Mississippi Halfstep
On the day when I was born daddy sat down and cried.
I had the mark just as plain as day; which could not be denied.
They say that cain caught abel rollin loaded dice;
Ace of spades behind his ear and him not thinkin twice.
Halfstep, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, baby, Im gone, good-bye
Half a cup of rock and rye. farewell to you old southern skies
Im on my way, on my way.
If all you got to live for is what you left behind,
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine.
Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin leather.
I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather.
Halfstep, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, baby, Im gone, good-bye
Half a cup of rock and rye. farewell to you old southern skies
Im on my way, on my way.
They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails;
Whats the point of callin shots; this cue aint straight in line.
Cue balls made of styrofoam and no ones got the time.
Halfstep, mississippi uptown toodeloo hello, baby, Im gone, good-bye
Half a cup of rock and rye. farewell to you old southern skies
Im on my way, on my way.
Across the rio grandeeo, across the lazy river.

Your Southern Can Is Mine
Lookie here momma let me explain ya this
If ya wanna get crooked ill even give ya my fist
Ya might read from revelation back to genesis
Ya keep forgetten your southern can belongs to me
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine in the mornin
Your southern can belongs to me
Ya might go uptown have me arrested, put in jail
Some hotshots got money gonna pull my bail
Soon as i get out, hit the ground
Your southern can is worth a thousand, half a pound
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, talkin about it
Your southern can belongs to me
Ya might take it from the south, baby, hide it up north
Understand ya cant rule me and be my boss
Take it from the east and hide in the west
But when i get ya momma your canll see no rest
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, im screamin
Your southern can belongs to me
Now baby, ashes to ashes, sand to sand
When i hit ya momma then ya feel my hand
Give ya punch through that barbed wire fence
When i hit ya baby, ya know i make no sence
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, i know it
Your southern can belongs to me
Now look here woman, dont get hot
Im gettin me a brick outta my backyard
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, im takin about it
Your southern can belongs to me
Well if i catch you momma down in the heart of town
Im gonna grab me a brick and tear your can on down
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, i know it
Your southern can belongs to me
You maybe get bed sick, cause youre graveyard bound
Im gonna make you moan like a graveyard hound
So there aint no use in bringin no jive to me
Your southern can is mine, im screamin
Your southern can belongs to me

There aint nothing that I would not do for you
Cuz baby, tonight were gonna do what you wanna do
And however you need it

To get together for a while baby, if you like
Give you everything that youll ever need
Cuz baby you bring out the freak in me
I dont mind if you like
To get together by the candlelight tonight
Show you everything, you just wait and see
Cuz baby, you bring out the freak in me
Spend the night

Lose control, feel no shame
Im feeling you like youre feeling me

Some people will and say they wont
But my baby loves to rock
And my baby loves to roll
My baby loves to all night long
My baby loves to rock

The more I think the better it gets
More and more Im thinkin bout s-s-sex
The more I think the worse it gets
But my baby loves to rock
And my baby loves to roll

She loves to rock
But my baby loves to rock
And my baby loves to roll
My baby loves to all night long
My baby loves to rock
She loves to rock
She loves to rock
She loves to rock
In the morning, in the evening
In the summer, in the winter
In my car, in the night, in an airplane
Not in russia!
She loves to rock, she loves to rock
She loves to rock, she loves to rock
She loves to rock
More and more I been thinkin bout love
Love aint all I been thinkin of

A Poem For Myself
I was born in Mississippi;
I walked barefooted thru the mud.
Born black in Mississippi,
Walked barefooted thru the mud.
But, when I reached the age of twelve
I left that place for good.
My daddy chopped cotton
And he drank his liquor straight.
Said my daddy chopped cotton
And he drank his liquor straight.
When I left that Sunday morning
He was leaning on the barnyard gate.
Left my mama standing
With the sun shining in her eyes.
Left her standing in the yard
With the sun shining in her eyes.
And I headed North
As straight as the Wild Goose Flies,
I been to Detroit & Chicago
Been to New York city too.
I been to Detroit & Chicago
Been to New York city too.
Said I done strolled all those funky avenues
I'm still the same old black boy with the same old blues.
Going back to Mississippi
This time to stay for good
Going back to Mississippi
This time to stay for good-
Gonna be free in Mississippi
Or dead in the Mississippi mud.

Uptown, in penhouse number three
Uptown, there lives a doll just made for me
Shes the finest thing that youve ever seen, oh ho ha
Uptown, I see her most every day
Uptown, but she never ever looks my way
Im just a bellhop, you see I cant stop
And tell her what I wanna say
That one of these days, Im gonna have money
Shell wanna be my ever-lovin honey
It wont be long, just wait and see
Ill have a big car, fine clothes
And then Ill be
Uptown, in penthouse number three
Uptown, just my baby and me
Yeah, one of these days, Im gonna have money
Shell wanna be my ever-lovin honey
It wont be long, just wait and see
Ill have a big car, fine clothes
And then Ill be

Rock Me Gently
Aint it good, aint it right
That you are with me here tonight
The music playing
Our bodies swaying in time
(in time, in time, in time)
Touching you so warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine
Chorus
Rock me gently, rock my slowly
Take it easy, dont you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Baby baby!
Chorus
Oh my darling, of my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy
And on you face I see a trace of love
(of love, of love, of love)
Come hold me closer, dont let me go
I need you honey, I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above
Chorus
Baby baby!

Aint it good, aint it right
That you are with me here tonight
Repeat chorus twice

Rock Me
Oh baby you're young but that's okay
What's give or take nine years anyway
I'll bet you that cigarette
You won't regret my time
I want to be with a guy like you
So uncomplicated, so in tune
Just take off my dress
Let's mess with everybody's mind
I gotta tell you
Baby, baby, baby, if it's all right
Want you to rock me all night
Baby, baby, if it's all right
Want you to rock me all night
All night
Yeah rock me all night
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
I want to play Xbox on your floor
Say hi to your roommate who's next door
You don't have a dime, but I don't mind
Who gives a damn
Your record collection don't exist
You don't even know who Liz Phair is
Your potential with no credentials
Your mother taught you how to be a sensitive man1
I gotta tell you
Baby, baby, baby, if it's all right
Want you to rock me all night
Baby, baby, if it's all right
Want you to rock me all night
All night
Yeah rock me all night
Hey yeah yeah
I've been waitin'
All my life for
Hey yeah yeah
For this feelin'
Who'd 've guessed it could rock me all night
Rock me all night
You think I'm a genius
Think I'm cool
I'm starting to think that young guys rule
Oh God, let me save you
'll I might change you, and I might change my mind
Baby, baby, baby, if it's all right
Want you to rock me all night
Baby, baby, if it's all right
Want you to rock me all night

Its Your Baby, You Rock It
(words & music by shiri milete - nora fowler)
You offered me a penny for my thoughts
And I told you then that woman wont stay caught
But you turned and loved her anyway
She broke your heart and all Ive got to say
Its your baby, you rock it
Its your heartache, you bought it
You made the bed your sleeping in
And Im tired of hearing about it friend
Its your baby you, rock it
Well you cried upon my shoulder like a baby
Im sorry bout your troubles and your lady
But she done you like she done me
And Ive used up all my sympathy
Its your baby you, rock it
Its your baby, you rock it
Its your heartache, you bought it
You made the bed your sleeping in
And Im tired of hearing about it friend
Its your baby you, rock it

Baby, Im the greatest thing youve got
In a good way I suppose
Exactly where you are is where Im not
So from a lead balloon inside your room
Ill drop sparks
You can kick, you can cry, you can fuss
But lets rock
Baby, is there time for loves
So go and grab your brand new shoes
Ive taken care of everything
And when I cant cant you know Im tying knots
Baby, lets rock
Baby, Im the greatest thing youve got
My rings are to set the stone
But every single wish is still a lie
So in my time machine
Ill adjust the scenes
Turn back your clocks
You can bitch, you can cry, you can moan
But lets rock
Baby, theres no time for loves
So go and grab your brand new shoes
Ive taken care of everything
And when I cant you know I wont abuse
Baby, lets rock
Lets rock
Lets rock
Lets rock
Lets rock
I dream about you every night
And when I do youre holding me tight
Id love somebody like you in my life
In my life
Baby, Im the greatest thing youve got
In a good way I should hope
In a good way I suppose

Ive even gone and changed all the locks

Uptown Girl
Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her ti-i-ime
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mi-i-ind
She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
With an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class boys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fi-i-ine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mi-i-ine
She'll say I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm love
With an uptown girl

Thug Love
I need you; I feel the hurt
Trying to numb it, but it just don't work
I could take a sip, or I could take a hit
Pop a few pills, don't help a bit
Slam on the gas, ain't going nowhere
But in the end, nowhere's better than here
My baby, baby, baby
Though he's not here now
My baby, baby, baby
I bet you wonder how
I could say I'm tru, I'm magic, he's real
We'll get through, it's tragic, we'll heal
I knew one day he'd get down, he'd kneel
And then he'd tell me the way he feel
But even before, there was a connection
God sent us in the same direction
My baby, baby, baby
Got the heart of the biggest lion
My baby, baby, baby
Biggest problem he never lying
Three and a half, three and a half
Please tell me your talking bout months
Three and a half, three and a half
Shit, that's just tough
Countin down the days,2 hundo to go
And when I get to one, baby only you know

Uptown Down-home Good Ol Boy
Hell never wear a business suit
Cowboy hats and bull hide boots just suit him fine
See that buckle shine
He won it in a rodeo
On a horse named desperado
And he won the ride but he broke his back
Hit so hard he heard it crack
No more rodeo
But you cant keep a good man down
A line of western wear uptown heard of his fame
And they bought his name
Now he looks down from a suite
At the silver limo parked out on the street
And hes not just a face in a martini crowd
He drinks long neck bud and gets a little loud
The mans back on his feet
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
In a business world so fast
On a horse of a different color
But hell hang on til the last
Hes still the local hero
Hes the hometown pride and joy
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
A woman loved him through it all mbr> through his rowdy days and his hardest fall when he almost died
She stayed by his side
Shes still right there today
He wouldnt have it any other way
And he never did get too proud
To hang out with the same old crowd
Were proud to say
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
In a business world so fast
Oh but its a different saddle
Than he once rode in the past
Hes the hometown pride and joy
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy
Hes an uptown down-home good ol boy

Baby... Believe Me
Baby,
Believe me i loved you more than ever
We were perfect together
I thought we were forever
But baby all we are now is over
Oh baby baby i needed you
You were my other half
And i was yours too
But not anymore baby
She's your other half now
She loves you like i loved you
You love her, like you use to love me
Baby, she stole you from me
She told you you're her baby's daddy
And now baby your a daddy to twins
Baby, i guess she wins
But believe me baby
When i say, i loved you more than she ever will

Rock 'n' Roll
Break out the whiskey
And a bottle of wine
Take your shirt off bitch
And chop me out a line
Dim the lights down low
Turn up the stereo
Don't say a word
I already know
You've never done this before
But you felt like tryin
I've done this plenty of times
And I know your lyin
You know I know
You want a shot
So I will take aim
Don't even ask me
If I know your name
Don't look so shocked
Do not be confused
I just wanna shoot your soul
Full of rhythm and blues
Them boys been sellin you lines
But you aint been buyin
But what I'm given is free
So its well worth tryin
Because I know you like to rock-n-roll
You like to rock-n-roll
Ill rock you baby all night long
Then I gots to roll
There's no one here left
We can blame
It's a lonely walk of shame
I know
We gonna rock-n-roll
Can you feel that
Can you feel that
Used to like to disco
Now you wanna rock-n-roll
Bus is leavin baby
Were pullin out
Them Austin Dallas Houston girls
Are callin us out
Girl dry them eyes
I'm not good at goodbyes
Tell all your friends
I'm that type of guy
That'll bring out the women
That you've been hidin
Its human nature to be
What we've all been denyin
Baby don't sell tickets
To a player that already playin
Just be who you are
But understand what I'm sayin
Everybody likes to rock-n-roll
They like to rock-n-roll
Rock-n-roll
They like to rock-n-roll
Love me baby all night long
