Carolina (Out Of My Mind) 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Drove all night to see Bonnie Raitt It was a long weekend on a holiday It’s been a long time Since I’ve been out your way Feels just like yesterday Oh my, wouldn’t that be nice To see your name up in the marquee lights You sing your heart out most every night I know you’ll make it someday I would be lying to tell you I’ve been fine I was pushing Carolina out of my mind I was getting tired of the sunshine anyway Hey Mama, is that just for me? A Motel 6 off 17 What a time to make believe I’m still in love I’d like to hear you sing a highway song I was leaving in the evening I was gone by dawn Waiting on you never felt so long I know you like it that way I hear you breaking up that Nashville crowd With a new band that plays real loud You know I’ve always liked that lonesome sound I’ve always liked it that way I would be lying to tell you I’ve been fine I was pushing Carolina out of my mind I was getting tired of the sunshine anyway Hey Mama, is that just for me? A cold dark room with a color TV What a time to make believe I’m still in love

Deepest Darkest Blue 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I’m a little bit out of touch And I’ve got nothing To show you something You might have felt before I’m a little bit overwhelmed With all this runnin’ When it’s coming down to a price I can’t afford I wonder If I’ll ever find another Lover like you Now I’m changing color To the deepest darkest blue A little hard to see through Now the water is a fine place for diving And the orchard is a pretty place to lay Yesterday I only felt like crying Without you it doesn’t feel the same I wonder if I’ll ever find another Lover like you Now I’m changing color To the deepest darkest blue A little hard to see through I reckon I’ll grow my hair long again For the early yellow morning For an evening highway wind I reckon I’ll grow my hair long again For the blue and yellow morning For the evening highway wind Will I fall in love again Could I fall in love again Will I fall in love again

Carnival Cruise, Talkin' Blues 02:51
lyrics
buy track
You can gaze at your phone When you feel alone Check out the news Just to catch some blues I saw you dance on a Carnival Cruise Looked like you had a ball I got a heart that ticks off time The doctor tells me it’ll be just fine It beats so hard keeps me up at night Some shut eye would be alright Just go when you feel low Skip town when you feel down Get high when your friends come around Man I got a lot of friends Tell a joke when you know you’re broke Sing a song when your money’s all gone I’ll be back in the saddle before too long I’m pinching pennies ‘til the day I die Could you spare a dollar for a stand up guy Now I’m a junk yard dog you don’t wanna pet I’ll be your microwave dinner by the TV set I’ve been a hollow log ever since you left Why’d you have to leave But I found a new gal she’s 6 foot three Likes little guys so she chose me I’m her little spoon she’s my cup of tea Watch it man she’s hot We live way out in the woods so nobody can see When we get to jumping naked on my trampoline Doing back flips and feeling free No pads and rusty springs My momma gave birth in a caravan Left my daddy for the Allman Brothers Band Lord I was born a ramblin’ man They wrote that song for me We both found Jesus at the pearly gates On a big billboard on the interstate Call 1-800-KNO-UR-FAITH Is it heaven or hell call now don’t wait

If You're Like Me 02:48
lyrics
buy track
If you’re like me Sometimes a little lonesome And you can’t get back the time Since love has flown You felt the need for company But there’s just no place to turn You’re tired of facing every day alone If you’re like me There’s someone that you dream of Someone that the past has never shown If you’re like me You’ve never felt the wind that’s never blown Or a place you’ve never seen You could call home If you’re like me You’ve never learned to settle Just fine wasn’t good enough to take You’ve just begun to wonder If it isn’t you to blame? Did love pass you by Without an honest shake? If you’re like me When every day is ending And the sun lights up the moon From parts unknown And you finally hit the pillow With one last lonesome groan If you’re like me, then know you’re not alone If you’re like me, then know you’re not alone

Took You Out on the Road 03:21
lyrics
buy track
I’m sorry that I took you out on the road Two sweaters and a sleeping bag And you still were so damn cold I didn’t mean to get us busted in New Mexico I should have left my marijuana in Denver Got you sayin’ “I told you so” Life on the highway has got me feeling fine Get your little fingers off my stereo Who the hell doesn’t like John Prine? Got your mama on the telephone I can hear her crying Baby come home, quit getting stoned That boy’s gonna ruin your mind I’m sorry we both left your brother for dead You took Tempe, I took Phoenix He was right there between us Sleeping in an old truck bed I wish Wyoming didn’t wind up that way I broke down in Rawlins, spent 8 days watchin’ Mule deer eating garbage in the rain Life on the highway Has got me singing from the heart Get your little fingers off my stereo Who the hell doesn’t like Guy Clark? I got a mouth full of bad words All we do is yell and shout If you don’t like me Or this old truck Anywhere is fine to let you out

Back Patio 03:35
lyrics
buy track
You’ve got the front porch I’ve got the back patio You’re with your book I’m with my radio I’ve been pulling third shift Back and forth from Buffalo You say for twenty-five I act so old All my songs make you feel lonesome When I keep singing for Annmarie If you’ve got love left would you show some You used to be so sweet to me Now I get tired of all this working Feels like I haven’t slept in weeks You’ve been talking Egyptian cotton You drove all the way to the Brooklyn flea You came home with a dream catcher A two dollar white noise machine You lost your dreams all together And you just stopped hearing me Now all my songs make you feel lonesome When I keep singing for Annmarie If you’ve got love left would you show some And this ain’t all you hoped to be You were hoping we might grow some But mostly you just grew away from me

Long Sleeve Summer Blues 01:49
lyrics
buy track
Could you call him one time for me He knows I’m broke I heard your gal got away With a car yesterday I’ll keep that on the low Could you tell her what I need From Buffalo I wish I had a reason or rhyme For the things I do When they sent me upstate You said I was a mistake Just a phase you were going through Now I’m a face to forget you once knew Hello old friend My it’s fine to see you again Tell me how long it’s been? I’ll tell you too long What’s the good word? Nothing new? Got something I could hold onto? I still shiver just like you I got the long sleeve summer blues I got the long sleeve summer blues I got the long sleeve summer blues
