A River’s Invitation

• A River's Invitation

  I’ve been all across the country
  And I’ve stayed in every town
  Because I’m trying to find my baby
  But no one has seen her around
  And you know which way I’m headed
  If my baby can’t be found
  I spoke to the river
  And the river spoke back to me
  it said boy you look so lonely
  You look full of misery
  And if you can’t find your baby
  Come and make your home with me
  Well, I don’t want to leave her
  Because I know she’s still alive
  And someday I’m going to find her
  And I’ll take her for a ride
  And we’ll live our lives forever
  In our home among the tide

• When It Was Wrong

  I remember baby when we were still in school
  All the good times that we shared breaking all the rules
  Tryin’a find a place with no one around
  tryin’ so hard not to make a sound
  I don’t know baby but something’s changed now
  And all I can say is it ain’t the same

  Refrain:
  Do you remember when we were hidin’ out
  Just a sneakin out for a little makin’ out
  Now that you’re here to stay you know the thrill is gone
  I liked it better when it was wrong

  You knew I had a woman
  And I knew you had a man
  But one look was all it took
  And I knew it was my chance

  So I came on over while he was gone
  Nobody but you and me baby all night long
  I don’t know baby but something’s changed now
  And all I can say is ain’t the same

  Refrain

  Everything that we’ve been looking for
  It turns out that we ain’t so sure no more
  Love is a gamble nothin’s for free
  We paid a price for those sweet memories

  Refrain

• Brokedown

  Everybody gets brokedown, everybody gets low
  But there ain’t no reason to worry about what you don’t know
  You can go looking for the high ground to see what’s down that road
  But you ain’t gonna see nothing but the seeds you sowed

  From the top of the hill you see heaven, from the top of the hill you see home
  You might feel like a stranger, but know that it won’t be long
  Ain’t no reason to hurry, to that other shore
  Cuz you ain’t gonna get nowhere, till you know what for

  You ain’t gotta pay no mind to the gather crowd’s
  Get up brother’s and sisters and sing your song out loud
  Cuz everybody gets brokedown but you keep your head up high
  Keep the weight your pullin’ and you’ll get there bye and bye

• Cry Baby Blues

  Cry baby, cry the whole night through
  Cry baby, cry the whole night through
  I’ll be right beside you cryin, because I’ve got my troubles too

  Oh baby you don’t understand
  Oh baby you don’t understand
  I don’t just wanna be your boy,  I really wanna be your man

• Jolie

  Jolie, Jolie
  How my soul is yearnin’,
  For you for you  Jolie

  Jolie, jolie
  Can’t you see I’ve fallen
  For you for you Jolie

  I’m just one of the many
  Praying for your love
  But the smile in your I seemed to tell me
  I might be the lucky one

  Oh I, I know
  I may be a fool and dreaming
  Tell me tell me Jolie
  You’ve got to tell me tell me tell me Jolie

• Crazy Girls

  I knew right from the start I saw you lookin round the room
  The kind of freak that needs a freak sure is gonna find one soon
  I looked at you, you looked at me and I knew right away
  That it was wrong but we were gonna do it anyway

  Refrain:
  You crazy girl
  Yeah you’ve got somethin’ it keeps me comin’ back
  You know it feels so good to me
  You crazy girl
  One of these days you’ll be the end of me
  Because I just can’t help myself

  My mama told me papa told grandma told me too
  Them crazy girls know where it’s at but don’t you be a fool
  Cuz once you get a taste you’re done boy ain’t no turning around
  Don’t you think I know all about what crazy girls are putting down

  Refrain

• On a Rainy Day

  Woke up this morning to the pitter patt
  Canned my plans and laid right back
  I’ve got a few more hours just to lay in bed
  And just enough butter to fry an egg

  On a rainy day

  Ain’t no place I’d rather be
  And no ones face I rather see
  I’ve got all day just to love on you
  Take a little break, and call my mama too

  On a rainy day
  Makin love on a rainy day

  Looks like the wind took the power out
  Light a few candles and burn em down
  Eat all the ice cream for it melts away
  That’s what we do on a rainy day

  On a rainy day

• This Time

  This time it’s really over
  I ain’t never never goin back

  To ya baby,  forget the good time
  I ain’t never never lookin back

  I’m just begging you please
  Just hand over the keys
  To my
  To my broken heart
  So I
  So I can love again

• Lead Me Home

  Love sweet love will lead me home

• Rockaway

  When the world around is falling down
  And things ain’t what they used to be
  There’s nothing you can hold on too
  Look to a helping hand

  Cuz everybody needs someone
  When you can’t stand up on your own
  And everybody needs to cry sometimes that’s why we’re gonna

  Rock those tears away
  Rock those tears away
  Rock those tears away
  Rock em away from here

  Everything I thought was mine
  Down to the name I used to be
  Wiped clean by the whipping winds
  And swallowed by the sea

  And I don’t know how it began
  Or just how sweet it really was
  Still a voice keeps calling me
  Telling me boy

  Rock those tears away
  Rock those tears away
  Rock those tears away
  Rockem away from here

• Long Way

  I know we’ve come a long way
  Still gotta long way to go
  Walking in the shoes of another
  Learning what we don’t wanna know

  Some jumpin’ straight to the trigger
  Saying they don’t even know why
  I know we can do better
  But we sure won’t if we’re too proud to try
