LA Bound 03:56
If I could do everything over again I’d write it all down and I’d learn a lesson, I hope. If I was a million other men I’d stroll into town and make my directions known. If you gave me a nickel for every time I’ve felt right at home in this old place I might’ve thrown in a couple of dimes With everything else I packed in this old case But save your money and buy your freedom Save your tears for when you need ‘em And save your breath, it’s too late now La la la la la la la la I’m LA bound If I have a final word of advice That I could leave behind me in my wake Remember to always measure twice And cut once And for heaven's sake Save your money and buy your freedom Save your tears for when you need ‘em And save your breath, it’s too late now La la la la la la la la I’m LA bound

My mother had money There’s money in my blood But my high heels, honey, Don’t walk well in mud Sometimes don’t it seem like Some folks will catch all the breaks And some folks come in with their hands tied God must’ve made some mistakes I look around At all of my wasted time And it’s clear to me now That a good man is too hard to find I used to play some piano And I used to dance alright too Then along come a man Put a diamond on my hand What’s an Alabama girl to do? And ain’t it just like a man When push comes to shove To find it too much to stand And fall hard on the woman he loves The woman he loves I look around At all of my wasted time And it’s clear to me now That a good man is too hard to find

I’m not gonna lie to you this isn’t how I thought our last goodbye was gonna be With a box in my arms labeled “Everything That She Forgot” Trying not to look at you trying not to look at me Anyway it’s mostly shoes and summer clothes we packed away til it got hot And I’ll be leaving you alone now With everything that you forgot I found a shoebox shoved up underneath the bed full of Polaroids and notes Between a boy and a girl Where he promised her the world And she said she’d love him all her life and that’s a quote Anyway I wouldn’t bring it up except I couldn’t help but see it laying right on top And I’ll be leaving you alone now With everything that you forgot I’d hold it from the bottom It’s a load to carry around I would know, it’s been weighing me down It’s nice to see you even just a little while I hope you’re getting all you need Tell your mother and your brother and your sister I said hi And you can tell your father that he’s finally rid of me I’ve a ways to go but please pick the phone up if ever I come running through your thoughts And I’ll be leaving you alone now With everything that you forgot

Blame it on animal instinct But a man knows what he wants Give him a fast car and a warm bed And an old bar to haunt Or blame it on the stars Blame it on the tides But honey I can’t help If I want you tonight So blame it on the hour Or blame it on the booze But if you don’t get a love song Blame it on the blues Blame it on the blues And a real long history With Kentucky music And Tennessee whiskey Blame it on these tears Keep falling on my shoes And if you don’t get a love song Blame it on the blues Blame it on my reputation Blame it on bridges I’ve burned Gimme a fast car And a warm bed I never learn Blame it on my mouth And the things that I let out Blame it on believing I ever know what I’m talking about Or you can blame it on the hour Blame it on the booze But if you don’t get a love song Blame it on the blues Blame it on the blues And a real long history With Kentucky music And Tennessee whiskey Blame it on these tears That I can’t keep off my shoes And if you don’t get a love song Blame it on the blues

Moon River 03:47
I played you a song called Moon River From an old movie I knew And you just laid there and shivered While I played Moon River for you You’d make a beautiful drifter If it weren’t for the walls of this damned little room So I do my best to deliver us down Moon River And the moon doesn’t shine on your sidewalk at night You come down the drive and I slipped on the ice Heart in a bind and a head full of wine and Moon River Moon river I played Moon River for you Everything beautiful withers The flowers on your bedside are starting to bend So I hope that you will forgive one more run of Moon River Cause if there do come a time that your heart will go quiet And you lose all the light that shines in your eyes I’ll sing that old tune and we’ll lay down beside the Moon River moon river I’ll play Moon River for you Moon River I’ll play Moon River for you

Harvest 03:58
They’ll be standing single file Along the road, a thousand men They’ll be stretching out a mile When I bring the harvest in There’ll be wine to fill your cup There’ll be roses on your skin Honey we’ll be coming up When I bring the harvest in We were satisfied before We’ll be satisfied again And we’ll never want for more When I bring the harvest in
7.
It's not hard to say what I mean We'll build a castle You'll be the queen We don't need a prayer or a dime Or a few lousy verses in meter and rhyme To say I love you I love you all the time There's no place I'd rather be Than any old place Long as you're there with me And there's no one In the whole world that I'd Rather have every day by my side Cause I love you I love you all the time And one day honey you and me We will lay like the moss in the shade of a tree But if we live to a hundred and five You'll hear me saying on the day I die That I loved you I loved you all of the time I love you I love you all of the time

Nerve 04:15
You’ve got a whole lotta Nerve To waltz in here smiling Telling me what I deserve Cause I would be lying To say that I thought I was worth Feeling the earth move You’ve got a whole lotta Nerve You’ve got a hole in your skirt You’ve got a knife on your arm You’ve got a four letter word Ever on your lips It’s a part of your charm You took your toe to the dirt Wrote out “thou shalt do no harm” You got ahold of my shirt And pulled til it ripped And set off no alarms Did you feel the earth move? You’ve got a whole lotta Nerve Maybe I’m making it up Maybe I’m making it up Maybe I’m making it up Maybe I’m making it up You gotta hope every word Will come out just right When you toss like a boat in the surf You roll and you pitch and you hold the rail right When you feel the earth Did you feel the earth move? Cause honey I felt the earth move You’ve got a whole lot of nerve

She took a walk while I took a bath She took a pill, I took a half She took her shoes off and started to laugh And there’s a whole day We took a day trip, it took a week She took to talking out loud in her sleep I took to rhyming whenever I’d speak Oh well Ok There’s a bird I heard one time singing “oh Joe, by the way It’s only the moon at the end of the day” And whether or not it’s true I’m gonna sing it anyway If it’s only the moon at the end of the day She took her hair down once in my room I was reminded of roses in bloom I fell asleep and I dreamt of the moon in that dreamlike way There’s a bird I heard one time singing “oh Joe, by the way It’s only the moon at the end of the day” And whether or not it’s true I’m gonna sing it anyway If it’s only the moon at the end of the day
