Tomorrow's All We Have
I know a man across town say's there's no reason to stay
Left on a walkabout and wound up in the same place
There's a girl down the street say's there's no reason to go
With those chains 'round her feet how could she know
Crushed pennies and truckstop key chains and postcards in the mail
You'll get at the holidays- tell your mama I'm wishing her well
I'm tired of sleeping around trying to kiss you off my mind
Kick me out when I'm down for a good time
Then Monday comes around
Dragging Tuesday and Wednesday all over town
To watch Thursday bring 'round Friday's blues
Saturday's all right 'til we run into a sad Sunday night
And tomorrow's all we have to lose
Sweating out last night's mistakes
With nothing to hold to help with the shakes
If you could only see how your leaving's leaving me
You'd see how the poor heart breaks
Then Monday comes around
Dragging Tuesday and Wednesday all over town
To watch Thursday bring 'round Friday's blues
Saturday's all right 'til we run into a sad Sunday night
And tomorrow's all we have to lose
Saturday's all right 'til we run into a sad Sunday night
And tomorrow's all we have to lose

Take It Slow
I've been holding on to this pillow like it might start breathing any one of these nights
Holding our for something I once read about could cause a man to die
If he turned out fool enough to let it go
When he ought to know to hold on tight
I'm holding on to this pillow like there's half the chance it could save my life
Don't you let her walk away
She'll weigh heavy on your mind- I should know
Don't push her out the door thinking she'll come back some day
Take it slow, take it slow
I've been calling out in the darkness like there's someone there to hear a pityful cry
Calling this thing nothing more than what it is, the levied heavy price
For living like I had the chance to have it all
When the better call was flying right
I've been calling out in the darkness like she'll answer back one last time
Don't you let her walk away
She'll weigh heavy on your mind- I should know
Don't push her out the door thinking she'll come back some day
Take it slow, take it slow
Don't dare believe you're doing right
When you leave her all alone
To wonder where you lay your head at night
When the only love you've known is waiting wishing you'd come home
Don't you let her walk away
She'll weigh heavy on your mind- I should know
Don't push her out the door thinking she'll come back some day
Take it slow, take it slow
Take it slow, take it slow
Take it slow, take it

Getaway
I've been thinking about quitting
But I don't know what to do with my hands
And I can't help believing the devil might be needing
Help executing his plans
Don't you ever need to get away
To some nowhere place on noone's map
Where lonely hearts can stay
Don't you ever need to get away
I used to think it'd kill me
Until I learned it only breaks you down
Failed to heed the warnings, sacrificed my mornings
Telling half truths about the substance and the sound
Don't you ever need to get away
To some nowhere place on noone's map
Where lonely hearts can stay
Don't you ever need to get away
I used to be a singer in this tragic rambling show
On the move to find a place to go
Holding close my lover in the notes and in between
Finding out our love was just a dream
Don't you ever need to get away
To some nowhere place on noone's map
Where lonely hearts can stay
Don't you ever need to get away
I've been thinking about quitting
But I don't know what to do with my hands

Sunshine
She wakes up again to a cigarette and calls a friend to
Pick her up and take her home
Somehow it doesn't seem right to leave
And stay out all night just to wake up all alone
She says that she don't care that they don't care
And she's just there to have some company
She puts her make-up on and smiles to the sound
Of some sad song while she's trying not to see
Singing Ooo love me love me
Kiss me hold me take care of me
Make me feel like I might
Be worth a little bit of your time
Rain don't make me sad
I just wish I only had
A little sunshine in my life
When night comes 'round there's a Spot
They all go down to have a drink or two
She's got her best dress on and forgets
She might be wrong to think what he's telling her is true
He swears they'll be a time sometime it'll be alright
And he'll be there in the end
She's still aware dancing with his hands in her hair
She'll wake up all alone again
Singing Ooo love me love me
Kiss me hold me take care of me
Make me feel like I might
Be worth a little bit of your time
Rain don't make me sad
I just wish I only had
A little sunshine in my life
Singing Ooo love me love me
Kiss me hold me take care of me
Make me feel like I might
Be worth a little bit of your time
Rain don't make me sad
I just wish I only had
A little sunshine in my life

California Shakes
With her boxes in the back
"The Waiting" on the radio
She said this ol' town's a heart attack
And went driving toward a better home
"I've never been out east
It's high time I should go"
San Francisco stopped to watch her leave
Her heart set on another coast
California shakes
And worries the night away
Cries out for heaven's sake
Don't leave me here alone
Now Carolina's gone
There's weather on the plains
An other things that she can't change
Because she'd will it so
California shakes
And worries the night away
Cries out for heaven's sake
Don't leave me here alone
California shakes
And worries the night away
Cries out for heaven's sake
Don't leave me here alone
Now Carolina's gone
Now Carolina's gone
Now Carolina's gone
