the pages over. We can write what we want to write. We gotta make ends meet before we get much older. We're all someone's daughter.

How Do You Sleep

I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead. All dressed up on dinner, looked so fine. Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered. With the finest military quick wine.

You're The Voice

We have the chance to turn the pages over. We can write what we wanna write. We gotta make ends meet before we get much older. We're al someone's daughter.

Here It Comes

I'm not so sure and yet I know. Give me your life. It's worthless anyhow. And worthless comes. I'm not so tall. As I like to think I am. Though I'll be found.
