I Gotta Girl 04:16
I Gotta Girl You're like a water moccasin dancin' on the river the venom in your fangs is a silent killer the way you walk on water make a grown man shiver the way you walk on me is just an arrow in your quiver CHORUS mind in a tangle grin in a headlock the sun's at an angle look at all the geese flock hands on the clock stop people wearin' fast food got in on the next crop to get me in the right mood You just came out of the fog hypnotized my howling dog don't put the bang before the trigger you make a grown man bigger CHORUS I gotta girl with the ray ban shade tan she shake and rattle like a rattle snake spray can I gotta girl with the ray ban shade tan she shake and rattle like a rattle snake spray can I gotta girl, I gotta girl, I gotta girl, I gotta girl, I gotta girl, I gotta girl, I gotta girl

back then you said we could be just friends asked who I was where it was that I had been I was in love wasn't lost your hand held mine wanton thoughts travel down a wordless line hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up don't tell my baby don't tell my baby don't tell her no don't tell my baby don't tell my baby don't tell her no don't tell my baby don't tell my baby don't tell her no CHORUS baby don't tell my baby on me baby don't tell my baby on me baby don't tell my baby on me baby don't tell my baby on me So there we were in a foxhole climb Your bayonet stare fixed in double time I'm a man not your man on the side I'll be damned if it didn't cross my mind don't tell my baby don't tell my baby don't tell her no don't tell my baby don't tell my baby don't tell her no don't tell my baby don't tell my baby don't tell her no CHORUS I had suspicions about you but I didn't force your palms on the wall white denim framed in my vision you knew you'd have me if I had any at all CHORUS
3.
People 05:19
people always try to tell me that they know what's right and then people always try to tell me I don't need no mother hen I know you want to sneak around with someone else I know you want to sneak around with someone else CHORUS mama always told me I could be a better man be a better man than you mama always told me I could be a better man be a better man than you people always try to tell me at the point of their gun how to live my life completely through contradiction I know you want to sneak around with someone else I know you want to sneak around with someone else CHORUS I wanna be a better man (mama always told me) I want to be a better man (mama always told me) I want to be a better man, oh no people always try to tell me that they know what's right and then people always try to tell me I don't need no mother hen
4.
Wolf Pack 04:40
you never told me you loved me you never told me you cared you never even hugged me but that don't matter that don't matter no more I saw you hit my mother and my sister too you even hit my brother but that don't matter that don't matter no more it's gonna be a cold night, gonna be a cold night, gonna be a cold night, gonna be a cold night CHORUS I'm runnin' with a wild wolf pack and I'm gonna hunt your body down like a full-metal jacket your empty shell hits the cold, hard ground you never told me you loved me you never told me you cared you never even hugged me but that don't matter that don't matter no more I saw you hit my mother and my sister too you even hit my brother but that don't matter that don't matter no more it's gonna be a cold night, gonna be a cold night, gonna be a cold night, gonna be a cold night CHORUS until your body is dead in the ground up at the full moon I'll bark and I'll howl until your body is dead in the ground up at the full moon I'll bark and I'll howl
5.
Lonely 04:00
of all the things I've done and seen the most tragic are the fickle dreams they manifest and melt the beams tear your life apart from seam to seam I meant no harm when I disarmed with molten hands a scene so charmed stars align even some divine every line can't be defined CHORUS but I can tell you what I'd do if you were lonely I would leave you lonely too but I can tell you that I've never been so lonely I'm not the only lonely fool don't you dare ever call my name don't you dare scream it out loud don't you dare be ashamed of yourself I don't mean to act so proud CHORUS you don't care about me I don't care about that you'll never see another one like that so run along little girl run along baby I try to leave but I can't be seen
6.
Gasoline 05:19
still like the smell of gasoline or the way I feel from nicotine what can I do to break this routine everything I love is always tryin' to kill me uh huh, oh yeah, ooh ooh still like the feel of two wheels on the ground feels more real being lost than being found if my cup ain't empty I'll certainly drown I'll keep on chasin' you all the way down CHORUS you might be the last thing that I need I'll take you any way I please you might be the last thing that I need I'll get you even if it kills me they all told me you weren't one to be tamed somethin' about a bird not needin' a cage I'm not tryin' to be guilty or blamed my love for you I'll certainly try to assuage CHORUS still like the smell of gasoline or the way I feel from nicotine what can I do to break this routine everything I love is always tryin' to kill me uh huh oh yeah ooh ooh you might be the last thing that I need you might be the last thing that I need you might be the last thing that I need you might be

White Sugar 03:41
white sugar this ain't how I planned white sugar slipped right through my hands white sugar all I want was a dip white sugar bit me on the lip white sugar met me on the streets white sugar blood was on my sheets white sugar 52nd & steele white sugar tryin' to find Lucille CHORUS my white sugar my white sugar white sugar like a knife in a sheath white sugar by the skin of my teeth white sugar I got the phone to tap white sugar sat right on my lap CHORUS white sugar calls green dollar falls white sugar calls green dollar falls falls falls white sugar I'll wear my grandfather's cap white sugar pack a bag that's fat white sugar ain't white she's black CHORUS my white sugar white sugar sugar white sugar my white sugar
8.
I've had a tear in my eye for days waiting for it's fall much like a stubborn rain CHORUS the devil has already left his mark on me the devil has already left his mark on me you are, you are, you were you were so close to me so go ahead and disappear along with everything that I held dear CHORUS you were, you were, you are you are a ghost to me a ghost to me you are a ghost to me a ghost to me you are a ghost to me
9.
I Won't Tell 03:07
could be something going on hear the hollow echo swell rippled water on the pond I won't tell if you won't tell I can't bend the truth I've never had the stomach a creature of habit with the habit of a preacher but I can keep a secret as long as it don't reach her CHORUS I am just my father's son I can't unring this bell I've rung there's nothing left nothing but your salty tears and nothing that's been done can be undone tell my lover that I'm gone save me from this wicked spell they say that David was taunted by a giant here I am lord at your door I'm not your only client CHORUS
