Put On a Show

I was 12 years old when I learned how to die
when the time came to see him, I didn't even cry
I know it's the truth, I won't ever forget
How when you showed me how to play a song
I forgot about death
Now I can't stop, I got something to give
Let me in your dying ears and I will make you want to live
I was 19 years old when I first tried
Freeze the moment, bottle open, eyes shut then wide
Hit me hard in the back like a jar in a bell
The safety seal smiled not one drop fell
You gotta play really hard
You gotta play really loud
You gotta twist & shout, let em know what you're about
awoooo oooh ooh
awoooo ooh ooh ooh ooh
I was 24 years old when I first met you
From two tumbleweeds a garden grew
Took music in my soul like lungs take a breath
How I shook when you showed me
How to defy death
Them thoughts come a creeping like they never have left
But why worry baby when we can strum on this fret?
With our backs to the wall we break out of the cell
Where are we going next? Well, you never can tell.
Chorus
I was 28 years old when we left our home
Made our living making music on the side of the road
Said there's nothing left for us, we might as well go
I will sing, I will play at the tops of my soul
You play the people your guitar & we'll put on a show!
Chorus

Magpie Tree

Underneath the magpie tree
that's where she was kissing me
Holding hands till the break of day
Wouldn't have it any other way
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Rolling in my baby's love
Sent to me from up above
Underneath that Magpie tree
That's the place we had to be
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Sometimes in the shade
sometimes in the sun
Feels like its been finished
when its only just begun
Underneath the Magpie tree
that's where he made love to me
rolling in his riverbed
I'll stay with you until I'm dead
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Underneath the Magpie Tree
that's where she looked into me
Saw my heart was made of gold
Warmed me up and flushed the cold
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Sometimes on the sunny side
sometimes in the shade
without one penny to our names
we somehow got it made
Underneath the Magpie tree
that's the place we'll always be
rolling in your river bed
I'll stay with you until I'm dead
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Underneath the Magpie tree
that's where she was kissing me
Holding hands till the break of day
Wouldn't have it any other way
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh

We go together like a bird and a feather
We go together like fins on a fish
and when we go to see, it's only you & me

Bonnie & Clyde
03:33
|
|||
|
It was a little old town on a mountain top
Oh they'll never see us coming & the river don't stop
We'll make it to the valley in an hour or so
I'll hold the gun, baby you grab the gold
I'll be your Bonnie & you'll be my Clyde
Gonna rob us a bank on the mountainside
Oh I'll be your Bonnie & you'll be my Clyde
Gonna make our escape by the riverside
Gonna make our escape by the riverside
Hounds on the trail take us dead or alive
We'll make it to the coast before the sun goes down
Sheriffs gonna catch us put us in the ground
Bonnie shot first and them boots hit the deck
Fired right back hit me in the neck
And that's as far as the river flows
and that's as far as the story goes
I was your Bonnie & you were my Clyde
Sorry baby they got us by the river side
Sorry baby they got us by the river side

I just stumbled out of bed
dont have my clothes on yet
but I grabbed my ukulele
my husband grabbed his strat
and we played a little song
and we sang a little song
and it goes
You are my sugar
oh oh oh
You are my sugar
oh oh oh
You are my sugar
oh oh
You make everything so sweet
You make everything so sweet
You make everything so sweet
To me
You are my cup of coffee
and death before decaf
You are my sweetened green tea
I see it plainly as
You are my sugar (chorus
You give me a sugar rush
You give me a sugar rush
You give me a sugar rush
You give me a sugar rush
because
Chorus
You make everything so sweet...to me

Oh my darling

Oh my darling
sitting on the window pane.
It's a dreary day outside
We're all staying in, yeah oh
We don't want to catch one of those colds
That you never get over
Oh my darling

Oh my darling
you expecting it to rain?
Oh my darling
Oh my darling
Oh my darling

Rodeo
02:38
|
|||
|
I grab my boots & I'm ready to go
Gonna stomp upon a dirt floor
All the boys tell me take it slow
but this ain't my first rodeo
Ain't the first time a dove done dosi-doed
and this ain't the first horse that I rode
Steady now but don't go slow
This ain't my first rodeo
Horses cows sheep and goats
and others before that I've roped
Well ask me if I've been here before
c'mon, this ain't my first rodeo
It wont be the last one that's for'sho
Cause 8 seconds ain't that long y'know
So don't assume what I know
Cause this ain't my first rodeo!
Barrels and beast big and small
I'm watching speed and sudden falls
I'm calling calves with cat calls
This ain't my first rodeo ya'll
I said take your partner round and round
spin her round onto the ground
ladies its alright let em know
This ain't our first rodeo
1, 2, 3, 4 Oh spin me around for some more
5, 6, 7, 8 Why don't we all celebrate?

Ain't Hopeless
04:37
|
|||
|
Oh no, I ain't hopeless
but I want to know, where all the hope is.
Oh no, I ain't worthless
but I'm curious to know what you think my worth is.
Oh no, I ain't lifeless
like anyone I long to know just what this life is.
Oh no, I ain't Godless.
I'm pretty sure I know, just who God is.
It's only love
so sweet
Hold on to it
with your teeth
Hold on, hold on
to love
Hold on, hold on
before its gone
Oh no, we ain't hopeless
Well, we want to know sometimes where all the hope is.
Oh no, we ain't worthless.
Everyone should know just what their worth is...
Your Priceless!
Oh no, we ain't lifeless.
We all wander around, wondering what this life is.
Oh no, we ain't Godless
You don't have to believe to know who God is
Its only
love--so sweet
Hold on--hold on to it
with your teeth
Hold on, hold on
to love
Hold on, hold on
before its gone.

Take good care of the little ones
Watch out for the little ones
For it is the little ones
They are a part of you
Watch out for the little ones
Take good care of the little ones
Don't ya know its the little ones they make it all go round
(Chorus)
Round and round and round
and round and round and

Keep an eye on the little ones
Take good care of the little ones
Dontcha know its all the little one they make it all come true?
Be real strong for the little ones
Stand up tall for the little ones
Don't ya forget about the little ones they make the world go round
Life is a circle
It goes round and round and round and round
Weren't you little once?
We were once the little ones
Scrawny, pudgy little ones growing up from the ground
We were once the little ones
Now we're having little ones
Remember we were little once? Running all around...
(Chorus)

Warm Tears
02:16
|
|||
|
Like ice on a sad skating rink
cold hearts
a thousand starts
always on the brink
Another frozen expression
caught between the blinks
At the cusp
why can't I grasp
hold out my glove
just to catch
Hold on
Awake till dawn
Crying
Warm tears in sunshine
are all I have to keep me warm
Let it out, roll on down
hurting this way does no harm
Warm tears in sunshine
I'm crying
And time won't tell me nothing
it'll only dry them
Warm tears in sunshine
I'm crying

Today

Today I lost my friend
He's never coming back again.
Never come back to this place
I'll miss your pretty face
We'll meet again
Today I lost my mind
find it on the other side
on the other side of the fence
my heart is on the mend, again, somehow
How how I got
myself in this spot
a thousand times
in one hundred days
It'll be alright
I'll be on my own someday
Today I lost my friend
He's never coming back again
Never come back to this place
I'll miss your pretty face we'll meet again
Today I lost my mind
Today I lost my mind
Today I lost my mind
ooooh oooh oooh oohh
oooo oooh oooh oooaaah
