  • 1. She's Gotta Have A Crazy Problem
  • She's Gotta Have A Crazy Problem

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    She’s gotta have a crazy problem
    To be alone every Friday night
    Cause she’s just too damn fine lookin’
    Something just ain’t right
    Well she’s hot, tall, long & lean
    something be wrong with her machine
    She’s gotta have a crazy problem 3x
    Something’s wrong, move along

    Guys we aint too fussy
    When it comes to lovin’ time
    well, if a body’s made for lovin’
    we’ve been known to overlook the mind
    she’s got tight jeans, tight top too
    she really gonna mess with you
    She’s gotta have a crazy problem 3x
    Something’s wrong, move along

    Well, when she starts to talkin’ lovin’
    The words just fall outta her mouth
    the kinda things she’s gonna do
    you’ve only dreamt about
    well she’s bad mean, raunchy mad
    worst best time you’ve ever had
    She’s gotta have a crazy problem 3x
    Something’s wrong, move along

  • 2. Do You Got Love
  • Do You Got Love

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    You say “it’s been grand darling,"
    But we ain’t gonna make it to the finish line
    I say, I understand darling
    But not to put on it a point too fine

    Do you got love
    Don’t Lie to me
    Do you got love
    Waiting in the wings for you

    Came to me, when you were down & out
    Hard to be a stranger in town
    Now I’m starting to figure out
    I can only guess what it’s all about

    You say some space would do us good
    but good ain’t what you’re giving me
    you ain’t treating me like you should
    why you gotta put the big hurt on me

  • 3. I'm A Survivor
  • I'm A Survivor

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    Nicole sleeps in vacant buildings.
    Sells her body to buy heroin,
    Living from trick to trick
    High from fix to fix
    She kids herself;

    I’m a survivor
    I’m a survivor
    The street ain’t gonna claim her
    The streets ain’t gonna take me down
    The streets ain’t gonna take me down

    Cat & mouse with the cops
    Leaning into every car that stops
    Too stoned to feel the cold
    Looking cheap & getting old
    She kids herself;

    Just a matter of time
    Needle or being 35
    Bad luck and a bad guy
    She just ran out of time
    She kids herself

  • 4. Hats
  • Hats

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    Lately, I’ve been thinkin’
    Bout this great spot in my life
    Is this the beginning?
    Of my long walk into night
    It’s one thing or another
    Bones or surgery
    I wanna live forever
    Hey! Still a kid inside of me

    Gonna need a hat to feel real special
    Gonna need a hat to look real cool
    Gonna need a hat to keep your baby
    Hangin’ around you
    Gonna need a hat to hide your secrets
    Gonna need a hat to have some fun
    Gonna need a hat to get somebody
    A hat to be someone

    Getting hard to stay skinny
    And my hair does what it wants
    The whole damn things a nuisance
    I’m gonna move to France
    Turn up my guitar
    Play it one more time
    Hear that tremolo singin’
    Iisten to it chime

    Now a hat something special
    A little hard to pull off
    Once you leave the house
    The sucker has to stay on
    Be it fashionista or
    A follicle strategy
    A hat’s gonna make a statement
    For the whole world to see

    Man, she starts to comes alive…oh,oh,oh
    My baby is the one I love
    Forget the dirt you’re thinking of

    Just because my baby’s gone
    Visiting her ma & pa
    Don’t mean I gotta go wrong
    I Got all I need
    To keep me company
    I got my guitars
    To keep me warm

    Now you know my secret
    Now you know I’ve been bit…oh,oh,oh

    Fred & Lester by my side…oh,oh,oh

    Plays a Gretsch and Gibson too

  • 6. Summer Of Our Discontent
  • Summer Of Our Discontent

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    This is the summer of our discontent
    Money’s gone, it’s all been spent
    If ya want me honey, I’ll be on the porch
    Giving out portions of “what the hell for”

    They’re cutting back my hours, and my wages too
    Don’t wanna sell the house, but we might have to
    It’s getting’ harder just to make do
    Gotta get better, better soon

    My friends they all wonder why, how it got so bad
    We weren’t living no high life, we weren’t money mad
    My friends, they ain’t hurt no one, did like their folks did
    Work hard, don’t complain, later enjoy the grandkids

    I hear the glory, glory halleleujah,
    Here’s hoping johnny comes marching home to ya
    Young man fightin’ in an old man’s war
    Poor man dyin’ for a rich man’s oil

    Got a man in the White House, that I finally like
    Here’s hopin’ that man gonna set it right
    A lot of heavy liftin’ and things are tight
    We’re coming out of a long dark night

    Sunday morning brings a gentle rain
    Wash away all our tears & pain
    Maybe things get good again
    We can only hope so, my friend

    I wanna live in a better place
    One that don’t hurt me everyday
    Let the children sing, let the children play
    Blue skies, sunshine everyday

  • 7. Give it Back (God's Song)
  • Give it Back (God's Song)

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    I gave you lotsa lovin’
    And the birds & bees too
    And lots of fun positions
    For you to get into
    But you threw it all away
    You messed it up real good
    What the hell ya doin’
    Jammin’ the big guy’s neighborhood

    Give it back, give it back
    You bloody-minded fools
    Give it back, give it back
    You really are confused
    Give it back, give it back
    What the hell you gone and do
    Give it back, give it back

    You take my name at
    The drop of a hat
    To kill everybody
    That at you’re mad at
    Ain’t no end in sight
    To the meanness of your souls
    All this dumbass killing
    Is really getting old

    I’ve done all I can
    To help all you along
    But I’m getting kinda tired
    Watching you get it all wrong
    Heaven’s pretty cool
    But here’s an ugly truth
    Don’t count on going skyward
    If I gotta hang with you

  • 8. Hold Me When the World Goes Different
  • 9. It All Comes Down To You
  • It All Comes Down To You

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    I can’t help the way I feel about you
    I can’t help the way I feel about you
    Well, I can’t see my life
    Existing without you
    Day or night
    I only want you
    It all comes down to you 3x

    I useta think that I was destined to be alone
    I useta think that I was destined to be alone
    Always on my own
    No one else at home
    Kinda liked being alone
    Gonna change it all for you
    It all comes down to you 3x

    It will be a lifetime baby of me wanting you
    It will be a lifetime baby of me wanting you
    Well, I can’t hold on
    If you are gone
    With me you belong
    I only want you

  • 10. It's Too Late
  • It's Too Late

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    I ain’t smart enough to know when the quittin’s good
    I should pack it in, yeah, I know I should
    C’mon let it go, it’s just a damn piece of wood
    But like the junkie likes sweet fire in his veins
    Over & over again, text book insane

    They’re ain’t nothin’ that I ain’t compromised for you
    Money, time, a normal life, you know it’s true
    I have brought home all kinds of strays for you
    But you have gotten under my skin
    Without you baby, there ain’t no living

    It’s too late, I don’t know how to live without ya
    It’s too late, everything comes right back to ya
    It’s too late, when I weigh it in the balance
    It’s too late for me to leave this dance
    I don’t see it happening anyway

    A man ain’t nothin’, if he ain’t big enough to dream
    Let it all hang out, crazy as it seems
    I didn’t come this far to pack up, quit and leave
    No matter how you keep put me down, it just ain’t right
    I ain’t going quietly, quietly into night

  • 11. (Nothing You Say Is) More Than Words
  • (Nothing You Say Is) More Than Words

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    Such an expert on everything
    You’d fix it all, if you were king
    You wouldn’t do this & you wouldn’t do that
    You ain’t got a clue just where it’s at

    There just words, they don’t mean a thing
    There just words, without meaning
    There just words, nothing you say’s
    More than words

    You got opinions all the time
    Lots of shit on your mind
    Talking trash any time
    Even worse when mixed with wine

    You can talk about anything
    And never mean one damn thing
    And your words they will never ring
    Of real life or real living

  • 12. Rock'n'Roll Will Take You In
  • Rock'n'Roll Will Take You In

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    Hi-tops, tattoos
    Blue jeans, scuffed boots
    Rock’n’roll will take you in
    Plaid shirts, glam rock
    Bad hair, dyed locks,
    Rock’n’roll will take you in

    And Rock’n’roll will take you in
    Treat you like a long lost friend
    And rock’nroll won’t judge you
    If your heart is true

    Rockers, Poets,
    Guitarists, all know its
    Rock’n’roll will take you in
    Poor kids, rich kids
    Old kids, on the skids
    Rock’n’roll will take you in

    Dreamers, lost cause
    Schemers, at any cost
    Rock’n’roll will take you in
    Lost souls, all alone
    Insides on the outside
    Rock’n’roll will take you in

    Hurt & crazy, give it up
    All hazy
    Can’t see tomorrow from today
    Tired, frustrated, what I’d do
    Just for a break
    Why won’t someone just show me the way

  • 13. I Ain't That Guy
  • I Ain't That Guy

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    I ain’t that guy
    Never breaks a sweat
    I ain’t that guy
    What he wants he gets
    I ain’t that guy
    Who wins every bet
    I ain’t that guy
    I guess I ain’t that smart

    I ain’t that guy
    Who wins everytime
    I ain’t that guy
    Who never has to try
    I ain’t that guy
    Money never runs dry
    I ain’t that guy
    I guess I ain’t that smart

    But I am that guy
    That loves you the most
    I am that guy
    who’ll make your toast
    I am that guy
    who’ll make your coffee hot
    if ya need a little more
    you’ll get the very last drop

    I ain’t that guy
    Gonna lie to you
    I ain’t that guy
    Break your heart in two
    I am that guy
    Got lucky with you
    I am that guy
    I guess I am that smart

  • 14. God Doesn't Want Me To Get High No More
  • God Doesn't Want Me To Get High No More

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    God doesn’t want me to get high no more
    God doesn’t want me to get high no more
    he makes body get twisted, ruins my sleep
    He hurts me in places too damn deep
    God doesn’t want me to get high no more

    I used to be wild and cut it up real loose
    Find a midnight party train and hitch up my caboose
    God’s tellin’ me I can’t be that guy
    4:00 a.m gettin’ high
    God doesn’t want me to get high no more

    I used to a regular enemy of the state
    Just to get a buzz on, I’d be at some funky place
    Well the party’s over, the bills are due
    Get high on life, it’s all that I can do
    God doesn’t want me to get high no more

  • 15. Something I Gotta Say
  • Something I Gotta Say

    From 4 Chords & The Truth

    4 Chords & The Truth album cover

    Rarely do words fail me
    Never at a loss, you see
    Lots of things on my mind
    The words flow easily
    But it’s been a real, real long time
    That you & I been one
    And I guess kinda dropped the ball
    Things I left unsaid, undone

    You just thrill me everyday
    You get finer everyday
    It’s just something
    Something, I gotta say

    We met when we were pretty
    Years ago, maybe 25
    From where I’m standing darlin’
    You still don’t have to try
    You’re keeping it all together
    Better than it ever was
    I can’t help the way I feel
    I guess I’m still in love

    Real life can get intrusive
    It can pull in so many ways
    Day jobs and the kids we love
    Sometimes, I just forget to say
    The thoughts & words on my mind
    At the beginning & end of each day
    In the morning when I first see you
    It’s like that very first day

    13 Years of Friday Nights album cover

    I don’t go where most folks go
    Been down so long, I’m livin’ low
    When I need my things, Only place I know
    Got my Smokes, beer and Fritos
    ain't no bargains, oh lord, it's true
    Guess I got them 2x
    Convenience store blues

    Lit up bright 24/7 too
    Real buzz killer, you know it’s true
    Not much really good for you
    Ain’t much that could pass for food
    Ain’t no bargains, oh lord, it’s true
    Guess I got them
    Convenience store blues

    My whole family shops here too
    M&M’s and cold beer too       
    Auto Mags and generic smokes
    All junk food and surly folks
    Ain’t no bargains, oh lord, it’s true
    Guess I got them 2x
    Convenience store blues

    From 13 Years of Friday Nights

    13 Years of Friday Nights album cover

    Everybody says it’s ok
    Everybody says it’s alright
    Everybody else is doing it
    Ain’t no reason to get uptight
    What’s so bad about a quick one
    Just a little grown-up fun

    Chorus 
    It’s a sad state of affairs
    When you hurt the one you love
    It’s a sad state of affairs
    When you lie to the one
    Break the one you love 

    It’s easy now to justify
    The things you do, the little white lie
    Curiosity mixed with pride
    C’mon now, compartmentalize
    Now  it’s finally skin on skin
    You’re on the slippery slope of sin 

    It’s not like an cool French movie
    Cigarettes and afternoons
    Rendezvous of stolen moments
    Curtains drawn in strange bedrooms
    In real life, there’s real bad news
    Someone’s trusting heart’s abused

    From Roadhouse Hullabaloo

    Roadhouse Hullabaloo album cover I get up in the morning and I go downtown
    Do my job and I don't bring down
    Nose to the grindstone till I get back home
    Doing what I have to do
    I tell my boy go to school
    Sure to follow Jah's golden rule
    Don't be no punk-ass stupid fool
    And you'll get what's coming to you
    This they swear is true
    Broken promises
    Broken promises
    Broken promises
    Lies they tell to keep ya you down
    Now my wife, she work all day
    Work real hard for not much pay
    But money for a home we try to save
    Hoping that the dream is true
    Now it's all becoming clear
    Rich man's words are insincere
    Just to keep me working for a little beer
    All my struggles in vain
    He don't even know my name
    Maybe not now, maybe next year
    Riots in the street everywhere
    People gonna die for a piece of nowhere
    What a wasted life it's been
    Oh what a horrible sin
    Just like the Native American
    promises made to be broken
    Everything promised, didn't mean a thing
    When the money comes into view
    This I swear is true

  • Cross That Line

    From Roadhouse Hullabaloo

    Roadhouse Hullabaloo album cover

    When the honesty's gone
    There’s no going back (2x)
    When the honesty's gone
    Like a train leaped the track
    It's a mess all around and there ain’t to get back
    When you cross that line
    During a drunken time
    When you cross that line
    You're gonna blame the wine
    When you cross that line
    You must have lost your mind
    When you cross that line there just ain't no turning back
    Now you messed up your life
    And your woman's too
    Really messed up your life
    Messed up your woman's too
    Really messed up your life
    Now she don't want you
    Traded one night of stupid for a lifetime of loneliness

    don't be sad
    you're living the good life
    don't be sad
    got yourself a good wife
    don't be mad
    you got everything
    just be glad
    you can buy anything
    and you got the good life 3x
    why is it
    your eyes are starting to look around

    can't you see
    life is tough
    chorus
    can't you see
    you're living the good life
    why ain't you lovin' the good life
    life's a dream
    a sometime thing
    living it seems
    can make you lose your mind
    your mind is wanderin'
    can't focus at all
    your time is going
    can't you see
    you're living the good life
    how come you worried if you are living the good life
    bridge: bm c-g ñd
    you got all the money
    that you'll ever need
    but all that money
    just can't set you free
    well you got new cars
    and imports are next
    but everynight
    you go to sleep vexed
