RED DRESS
Girl knows how to work it
Came late with a red dress on
Listen up quit laughin’ at me
Read my lips
better guard Your sons.
She does what She wants to,
long legs got a heart of stone
mama knows she’s a problem,
stays out late
leaves her man at home
Some of us got no reason
To be dead or alive
escapin’ pain can make you do evil
Most people
just been Tryin’ to survive
Gina wore red
when she was under the weather
Best friend said she could make
her feel better.
Seemed like a fine Idea at the time,
baby didn’t know that her soul
was on the line
Spent every dime
that she owned
before she stole roll
from everyone close.
deep down she was a good woman
but you’d never know
Some of us got no reason
To be dead or alive
escapin’ pain can make you do evil
Most people
just been Tryin’ to survive
And some of us got no dreams
they all died on the vine
They’re goin to hell
in search of a healer, Time after time
6 months later
she was lookin for help
But she couldn’t qualify
we rehabilitate the rich
keep the poor woman
out of the public eye.
18 months on a waiting list
rock bottom hit like an iron fist
She would never hurt anyone
so she robbed the store
with her hand in a bag sayin’ it’s a gun
Some of us got no reason
To be dead or alive
escapin’ pain can make you do evil
Most people
just been Tryin’ to survive
And some of us got no dreams
they all died on the vine
They’re goin to hell
in search of a healer Time after time
They say you can’t save everybody
Lord you can’t change nobody’s mind
And maybe some of us are
unreachable, unteachable
but what if we try?

BIPOLAR SCHIZOPHRENIC
Every day
Every day, every day
without you
is wonderful
And everything
Everything without you is
beautiful
I could go on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on and on
You twist the truth
so crazily
it’s plain to see
that you don’t care for right
or wrong
You’re like a greedy evil
Global corporation’s
Politician
make decisions
For your hidden reason
Special interest influences
But you’re bipolar schizophrenic
you get sick you get manic
and the voices tell you to do
what you want to
And if I went
back in time
I would tell all my friends
To kidnap me in my sleep
and make sure we never met
I remember the day
that your Quiet ex
sent me pictures
of Your Oklahoma mugshot
On the internet
There was an article
and from What it said
you were on parole
Implicated in your baby’s death
I couldn’t believe what I was
Hearin’ when
you went and Blamed it all
on your evil twin
You tried to convince me
with a Facebook page
there was just One fuzzy photo
and the friends
Were all from different states
You do what you want to
Oh im so relieved
I can breathe again
I forgot To mention
im so glad
you’re In detention
babe
Now I don’t have to deal with you
I got all the powers to
You got all the powers to
do what You want to

NO 2 WAYS
Do you know how hard life can be
When you can’t pay all the bills
Then your mom gets sick with cancer
But you can’t pay for the pills
She has to take every day
For the next year or two Or the rest of her life
The doctors say
That there aint
no two ways about it
Better run and pray
there aint no two ways about it
Better run and pray
Now every time you look around
and you think things can’t get worse
Rest assured that they can
Maybe they will cause happenstance
Is a matter o chance Or divine will
Times they are a’changin’
You’re standin’ still
The times they are a’changin’
You’re standin’ still
I can’t make up, Make up my mind
Wish you’d leave
cause I Can’t say goodbye
And I know we aint gonna last
Well I been so many places
That I don’t know
where im comin’ from
Took so many chances
That I spat back out
like chewing gum
Thoughts turn right into actions
Look what you done
And if actions turn into habits
What do we become?
I can’t make up, Make up my mind
Wish you’d leave
cause I Can’t say goodbye
And I know we aint gonna last
And someday I’ll be lookin’ back
When I lose hope that love is real
I’ll remember seein’ it From here
Well I been so lonely I can’t talk
And I been so sad
I couldn’t even walk
But I can’t complain much about it
So have we all
I can’t complain much about it
So have we all
I can’t make up, Make up my mind
Wish you’d leave
cause I Can’t say goodbye
And I know we aint gonna last
And someday I’ll be lookin’ back
When I lose hope that love is real
I’ll remember seein’ it From here
Ever since I met you
I feel better somehow
I don’t know where it came from
but I don’t want it gone
And there ain’t no two ways about it
I know it’s wrong

LOVE ME
Maybe all this time
I been lookin at you all wrong
Couldn’t see the picture for the frame
I was too busy hangin’ on
Love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
love me love me
Im alone and I picked another
lonely lonely lonely boy
Late he was out he was up all night
Lest get nothing by the end
Take me now is there comfort in it
Lift your eyes on emptiness
Love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
love me love me
Make me a memory somebody
Beam light down
Onto my face
Lookin’ for somebody
Who’s tryin’ to find me
And I can touch it
In my mind
Love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
love me love me
He may buy you a cup of coffee
He may ask about your dreams
But it doesn’t mean he loves you
No it doesn’t mean a thing
Doesn’t mean a thing
Doesn’t really mean a thing
Doesn’t mean a thing
Doesn’t really mean a thing
Love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
love me love me
Run from me
I need a
Need a new life and nothing less
Can’t find me in the grave you made
Ive been made into something else
Can’t tell me everything you never said
Tortured me into something else
Love me love me love me
Love me love me love me
love me love me
Love me
love me love
me Love me
love me love me love me
love me love me
Love me love me love me
Love me love me

GUITAR OFF THE WALL
I hate when we fight
We do it every night
Would it make things right
If I gave in to flight
If I run away
Everything’s fine
Just sign on the line
Just sign on the line
And we’ll put it behind us
don’t run away
Do you see me
goin off somewhere?
Do you see
Do you see me
Goin off somewhere
I been listenin’
I been standin’ out your door
I aint gonna tell you what I heard
and I aint gonna let you know
what im gonna do
before I do it
Im gonna take my guitar off the wall
And im gonna use it
Can’t please most anyone
Anytime anyway
said I aint gonna be able to please
Anyone
Most anytime anyway
So I might as well do it
I hate when we fight
We do it every night
Would it make things right
If I gave in to flight
If I runaway
Everything’s fine
Just sign on the line
Just sign on the line
And we’ll put it behind us
don’t run away
You can’t be sad
Cause this ain’t over
It never started
How can nothing
Leave you brokenhearted?
Remember in this life
You can’t spend what you aint got
And you can’t lose it
Im gonna take my guitar off the wall
And im gonna use it
