Steer You Wrong
Poison in my pillbox
Out on the Highway for too long
Don’t wake me up at the next stop
We’re gonna ride right through the fog
I got a big house but it’s empty
It’s just a place I can rest my bones
Let me know if it’s tempting
Maybe you can keep me warm
I’m alone but not lonely
But I sure could use a friend
And if you wanted to join me
I won’t steer you wrong
I won’t steer you wrong
I leapt out of the window
With a jaw dropping graveyard tan
Let my next of kin know
I devised a brand new plan
We’ll have a big wedding in Tucson
I’m gonna howl when the church bell rings
Elmyra get your shoes on
You’re gonna miss the whole damn thing
I’m alone but not lonely
But I sure could use a friend
And if you wanted to join me
I won’t steer you wrong
I won’t steer you wrong
Dolloped feathered and frilled tear a crisp dollar bill in two
I’m gonna burn down the barn tattoo your name on my arm for you
That’s what I’ll do wooh
I’m alone but not lonely
But I sure could use a friend
And if you wanted to join me
I won’t steer you wrong
I won’t steer you wrong
Oh baby baby I won’t steer you wrong

Meaning Of Sorry
I’m not a man you wanna cross
I draw a line in the sand
If that’s the coin you wanna toss
You might not like where it lands
The Moon is full and hearts are dark
I’m watching you like a spy
You make your move and I’ll leave me mark
You’re gonna pay for your lies
You’ll know the meaning of sorry
The bitter taste of regret
You’ll know the meaning of sorry
And that’s a sting you’ll never forget
Sad sack surrender pick at your scabs
I’ll look you right in the eye
Return to sender don’t want you back
There’s freedom in a goodbye
You say you’re sorry well that’s a laugh
I’ve heard that story before
I’ll wear you out like a welcome mat
I’m gonna even the score
You’ll know the meaning of sorry
The bitter taste of regret
You’ll know the meaning of sorry
And that’s a sting you’ll never forget

Is There Anything You Wouldn’t Do
Woke up with the noonday devil again
And some new tricks up your sleeve
From the flophouse to the dirty streets
You’re determined to deceive
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
Is there any depth too shallow for you
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
If it left your lips I know it ain’t true
The whiskey drummer’s at your window again
And the cocaine bleeds your spirit dry
Soon your wife will be a widow in pain
And you’ll never hear your babies cry
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
Is there any depth too shallow for you
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
If it left your lips I know it ain’t true
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
Is there any depth too shallow for you
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
If it left your lips I know it ain’t true
(solo)
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
Is there any depth too shallow for you
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
If it left your lips I know it ain’t true
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
Is there any depth too shallow for you
Is there anything that you wouldn’t do
If it left your lips I know it ain’t true
And that's a cold hard fact

Hangin’ On
I let the water run
Fly to the end of time like a spot in the sun
Blind your eyes my little desert belle
Leave this city behind before they drag you to hell
Bright lights on the boulevard
You’ll have to scrape your knees
Pick yourself up when life gets hard
Take what you need
Don’t leave your heart here hangin’ on
Don’t you look back baby once you’re gone
Cry and cry you’re mom and papa’s jewel
You’ve got to find your own way before they make you a fool
Chase your dreams cause they’re a world away
My heart hangs heavy on me because you’re leaving today
Bright lights on the boulevard
You’ll have to scrape your knees
Pick yourself up when life gets hard
Take what you need
Don’t leave your heart here hangin’ on
Don’t you look back baby once you’re gone
Don’t leave your heart here hangin’ on
Don’t you stay lonely for too long
A splinter from your skin
A thorn from your side
Kick up some dust again
And go live your life
Don’t leave your heart here hangin’ on
Don’t you look back baby once you’re gone
Don’t leave your heart here hangin’ on
Don’t you stay lonely for too long

Wicked Mind
Please direct your attention to that sign on my front door
You’re trespassing did I mention you ain’t welcome here no more
Call it the cold shoulder call me evil I don’t care
Whatever grudge I’m holding know you earned it and take care
You’re spinning so many lies
I can see it in your eyes
Is there pain behind your crimes
Or is it just your , is it just your wicked mind
Profoundly so self-serving (I) know you fooled me for so long
Blindly not observing the dark path you lead me on
Another made up milestone and a feeling so untrue
You painted your horizon with a splash of faded blue
You’re spinning so many lies
I can see it in your eyes
Is there pain behind your crimes
Or is it just your , is it just your wicked mind
Your heart beats like hammer I hear you breathing
Your eyes can’t hide the lies you’re trying to sell
I know all the secrets you’ve been keeping
With that I’ll say goodbye and wish you well
You’re spinning so many lies
I can see it in your eyes
Is there pain behind your crimes
Or is it just your , is it just your wicked mind
Is it just your wicked mind

Uptown Too Long
Tear out the pages
And go back in time
Change all the faces
And re-write every line
You think you’re going somewhere
I think you’re going nowhere fast
With all that bright shiny new flair
But that sparkle won’t never last
Too long, too long
You’ve been uptown too long
Did you forget about your downtown friends?
You’ve been uptown too long
Even your mama’s wondering where you been
Roll out the carpet baby
Let the bright lights shine on and on
Take any highway
You can always find your way back home
You’re not going my way
In that fast car all alone
Change in behavior
I thought I saw you passing by
Just like a neighborhood stranger
Behind a face I recognize
Too long, too long
You’ve been uptown too long
Did you forget about your downtown friends?
You’ve been uptown too long
Even your mama’s wondering where you been
Roll out the carpet baby
Let the bright lights shine on and on
Let the bright lights shine on and on
Let the bright lights shine on and on

More Trouble Than Fun
I hope this message finds you well
I’m stepping off of this carousel
It’s been a hell of a ride but I’m walking away
First you tell me I’m not your man
Yet I should treat you as best I can
Some other black haired girl’s bound to take your place
I’m not your clown
The circus just left town today
Let the bullets fly
Let the tears overflow in your eyes
Little girl you’re a lot more trouble than fun
As the hands on the clock unwind
I’m not falling back this time
I’m crawling out of my cave before the morning breaks
A hall of mirrors in your eyes
A warped reflection of outright lies
Swallow what you need to ease your pain
A second chance
Slipped right through your hands again
I’m not your clown
The circus just left town today
Let the bullets fly
Let the tears overflow in your eyes
Little girl you’re a lot more trouble than fun
Little girl you’re a lot more trouble than fun – Oh yeah
I’m not your clown
The circus just left town today
Let the bullets fly
Let the tears overflow in your eyes
Little girl you’re a lot more trouble than fun
More trouble than fun
Little girl you’re a lot more trouble than fun
You want trouble I’ll give you trouble
Little girl you’re a lot more trouble than fun

Whole Lotta Soul
Loneliness left me when you called my name
Emptiness had me beaten by the day
I would never underestimate you
You go where the good time takes you
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
To keep the hard times behind you
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
‘Cause life can treat you unkind
Salvation calls I hear the angels sing
Sheltered by shadow of a buzzards wing
You were standing by the roadside crying
I promise you that ain’t dying, not yet
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
To keep the hard times behind you
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
‘Cause life can treat you unkind
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
To keep the hard times behind you
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
‘Cause life can treat you unkind
Let the candle in the window shine
I know it’s gonna be alright
Let the candle in the window shine
I know it’s gonna be alright
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
To keep the hard times behind you
You’ll need a whole lot of soul
‘Cause life can treat you unkind

Bite Your Tongue
You know your gums are always flapping
Tell your tongue to behave
A line of backs that you been stabbing
Still got the nerve to complain
You don’t know when
To reel it in
It’s gonna dig your grave
I think it’s best that you bite your tongue
You already said too much
I think it’s best that you bite your tongue
Try keeping your big mouth shout
You’re driving me to rack and ruin
With all your prattling on
A thunderstorm of lies you’re brewing
Just who you trying to con?
Stick in the knife
And turn it twice
It’s gone on far too long
I think it’s best that you bite your tongue
You already said too much
I think it’s best that you bite your tongue
Try keeping your big mouth shout
I think it’s best that you bite your tongue
You already said too much
I think it’s best that you bite your tongue
Try keeping your big mouth shout

Goodbye Love
Lost fallen angel
The devil rides again
Send me a postcard
On the wind
I left you a goldmine
You left me for dead
You can’t drive your wagons
Home again
Goodbye love
Goodbye Love
Goodbye heart
Goodbye heart
Say goodbye to sympathy
I hope you find yourself wherever you are
If you storm that castle
You’ll meet your bitter end
You’re gonna lose your last and
Only friend
Don’t call the papers
Forget what I said
Wait for the whispers you hear in your head
Goodbye love
Goodbye Love
Goodbye heart
Goodbye heart
Say goodbye to sympathy
I hope you find yourself wherever you are
I hope you find yourself
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye heart
Goodbye heart
Say goodbye to sympathy
I hope you find yourself wherever you are
I hope you find yourself
I hope you find yourself
Don’t undermine yourself
Don’t undermine yourself
I hope you find yourself
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
