(chorus)
Mary Lou, Mary Lou
can't you hear me calling out to you?
I know you're far away, but I just want to hear you say
that you love me too, Mary Lou
(guitar solo)
Do you remember the county fair,
where we met on that warm summer night?
You said you'd stay by my side
but then you left, didn't say goodbye
now my arms ain't holdin you tight
(chorus)
(guitar solo)
I saw you walkin down the street
with another man arm in arm.
Tell me, was he always there?
No wait don't tell me I don't care
Just let 'em send me off to the farm
(chorus)
(bass solo)
Maybe there's no hope for me now
I'll just pack my things and leave town today.
But if you should look behind
and it makes you wanna change your mind
I won't let nothin stand in our way

My Favorite Color's Blue
03:28
|

Well I used to wear the brightest shades of red that I could find
Maybe a splash of orange to match the sunshine in my mind
But that all changed one day after a brief phone call with you
Oh ever since that day, seems like my favorite color's blue
(chorus)
Since I lost you
My favorite color's blue
It's all I wear anymore
Since I lost you
My favorite color's blue
To match the teardrops on my floor
Oh these days all I see is green like a vault inside a bank
Just a jealous rage building up in me, I’m nothin but a crank
Maybe I’ll see other colors again, if you're ever off my mind
If I'm ever able to shake it off and leave these blues behind
(chorus)
(guitar solo)
I guess I'll just indigo away, since I ain't got the nerve to fight,
you might say that makes me yellow and I might say that you're right.
I hope that I can live in technicolor again some later day,
but until that happens it seems like all my skies are gray
(chorus)

Quite Like Us
03:16
|

|
Take my hand
and you will see
Nobody loves you
quite like me
I will love you
my whole life through
'Cause nobody thrills me
quite like you
I know there are millions of people
all over the world
But none of them are quite like us
Quite like you and me girl
(guitar solo)
I know there are millions of people
all over the world
But none of them are quite like us
Quite like you and me girl
Take my hand
and you will see
Nobody loves you
quite like me
I will love you
my whole life through
'Cause nobody thrills me
quite like you

Fire

Oh I miss your smile and I miss your true love ways
And I miss how you can make me forget my cares
Oh I'm counting down every night and day
My patience worn as thin as my hair
(chorus)
Oh won't you tell the warden to cut me a little break
Even hard luck men like me can feel heart ache
Don't need exonerated or let out on parole
I just want out for one night so I can see you and reignite
The fire in my soul
Well I don’t know if you even miss me still
I haven’t had a letter come since June
I’m writing this cause I got guts to spill
And so many tears my face is like a prune
(chorus)
Well I’ve kicked around the thought of breaking out
But it’s never come to be a foolproof plan
So I’ll just stay here where there ain’t any doubt
And I’ll never have to know if you’ve got another man
(chorus)

Keep Me 'Round
04:33
|
|||
|
Hey come on down and have a drink
I hear you're back in town
You can tell me everything you think
And we'll drink until we drown
Playing catch-up like old army men
Remembering the war
But ours wasn't one of armaments
Just words and so much more
(chorus) Well I guess I haven't changed, I guess I'm still the man you left behind
I guess I'm still the same, even after passing all this time
But I bet you're someone new, even smarter than you were before
There wasn't nothing you couldn't do, you could find the key to any door
but I hope that you still wanna keep me ‘round
Remember on hot summer nights
when the world had gone to bed?
And we’d carry on with another fight
cause of something in my head?
But when the heat had died back down
we were still both standing there
And here we are back in this town
trying to bring ourselves to care
(chorus)
(Bridge) But I’m still lost and I’m still a mess
And I still don’t really know how to dress
And I still don’t feel like a full-grown man
Feel like a little boy who could fit in your hand
Well it’s mostly burned down battlefields
back in our rearviews now
We coulda used less swords and used less shields
if only we’d have known how
Oh I could make you empty promises
but I don’t wanna break my own heart
It’s so clear now what the problem is
if only we knew from the start
(chorus)
