Give Me Something Real. . I'm not willing to live. Blinded by another lover. who leads me on. 'Cause they know just how to give. Just enough to get what they want.
(Well all the beer and all my friends are gone). . It sure was fun having all the gang around tonight. Laughin' and singin' and talkin' about old times.
Well, I love this life but it's doing me in. Just in case I don't ever see you again. I had a real good time. I love the wine. The women and song and the carryin' on.
Softly I hear you talking. I see you walking right out the door. Faintly I hear you tell me. That you don't love me anymore. . Surely I must be dreaming.
First year med tech, 2 AM. On the graveyard shift a call comes in. A senseless killin'. Blue lights flashin', white chalk line. I still get queasy but I'll be fine.
In the mist of all the laughter stop and face yourself. See that mirror on the wall, oh, foolish one. Tell the image in the glass top. Do you kidding now with your life of sin and shame and fickle fun?.
I sat alone at home all weekend waitin' for you to call. But the phone didn't ring and the door didn't knock and I sat there talkin' to the wall. Then today when you did come around it didn't mean nothing to you.
What if I came clean,. Came down without a frown,. And became the dean. of my own universe?. . I am a slave of my own addiction,. I just gotta behave in my own conviction..
That's not her picture, I wish it was. It came with the wallet, I keep it because. It reminds me of her, it reminds me of us. But that's not her picture.
In the name of progress. Big old building's goin' up. And in the name of progress. Another Mom And Pop shop bites the dust. . That old home town flavor.
She used to be the life of the party, the center of attention. When it came to puttin' on a show, she was the main attraction. But she quit hangin' around, now she don't go to town.
She took the keys, she took the car. Took my love and she broke my heart. Poor me, poor me. Poor me, another. . Down with the blues, age old infection.
There's a little bitty flame burnin' deep in my heart. You wanna make something of it?. Oh, do you feel the same, maybe just a little spark?. You wanna make something of it.
To be or not to be in love with you which way is best for me I wish I knew. To see or not to see the things you do to be or not to be in love with you.
I found new friends the day you left me you never told me you'd be back. New friends so kind to one so lonely my friend the bottle my friend the glass.
At first when I was young and small I've thought that life was made of. All the little things the day by day things peanut butter children's playthings.
Last night I put the top down. And drove to the edge of town. A part of me just kept on goin' when I turned around. Why did I turn around?. . Every day it's more confusing wonderin' where I stand.
First time I heard, Good Hearted Woman. I was in my uncle's car. He said, son, now that's what I call music. Listen to them guitars, turn it up, go on, turn it up.
The streets are dark and empty. And you walk them all alone. You think about your love affair. And wonder what went wrong. . You go to bed each night.
Monday's promise is Tuesday's lie. Saturday's party is Sunday's fight. Somethin's wrong with you and I. Love's gone wrong that used to be right. . And I can feel it slippin' away.
