Two Days in Georgia
 
Two days in Georgia
slowly living slower
poor and growing older
working at the corner store
 
Six days in Florida
catching some alone time
not knowing who I might find
you know lonely don’t cost a dime
 
One month in Georgia
drowning in the tender light
that steals the darkness from your eyes
in this old bed tonight
 
So long Georgia
this time I’ll get it right
only fight the good fights
I’ll keep my lover warm at night
and dream
 
Sittin’ here on a dark swing
got a half a glass of old Jim Beam
I’m sitting here listening to the birds scream
and I wish I had wings
sittin here on a dark swing
got a half a glass of old Jim Beam
I’m sitting here listening to the birds scream
and I wish I had wings
 
I’ve got to leave this town
I’ve got to go far away
I’ve got to leave today
Hey hey hey hey

Trouble
 
Trouble, Oh it’s a funny thing
All my efforts are in vain
I can’t be good
 
You, you wanted me to be that girl
Oh the sweetest girl in the world
But I am trouble baby, trouble baby
 
Trouble, yeah it’s a funny thing
All my efforts are in vain
I can’t be good
You, you wanted me to be that guy,
the guy that wouldn’t make you cry
But I am trouble baby, trouble baby
 
Oh, I got a lot of love for you
but I can’t make your dreams come true
‘cause I’m as free as a bird
 
Trouble, Oh it’s a funny thing
all the pain that it can bring
when you’ve got trouble baby, trouble baby
You, you’ve got some trouble too
There’s nothing that you can do
Oh, but shake it baby
shake it baby
 
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
We’ll lose our troubles baby, troubles baby
At the end of the line
At the end of the line
We’ll sit and sigh
Remember trouble baby, trouble baby

Henry and Alicia
 
Soft-shoe the good news
in the August sun.
Ride away on your bicycles to the places you dream of
 
Travel long and travel well
young Henry and Alicia make the summer swell
with lazy nights and starry heights
you make it easy to tell
 
young love in the summertime
young love is all mine
but growing old with you would be so fun to do
I could tell you a thing or two about love
 
travel long and travel well
young Henry and Alicia make the summer swell
with lazy nights and starry heights
You make it easy to tell
You make it easy to tell
You make it easy to tell
 
 

Let Evening Come
 
Let evening come
let darkness in
let’s buckle down
for summer’s end
 
Let’s hold our breath
until the skies have all gone to gray
and all the pretty July tans have all faded away
well hey hey hey
It’s Fall and I’ve got a lot of letters to write
I’ve got a lot of hellos and good-byes
and we should stay up all night
on the telephone—
Call me when you get home
 
I want to hear what’s going on with you
and all the fun summer things that people do
but I just can’t wait until it’s through
to unpack my bags, I want to
wear my coat and my hat, I want to
free all that’s sad in the changing leaves
Oh please
bring Fall
and all those letters to write
all of those hellos and goodbyes
and we should stay up all night
on the telephone—
Call me when you get home
Call me when you get home
Call me when you get home

Late Night Judy Garland
 
Thank you for the good times
You know, we didn’t do so bad
We made a lot of music
so baby don’t be mad
 
I’m not the girl you’re looking for
‘cause I’m nobody’s bride
I’m taking what I came with
Just like when Tina left Ike
 
You’ll never be big big big time
if your heart is small time
 
You should change your ways babe
‘cause you’ve got a lot of wind
and you could sail a ship babe
through the city and back again
And you can sink a heart babe,
but it’ll never be mine
cause I’m writing you out now
with every chord and every line
 
You’ll never be big big big time
if your heart is small time
You’ll never be big big big time
if your heart is small time

The Castles at My Feet
 
Hey Vin
I’m a singer
In a rock-n-roll band
and all my nights are high notes
that wonder where you’ve been
 
You know I quit drinking whiskey
And smoking cigarettes
I’ve got about a hundred dollars
But only one regret—
 
Remember Santa Cruz
and the castles at my feet
remember driving through the city
holding hands between the seats
 
I’m free to walk the world now
Like a sea bird in his saving grace
‘Cause I took all our years of kisses
And I set ‘em free in the Jersey rain
 
Remember Santa Cruz
and the castles at my feet
remember driving through the city
holding hands between the seats
Remember Santa Cruz
and the castles at my feet
remember driving through the city
holding hands between the seats
 
Well I don’t live on the ocean
but my folks aren’t far away
I’m still working on that poem
I hope I finish it one day

The Beast
 
Bring me two cold pillows for the floor
and please letters don’t send those letters anymore
You left the frame hanging in the lonely door
Bring me two cold pillows for the floor
 
I feel as though loneliness at times
would eat me through the bone
the way an ocean wave can break a boat
tonight I don’t want to go home
 
Make the pain of drinking go away
bring back the years I drank away your name
I’m on all fours like a beast home from war
Bring me two cold pillows for the floor
 
There’s a fever in these backwoods trees that warns me of my end
and what would it be like to have you back again
The open book has your name across the page
And all I can I do is say, hey—
 
Make the hurt of living go away
and bring back the love, that wants to stay
I’m on all fours like a beast home from war
with two cold pillows for the floor
 
I’m on all fours like a beast home from to war
Bring me two cold pillows for the floor

Hennessy & Fireflies
 
I break and break and break
To live and love again

Oh Tonight

In your eyes the twilight is born
In your eyes, two ships from the shore
You are mine, you are mine tonight
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes—
Oh these deep hours,
they anchor your eyes
and my desire
refrains from the crime
and it’s too late to reconcile
how the winter stars are sewn in my smile
how the winter stars are sewn in my smile
 
But tonight, you’re in my arms
Oh tonight, you’re in my arms
Oh I, I could fall
Oh I, I could fall—
 
A body wishes to be held
to be held until it falls
and a great strength is all that’s left
to be held
and that is all
 
Well I want
to sing your name
and solitude ain’t no place for me
and your, your arms agree
and your, your arms agree
oh yeah
 
that tonight you’re in my arms
Oh tonight, you’re in my arms
Oh I, I could fall
Oh I, I could fall
 
Into some kind of love with you-
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
Into some kind of love with you
