Dayton, Ohio - 1903
Sing a song of long ago
When things were green and movin slow
And peopled stop to say hello
Or theyd say hi to you
Would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me?
Its a real nice way
To spend the day
In dayton, ohio
On a lazy sunday afternoon in 1903
Sing a song of long ago
When things could grow
And days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see
And folks were nice to you
Would you like to come over for tea
With the missus and me?
Its a real nice way
To spend the day
In dayton, ohio

Guilty
Yes, baby, I been drinkin
And I shouldnt come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go
Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin
Til I was back in your arms again
Guilty, baby Im guilty
And Ill be guilty the rest of my life
How come I never do what Im supposed to do
How come nothin that I try to do ever turns out right?
You know, you know how it is with me baby
You know, I just cant stand myself
And it takes a whole lot of medicine
For me to pretend that Im somebody else

Bad News From Home
High on a cliff in mexico
Staring down at the rocks and the sea below
I can hear the church bells ring
I can hear the choir
I remember the night she left
I drove to the station in the pouring rain
Sat all night behind my big iron desk
The oil on the water made a rainbow
At the end of this bone-white gravel road
They both lie sleeping on a feather bed
And her hair is black as the sky at night
But her eyes are gray like the moon
You can run but you cant hide
You can run but you cant hide
You said you love me but I know you lied
You said you love me but I know you lied

I Miss You
Something in me cant be straight about romance. I dont completely mean this song - Im not going to move up next door to my first wife, who lives in idaho. this one reminds me of that neil you
Ng, look out for my love, which says, its in your neighborhood, like, beware. but I miss you is genuine. I love my ex-wife. my boys told me I better warn her
This song was coming. she knows me, though - she knows Id sell anyone out for a song. we were married 18 years and I never wrote a song about her in all that time. actually, Ive never written
Ng about anyone in my whole life.

Marie
You looked like a princess the night we met
With your hair piled up high
I will never forget
Im drunk right now baby
But Ive got to be
Or I never could tell you
What you mean to me
Chorus
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you marie
Youre the song that the trees sing when the wind blows
Youre a flower, youre a river, youre a rainbow
Sometimes Im crazy
But I guess you know
And Im weak and Im lazy
And Ive hurt you so
And I dont listen to a word you say
When youre in trouble I just turn away

Falling In Love
Your eyelids are gettin heavy
Hard to lift
Your mind begins to wander
Things start to drift
Your arms are getting heavy
Hard to lift
You sink down a little deeper
Youre feeling wonderful
(chorus)
Maybe youre falling in love
Maybe youre falling in love
Maybe youre falling, falling, falling, falling in love
You stare across the harbor
At the lights along the bay
Your arms have got so heavy, now
Theyre just getting in your way
Look
Now youre walkin in the holy land
Yeah, thats you there, walkin with the king
You ask what have I done to deserve this?

Birmingham
Got a wife, got a family
Earn my livin with my hand
Im a roller in a steel mill
In downtown birmingham
My daddy was a barber
And a most unsightly man
He was born in tuscaloosa
But he died right here in birmingham
Chorus
Birmingham, birmingham
The greatest city in alabam
You can travel cross this entire land
But theres no place like birmingham
Wifes named mary
But shes called marie
We live in a three room house
With a pepper tree
I work all day in the factory
Thats alright with me
Got a big black dog
