1.	If I Ever Leave (This Old World) (feat. Alex "Kent" Clark) 01:58	lyrics	buy track
If I ever leave this old world, If I ever leave this old world, If I ever leave this old world, by and by, You know that's gonna be the day that I die. Well I met this girl, she was five-foot-two. Her name was Madelyn, and she could really sing the blues. "Come on," she said, "Let's be lovers. We don't got to belong to one another." If I ever lay down this guitar, If I ever lay down this guitar, If I ever lay down this guitar, by and by, You know that's gonna be the day that I die. If I ever leave this old world, If I ever leave this old world, If I ever leave this old world, by and by, You know that's gonna be the day that I die. If you ever stop loving me, If you ever stop loving me, If you ever stop your kissing and your hugging, Girl, that's gonna be the day that I cry like hell.
2.	Nothing Serious 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Baby, there ain't no reason left for you to doubt That I feel the same way -- What am I on about? Baby, there ain't no reason left for to stay. I know you are leavin', but it'll be okay. I know that times will be tough, But we can't just give this up. Baby, there ain't no worries when I am with you Sittin' in this bed here is all I want to do. I know we should go out and see the city lights, Or we could just stay here and sing Christmas songs all night. Let's watch a movie or play a game; Rudolf will never be the same. I don't care if Bono is knockin' at my door; He is not the one who I came here for. Now let's go on down, oh to that river's edge. Feelin' like your man as we walk across the bridge. Together forever starting now. I made it this far, but I don't know how. Baby, there ain't no reason you should need your keys. I'm feelin' a mile high. Girl, won't you please join me? Now let's climb the steps up to the Kölner Dom, Or we could get drunk by three and nap on the way home. Together forever starting now. I made it this far, but I don't know how.
3.	Jiu-Jitsu 04:06	lyrics	buy track
Yes, it's hard to say, When you don't know your self. And would it be okay If I love you with my life, while I am learning to love myself? Chorus: Oh, I got a good friend, And darling, you found one in me. And would you hold onto me Like I was your own? Instrumental Break Chorus And we keep trying to be Nothing but healthy and white. You know, sometimes I wish I could just sit here and cry. Chorus Instrumental Break Chorus
4.	The Prettiest Thing 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Well, the prettiest damn thing that ever I've seen Was a bunch of folks sittin' 'round a big ol' pot of beans. Well, you add a little bit of this, a little bit of that; Add some pork and don't forget the fat. Well, me and my friends don't have no scene; We just like sittin' 'round a big pot of beans. Sock it to me! Beans, beans, beans, beans... Beans! Oh, people get hungry, people get mean. I'll set you right with a big ol' pot of beans. Sock it to me! Beans, beans, beans, beans... Beans!
5.	Me and You 03:25	lyrics	buy track
Chorus 1: Me and you, we got a history, But that don't mean that you're gonna get close to me- Not again, babe. I keep it locked tight, To keep people like you out of my life. I think you know that you used to mean Everything in the world to me, But then I saw so clearly what I had to do, So I ridded myself of everything that was you. And now I'm feeling good. Yes, I'm feeling free. And if I ever do let someone else in, I sure as hell won't make the same mistake again. Chorus 1 I had my doubts that I would ever find the key- The one who would unlock the love in me. It was getting so dark, and I could barely see the light, And I was just about to give up the fight. And then she came to me, and it was plain to see She was the one you were supposed to be. Well, she floated in, an inch off the ground, She whispered in my ear, and I was finally found. Chorus 2: Me and you, we got a history, But that don't mean that you're gonna get close to me- Not again, babe. I kept it locked tight, To give someone like her the rest of my life.
6.	Plain Old Dream 04:10	lyrics	buy track
This life floats by, day by day, night by night. It's so damn perfect, I could just cry. Sometimes it's so peaceful, I just wanna break down and scream, "Oh, I'm livin' in a plain old dream!" Back when I was a kid, I didn't have have a care 'bout what I did. All that excitement I could never forget. Now I guess I got a little older, and I guess I got a little mean, So now I'm livin' in a plain old dream! I thought by now, I'd be some kind of hero somehow, But I just spend my free time here on my couch. The most excitement I get is up on that silver screen, And I'm livin' in a plain old dream!

8.	Good Bit Of Fun (feat. Alex "Kent" Clark) 03:56	lyrics	buy track
Well, last night I met you babe, and it was warmer than the day before, And it only got hotter still when I saw you walk through the door. Well, the moon it was shining bright, beating down like the sun, And I knew I was in for a good bit of fun. Chorus 1: 'Cause you were wearin' them high-heeled shoes, Looking like you're on the prowl. And I was thinking, "What I got to lose? I wouldn't mind being her prey now." You started heading my way, and it feels like I'm lookin down the barrel of a gun, But I knew I was in for a good bit of fun. Guitar solo I woke up this morning -- it was just about the crack of dawn -- Took a quick look around my room, and baby you were gone. Wasn't sure if last night was real, but I knew that it was done, And that dream sure was a good bit of fun. Chorus 1 Harmonica solo I walked outside and, blinded by the morning light, couldn't make sense of it all. I hadn't even left my stoop, and guess who it was I saw? from the look in your eyes, babe, I was just about to turn and run, But I thought I was in for a good bit of fun. Chorus 2: 'Cause now you're wearin' them high-heeled shoes, And you look like you're on the prowl. And I'm thinking, "What I got to lose? I wouldn't mind being her prey now." You start heading my way, and babe, I'm lookin down the barrel of a gun, You say, "Baby, we're in for a good bit of fun."
9.	In Another Life 02:28	lyrics	buy track
Care to explain to me how this love came to be? How could I ever be so lucky? It's plain and simple, see that just one man like me Can only ever get to be so happy. Outside, she's knockin' wet. I'm singing, "Ready, set, Go!" but you haven't even gotten here yet. A broken closet; no need to go and fret. Let's make a night the two of us will never forget. Drivin' you back where you belong up north, Then I'm wakin' up to a call or three or four. I make the mad dash up to the airport To say, "Babe, why you gotta go and leave me for?" I know you're leavin' soon, and I mean this afternoon, But I can't imagine being hewn from you. Singin' a different tune, home to an empty room, In another life, I would've been your groom. Care to explain to me how this love came to cease? How could I ever be so unlucky? It's plain and simple, see that just one man like me Can only ever get to be so happy. Drivin' me back where I belong down south, Wakin' up to a bad taste in my mouth. These thoughts make me mad, and I can't get them out, Shoutin', "Babe, why'd you have to go and leave me now?"
10.	Hung in the Hammock (Thumpish/Bumpish Version) 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Hang me in the morning, baby. You know I ain't got no use. Hang me in the morning, child. You know I ain't got no use. I'm gonna wake up and my face is gonna be chartreuse. When I wake up, I got them, I got them mean old walkin' blues. When I wake up, I find them mean old walkin' blues waitin' at my door. It's so down home, girl!

about

Fun Fact:
"The term 'bean' originally referred to the seed of the broad or fava bean, but was later expanded to include members of the New World genus Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean, and the related genus Vigna. The term is now applied generally to many other related plants such as Old World soybeans, peas, chickpeas (garbanzos), vetches, and lupins."
