On the County Line of San Joaquin
Those yellow hills far as I can see
Going to see my love, she don’t wanna see me
On the county line of San Joaquin
On the County Line of San Joaquin
Those yellow hills far as I can see
Going to see my love, she don’t wanna see me
On the county line of San Joaquin
But those big white mills are spinning wind
and those power lines there stretching thin
and I've been driving for 3 damn days
300 more miles and she'll be pushin’ me away
On the County Line of San Joaquin
Those yellow hills far as I can see
Going to see my love, she don’t wanna see me
On the county line of San Joaquin
Pulling into Modesto, tank is feelin’ low
Been running on empty as far as I can go
I'm in Modesto, on the side of the road
Just a man and a gas can and I'm mighty alone
Oh tell me what was i thinking bout,
What I was doin'
She was loud and clear, but I refused to clue in
And tell me what was I thinking bout
Where I was goin'
Should've stayed home but I'm
On the County Line of San Joaquin
Those yellow hills far as I can see
Going to see my love, she don’t wanna see me
On the county line of San Joaquin
On the County Line of San Joaquin
Those yellow hills far as I can see
Going to see my love, she don’t wanna see me
On the county line of San Joaquin

Fall In Love Again
03:38
|

Drowning at the bar stool there's a seat on either side
When a long cool shadow pulls up beside
Says die now alone or go and take a bride
So I order up a whiskey and for Death a champagne
Tell him meet me here in a year unless I fall in love again
Well I been drooling on new pillows now, couple weeks or more
And that bright red sun is shining, I can't ignore
Those deep blue eyes showing me the door, they say
In your sleep you've been singing that refrain
And I'm sorry, I just can't fall in love again
And I know the sound of one hand clapping
The silence of that empty moan
And it's lonelier than being alone
The sheets are warm, but your heart is cold like a stone
Won't be today, won't be tomorrow
I reek of all the shame and sorrow that a man could ever borrow
I try to sing a happy song, but it sounds like pain
I won't write another song, unless I fall in love again
No I won't write another song, unless I fall in love again.

The Other Side
04:12

Well I got to get away to the other side of the meadow
Lady's waiting there on the other side of that pond
She’s the most woman I've ever seen
Her hair is blonde and her eyes are green
As the grass that stands in between me and my queen
Well I got to hop the swam and you know that I would swim it
When you turn up in there, she never lets you in it
A little log cabin where the magic things happen
You come with a plan you don't understand
How you leave without an arm and a leg and a hand
Well I know I wanna go, but you're on the other side
If I give you enough well I know you'll stroke my pride
I lost every penny, but you're always worth the ride
I always wanna go, you're always on the other side
Well I got across the pond but I got no canoe
I'll pawn my gold tooth just to afford you
Oh Blanchette, I won’t regret losing it all, drownin’ in debt
But this night ain't quite over yet, so let's duet
I know I wanna go, but you're on the other side
If I give you enough I know you'll stroke my pride
I lost every penny, but you're always worth the ride
I always wanna go, you're always on the other side
On the other side of that lake
Where the walls will tremble and they'll shake
On the other side of that bog
I'm alone and I'm howling out like a dog
I'm on the other side.

Last Time
05:47
|

I haven't sang a song since the last time I sang for you
When you play too much or not enough, instruments go out of tune
Since last time the moon's been white, but I'm telling you tonight it's turning blue
Lately it's old and tired, but we could make the morning new
And you're the song I need to sing
You got the music I need to bring to the world under your skin
And this could be the last time, this could be the last time
Oh this could be the last time, this could be the last time
I haven't sang a song since the last time I sang for you
I tried to find that melody but I didn't have a clue
When I sat down at the 88, I didn't know what to do
Well I tried to plunk the ivories but my fingers pressed right through
And this could be the last time, this could be the last time
Oh this could be the last time, this could be the last time
And this could be the last time, this could be the last time
Oh this could be the last time, this could be the last time
So play my body like it's piano
and I'll strum your hair, like it's strings
we'll get lost in that midnight song
and we'll see what the evening brings
Oh play my body like it's a piano
And this could be the last time, this could be the last time
Oh this could be the last time, this could be the last time
Oh this could be the last time, this could be the last time
And this could be the last time, this could be the last time
I haven't sang a song since the last time.

Old Boyfriend

Old boyfriend I see you outside crying in the rain
Old boyfriend I don't wanna have to tell you again
Old boyfriend you're stuck in the past
Old boyfriend not every good thing lasts
Old boyfriend please go away
Old boyfriend come back another day (don't come back, don't come back)
Old boyfriend get off of my lawn
Old boyfriend it's time to move on
Old boyfriend it's too late to knock on my door
Old boyfriend I don't want to see you no more
Old boyfriend don't send that blood stained letter
Old boyfriend by this age you should know better
Old boyfriend please go away
Old boyfriend come back another day
Old boyfriend get off of my lawn
Old boyfriend it's time to move on
I know you lie awake at night, weeping like a child
Suffering that pain that makes them good hearts turn wild
Old boyfriend listen to me
Let go, be free
Old boyfriend you still got a lot to say
Old boyfriend my change of heart has led you astray
Old boyfriend I feel the pain burning up your chest
Old boyfriend it's over but I still wish you the best
Old boyfriend I hate to see you cry
Old boyfriend it's time to say good-bye
Old boyfriend good bye
Good bye, good bye

Mona Lisa
06:18

Too much of a good thing, not enough of the real thing
Still I'm unwilling to go out and face the morning
Well that suffering song you sing is fit for a king
For me it does nothing but sting
But all's well that ends well from such a weathered old mademoiselle
That cold and primrose smell, Ringing out like a bell
It's a pity that she fell for a lover's spell from hell
Her stories hung to dry for a time to tell, Well,
Mona Lisa see the way you're dancing in the streets
I'm the light and you're the dark, we're both alone
Well I never knew the color of your shadow
When you were singing in the shower
The Porcelain was echoing the refrain
And your blues were so much brighter down the drain
She says come what may she knows she's seen better days
She whispers with bated breath of the comforts of the jaws of death
But I swear I saw her crying with a dying dandelion
The whole room was laughing, she was sighing
Mona Lisa see the way you're dancing in the streets
I'm the light and you're the dark we're both alone
Well I never knew the color of your shadow
Till you were singin’ in the shower
Porcelain was echoing the refrain
And your blues were so much brighter down the drain

It was a cool island night
We were looking for a fright
Shivering with delight
Horrified by the sight
Of that cool island night
looking for a fright
on that cool island night
I was hangin' at the luau
I was hangin' at the luau
I was hangin' at the luau
when the ghost said boo, Ow!
I was hangin' at the luau
I was hangin' at the luau
when the ghost said boo, Ow!
It was a cool island night
We were looking for a fright
Shivering with delight
Horrified by the sight
Of that cool island night
looking for a fright
on that cool island night
I was splashin’ in the water
We were sippin' pina colada
After we drank a lotta
We swam into Dracu-lala
Sippin' pina colada
Splashin' in the water
We swam into Dracu-lala
It was a cool island night
We were looking for a fright
Shivering with delight
Horrified by the sight
Of that cool island night
looking for a fright
on that cool island night
That mummy was ridin' a wave
Frankenstein diggin’ a grave
Werewolf needed a shave
we were hangin' with Dave
Werewolf needed a shave
Frankenstein diggin' a grave
We were hangin' with Dave
It was a cool island night
We were looking for a fright
Shivering with delight
Horrified by the sight
Of that cool island night
looking for a fright
on that cool island night
I was hangin' at the luau
I was hangin' at the luau
I was hangin' at the luau
when the ghost said boo, Ow!
I was hangin' at the luau
I was hangin' at the luau
when the ghost said boo, Ow!
