Soul Run
03:28
|

Once lived my life on the prairies Not by choice
He told me we gonna get married Ha!
I was high, I was low Left behind kitchen doors
Got a woman feeling bagged and weary Cooking that crab meat, drinking Labatts Blue in a trailer full up of black
Flies on the window, feels like that Time to change my running
I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never
He said “Baby you’re a cold one” But I had to leave that town Take it to the road hun
Soul run, soul run
I make a mess every place I go Why should here be different
I’m so fly, I got soul, get in so much trouble
Got a bunch of brothers fighting over me One on my bracelet, one on my mind
Both getting anxious, alright, alright
I got my kicks and I said goodbye to both
Time to change my running
I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never
I’m on the road, on the road again I could never look back, never
He said “Baby you’re a cold one”
But I was having too much fun to care Take it to the road hun
Soul run, soul run
Said I’m leaving now, I’m leaving now I’m leaving you i’m leaving
Put my bags inside your jeep
I stole your keys and now I’m speeding

Two Steps
03:46
|
|||
Quit calling on the telephone
I done told you that I'm not at home
A girl just needs to be alone
Don't need no man to walk to me home
See I tell you its the way to be
And I'm living life carefree
Don’t need no sir to hold me down
So keep concentrating on your frown
And I tell you straight
I ain't looking so go on your way
I’ve got plans and they don't include you
Said it’s true I've heard it all before
So take two steps backwards
See I found a man who's nice and sweet
When I come home there's food to eat
He treats me like royalty
Knows the meaning of loyalty
See I've been there done that before
And I know you're looking to score
But I've got a man who's good to me
I ain’t got time to say please
And I'll telling you straight baby
I ain't looking so go on your way
I’ve got plans and they don't include you
Said it’s true I've heard it all before
So take two steps backwards
Straight honey
I ain't looking so go on your way
I’ve got plans and they don't include you
All before
Two steps backwards
Yeah it’s true
I’ve got plans and they don't include you I've heard it all before
So please take two steps backwards Yeah it’s true
I’ve got plans and they don't include you no I've heard it all before
So please take two steps backwards

Sweet Memories
03:46
|
|||
Hey darling
Something’s been bugging me lately See I been calling
Not sure if you hear me
See I’ve been down here for two days thinking Whatever happened to us?
I’m steady drinking to those
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Well hello doctor
I just want you to fix me See all these tinctures
No they ain’t doing a damn thing
No matter what I try to do to change it It ain’t working
Can’t get my fever to break ‘Cause I’m in love with this sweet
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
I don’t understand
Have done something wrong
Just pick up that phone baby
And give me a call
Oh but I see you when I close my eyes
I just want you in my bed at night
Well honey bee
You’re the sweet in my coffee
I’m up tossing and turning
Without my baby to hold me
And even if I found another lover boy
I don’t want him
Not in a million years
Because I’m still in love with my sweet
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone
Sweet memories are gone

More Than a Man
03:34
|
|||
I never knew what it meant to be all alone
Until your punk ass left me standing here in the cold What have I done to you?
Could it be that I left you bruised Please understand that ain’t my fault
But you just don't know when to fuck off and
I need more than a man
More than a man
You just ain’t part of the plan
I never knew that my heart could let me feel this way And I’m confused as to who should take most the blame Was it something I said?
Like when I screamed the wrong name in bed Please understand that ain’t my fault
But when you do me, you lose me And I drift off baby
I need more than a man More than a man
You just ain’t part of the plan
Baby, maybe we just weren't meant to be Or maybe you were sent to me
For a purpose not known yet to you and I
Baby, could we have maybe worked it out
Tell me ain’t that what love’s all about
Guess we’ll never know cause we refused to try
I need more than a man
More than a man
You just ain’t part of the plan
I need more than a man
More than a man
You just ain’t part of the plan
I need more than a man
More than a man
You just ain’t part of the plan

Money
02:53
|
|||
Money, money, money
Money all the time
Money eat the cake and
Money drink the wine
Money, money, money
Money for my thrills
Our names on the lease together
My name in your will
Oh I’m gonna be just fine
Money, money, money
Gets me in the mood
Money in my jeans and
Stuffed all in my shoes
Money, money, money
Money everywhere
Money up in my sleeves and
Stuffed in my brassiere
Dollars and cents and all of my friends
You know life’s simple pleasures
Wont pay my rent
I want to get over, I want money
You don’t got enough and that wont do “
Because I love the feel of
C-notes in my hand, I want
Money, money, money
Money for my thrills
Our names on the reservation
Your name on the bill
I only want to get your money
Honey won't you pay my bills
I know that you can feel my loving
But I’ve got to get my thrills
Money can’t buy happiness
But it can buy nice things
The Balenciagas, the Ferragamos
I shop my pain away
They say money can’t buy happiness
But it can buy champagne
Take my pain away on a rainy day
I said what’s my favourite thing?
I’m talking about money
I can’t live without money
I got to get that money
You better give me that money
Money, money, money
Money for my thrills
Our names on the lease together
My name in your will
I only want to get your money
Honey won't you pay my bills
You know that you can feel my loving
But I’ve got to get my thrills

Love Fool
03:17
|
|||
You might think by now my heart would be hardened After all that dull my edge should be sharpened
It’s so dull without you baby
Can I show ya, let me show ya
Now do you remember them things I told ya Because I can’t forget the way that I’d hold you
Baby, you got that true contact, if you walk back baby
Baby no matter what I do
There ain’t no getting over you
Don’t know why I’m in love with you
Maybe I’m just a love fool
Could it be you fell and bumped your head child You get drunk one night, turn right, not left how?
Could you lose your foot and find her bed now
Boy tell me, can you tell me?
Cuz I’m sinking beneath this wave Can’t stop only you can save me Please jump back in boy and take me Oh, I’m shaking
This is crazy
Baby no matter what I do
There ain’t no getting over you
Don’t know why I’m in love with you
Maybe I’m just a love fool
When you left you hurt me and my heart it worried
If love doesn’t hurry, I can’t wait, can’t take this slow
Don’t you know by now boy, if you say stay
I won’t go, you say yes, won’t say no
Just let me know
Can you feel my boy cause I’m reaching out I just need your touch right now
And so much more yeah
Love fool, love fool, silly little love fool
Love fool, love fool, silly little love fool
Love fool, love fool, silly little love fool
Love fool, love fool, silly little love fool
Baby no matter what I do
There ain’t no getting over you
Don’t know why I’m in love with you
Maybe I’m just a love fool

Heavy
03:28
|
|||
So you saying you’re loving me
For the thousandth time
Oh, you’re loving me
And then it hit me
That baby, I just can't do this everyday
Cause your love is so heavy
And your world are all my shoulders can take
Cause your love is so heavy
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
Maybe it’s me
But baby ain’t that what you love
Cause you say it and you say it, till I’m crazy You say it and you say it again, until I go
Your love keeps pulling me down, we’ve got to figure it out
Your love keeps pulling me down, we’ve got to find a way out
Love is so heavy
Said your world are all my shoulders can take
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
Make-up smeared, lines are blurred
If this ain’t love, can’t find the words
Can’t find myself, cant find my heart
Can’t save me, baby can’t call for help
I ain’t got nothing for you
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
And it pulls, and it pulls and it pulls me down
Your love keeps pulling me down

Endless Chain
03:49
|
|||
In my time I’ve been prone to emotion
Tears in my eyes I’ve cried rivers and oceans
You say one word, love is like an explosion
See all of me, go everywhere
If some day finds us not together, whatever
Just pull on my chain I’ll come get ya, where ever If ever at all should get too dark
Don’t you ever give up I’ll be there for ya
If ever at all should get too dark
It’s a fire not a flame girl
This love is like a diamond on an endless chain alright
You won’t find this everyday girl
My love is like a diamond on an endless chain
Now we were two but wouldn't you know that Two started becoming one
Young and scared I tried to run But oh how I felt that tug
He pulled me back into his arms from halfway across the world
He said diamond your my star and you’ll always be my girl
If some day finds us not together, whatever
Just pull on my chain I’ll come get ya, where ever If ever at all should get too dark
Don’t you ever give up I’ll be there for ya
If ever at all should get too dark
Shine, shine, shine
It’s a fire not a flame girl
This love is like a diamond on an endless chain alright
You won’t find this everyday girl
My love is like a diamond on an endless chain
It’s a fire not a flame girl
This love is like a diamond on an endless chain alright
You won’t find this everyday girl
My love is like a diamond on an endless chain

Waiting
03:28
|
|||
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
’Til the morning sun don’t rise
And a lie decides it should be true
Yes I’ll wait for you
’Til every ocean runs dry
And the Devil decides he won’t deceive you
I’ll have you know
You ain’t irreplaceable
Glitter and gold comes and goes
What we’ve got is worth a lot
Yes I feel it in my heart
I will wait for you
’Til the clouds fall from the sky
And it’s snowing in Hawaii in mid-June
I will wait for you
’Til the clocks run out of time When one and one don’t equal two
But you should know
If this ain’t reciprocal, baby
Then let me go so I can find
One of many waiting in line
Don’t play with my mind
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you

Darkness and the Dawn
04:02
|
|||
It’s always the darkest before the dawn baby
Though the sun might burn my eyes
It’s taking too long to recover baby
But right now, I’m doing fine
But rain came with this heartache baby
Take all I leave behind
Said I want you too know
I’m so far gone away
You can't reach me
Nothing can keep me
I won’t be back
I said I want you too know
I’ll make it all the way
I need you like the stars need darkness to shine bright
You had walking around in circles
Your shadow left me blind and crazy
I dug so deep inside of me
And you left me crying
But rain came with this heartache baby
Take all I leave behind
Said I want you too know
I’m so far gone away
You can't reach me
Nothing can keep me
I won’t be back
I said I want you too know
I’ll make it all the way
I need you like the stars need darkness to shine bright
Shine your light on me
Shine your light on me
