I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
Now I remember, my first love (I remember)
Of course the whole thing went wrong (I remember)
And my mama had some great advice (I remember)
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
'Cause I can still hear her sayin' (I remember)
[Verse 1]
She said, "Boy (Boy, ... | Only the Strong Survive | 2022 | Only the Strong Survive |
[Verse 1]
I woke up feeling the sunshine
Drift across my face
It took me back to emotions
From another time and place
Those yesterdays
Cruising in my Chevrolet
I held my baby in my arms
But my first love was always those songs

Talkin' about those sweet soul days

Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing his song, his heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds, I still can hear him say
"Oh, talk to me, so you can see what's going on"
Say you will sing your songs forevermore

Here I am on bended knees
I lay my heart down at your feet
Do I love you?
All you have to do is ask
I'll give until there's nothing left
Do I love you?
As long as there is life in me
Your happiness is guaranteed
I'll fill your heart with ecstasy, darling
[Chorus]
Do I love you?
Tell me now
Do I love you?

[Verse 1]
Loneliness is the cloak you wear
A deep shade of blue
Is always there
[Chorus]
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Baby
[Verse 2]
Emptiness is the place you're in
There's nothing to lose
But no more to win
[... | Only the Strong Survive | 2022 | The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore |
[Verse 1]
Oh, darlin', I'm so lonely without you
I can't sleep at night
Just thinkin' about you
But if I had the chance to start all over
I'd be wishing today on a four leaf clover
And leaving would be the last thing on my mind
[Chorus]
If I could turn back the hands of time (If I could turn back the hands of time)
If... | Only the Strong Survive | 2022 | Turn Back the Hands of Time |

Well, she used to be
Everything to me

This is what I want you to say

I want you to tell her that I'm all alone
I tried to call her on the phone
Tell her I'm in misery
And I think she's avoiding me

[Verse 1]
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone astray
And with her went my future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you, it might sound strange

Don't play that song for me
Though it brings back sweet memories
Of the days that I once knew
Of the days I spent with you

It fills my heart with pain
Please stop it right away

Here you come again
You say that you're my friend
But I know why you're here right now

Any other way

Have I told you lately that I love you?

'Neath a crowd of mongrel trees I pulled that bothersome thread
Got down on my knees, grabbed my pen and bowed my head

Well, Janey's got a doctor who tears apart her insides
He investigates her and silently baits her sighs
He probes with his fingers
But knows her heart only through his stethoscope
His hands are cold and his body's so old
Janey turns him down like dope

Faded pictures in an old scrapbook
Faded pictures that somebody took
When you were hard and young and proud
Backed against the wall, running raw and loud

Snakeskin vest and a sharkskin suit
Cuban heels on your boots
You kick in the band and side-by-side
You take the crowd on their mystery ride

Parched crops dying 'neath a dead sun
We've been praying but no good comes

There's a light on yonder mountain
And it's calling me to shine
There's a girl over by the water fountain
And she's asking to be mine
And Jesus is standing in the doorway
In a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine
He says, "We need you son tonight up in Dodge City

Thumb stuck out as I go
I'm just travelin' up the road
Maps don't do much for me, friend
I follow the weather and the wind

Got what I can carry and my song

[Verse 1]
It's the same sad story, love and glory goin' 'round and 'round
It's the same old cliché, a wanderer on his way, slippin' from town to town
Some find peace here on the sweet streets, the sweet streets of home
Where kindness falls and your heart calls for a permanent place of your own

I got so down-and-out in 'Frisco
Tired of the pills and the rain
I picked up, headed for the sunshine
I left a good thing behind
Seemed all of our love was in vain
Now my baby's coming in on the Tucson train

I come here lookin' for a new life
One I wouldn't have to explain
To that voice that keeps ... | Western Stars | 2019 | Tucson Train |

I wake up in the morning, just glad my boots are on
Instead of empty in the whispering grasses

On the set, the makeup girl brings me two raw eggs and a shot of gin
Then I give it all up for that little blue pill
That promises to bring it all back to you again

There's a place out on the highway ’cross the San Bernardino line
Where the truckers and the bikers gather every night at the same time
At seven the band comes in and locals dance the night away
At Sleepy Joe's Café

I drive on down from the big town Friday when the clock strikes five
As the red sun... | Western Stars | 2019 | Sleepy Joe's Café |
[Verse 1]
I got two pins in my ankle and a busted collarbone
A steel rod in my leg, but it walks me home
At nine, I climbed high into the boughs of our neighborhood's tallest tree
I don't remember the fear, just the breeze
[Chorus]
Drive fast, fall hard, I'll keep you in my heart
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't mind... | Western Stars | 2019 | Drive Fast (The Stuntman) |

Guess it was somethin' I shouldn't have done
Guess I regret it now
Ever since I was a kid
Tryin' to keep my temper down is like
Chasin' wild horses, chasin' wild horses

Left my home, left my friends
I didn't say goodbye

Just wishing you were here with me, in Sundown

Sundown ain't the kind of place you want to be on your own
It's all long, hot, endless days and cold nigh... | Western Stars | 2019 | Sundown |

Came into town with a pocketful of songs
I made the rounds but I didn't last long
Now I'm out on this highway with a bone-cold chill
Somewhere north of Nashville

Makin' a list of things that I didn't do right

Had enough of heartbreak and pain
I had a little sweet spot for the rain
For the rain and skies of grey
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?

You know I always liked my walking shoes
But you can get a little too fond of the blues
You walk too far, you walk away
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?

There's a place on a blank stretch of road where
Nobody travels and nobody goes and the

Where two young folks could probably up and disappear into
Rustlin' sheets, a sleepy corner room
Into the musty smell

One night in a motel room
Eyes cast like steel
I drank the wine that they left on my table
I knew the morning was too far

And built me an ark of gopherwood and pitch

[Verse 1]
Well, if the sun should fall from the sky tomorrow
If the rain brings a tear to your eye, I would share your sorrow
If you must go then take your leave
Our love was strong, our love was sweet
[Refrain]
But we were walking on the wild side
Running down a one way street
[Verse 2]
In the night I see only the f... | The Promise | 2010 | One Way Street |
[Verse 1]
Take me now, baby, here as I am
Hold me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
[Pre-Chorus]
Come on now, try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand, come undercover
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can... | The Promise | 2010 | Because the Night |
[Verse 1]
Turn on the radio, turn off the lights
We'll bring an end, darling, to your endless night
Here on the wrong side of the street
[Verse 2]
I see your fortune in the lines in your face
I know you're looking for your saving grace
You're on the wrong side of the street
[Chorus]
Fear and desire, such a sweet conf... | The Promise | 2010 | Wrong Side of the Street |
[Verse 1]
Well darling, oh won't you come a little closer?
I promise pretty darling, I didn't know what I was saying
And now I'm praying that you won't say it's over
Come here pretty baby and rest your head upon my shoulder
Just one kiss and we started
[Chorus]
Now don't leave me to the brokenhearted
The brokenhearted... | The Promise | 2010 | The Brokenhearted |
[Verse 1]
I had a dream our love would last forever
I had a dream last night, she had a dream too
She'll be there tonight
If I'm down then she'll make me feel right
[Refrain]
Ooh, rendezvous
[Verse 2]
Haven't I told you, girl, how much I like you?
I got a feeling that you like me too
Well, if you'll hold me tight
We'... | The Promise | 2010 | Rendezvous |
[Verse 1]
Well, in Candy's room there are pictures of her savior on the wall
But to get to Candy's room you've gotta walk the darkness of Candy's hall
Strangers from the city call my baby's number and they bring Candy toys
But when I come knockin' she smiles pretty
She knows tonight I'm gonna be Candy's boy
[Verse 2]
... | The Promise | 2010 | Candy's Boy |
[Verse 1]
Now there's something coming through the air that softly reminds me
Tonight I'll park out on the hill and wait until they find me
Here slippin' through the ether, a voice is comin' through
So keep me in your heart tonight and I'll save my love for you
[Verse 2]
So turn up your radio and darlin', dial me in c... | The Promise | 2010 | Save My Love |
[Verse 1]
Well you don't like, don't like the way I walk
And you don't like, don't like the way I talk
You criticize about me endlessly
Logic defies how you get stuck with me
And you complain about the clothes I wear
And you explain there's other boys out there
You complain my car makes too much noise
And you cry I'm a... | The Promise | 2010 | Ain't Good Enough for You |
[Verse 1]
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
[Verse 2]
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher
Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
[Bridge]
Sometimes it's like someone took a... | The Promise | 2010 | Fire |
[Verse 1]
Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
Baby, I been watching you for a long, long time
Come close, we could have us some fun
And after the burning is done
Our ruins will shine through the night
Where you took me with your Spanish eyes
[Verse 2]
He's your Saturday night s... | The Promise | 2010 | Spanish Eyes |
[Verse 1]
Well, I walk the way you want me to
And I'll talk the way you want me to
And I've tried to do all I can just to please you
Well, I work hard every day for you
And I brought home all my pay for you
And I've cried my tears through the rain night and again
[Chorus]
And oh woah girl, it's a shame
Oh woah girl, i... | The Promise | 2010 | It's a Shame |
[Verse 1]
Put on your black dress baby and put your hair up right
There's a party way down in factory town tonight
I'll be going down there if you need a ride
Come on, come on, let's go tonight
[Verse 2]
How many men fail, their dreams denied?
They walk through these streets with death in their eyes
Now the man on the... | The Promise | 2010 | Come On (Let's Go Tonight) |
[Verse 1]
Well, every night I see a light shine in your window
And every night you don't answer when I come knockin' at your door
Your daddy won't ever let me in
And I see from the street your silhouette sittin' close to him
What must I do, what does it take to get you to
[Chorus]
Oh, talk to me
Well, until the night'... | The Promise | 2010 | Talk to Me |
[Verse 1]
The way she kisses so tenderly
The way she gives her love to me
I been foiled by the graces and angels up above
[Chorus]
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
The little things my baby does
That make me love her

The way she sighs when I hold her tight

Sonny abandoned his car last night
Had a meeting on the docks with a light blue Monterey
To breakaway
Sonny was playing all his cards last night
In a hotel room he dealt his life away
To breakaway

Now the promises and the lies, they demand it
Let the hearts that have been broken stand as the price y... | The Promise | 2010 | Breakaway |

Johnny works in a factory
And Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock and roll band
Looking for that million-dollar sound
And I got a little job down in Darlington
But some nights I don't go
Some nights I go to the drive-in
Or some nights I stay home
[Bridge]
I followed that dream
Just like those guys do ... | The Promise | 2010 | The Promise |

Taxi cab, taxi cab, at the light
Won't you take me on a ride through this city of night?
I got some money and I'm feeling fine
I ain't in no hurry so just take your time
[Verse 2]
Some people wanna die young and gloriously
But taxi cab driver, well, that ain't me
I got a cute little baby down at Twelfth and ... | The Promise | 2010 | City of Night |
[Verse 1]
He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
At six months old, he'd done three months in jail
He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."
[Chorus]
I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
[Verse 2]
At twenty-five, a mustang ... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Outlaw Pete |
[Verse 1]
In the room where fortune falls
On a day when chance is all
In the dark of fierce exile
I felt the grace of your smile
[Chorus]
Honey, you're my lucky day
Baby, you're my lucky day
Well I lost all the other bets I made
Honey, you're my lucky day

When I see strong hearts give way
To the burdens of ... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | My Lucky Day |
[Verse 1]
Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely
I think of you and I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
Now the cards I've drawn's a rough hand, darling
I straighten the back and I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
Come on!
[Chorus]
I'm working on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so fa... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Working On a Dream |
[Verse 1]
There's a wonderful world where all you desire
And everything you've longed for is at your fingertips
Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips
Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you
And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air
At the end of each working day she's waiting there
[Chorus 1]
I'm... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Queen Of The Supermarket |
[Verse 1]
There's a pillar in the temple
Where I carved your name
There's a soul sitting sad and blue
Now the remedies you've taken
Are all in vain
[Chorus 1]
Let me show you what love can do
Let me show you what love can do
[Chorus 2]
Darling I can't stop the rain
Or turn your black sky blue
Well let me show you wha... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | What Love Can Do |
[Verse 1]
A bang then stardust in your eyes
A billion years for just this night
In a way it will be alright
A blackness then the light of a million stars
As you slip into in my car
The evening sky strikes sparks
[Chorus 1]
This life, this life and then the next
With you I have been blessed
What more can you expect

I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs
I was standing by the river
Where the cold black water runs
I had my good eye to the dark
And my blind eye to the sun
I had all of the riches
I had each and every one
I had all of the riches
I had each and every one
I had my good eye to the dark
And m... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Good Eye |

Where the cold wind blows
Tomorrow never knows
Where your sweet smile goes
Tomorrow never knows
You and me we've been standing here, my dear
Waiting for that time to come
Where the green grass grows
Tomorrow never knows
In the field your long hair flows
Down by the tail end of the tracks
Beneath the water tow... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Tomorrow Never Knows |
[Verse 1]
We met down in the valley, where the wine of love and destruction flows
There in that curve of darkness where the flowers of temptation grow
I left the rest for the others it was you and nothing else
You felt so good to me, baby, as good as life itself
[Chorus]
You were life itself, rushing over me
Life itse... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Life Itself |
[Verse 1]
With you I don't hear the minutes ticking by
I don't feel the hours as they fly
I don't see the summer as it wanes
Just a subtle change of light upon your face
[Chorus]
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away
This is our kingdom of days
[Verse 2]
I watched the sun as it rises and sets
I watched the moon ... | Working On A Dream | 2009 | Kingdom Of Days |

And let your love shine down

Well surprise, surprise, come on open your eyes
And let your love shine down

Sundown, sundown
They're taking all the tents down
Where have you gone my handsome Billy?
[Bridge]
Sundown, sundown
The carnival train's leaving town
Where are you now my darling Billy?

We won't be dancing together on the high wire
Facing the lions with you at my side anymore

Have you ever seen a one-trick pony in the field, so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one-trick pony, then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street?

Then you've seen me

I was trying to find my way home
But all I heard was a drone
Bouncing off a satellite
Crushing the last lone American night

This is radio nowhere
Is there anybody alive out there?

Is there anybody alive out there?
