Can't Leave Her

He's got,
a crazy little notion that
she's not,
hung up on devotion or
tight knots,
comin' un-done
no,
this just ain't no fun...
so he takes,
the ring around his finger and,
he breaks,
all the trust that lingers
and he makes,
trouble with the neighbor,
he can't take her,
he can't leave her
he'll say...never say never,
and he'll wait
cause now he's bein' clever
he'll think straight
every time he want's her
just think about the other,
And go.....in'
on and on about her
he's got this
through the rainy weather
he's lost it
Now it's really over
no he can't take her,
..but he can’t leave her.
So one day,
she tries a little harder,
so he stays
and tries a little harder
and some where
deep inside the middle
they find each other….just a little
cause just maybe
the other grass is greener
but they say,
it's harder and it's meaner
so they try
to keep it all together
he can't take her
but lord you know that he can't leave her

I Don't really know where that came from…
Nevemind the game nobody won
Bein' someone I don't wanna be
Puttin up a front that ain't quite me
I don't wanna hurt anybody now
I just wanna roll with it somehow
I don't wanna change anybody
Hate anybkdy
Cause nobody pain...
Lost Lovers game
Seems to be a lot of push and shove…
All the hate replacin all the love
Feelin like I'm always in your way
Guess I'll let you go so you can play
I don't wanna hold you baby now…
Guess it's time for me to take my bow…
I just wanna hold somebody
Love some body
Find someone the same...
Lost lovers game.
life is just a thing that we go through…
it ain’t like theres’s nothin we can do…
Holdin on to things that we believe
up until the end when we can leave.
I don't wanna hurt anybody now
I just wanna roll with it somehow
I don't wanna change anybody
Hate anybkdy
Cause nobody pain...
Lost Lovers game
I don’t wanna play
….I don’t wanna play
….I don’t wanna play
…I don’t wanna play
lost lovers game

Old Song
03:44

Did I mention, I need attention
In my absence, I wanna be
In my prayers I'm always askin'
'Bout the road Ahead of me
In the light, I try to walk
To be good to the other guy
But sometimes I fail almighty
Sometimes I fail to try
But for now it' me and an old guitar
singing like I'm a great big star
hangin' on my own words
whatever they might be…
It's just an old song.. (Just an oldie…) [harmony on backup vox]
Just an old song (sticking with me )
Just an old song that like
Hangin out with me tonight.
When I start, I never know
which way it's gonna go
In the end it's always good
if I'm goin' with flow
In the rut, I sometimes fall
and it's hard to straighten out
so I set this guitar down
and I choose another route
And these days are long
and the nights are slow
but I like this room with the lights down low
never knowin' if I'll stay or go
(I always go...)
And I wrap myself in friends when I can
but mostly I'm a lonely man
Someday I might make a stand,
someday I'll go

Trading Love For gold
03:40
|
|||
|
I traded beer for topo Chico
I traded wine for sweet iced tea
I thought that maybe that would do it
To keep you from tradin me
But I started tradin way too late
And the water doesn't satiate
Well I'm back to whiskey now
All alone and wonderin how
And we traded living there together
for sleeping far apart,
We traded every thing we could, babe,
To fix our broken hearts,
But your love would go another way
and mine would find another place
a safer bed to lay,
now its way to late to trade.
Fifteen years ago we traded with a smile
Golden rings and sacred wedding vows
But we never could see this
Bankrupted family bliss
There's no way either one of us could know
this would happen,
Tradin’ Love For Gold
We traded words that hurt each other
And ended up in fights
There were lots of empty days in there
and Lots of sleepless nights
So we traded those for greener grass
But never even thought to ask,
If we would like it more,
Than the weeds we had before
But now its trade offs and its stand-offs
And losing all our write-offs
And wish in' that we'd thought of this
when we traded love for gold

Till Death Do You Part
04:56

Just remember that day,
by the river in May,
when she walked down the aisle,
and she looked up and smiled,
There were tears in your eyes,
You were a beautiful bride,
And he was the one,
gonna be so much fun,
...Till death do you part
from your hands to your hearts,
doesn't mean till your tired of him,
or it feels like he's just a friend,
doesn't mean till you're sick of her,
and it's not like how you were,
instead of breaking his heart,
bring it back to the start,
till death do you part.
Now he works way too much,
and the kids are a crutch,
you don't ever go out,
sick of nights on the couch,
And she always seems down,
says you're never around,
but you're busting your ass,
and you hope this don't last,
till death do you part...
[chorus]
it's not a story book ending,
every day is a new beginning,
smooth out the rough patches now,
before it becomes a sore
that will be there,
till death do you part
[chorus]
