Yesterday, put it in the book of history
Let it be one of life’s great mysteries
Find yourself it’s the only place you’ll ever be
All alone from everyone and everything
But a man can’t turn away from a pretty woman
Even when love keeps him in the moment
But as long as the moon is gonna rise above the sea baby
Love is gonna keep you next to me
Ain’t nothin’ fancy
It’s love
Get’s kind of funky
It’s tough
But when I get lonely
Ya see baby
You’re the only one
For me
How many times? has a girl up and walked away
And how many times? has the night stole the day
If war is the question
Will the answers come in peace baby
Whats in the darkness that the eyes to blind to see
Yesterday I was wasting all my time
Dreaming up all the answers
To the questions on my mind
You came like a light unto the night
And brightened up the inside of my
Life don’t have to be this way
I’m tired of all the things they say
Love don’t even feel that way it’s
Love!
Just a little lovin’ baby
Just a little love thing baby
Just a little lovin’ baby
Just a little love thang

Maybe you’re just too classy baby
Maybe my game is all wrong
But when you get so close to me
Feels like I’m gonna explode
And ever glance I steal from you
Feels like a TKO
If looks could kill
Then you’re twice the thrill
And I’m coming back for more
She was a milk-fed long-legged
Heartbreaker a fat-back Cadillac
Love maker DeVille
You’re giving me mixed signals baby
Playing me all night long
Taking me for a ride pretty baby
And that’s just the way you roll
The more you hang me out to dry
The more I want your time
If I’m guilty of your loving baby
Then let love be my crime
Gimme your love baby
Gimme your love
Gimme your love baby
Gimme your love baby

It’s been years now
Years and years
Since the sun set
On our love oh baby
Bring the tears
I’ve been lonely
Incomplete
Punch drunk like a sailor
Now baby lost at sea
I don’t wanna dream no more
No more
Our memories slip away
On a trail of forgiveness
Now our love
Starts to fade
I’m in exile from your touch
Forlorn and so broken
Its too much
I can see your face
Against the blue sky
Trails of our memories
Just clouds passing by
No one could touch us baby
We were golden gods
How did we lose something so strong
Tell me what are the odds

Try My Love

I’m a doctor
Who never lost a case
If you wake up
With the heartache
Come on by my place
I won’t tease ya baby
Cuz I don’t fool around
I get right down
To the real nitty gritty
When your love comes down
I dare you to
Try my love
Just one time
I dare you to
Try my love
Just one time
If I thought I couldn’t
Please ya baby
It would really hurt
My part
I’d stay on your case baby
Til I see you’re satisfied
I know how to love ya
I gotcha what you need
And when I love ya baby
Satisfaction guaranteed
They call me the love machine
Cuz I don’t ever get tired
I’m a bag of gitty air
I’m gonna keep you satisfied
Took a long time
To find out what I know
And when I love ya baby
You got to come back for more

You’re the queen of all my dreams
Right fix for all my needs
Like a dagger that was made of steel
The very thought of you gives me chills
You’re the yin to my yang
You’re the pleasure with my pain
And like the surge from a tidal wave
You pull me in and cast me away
And when the rain starts to fall
And i can hardly see at all
What’s a man supposed to do
Don’t call me babe
Maybe I’ll call you
Don’t call me babe
No matter what you do
Don’t call me babe
Maybe I’ll call you
Because I know one thing baby
I can’t get enough of the things you do
You’re the apple of my eye
You’re the tears if I cry
And like a god I don’t understand
I call on you when it hits the fan
and when the rain starts to fall
and i can hardly see at all
what’s a man supposed to do
I’m not sleeping I’m not dreaming
But thoughts of you
Keep running through my mind
I’m not sleeping I’m not dreaming baby
But thoughts of you
Keep running through my mind
I’m not sleeping
I’m not dreaming
With thoughts of you

When I was a boy
growing up in
Attalla, Alabama
Just west of the Coosa River
There was a staple around our home
Something we always had around lunch time
Supper time
Anytime
Crispy on the bottom, soft on the top,
Flip it over and what do ya got?
Cornbread!!
1-2-3-4!!

Talkin’ ‘Bout Love

Come on we the people
Lets shake things up
Get the fever
There’s something going down
This I know
It’s happening right now
That’s for sure
There’s protests down on
Wall street
I can feel the pavement
Shaking under my feet
People out there
They’ve got real hope
Old glory’s had enough
She’s at the end of her rope
From the mountains out west
To the sweet, sweet Georgia pines
There’s only one
Only one light that shines
Baby baby ya know
Ya know we’re talking’ bout love
Come on we the people
Let’s open our eyes
Keep it simple
There’s trouble out there for the poor
And we don’t see no change that’s for sure
There’s anger on their faces
See through the delusion
Chips are down with no aces
People out there need solutions
But all they seem to get
Is a world of confusion

When the Lights Go Down
04:31

The hour is getting late and the feeling is just right
And the moon is sitting high
On a star lit night
It’s as right as it can be
It’ll just be you and me
When the lights go down baby
I know you’ve had a rough day baby
And your spirit’s low
And its hard to be a woman
In this mean old world
But I can set you free
It’ll just be you and me
When the lights go down baby
When the lights go down
We’ll be singing this song
We’ll always be together baby
You’ll never be alone
It’s as right as it can be
It’ll just be you and me
When the lights go down baby
I know we’ve had some tough times baby
Had some good ones too
Girl you taught me so much
I depend on you
And I’ll be the first to say
I am here to stay when the lights go down baby
I know we can make it
Oh baby but only if we try
It’s gonna take a lot
To take what we got
Cuz we got a lot
And baby we rolling on

Rainy Day
04:29
|
|||
|
The sun go up
The sun come down
My mind got me running
All over town
Bills pile up no jobs around
My heart beats so heavy
I hear the sound
Some days are cold
Some nights are hot
But anything’s better
Than what I got
No fancy car
No diamond bling
This world make
Me feel like I ain’t
Got a thing
Oh yeah!
You never gonna
Bring me down
Outside it’s a rainy day
But all I wanna do is
Play, play, play
Outside it’s a rainy day
But all I wanna do is
Play, play, play
The road is long
The path is tight
You got to keep fighting
With all your might
No short cuts
No guarantees
Good god almighty
I’m on my knees
Never gonna lay down
And die
Cause my daddy
Raised me right
Never gonna keep
Me down
Mama didn’t raise
A clown
Got to keep on fighting baby
Got to keep on fighting

Bank Account
02:47
|

I ain’t got the money
To mix with the well to do
I’m a poor man honey
Holes in the sole of my shoes
Ya ain’t got to worry
My check will still go through
I got a bank account full of love
And it’s all for you
I ain’t got the money
To drive a Cadillac
I’m a poor man honey
On the wrong side of the tracks
You ain’t got to worry
About no fortune or fame
I got a bank account full of love
And it’s in your name
I ain’t got the money
To dine on caviar
I’m a poor man honey
Drink my liquor in a
Mason jar
You ain’t got to worry
My check will still go through
Got a bank account full of love
And it’s all for you
Ain’t no mystery
Ain’t no big surprise
When I feel you’re into me
It makes all my stock rise
The way you move your body and
Run your fingers through your hair
I go from living on skid row baby
To rolling like a millionaire
I got a bank account
Full of love
I got a bank account
Full of love love love

It’s Your Dream
05:18

Break down these walls
Change your mind’s laws
It’s your dream
It’s your dream baby
Pick up the slack
Take your life back
It’s your dream
It’s your dream baby
Life is bigger than the tiny canvas
We keep painting on
Life brings heartache and life brings trouble
But we keep toiling on
It’s your dream
It’s your dream baby
Shed that old skin
Make a new friend
It’s your dream
It’s your dream baby
Live and let live
Give and let give
It’s your dream
It’s your dream baby
It’s your dream
What’s your dream gonna be
The dream of the planet?
The dream of the nation?
Or the dream of your own creation
We only get one shot
At this journey we call life
Let’s make this world a better place
Than it was when we came into it
Well that’s our dream
What’s your dream gonna be?
