This Old House - "Without You"

Verse 1
Waking up with you
Is the best thing that I do
It’s you I want here by my side
& as I lay awake
& chase these dreams away
Is this our dream or just my own?

Chorus
Cause this old house was built for two
I don't have nothing else to prove
What more can I say to you
Cause this old heart was built for you

Verse 2
I tell myself today
That I’m not gonna stay
But it’s no use I know my heart
So I lay down again
& breath this feeling in
I close my eyes, I just let go

Control - "Mi Casa Su Casa"
 
Taken everything I know
Taken everything I know
But I tell myself that I have to try
But I don't know how & I don't know why
But there's something that is keeping me alone
 
I've done everything I can
I've done everything I can
But still I wake in the middle of the night
With cold in my head & sweat in my eyes
Cause there's something that will not let me go
 
Given everything I have
I've Given everything I have
But still I toss & I turn at night
Cause there's something about this that just isn't right
& it will always be a matter of Control

Only A Fool - "Lordy, Lordy, Lordy"

Have I been kind? 
Have I done everything I could?
To ease your mind
For you
For you
 
Or have I been blind?
Thoughtless actions, insincere
All this time
To you
To you
 
Chorus:
Come back to me, set me free
Yes I was a fool, but please forgive me
Let's turn these tears, into wine
Cause only a fool, would treat you unkind
 
Have I been blind?
To the thoughts of other men
All this time
To you
To you

Poison Tree - "The Real Country Dark"

Once upon a time ago
Lived a boy
Lived alone on a wooden hill
Taking on his troubles once again

Looks out on a golden sea
Looks out on a world that he
Used to know but now he's missing
Taking on his troubles once again

Chorus:
Eats the fruit from a poison tree
Used to know what he wants to be
Now he don't know anything
One more time
He says 'one more time'
But there's no more time at all

"I don't what's happening
I just know where I should be
Somewhere else, but no one's listening
Taking on my troubles once again"

Trouble - "The Real Country Dark"

When I woke up this morning
On the seventeenth day
I fell out of bed early
Fell down on my knees to pray
I said "father in heaven, won't you listen to me
I got something on my mind, something's troubling me"

Well I waited for an answer
But it wasn't forthcoming
So I picked myself up & I got myself a gun
& I went to the store
Where they sell the dvd's
& the salesman said
"What you looking at me for?"

Well I shot that man
With my loaded gun
& the jailer came
A charge of murder one
& when I went to the judge
Just to state my side
I said "yes I killed that man,
but that man he had to die"

Cause I had
Trouble all on my mind

You see I work all day
On the factory floor
Just to make my money
Just to keep my home
& when I came home early
From my shift that night
I found my wife in bed
With that salesman guy

Well the judgement came
& I was sentenced to life
Now I spend my time on the chaingang line
& when people ask me
What you doin' time for
I say "trouble on my mind
Was the reason for my fall"

Cause I had
Trouble all on my mind

Said I tried honey, but there's noone out there anymore
I know you think that's funny, but you're not working anymore
& I know you think that it hurts me more & more
But I don't mind much

Now you're looking for the answers to the questions
that I been asking for a reason
& I know that you think it hurts us more & more
But I don't mind much

Because it keeps us coming
& it keeps us running
Cause our love is all too much

Now you're looking for a reason, to keep from running
Well I'm just looking for some meaning
& I know that you think it hurts us more & more
But I don't mind much

Because it keeps us coming
& it keeps us running
Cause our love is all too much
