I can't be here anymore,
Just want it to be over. (Over.)
Wanna walk where the clouds are big,
An' covered in clover (Clouds of clover.)
I'm sorry I ever called.
Shoulda never, ever, ever picked up the 'phone. (Shoulda forgot your number.)
It's turned into a scary dream.
I never want it back at all.

I never really thought you would answer.
Now it's a big blown up thing.
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang.
When the telephone rang.

I've looked in faces that just looked away.
The eyes were dim and cloudy. (Can't see a thing.)
The pain of livin' with the hand that's dealt,
Is more than I can stand. (Can you take it? Can you take it? Can you take it?)
I can't forget all the mistakes I made,
It'd take a lifetime to erase them. (No, I can't go back.)
An' even I would never change a thing,
I can't waste any more time. (Time's a wastin', time's a wastin'.)

I never really thought you would answer.
Now it's a big blown up thing.
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang.
When the telephone rang.

Instrumental break.

I'm gettin' old an' my friends are few;
We're crossin' that big mountain. (Almost to the top, almost to the top.)
The sky fills of with the stars and moon and rain,
Pours like a fountain. (Water fallin' down.)
Oh, I could sit here in the midnight air,
An' look at what this life takes from me. (An' what it gives to you.)
An' count the reasons why I can't stand myself.
Just had to say these things anyway.

I never really thought you would answer.
Now it's a big blown up thing.
I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang.
When the telephone rang.
When the telephone rang.

The ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, when the telephone rang.
The ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, when the telephone rang.
Oh, I wish you hadn't been at home when the telephone rang.
When the telephone rang.

My old friend buried his Mama today
Told me about how he cried bloody tears and prayed
As the preacher shouted loud to believers
The sermon pounded home to redeemers
That's heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks

When I heard the icy water waves crashing on the shore
(oh the water, can't stand the water)
When my little baby said she just can't take it no more
(oh the water, can't stand the water)
When the earth split open and we buried the man (oooooooh)
The man that died a demon with a two-fisted hand
That's heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks

When the tall green crops drown underneath the rain
(oh it's pouring down)
When the memories come and your knees buckle under the pain
(oh it's pouring down)
When the take-back man steals away your soul (oooooohhhh)
Longing in your pockets and you come up cold
That's heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks

When sleep won't come and eyes won't shut out the light
(oh the darkness, oh the darkness)
When you ache for slumber and your eyes won't close out the light
(oh you're lost your way)
When the compass leads, still lost your way
Nothing left to lose but another day
That's heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks

When God come to meet me I'll be waiting at the door
(how ya doin' so glad to see ya)
When He comes down to seek us I'll be waiting at the door
(how ya doin' so glad to see ya)
The trial is over gonna go with the Lord (ooooohhhh)
Wont' have to worry about my sins no more
And that's heavy brother
Heavy as 10 rocks

And that's heavy brother

(Shelby Lynne)

You look like an art piece floating in my mind
And I am told fortunes are gold
Fortunes are gold.
Bucket loads of gratitude I feel for you
You are fine. I pour you like wine, pour you like wine.

As the desert sky turns into shadow light
Beside me on my bed tonight
Your love is the only light I see
You feel like the only home I've ever known
And I am shown
Tonight.

You seem like a memory that I've always known
And it has shown as long as I go, long as I go.
Safe and lost forever in a fantasy
Tosses and turns. My heart never yearns. My heart never yearns.

There's no better place to be than in your eyes.
There's no other sight to see
You're the cornbread and iced tea of life.

You feel like the only home I've ever known
And I am shown tonight
Oh how I'm shown

Been chasing my tail for years
Flying by running from terror and fear
Time to think clearly for the place I've been holding out for

My feet are getting wetter
It's gotta be better over there

My radio is broken and the static is the sound
Confounded by the uselessness, not knowing where I'm bound

My feet are getting wetter
It's gotta be better over there

Aww did you ever think you'd ever walk on hallow ground
Don't you like to think that things are lost and never found
Discover all the secrets and heard out for the sound
Did you hear the voice that makes your fever

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta...

I think this plane is leaving for the side of earth unknown
I know I'm only wearing what my body only knows

My feet are getting wetter
It's gotta be better over there

I'm ripping off the knob cause I found it and it's good
I should have taken chances when my chances were so good

My feet are getting wetter
It's gotta be better over there
My feet are getting wetter

I've heard you say a thousand times
You don't even like me
Felt your painful stabs at me
You don't even like me
How could anybody love you so
And wait on no return
As my feet dragged on the floor
My heart was hangin' limp
I've done all the giving
And I've sailed a sinking ship

Oh I don't think I'll do this anymore
I can't take your not loving me no more
Oh I don't think I'll do this
And it won't be like before
I don't have to wait on fear of your not being here no more
No I don't think I'll do this anymore

Your eyes were cold and they always will
Cut me up in pieces same ol lines
Same ol lies you cut me up in pieces
But this time somethings changed in me
I got some courage somewhere
I turned to you to remind you

My thoughts are a little cloudy
My feelings are around me
Yesterday is passed tomorrow's gone
Let it go I think I'm crazy
You're gone and it's just daybreak
Should have known you wouldn't stay too long
I can't tell you what time it is
I'm not wise, it's just the way it is

If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart
If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart

When you called me baby
I'm needing you already
You don't even recognize you're gone
I hate this cloud I'm under
And I can't stand the thunder
I always pryed on the happiness you brought
Sands in hourglasses hit the ground
Millions of them, lost and never found

If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart
If I were smart
I wouldn't have a heart

Oh the tin man played it cool, he said love's for fools
But his emptiness was real, he wanted more
But when his chest was pounding, he wished he'd never found it
Cause the hurt came hard and tears began to pour

If he were smart
He wouldn't have a heart
If he were smart
He wouldn't have a heart

Oooooohhh

If we were smart
We wouldn't have a heart
Ooohhhh
If I were smart

You stood there wearing the night
Look in my eyes, no surprise
That I wanted, to love you

You took me in your mind
I took the time, to realize
I love you

But this time, I will stay

Daylight nears your face
I won't erase, the picture we made
And I will follow, the page
I will, stay

No trace of yesterday
They are gone
Tomorrow's begun
And I know, yes I know
I will stay

Lonesome, lonesome and blue.
My arms want to hold you,
In dreams that come true.
Lonesome, oh, where are you?
These eyes want to hold you and see you.
I'm lonesome and blue.

My hands long touch you and love you.
My heart breaks at knowing that you're not here.
My love keeps on growing; my pain keeps on showing.
I just want you back in my world.

Crying, oh, I'm crying for you.
My tears are never drying,
Always pining for you.

Instrumental break.

My hands long touch you and love you.
My heart breaks at knowing that you're not here.
My love keeps on growing; my pain keeps on showing.
I just want you back in my world.

Crying, oh, I'm crying for you.
My tears are never drying,

(Verse one)
Shelby
Wickedness and shamelessness
Are holding you on earth
Make way for the cloudiness
To give your storm wide berth
Take away your poison pride
And force you to the light
Crusty creeps will plague you
As you try to sleep at night
Try to sleep at night
Try to sleep at night

(Verse two)
Say bye - bye to any hope
Of angels that wear white
By yourself alone you are
And ego is your plight
Ego is your plight
Ego is your plight see you're an

(Chorus)
Evil man
You sure know how to make a stand
You're an
Evil - evil man
You let the devil take you by the hand
You burn everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
You're an evil man

(Verse three)
Watch the rapture wrap you up
Unfolded as you fall
You can't have it everything
And you can?t have it all
Mesmerize your only child
With oceans running clean
Live with fact and hide with fiction
Cause truth is what you need
Truth is what you need
Truth is what you need
Yeah cuz you're

(Chorus)
Evil man
You sure know how to make a stand
Say you're an
Evil - evil man
You let the devil take you by the hand
You burn everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
You're an evil man yeah
(Verse four)
Coastal waters hold you
In an armful of deception
Easy tho' the hidden ways
Forbidden to take action
Sorry losers find their way
Use love and thievery
Not a chance in redemptions hell
Cause your head is hot and fevery
Hot and fevery
Hot and fevery
Hot and fever
Hot and fevery
(Verse five)
Spinning out of reach
On earth as he?s cover words
Reality is knowing death
As cold as it unfurls
Suck the singers fury
Cause you lack sincerity
Out and come up empty baby
Cause you never will be me
Never will be me
Never will be me
Never will be me cuz you're an
(Chorus)
Evil man
You sure know how to make a stand
Say you're an
Evil - evil man
You let the devil take you by the hand you burn
Everything you touch
Dreams and love and life and such
You're an evil man
Oh you burn
(Outro)
Everything you touch
Dreams and love
And life and such
Cause you're an evil man

Your mama's a whore
Your daddy's dead
She went and made you a hard road to tread
She'll never cheat her
She'll never lie
Alone at the gravesite
In a final goodbye

Your mama's a gold-digger
For money she'll spread
Her sticky fingers
All over his bed
She'll do what he wants
And he'll be a king
On her mind is the golden ring

Money changer, money changer
Don't matter who she just gives it to strangers
Money changer, money changer
She's a taker, and dirty knows no danger

Winds never change her
She directs the flow
Weather never worries
A low down ho
She'll steal what he wants
And make him waste time
She'll put on the language
Make him lose his mind

Aw your mama's cheap
You mama's shaggy
She'll show her fangs and they rusty and raggy
She don't forget nothin'
It stays in her head
Cause she gonna use it the minute he's dead

Money changer, money changer
Don't matter who she just gives it to strangers
Money changer, money changer

Baby, baby
What you got on your mind
You're in a hurry

Baby, baby
This ain't nothing new
The world is turning

Baby, baby
Let's just let it slide
We got time

Baby, oh baby
I'm your baby
And baby
You are mine

Tell me, oh tell me
What are your plans
Can I go with you

Tell me, tell me
If you are going up
I'm right behind you

Tell me, tell me
The secrets in your eyes
You can't lie

Oh and tell me, oh tell me
I'm your baby
And baby
You are mine

Sail me, oh sail me
Let's float away
Take me to heaven

Sail me, sail me
Write me in your plans
Hurry, hurry

Sail me, sail me
I'm your puppet
You just pull my strings

Baby, oh baby
I'm your baby
And baby
You are mine

Baby, oh baby
I'm your baby
And baby

One with the sun
You and me
One with the sun
Living is free
I got you now
Won't let you go
Tomorrow's a memory
We'll never know
One with the sun
I'm listening to you
One as the sun
I hear what you say
I love you so much
You are the way it is

The planets are the stars
I think they are your eyes
And all of the stars will always be ours
We'll always be
One with the sun

Because we are one
With the sun
And we've just begun
There's another sun
Sun is on it's way
And we'll be one
