Lie To Me (written by Bruce McCabe & David Z) Lie to me and tell me everything is all right Lie to me and tell me that you’ll stay here tonight Tell me that you’ll never leave, and I’ll just try to make believe that everything you tell me is true Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me Lie to me, it doesn’t matter anymore It could never be what it was before If I can’t hold on to you leave me with somethin’ I can hold onto, for just a little while won’t you let me be Anyone can see that you love him more than me But right now, baby, let me pretend that our love will never end Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Darker Side (written by Bruce McCabe) Look at the man with the smile on his face Looks like he’s always feelin’ good Sometimes you might want to take his place and sometimes I think that you would When the sun is goin’ down and there is no place to hide Even in the brightest light you might lean toward the darker side Look at the people, they learn how to lie so easy They learn how to lie to get what they need and after they got what they needed It turns into a simple case of greed When they no longer feel ashamed and they’ve lost all sense of pride Misery loves company and it’s lonely on the darker side And when the party is over and the music has died You’ll be dancin’ to the music, baby somewhere on the darker side Somewhere on the darker side
Good Mornin’ Little Schoolgirl (written by Sonny Boy Williamson) Good morning little schoolgirl can I go home with you tell your mama and your daddy that I'm a little schoolboy too Baby I love ya, I just can’t help myself you're so good lookin’ pretty baby I don’t need nobody else Good morning little schoolgirl can I go home with you ooo, ooo, ooowee I’m gonna leave you baby about the break of day on account of the way you treat me I’ve got to stay away Good mornin’ little schoolgirl can I go home with you tell your mama and your daddy I’m a little schoolboy too Come on pretty baby oh ya know I help myself ooo, ooo, ooowee I’m gonna buy me an airplane and fly all over your town and tell everybody, baby Lord knows you’ve been putting me down I just can’t stand it baby just cannot help myself You're so young and pretty but you’re in love with somebody else Good mornin’ little schoolgirl can I go home with you ooo, ooo, ooowee oh, baby what you do to me Oh, I can't help myself
Still Wonder (written by Kevin Bowe) I wonder about her, I wonder where she went from here still wonder about her, but nothing’s comin’ in too clear since she left me all alone my days go by like years Well I’m thinkin’ about her and all the things she used to say still I’m thinkin’ about her but something’s getting in the way I remember when she told me she would up and leave me someday I drive around in circles through the city just waitin’ for the lights to change but right about when midnight hits me moonlight gets me feelin’ kind of crazy I wonder about her, does she still wear that same old ring I still wonder about her and I know it ain’t no big thing well she left me all alone now and I’m just waiting for my phone to ring I’ve been dreaming about her, I guess I never really knew that living without her was more than I could ever do Because she ain’t comin’ back, no she ain’t comin’ back no she ain’t comin’ back cause there's nothin’ left to come back to
Match Box (written by Ike Turner) Yeah I’m tired of sighing tired of worrying you too I’ve made up my mind what I’m gonna do I’ve got my clothes in a matchbox gonna forget about you I’ve tried to tell you many times but I never could do it you believe me baby, this time I’m through I got my clothes in a matchbox I’m gonna forget about you Now when things get harder and rough on you you don’t try to get me back, baby Because I’m through I’ve got my clothes in a matchbox I’m gonna forget about you

A Quitter Never Wins (written by Tinsley Ellis & Margaret Sampson) Seems like now days ain’t nothin’ meant to last one day you’ve got it all and then it disappears so fast and you know our love is on and off again well I know you wanna quit me, baby but a quitter never wins Well, you’ve walked out on our lovin’ but I’ve stayed through thick and thin and you know our love is on and off again I know you want to quit me but a quitter never wins Seems like now days love is a word that no one means ya said you’d never leave me then ya upped and walked right out on me and now our love is on and off again well, I know you wanna quit me but a quitter never wins Well, I know you wanna quit me baby but a quitter never wins a quitter never wins
Hit The Ground Runnin' (written by Michael Lunn & Jeff Silbar) I’m the biggest fool there ever was, I let you go now I can’t survive without your touch, I need you so now baby all you’ve got to do is tell me that you need me too I hit the ground runnin’ back to you Well, I’d rather die a thousand deaths than lose your love but now I’m drowning in my loneliness I can rise above Well, just forgive this one last time and tell me baby you’re still mine I hit the ground runnin’ back to you
Rack ‘Em Up (written by Bruce McCabe) I used to hang out at Jack’s Pool Hall you go down there and don’t do nothin’ at all if you wanted to play some cards there was a game in the back if you wanted to shoot or somethin’ you went and talked to Jack if you had a little money you was a grade A fool there was a guy down there who used to shoot a little pool Rack ‘em up till the day he was dead that all they ever said Rack ‘em up He didn’t own a TV set, didn’t own a car he ate what whatever Jack was makin’ back behind the bar they said he had a wife, but she left him in tears he hadn’t been home in twenty five years Rack ‘em up They came from all over thinkin’ they were pretty hot put all their money on the table, wanna play the best we got nine in the corner, five in the side take a hundred dollar bill and just let it ride I tell him listen son, ain’t no disaster there ain’t no shame in being beat by a master Rack ‘em up til the day he was gone they said it all day long Rack ‘em up
When I Come To You (written by Jonny Lang and Dennis Morgan) When I’m all alone when I’m feelin’ Blue no one understands me, baby nobody but you Through all the sleepless nights and the rainy day til the sun is nowhere in view the only way I make it through is when I come to you and in my darkest hour, when the midnight shadows fall baby you got the power to make the angels come to call I just hold you in my arms and let music in my heart play the whole night through when I come to you, I felt so brand new, when I come to you When I come to you, you make it all right again when I come to you, you keep me from the howlin’ wind and feel brand new, when I come to you
There’s Got To Be A Change (written by Gwendolyn Collins) Oh, there’s got to be a change things just can’t stay the same if I got any worse off I’d have myself to blame I’ve played the blues so long now there ain’t nothin’ left for me to do I just can’t give it up if I do my life would be through Well now I’ve been to Kentucky, Chicago too all over St. Louis, ain’t nothin’ left to do, baby but I’ll play the blues for you, yes I will well I’ve been down to Texas to the international revenue I ain’t got no money now, honey now ain’t nothin’ left to do well I’ll play the blues for you
Missin’ Your Love (written by Jonny Lang & Dennis Morgan) You lay me down, whisper in my ear well, it may be my name you call but it’s his name I hear You promised me through thick and thin you told me you loved me, you told me a lie Because you love him And I’m missin’ your love every day I’m missin’ your love every way though you’re here with me, I’m still missin’ your love And when we talk, you look into my eyes you’re talkin’ to me but baby I can see he’s on your mind And I’m missin’ your love every day I’m missin’ your love love every way though you’re here with me, baby, I’m missin’ your love I reach out for you and you turn away it takes all I can do to make it through the day and I’m missin’ your love And I’m missin’ your love every day missin’ your love every way though you’re here with me I’m still missin’ your love
Still Rainin' Second Guessing I Am Breakin' Me Wander This World Walking Away The Levee Angel Of Mercy Right Back Leaving To Stay Before You Hit the Ground Cherry Red Wine
Still Rainin' (Bruce McCabe) Clouds, one by one, fill the sky Just like these tears that fill my eyes Well, I know by now she ain't comin' back And I watch my world slowly fade to black Look out my window, it's still rainin' Look out my window, it's still rainin' They say that time heals everything I know the pain, honey, that love can bring It don't get no better with each passing day Every hope I had is slowly slipping away Look out my window, it's still rainin' Look out my window, it's still rainin' I thought the morning would rescue me But the rain keeps falling so endlessly, endlessly Solo Sometimes I wonder what'll become of me There ain't much left that I used to be Her love shone on me like the morning light Now here I am alone again tonight Look out my window, it's still rainin' Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Second Guessing (David Z, Bruce McCabe) Second guessin', first impressions There you go again Rushing off in all directions Since I don't know when All day long you've been building walls You've been building walls all day Putting ceilings on your feelings When they should flying away Everything you're looking for You'll know when it's real You'll know when you've found it By the way, the way, just the way it makes you feel Writing down your deepest emotions With your pen in hand Your piece of paper flew out the window You watched it try to land You felt bad as it flew out of sight A part of your heart alone in the night But all of a sudden you didn't mind it When you pictured that lonely stranger that would finally find it Everything you're looking for You'll know when it's real You'll know when you've found it By the way, just the way, the way it makes you feel
I Am (Prince, David Z, Levi Seacer, Jr.) If being in love means waiting around So you can dance with me I am, I am If being in love means follow the leader Then this will have to be I am, I am I am, I am Baby I am So in love with you I am, I am Gonna get you baby If it's the last thing I do I used to think that a pretty face Meant more than what was inside I did, I did If being a good man means swallowing all my pride I will, yes I will I am, I am Baby I am So in love with you I am, I am Gonna get you baby If it's the last thing I do I am the one who loves you I am the one who cares You could fly me to the moon If I would find you there All the riches in this world mean nothing Without you here Whoever, whatever, however, whenever, You need me I'm always here Men killing their brothers Nobody wants to go down alone In world of uncertainty Love's worth more than gold I'd wait outside your window If that would make you see That I'm the only one for you And you're the only one for me
Breakin' Me (Jonny Lang, Kevin Bowe) Every day I see your face I wish I'd stayed Don't even know what made me run away It's just the way I play the game Emotional is not a word I'd use to explain myself But now I'm down upon my knees Baby please take me back I don't want to be in love but you're makin' me Let me up I've had enough. Girl you're breakin' me Here I am just half a man standing alone Feeling like I lost my only chance At happiness when I let you go I don't want to be alone thinkin' bout you girl I got nothin' left to hold in this lonely world Solo The first time my heart was ever touched Was the day I lost your love I can feel it in my flesh and blood My soul can only take it so much So there it is. Why can't you give us one more try You and I could find a way to live If you let me in one more time I know you lost your faith in me but I still believe Can I make you understand, can I make you see That I'm desperate for your love and it's breakin' me It's breakin' me
Wander This World (Paul Diethelm, Bruce McCabe) The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat And the sweats runnin' down from my hair I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet And I'll walk 20 more I don't care And I'll wander this world, wander this world Wander this world, wander this world all alone I'm like a ghost some people can't see Others drive by and stare A shadow that drifts by the side of the road It's like I'm not even there And I'll wander this world, wander this world Wander this world, wander this world all alone Well I've never been part of the game The life that I live is my own All that I know is that I was born To wander this world all alone, all alone Some people are born with their lives all laid out And all their success is assured Some people work hard all their lives for nothin' They take it and don't say a word They don't say a word Sometimes it's like I don't even exist Even God has lost track of my soul Why else would he leave me out here like this To wander this world all alone And I'll wander this world, wander this world Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Walking Away (Jonny Lang, Jerry Lynn Williams) You can cry But don't cry for me I can't take it no more That's the way it must be You can't lie You're way back in Back into my heart I won't let it be broken again I took a tumble I started to stumble That's when I fell Into a love A thought came from above I was under your spell The things that mattered Were broken and shattered One by one I was so sad But now I'm glad It's over and over There's just one more thing That I want to say I truly loved you But now I'm walking away I put no one above you That's why I'm walking away
The Levee (Kevin Bowe) I have been to Memphis but I couldn't find no peace My soul is feeling restless and I need some relief I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find I know the river holds the answers that'll ease my worried mind Take me down to the levee where the women sing Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing Take me down to the levee where the river flows Gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them go Well, I have been to Natchez, been down to Baton Rouge But the Delta keeps on callin' me no matter what I do Chorus Solo I'm drivin' through the darkness, down Highway 61 Heading for the crossroads like the ones before me done
Angel Of Mercy (Bruce McCabe, Michael Henderson) Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing The way you came to my rescue Heaven must be watchin' over me When the shadows fallin' and the day turns into night I hear my angel callin' and I can't wait to see the light Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing The way you came down to my rescue Heaven must be watchin' over me Sometimes I get a feelin' like a fever comin' over me Just a touch of my angels hand and I'm right back on my feet Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing The way you came down to my rescue Heaven must be watchin' over me Stay with me baby. Come down from the sky Just like an angel. Take me to paradise Angel of mercy you don't need no golden wing The way you came down to my rescue Heaven must be watchin' over me
Right Back (Jerry Lynn Williams, Danny Kortchmar) Well you keep on talkin' bout it Till you're stone cold blue in the face But there ain't nothing darling That true love can't replace Yah, you're right, right back Tryin' to pretend Yah, you're right back, right back, Doin' the same old thangs again Well you're money hungry And your heart is full of greed Tellin' everybody you get everything you need So you say You're right, right back Doin' the same old thang again Yah for me it's the same old movie Same movie just a different scene Never meaning what you're sayin' Never sayin' what you mean Now you're right, right back Trying to pretend Yah I said, you're right, right back Doin' the same old thang again You're money hungry And you're heart is full of greed Tellin' everybody you get everything you need You know it's a lie And now you're right, right back Tryin' to pretend Doin' the same old thang again Yah you're right, right back Tryin' to pretend Yah you're right, right back Doin' the same old thangs again Ahhhh Right back Right back Right back Now you're right, right back Tryin' to pretend Doin' the same old thang again Right back, tryin' to pretend Right back doin' the same old thang again Right back Right back
Leaving To Stay (Kevin Bowe, Jonny Lang) I can't believe in what I've seen I been forsaken. I been deceived Cast aside and left behind I can't believe my own eyes I been waiting for the glory Of the coming of the Lord I heard a lot of stories But all my prayers have been ignored I been waiting in the wings Between the ocean and the shore But this time I'm leaving to stay I'm walking away I seen the red sky in the morning I seen the low tide slipping away I do believe I'll take warning Taking my leave to stay Chorus Solo Like an angel afraid to fly Like the last lonely rose hung on the vine
Before You Hit The Ground (Kevin Bowe, Jonny Lang) I seen every one of the faces you wear Low, high and everything in between Your eyes are fixed on the prize like a dead man's stare Tick. tock. The hands on the clock don't care Buzz is good Feelin' fine One of these days You'll be out of time God ain't gonna look for you Down in the lost and found You better look up or you're gonna be gone Before you hit the ground You'll keep dippin' in til the well run dry Hope you don't get thirsty later I know talking to you's just a waste of my time I'm gonna stop tellin' you how to live your life Chorus Solo One more. Time to score so make it fast When you lose your mind you got no mind left to lose Three, four open the door to your last chance And when you get where you're goin' you won't be comin' back You better look up or you're gonna be gone Before you hit the ground
Cherry Red Wine (Luther S. Allison) Watching you baby watching you all the time Watching you watching you all the time Watching you destroy yourself All you do is sit around drinking wine You worry me baby I'm sitting here wondering wondering what in the world can I do You're worrying me, you're worrying me baby Sitting here wondering what in the world can I do We've got so much to live for baby But I can't do nothing but sit here and watch that wine destroy you That's wrong baby I'm taking you to the doctor darling Maybe the doctor knows what's going on in your head Maybe the doctor can help me baby Maybe he knows what's going on in your head You see you're gonna keep on drinking that bad wine baby Even the grass that grows on your grave will be cherry red
