My Time Will Come
03:58
|
|||
One two three four
Lookie here
I’ve been inside of a jail
I’ve been inside of church
I sold everything
From mention to merch
I can't’ recall
All I the people I’ve known
I’ve been all over Europe
From Paris to Rome
I can’t remember
All the colors I’ve worn
There’s been some times I regret I was born
But my time will come
I hope my time will come
I believe my time will come
I surely believe my time will come
Lookie here
My schooling's been short
But my learning’s been long
Thank God I learned the difference between right and wrong
Dreams only come true to a precious few
Deserving gifts that wrong hard, working hard can give
My time will come
I believe my time will come
I truly believe my time will come x4

You ain’t the only one who likes America
I like America just like you
Just because I sing and dance after midnight
Just because I take a drink or two
That don’t mean I don’t like America
I like America just like you
Just because you don’t see me on Sunday
Sitting down on the front row pew
That don’t mean I don’t like America
I like America too
Just like you
Just like you
You ain’t the only one who likes America
I like America too
You ain’t the only one who likes America
I like America too
Come on
I like America too
You ain’t the only one who likes America
I like America too
Just like you
Just like you
Just like you
I like America too
Just like you
I like America too
Just like you
Just like you
I like America too
Just like you
Just like you

That's All I Need
03:20
|

A banana-colored woman
An orange cadillac
And a pea green suit
And a pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Well maybe you can lend me a good woman
I’ll pay you back when my ship comes in
Any pain to get my out of the ghetto
If you’re really a true friend
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
Just one step above the ghetto
Just enough to get by
I’ll pay you back by and by
I don’t need much
That’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need
And you know what
If you get my mother out of the projects
And get my dad out of the steel mill
That would really make me happy
And you don’t know how good that’ll make me feel
That’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need
That’s all I need
Good buddy, that’s all I need
I don’t need much
Just enough to get by
Just one step above poverty
Just enough to survive
That’s all I need
That’s all I need
I don’t need much
That’s all I need

one, two, three, four!
The holy pokings in your hand??
and you think you got it made
you're getting kind of cocky
before your final hand is played
she's sitting back with four queens and a joker
she warned you not to play her cheap
you got the bread
but she got the meat
that's the way it goes (x3)
when love shoots you in the foot (x2)
that's the way it goes
when love shoots you in the foot
she's sitting back with four queens and a joker
she warned you not to play her cheap
you got the bread
but she got the meat
that's the way it goes (x2)
when love when love plays you cheap
she warned you not to play her cheap
she warned you not to play her cheap
you got the bread
but she got the meat
but that's the way it goes love
when love shoots you in the foot
lookie here!

a cigarette and my old lady
it's gonna drive me to my drive
you know why?
a cigarette makes me choke
my old lady keeps me broke
cigs make me lazy
my old lady drives me crazy
cigarettes runnin me out of site
my old lady makes me wanna fight
cigarettes and my old lady
is making my future kinda shady
with both of them there just ain't no hope
I might as well write out my will and pick up a rope
now a drink or two'll get me by
but a cigarette and my old lady keep me dry
I don't know which one of them is wrong or right
I just don't know if they make me wanna fight
I can't put the blame on either one
but before they came along life was fun
now me and my woman's got me feeling sad
and them damn cigarettes got me feeling bad
Cigarettes and My Old Lady (x7)

Too Light to Fight
02:36
|

Look Here
I'm too light to fight
and I'm too thin to win
but my finger ain't to weak to bend
that's why you don't want no part of me
and I don't want no part of you
if we get that understanding
we can make it through
my mama taught me how to cook
my daddy taught me how to shoot
I didn't wear no shoes
just alligator boots
My mama made me stay in school
so I wouldn't be no fool
that's why I'm too light to fight
and I'm too thin to win
so if you stay away from me
and I'll stay away from you
we do it like that brother
we both can make it through
Cause I'm too light to fight
and I'm too thin to win
I'm too light to fight
and I'm too thin to win (3)

Darlin'
now that you're walkin out the door
there's not much more that I can say
but I realize now
what I'm gonna miss
and it's not gonna be a very happy day
it's not gonna be a very happy day from now on
and now I realize how much you meant to me
and all the happiness ????
and now I realize that I wasn't the one who was running this ship
no not me alone
and now that I look back
and see all the things that we've done together
I know it'll never be again
so I'm gonna keep begging until you close the door
hoping that we can make amends
I see nothing but darkness in front of me
nothing but darkness do I see
I don't think I'm gonna find someone as true as you
and I don't think there could ever be
a love like ours
no no no no no
if anything I can do to make amends
to start all over I'll gladly do
and anything I can say that'll make you change your mind
let me start right now
I know I don't deserve your love anymore
after all the things I put you through
and I know that leaving me could be the best thing for you
so I wish you happiness in your new life
cause baby you deserve it after all I put you through
