Hard Time Losin' Man

Hard Time Losin' Man
Written by - Jim Croce
From - You Don't Mess Around With Jim
Chorus:
And you think you've seen trouble
Well you're lookin' at the man ah ha
Oh, the world's own original hard luck story
And a hard time losin' man
Oh, sometimes skies are cloudy
And sometimes skies are blue
And sometimes they say that you eat the bear
But sometimes the bear eats you
And sometimes I feel like I should go
Far far away and hide
'Cause I keep a waitin' for my ship to come in
And all that ever comes is the tide
Chorus
Oh I saved up all my money
I gonna buy me a flashy car
So I go downtown to see the man
And he smokin' on a big cigar
Well he must'a thought I were Rockefeller
Or an uptown man of wealth
He said "Boy I got the car that's made for you
And it's cleaner than the Board of Health"
Then I got on the highway...oh, I feelin' fine...I hit a bump
Then I found I bought a car held together
By wire, and a couple a' hunks of twine
Chorus
Oh, Friday night, feelin' right
I head out on the street
Standin' in the doorway
Was a dealer known as Pete
Well he sold me a dime of some super fine
Dynamite from Mexico
I spent all that night
Just tryin' to get right
On an ounce of Oregano
Chorus (4 x's)

Don't Let Her Get Away

There's nothin' like the feelin'

Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you.

Wear Out The Turnpike
Written by - Jim Croce & Ingrid Croce
There's ice and snow on the northern roads
And the Jersey Pike is closed
Have to go and do some drivin' tonight
They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads
But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight
Chorus:
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
Rack up those miles
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
I'm up in Maine
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home again
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doodle doo doo doo
There's a red light turnin' behind me
There's a trooper on my tail
I can tell I won't get to New York town on time
If he decides to pull me over
And if he get's me on the scale
I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine
Chorus
With the snow against my windshield
I will run on through the night
There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road
Cause the turnpike's like my second home
And I know it like my hand
So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home again

Don't Tell Me
You held my hand and walked me home
I know
While you gave me that kiss
It was something like this
It made me go: "oh, oh"
You wiped my tears
Got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go
Guess it wasn't enough
To take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
(Pre-chorus)
Did I not tell you that I'm
Not like that girl the one who
Gives it all away, yeah
(Chorus)
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you
This time
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do
And cry
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah
Don't think that your charm
And the fact that your arm
Is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants
I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
Thought I liked you a lot
But I'm really upset (I'm really upset)
So get out of my head
Get off of my bed, yeah that's what I said
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
This guilt trip that you put me on won't
Mess me up I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone
Away, way, yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm better off alone anyway

You Said...
1. You said I was beauty in your eyes,
Like a diamond sparklin' on a ring.
You also said that I was like a flower,
Growin' tall and pretty in the spring.
You said my eyes were ocean blue,
And that they were as gorgeous as the sky.
You mentioned that my heart was full of many colors,
I hate to say these words, but, 'Good-bye.'
(Chorus)
Why, oh, why do you have to leave?
Can't you stay a longer time?
Why, oh, why do you have to go right now?
You're priceless, but yet more than a dime.
Why, oh, why do I have to let you go?
Can't we stay together forever?
Why, oh, why do you have to go away?
My heart is broken forever and ever.
2. You said I was the only girl in your life.
I thought you were tellin' the truth 'cause I trusted you.
But when I saw you with that other girl,
I asked myself, 'What am I gonna do? '
Then I knew the answer was I'd live my own life.
I don't know how to do it, but it's true.
With you, I was always feelin' happy,
But since you've left, I'm now feelin' blue.
(Chorus)
3. Now I'm all alone and don't know what to do.
Maybe I'll go out with some friends.
Somethin' just doesn't seem right,
Seein' as how, it's all gonna end.
Bein' with you was only the beginning,
You made me happy, but now, I'm mad.
Don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine.
But you can worry 'bout yourself,
'Cause you're in trouble with my dad.
(Chorus) x 2
(second part of chorus)
Yeah, my heart is broken forever, and ever!

Walkin' Back To Georgia
Written by - Jim Croce
From - You Don't Mess Around With Jim
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back
Chorus:
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around
I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
She's the only one who knows
How it feels when you lose a dream
And how it feels when you dream alone
Chorus
Georgia can you hear me callin'
Oh I'll be home in just a while
And if I had to I'd be crawlin'
Just to share another mornin' smile
But you're the girl who said you loved me
On that hot dusty long ago
And if you're still around
I'm gonna settle down
With you my hard lovin' Georgia girl...because
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back

Infinity
Standin' on a trap door, there's a hole in the ground.
Underneath the door there's a hole and it goes to infinity.
Standin' on a dark street, there's a light in the sky.
Followin' the light through the night as it goes to infinity.
How can I avoid infinity? How have I annoyed infinity?
I'm movin' slow in infinity. I even glow in infinity.
Chorus:
It's hard being' small, (hard bein' small)
Shrinkin' into space, (shrinkin' into space)
The world is just a ball, (world is just a ball)
It was my fav'rite place (it was my fav'rite place)
Lookin' for the blue skies, watchin' for the sunrise.
One thing you can bet, you won't see it set in infinity.
Gonna take a light beam, on the wings of the Jet Stream.
Gonna take my place in the infinite space of infinity.
How can I be friends with infinity? Can I make ammends with infinity?
How can I complain to infinity? What'll I explain to infinity?
(Chorus)
Give me just a time shield before the world has it's fate sealed.
Protect me for a while before they turn my dial to infinity.
I hope I can contribute, oh, but I don't want a tribute.
Hypocrites will come and say somethin' really dumb in infinity.
I can't hear you sing in infinity. I can't change a thing in infinity.
The absence of light in infinity gives me a fright in infinity.

Hard Enough Getting Over You
For the first time, in such a long time
Ive been feelin theres some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since
You broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin
Its really gonna be alright
Now youre askin me to let
You walk back into my life
Something I cant bring myself to do
Chorus:
cause its been hard enough gettin over you
You kept me holdin on till the end
Oh its been hard enough getting over you
I dont think that I could say goodbye again
I could trust you, but its out of my hands
I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart wont take the chance
That all the pain Ive left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you
Who walked right out of my life
No you dont know what Ive been through
Chorus
I made a promise to myself
And this one Im not gonna break
Ive made it without you
And Im not about to
Turn around and make the same mistake
Chorus
cause its been hard enough gettin over you
You kept me holdin on till the end
Oh, its been hard enough gettin over you
I dont think that I could say goodbye
I dont think I could say goodbye
I know that I cant say goodbye again

Hard To Tell
Ive had enough, Im tired of waiting
The time has come to pass
Why do you do what you do to me

Why do you go if you wanna stay
How will I know what you mean to say
Undoubtedly Im all over you

Its not that easy baby
Its not that hard to tell

Life is hell but Im doing fine.

The odds are it wont last
Why do you do what you do to me
When will I hear what I wanna hear
Been so long anticipating
You put me to the test
Why wont you say what you wanna say
How will I know if you mean to stay
Undeniably Im all over you

Gotta shed a little light on me tonight
