You got the sun in your head mama
You got the sun in your head mama
gonna exercise the dark
thunderstorm in your heart.
Well now make a heart down in the dirt
put your feet down let’em kiss the earth.
Honey don’t you don’t you know
Well I don’t care what you done wrong
Sing to me a summersong
wrap your arms around me.
Speed the plow through the Devil’s dream mama
Speed the plow through the Devil’s dream mama
Ain’t no sense like living before
in your mind with a tug of war.
Ah now come on . . .
Moving now a few steps closer honey
I’m moving now a few steps closer honey.
It’s one step forward and two steps back
gonna Do-si-do till you’re back on track , yeah
Chicken in the bread–pan pickin' out dough, ah huh
Big pig rootin' up a little 'tater' row, ah huh
I don’t care what’s on your mind
Gotta let it go for a new design
Well now draw a heart down in the dirt
put your feet down let’em kiss the earth.
Honey don’t you don’t you know
Well I don’t care what you done wrong
Sing to me a summersong
Come on honey get off of your seat
Remember me now with your feet.

Hold My Mule

Thunder down the mountain lord,
look out world here I go.
I’m a running with that summer valley feeling down in my soul.
Oh no looky here,
my mama she don’t raise no fool
you just stay right there
and I’ll take care of it
if you hold my mule.
Everybody told me I was wrong
No one thought I’d make it on my own
Well they ain’t got no manners like they should
They can talk all they want but
All my country learning done me good
I know broken down baby ain’t no fun
Let’s just pop your hood and I’ll take a look
and we’ll figure out how to make it run
Everybody told me I was wrong
No one thought I’d make it on my own
Everybody told me I was strong
I knew I couldn’t lift it on my own
One more time here we go moving on down the road
I don’t swagger much cause the animal carries my load.
now now looky here you know I make my own rules,
Oh Lord but I can still take care of business if you hold my mule.

I need you now
My thoughts are so loud
I hate the sound
Well I set the river on fire tonight
I think of you and lose my mind
Can’t deny that what I do
Brings me closer to you.
Well I think about how we were
then watch the river begin to stir
and everything starts to glow
Where did you go?
I need you now
Hear me now
I feel it now
In my mind it’s understood
I aint’ living like I should
every night I sing this song
All I want is you.
No matter what I do or say
there’s a ghost in my eyes that’ll never go away
Do you hear me calling?
Catch me cause I’m falling
I need you now
(Can’t stop in my head, the crazy fire starts to spread)
I need you now
(Hard down in my soul, swimming in a river I can’t control)
Near me now
(Well I lose my mind but my heart is oh so alive, oh)
so I close my eyes
set the river on fire.

Ruler of My World
02:52

|
The woman that I love,
She rules my heart,
Must be out of my head sometimes, with a crazy heart
I say baby, baby yeah
Oh my . . . . my love
You skipped away on down the road
without a care for me I know
I guess it was due.
Wasn’t I worth the time?
Remember how I held you?
Sleeping in my room my world was reeling,
When I saw the sun, Lord the sky was bleeding.
Ruler of my world
What’s in between
Everything I said and what I really mean.
She said baby baby yeah
Hold on now . . . my love
Such a lullaby but birds they fly
you left me all alone She said . . .
Wasn’t I worth the time?
Remember how I held you?
Sleeping in my room my world was reeling,
When I saw the sky, Lord the sun was bleeding.
Wasn’t I worth the time?
Remember how I held you?
All I have and all that I’m feeling
don’t forget and remember just why I’m saying . . .
Baby don’t go, oh no, baby don’t leave, don’t leave.

Attacking the Sun
03:54

|
You don’t know what it means to me
After all the years to finally see.
My heart beats fast now that you are here.
I could study that face for a million years.
Can you stay with me a while?
The California sun is still shining so bright
The world won’t understand,
Would it be okay if I just hold your hand?
Long black hair and a new tattoo,
Everybody telling you what to do.
I watch her grow, your baby girl,
Gotta find her a place in this world.
All the things I wanted to say
I hid in the attic and stored so far away.
I will never forget, I let you go,
the baby I couldn’t protect.
I rewind in my head my soundtrack
I wanna go home I wanna go back.
I’d never ever leave and hold you close
Things would be different I suppose.
Some things can’t be undone.
Why in the heavens did you attack the sun?
Now the world is on fire,
So I close my eyes and I see you better
tell myself it’s alright.
Now the days they break my heart,
Gotta keep the world from coming apart.
I just don’t know what to do
Not one of my dreams ever came true.

Baby don't you do it, don't do it babe
Don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart
I sacrifice to make you happy kept nothing for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone whether I'm right or wrong

You know I tried to do my best
And I tried to do my best
Don't do it babe, don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me know Lord
If my heart was made of glass then you'd surely see
Heartaches and misery, baby you've been causing me
And I tried to do my best
And I tried to do my best
Don't do it babe, don't you break my heart
Please don't do it, don't you break my heart
Go down to the river and there I’ll be
I'm gonna jump in girl, cause you don't care bout me
Open up your eyes
Can't you see I love you?
Open up your heart, girl
Can't you see I need you?
I'm no good without you
Life’s no good without you
I can’t get along without you
I ain’t going home without you
Baby don't do it, don't you break my heart
Don’t you do it babe don't you break my heart yeah, com on
Baby don’t do it, baby don’t do it, baby do it.

Feeling funny in my mind Lord,
I believe I’m fixin’ to die
Feeling funny in my mind Lord,
I believe I'm fixin’ to die
Well I don’t mind dying but I hate to leave my children crying
Well I don’t mind dying but I hate to leave my children crying
Look over yonder there at that burying ground

Sure looks lonesome yeah when the sun goes down
Sure looks lonesome yeah when the sun goes down
There’s black smoke rising Lord, rising over my head
There’s black smoke rising Lord, rising over my head
Can’t tell Jesus to make up my dying bed
Can’t tell Jesus to make up my dying bed
I’m walking kind of funny Lord, feel I’m fixin’ to die
Yes I’m walking kind of funny Lord, feel I’m fixin’ to die
Well I don’t mind dying but I hate to leave my children crying
Well I don’t mind dying but I hate to leave my children crying
