Blues and Me 4:57
Soul confusion wrapped up in dissolution just another day with you So tired of crying so tired of trying just to get along with you Heavens above is this what you call love I’d rather be alone and blue Cold as a stone stuck here under your throne since you’ve been ruling over me Honey you ain’t no queen and this ain’t my scene I get so tired of you telling me what to do cuz Heavens above this just can’t be true love when all I want to do is sing the blues
CHORUS The blues and me we get along night after night song after song Day by day come what may you know the blues will always be around And never let you down
With a dose of my pride I’ll find my stride and finally walk away from you I’ll lace up my traveling shoes no more pay these dues on a love that’s only killing me Cuz our loves’ demise was on account of your lies but here’s one thing I know is true
CHORUS The blues and me we get along night after night song after song Day by day come what may you know the blues will always be around And they’ll never let you down
You Don’t Know Jack 3:18

Levee of Lies 4:37
How did you feel when it all came down Were you alone void of sound When the levee of lies all around you broke And on every word you began to choke How did you feel
Tell me how long did you think this would last When the ship that you sailed started sinking so fast Not a friend could be found when you were going down What in the world did you think they would do after what you put them through How does it feel
CHORUS Forgiveness never comes easy when you’re begging it all for yourself When a little mercy was all you were pleading Maybe for a little while you were somebody else How did it feel
It’s good to see you here glad you came around From the darkness you sowed put your feet on solid ground With your big soul shining just like it used to do Ain’t it funny how one clear moment can see you through How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel How does it feel
It Ain’t Workin’ for Me No More 4:23
It ain’t workin’ for me no more tired of waking up on the kitchen floor It ain’t no fun when you can’t find the door It ain’t workin’ for me no more
It ain’t doin’ what it used to do back in the days of me and you Stayin’ up all night just actin’ a fool It ain’t doin’ what it used to do
Doctor told me I got to live a little better I ride a bike that won’t roll walking machine ain’t no better Now my heart rate is up my bones are breaking down This joint’s really jumping but I just wanna lay down It ain’t workin’ for me no more
It ain’t feelin’ like it used to feel standing on the corner just tryin’ to make a deal I hope that the judge will hear my appeal It ain’t feelin’ like it used to feel It ain’t doin’ what it used to do It ain’t workin’ for me no more It ain’t workin’ for me no more
Truth 4:05
Can’t find no truth round here Can’t find no truth round here No matter how I try I just can’t justify . . .why Can’t find no truth round here
Can’t find no hope round here Can’t find no hope round here No matter how I try I just can’t justify . . .why Can’t find no hope round here
No matter if they’re red or blue They keep sticking it to me and you Take all the money and power and Stick it up on a shelf And all the time they take real good care of themselves . . . Don’t they
Can’t find no justice round here Can’t find no justice round here No matter how I try I just can’t justify . . .why Can’t find no justice Can’t find no hope Can’t find no truth
Somebody’s got to start doin’ something
Road of Love 4:37
Cruel side of love has been no stranger to you I’ve come right here just to tell you I’ve had my troubles too People setting us up just to tear us down They’re talkin’ ’bout us up and down all around this little town
But I’m your man, yes I am And here’s just where I’ll stand On this road of love with you, on the road of love, on the road of love, on the road of love
This road of love can be a cold and lonely place And I’ll be right here just to dry every tear from your face No shadow of doubt will reign down on what used to be My love for you is for real and it will always be
Honey I’ll never hurt you Honey I’ll never desert you As long as you are my woman I’m your man yes I am and here’s just where I’ll stand On this road of love with you, on the road of love, on the road of love, on the road of love, on the road of love
Somewhere Between You and I 4:33
Somewhere between you and I there’s a river of tears that will never run dry Tangled words on the great divide sad remains from another day and time Things will never be the same now that all our memories have changed I’m looking out this time for me
Wondered if I would survive make it out alive this time A promise never to abide did you think that I could let it all slide down Things will never be the same now that all our memories have changed I’m looking out this time
When the angry words are hurled and there’s nothing more to say And your heartstrings are unfurled and our love slips away, our love slips away I’m looking out this time
In the middle of the night I remember when I held you tight I felt something inside me die as the northern lights danced through the empty sky Things will never be the same now that all our memories have changed I’m looking out this time for me
Solace 4:20
Today I woke up alone wondering what I’d done wrong shaken from a dream Trying to find a way to heal I just couldn’t let myself feel the emptiness in me
I guess I’ll never know why you had to let go lay your burdens down find solace through the open door no more wondering what it all is for
You arrived with a joyful sound turned my whole world upside down and I carried you home From the cradle to the grave spirits come and share our stages and they carry us home
I guess I’ll never know why you had to let go lay your burdens down find solace through the open door no more wondering what it all is for
Things will always change will I rearrange lay my burdens down find solace through the open door no more wondering what it all was for
