Sorry baby but I've gotta go
It's almost winter and I hate the snow
Leaves are falling and the cold wind is starting to blow
Sorry baby but I just can't stay
Thank you for the offer any way
But there's a warm wind calling from my
long lost southern home
long lost southern home
ooh yeah, uh uh
Sorry baby but I've got to run
Summer's over and I've had my fun
I'm leaving this city
Heading out on my own
This time tomorrow I'll be on my way
All alone along the long highway
'cause there s a warm wind calling from my
long lost southern home
long lost southern home
ooh yeah, uh uh
Sorry baby but long goodbyes
just ain;t my specialty
And living here in this cold north town
It ain't no life for me
Sorry baby but I've gotta go
It's almost winter and I hate the snow
And there's a warm wind calling from my
long lost southern home
long lost southern home
ooh yeah, uh uh
Ooh yeah long lost southern home

Fireflies
03:30

We captured some Fireflies
In an old Mason jar
We both made a wish on a far away star
The days passed us slowly
And the summer's were long
And we danced the night to a beautiful song
Long, long gone
We captured some memories
In these old photographs
I look at them now and it takes me back
But the years flew by quickly
And the summer's rolled on
You moved away and the magoc was gone
Lpng long gone
I still remember the warm summer rain
The first taste of love on our lips
I still remember the warm summer rain
The first taste of love on our lips
We captured some Fireflies
In an old Mason jar
We both made a wish on a far away star
The days passed us slowly
And the summer's were long
And we danced the night to a beautiful song
Long, long gone

Caroline
04:28
|

|
It's as simple as a lullaby that rocks the child to sleep
It's as vast as the ocean and just as deep
It's as pure as a falling snow on a dark December day
It's the way you loved me before I went my way
Chorus:
And I miss you Caroline and I hope you're well
And I hope it all works out alright
Oh I miss you Caroline out here so alone
And oh so very far from home
It's as sad as the song I sing on this lonesome road I roam
It's as lonely as a child lost that can't find his way home
It's as dark as a forest deep in the blackest shade of night
It's the way i feel right now without you by my side
Chorus
Break:
Oh Caroline the day I left you
It's etched so deeply in my mind oh oh
And on this cold November morning here alone
I'm wondering now what I thought I'd find
It's as long as the road I'm on and as distant as the stars
It's the hum of the highway the passing of the cars
It's as stark as a certain truth or a sudden twist of fate
It's knowing what I know right now but knowing much too late
And I miss you Caroline and I hope you're well
And I hope it all works out alright
And I miss you Caroline
And I'm out here on my own
And oh so very far
I'm oh so very far from home

Lost Souls

Are they taking on water
"bout to go down down down?
Lord have mercy on spols not found
Lost Souls
Are there guardian angels
Anywhere near
Are they searching the heavens
For souls not here
Lost souls
Lost souls floating through the universe
Lost souls stranded in the sky
Lost souls
Out on the skyline
Past the milky way
Are the constellations
Just souls unclaimed
Lost souls
Lost souls floating through the universe
Lost souls stranded in the sky
Lost souls
In the heart of the darkness
Or the broad light of day
Are they all around us
Yet so far away
Lost souls
Lost souls

I got a song in my heart and a guitar right here in my hand
I do I do I do I do I do
Got a song in my heart and a guitar right here in my hand
Got a song in my heart and a guitar right here in my hand
I'm just an open nic singer picking in a one man band
Hot damn, let's jam
Got a song in my heart and a guitar right here in my hand
Got a song in my heart and a guitar right here in my hand
I'm just an open mic singer doing the best I can
That's right uh-huh
Well we got a few licks
Got a few picks
Got a few tricks
Gotta get my fix
With this song in my heart and this guitar right here in my hands
With this song in my heart and this guitar right here in my hands
Come on everybody you just got to clap your hands
On two and four now here we go
Well we got a few licks
Got a few picks
Got a few tricks
Gotta get in the mix
With these songs in our hearts and these guitars
right here in our hands
With these songs in our hearts and these guitars
right here in our hands
We're just the open mic singers picking in our one man bands
We're just the open mic singers
Picking in our ever-loving one man bands

Watching the World Burn
04:14

There's a firestorm brewin' !!!!!!!!!
I'm hanging here on the world's front lawn
Pondering the devastation
Man what a desperate situation
Just look at 'em go
From the left and from the right
It's all about to come undone
Gather 'round my friend's
the end's begun
And I'll just hang with the rest of y'all
Watching the World burn
My mind's a spinning 'bout a million miles an hour
I can feel the raging flames
Man what a deadly, deadly game
The blue and the gray and the black, brown and white
Are all out fighting 'neath a blood orange sky
The stage is set, the tinder is dry
And I'll just hang with the rest of y'all
Watching the World burn
It's hot out here and that ain't just me
Ooh look at that TV (This just in!!)
This mother fucker's getting real, real, real
I've got marshmallows, hot dogs and beer
It's gonna be a hell of a night
(We're making s'mores)
Man what a dreadful, dreadful sight (Alright!)
It's all burning up in a big red ball of fire
And a blazing stream of molten goo (Oh well)
Seems like a fine enough time for a barbeque
And I'll just hang with the rest of y'all
Watching the World burn (There it goes)

Million Dollar Bill
03:35
|

|
I wish I had a million dollar bill
I'd buy myself a brand new Chevrolet
And drive it on over the hill
And whistle while the world goes whipping away
If I had a million dollar bill
I wish I had a million dollar bill
I'd jump for joy cuz I'd be rich at last
I'd drive down to the old steel mill
And tell my boss to go and kiss my ass
If I had a million dollar bill
If I had a million dollar bill
Man oh man, I'd really have it made
If I had a million dollar bill
I'd buy myself a dark dark pair of shades
(Solo)
I wish I had a million dollar bill
I'd go downtown and get some caviar
and gamble at the roulette wheel
and tell my chauffeur to go and get me my car
If I had a million dollar bill
If I had a million dollar bill
Man oh man, I'd really have it made
If I had a million dollar bill
I'd buy myself a dark dark pair of shades
If I had a million dollar bill
Man oh man, I'd really have it made
If I had a million dollar bill
I'd buy myself a dark dark pair of shades

Sweet Green Elixir
03:57

Here comes Mary
She's looking awful pale
Her eyes are all red
And she looks like hell
Her hair's a mess
and she got stink breath
I think she's been drinking
that elixir of death
Look at her kids, lord
They're headed off to school
They look like zombies
as they stomp and drool
And there's her hubby, Bill
Lord I swear he's turning green
He got the shakes and the shivers
By the soda machine
Chorus:
I think they been drinking that
sweet green elixir of death woo hoo
Half alie and almost out of breath
Two liter, four liter, six liter, eight
We drink it all day 'cause it tastes so great
'cause it's the sweet green elixir of death y'all
Chug it down, chug it down
Yonder comes Sally
She's rollin' down the road
She's headed out to Walmart
to get her some more
of that sweet green elixir
She's a nervous wreck
And she got no teeth
'
She got a limp and a stagger
and she's just 23
Solo
My buddy Jamal, lord
He slams 'em like a freak
He drinks so much
It makes him wail and shriek
Grandpa, Katie, Eric, Adam
Larry, Chuck and Dave
We're all out riding
on a sweet green wave
We all been drinking that sweet green elixir of death
Half alive and almost out of breath
Two liter, four liter, six liter, eight
We drink it all day 'cause it tastes so great
'cause it's the sweet green elixir of death y'all
Chug it down, chug it down
Repeat

Walmart

It's Wednesday 2:00 pm and I'm fresh out of beets
I'm also out of toothpaste and those tasty cheesy treats
I can wait no longer it's time to depart
I've got to face the cold dark truth
I've got to go to Walmart (ne ne ne no no no)
I need some toilet tissue some green beans and some steaks
Some motor oil and aluminum foil and a box of frosted flakes
So I'm circling around the lot
But there's not one place to park
Heaven help me to be strong
I'm here to shop at Walmart
They've got everything you'd ever need
And the prices are all so low
But I become a shriveled nervous wreck
Whenever I've got to go
I need a roll of duct tape some underwear and beef stew
Some nasal spray and a milky way and a case of Mountain Dew
That little old lady over there
Just ran my ankle over with her cart
I'm limping towards the check out line
I've gotta get out of Walmart (ne ne ne no no no)
They've got everything you'd ever need
And the prices are all so low
But I become a shriveled nervous wreck
Whenever I've got to go
It's Wednesday 10;00 pm and I'n finally on my way
It's been rough but I got my stuff though I wasted half the day
Oh doggonit! I forgot to get cherry tarts
I've gotta turn this old car around
And get on back to Walmart

When I'm On My Way
04:31

Sometimes I wonder wby I ever leave your arms
To go out in this big old lonely world
Always chasing rainbows that I know I'll never find
Always leads me back home to you girl
Chorus;
When I'm on my way
Back home to you
It's such a sweet song I sing
When I'm on my way
Back home to you
It's all my love that I bring
Sometimes I wonder why I go so far away
It always makes me feel so sad
No matter where I go your love's right here with me
And that's what always leads me back
Chorus
Solo
When I'm on my way
Back home to you
It's such a sweet song I sing
When I'm on my way
Back home to you
It's all my love that I bring
When I'm on my way
Back home to you
It's such a sweet song I sing
