Allison’s Heart

Couldn’t be mine if I wanted it to be

Try and try but I still can’t make her see

That I could give her everything she’ll ever need

If she’d just be with me

It was raining on that day we met

I fell in love but she hasn’t fallen yet

Whatever she wants is exactly what she’ll get

If she’d just be with me

I’m in love with Allison’s heart

I’m in love with Allison’s heart

In love with Allison’s heart

But it’s not in love with me

No it’s not in love with me

She’s a star that I just cannot catch

And I’m a fly caught in her web

She’s a love that I just can’t forget

So why can’t I see

Couldn’t be mine if I wanted it to be

Try and try but I still can’t make her see

That I could give her everything she’ll ever need

If she’d just be with me

I’m in love with Allison’s heart

I’m in love with Allison’s heart

In love with Allison’s heart

And I guess I’ll always be

And I guess I’ll always be

And I guess I’ll always be

Angels and Devils

One summer evening

On a back porch in Oklahoma

Thought about my short life

And the works of my hand

Then that same old feeling

For as long as I remember

Standing on the outside just trying to get in

Sometimes I feel low

Sometimes I feel down

But them angels and devils make sure that I’m always around

Thought about a lost love

In the hills out in Albuquerque

Oh, how the one did hurt me

But somehow I got by

Then I heard a whisper

On the winds that blew around me

Said I won’t live forever son

But I will never die

Sometimes I feel low

Sometimes I feel down

But them angels and devils make sure that I’m always around

I recall the wise man

On the banks of a muddy river

Passing me my wineskin on warm July day

Said son I’ve lived a hard one

But there’s one thing you must remember

It ain’t the road that will get you

It’s the stops along the way

Sometimes I feel low

Sometimes I feel down

But them angels and devils make sure that I’m always around

Bad Side of Better Me

Other day I saw the light

Stop doing wrong, start living right

Be a better man

A little bit more of what I ought to be

But seems I can’t throw it all away

Still got a bad side of better me

Dot my I’s, cross my T’s

Yes sir, no sir, I say please

With a helping hand

Oh, look at what an open eye can see

But if you can’t help but drag my name down

Get on the bad side of better me

Oh, the bad side of better me

Said I like my new life

It’s working out

Greater glimpse of what it’s all about

Had to take a stand

Had to let a man be free

But free man still wear a little chains

Keeping the bad side of better me

Keeping the bad side of better me

Oh, the bad side of better me

Best of the Situation

Play softly the notes I know

These days go by so slow

When it seems

You don’t have a direction

Don’t worry about where I’ve been

Open up and take me in

Because it feels

We have got a connection

Try living without a sound

Watch it all come tumbling down

Babylon

Is calling out to my nation

If you listening come outside

There ain’t no reason to run and hide

Because it feels

We got us an obligation

There are times in our life when we know

There are times in our life when we don’t

There are times in our life when we must make

The best of the situation

Sweating blood with a shaking hand

Watch fire burn down this land

As the day

Surrenders to degradation

In the middle where the thoughts turn cold

Try to bring to mind what you’ve been told

As your heart

Compounds that complication

There are times in our life when we know

There are times in our life when we don’t

There are times in our life when we must make

The best of the situation

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Just be careful about what you say

Never know when there might come a day

When you words

Will lead to a confrontation

Then I need to know whose side you’re on

Try to figure out what’s right and wrong

Then the deed

Will shatter that conversation

There are times in our life when we know

There are times in our life when we don’t

There are times in our life when we must make

The best of the situation

There are times in our life when we know

There are times in our life when we don’t

There are times in our life when we must make

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t you want to see them all fall down

Don’t Matter

Barefooted babies crying in the street

Mommy ain’t got no money

So they ain’t got shit to eat

Daddy’s in that cage

Brother’s filled with rage

Gonna buy a shotgun

Gonna turn another page

Chorus: 

Don’t matter how you get it, Lord

Make sure that you do

Don’t matter how you get it, Lord

Just make sure that you do

Check out all them brothers

Hanging out at bars

Starring at them pretty girls

And driving fancy cars

See that one right there

Pretty long blonde hair

Got that cheese just selling ass

Lord, she don’t even care

Chorus

Don’t matter how you get it

Make sure that you do

If they can do it

Bet your ass that you can do it too
