JENNY SAYS

I got no reason for the things I fear
the things that plague me when I see and hear
A dime’s a nickel and a nickel’s none
I’ll throw myself into the Sunday sun
A summer Sunday when you went insane
You said you’re going and I said I came
Throwing oranges in an apple cart
The ties that bind are tearing me apart

Jenny Says, turn off the radio
Jenny Says, turn off the light
Jenny Says, turn off the video
You beat yourself up, to bring yourself down
let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
When the world is coming down I let go

I got no reason for the things I say
She turned toward me then she turned away
Lots of forces in a modern world
That take a toll upon a modern girl
I got no reason for the things I fear
The thingss that plague me when I see and hear
Press my finger on an itchy trigger
What once was small right now is so much bigger

Chorus

I got no reason for the things I do
The dealer deals and then the dealer’s screwed
You throw your cards upon a playing table
My name is Cain and I am now Unable

Chorus

MAN ON THE RUN

I’ve got the desert in my eyes and the western skies on my mind
Everywhere I look I see wide open country for miles
Out in the distance there’s a mountain the size of the sun
And I ain’t going nowhere i feel like a man on the run...get gone

Adobe and teardrops are all I’m leaving behind
I’m somewhere in Texas, I’m lost and I don’t see the signs
In a bar in New Mexico and old man sells me a gun
But I’m not shooting anyone, I feel like a man on the run...oh yeah

whoa-oo-oo try and catch me
whoa-oo-oo I’ve gotta be free
whoa-oo-oo try and catch me
whoa-oo-oo Oh yeah

From San Bernadino you can see the lights of LA
The closer they get the further they’re slippin’ away
I can almost feel the redemption forgiveness becomes
But I won’t forgive anyone I feel like a man on the run

I feel like a man on the run
and i won’t forive anyone, i can’t forgive anyone, i don’t forgive anyone
And I won’t forgive you, thats true

LOVE OF MY LIFE

The love of my life is a shady lady
tearing me up just to bring me down
used to be calm but now she’s crazy
I don’t mind
Tearing me up like a jungle monkey
Cutting me up like a jungle cat
Used to fine but now she’s funky
I don’t mind
She’s not the love of my life anymore

The love of my life takes my lunch to breakfast
nary a thought that a man might starve
She used to smoke dope, but now she’s xing
I don’t mind
Tearing me down with a full lenght mirror
Praying for death while her beauty fades
She’ll go anywhere any man will lead her
I don’t mind
She’s not the love of my life anymore

I hurt, you walk
There ain’t no looking for the answer’s when the questions come and go
I’ll stay, you’ll go
There ain’t no hoping for tomorrow,
So I pack up all my sorrow and find some hope that I can borrow
I’m just trying to save my sanity and soul

MAGGIE DON'T TWO STEP

Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more

Baby, Baby got done wrong
Baby, Baby got done wrong
Baby, Baby got done wrong
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more

Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more

Now I’m standing middle of a dance floor
Standing middle of a dance floor
Standing middle of a dance floor
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more

Cajun French Stuff
Maggie don’t two-step no more!

Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step
Maggie, Maggie don’t two-step no more

LITTLE BLUE ONE

When I woke up, I heard a voice
and i froze in my bed
When I woke up I was divorced
how did you get back into my head
no, no, no, no, it was the radio
your gone and i don’t even think of you my little blue one

i was sleeping and had a dream
I was writing to you
it was creepy my dreamy dream
you read my letter remembered i loved you
no, no no no, you don’t love me anymore
your gone and i don’t even think of you my little blue one

dont even think of you reading your paper ea. morning
dont even think of you sipping your coffee and yawning
dont even think of your hands pulling hair back off your pretty face
dont even think of you walking away as i’m walking around this empty place.

i remember and try to forget with a bottle of wine
i remember an try to forget, that the ring your not wearing is mine
no no no no, you don’t wear it anymore
your gone and i don’t even think of you my little blue one
