Keeping Me Alive
They said love was a thing of the past
That these days nothing ever lasts
This old world is movin too fast
Well sometimes we ride around
She plays her radio up loud
If I was sad, well, Im happy now
And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey youre getting me by
Yeah youre keeping me alive
I got a job, I work hard
These days the money dont go very far
Its hard enough keeping gas in the car
But sometimes we ride around
She plays the radio up load
If I was sad, well, Im happy now
Yeah and it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side

The Best Of Everything
She probably works in a restaurant
Thats what her momma did
But I dont know if she ever really
Could put up with it
Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I dont know if it ever
Amounted to anything
But listen honey,
Wherever you are tonight,
I wish you the best of everything, in the wo rld
And I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
Yeah and its over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
Yeah, the bad nights last forever
And the good nights dont ever seem to last
And man, we never had the real thing,
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back when we didnt understand,

Makin Some Noise
When I was a young boy
I was workin for the state
I wasnt makin much money
I was stayin out late
Go down at nighttime and
Play music in the bars
Take my breaks out underneath the stars
I was makin some noise
I was a workin boy up at the top of my voice
Sayin look at me mama Im makin some noise
I had to rock the boat, I had to shake the tree
To see whatd fall down on me
I thought maybe I can make it if I never give in
I been down before, I aint goin down again
Im makin some noise
I been a worried boy up at the top of my voice
Sayin look at me mama Im makin some noise
From across the canyon a guitar plays
Through an amplifier on a long delay
It was an ol d melody I recognized the song

Jammin Me
You got me in a corner
You got me against the wall
I got nowhere to go
I got nowhere to fall
Take back your insurance
Baby nothins guaranteed
Take back your acid rain
Baby let your t.v. bleed
Youre jammin me, youre jammin me ,
Quit jammin me
Baby you can keep me painted in a corner
You can look away, but its not over
Take back your angry slander
Take back your pension plan
Take back your ups and downs of your life
In raisin-land
Tak e back vanessa redgrave
Take back joe piscopo
Take back eddie murphy
Givem all some place to go

Up In Mississippi Tonight
Sallys up in mississippi tonight
With a man she hardly knows
Sallys wearin brand new clothes
Opportunity dont knock twice
So sally said, bye, bye
I hope she is alright
Up in mississippi tonight
Sally left before the sun could rise
When the city man came to town
She turned his head around
It was love with just one look
When she saw the size of his pocketbook
Oh sallys doin fine
Shes up in mississippi tonight
But theres a mountain boy whos gonna remember you
And sally youre one old girl he hates to lose
But you did what you had to do
You know Im happy for you
But sometimes please think of me up there in biloxi
Sallys up in mississippi tonight

Too Much Aint Enough
Looks like you got a little more to lose
N ow a little more at stake
I see youve had a hard time
Livin with the change
Youve got me up in line
Now tryin to call your bluff
But you just wont be satisfied
Too much aint enough
It aint enough, it aint enough
Youre standing by the telephone
Waitin for the word
And ever since that bathroom scene
Theres been a slight concern
Im trying to make this easy baby
You seem to like things rough
You just cant be satisfied
Too much ain t enough
It aint enough, it aint enough.
Too much baby aint enough no way
Too much baby aint enough no way

One More Day, One More Night
One more night, God Ive had to fight
To keep my line of sight on whats real
One more day I fear Ive lost my way
I dont know how to say what I feel
Someone better hurry Im all alone
And I keep breaking down
Breaking down, you know?
No one ever taught me to be on my own
And I keep breaking down
Breaking down, you know?
One more night my eyes reflect the light
In the distance something bright appears
One more day its too hard to explain
What goes on in my brain is not clear
Someone better hurry Im all alone
And I keep breaking down
Breaking down, you know?
No one ever taught me to be on my own
Yeah and I keep breaking down
Breaking down, you know?

A Thing About You
Im not much on mystery
Yeah you gotta be careful what you dream
I thought this might pass with time
Yeah I thought I was satisfied
But oh baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It dont matter what you say
It dont matter what you do
I , i, i, got a thing about you
Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
Lovers hold each other tight
Whisper in their anxious ears
Words of love that disappear
But oh baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It dont matter what you say
It dont matter what you do
I, i, i, got a thing about you
Baby you own some strange control over me
Yeah its so wild it hypnotizes me

Needles & Pins
I saw her today, I saw her face
It was a face I loved and I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray
That thered come a day
And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride
The tears Ive got to hide
Oh, I thought I was smart
Ill hold her heart
Didnt think Id do
But know I see
Shes worse to him than me
Let her go ahead, and take his love instead
And one day she will see
Just how to say please
And get down on her knees
Yeah thats how it begins
Needles and pins
I know, I know

Strangered In The Night
Well it was dark at midnight
There was hardly any moon
And no one really saw much
No one was really sure
But something didnt seem right
Something seemed kinda queer
The roar turned into whispers
Everyone stood t here
When the sounds fit the night
Something hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Well I didnt see them shotguns
I didnt see no knife
I saw this crazy black guy
With a demon in his eyes
I heard him say white man
Ive seen that silver cue
You dont remember me well
But I remember you
When the sounds fit the night
