Well hello there,

Man In The Moon
Waved goodbye to a friend of mine
I guess its time as the sun shines through the dawn
Another night is gone
Seems like days since I saw her face
In her place no trace of yesterday
Yeah, but thats okay
If she never comes back, itll be too soon
Im doin just fine just me
And the man in the moon
Well all in all it aint a bad change
I like it alone cause no one ever complains
I dont confuse the names
I heard about love is blind
Well I found lying times and true deceit
The way she uses me
The air so think it feels like june
Im doin fine just me
And the man in the moon
If she never comes back, itll be too soon
Im singin my song to the man in the moon
Once in a while you can catch me smile
With time to burn I turn the music on
I play my favorite song
All in all it aint a bad change
I like it alone cause no one ever complains
I dont confuse the names
I remember her face when I hear that tune
Im doin fine just me
And the man in the moon

Butterfly
Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Every time I pin down
What I think I want it slips away
Her ghost slips away
Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me
Baby, I can't live with that
Baby, I need fantasy
Life of chasing butterfly
I'm sorry for what I did
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Every time I pin down
What I think I want it slips away
Her ghost slips away
I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

Aint No Particular Way
(here it comes
Mmm, the thing about love)
Love has a way to find ya
Sneaks up right behind ya
There aint no particular way
You dont know when its gonna
Come runnin round the corner
There aint no particular way
So, dont give up (dont give up
On love till you get your share)--
Youre gonn get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
Love is its)--is that its everywhere
[chorus]
There aint nowhere it wont hide
(there aint nowhere it wont hide)
There aint no speed it wont drive
(there aint no speed in wont drive)
There aint no law it wont break
(there aint no law it wont break)
There aint no chance it wont take
There aint no, no particular way
Oh, it could come so fast it fools ya
Might take its time to move ya
There aint no particular way
It might just drift in while youre dreaming
It dont sleep, always schemin
There aint no particular way
So, dont give up (dont give up
On love til you get your share)--
Youre gonna get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
Love is its)--is that its everywhere
[repeat chorus]
You cant hide, oh
(there aint no time) it comes when you least expect it--
(there aint no day)
When you thought youd been rejected
(there aint no how)(there aint no way)
There aint no particular way
(there aint no why)
Love aint for just the lucky
(there aint no when)
Its there for everybody
(there ain no what)
There aint no particular way
(there aint no way)
So, dont give up (dont give up
On love til you get your share)--
Youre gonna get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
Love is its)--is that its everywhere
[repeat chorus (1.5x)]
(there aint no time) yeah, yeah, yeah
(there aint no day)

Oh, there aint no way!

Like I Love You
Why do lovers drift apart
How does love fade away
When do pieces of a broken heart mend again
Youve been crying in the dark
And youve been feeling alone
Dont be scared of what youll find
When you turn the light on
Aint nobody gonna say goodbye
Aint nobody gonna walk away
This time, baby, Im learning how to love you, love you
Aint nobody gonna make you cry
Aint nobody ever really tried to love
Like I love you
What sad memory of yesterday
What terrible scar
Keeps you gathering pieces of
Your shattered heart
There was once upon a time
When hope was living within
I know there will come a time
When you can believe again
(chorus)
How long have you been feeling lost and lonely
How long have you been sad and blue
This time, baby, Im learning how to love you, love you
Aint nobody gonna make you cry
Aint nobody ever really tried to love
Like I love you
This time, baby, Im learning how to love you, love you
Let me love you, like I love you

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

Crumbs Off The Table
(sherrie payne / ronald dunbar / edith wayne)
Ooh, hoo
Get up in the morning
bout a quarter to nine
Get home in the evenin
Too tired to make time
Give me the lovin
Ive been waiting for all day
Youre always a little too tired
To ever look my way
You got me hungry for your love
But you, you aint able
All you want to give me
Is the crumbs off the table
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me who you been doin?
I ache inside
With a lovin desire
But youre too tired, baby
To light my fire
I work in this house all day
And I get tired too
There aint a day goes by
I aint willing to make love to you
Im hungry for your love
But you, you aint able
All you want to give me
Is the crumbs off the table, ah
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin?
Hey, sometimes in the middle of the day
I get lovin you on my mind
But as soon as you get home
You read the paper
Aint got the time
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me, who you been doin?
What you been doin?
Who you been wooin?
Tell me, tell me, tell me who you been doin?
I said Im hungry for your lovin
But you, you aint able
All you want to give me is the crumbs off the table
Hungry for your love
But you

The Year 2000 Minus 25
Welcome to the year 2000, minus 25
Oh say, can you smell er for the smoke?
Gods still up there laughin
So hes gotta be alive
Who says he cant take a dirty joke?
Power is and power does and power slips away
Its so easy to abuse.
Whoda thought them arabs woulda bought the usa
Just to give it to the jews?
Chorus:
Singin crime still dont pay
Just like it used to
(just like it used to)
And time slips away til you die
(slips away til you die)
You know but I dont give a damn
When I choose to
(when I choose to)
And you know but it dont hurt so bad
When youre high
(when youre high)
Oh say does the future of the homesick and the brave
Even matter anymore
There aint no more reason for them boys to run away now
Than there was the fight before
And could you tell me why the hell we tried to win back in the war
What we wasted in the last?
Might just aint as righteous as it used to be before
When your armys out of gas
Chorus:
Singin crime still dont pay
Just like it used to
(just like it used to)
And time slips away til you die
(slips away til you die)
You know but I dont give a damn
When I choose to
(when I choose to)
And you know but it dont hurt so bad
When youre high
(when youre high)

Nowhere
If ever you wondered
If ever you were nervous about it
You gotta know,
I aint never,
Lemme say that again,
I aint never, goin nowhere
Listen to me
Last night I allmost cried when you told me
That you think you love me more than I love you
Sometimes it hurts to carry that burden alone
Lets be clear and get a few things straight
No ones ever gunna take your place in my heart
Nothing can measure the love that i've got for you
Im telling you
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere
I was lost and abandoned
Searching for the truth
Looking for that missing one
That missing one was you
The road was so tough
But you gave it up
Untill I found you and you made it
Worth the wait and worth the years
Worth the strength and worth the tears
And you dont know the half of it
But baby heres the rest of it
Did you know that your a gift far brighter than the sun?
Did you know that your a blessing, and im the lucky one
Did you know that I could never ask for a better love
Did you know that I would die, before I broke your heart
Did you know that if you left me, my world would fall apart
And never come back together, baby thats for real
So the next time that you tell me, you'll remember this
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere

Loves Got A Hold On Me
Honey got something to tell you
You drive me outta my mind
Crazy situation, it aint infatuation
Aint gonna waste no more time
Back now a new days coming
Everything is plain to see

Do you want to be with me
What a fool I kept you hangin on the line

Goodbye
Aint it funny how the time slips away
cause now Im leavin and I wish I could stay
People wonder why they dont get a chance
They wait for music but they dont get to dance
Mmm, well now I know when my work is through
Im gonna be with you
So goodbye
Is only for now
cause Im comin back
I swear it somehow
Aint it funny how we win but we lose
Were given prizes that we dont get to use
People wonder bout the things that weve got
It seems so little but we know its a lot
Now I know when my work is through
Im gonna be with you, oh yeah
Im gonna be with you
So goodbye, is only for now
cause Im comin back, I swear it somehow
Oh, goodbye is only for now

And I hate to leave

We Dont Talk Anymore
Used to think that life was sweet,
Used to think we were so complete,
I cant believe youd throw it away.
Used to feel we had it made,
Used to feel we could sail away,
Can you imagine how I feel today,
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one,
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one,
Do you know what youve done.
Its so funny how we dont talk anymore,
Its so funny why we dont talk anymore,
But I aint losing sleep and I aint counting sheep,
Its so funny how we dont talk anymore.
Well it really doesnt matter to me,
I guess your leaving was meant to be,
Its down to you now you wanna be free,
Well I hope you know which way to go youre on your own again,
And dont come crying to me when youre the lonely one,
Remember what youve done.
Its so funny how we dont talk anymore,
Its so funny why we dont talk anymore,
But I aint losing sleep and I aint counting sheep,
Its so funny how we dont talk anymore.
But I aint losing sleep and I aint counting sheep,
Its so funny how we dont talk anymore.
But I aint losing sleep and I aint counting sheep,
Its so funny how we dont talk anymore.

So Long
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
Dont know where Im heading for
Turn my back and walk away
Dont think about whats left behind
Otherwise
Think about the good times
Think about the people you love
Think about the sun that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Im better by myself
So long, so long
Dont need nobody else
If I fade from peoples hearts
Im glad I left them far behind
Theres one thing that holds me still
Im thinkin
The memory of your kiss
The memory of your sweet caress
The memory of you love that is gone
And there aint no use me talking bout the things we used to do
So long, so long
Got no time for tears
So long, so long
Got music in my ears
Got no time for muswell town
Gonna look around now
My old town was good to me
But oh...
Guess Ill say so long now
Dont even say a word
Ill turn my back and walk away, but oh...
The day that Ive seen everything I promise to return
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long
See you all some day
So long, so long
Now Im on my way
So long, so long

Long Time Gone
Daddy sits on the front porch swingin'
Look in' out on a bacon field
Used to be filled with burning tobacco
Now he knows it never will
My brother found work in Indiana
Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
Momma still cooking too much for supper
And me I've been a long time gone
[chorus]
Baby long time gone
No I aint hoed a row since I don't know when
Long time gone
And I aint comin' back again
Amilia plays that old church piano
Sittin' out on her daddy's farm
She always thought that we'd be together
Lord I never meant to do her harm
Said she could her me singin in the choir
Me I heard another song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
And lord i've been long time gone
[chorus]
Baby long time gone
Lord i aint had a purse since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it aint commin' back again
Now me I went to Nashville
Trying to beat the big deal
Playing down to Broadway
Getin' in the ahrd way
Livin' from a tip jar
Sleepin' in mah car
Huggin' my guitar ya im gonna be a staaaar
Now me until your singin' every sunday
Watchin' the children in the garden grove
Listen to the radio to hear what's cookin'
But the music aint got....NO SOUL!
Now they sound tired but they don't sound haggard
They got money but they don;t got cash
They got Junior but they don;t got Hank
I thank
I thank
I thank the rest is....
[chorus]
Long time gone
No I aint hit the roof since i don't know when
Long time gone
And it aint commin' back
I said Long time gone
No I aint parked a Ford since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it aint commin' back agaiiiin
I said a long time

Its A Matter Of Time
(words & music by clive westlake)
Its a matter of time before I go back there
A matter of time before I go home
I have been way from her now for a long time
And Ive lived a life I thought that it should be
Its a long, long way from now to maybe sometime
And the waiting round is really killing me
Its a matter of time before I go back there
A matter of time oh lord, before I go home
Its a long way I know and the goin aint easy
Shell see me again its a matter of time
I think Ill take a train right early in the morning
Just to see how far I get along the way
But the trains dont run too often only sometimes
So I guess Id better wait another day
Its a matter of time before I go back there
A matter of time before I go home
Its a long way I know and the goin aint easy
Shell see me again, its just a matter of time
Shell see me I know its a matter of time

Love Ain't Nothing But A Four Letter Word
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train to arrive
Thinking bout her destination, the tattered bag had all she had in life
She turned her back on her family, she turned her back on her friends
She turned her back on a married man when she took off that wedding band
She said, Im giving up, silver clouds have turned to grey
Had enough, theres got to be a better way
Giving up, you know youve gotta walk
Theres some things in life still worth fighting for
Aint no big secret so forget all you heard
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
For some its for better, for some its for worse
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint nothing
This time he said was the last time, last time he said just the same
In your heart you know that theyll be a next time
That your battered bones would have to explain
Givin up, nothings changing but the score
Had enough, every night love turns to war
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more
It aint nothing worth dying for
Its no big secret so forget all you heard
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
For some its a blessing, for some its a curse
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint nothing
Forget your mamas rosary beads to get you through this time of need
You know you gotta cross that line
You take it one day at a time
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning grey
Im heading for a better day
No big secret so forget all you heard
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
For some its for better, for some its for worse
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint nothing (it aint nothing now, baby)
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint nothing (nothing now, baby)
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint nothing (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Love aint nothing but a four-letter word
Love aint nothing...

Big Time

Get ready baby, were going uptown
Its friday night, were gonna get down
I thought you might like this brand new baby-blue dress
I figured out about a quarter til ten
Well be partied out and headin in
You and me alone darlin doing what we do best
Big time, were gonna have one
Big time, were gonna grab some
Lovin huggin cuddlin upin
Rendezvous
cuz Im in love with you
Big time
A little music, a sip of champagne
By candlelight, just doin our thing
Let the crowd wonder what in the world happened to us
Well they can boogie woogie all night long
Let em dance til the cows come home
For what we want this old honky tonk aint enough
Big time, were gonna have one
Big time, were gonna grab some
Lovin huggin cuddlin upin
