Two Sides To Every Lie

Two Sides To Every Lie
There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides
What I did was wrong I don’t deny
But what you’re telling your friends is a barefaced lie
They don’t know what you did to me
Putting me down and being nasty as can be
There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides
There’s two sides to every game
Why don’t we both just sleep on it
Before we find someone to blame
You messed with my mind and my good name too
Running me down, what are you trying to do?
Honesty's a crime, it don't pay
But I gotta tell you what you did was not ok
There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides
There’s two wrongs in every war
I've got my line
And baby you've got yours
I don’t know why you would go
And put me down this way
Here lies a double crosser
I’ll write that on your grave
I counted on you like you counted on me
Now we’re sitting here lonely and sad as can be
Lies keeps growing, too big to believe
Don’t sit in judgement, let your heart lead
There’s two sides to every lie
You shave a little from the middle
That’s where the truth resides

Steady As The Rain

Steady As The Rain
You’ll find another
You’ll find another’s friend
You’ll roam the foreign capitals
Sleep late, and remember when
You gave your love so freely
And listened carefully
To some fool pour his heart out
That ‘some fool' was me
I’m steady as the rain
Constant as the sea
The sea that took my darling
Far away from me
It was wrong
As right as wrong could be
But darling I discovered
Our life, wasn’t meant for me
I stayed inside this circle
Which soon became a wall
I’ll take a life uncertain
Than have no life at all
I’m steady as the rain
Constant as the sea
The sea that took my darling
Far away from me
This is hard
Can’t you see
Love and loss
You and me
I’m steady as the rain…

Devil's On His Way

Devil’s On His Way
The devil’s on his way
He’s just a speck on the horizon
He’s getting bigger every day
He says “You didn’t even try, son”
And now you have to pay
The devil’s on his way
You might try to hide
Or maybe get a gun
Ain’t nothing you can say
He’s got you on the run
He knows every time you lied
He’s seen everything you done
The devil’s on his way...
Your life’s going down the drain
Your world is on fire
I tried to set you straight
But I was preaching to the choir
There’s no one left to blame
He’s gonna be the driver
The devil’s on his way
He’s just a speck on the horizon
He’s getting bigger every day
He says “You didn’t even try, son”
Ain’t nothing you can say
The devil’s on his way
The devil’s on his way
The devil’s on his way
The devil’s on his way
The devil’s on his way

Ex-Husband
Ex-husband ex-husband
Don’t darken my door
My woman don’t love you
Don’t love you no more
Ex-husband ex-husband
Please leave us alone
I’m afraid that your presence
Will break up our home
Cat’s in the cradle
The baby’s asleep
Clock on the mantle
Our secrets to keep
Ex-husband ex-husband
Your time’s come and gone
Life’s pages are turning
You better move on
Ex-husband ex-husband
Please go away
My woman don’t love you
In the cold light of day
Cat’s in the cradle
The baby’s asleep
Clock on the mantle
Our secrets to keep
Ex-husband ex-husband
Please stay away
My woman don’t love you
In the cold light of day
My woman don’t love you
In the cold light of day

I Never Loved (‘Til That Night)
Lost in the moonlight
Felled by your touch
Just like a movie
I love you so much
I’ve had promises broken
Plans come undone
Now that I’ve found you
My life’s begun
I never loved ‘til that night
I guess the stars were shining right
The words are unspoken
But the feeling is right
This is a song
I’ve been waiting to sing
The love that I feel
It’s a beautiful thing
I never loved ‘til that night
I guess the stars were shining right
Now we keep ourselves open
As we turn out the light
And I will never never let
Never let you down
If you want I will be around
If there’s anything you want
If there’s anything at all
I’ll be there for you
I never loved ‘til that night
I guess the stars were shining right
Now we keep ourselves open
As we turn out the light
Yeah the words are unspoken
But the feeling is right.

Just Another Guy
You’re going out on a limb
By seeing him
He’s just another guy
He’s just another guy
I’m the one who can love you
And give you what you need
He’s just another guy
He’s just another guy
We used to be so complete
Nothing could come between us
Now you’ve gone and changed everything
I’m not gonna give you up
Without a fight
You’re worth more than anything to me
You crave attention
And danger too
He’s just another guy
He’s just another guy
I will leave a light on
For when you come home late
He’s just another guy
He’s just another guy
We used to be so complete
Nothing could come between us
Now you’ve gone and changed everything
I’m not gonna give you up
Without a fight
You mean more than anything to me
Inst.
We used to be so complete
Nothing could come between us
Now you’ve gone and thrown it all away
I’m not going to let you go
Without a fight
You’re the whole world to me
He’s just another guy (3x)

Without Your Loving
There you go
You’re walking away
I’m trying to reach you
But you won’t say
What’s your problem
We’ve all got a past
Everybody hurts
Nothing lasts
I don’t want to live without your loving
I don’t want to live without your touch
The nights are lonely
And I’ve had enough
There you are
In your own little cage
You never thought
You’d end up this way
It’s not too late
To turn it around
‘Cause I’m still waiting
For some kinda sign
I don’t want to live without your loving
I don’t want to live without your touch
The nights are lonely
And I’ve had enough
I don’t want to live without your loving
I don’t want to live without your touch
The nights are lonely
And I’ve had enough
The nights are lonely
And I’ve had enough

Seen A Ghost
Working on a line on a Saturday night
Spent all my money but I feel alright
Big old moon shining over me
Kicking at the edge of reality
Caffeine days and bourbon nights
Road map faces in the dying light
Like a plate glass window it could give anytime
That’s the way that I’m feeling
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Working on a bottle and a backroom deal
Black dog snapping at my heels
Can’t outrun the setting sun
What I already did can’t be undone
Followed by the shadows I see on the wall
Somebody watching over us all
Call me crazy well that’s ok
It’s the way that I’m feeling
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
And I know the feeling
And I know the feeling
And I know the feeling
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost
Feeling like I seen a ghost

Cadillac Song
I bought myself a Cadillac
Nineteen sixty five
It was the kind of car I always wanted
But I never had the nerve to drive
I’m burning down a two lane road
There ain’t no police car near
I never felt so alive
I only wish that you were here
Everything is going to be alright
Everything will work out fine
Come on out with me tonight
Come on out with me tonight and ride
I’ve got the radio turned up loud
I’m cranking out the songs
I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
And Help Me Rhonda all night long
Wolfman Jack and Murray the K
Keep me company
I never want this ride to end
I know how lonely lonely can be
chorus
I’m a fool for your love
Don’t you know the joker laughs at me?
And all I really know
Is just how sweet your love can be
Come on out with me tonight and ride
Inst.
The lights down in the city
Look so far away
Somewhere there you’re waiting
Maybe you are waiting for me
Everything is going to be alright
Everything will work out fine
Come on out with me tonight
Come on out with me tonight
Come on out with me tonight and ride

It’s Just A Dance
It’s just a dance this thing we do
We spin around we make our moves
It’s give and take it’s win and lose
Sometimes we fall
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me weak you make me strong
You make me feel like I belong
You make me feel
Hold me
Come on and hold me
Hold me
I want to live I want to grow
I want to let my feelings show
I want to spend my life with you
There so much I want to do
Too many songs I haven’t sung
Too many riddles left undone
Like the waves upon the shore
I know there’s so much more
Hold me
Come on and hold me
Hold me
Inst.
Sometimes I feel an angel has given me wings
Sometimes the night makes me think about too many things.
Breakdown over 1st verse
Hold me (It’s just a dance)
Hold me (We make our moves)
Hold me (Sometimes we fall)
Hold me
Come on and hold me
Hold me

Will The Circle Be Unbroken
I was standing by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky
I said to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go
chorus
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave
chorus
I went back home, the home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone
chorus
We sang songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones that mother Maybelle taught us
Hear the angels sing along
chorus
