County Line 05:46
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

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.

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 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!
