some people think that I'm a big 'ol pushover
my children think that I just can't say no
I got a big ol heart and I got a bil ol smile to match it
I once heard I've got glitter in my soul
Well I cry at movies way too often
don't give myself a break most days
open my arms to anyone in need
I'll lend an ear, I'll lend ya money,
lend a laugh, help you think you're funny
but when I say No, oh that's what I mean
So, no Joe, you gotta blow
take your privilege and go
up the creek without a paddle
your high horse has lost its saddle
screw is stripped, your sail is shipped
n-o, n-o, n-o, n-o, no
n-o, n-o, n-o, n-o, no
No No No
well I've been comin here for years
the waitress knows my every pain
I see you're interested in me, and I thank you for the drink
but a simple conversation doesn't say
"Oh baby! Take me home!"
Who raised you anyway!?
So, no Joe, you gotta blow
take your privilege and go
up the creek without a paddle
your high horse has lost its saddle
screw is stripped, your sail is shipped
n-o, n-o, n-o, n-o, no
n-o, n-o, n-o, n-o, no
No No No
Bridge
Well you're pretty good lookin' and you're pretty smart
but honey for some reason, you really think you are
incredibly important and well, interesting,
it's just just I, disagree...so
you gotta go, Joe
gotta go! get on - get, get, get
it's time to stand up and walk away,
it's time to leave!
So, no Joe, you gotta blow
take your privilege and go
up the creek without a paddle
your high horse has lost its saddle
screw is stripped, your sail is shipped
screw is stripped, your sail is shipped
n-o, n-o, n-o, n-o, no
n-o, n-o, n-o, n-o, no
No No No

Take It To The Garden

I wanna write a song for you, hope it comes easy
I don't wanna write it down
Wanna write a song for you, make it bright and breezy
So that you can carry it around
Take it to the garden, somewhere up a mountain
Keep it in your memory, I
Wanna write a love song, so that when you sing along
Maybe you will think of me
My love for you, love for you
Deep as the river, it flows
My love for you, love for you
Something you will never outgrow
It'll follow you, follow
Up and down, around, a-round
Follow like a shadow, wherever you go
I wanna write a sad song, something you can lean on
Something that'll carry you through
Wanna write a sad song, something that'll be there
When the world is cruel to you
When you feel your heart harden, take it to the garden
Hold to who you want to be, I
Wanna write a love song, keepin' you headstrong
Only for you, from me
My love for you, love for you
Deep as the river it flows
My love for you, love for you
Something you will never outgrow
It'll follow you, follow
Up and down, around, around
Follow like a shadow, wherever you go
Mmmm, Mmmmm
Oh my, Oh my love for you, love for you
Deep as the river, it flows
My love for you, love for you
Something you will never, ever outgrow
It'll follow you, follow
Up and down, around, around
Follow like a shadow, wherever, wherever
Wherever you find yourself

He Ain't Me

If you don't leave now
You might get snowed in
You know that's alright with me
It don't seem like quittin'
You should cancel all your plans
I've got nowhere to be
But your boyfriend might have something to say
You know that I think, he's just "ok"
He don't wear black jeans, he don't say nice things
He can't play a lick on his guitar
He can't grow his beard long, he won't write you love songs
Spends too much dough at the bar
I guess I'll keep singin' hoping you'll see
That your ol' boy, he ain't me
Oh the snow's comin' down
Oh theres ice on the ground
The wind it chills to the bone
So throw a log on
I'll keep singin' this song
About that ol' boy you've outgrown
He won't keep you laughin' (He won't keep me laughin')
He wont take you dancin' (He wont take me dancin')
Spends all his time gettin' mad (Oh!)
He thinks he's a big king (He think's he's a big king)
He don't know the first thing (He don't know the first thing)
About makin' you smile when you're sad
I guess I'll keep singin' hoping you'll see
That your ol' boy, (Well)
He ain't me, he ain't me
Hope that you know he ain't me
He ain't me, he ain't me
Hope that you know he ain't me
Oh he's done you all wrong
Yeah he's stringin' you along
I know that he's just a fad
Oh you wont be alone
Yeah, just pick up that phone
You can tell him I ain't half bad
He ain't me, he ain't me (No)
Hope that you know he ain't me
He ain't me, he ain't me
Hope that you know he ain't me
He ain't me (He ain't me) he ain't me (He ain't me)
Hope that you know he ain't me
He ain't me (He ain't me) he ain't me (He ain't me)
Hope that you know he ain't me

Unseen

Oh I thought I might be heading down a couples years ago
But God prolonged my suffering to prove what I don’t know
Terror raged and petrified
I prayed to be made clean
I can’t feel it anymore
I long to be unseen
I’m left toil away my days
In a cell of my own kind
I’d spit, and cuss, and kick up dust
Leave behind this bind
But I can’t try to win my life
In the face of this machine
I’d crawl into an early grave
I long to be unseen
I can’t tell the future
I can’t see the past
All I need to do is make this final whiskey last
Stuck outside the exit sign
with no more words to say
And I ain’t living longer, living longer than today
Oh better men have been snatched up
Somehow I remain
All that’s left surrounding me
Is driving insane
I can’t take it anymore
Of stumbling through this weed
I just give it all at once
I long to be unseen
I can’t tell the future
I can’t see the past
All I need to do is make this final whiskey last
Stuck outside the exit sign
with no more words to say
And I ain’t living longer, living longer than today
Throw my hands, stomp my feet
I long to be unseen
Throw my hands, stomp my feet
I long to be unseen
Throw my hands, stomp my feet
I long to be unseen, I long to be unseen
I long to be unseen

Oh Lordy

Wake up to a mornin' I don't wanna be a part of
Sleeping in wont change the day ahead
I cant help but think about the life I had before this
full of things I took for granted
Every day I'm pissed off at the beast outside my window
takin' anyone to make sure that its fed
and I don't wanna turn into the beast it's makin' of me
Oh God bring me some relief
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
But I stay in, stay in
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
I'm lonely, surrounded
I used to think that everyone I met had good intentions
I used to think we're in it together (oooh, oooh)
One by one they show themselves as nothing more than selfish
friends for only fair weather
I can't really blame them; we're too busy to give a damn these days (oooh, oooh)
bout family, friends and neighbors
But while we're busy bettering, we miss the silent suffering
'Til its too late to change course
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
But I stay in, stay in
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
I'm lonely, surrounded
Oooh, oh ooooh
Oooh, oh ooooh
Oooh, oh ooooh
Oooh, oh ooooh
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
But I stay in, stay in
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
OH LORDY, wont you help me
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
But I stay in, stay in
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
I'm lonely.....
