How Long Now

How long has it been now baby?
How long has it been now girl?
Since we saw eye to eye
Smiled through and through
Oh, can you tell me how long?
And I’ve been down in Louisiana
Spent time in old Tennessee
Seen a lot of pretty women, and nice ones too
But my mind keeps wandering back to you
Spend my nights drinking
Seems like the best thing to do
Sit back counting the bottles babe
And I wonder, are you just drinking too?
Too much time for thinking
And not enough to say
The rooster ain’t callen’
And the dogs are asleep
And the songbirds have all flown away
I wonder what kind of company you’re keeping
I hope he knows how to make you smile
I hope he looks you in the eye
And tells you true
Then again I hope he falls down and dies
I must be god damn lonely
To be thinking about you again
Nearly drove me crazy, up and down the wall
But I can’t remember how you did
So how long has it been now baby?
How long has it been now girl?
Since we saw eye to eye
Smiled through and through
Oh, can you tell me how long?

Going To The Garden

Going down to the garden
To get some peace of mind
Miles away from troubles today
Going to the garden if you don’t mind
And my old lady, my old baby’s
Calling me all the time
Wants me back, I ain’t going back
Going to the garden if you don’t mind
There’s old fruit trees, birds and bees
Grapes growing on the vine
Shaded paths and green, green grass
Don’t ya know I’m feeling fine
Quit your whining, quit your fussing
Quit staying out late at night
Sit up straight, clean your plate
I’m going to the garden if you don’t mind
Yes I’m going down to the garden
Gon’ get me some peace of mind
Miles away from troubles today
Going to the garden if you don’t mind

Don't You Call Me
02:16
|

Well don’t you call me on the phone
I’m gonna’ get drunk and I’m gonna stay home
It’s been a long week
I don’t feel much like talking
Ain’t all that tired or all the sore
My knees aren’t hurtin’ like they did before
(So please) can’t you please leave me be
Oh my, Oh my, won’t you please leave me be
Oh my, Oh my, I don’t want no company
Well, the job is fine, the work is good
I’m even get paid a little more than I should
Tryna’ save a little bit of money away
And it ain’t nothing all that bad
My Daddy still loves me and my momma ain’t dead
Please, please leave me be
I ain’t sad and I ain’t blue
Darlin’ don’t ya know I’d never lie to you
To tell you the truth I don’t feel much at all
So don’t you call me on that phone
I’m gonna’ get drunk, I’m gonna stay home
It’s been a long week and I don’t feel much like talking

I’ve got dues to pay, I’ve got debts, I’ve got bills to pay
Not a lot of time in the day, not enough to say I love you babe
And I’m worried as can be
Don’t know what you want from me
But I can’t give it you
Can’t get it from me
And I’m listenin’ for the whistle
I’m hoping to hear
And my troubles are all over and I can get away from here
Oh I’m worried as can be
Don’t know what you want from me
But I can’t give it to you
Can’t get it from me
And your so good and I know I ought to do ya better
But that look in your eyes is looking a lot like forever
And I’m worried as can be
Don’t know what you want from me
But i can’t give it to you
Can’t get it from me

My Lonely Heart Forgets
05:43
|
|||
And I’m drawn to you now like a moth to the flame
Dear, I left you for her without much to say
I saw you standin’ there, jet black hair
Your smile glowing bright
My heart strayed back to those warm summer nights
And I was so lonely when I fell in your lap
Dear you kissed my chest, slid your fingers down my back
And in the mist and moon, dancing too, the easy loving kind
Hand in hand by a river
I lost track of time
And my lonely heart forgets
Why didn’t it go right
Why didn’t it go right
And what I got left
Is regret
Now you’re over there and I’m over here
Quite confused just sippen’ on my beer
And then I met your eyes, loven’ eyes
Rolling around my head
When the lights came on
I found my shoes and left
But there’s no point in lying
No
use in forgettin’
The night so like this one
And I’m tryna find it’s ending
I saw her sittin’ there, golden hair, laughter in her eyes
So I held her and loved her till the sun lit up the sky
But my lonely heart forgets
Why didn’t it go right
Why didn’t it go right
And what I got left
Is regret

Blanket Of White
05:14
|

We live together, me and my lady
Pass the time in company
Watch the TV and smoke
Sometimes we go out to eat
I slang pizza, she makes cold calls
Get to eat and talk for free
Stay up late almost every night
Just can’t seem to sleep
And it’s snowing baby already
A pretty Blanket of white
So let’s beat back the lonesome
’Till we can get it right
I don’t really talk all that much
She never cleans at all
I’m always trippen’ over something
When I walk down the hall
3 AM in the kitchen
She’s sitting up on the counter
She holds her head on an angle
We’re laughing
Sometimes I go out and look for what’s missing
I haven’t found it yet
Come home in the evening
To her nice warm bed
And it’s snowing baby already
A pretty blanket of white
So let’s beat back the lonesome
‘Till we can get it right

Bottom Of My Wallet
04:15
|

Kept a picture of you
I didn’t mean to
But I still have it after all of this time
It’s in my pocket at the bottom of my wallet
Every day
You never left mind
Too long a time
And some days when I’m lonely
You still fill my heart
And I carried you around each and every town
I have wandered through
Since I left home
And maybe if we meet again baby
The stars will align
And you could be mine again
I ain’t that much of a man
Ain’t got no master plan
Oh I worry I may (wonder/wander) my whole life away
But maybe
If we meet again baby
The stars will align
And you could be mine again
I kept picture of you
I didn’t mean to
But I still have it after all of this time
It’s in my pocket at the bottom of my wallet
Everyday

Can't Let It Be
05:10
|
|||
Here we are again
It’s going wrong again
I getting restless
Why can’t we let it be
And I don’t know why
I make you cry
When I try to leave
You make me stay
Oh and why are we so afraid
Can’t be so afraid
That we can’t make a change
Can’t keep living this way
Waiting for an easy time
When I can hide this face of mine away
Oh but I can’t wait no more
Oh let me out
And drive away
You said you love me
I said I don’t love you
And nothing changed
Can’t laugh it off
Don’t take your shirt off
This love is cold
And it’s no funny at all
Waiting for an easy time
When I could hide this face of mine away
Oh but I can’t wait no more
Oh let me out
And drive away
Yea and this is farewell
I wish you happiness and health
I won’t forget the good times
The way you laugh and smile
And here I am again
It’s going wrong again
I’m getting restless
Why can’t we let it be
