Devil in the Night

She's my angel in the morning
But she's a devil in the night
Ain't no doubt about it
Lord, she fit me jes' right

There's sugar in my coffee
When I get up out of bed
When I get home from work
There's a pillow for my head

But when the sun starts sinkin low
Her eyes start shinin bright
The fire down below
Starts burnin hot and bright
I never known a woman
Could love me like you do
I never known an Angel
Could do the things you do

When I lay me down at night
My baby by my side
Ain't no doubt about it
Everything gonna be all right

Just Can't Lose

It's in the way that you close your eyes
It's in the way that you tell me lies
It's in the way that you say my name
It's in the way that you lay the blame
It's in the way that your body moves
Lord, it makes me feel like I just can't lose

It's in the way that you come to me
It's in the way that you just can't see
It's in the way that you sing my song
It's in the way that you do me wrong
It's in the way that you bend the rules
Lord, it makes me feel like I just can't lose

It's in the way that you wanna play
It's in the way that you walk away
It's in the way that you scream and shout
It's in the way that you wear me out
It's in the way that you sing the blues
Lord, it makes me feel like I just can't lose

2nd Story

Walkin' up your driveway
I knock upon your door
You grab me by the hand
Take me to the second foor
The picture on your nightstand
Is lyin face down by the phone
The front door slams
Somebody's yellin
"Hey honey, I'm home"
Out the bedroom window
Climbin down the vine
I hear your sweet voice callin'
"Let's do it again some time"

I'm your second story man
Yes I'm your second story man
I never get it right the first time
'Cause I never have a plan
Well I'm your second story man

Well, Your neighbor saw me climbin'
Out your window that fine day
The cops came by my humble home
And they carried me away
At first I didn't tell them
'Bout our little bump and grind
But when I saw that sergeant,
Well she kind of changed my mind
The little lies I told 'em
They didn't sit so well
But when I changed my story, babe
It really went to hell

Ain't no need to worry babe
I'll be out of here real soon
And when I come to see you
Yeah, we'll sing another tune
I'm gonna walk on up your driveway
Knock upon your door
Grab you by the hand
Take you to the second floor
You know I just can't quit you
I'll never break thse chains
If at first I don't succeed
I'm gonna try and try again

Sweet Sweet Jane

Anywhere, anytime
Doesn't matter where you draw the line
I can't find it, but I don't care
It doesn't seem to be here anywhere
I got a feeling you feel the same
I get the feeling when I call your name
Sweet sweet Jane

I don't know but I been told
There's only one for every living soul
I got mine I know that's true
I got mine when I found you
I got this feeling that you feel the same
I get this feeling when I call your name
Sweet sweet Jane

Anytime, anywhere
Call my name I'll be there
Day or night, rain or shine
All my day's, you'll be mine
Yea, I know that you feel the same
Every time I call your name
Sweet sweet Jane

Fade to Grey

The light of day fades to grey
And slips into a quiet shade of night
The only time I feel my mind
Begins to turn the darkness into light
It all comes down to what you choose
What you want, what you'll lose

It's not as easy as it seems
It's really not as hard as it could be
A little glace a second chance
There's always time to see what we can see
It all comes down to what you choose
What you want, what you'll lose

How do we learn which way to turn
You know it when you feel it if it's right
It's all the same, the little games
We hold a little truth just out of sight
It all comes down to what you choose
What you want, what you'll lose

Rain is Fallin'

Rain is fallin from the sky
But it just won't hit the ground
They call this ditch a river
Ain't no water to be found

You say you love me baby
I don't think you do
Just cause you come and tell me
That don't make it true

I'm walkin in the desert baby
Just can't find my way
Not a single soul to call to
So I lay me down to pray

You say you love me baby
But I don't know who you see
I know you think you mean it
I just don't think it's me

Hey Mon

It was one of those nights
Things were not going well
The songs wouldn't come
They just lay where they fell
Nobody listening
Just as well
I needed a break from this hell

I was getting nowhere
Just marking time
When she walked in the bar
And she gave me a sign
She made her point
It was perfectly clear
I could not believe my ears
When she said hey mon, come on

I can't say I thought
It was really that wise
My heart could not take
What was good for my eyes
Whenever I wonder
What went wrong
I hum a few bars of this song,
And say hey mon, come on

Train Wreck, Baby

Riding the rails, running out of track
Live for it now, you're not coming back
You never know how, never know when
You do it once, you'll do it again
It's a train wreck, baby

Can't turn back, can't see the end
You never know what's coming from around the bend
One more step, you're learning to fly
Everything can change in the wink of an eye
It's a train wreck, baby

It don't matter, which way you chose
It don't matter if you win or loose
It's a train wreck, baby

Brand New Day

And when I close my hand
I can't feel when you touch me
And when I close my eyes
I can't see why you love me
And when I close my heart
I feel like I just lose it all
And have to start over again

And I feel
Like I owe it to you
To sing this song

And when I close my arms
I can't feel when you hold me
And when I close my mouth
I can't tell you how I love you
And when I close my mind
I can't think of one good reason
Why I might make it through another day - but I do

But it's a brand new day
The fears of yesterday
Begin to fade away
And the promise of tomorrow
Is that anything is possible

And when you touch my face
I can see that you're with me
And when you touch my heart
I can feel you inside me
And when you touch my soul
I remember ...
I remember

And I feel
Like I owe it to you
To sing this song
