of the two of us i know i've been the fool right from the start
every other day i fumble for the light switch to your heart
but lately i been thinkin
you're gettin mighty cold
and if it ain't the switch honey
well it just might be the bulb
oh won't you cut on the lights Mary Anna
won't you cut on that midnight sun
won't you cut on the lights Mary Anna
i can't wait for the mornin
the mornin to come
of the two of us i know you've got the looks and all the charm
every other day i'm humbled just to hold you in my arms
but lately i been thinkin
you might not give a damn
and i don't want to be somebody's every other day man
CHORUS
you been puttin me on like your makeup
this love in the dark well it's wrong
honey i'm fixin to wake up
'cause i like my lovin with the light on

Pay Attention
03:29
|
|

Please pay attention to me
was the last thing i heard 'fore i drifted to sleep
children to tend to
and a worryin' mind
too much to do
and not enough time
I hate to be needy selfish and greedy
please pay attention to me
Please pay attention to me
was last thing i heard comin out of my dream
I got something to tell you
when the sun has gone down
if you don't listen
I talk much too loud
I hate to be needy
selfish and greedy
please pay attention to me
won't you look my way
I'm waving my arms
and I'm calling your name
there's too much to mention
that grabs your attention
please pay attention to me
wish i could cut myself free
why should i care if you listen to me
children to tend to
and a worryin mind
too much to do
and not enough time
I hate to be needy selfish and greedy
I hate to keep asking and beggin and pleadin
I'm down on my knees under your window screaming
please pay attention to me
please pay attention to me
please pay attention to me

Stumbled In
04:46
|
|
||
you give me chills
when you sing so sweet
you make me feel it
from my neck to my feet
you get me sky high
with chicken skin
this must be heaven
and i stumbled in
i see your voice
when i close my eyes
it's a light shinin
and it's shinin so bright
i'm in the shadow
of your snow white wings
this must be heaven
and i stumbled in
i stumbled in
i stumbled in
i just found heaven
with a touch of sin
i couldn't feel
any better
you could knock me down
with a feather
cut me in half
with a blade of grass
this must be heaven
and i hope it lasts
i stumbled in
i stumbled in
i dont mind the neon and the smoke
and your breath of gin
'cause i just found heaven
with a touch of sin

When I Was Young
03:46
|
|
||
when i was young i didn't look at the clouds and hope for the rain
when i was young i didn't think this life should ever bring me sorrow
when i was young i thought someday everybody's gonna know my name
when i was young the hardest work i had was waitin' for tomorrow
when i was young i used to wake up early in the mornin'
when i was young i could climb up a mountain no matter how tall
when i was young i didn't listen to anybody's warnin'
when i was young i could jump i wasn't afraid to fall
now i'm grown
and things are not exactly what they seem
the older i get
the less i know and the more i dream
when i was young i didn't worry 'bout money in my pocket
when i was young i didn't think i'd every need to buy a diamond ring
when i was young i used to put my heart in a cage and lock it
when i was young i could talk about love but i didn't know a thing
now i'm grown
and things are not exactly what they seem
the bigger i get
the smaller the world and the less it all means
when i was young i used to say my prayers without the feelin"
when i was young i didn't worry 'bout the things i couldn't understand
when i was young i didn't know anything about hurtin' and healin"
when i was young i guess i didn't believe i'd ever be a man
now i'm grown
and things are not exactly what they seem
i think about God
and wonder does he think about me

The Shore
04:16
|
|
||
sometimes i go to the river
just to watch it flow
it ripples and it dances
i don't know where it goes
you brought me to the edge
but i held you to the ground
i thought i knew better
then to let you in the water
baby it's time to
take your hand and
leave behind what i know
maybe it's time to
follow you down to the river
and let go of the shore
once i thought i knew
how everything should be
i would damn up the river
blinded by what i wanted to see
CHORUS
i tried to change you
i didn't understand
but now all i want to do
is get down on my knees and thank you
CHORUS

Made It Up The Mountain
03:44
|
|
||
Speakin' of lyin'
well I told a few
they say that's not what Jesus would do
I been tempted red white and blue
but you'll understand when your in my shoes
I was just findin my way
i don't believe
i don't believe i'd'a made it up the mountain
i don't believe
i don't believe i'd'a climbed so high
i don't believe
i don't believe i'd'a made it up the mountain
without the fire
burnin' under my behind
Speaking of bridges
well I burned a few
talk about cheatin' and bendin' some rules
it might not sound like what a man should do
but you'll understand when you're in my shoes
I was just finding my way
CHORUS
Speaking of fallin
and breakin in two
talkin' bout love and i had a few
but you keep on climbin to get to the truth
you gotta burn a few holes in those shoes
if you're gonna find your way
CHORUS

Rainbow
03:55
|
|
||
you come from nowhere
you show me everything i never see
you shine the light into the dark
of the things that i believe
you wake me up
give me hope
bring me piece when i'm asleep
you see rainbows when i see rain
isn't that strange
don't make me wait for the rain
don't make me wait for the rain
you called an end to all the lies
the secrets and the shame
you said its only up to me
to make a change and take the blame
i wanna know
how did you learn the rules
and rise above the game
CHORUS
i cant wait for the next rainy day
when you come wash my troubles away
i don't mind the pain
but i hate waiting
CHORUS

Blue And Green
03:31
|
|
||
can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue
sit down in your chair boy
eat your supper and leave your brother alone
i was once just like you
i was green and blue
my mother told my father one day
how much she had loved her life with him
then she rose up from her body
and vanished in the blue and green of spring
she was once just like me
now she's gone into the blue and green
blue and green
blue and green
you ain't lived 'til you seen the blue and green
you should've seen my grandmother
she was tough and strong as any man
but she was sweet and gentle when
she held you like the lover she used to have
he was gone
now so is she
but they live on in the blue and green
CHORUS
keep on growin' up so fast
and life'll hit you hard as you can take
tell me all your troubles boy
and i will try to take those troubles away
you were once just like me
we're all comin' from the blue and green
CHORUS
can't you hear your momma talkin'
she told you to hush your rattlin' tongue
