"Come On Over" (Chris Schelske) Lately I've been goin' crazy I can't seem to find a way to make it go I feel so jaded What's come over me I'll never know But the sun comes up And I drive a truck to work I stumble through the day My boss thinks I'm a crook And I'm thinkin' things might be all right, if you could Come on over Come on over Come on over tonight I woke up with another hangover I stayed up way too late, it's a big old shame It's not this mainly I wake up every day feelin' just the same Because I played all night in a rockin' rollin' band I slip the sunglasses on God, I hope you understand And I'm thinkin' things are gonna be just fine, if you could Come on over Come on over Come on over tonight If there ever was a time it should be now Let's stop and turn this train around Well I got to wonderin' Just how my life got so out of control From out of nowhere Standin' right outside on my front porch And when I saw your face Spread peace all around And there was nothin' on this earth That could ever bring me down And I'm thinkin' things are gonna be just fine, now that you've Come on over Come on over Come on over tonight Come on over tonight "Arizona Skies" (Chris Schelske) Throw my heart in the river Let it drift on out to sea It doesn't feel very good anymore Have to wash myself free So get us out of here, far away as we can be 'Cause I don't care no more, long as you are there with me Have no worries, you've got a place to hide 's what you've always said to me And open up your hand and hold mine inside Take the air that I breathe But get us out of here, far away as we can be 'Cause I don't care no more, long as you are there with me Pack our things, and we'll leave in the mornin' Head for Arizona skies Lose ourselves in the desert tonight You got no need to ask me why So get us out of here, far away as we can be 'Cause I don't care no more, long as you are there with me But get us out of here, far away as we can be 'Cause I don't care no more, long as you are there with me "What Would You Do" (Willy Braun) What would you do If I said I love you You might just wake up and see What your eyes won't let you believe Ah but you don't expect it from me Where does the time go It seems we just met And what would my mind know Without regret It's been a long time a-comin' Guess I let it slip through But what would you do If I said I love you You might just wake up and see What your eyes won't let you believe But you don't expect it from me, oh no How does our love grow As we drift apart And how long has that dove flown In search of your heart? Guess I took it for granted I guess I thought you just knew But what would you do If I said I love you You might just break down and cry You might just say your goodbye But maybe, you'd wake up and see What your eyes won't let you believe Ah but you don't expect it from me No, you don't expect it from me "Lonely All the Time" (Willy Braun) You don't want to see me, you're not into wastin' time You think I won't, but believe me, I'll stand right by your side And if you go you'll never know a love from a heart like mine But baby you don't have to be lonely all the time You're thinkin' hard 'bout the complications, scared of what the future might bring Well maybe baby you should stop pointin' fingers, find out if the finger fits the ring And if you stay your heart'll lead the way to a love that you can't deny But baby you don't have to be lonely all the time I don't wanna see you headin' down that lonesome road It is certain but the ride is awful slow You're workin' hard for your picket fences and your two point three Well I'm a little reckless but I don't mind fences, if the gate swings free Through the gate lies a garden that grows full of love from a heart like mine But baby you don't have to be lonely, Lonely all the time Lonely all the time Lonely all the time Lonely all the time "Little Mama" (Willy Braun) I don't think you know me Not like you think you do 'cause girl, if you knew me You know I'd know as much as you You think you're so ahead of the game But I know it ain't true You better get your feet on the ground, little mama Or what're you gonna do When you're lonely and blue When you're lonely and blue You woke up screamin' All alone and confused But I was lyin' beside you Not knowin' what I should do I think you could've called out my name You wouldn't need an excuse You better put your guard down, little mama Or what're you gonna do When you're lonely and blue When you're lonely and blue You got the wrong idea, baby Thought you had nothin' to lose But you walked down the wrong path, honey When the time came to choose I guess you wouldn't know right from wrong Or a lie from the truth You better get your head in the game, little mama Or what're you gonna do When you're lonely and blue When you're lonely and blue So blue, oh You're so blue, oooh Are you so blue, baby? "Hard Fight to Win" (Willy Braun, Angelo) You can say it's all my fault And I can blame it on you We can beat this horse all night if you want to We can talk in circles, baby We can drive it to the ground But it'd sure be nice if we could Work it out 'Cause it's a hard fight to win Our backs up to the wall You won't break and I won't bend Don't that just beat all? 'Cause it's a hard fight to win Come morning I was so far gone But I think all night about it Try to reach you on a truck stop telephone Maybe we can work it out So we don't have to shout it I just hope I find you home alone 'Cause it's a hard fight to win Our backs up to the wall But you won't break and I won't bend Don't that just beat all? 'Cause it's a hard fight to win Let it out easy Or let it out slow Or this could be the end of it, before we know. (now. no.) Ain't it a hard fight to win When our backs up to the wall But you won't break and I won't bend Don't that just beat all? Babe, it's a hard fight to win And our backs up to the wall But you won't break and I won't bend Don't that just beat all? 'Cause it's a hard fight to win "Walk Out Now" (Willy Braun) If you walk out on me now just remember that I'm a stubborn son of a bitch and you won't be welcome back I won't eat my pride for you If you know me like I think you do, you must know that I'll cut you no slack Even if I need you Even if I am blue 'Cause you should know that I won't bow to you I won't kiss your ass like you want me to If you won't put your trust and faith in me Do you realize what the fate might be I won't back down If you walk out now Walk out now You try and tell me I'm the one- the one responsible for all your little problems You say you feel the time has come We both know it's not my fault when the time's come for you to come back crawlin' and I've got some words of wisdom for you: Do unto others as you've had done to you And you should know that I won't bow to you I won't kiss your ass like you want me to If you won't put your trust and faith in me Do you realize what the fate might be But I won't back down If you walk out now Walk out now "Torn Up" (Willy Braun) From Milton to Chelsea I've learned a lot Some I still have, and some I ain't got Well there's one thing I learned and it still rings true Well there's nothing more lonely than lonely for you Now I'm torn up inside (torn up inside) Torn up inside (torn up inside) Torn up inside, baby (torn up inside) Torn up inside Torn up inside over you (over you) Well I never knew love until I met you I thought I did once, but that was a fluke Ah, you come along, and you stole my heart Well your huggin and kissin', it tore it apart Now I'm torn up inside (torn up inside) Torn up inside (torn up inside) Torn up inside, baby (torn up inside) Torn up inside Torn up inside over you (over you) I never wined and dined you I never showed you the world I knew that all you wanted were those three little words You didn't want money You didn't need jewels You just wanted love And I phucked that up, too And now I'm torn up inside (torn up inside) Torn up inside (torn up inside) Torn up inside, baby (torn up inside) Torn up inside Torn up inside over you (over you) "Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah" (Willy Braun) (All right, kids, uh, I don't really know what you guys are going to think of this. It's, umm, maybe a bit. OFF THE WALL, uhh? Fictional. So. uh, you may not like it, but you'll find it amusing, at... at least.) Well it sure didn't take too long I woke up one mornin', she was gone And the note that she wrote didn't say "Dear John" It said, "Goodbye, sucker, I'm gone!" She was a home-grown mountain girl Raised in a different world I was a wanna-be rocker, she was more into Merle And I couldn't see it just wouldn't work And now I'm double fisting longnecks and grapefruit and Stoli But I'm never gettin' over Jolie Well I pulled myself in my car I drove it on down to the bar But they wouldn't let me in, 'cause I ain't a movie star So I went to the Horseshoe on Lamar The bouncer threw me out at two And I didn't know what to do So I picked up the phone and I called guess who But the call block wouldn't let me through And now I'm wishin' for some drugs Or a shrink to console me But I'm never gettin' over Jolie Well I gathered up all of my guns And a pipe bomb just for fun And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn She's right, I always was a crazy one Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me He said, Calm down, would you like a drink? And then I shot him full of holes from his nose to his knees And I polished off my little sweet pea And now I'm cryin' on my knees, feelin' dirty and unholy But I'm never gettin' over Jolie Now I'll prob'ly get life and serve at least forty But I'm never gettin' over Jolie "Alice White" (by Willy Braun) I took my lovely Alice White Up on the mountain top last night I picked her up there at the station She never reached her destination Pulled out my pistol and I shot her down She ran out on me Me and the boys, we all agreed Yeah, Alice, you were always there for me The sun was goin' down We finished off another round Red everywhere, red all around I threw her body on the ground Pulled out my pistol and I shot her down She ran out on me I shot her down, I shot her down now Me and the boys, we all agreed Hey Alice, you were always there for me We had a real good time She treated me so kind She just gets better with time Oh, Alice. what a fine red wine! I pulled out my pistol and I shot her down She ran out on me I shot her down, I shot her down Me and the boys, we all agreed Old Alice, she was always good to me Yeah, pulled out my pistol and I shot her down She walked out on me Shot her down, shot her down, shot her down now Me and the boys, we all agreed Hey Alice, you were always there for me (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
