morning Turned my radio on They were playing a love song That's when things went wrong My mind ran on you And my heart broke again So I started drinking Now its half past ten My day's lost in haze And I don't know where I've been But I don't mind and I don't care Cause I'm still happy living here In the town where I grew up Where my roots run deep On the island that I love I will lay me down to sleep I remember when You were so young and sweet Couldn't wait to go out Dancing every week All the girls they wanted To be just like you All the boys wanted To steal your heart My day's lost in haze And I don't know where I've been But I don't mind and I don't care Cause I'm still happy living here In the town where I grew up Where my roots run deep On the island that I love I will lay me down to sleep ---------- Feb 01/11 Jimmy Rodgers came to town Riding on a great big roan Had a six gun on his hip Talking on his new cell phone All the girls at Bob's Saloon Smiled and waved as he rode by While he whistled out a tune To some woman in the sky Betty Sue sat on the porch Across the street from Bob's Saloon Watched as Jimmy tied his horse As the town clock turned high noon Jimmy walked into the bank With his six gun on his hip ---------- Feb 02/11 You are fixing up my broken heart You are doing things to me You are fixing up my broken heart You are fixing it for free I thought love was some expensive game I thought others lied to me You are changing up the game I play You are doing things to me You are breaking down the walls I've built You are doing things for me You are breaking down the walls I've built You are reaching in for me I thought love was just a dream A dream I would not live to see Then you stepped inside my dream Started doing things to me You are burning out the underbrush You are doing things to me You are fixing up my broken heart You are fixing it for free I thought love was some expensive game I thought others lied to me You are changing up the game I play You are doing things to me ---------- Feb 04/11 I have made it this far girl On raw talent and wine And I would not change a thing If given one more time To live my life and chase All of my dreams I may not reach the top Or so it seems But I have enjoyed the ride Almost every day Please dry those salty tears Listen to what I say ---------- Feb 04/11 Blue light Hard night Just right Hold tight to me Take flight Tonight Don't fight Just break free I don't know Where you're coming from I can't tell Why you're on the run Trump tight Lost sight Heart's blight Love's bleeding plea Sky light Star bright Rough night Out on the sea I don't know Where you're coming from I can't tell Why you're on the run ---------- Feb 05/11 I'm not here for the party I'm not here for the show I'm not here for the usual Girl you surely know I got time on my hands I got dreams in my head I got love in my heart That will last till I'm dead ---------- Feb 05/11 They're talking Super Bowl Say put your world on hold That seems alright by some But I'm not under their thumb I've got my life to live I've got some time to give But they can't have it all It's just a leather ball So honey come on by We'll eat some apple pie Topped with some mocha chip Sit joined here at the hip (Yeah) It's super Sunday But it can be our fun day Go walking on the beach With you my Georgia peach ---------- Feb 05/11 She is one hot mess Stuck inside my dreams Yeah she is one hot mess She's just nineteen In a little black dress But everywhere she goes She brings big time stress From right beneath your nose She will steal your heart Listen boys I say You gotta play it smart ---------- Feb 06/11 Blind boys sitting on the corner Watching all the girls walk by Can't see what's right before their eyes Blinded by all that's on the surface Can't see the truth that lies within ---------- Feb 06/11 I kept time in a bottle Had too much time on my hands Time to make some changes Be a different man ---------- Feb 06/11 Say my name no more Play my game for sure Take me to the bottom of your bedroom door Burn my beating heart Let me make a start Then you can turn around and make another start ---------- Feb 07/11 Wee hah honey bunch Wee hah honey bunch Wee hah honey bunch Come kiss me here tonight Cause I'm watching my Ps and minding my Qs Watching my Ps and minding my Qs Watching my Ps and minding my Qs Tonight Cause I'm watching my Ps and minding my Qs There aint nothing I can do Get you to come hold on me tonight Wee hah honey bunch Wee hah honey bunch Wee hah honey bunch Come kiss me here tonight ---------- Feb 07/11 Tonight When the stars come out I will call your name From your front yard Though your daddy says Don't you see that boy Open up your window And smile for me If you come on down To the park You can dance with me In the pale moonlight Tongight After dark I will call your name From your front yard Though your daddy says Don't you see that boy Well he don't know What is in my heart ---------- Feb 10/11 I got no time To get ahead So I'm just stuck here At the back With my buddies Chuggin beers Getting wasted Every night Suburban dreamers Dreaming dreams But not our own And that's a shame They've been jammed in To our heads By the man Since we were young ---------- Feb 10/11 Take me to the river Float me to the ocean Send me to the bottom Of the Marianas Trench Hanging in the dark With the funky fishes Don't know what I'm doing So I'm just kicking back Longing for the surface Breath the salty air Morning sunrise Paints the clouds salmon pink ---------- Feb 10/11 I got me a protractor baby And I'm working out the angles To get me in tight with you Before this party's done I like the freeform curves That I see you toting Tell me now can you add up What I'm telling you? I think that you and I Should try some integrating ---------- Feb 11/11 Now I een mind da number nine Cause all my love does run right on time Come kiss me girl Now I een mind da way you wind Da way you move makes my heart shine Come kiss me girl ---------- Feb 11/11 Three minutes of loving baby And you'll reach the top I'll push you over the edge then I'll watch you drop You can spend your life free falling You can be a hit Three minutes of loving baby Jump right on it You've got some plans now woman But they've got to change Three minutes of loving baby I'm not playing games I don't want no back talk woman So don't complain Three minutes of loving baby Then the summer rains ---------- Feb 11/11 Dat gal is crazy Tink she heaven sent She take all my money And gone pay her rent I een gat time For her stink self So I ga put her On my back shelf ---------- Feb 11/11 Girl I don't want you Standing on my doorstep Calling out my name Bothering me every night And I don't want you Coming round to see me When I am at work yeah Girl you know that wouldn't be right But baby I can Call you when I need you Maybe come on over You and me could have us a fight But I don't want you Standing on my doorstep Calling out my name Bothering me every night Cause me and all my buddies We be Star Treking When you gonna see the light Now baby When you gonna see the light Hey baby When you gonna see the light ---------- Feb 12/11 I stole me a girlfriend Late last night She was hidden in the shadows Far from the light If my life ended I could die contented Cause I found true love By the morning light ---------- Feb 12/11 Living on the island aint getting me down Aint nothing like a city just a little biddy town Rich folks they keep coming around Say they searching for what I've already found No living on the island don't get me down And every night I'm working on my hillbilly sound ----------
