Track Lyrics
Lookin’ for a Reason Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm a-lookin' for a reason to stay
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
I'm a-lookin' for a reason not to go
When the morning comes, I'll be on my way
[Verse 1]
Every night I ask myself again
Just what it was that made our dream begin
It seemed like a good idea way back then
But I'm wondering now what daydream took me in
[Chorus]
I'm a-lookin' for a reason to stay
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
I'm a-lookin' for a reason not to go
When the morning comes, I'll be on my way
[Verse 2]
Yesterday I tried once more to find
A way to share the trouble on my mind
It seems like you turn away every time
I used to like it here, I can't remember why
[Chorus]
I'm a-lookin' for a reason to stay
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today
I'm a-lookin' for a reason not to go
When the morning comes, I'll be on my way
I'm a-lookin' for a reason to stay
I'm all wound up and tied in knots today...
Tearin’ Up the Country Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Playing a pavilion on the outskirts of town
Playing where my roller derby rolls
Just a part time music man, a nobody at the plant
I'm tearing up the country with a song
Mom and papa told me "Son, you gotta go to school
Only way to make the family proud
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud
[Chorus 1]
Tearing up the country with a song
Tearing up the country with a song
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud
[Bridge]
Play it loud, now! Woo!
[Chorus 1]
Tearing up the country with a song
Tearing up the country with a song
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud
[Verse 2]
Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go
Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way
I remember loading big trucks when the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not
[Chorus 2]
Tearing up the country with a song
Tearing up the country with a song
I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not
Tearing up the country with a song
Tearing up the country with a song
I remember loadin' big trucks when the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not
Someday Never Comes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
First thing I remember, was asking papa "Why?"
For there were many things I didn't know
And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying, "someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
[Verse 2]
The time and tears went by, and I collected dust
For there were many things I didn't know
When Daddy went away, he said "try to be a man
And someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
[Verse 3]
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
A son was born to me, mama held his hand
Saying "someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday Never Comes
Ooh, someday never comes
[Verse 4]
Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And I still see him standin, tryin' to be a man
I said, "someday you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son
You'd better learn it fast, you'd better learn it young
'Cause someday never comes
Ooh someday never comes
[Outro]
Mmm-mmm-mm
Mm-mm-mmm
Hmm-mmm-mm-mm
What Are You Gonna Do Lyrics
[Chorus]
When you're alone
You come back crying and you want to go home
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
[Verse 1]
Your idea to pack up and go
You said you had no life of your own
Moving in was not too hard to do
You got second thoughts, you're going to have to choose
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
[Verse 2]
Told you all the secrets that were mine
The good things that I picked up overtime
Won't accept the reason why you're here
Talk things out, overcome the fear
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
[Verse 3]
Thought that I was all that you need
You told me things I wanted to believe
You know that leaving me would be wrong
Stay with me, I'll help you to be strong
[Chorus]
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
For someone forgettin' it seems
Like you're letting it take you away from me
What are you gonna do?
Forget about your mother and think about you
Sail Away Lyrics
[Chorus 1]
Lock the door, sun's a falling
Poke the fire, don't let the cold in
Going to try to sail away from the rest of my life
[Verse 1]
Found a boat to make the break in
Filled with hope 'bout the step I'm taking
Going to try to sail away from the rest of my life
[Chorus 2]
Spent a long time listening to the captain of the sea
Shouting orders to his crew; No one hears but me
[Verse 2]
Cast away, tide's a running
Hoist the sail, strong wind's coming
Going to try to sail away from the rest of my life
[Chorus 2]
Spent a long time listening to the captain of the sea
Shouting orders to his crew; No one hears but me
[Chorus 1]
Lock the door, sun's a falling
Poke the fire, don't let the cold in
Going to try to sail away from the rest of my life
[Outro]
Gonna try to sail away from the rest of my life
Hello Mary Lou Lyrics
[Chorus]
"Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
[Verse 1]
Passed me by one sunny day
Flashed those big brown eyes my way
And oo I wanted you forever more
I'm not one that gets around
Swear my feet stuck to the ground
And though I never did meet you before
[Chorus]
I said "Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
[Verse 2]
Saw your lips I heard your voice
Believe me I just had no choice
Wild horses couldn't make me stay away
Thought about a moonlit night
My arms around you good and tight
That's all I had to see for me to say
[Chorus]
"Hey, hey, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you
I knew Mary Lou, We'd never part
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
So Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Yes, Hello Mary Lou, Goodbye heart
Door to Door Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Find me out a walking time the whistle starts a calling
Maybe stopping early, knocking at your door
Take so long to answer, Lord knows it ain't the milkman
Could be stopping early, selling Door To Door
Here's my latest sample; like to show you how to use it
First, you pull the curtain while I spread some here
Wipe the surface gently, try to use a circle motion
Safe for all your problems, and my price is fair
[Chorus 1]
This stuff'll get the stain out if you use it loosely wadded
This here'll take the pain out and won't mess your hair
[Chorus 2]
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here
[Verse 2]
Man is on the last train, all that work and no play
Could be stopping early, knocking at your door
Time for me to head on; pack my kit and 'So long
Catch you bright and early selling Door To Door
[Chorus 1]
This stuff'll get the stain out if you use it loosely wadded
This here'll take the pain out and won't mess your hair
[Chorus 2]
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here
[Chorus 2]
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here
Place your order early 'cause you know I'm in a hurry
Your neighbor's in her doorway, won't you sign right here
Sweet Hitch‐Hiker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Was riding alongside the highway
Rolling up the countryside
Thinking I'm the devil's heat wave
What you burn in your crazy mind
Saw a slight distraction standing by the road
She was smiling there, yellow in her hair
“Do you want to?” I was thinking, “Would you care?”
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Verse 2]
Cruising on through the junction
I'm flying about the speed of sound
Noticing peculiar function
I'm no roller coaster, shut me down
I turned away to see her
Whoa! She caught my eye
But I was rolling down, moving too fast
“Do you want to?” she was thinking, “Can it last?”
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King (yeah)
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Was busted up along the highway
I'm the saddest riding fool alive
Wondering if you're goin' my way
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Now here she comes a-riding
Lord, she's flying high
She was rolling down, moving too fast
“Do you want to?” she was thinking, “Can I last?”
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Chorus]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
Won't you ride on my fast machine?
[Outro]
Sweet hitch-a-hiker
We could make music at the Greasy King
