COMING IN HOT
Flying back from the festival in Amsterdam laying over in JFK
killing time in the terminal I’m getting so close
but still so far away
now i’m up in the sky on a jet airliner high over Tennessee
gotta get myself back to the lone star state
where my baby’s waiting for me
Running on fumes, I got a low supply
but I’m gonna give it all I got,
Hope you’re ready for company,
cause I’m… Coming in hot
Packed up my rig and threw it in my car
Got three gigs today
Better call Bob at the Taco Bar
And tell him that I’m on the way
Now i’m in traffic on the upper deck
Heading to another show downtown
I’d rather be rockin with Freedom
Than home just sitting around
It might look like I’m cutting it close
But If you think I’m running late I’m not
I really wouldn’t have it any other way
Than coming in hot
might not make it to the top someday
but we’ll give it one hell of a shot
could be a while but its safe to say, we’re coming in hot
Living my life the very best I can, Made more than a few mistakes
Never did claim to be a perfect man I got my share of lucky breaks
And when my time comes on judgment day to measure up for my sins
Gonna get down on my knees and pray for the lord my soul to cleanse
The good people that I came from, the friends that I never forgot
They’ll be waiting for me at the pearly gates cause i’m coming in hot
A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY
People let me tell ya about a girl I know
She comes around at twilight time and always steals the show
So pretty and soft spoken when she gets a chance to speak
in spite of all the jokin, her smile makes me weak
i know less is more is what they say, but I tell you what,
A little goes a long way
It’s been such a long time since I went out on a limb
Reaching for forbidden fruit
with the bittersweet taste of sin
hangin on for dear life, falling off the deep end
against my will I let you crawl underneath my skin
I got nothing left to do but pray, down on my knees,
A little goes a long way
Bridge: Like a black cat creeping up the stairs
midnight came and caught us unawares
headlights in the alley, long shadows in the street
old habits that we’re destined to repeat
Ya say that size don’t matter, but it’s a mystery
what a lady of your stature would ever see in me
when it comes to loving, i’ll take it short and sweet
but it might take forever to sweep you off your feet
might not be the highest price to pay,
but I’d sell my soul, A little goes a long way
I know less is more is what they say, but i tell you what
a little goes along,
BEYOND A DOUBT
Many years ago I was a skinny little indian
rolling cigarettes out in the rain
Now I’m doin all the time I never got around to
and mother nature’s sneaking up again
She said I don’t wanna be with anyone
I don’t need nobody but myself
that’s when I decided she’s the only one for me
baby I love you and no one else
baby I love you and no one else
Goin down to the avenue to entertain the visitors
With what I’m holding in these idle hands
Kicking one more habit ain’t a cure for this emptiness
And growing old just wasn’t in my plans
I don’t ever listen to the static on the radio
They can’t tell me what it’s all about
I really don’t believe that I’m convinced of much of anything
but baby i love you without a doubt
way beyond the shadow of a doubt
When it comes to love I’m either taking it or leaving it
You don’t bleed if you don’t make the cut
Space is a gift that you receive while you’re giving it
And baby I love you no matter what
baby i love you no matter what
ALL YOU WANNA DO IS DANCE
I was working at the dancehall, when she came walking through the door
She didn't stop to say hello, she headed straight for the floor
I was hoping that she'd look my way, she never gave me one glance
She ain't got time for nobody, she only wanna dance
I said "You wanna go to town with me? I got some time on my hands"
She said "I got my kids and my job, I ain't got time for no man"
It's hard to get a girl who loves to dance, it's even harder when you can't
You gotta face the circumstance, that she only wanna dance
She just wants to dance, she don't wanna talk to me
She wants to spin around the floor and let her heart run free
She ain't lookin for no money, she ain't lookin for romance
She don't wanna break no hearts, all she wanna do is dance
If I could only tell her, how my broken heart longs
To be with her on the dance floor, but I'm just pickin' out the songs
I wanna tell her that I love her, but I'll never get the chance
Cause she don't wanna hear about it, all she wanna do is dance
She don't wanna break no hearts, all she wanna do is dance
ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
All the Time in the world is what I have for you
unti my dream comes true I've got all the Time in the world
All the patience that it takes and a heart that always aches
arms that long to hold you tight I cry away each lonely night
People tell me I'm a fool that I’m breaking every rule
This feelings gonna pass and will both be free at last
If you never feel the same I only have myself to blame
I'll wait forever for my girl with all the time in the world
All the time in the world is what I have to give
and as long as I live
I've got all the time in the world
I'll wait forever for my girl with all the
THE MINOR WALTZ
I’m thinking back on those innocent days
when we weren’t so old and set in our ways
the clouds weren’t so black, and the sun’s golden rays
gave us hope and love in our hearts
The weatherman said it was only a test
How could we have known we were out of our depth
As the old church bell rang, we held hands and wept
cause we knew it was falling apart
And so I find myself here all alone,
no one to write to or call on the phone
my dreams are the only belongings I own,
just like they been from the start
Chorus: Can’t all you people see, it just really ain’t up to me,
It’s all of your faults, I’m playing this minor waltz…
The oak tree outside of my place,
keeps standing with courage and grace,
she grows so tall while the world gets so small
and choked by the whole human race
I took a walk just last Saturday, down to the shore to see Stevie Ray,
he said boy if you think you got something to say
better pick up that guitar and play… (solo)
So let’s have a round for these good times right here
drown all our spirits in whiskey and beer
drink to tomorrow without any fear and for those that couldn’t be here
Chorus: Why can’t you people see, it just really ain’t up to me, i ain’t got no choice, but to sing in this minor voice, why can’t we all agree, it ain’t really all about me, It’s all of our faults, I’m playing this minor waltz
