I Just Started to Cry

We ran through the summer night
it was hot and it was black
we ran until we were all alone
and didn’t even know the way back

We were young
we were in love
that summer we were one
when I look back I start to cry
to think of what is gone

A storm came up from the south real fast
and lightning lit the rain
I looked in her eyes for a moment
and then it was dark again

Our hands entwined and then our tongues
we were soaking wet
we made our way to the old Hansen barn
and there our souls met

I woke up the next morning
and she slept by my side
the sunlight poured through the hayloft door
and I just started to cry

I cried cause she looked so pretty lying there
I cried because I loved her so
I cried cause I knew she was the only one
and I cried cause I knew I was gonna go

Baby Said

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

B A B Y S A I D

baby said she’d love me
she’d always stand beside me
baby lied . . . but that’s all right
baby said forever
baby said never say goodby
she left that night

baby said a lot of things a
fool wouldn’t buy
she got caught a thousand times
I sorta let it slide
baby said she loved me
I think she thought she did
baby said a lot of things
she was such a crazy kid…

baby said honey
you ain’t got no money
I like that so
my old man’s made of loot
and it don’t buy no truth
and Baby knows

baby said save me
sometimes I think I’m crazy
She’d say anything–even the truth
But once you surrendered
it really was forever and
there wouldn’t be nothing anyone could ever do

baby said she’d love me
she’d always stand beside me
baby lied . . . but that’s all right
baby said forever
baby said never say goodby
she left that night

baby said a lot of things a
fool wouldn’t buy
she got caught a thousand times
I sorta let it slide
baby said she loved me
I think she thought she did
baby said a lot of things
she was such a crazy kid…

Dimmer

Turn Your Dimmer Down Low

Wake up baby, turn your dimmer lights down low (2)
When it gets yellow like this it hurts my eyes
but it eases my soul

Come here baby pay those monkeys in the shadows no mind (2)
Those monkeys are my demons — they been waitin for me such a long time

I been down — but it never looked like up to me (2)
I been down I guess it just aint what it used to be

Angel in the Bottle

Angel in the Bottle

There’s an angel
in the bottle
but the devil’s still alive
inside of me

I’m sitting
here in limbo
got my whole life
in back of me

Baby I thought
I’d be the one to save you
but I never dreamed
I couldn’t save myself

Well theres one thing
that by now is plain
through these forty years
of life death and change

There’s something broken
down inside of me
deep down inside, you see
I got this pain-

There’s Always Trouble

THERE’S ALWAYS TROUBLE (In a Fool’s Paradise)
(C) 1990, TK Major

9/7/90

There’s always trouble in a fool’s paradise
There’s always trouble but the fool don’t realize

Trouble comes knocking just whenever trouble wants
trouble knock down your front door and take everything you got

[ch] There’s always trouble but the fool don’t realize
there’s always trouble in a fool’s paradise

There’s always suffering, plenty to go around
but give it to some other guy, on some other side of town

I don’t know my neighbors and they seem nice enuff
but if the Insane Crips come and blow them away

it  makes it tough to maintain my bluff

[ch]

Trouble stay out of my backyard I can pretend it don’t exist
sure enough I feel real bad for that poor fool the trouble hits

but it really aint none of my affair I fold the paper away
cause I sure enough know I don’t wanta read bout
the trouble (clearly) headed thisa way (comin any day)

[ch]

Theres always turmoil in the heart of Babylon
but you go where the gold is and the rest just tag along
theres always loserrs in the race to stay alive
theres always casualties but sometimes the strong survive

A Star is Bored

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

A STAR IS BORED

A star is bored
prowling empty hotel hallways
He’s never alone
so how come he’s always lonely

Nothing brings him down
it’s all just the same
(he’s singin’) “If you think you’re bored,
then you should see me!”

Down in the bar
leaning into a smokey corner
trying not to catch her eye
(she says) “Hey, cowboy, why you dressed like that?”

And it always seems to
go down about the same
kills a couple of hours
but it don’t kill the pain

Tell him a story
– make it long, make it lonely
star-struck summer nights
moon on’a river run through everything

Nothing makes much sense
but he guesses that’s just life
Ya play a few songs (tunes)
and then they turn out the lights

nothing makes much sense
but he guesses that’s just life
you have a couple of laughs
and then you call it a night

And the Company Says

And the Company Says

You walk into town
and you look all around
and it doesn’t take long
to see that something is wrong
very wrong

the people stand around
with their eyes on the ground
it doesn’t take long . . .

and the Company sez
it’s a company town
now, if you don’t like that
don’t ya hang around

and the Company says
it’s a company town
if you don’t like that
sell a penny on the pound
(now give ‘way)

One man stands
says I won’t run
but the goons come around
with their clubs and guns

and they knock him down
and they kick him around
and they drag his body
to the edge of town

and the company says
he’s better off dead
than fightin’ with us

and the comapny says
it’s a company town
if you dont like that
we’ll put you in the ground

rpt 1st verse

and the Company sez

now, if you don’t like that

Angel’s Vacation

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

ANGEL’S VACATION

He tried to do what was right
but it always turned out wrong
the heavenly host were not impressed
and he had to blow out of town

he came to earth near Phoenix
in the middle of summertime
he walked to the first bar he saw
and ordered whiskey, beer, and wine

[] An angel came down from heaven
hoping to get away [to clear his name]
he stewed in the hotel bar all night
and baked by the pool all day

He pushed the desk clerk to a breakdown (breakdown breakdown)
and drove the other guests away
he punched out the hotel detective (–tective –tective)
and ran off with the pretty dark eyed maid

They laid out on the lam for 40 days and nights
and on the 41st they had to rest
the pretty dark eyed maid was all worn out
and the angel was scared to death

he knew they’d have no trouble tracking him down
angels have this certain glow
and when they said it was time to leave
Buddy, then it’s time to go

An angel came down from heaven
hoping to get away
he stewed in the hotel bar all night
and baked by the pool all day

Another Dead Soldier (in My War on Alcohol)

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

ANOTHER DEAD SOLDIER (IN THE WAR ON ALCOHOL)

Woke up this morning
wondering about last night
kinda think I coulda took some drink
but my memory just don’t serve me right

Now the last thing I remember
You were walking out the door
My hand reached for the bottle
and then there ain’t no more

Just another dead soldier
in the war on alcohol
put him with his brothers
line ’em up against the wall

Just another dead soldier
in my war on alcohol
I won’t be satisfied
til I’ve killed them all

I lay awake at night, baby
but it ain’t because of you
I’m just listening to the plaster crack
and the clock tick in the next guy’s room

You’re just a blue recollection
but that ain’t nothing new
I’m gonna drown than memory
it’ll be the last thing that I do
