Ten Minutes Aint Enough
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To have my needs satisfactorily pleased.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To know what I want before it leaves.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!
There has to be a bit of teased acquaintance.
With a chat that sits.
There has to be a bit of teased acquaintance.
With eyes that are fixed.
And not drifting.
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To have my needs satisfactorily pleased.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To know what I want before it leaves.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!
Some may wish a quick...
Beginning that swiftly ends.
With nothing to explore.
But an exit out a door!
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To know what I want before it leaves.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!
There has to be a bit of teased acquaintance.
With a chat that sits.
There has to be a bit of teased acquaintance.
With eyes that are fixed.
And not just there to lift and drift.
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To have my needs satisfactorily pleased.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!
Ten minutes aint enough,
No!
To know what I want before it leaves.
Ten minutes aint enough.
Ten minutes aint enough!

Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no senators son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord they dont help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them how much should we give ?
They only answer more! more! more!
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no militarys son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate one, no no
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son

25 Minutes To Go
They're buildin' the gallows outside my cell.
I got 25 minutes to go.
And in 25 minutes I'll be in Hell.
I got 24 minutes to go.
Well, they give me some beans for my last meal.
23 minutes to go.
And you know... nobody asked me how I feel.
I got 22 minutes to go.
So, I wrote to the Gov'nor... the whole damned bunch.
Ahhh... 21 minutes to go.
And I call up the Mayor, and he's out to lunch.
I got 20 more minutes to go.
Well, the Sheriff says, 'Boy, I wanna watch you die'.
19 minutes to go.
I laugh in his face... and I spit in his eye.
I got 18 minutes to go.
Well...I call out to the Warden to hear my plea.
17 minute to go.
He says, 'Call me back in a week or three.
You've got 16 minutes to go.'
Well, my lawyer says he's sorry he missed my case.
Mmmm....15 minutes to go.
Yeah, well if you're so sorry, come up and take my place.
I got 14 minutes to go.
Well, now here comes the padre to save my soul
With 13 minutes to go.
And he's talkin' about burnin', but I'm so damned cold.
I got 12 more minutes to go.
Now they're testin' the trap. It chills my spine.
I got 11 minutes to go.
'Cuz the goddamned thing it works just fine.
I got 10 more minutes to go.
I'm waitin' for the pardon... gonna set me free
With 9 more minutes to go.
But this ain't the movies, so to hell with me.
I got 8 more minutes to go.
And now I'm climbin up the ladder with a scaffold peg
With 7 more minutes to go.
I've betta' watch my step or else I'll break my leg.
I got 6 more minutes to go.
Yeah... with my feet on the trap and my head in the noose...
5 more minutes to go.
Well, c'mon somethin' and cut me loose.
I got 4 more minutes to go.
I can see the mountains. I see the sky.
3 more minutes to go.
And it's too damned pretty for a man to die.
i got 2 more minutes to go
I can hear the buzzards... hear the crows.
1 more minute to go.
And now I'm swingin' and here I gooooooooo....

Relationships And That Kind Of Closeness
Some people are just more suitable,
Than I am...
For relationships and that kind of closeness.
Five minutes alone with anyone,
And I begin to feel paranoid.
With the feeling of the air beginning to pollute.
And 'IF' that time should extend to six minutes,
I am the one demanding a quick divorce.
Show me the papers to sign on that bottom line.
Most things I do well...
But relationships?
That 'aint' one of them!

30 Minutes
Mama, papa forgive me
Out of sight, out of mind
Out of time to decide
Do we run? should I hide
For the rest of my life
Can we fly? do we stay?
We could lose we could fail
And the more minutes take
To make planer, or mistakes
30 minutes, the blink of the night
30 minutes to alter our lifes
30 minutes to make up my mind
30 minutes to finally decide
30 minutes to whisper your name
30 minutes to shelter the blame
30 minutes of bliss, 30 lies
30 minutes to finally decide
Carousels in the sky
That we shape with our eyes
Under shade silhouettes casting
Shapes crying rain
Can we fly do I stay
We could lose, we could fail
Either way, options change
Chances fail, trains derail.
30 minutes, the blink of the night
30 minutes to all of our lifes
30 minutes to make up my mind
30 minutes to finally decide
30 minutes to whisper your name
30 minutes to show her the blame
30 minutes of bliss, 30 lies
30 minutes to finally decide
To decide, to decide to decide to decide
(repeat until fade)

I Aint Got Nothin But The Blues
Aint got the change of a nickel
Aint got no bounce in my shoes
Aint go no fancy to tickle
I aint got nothing but the blues
Aint got no coffee thats perking
Aint got no winnings to lose
Aint got a dream that is working
I aint got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just cant make it come down
Believe me peppie,
I cant get happy
Since my ever loving baby left town
Aint got no rest in my slumbers
Aint got no feelings to bruise
Aint got no telephone numbers
I aint got nothing but the blues

The Last Five Minutes Of Your Life
given the last five minutes
of your life
what shall you do?
let the last five minutes
be a waiting
let there be that willingness
to go where the last five minutes take you
let there be a respect
for an ending
let it be as nice as the first welcome
let it be as silent as a cat's feet
on the carpet
embrace the last five minutes
like your long lost friend
tightly
without any tears.

Aint That Loving You Baby
(words and music by clyde otis and ivory joe hunter)
I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?
I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin and my kissin belong to just one
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?
If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat
Id give em all to you and never take one back
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?
Im putting on my sunday suit and Im goin downtown
But Ill be kissin your lips before the sun goes down
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?

Aint It Blue?
Done the things I said I would
Some of them were pretty good
Suddenly they changed the game
I only know its not the same no more
I dont know what to do the rules I knew
Aint it sad
Aint it sad
Aint it true
Aint it true
Aint it blue
Aint it blue
The life I live is pretty nice
Of course I had to pay a price
Lots of folks depend on me
Crazy kind of slavery, what for
I dont know what to do the rules I knew
Aint it sad
Aint it sad
Aint it true
Aint it true
Aint it blue
Aint it blue
Aint it blue
Sometimes I want to walk away
I felt like that just yesterday
But then this song is in my head
I try my best till Im dead and gone
I dont know what to do the rules I knew
Aint it sad
Aint it sad
Aint it true
Aint it true
Aint it blue
Aint it blue
Aint it blue

It's really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it's six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it's 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that's 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I've done three hours worth of work.

If Walls Could Talk
(bobby miller)
Well, if things could talk then Im sure youd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk
Now, if shoes could tell where theyve been
When you say youve been visiting a friend
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
He-he-hey, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that shoes dont talk
Now, if doors could tell whos turned the knob
When hes away out on his job
If cars could tell whos been inside
And whos been taking you out for a ride
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that cars dont talk
In a world of trouble Id be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
cause Im guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Aint no telling what they might say
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk

He Aint With Me
Calling all these other guys
Im seeing something I didnt before
Is that a new look in your eyes
Now you dont believe that Im asking for more
I saw you walking down the street
With another girl who looks just like me
People always say we look so happy
He took my love but he didnt take me
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
You say you laughed with your old girlfriend
Youre doing nothing to encourage the end
I could be charming on long distance too
And if you want Ill make it easier for you
Communication is the key
Interrogation dont work for me
You saw that other guy smiling at me
If you were here I wouldnt act so free
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
He likes to hold my hand in public
Stranger cant you see he aint with me
He aint with me he aint with me no more
He aint with me he aint with me
Bridge
I guess fate really has my number
Every time you wander away
I reconsider all the time you said youd stay
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He aint with me no more
He likes to hold my hand in public
He aint with me he aint with me
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
He aint with me

I Wont Cry For You
So you lie awake and think about tomorrow,
And you try to justify the things youve done,
But theres no one here, to hear your tears falling,
When you turn around, you find out, that youre the lonely one.
And it feels like someones treading on your shadow,
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure,
And it feels like youre drowning, in your tears.
So I wont cry for you, no I aint gonna cry for you,
And I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you.
Aint gonna cry for you.
So you lie awake and think about the sorrow,
Does it really still the fears in your mind,
And you try to realise the things you wanted,
But you take it all for granted and now it makes you blind.
And it feels like someones treading on your shadow,
And you always thought that heaven knows for sure,
And it feels like youre drowning, in your tears.
So I aint gonna cry for you, no I aint gonna die for you,
And I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you.
Aint gonna cry
I aint gonna cry for you, I aint gonna cry.
So I aint gonna cry for you, no I aint gonna die for you,
No I aint gonna lie for you, no I aint gonna cry for you,
Aint gonna cry, aint gonna cry for you no more,
Aint gonna die, I aint gonna die for no more,
Aint gonna lie, I aint gonna lie for no more,
Aint gonna cry, I aint gonna cry for you no more.

I Aint Ever Satisfied
I love the things that scare most folks to death
But I aint ever satisfied
Ill stay till the end or till im gasping for breath
But I aint ever satisfied
No, I am never satisfied
I can pretty much come and go as I like
But I aint ever satisfied
Hey, with no bottom line its hard to know wrong from right
But I aint ever satisfied
Ill try anything once but than I do it to death
But I aint ever satisfied
I expect the worse but I hope for the best
Oh, I aint ever satisfied
No, I am never satisfied
No, no, no, no, I am never satisfied
Cantt get enough, no, of nothing
Ive got seven of everything and more in the till
But I aint ever satisfied
You think its dangerous stuff
It aint even a thrill
I aint ever satisfied
Oh, I am never
No, I am never
I dont know why I aint ever satisfied

Aint Nobodys Business If I Do
By porter grainger and everett robbins
There aint nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So Im gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And dont care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I go to church on sunday
And I shimmy down on monday,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
And if my friend aint got no money
And I say, all right, take all of mine honey,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I know that she wont call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It aint nobodys business if I do, lord no.
Well, it aint nobodys business if I do.

Ill Be Here A While
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while
Far is solace in the maddening pace
Sad state written on my face
Not a tight rope walk but dance
Uncertain game of chance
But Ill see it through in time
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while
And if a person place or thing can deliver
I will quiver with delight
Tempted by the hand that could
Blind my vision and sight
But at twenty years of age
In frolic and in rage
I will see it through in time
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Ill be here a while
But the dawn has come into the endless night
And everythings going to be alright
But at thirty years of age
Through frolic and in rage
All regressed and healed in time
Ill be here a while, aint going nowhere
Said i, said i, said i, I will survive
