Been a while

A few hours sleep and this coffee is cold
and I ain’t get younger I’m just getting old
and I’m sure if I could remember even one or two days
there might be something I’ve learned
Cause while these people are beautiful and begging to hold
a little more substance than this cigarette I rolled
this evening is long and my conviction is weak
so instead I’m just feelin' burned
So I‘ll climb up these stairs
into the light of the day
see what it offers
which way that I sway
and if it’s forwards not backwards - then something went right
and I ain’t riding on the edge of a knife
Cause two out three it don’t equal four
and you give it all up but they is gonna want more
and if they ain’t by your side by the time you get home
your gonna have to do it alone
I get a little high - You get a little low
Its been a while since - you've been round
and I'm gonna stumble myself straight into the ground
Now even the tattoos that color my skin
are just as transparent as this life that I’m in
and I know that I’m loud and should be dumbing it down
but its been a while since you've been around
And there’s a few more hours till I head to the joint
and Its killing me slowly and I’m sure there’s a point
but I’m going down hill and I’m picking up speed
So I never know what to believe
Cause when your riding that wave and everything’s good
You’ll be doing the things that they all wish they would
and if you stumble and fall – well who gives a fuck
We all gotta run outta luck

My kind of love

I see you walk into a bar like
you’ve got no cares on your mind
I see you buy your own drinks
though boys be offering all the time
Cause you’re a woman not a girl
and your gonna do just as you please
Leave those little boys quaking in they boots
and shaking in they knees
Cause this is my kinda love, my kinda Love
You know what you got – and you’ve got it!
Cause this is my kinda love, my kinda Love
I know what I want and I want it
I got a fire in my belly that I really can’t contain
I got a bluntness to me baby that I surely can’t refrain
Cause I’m a man not a boy and I got some ideas of my own
and I be telling you plan as day that I surely wanna take you home
So buy yourself a Gin and I’ll get myself a Whiskey
and you can sit by yourself as long as its next to me
gonna work this one hard, cause I know sass when I see it
and if you walk out that door, it’ll be with me in a minute.

You say you haven't cleaned your sheets
and the sweats four lovers deep
and two of those young romeo's
are coming back for more next week
but you know I ain't no gentleman
and I’m sure you ain't no saint
and some might heed those warnings
but I sure as hell ain't
So lets both you and I
prove everybody right
and go ahead and fuck this up tonight
They say I'll be your ruin girl
cause your not the sanest type
but we both know just how it goes
when your lovers for a night

Now this is my new love
her name is red
she fills my heart up
long after it's bleed
she's a sensual woman
she likes it deep
gonna keep me company
the rest of this week
cause you can give up on me
but I've got my friends here gonna keep me company
Now this is my best friend
his name is Jack
and he's only happy when
he's knocked me flat on my back
but just as quickly he'll pick me up
when I am down
and put a smile on my face
when inside there is a frown
cause you can give up on me
but I've got my friends here gonna keep me company
Now this is my confidant
she calls those shots
and just when I think I got it straight
she rearranges those dots
Now may be one day
I'm gonna get it right
but I guarantee you all
that won't be tonight
cause you can give up on me
but I've got my friends here gonna keep me company

Drown in it
04:26

It hits you hard and it hits you low
ain't leave you nowhere else to go
Gonna make you feel something you don't want to feel
believe me I know
They'll stick that barb right in your side
scratch up against your ugly pride
gonna make you see some thing you don't want to see
gut you from the inside
Try and shake it off and walk on by but
that's a friend that helped you drown
feel the weight of a thousand lies
but you can't help but stand your ground
Now they'll embrace you in loving arms
that's when the poison’s gonna flow
and that's when you'll die a death you don't need to die
believe me I know
Shadow boxing one and all
backed up against that firing wall
you'll take a left and you'll take a right
but then you'll swing with all your might
the world it ain't, it ain't so kind
you can know the truth but still be blind
and what is left when no one’s right well?
ain't nobody gonna win that fight
They’ll pick you up just to knock you down
They’ll take you swimmin’ just to watch you drown

Baby girl

I killed the only man my daughter ever loved
he beat and kicked her down but thats the last girl that he slugged
cause that same night I walked straight up to his door
and shot him in the face - then twice more to be sure
Nobody hurts my baby girl
Well he could shake my hand
but couldn't look me in the eye
she said he loved her but
I only ever saw him make her cry
Told me he was drunk
and didn't mean to hurt her so
She said “Daddy I forgive him
so please just let him go”
Nobody hurts my baby girl
The Police tried to shake my hand
as they cuffed mine behind my back
and the Judge said he understands
but it still didn't change the fact
I took a shotgun down
and killed him in cold blood
and that yellow son-of-a-bitch
was the one that my daughter loved
Now I'm not asking for forgiveness
so go on look me in that cell
cause I sure as shit don't feel so bad
that I sent him straight to hell
