Well you’re sitting at the table
Feeling kinda down,
Reaching for the bottle, Lawd
There ain’t no one around.
Call me up, that’s what you do
Call me up.
You ain’t got to drink alone,
Just pick up the phone
Call me up. (That’s right)
Well you need to get some groceries,
Need a ride to the store.
Looking out the window,
You ain’t got no way to go.
Call me up, if you need a ride
Call me up.
You ain’t got to walk no more,
Hey, I’ll take you to the store.
Call me up.
Well I see you gots children,
And they’re looking mighty fine.
Must be hard without a man there by your side.
You wanna call me up,
Come on now, when your children need a daddy.
Call me up.
You ain’t got to be alone,
You and me can make a home.
Just call me up. (That’s right, that’s right!)
Well I seen you at the club,
And you was looking good.
Baby, if you was wonderin’
Heeyyy, you know I would.
Just call me up, that’s right, (come on girl)
You aint got to be alone,
You can take me home.
Now call me up.
Get the phone out now, I know you got some minutes.
That’s right…I’m gonna give you my digits. Come on girl…call me up…
You ain’t got to be alone. You can take me home…call me up…

I’m in a bad mood, baby.
Lord knows what I might do.
I’m in a bad mood, baby
Lord knows what I might do.
When I get this way, girl,
Don’t need nothing off of you…no bad stuff.
I told you I had business;
Won’t take me long.
Said, “Crank up your truck and get your sorry self back home.”
I’m in a bad mood, baby.
Lord knows what I might do.
And when I get this way girl,
Ain’t gonna take nothing off of you…that’s what I’m talking about.
Snuck in the back door
I thought you was in bed.
You came creeping across the floor
Done hit me ‘cross the head.
Now I’m in a real bad mood, baby.
Aw, Lord, what I might do.
And when I get up off the floor
I ain’t taking no more off of you.
(I’m telling you right now, here it comes, this is it—hit it!)
You said get yourself together
That’s the way its gonna be.
Put that skillet upside my head
And done knocked some sense right into me.
Now I’m in a good mood, baby.
Aw there aint nothing, nothing I won’t do.
I’m gonna get myself together
Cant’ take no more bad moods outta you.
--spoken--
(Aw, Lord,..I’m so sorry baby.
I don’t know why I acted that way
Can I take out the trash?
Maybe I need to do some stuff around the house.
Are you hungry? You want to go somewhere?
Im gonna make it good….)

Layin' in the Bed
02:07
|

My daddy told me boy
Don’t you let me down.
Don’t be staying out drinking
Don’t be running around.
Better get yourself ready
I got work for you to do.
And you ain’t doing nothing til your work day’s through.
All day long (laying in the bed)
All day long (laying in the bed)
Boy, there gotta be something wrong in your head
When you ain’t doing nothing if you’re laying in the bed.
Momma said, boy, you gotta get yourself a wife.
If you don’t quit drinking
You will never have a life.
Better get yourself in church,
Gotta do it right now.
“Ma, they do it on Sunday,
That’s my day to lay around!”
All day long (laying in the bed)
All day long (laying in the bed)
Boy, there gotta be something wrong in your head
Cuz you can’t have a life if you’re layin’ in the bed.
Well I got myself sober, got a wife, got a job.
I’m hating my life and my boss man Bob.
Hope they lock my ass up and throw away the key.
The only way I’m getting rest is if the police take me.
All day long (laying in the bed)
All day long (laying in the bed)
There must be something wrong in my head
Cuz I can’t get my ass up out the damn bed!
All day long (laying in the bed)
All day long (laying in the bed)
(repeat)
Can’t get up when I’m laying the bed
All day long (laying in the bed)
All day long (laying in the bed)
There gotta be something wrong in my head
Cuz I can’t seem to get myself outta the bed
All day long (laying in the bed)

Over You
02:48
|
|||
|
I spent four long years
Trying to make you mine.
Spent all my money
Nearly all my time.
I treat you like a queen,
Treated you so fine.
All you done for me is drive me outta my mind.
But it’s true,
Before this night is through,
I’m getting over you.
Oh girl, it’s true
Before the night is through I’m getting over you.
I’m gonna go downtown
And find a rowdy spot
Where the drinks are cold
And the womens are hot.
I got plenty of friends
To get in a drunken fight
I’m gonna get myself a something without you tonight.
And it’s true, before this night is through
I’m getting over you.
Oh girl, it’s true
Before the night is through…I’m getting over you.
(But first I’m gonna play guitar!)
We’re gonna have a celebration
For all the old times.
My friends are gonna party
Like it’s 1959.
Don’t be callin’ no more,
I ain’t a gonna pick up.
I found a fine little thing
To help me change my luck.
I got everything I need to get myself over you.
I’m gonna drink and dance and sing, no telling what I will do.
And it’s true, before this night is thru,
I’m gonna be over you.
I said it true, before the night is through,
I’ll be over you.
Girl, you know that it’s true,
Before the night it through,
I’m gonna be over you.
(That’s what I said.)…

I Saw the Light
04:56
|

|
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Saviour in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
I saw the light I saw the light
no more darkness no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
I saw the light I saw the light
no more darkness no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gait and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
I saw the light I saw the light
no more darkness no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
