- A Little Story
There was this big Guy
And He had a great idea.
He built Himself a world
And He put people on it.
- Almost Got Hit by a Truck
I was walking across the bridge
Going to my friend's house
When I was crossing the road
A truck almost ran me down
Ran me down ran me down oh oh
Oh I'm so sad
And I know you'll be glad when I find my way
- An Idiot's End
I don't have to say a thing
She knows exactly what I want
But anytime I feel like this
What we have goes out for lunch
She looks at me like a gun cocked
And I'm afraid to turn my back
For fear of being loved
- Brainwash
Me and a friend went out one night
Walkin' in the street
We talked of God and the end of the world
I stuck my head in a fire hydrant
The night was cool. It was around the time that the bad ladies come out
While river rats broke windows and performed un-natural acts
We walked halfway across the town and sang in an amphitheater
- Chord Organ Blues
Everything's big in Texas
You know it is
I think I might have made a big mistake o o o
Chord organ blues
Chord organ blues
Singing those chord organ blues
Wherever I go it's a wild wind
Maybe someday it'll blow me back home again
- Country Song
Well, it's been a long time since I've had a drink of alcohol
Since the babies grieved and grandma lost a leg
There ain't no sense in draggin' the lake anymore
There are bats in the belfry and there's liquor at the store
Oh I've had a look or two at her figure at times
That girl in her tight wearin' bra drivin' me out of my mind
And there ain't no sense in rememberin' nothin' for score
- Desperate Man Blues
There ain't no colors in the sky
Anymore
And I don't feel much like singing
Can't see what for
And there ain't no comfort in this life
Anymore
All that I can see that's ahead of me seems like
- Etiquette
Alright, ready
Let me do an adversive(?) entrance
Let's start again
What
Let's start again, cause you talked
[Verse 1]
Never noticed her
- Foolin'
C Cm F Fm G Gm C (lick: c-b-a-a-b-c-c-b-a-b)
I see no reason why
Only that I guess that I
Don’t really know what I’m doing
A letter that never arrived
Only that I could survive
That I might see whatever is going on
- Foxy Girl
She's so precious
She's so luscious
Put your head in a whirl
Spinning 'round the world
She's the kind of girl
You've seen a thousand times before
And how often that you hoped
- Haunt

1 Those you love how they haunt
Everyone’s in love
A familiar face to comfort you
- History Of Our Love
She was apart from me
I found another girl for awhile
It didn't work out
I was just a loser
Poor loser
Love - It let me down
Like a nightmare
- I Had a Dream
I had a dream about you
You were the queen of quite a few
And I was there, but you didn't care
I didn't matter somehow.
- Impossible Love
You hurt me so bad
You were the best friend I ever had
Now I'm crawling in my shoes
Trying to get back to you
Impossible love,
I just can't get to you
Impossible love,
- It's Impossible
It's impossible
Can't make my mind up
You're impossible
You can't make your mind up
It's impossible
But I wish it were so
Ho hoho ho hohoho
- Joy Without Pleasure
When I was a little kid
And all the people, they looked big
I never exactly understood
How to tell the tree from the wood
Joy without pleasure
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
Joy without pleasure
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
- Life In Vain
Don't want to be free of hope
And I'm at the end of my rope
It's so tough just to be alive
When I feel like the living dead
I'm giving it up so plain
I'm living my life in vain
And where am I going to?
I got to really try
- loner
I wish I could be as happy as you
I wish I could have as much fun as you do
I wish I could be your friend
but I-I-I'm afraid.
I wish I had my own way
but I rarely do
but I wish I had my way with you
- love is weird
It seems love ain't the way that it outta be
It tends to depend too much on anatomy
But I suppose that's all well and fine
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
But love's like pride don't seem to last long
It ain't something that you can take home
But you forget everything when you're smack dab in it
- Man Obsessed
C
He's a man obsessed
F G (third fret)
He couldn't be a lover
C
So now he's a pest
F G
He played the game
- My Life Is Starting Over
My Life is starting over again, over again
my friends say I’m back again
My life is starting over again
Over again
My fame is spreading across the land
Now I got me a band
Got my a band
- My Life Is Starting Over Again
my life is starting over again
over again my friends
say I'm back again
my life is starting over again
- Peek a Boo
When I'm down, really down,
Nothin' matters. Nothin' does.
I close my eyes, go to sleep.
But I can't sleep. I can't sleep.
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself.
Junior High I lost my mind.
- She Called Pest Control
She called pest control
And when she was sprayed
She never was bothered again
She wore western-style boots
Foreshadowing things to come
I said I'm an artist in search of a medium
She said I know
And I said well I gotta go
- Silly love
I've come this far and I now I can make it
I've got a broken heart and you can't break a broken heart
I come knocking at your door
You don't love me anymore
But I just can't give up
'Cause I don't know what to do about it
You must be wrong if you think you don't love me
- Some Things Last A Long Time
your picture
is still
on my wall
on my wall
the colors are bright
bright as ever
the red is strong
the blue is true
- Speeding Motorcycle
Speeding motorcycle
wont you change me
in a world of funny changes
speeding motorcycle
wont you change me
speeding motorcycle
of my heart
- Story Of An Artist
Listen up and I'll tell a story
About an artist growing old
Some would try for fame and glory
Others aren't so bold
Everyone, and friends and family
Saying, "Hey! Get a job!"
"Why do you only do that only?
- The Story of an Artist
listen up and i'll tell a story
about an artist growing old
some would try for fame and glory
others aren't so bold
everyone in friends and family
sayin "hey get a job
why do you only do that only
- The Sun Shines Down On Me
I’m getting closer to the fact
I’ve turned my on silly dreams
And I’m walking down that lonely road
And my heavy load I didn’t bother to bring it
And the sun shines down on me
I fell like I deserve it
And the sun shines down
- True Love Will Find You In The End
True love will find you in the end
You'll find out just who was your friend
Don't be sad, I know you will,
But dont give up until
True love will find you in the end
This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you
'Cause true love is searching too
- Urge
Get attached to a rolling stone
And yr libel to get crushed.
Yr better off to sit at home
And watch the toilet flush.
I like to sit and look at her.
I like to do that so much.
To stand and act mysterious
- Walking the Cow
Tried to remember, but my feelings can't know for sure
Try to reach out, but it's gone...
But the stars in your eyes...
I'm walkin' the cow...
I really don't know how I came here...
I really don't know why I'm stayin' here...
Oh oh oh, I'm walkin' the cow...
- Whiz Kid
there is an orphan
wandering main streets
running from faces
he never sees
running from figures
he can't make out
fueled on fear and
drowned by doubt
- Wicked World
we have seen so many times before
we see no need to turn back now
we're the world, the wicked world
marching to hell
we know what we're doing
we're marching to hell
- Wishing You Well
You said you'd be at a certain place
I waited there 'til the end of time
Wishing you well as I spend time in hell
You said you'd make sure I was all right
But you jumped on a plane and left me in flight
Seeing you off
Almost knowing you'd return
- Without love
Love
You'll hate it if you have none
And your mommy and your daddy didn't give you some
And you're always on the run without love
Love
You'll regret it if you forgot
And you'll be all tied up in knots
- You Put My Love out the Door
You put my love out the door
put my love out the door
I rode out to your house
and brought you a valentine
and what did you do
put my love out the door
put my love out the door
