California Star
03:54
|

|
She left home to be a California star
But dreams can only get you so far
She left home to be on a big movie screen
But this world can be big, ugly and mean
Turns out to make it in that town
First you gotta try not to drown
She left home to be a California star
But she dances week nights in seedy bar
She left home to be on a big movie screen
But right at the bottom is where she’s been
Turns out to make it in that town
First you gotta be passed around
Her daddy hasn’t heard from her in over half a year
His heart’s still full of love most mostly it’s full of fear
She left home to be a California star
But tonight she’s handcuffed in the back of a squad car
She left home to be on the big movie screen
She’s only starred in a movie her folks wished they’d never seen
Turns out to make it in that town
You gotta let your soul burn down

Back to the light
03:48
|

|
He said I'm good and done talking to the Lord
I tried love now I'm going with the sword
no more falling on my knees
no more begging please
he said I'm good and done talking to the Lord
His woman's gone but she still prays for him
She says holy water doesn't care if you can't swim
Don't turn your back on Grace,
His love you can't replace
his woman's gone but she still prays for him
And the tears he cries God already cried
The pain he feels God feels it inside
It's a lonely walk in the dark of the night
why don't you start walking back to the Light
He said this world's no better on my own
I thought I'd be better off alone
I'm gonna bend my head
pray like i've never prayed
He said this world's no better on my own

Love was everywhere
04:24
|
|||
|
Well I’m still reeling from the time we met
You’re not the kind of girl I could forget
Your eyes looked down deep inside my soul
You read my heart just like an ancient scroll
Well I’m still reeling from the time we kissed
I make myself at home on waiting lists
So it came to me as a surprise
When you offered your lips and closed your eyes
And love was everywhere that day
From your smile to the sky no longer gray
Yeah love was everywhere in sight
Our souls were joined all through the night
Well I’m still reeling from the time we cried
When we forgot to let love be our guide
We both thought we knew so much better
But our eyes have never been any wetter
And love was everywhere that day
From your smile to the sky no longer gray
Yeah love was everywhere in sight
Our souls were joined all through the night
Yeah I'm still reeling from it all
Your love as hot as a fireball
I want to feel every inch of you
I want to know this love is true
yeah I'm still reeling from it all

You can't ask a woman
03:38
|
|||
|
You can’t ask a woman
To leave it all behind
You can’t ask a woman
To never change her mind
You can’t ask a woman
To love you come what may
You can’t ask a woman
But I do it anyway
I ask so much
Her love, her touch
I ask it all
When I feel small
When my back’s against the wall
I ask it all
You can’t ask a woman
To love you when you’re down
You can’t ask a woman
To save you when you drown
You can’t ask a woman
To step into the gray
You can’t ask a woman
But I do it anyway
I ask so much
Her love, her touch
I ask it all
When I feel small
When my back’s against the wall
I ask it all
You can’t ask a woman
To turn it all around
You can’t ask a woman
To fight on your battleground
You can’t ask a woman
To never fade away
You can’t ask a woman
But I do it anyway

The good fight
03:29
|
|||
|
Sometimes I fight the good fight
But try as I might
Bad guys win in the end
Sometimes I fight the good fight
But when day turns to night
Whiskey’s my only friend
Sometimes I fight the good fight
Try to follow the Light
But there’s meetings I don’t attend
Sometimes I fight the good fight
But I lack the foresight
To keep my Bible in my hand
I was raised on promises unkept
It’s like my good fortune overslept
But I read the Good Book, was reborn in a brook
So why, why, why
Why do I see the bait but not the hook
Sometimes I fight the good fight
Stay lower than a kite
I think I’m on the mend
Sometimes I fight the good fight
Try to be a delight
But down deep it’s just pretend
I was raised on promises unkept
It’s like my good fortune overslept
But I read the Good Book, was reborn in a brook
So why, why, why
Why do I see the bait but not the hook
Dm F C G
The preacher ask me if I have a repentant heart
Said if you wanna be free you need a fresh start
I was raised on promises unkept
It’s like my good fortune overslept
But I read the Good Book, was reborn in a brook
So why, why, why
Why do I see the bait but not the hook

Fuel up the GTO
02:58
|

|
Never been to Tucson - maybe I should go
There’s not much here for me, and I should know
Meet me a sweet girl from some border town
Every other week end I could take a drive down
Never been to Houston to the big Rodeo
Never been one to go with the flow
Me and my sweet girl from some border town
We could play house and maybe settle down
Fuel up the GTO and drive down to Mexico
Watch out for this gringo he’s just about to blow
Fuel up the GTO see how fast she can go
Play them tunes loud on the radio
Never been to Austin or San Antonio
Pretty sure now’s not to the time to take it slow
Me and my sweet girl from some border town
We could use us a dream that won’t be shot down… we could
Fuel up the GTO and drive down to Mexico
Watch out for this gringo he’s just about to blow
Fuel up the GTO see how fast she can go
Play them tunes loud on the radio

Only sober
02:32
|

|
I'm only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
I always try my best to be as drunk as I can be
You chose to hit the road in search of a new zip code
I’m only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
I came home one day
You said there’s nothing left to say
So you just walked away
And my whole world turned black and grey
I'm only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
I always try my best to be as drunk as I can be
You chose to hit the road, I grabbed a bottle to reload
I’m only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
And ever since that day
I’m drinking come what may
I never was one to stray
You know there was no foul play
I'm only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
I always try my best to be as drunk as I can be
You chose to hit the road, in single user mode
Now I’m only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
If you wanna come back
I’ll say goodbye to Jim and Jack
If you wanna come back
I’ll get my life right back on track
I'm only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
I always try my best to be as drunk as I can be
You chose to hit the road, the bottle overflowed
Now I’m only sober when I can't afford the whiskey
