COLOR HIM FATHER


There's a man at my house he's so big and strong
He goes to work each day, stays all day long
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
Never a frown always a smile
When he says to me how's my child
I've been studying hard all day in school
Tryin' to understand the golden rule

Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father
I think I'll color the man love, yes I will

He says education is the thing if you wanna compete
Because without it son, life ain't very sweet
I love this man I don't know why
Except I'll need his strength till the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little
sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn't been for him she wouldn't have found
her way
My real old man he got killed in the war
And she knows she and seven kids couldn't of got very
far
She said she thought that she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin

Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father

COME BE WITH ME


Baby this life can break your heart
Everyone hurts to some degree
So while this world is falling apart
Why dont you come be with me?

Dont you know that life can be so cold
When you're without the one you need
How much longer do I have to go?
Waiting for you, come be with me

CHORUS
Love can be so simple when you let it flow
Keep it in your head, feel it in your heart
Send it through your soul

Look up at the stars burning bright
Listen to the wind whisper sweet
Heaven and earth know the moment is right
Why dont you come be with me?

CHORUS

Look up at the starts burning bright
Listen to the wind whisper sweet
Heaven and earth know the moment is right
Why dont you come be with me?

Heaven and earth know the moment is right
Why dont you come be with me?

COME ON BACK


It's about that time
Baby please don't go
I'd really wish you'd stay
Cause I really love you so
And who is this man
That makes you feel
So much better
Than I make you feel
But if you ever return to me
And the love you find turns out not to be
Don't explain, girl just let it go
There will be no I told you so
Just come on back
I'll be right here
Just come on back
I"ll dry your tears
Baby just come on back
I'll be right there, come on back
I'll dry your tears
And I'm not gonna find me a new love
Or make a brand new start
I just might die young
With a broken heart
Cause if you ever return to me
And the love you find turns out not to be
Don't explain, girl just let it go
I don't really want to know
All I want you to do is, just come on back
I'll be right here
Just come on back, I"ll dry your tears
Baby just come on back, i'll be right here

CRAPPED OUT AGAIN


Flat broke and busted, it just don?t seem fair
The Man in Heaven, don't hear my prayer
And these dice are loaded, and I still can?t win
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

Maybe tomorrow, I'll see the light
And I'll know the difference, tween wrong and right
My ship is out there, but it can't come in
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

refrain

And now I'm hangin on tight, to the end of my rope
Somebody call me a preacher, yeah, let's call the Pope
Just the flip of a coin, the turn of a card
I'll be back up on top, damn, I'll be livin? large

instrumental break blues harp 4 bars
My ship is out there, but it can?t come in
Flat broke and busted, all crapped out, crapped out again

DANGEROUS MOOD


Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I done called up the bossman
Told him where to go
And just what to do

Call me crazy
But i did what I had to do
You can call me stupid
I just did what I had to do
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you
I parked the car down the street
And I unplugged the phone
So it would look just like
Ain't nobody home
I put a rose on your pillow
Where you lay your pretty head
I'm gonna rub your tired shoulders
Bring your dinner to your bed

Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you

I'm gonna light a candle
Put the champagne on ice
And if one ain't enough
Well we'll just have to do it twice
I done made myself a will
And I've called my next of kin
'Cause I'm gonna love you over
And over and over
Again and again

Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you

Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I just this one last paycheck baby
And I'm gonna spend every dime on you

DON'T SAY NO


Standin'on the corner of my life, you are
Always lookin' out but never goin' far
Sittin on the sideline for another day
Nuthin like the present, so come out and play

Jumpin skippin twistin liftin
Happy in the world that you are livin
I can make it, we can shake it
Just let go and don't say no
Sing it, swing it, love it, fling it
Round and round we go is what I'm sayin
I believe that we can have it all,
Just don't say no (don't say no)
Don't say no (don't say no)

Go ahead and spread your wings, you'll love the flight
Love and understanding is a lovely sight
Walkin down the road of life, you're on your way
Whether you are right or wrong, no one can say

Float above the clouds
Sing your thoughts a-loud
You'll hear the way to laugh and grow
Leave your doubts behind
Strength is what you'll find
And love will never let you go
Don't say no (Don't say no)
Don't say no (Don't say no)

DON'T YOU KNOW


I don't have your number
I don't know your name
Don't have your picture
In a golden frame
Ohh but when I see you
My heart goes wild
Feels like christmas morning
To a little child
Don't you know
That I've been watching you
Don't you know
That I've been longing for the chance
Can't you tell that i've been hoping too
Be loving you, and only you
Don't you know
Don't you know
I am only human
Just flesh and bones
And I got a feelin'
That I've never known
Ohh it feels like thunder
Not a cloud in sight
It feels like sunshine
In the middle of the night
Well don't you know
I've been watching you
Don't you know, I've been longing for the chance
Can't you tell, I've been hoping too
Be loving you, and only you
Don't you know
Well maybe someday
We will see
Don't you know
That I've been watching you
Don't you know
I've been longing for the chance
Can't you tell
I've been hoping too
Be loving you and only you
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know

EVERY MORNING


Every mornin', every evenin', every day I, I think of you
The way you love me, through and through
When I'm with you, it feels like heaven
You're an angel, holdin' me
Your sweet, sweet lovin', it sets me free
And in my wildest, imagination,
I could never, imagine you
Lovin' me as much as, as I do love you
And it may be winter, it may be fall
I might have plenty, or nothin' at all
But baby I'll be there, whenever you call, ever you call
'Cause every mornin', and every evenin', every day I, I
think of you
The way you love me, through and through
The way you love me, through and through

EVERYTHING I NEED


Aint got no money
Nowhere to sleep
No friends no family
No bread no meat, no bread no meat
No friends no family
No bread, no bread no meat
Aint got no reason
Aint got no rhyme
Aint gettin' no younger
And I'm runnin' outta time
Runnin' outta time
Aint gettin' no younger
And I'm runnin' out of time
But I'm still climbing up the mountain side
Don't count me out
As long as I've got my heart and soul
I got everything
I got everything I need
Everything I need
Aint got no picture
Aint got no wall
Aint got nobody to hear me when I call
Hear me when I call
Aint got nobody to hear me when I call
But I'm still climbing up the mountain side
Don't count me out
As long as I got my heart and soul
I got everything
I got everything I need
Everything I need
Aint got no window
Aint got no door
But I can feel sun shinin' where it's never shined before
Never shined before
Feel sun shinin' where it's never shined before
But I'm still climbing up the mountain side
Cant count me out
As long as I got my heart and soul
I got everything
I got everything I need
Everything I need
Aint got no pictures
Aint got no walls
Aint got nobody gonna hear me when I call
No, no no
