Crow Country 03:47
Woke up in the middle of the night last night Was it you Do you need me Lookin out the window at the silver light Of the moon Can you see me Ooo darling where’d you go That I cannot follow Ooo I need to know If you’re in Crow Country Look at you lying in your lonely bed With your face To the ceiling So little separates the living and the dead And there’s a place For this feeling Ooo somewhere inbetween where the sun and sky meets Ooo a valley of dreams Just come and find me Crow Country Where the grass is green Crow Country And the horses sing Crow Country With the wind in your hair You will find me there In Crow Country Love it ain’t like how they said it was It doesn’t end Even when it’s over And nothing ever come between the two of us And even death is a four leaf clover Ooo Everybody here at the table Crow Country Where the grass is green Crow Country And the horses sing Crow Country And the whitewater's blue I will wait for you In Crow Country Crow Country Every good thing is to be found there

Soft as a cactus Hard as a Rubik’s cube I was out of practice Didn’t seem to matter to you Like a houseplant facing away from the window You turned me around And I got a good feeling For once in my life I got a good feeling This is gonna be alright I felt like giving up I did not give a fuck But I got a good feeling I was on an alien planet Population one When you showed up Babe you set your phaser to stun I pointed to a dark part of the sky And I could tell you understood And I got a good feeling For once in my life I got a good feeling This’ll be alright I used to want to be alone Now I want to be at home I got a good feeling And honestly The best part of me Is underneath And hard to see But you took the time You took the time You took the time Soft as a cactus Hard as a Rubik’s cube I found a couple patches Think I’ll try and fix the tubes It’s a pretty nice day To get out the bikes We could ride through the neighborhood I got a good feeling I got a good feeling I got a good feeling

Papercuts 03:57
I want you I miss you I need you honey I am the man who was meant to be your lover I hate you Don’t ever want to see you again And if I do I will make like I don’t know you It’s all or nothing with me baby And I won’t ever let you love me Giving myself papercuts Making wings to fly me to you Now I know no folded dreams Can make for me a way to be with you You’re not my keepsake I’m not your property So don’t bother me Girl I don’t really want you around It’s only love, honey It’s just a foolish thing And no it’s never really worth the suffering Oh but don’t you love me baby If only you would love me now I’m Giving myself papercuts Making wings to fly me to you Now I know no folded dreams Can make for me a way to be with you It’s already one in the morning It’s too late for you to go home Don’t you think? Do you think that you could stay here? And will you whisper little words of welcome And glad tidings, lie beside me? Or will my love sleep alone again? Giving myself papercuts Making wings to fly me to you Now I know no folded dreams Can make for me a way to be with you With you

Plaid Pajamas Coke and rum I’m in your favorite recliner With my feet up on the ottoman Looking back I could feel it From the start You were always there Like the blood Pumping through my heart Oh but the signs they all said go And when you find out let me know What’s wrong with us Making paper airplanes Rubberband guns Laughing right out loud And I wasn’t the only one And if I might remind you There was a time The you and I were friends Runnin from the scene of the crime Oh And what if everyone is doing the best they can? And what if everyone is doing the best they can? It’s what’s wrong with us It’s what’s wrong with us It’s what’s wrong with us It’s what’s wrong with us What’s wrong with us What’s wrong with us What’s wrong with us What’s wrong with us

Now I once thought that I was strong Like Samson with his hair down long That I could find my own way home But my Jesus took my breath away Oh blessed be that holy day Blessed be that day when I was saved He my rock foundation And like Saul on the road to Damascus town It was the light that struck me down And cried out in my sorrow Oh God Oh God And He took me right there by the hand And said to hold on if I can Oh blessed be that day when I was saved But then He held on anyway Carry me I said He’s the good shepherd Walk beside me don’t let me go Oh to know that love of Jesus What would I give to please him Some might not know what I mean But the day I gave Him everything That was the first day I was free Bittersweet Bittersweet Oh but the sweetest breath er breathed on me That day he changed my name and I was saved Carry me I said He’s the good shepherd Walk beside me don’t let me go Oh to know that love of Jesus What would I give to please him Carry me Walk beside me don’t let me go Oh to know that love of Jesus What would I give to please him Blessed be that day when I was saved

Christmas Rain Christmas Rain No doubt about it it's comin down Got just one present under my tree Somebody went and bought it for me Don't know who but I got a good guess Think it might be the girl who used to love me best Some folks say I got a way Of turnin pretty diamonds into coal I got this wrapped up box of black rocks I got this head chalk full of sad thoughts Oh Thinkin about you lookin out at that Christmas Rain Christmas Rain Comin down hard on my window pane Nothin will make you feel more down Than when all your friends go out of town Everybody with their family Oh everybody but me Went outside, put up the lights Thought that might Make it just a little more merry But all I'm thinkin about Is how we used to sing our favorite Christmas carols In harmony Christmas Rain Christmas Rain Fa la la la la it's been rainin all day When I was a kid well it used to snow Now I am older and it doesn't no more Cold rain fallin but it won't turn white And I'm missing your Christmas kiss tonight Some folks say I got a way Of turnin pretty diamonds into coal I don't know why this is Wisemen won't you come and tell me What to do instead What to do instead Christmas Rain Christmas Rain Thought it'd be different this year But it's comin down again Christmas Rain Christmas Rain

Could I put a little song in your cup A little somethin to cheer you up It's just a mighty hard row to hoe You sing a song with a shakey voice And those pretty people say You seem nice to hear But the words are all the same To every song I sing A hundred ways to say I don't know anything But I got a winning ticket For the tri state lottery And I'm goin down to Nashville Tennessee I think I'll start me a barre chord band Get into something I can understand It's just a one four five Can't think of nuthin better to do It's either writin songs Or sniffin glue It don't make much sense But I paid my rent again And my prophet And my scientist They fight like hell Oh come oh come oh come oh come Emmanuel But I got a winning ticket For the tri state lottery And I'm goin down to Nashville Tennessee And you can share my blanket sometimes But then I gotta sleep alone Those tumbleweeds don't have no home They just blow and blow and blow But I got a winning ticket For the tri state lottery And I'm goin down to Nashville Tennessee Oh it hurts unto my soul Oh it hurts unto my soul Oh it hurts unto my soul It's just a mighty hard row to hoe It's just a mighty hard row to hoe

Moon River 02:19
Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me
