I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead
I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead
I packed up my suitcase and headed on down the road
When I got there now people they had her laying on the cooling board
I packed up my suitcase and headed on down the road
When I got there now people they had her laying on the cooling board
I walked over to her Looked down in her face
This good woman lying here gonna see her at the judgement day
I walked over to her Looked down in her face
This good woman lying here gonna see her at the judgement day
Must have been ten thousand people by the burial mound
I didn’t know how much I loved her till they start to lay her down
Must have been ten thousand people by the burial mound
I didn’t know how much I loved her till they start to lay her down
I got a letter this morning, How ya reckon it read?
It said hurry hurry Tommy that girl that you love is dead

sitting in the driveway
It’s the calm before the storm and I dont want to open that door
It’s the calm before the storm and I dont want to open that door
When my baby sees me it’s gonna be a most uncivil war
I got a pink slip from my job and spent all day drinking in the bar
I got a pink slip from my job and spent all day drinking in the bar
Now I smell of weed and whiskey sitting in the driveway in my car
The promises that I made lay broken at my feet
The promises that I made lay broken at my feet
I tripped on that twelve step and now I’m tumbling back into the street

Hot Coffee and Pain

Hot Coffee this morning, Hot Coffee and pain.
After years of being together last night she walked away
When the sun cam up this morning, Nothing but clouds and rain
Hot Coffee & Pain
Our love was as bright as the noon day sun
More beautiful than all the starts rolled into one
But that star fell from the sky
I don’t even know why
All I wanna do All I wanna do is fall down and cry
Hot Coffee this morning, Hot Coffee and pain.
After years of being together last night she walked away
When the sun cam up this morning, Nothing but clouds and rain
Hot Coffee & Pain
I cant believe she left me after all this time
Can somebody tell me what was going through her mind
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
I only know that my love was true…
Somebody please tell me what I gonna do
Hot Coffee this morning, Hot Coffe and pain.
After years of being together last night she walked away
When the sun cam up this morning, Nothing but clouds and rain
Hot Coffee & Pain

Twist The Sky

twist the sky
If you keep your eye on the northern lights
You might miss the twinkle in your baby’s eyes
Don’t think I’ll tell you just who you are
Unhitch your wagon from someone else.s star
Run with the wind, try and twist the sky
Knowing in the end, it’s only you and I
Don’t fight it now, what is, is meant to be
All you got to do, is be you and I’ll be me
Out of focus, you’re life is surreal
You trade your fortune just to feel the way you used to feel
When time was endless and you were were young and free
It’s not too late now, just follow me
Words are spoken and you appear
You change direction to step around the gathering fear
But dont try to fake what everybody knows
You got all you need, now express your soul

Baby Where You Been?

Chorus
Baby baby where you been? Baby baby where you been?
What you're doing is a sin. Baby baby where you been?
Verse 1
Ya Come rolling in just before dawn.
I didn’t even know you were gone
Snuck out while I was sleeping
Running around this town a creeping
Now you ain't got nothing to say
You’ll probably sleep the day away
Baby baby where you been?
Chorus
Verse 2
You don’t even care for me
It’s all about you everyone can see
We haven’t spoken in years
You never even see my tears
Last night I needed some air
I left you a note right there
Baby baby where you been
Chorus (Duet)

angel of mercy (Jonny Lang)
Angel of mercy, you don’t need no golden wings
Angel of mercy, you don’t need no golden wings
Well, you came to my rescue, heaven must be watching over me
Shadows falling, day turns into night
I hear my angel calling me and I cant wait to see the light
Angel of mercy, you don’t need no golden wings
Well, you came to my rescue, heaven must be watching over me
Take a little powder, take a little salt
Load em in my shotgun and I go walkin out
Jubba jubba, wooly bully, Lookin high, lookin low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you, Mr Charlie told me so
I wont even take your like, even take a limb
Just unload my shotgun and take a little skin
Jubba jubba, wooly bully, Lookin high, lookin low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you, Mr Charlie told me so
Take a silver dollar, take a silver dime
Mix it all together in a alligator wine
I can hear the drums, voodoo all night long
Mr Charlie’s telling me I cant do nothing wrong
Jubba jubba, wooly bully, lookin high, lookin low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you, Mr Charlie told me so
Sometimes I feel like a fever coming over me
Just one touch from my angel’s hand puts me right back on my feet
Angel of mercy, you don’t need no golden wings
Well, you came to my rescue, heaven must be watching over me
Angel of mercy, Angel of mercy
Angel of mercy, you don’t need no golden wings
Well, you came to my rescue, heaven must be watching over me

the time it takes to live
I walk on air sometimes I drag my feet in the slow lane once again
Nice and easy, I take my time, watch the sunst with a friend
I can see the rat race from where I stand in the back behind the wall
Trying to keep the dirt from getting in my beer doesn’t matter after all
Time waits for no man
Wheel turns in the sky
Let us live while we can
You got to take the time it takes to live
On the morning when your trouble comes will you rise to meet the day
And still be humbled by the words of a child or are they in the way
Take a minute and count the cost, was it worth more than you paid
To build your house in a neighborhod you didn’t like anyway

Well it might be Superstitious But some kind of something going on down there
Well it might be Superstitious But some kind of something going on down there
It’s an old time tradition they play the drums at night on Congo Square
You can hear them in the distance the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
You can hear them in the distance the old folks up the bayou say a prayer
When the voodoo people gather and play the drums in Congo Square
Well my eyes could not believe the things they saw but I could not turn away
Well my eyes could not believe the things they saw but I could not turn away
When the voodoo people gather there was a woman she was dancing with a snake.
(With a snake ya’all)
Well it might be Superstitious But some kind of something going on down there
Well it might be Superstitious But some kind of something going on down there
It’s an old time tradition they play the drums at night on Congo Square
It’s an old time tradition they play the drums at night on Congo Square
