Lyrics:

White line oceans Black top seas I’ve been sailing Mother nature fought with me Her ice and snow Rain and sleet were falling Now my ship it has been docked The crew is gone The anchors dropped out front You slide a glass in front of me Through eyes of green Ask me what I want I want freedom, for one And drinks for two I want justice for all And a shot, for me and you Don’t tell me there’s nothing here You only serve wine and beer Oh no Where’s a man to get a hundred-proof Shot of truth When he’s feeling down and low There must be something in the back I’ll slip it down the hatch No one will know My spirit needs a spirit And elixir A fixer for my soul A bourbon splash in a glass I’m learning fast And living slow And you can pour it over tears Over laughs Over ice, cracked and cold Freedom is a sacred word A seldom heard songbird It holds no fear So what say you, what say I What say we grab this wine Get out of here? And we’ll find freedom And we can find drinks too And we’ll hope for justice A shot for me and shot for you

Lyrics:

I go out walking after midnight Out in the moonlight just like we used to do I'm always walking after midnight, After midnight searching for you I walk for miles along the highway Well, that's just my way of saying, I love you I'm always walking, always walking After midnight searching for you See a weeping willow crying on her pillow Maybe she's crying for me And as the skies turn gloomy winds whisper to me I'm lonesome I’m lonesome as I can be I go out walking after midnight Out in the moonlight, just hoping you may be Somewhere walking, somewhere walking After midnight searching for me

Lyrics:

See where they sift on weekends / At a diner on the northside of town / She walks the floor / Those nights until four / Serving coffee, the bar's closed down / They start filing in at 2:30 AM / They stumble and fumble about / Seems out of place / A sad smile on her face / Cause on the inside she just wants to shout / The truckers in the diner all know her by name / Say since you've got sober this town ain't the same / Katharine don't fall off that wagon / Dragging your burden around / Sooner or later its bound to get better again / It can't get worse than it is for you now / She clocks out and walks home the long way / Stopping off at the all night five ten / Cigarettes, lottery tickets / Thinking someday my luck will come in / She comes home to a messy apartment / And a tall stack of overdue bills / She opens up the medicine cabinet / Takes a hard look at new sleeping pills / Looks in the mirror / And then looks away / And then hears herself say / Katharine don't fall of that wagon / Dragging your burden around / Sooner or later its bound to get better / It can't get no worse for you now / Katharine is 11 months sober / She's got sponsors and meetings and steps / She walks the line one day a time / She cries when she's all by herself / Thinks back to 11 months prior / Waking up behind the wheel of a car / Keys in her hand / She tried but she can't recall / Getting home from the bar / That day was a special occasion / Her only daughter was set to be wed / She talk a few shots / Got drunk and forgot / Spent the afternoon passed out in bed/ Mother and daughter haven't spoke since that day / She looks at that phone and wonders / What would I say /Katharine don't fall of that wagon / Dragging your burden around / Sooner or later its bound to get better / It can't get no worse for you now

Lyrics:

Stay in between / LInes on the interstate / Trying to concentrate / keep travilling through space and time / daily routine / Room keys and checkout times / road maps and traffic signs / the past is far behind / Living between / Late nights and cloudy days / Phone calls for far away / keep moving on down the line / Working up steam / Clouds tend to disappear / Fate in the rearview mirror / no looking back / the past, the past is far behind / my heart is the time between / to wonder is not a sin /time /time / rusty old hearts and time machines / sworn not to see / homesick and hollowed out / nothing to write home about / keep moving on / through space in time / stuck in between / the wave of history / the future is a mystery / no looking back / the past, the past is far behind/ my heart is a time machine / wondered it aint asleep / time / time / rusty old hearts and time machines / time /time / broken down hearts and time machines / whoah / whoah / whoah /whoah

Lyrics:

Sam's an old blues singer / With a checkered history / Twenty minutes in the spotlight / Twenty years in infamy / The decades flew right past and left him drifting through the haze / Now he's heading the road a little ways / To an old familiar story in and old familiar keys / Crooked chords on rusty strings / and a borrowed melody / Its hard to tell the singer from the sad old song he plays / He's heading down the road a little ways / Sam's a little wiser / And longer in the tooth / His candle burned much brighter when he was in his youth / But he'll keep on moving to avoid the undertaker's gaze / He's heading the road a little ways / World is filled with empty bars / And late night caberet's / He's heading down the road a little ways.

Lyrics:

Church bells rang out in the streets / For the men coming home from overseas / And our town breathed a sigh of relief / Like a curse had been lifted / Well we stand while we watch the parade / we ate popcorn and drank lemonade / With the sun on the faces / We played the streets of New England / I can see when he stepped of the bus / As he made his way over to us / He's not the same man as he was / Before he enlisted / And she stood over there alone in the door / And said "Mama dont cry anymore / Now that daddy's come home from the war / Everthing's gonna be different" / When the hot summer sun went down / Mama put on her green evening gown / They went out for a night on the town / The streets of New England

Lyrics:

These arterial rode ways Carry apathy indifferently From horrid day rest ill To its unfeeling extremities In between the rise and falls on an empire Light from the campfire faded away History writes itself on the faces Of people and places With traces of gray As dark Marcus sleeps at night This town dreams in black and white Oh no no A hell filled with vampires Can a wound go unrecognized See the ghost of the death tonight As a freightliner rumbles by In between the rise and falls on an empire Light from the campfire faded away History writes itself on the faces Of people and places With traces of gray In between the rise and falls on an empire Light from the campfire faded away History writes itself on the faces Of people and places With traces of gray

Lyrics:

We were hopeful, optimistic, believers at the start The spirit of discovery was burning in our hearts We were hungry for adventure with our battle flag unfurled When we set out on a journey to the bottom of the world Well our good ship the Endurance fought a noble fight Defeated by the pressure that attacked from every side She sank beneath the surface, and the icy water swirled As she drifted to the bottom, the bottom of the world Well here's to good old Shakespeare, the Holy Hound was he A loyal friend until the end, the best one he could be Never gave us any trouble, his tail just wagged and curled Raise a glass to good old Shakespeare at the bottom of the world We were stranded and abandoned, at the mercy of the sea I've seen the face of death, and he was staring back at me Into an angry ocean our battered boat was hurled We tangled with the Devil at the bottom of the world Here's to Shackleton, our leader, for keeping us alive His determination the only reason we survived Because of him I'll be coming home to my wife and my little girl Yeah, we made it home together from the bottom of the world

Lyrics:

Old bag of bones that is where I start My mind keeps telling me I shouldn't but I only listen to my heart This old bag of bones has been sitting still a while collecting dust and dreams and all of those things but it knows that we could be two birds of a feather if you start coming around I've got my heart set deep on loving again and you're where I want to start This heavy heart it is hiding behind this old bag of bones and you know that it knows that we could be two birds of a feather if you start coming around I've got my heart set deep on loving again and you're where I want to start But Oh I am paralyzed by the look in your eyes that tells me you don't want me to go home Oh I think you're just in time though you're out of sight you are never far from my mind

Lyrics:

You make me swoon, when you cross the room, my lips quiver, and I drool on you, you make me swoon, when you cross the room, my heart faints for you, it's true, oh fainting is dainty, as any boy can tell, but if falling in love is sissy, then call me a daffodil, you make me swoon, when you cross the room, my heart faints for you, You make me swoon, when you cross the room, my lips quiver, and I drool on you, you make me swoon, when you cross the room, my heart faints for you, you make me swoon

Lyrics:

Wine, oh wine, honey I think I spilled too much, last night, Wine, oh wine, honey I think I spilled too much, last night, and I told you that I loved you, but that was just a lie, oh I just like to tell a girl "i love you" when I drink too much wine, and I told you, as I held you, "be careful with me baby, it's my first time", oh I just like to make a girl feel special, when I drink too much wine, oh a glass in my lunchbox, a glass after work, a glass at my dinner, a glass at dessert, a glass at the ballroom, a glass on the way, a glass in a taxi cab, and a glass back at your place, Wine, oh wine, honey I think i spilled too much last night, oh a glass in my lunchbox, a glass after work, a glass at my dinner, a glass at dessert, a glass at the ballroom, a glass on the way, a glass in a taxi cab, and a glass back at your place, Wine, oh wine, honey I think i spilled too much last night, Wine, oh wine, honey I think i spilled too much last night, and I asked you to marry me, oh sorry honey but I already got a wife, and I just like to tell a girl "I love you", oh I just like to make a girl feel special, Oh I just like to ask a girl to marry me, when I drink too much wine

Lyrics:

Oh William Howard Taft, had a great big smile and a great big laugh, a great big belly, and great big thighs that slapped together when he walked by, no he can't squeeze nothing past William Howard Taft, oh William Howard Taft, got himself stuck in a bath, secret servant and the police

Lyrics:

Oh when your lips are playing my kazoo, all I wanna do is sing. (yadda yadda zing) When you make that sweet little noise, all the other boys want to be me. That's 'cause honey you got a way with music, and you know how to use it. Oh when your lips are playing my kazoo all I wanna do is sing (all I wanna do is sing) Oh when your lips are playing my kazoo, I fall in love with you in a wink (in a wink) Oh when you hum those sweet melodies, I tremble at the knees, I need a drink. That's 'cause honey you can do what no other girl can do, with just your lips, a little teeth, and a kazoo. Oh when your lips are playing my kazoo, I fall in love with you (I fall in love with you) Oh when your lips are playing my kazoo, all I wanna do is sing (yadd yadda zing) When you make that sweet little noise, all the other boys want to be me. That's 'cause honey you got a way with music, and you know how to use it (Oh you know how to use it) When your lips are playing my kazoo, I fall in love with.

Lyrics:

My love and I were the toast of the town, the pair everybody knew. We'd roll around the city on a bicycle built for two. But one evening we had a quarrel, and filled with spite, my love, she took a hacksaw to our lovely tender bike. Left me with the unicycle blues, if you only knew my sad situation, I fall down after one rotation. Day after day I tumble on the pavement trying to lose my unicycle blues. I've got the unicycle blues, I played a fool for everyone that passes I fall down and I break my glasses. All in the distance, you're perfectly balanced, but I can't lose my unicycle blues. Oh it was colder than an icicle, than an Eskimo with no igloo (that's pretty cold) You took my heart and my bicycle and told them bold in two. Left me with the unicycle blues, honey I can't lose my unicycle blues. I've got the unicycle blues, if you only knew my sad situation, I fall down after one rotation. Day after day I tumble on the pavement trying to lose my unicycle, trying to lose my unicycle, trying to lose my unicycle.

Lyrics:

I sing for your song of prohibition and offer some advice I hope you use (I hope you use) This world offers all kinds of stimulation, even if the government takes away your booze. Congress turned off the liquor spout, but you and me are still getting out because they can't prohibit love. Oh my gin cup's as dry as they get, but you and me are still getting wet because they can't prohibit love. Oh my best barman took the keys to his tavern and turned them over, but let me tell you honey, I don't feel any soberer because every time we kiss and hug, baby, I'm as good as drunk because they can't prohibit love. Oh I got the tremors but they don't hurt because you got the medicine beneath your skirt, honey, they can't prohibit love. So tell them insanities, "do your worst". You and me ain't buying a thirst because they can't prohibit love. Oh that firewater and moonshine dug a hole right through my liver, but your loving makes every single one of my organs quiver. Every time we kiss and hug, baby, I'm as good as drunk because they can't prohibit love. Yes every time we kiss and hug, baby, I'm as good as drunk because they can't prohibit love. Oh they can't prohibit love, they can't prohibit love (repeated) (scatting) They can't prohibit love, they can't prohibit love (repeated)

Lyrics:

There's something in my trousers (What's that you say?) There's something in my trousers (How does it feel?) Oh, it's warm. There's a churning inside (Help me narrow it down) And I'm feeling kind of dirty (Now get out of town) And now lady is gone. So you're talking to a lady? (Guilty as charged) Things were getting kind of heavy? Gotta try hard to hold it all in and now lady is gone. Don't say another word, I know. Don't say another, I know. I've spoke too much already (no you've been quite vague) And it's causing all the sweating (Why don't you try it again?) I can't because there's something in my trousers (repeat)

Lyrics:

Keep your bodice laced up, lovely dear. We know not to raise suspicion while my wife is here. Oh honey, there'll be a time for loving. Oh, keep your painted fingers off my suit. We know not to drown each other in disrepute. Oh honey, there'll be a time for loving. Oh, I know that your heart is pumping blood to your special something. Honey, my blood is pumping too. I know that your mind is running, girl, there'll be time for loving soon. Honey, soon. But for now, keep your arms and elbows to yourself, I'm known as a gentleman of utmost moral health. Oh honey, there'll be a time for loving. Oh, Keep your bodice laced up, lovely dear. We know not to raise suspicion while my wife is here. Oh honey, there'll be a time for loving, oh, there'll be a time for loving.

Lyrics:

It was on a Monday morning, about one o'clock, that great ship, Titanic, began to reel and rock. People began to cry, saying, "Lord am I gonna die?" It was sad when that grand ship went down. It was sad (it was sad) It was sad (it was sad) It was when that grand ship went down. Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives. It was sad when that grand ship went down. Oh and that ship left dangling, was heading for the shore. Her rich reviews to associate with the poor. So they put the poor below and they were the first to go. It was sad when that grand ship went down. It was sad (it was sad) It was sad (it was sad) It was when that grand ship went down. Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives. It was sad when that grand ship went down. Oh when they were building, they said what they would do, "We'll build a ship that the water can't get through" But the Lord's mighty hand showed it couldn't stand, it was sad when that grand ship went down. It was sad (it was sad) It was sad (it was sad) It was when that grand ship went down. Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives. It was sad when that grand ship went down. It was sad (it was sad) It was sad (it was sad) It was when that grand ship went down. Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives. It was sad when that grand ship went down. It was sad when that grand ship went down. (repeated)

Lyrics:

I was thinking about Abraham Lincoln and how he made our Union right. I started drinking, dipped my head in the sink and cried out, "Baby, why aren't you here tonight?" I ain't satisfied if you got secession on your mind. Like the Mason Dixon line, it's running between us. I was wondering about the 1800s, when they tried to tear our country apart. Like I'm a hunkering down in for a somethering. Honey, you're shooting cannon balls in my heart. I ain't satisfied if you've got secession on your mind. Like the Mason Dixon line, running between us. I was dreaming about Robert E. Lee and how all the ladies thought he was brave. But ain't that something, even he stopped fighting, and maybe, baby, we'll stop fighting one day. I ain't satisfied if you got secession on your mind. Like the Mason Dixon line, running between us. Oh baby, I ain't satisfied if you got secession on the mind. Like the Mason Dixon line, running between us.

Lyrics:

My love for you is like the square root of two. That's a nerdy way to flirt, oh buddy it's true. Because if you write that number straight out to the umpteenth decimal place, you notice that it don't repeat and it never terminates. My affection's never ending, every day is new. My love is like the square root of two, written as a decimal, my love is like the square root of two. My love for you is like the square root of two. That's a dorky way to court, oh buddy it's true. My fondness isn't fractional, in fact, it's irrational, that is if we're speaking terms strictly mathemagical. Oh, fetch me a blackbow, I'll sketch you the proof, that my love is like the square root of two, written as a decimal, my love is like the square root of two. Oh, baby, I know you're not much for numbers, but maybe you can make an exception and we can be lovers. My affection's never ending, every day is new. That's how my love is like the square root of two. Oh, fetch me a blackbow, I'll sketch you the proof, that my love is like the square root of- My affection's never ending, every day is new, that's how my love is like the square root of two, written as a decimal, my love is like the square root of two. Oh, baby now, my love is like the square root of two.

Lyrics:

When your kitty cat or your puppy dies, you dig a hole and bury him. When your pet fish goes belly up, you scoop him out and clean the aquarium. When your horse gets sick, oh you shoot him right there in the stable. But when your little pet bunny rabbit goes, you hold a funeral on the dinner table. Oh rabbit feet, rabbit feet. Ain't nothing taste better than a little bunny meat. Oh bunny meat, yeah bunny meat. Ain't nothing taste better than a little rabbit feet. I got furry in my teeth. I got furry in my teeth, I got fur in my teeth from eating too much bunny meat. Oh bunny meat, oh bunny meat. Ain't nothing taste better than a little rabbit feet. Oh I don't use beef or chicken when I'm making stew, 'cause red meat's got the e-coli and chicken's got the avian flu. But when I want something tender for to make my stomach holler, I shuffle on down to the pet store and throw down every one of my dollars on the rabbit feet, yeah rabbit feet. Ain't nothing taste better than a little bunny meat, oh bunny meat, yeah bunny meat. Ain't nothing taste better than a little rabbit feet. Oh I got furry in my teeth, I got furry in my teeth, I got fur in my teeth eating too much bunny meat. Oh bunny meat, yeah bunny meat. Ain't nothing taste better than a little rabbit feet.

Lyrics:

Nineteen hundred twenty-nine, men and women sure were dying from that stuff which the doctors called the flu. People dying everywhere, death went creeping through the air, for the groans of the sick sure were sad. It was God's mighty hand, he is judging this old land. North and south, east and west can be seen. As he killed the rich and poor, and he's going to kill more, if you don't turn away from your shame. It was Memphis, Tennessee, doctors said it soon would be a few days influenza would control. But God showed him his hand and he sent the doctors to bed, and the nurse broke down with the same. It was God's mighty hand, he is judging this old land. North and south, east and west can be seen. As he killed the rich and poor, and he's going to kill more, if you don't turn away from your shame. Influenza is a disease, makes you weak in your knees. Carries a fever everybody sure do dread. Put a pain in every bone, a few days and you are gone to a place in the ground called the grave. It was God's mighty hand, he is judging this old land. North and south, east and west can be seen. As he killed the rich and poor, and he's going to kill more, if you don't turn away from your shame.

Lyrics:

Oh I ain't going into work tomorrow, and if anybody asks, I'll be at home with my baby, getting lazy, we're joining the leisure class. I've said bye to all my toils and troubles, trade them in for love and laughs. Home with my baby, getting lazy, we're joining the leisure class. Oh my hands are free of callouses, there's no sweat on my brow. My heart is free of malices, it's all so easy now. I ain't going into work tomorrow, and if anybody asks, I'll be home with my baby, getting lazy, we're joining the leisure class. Oh my hands are free of callouses, there's no sweat on my brow. My heart is free of malices, it's all so easy now. Oh I ain't going into work tomorrow, and if anybody asks, I'll be home with my baby, getting lazy, we're joining the leisure class. Oh, home with my baby, getting lazy, we're joining the leisure class.
