He said Katy did
She said Katy did not
It might sound like they're quarrelin
but I know they're not
Six weeks til frost the old timers say
I know they're courtin the Katydid way
All night long I lay in my bed
over and over the sound in my head
up on a tree, out on a limb
he said to her, and she said to him
He said Katy did
She said Katy did not
It might sound like they're quarrelin
but I know they're not
Six weeks til frost the old timers say
I know they're courtin the Katydid way
It's the same old argument every fall
must be a feud or a family brawl
whether katy did or katy did not
there's a lot of other katys that katy begot
He said Katy did
She said Katy did not
It might sound like they're quarrelin
but I know they're not
Six weeks til frost the old timers say
I know they're courtin the Katydid way

you tell me you like my fever
why don't you lick my tears and like them too
you told me i could shove off
you told me you wouldn't see her
how come all this talk's different
from what you do
Give it up baby
give it up child
give it up baby
you wanna run
let's be wild
You lay with him in that bed
coulda walked on by, you chose him instead
needed to figure it out, that's what you said
With all of your jealous thoughts,
Tequilla on your breath forming every thought
I know you were with him, where do you get off?
Give it up baby
give it up child
give it up baby
you wanna run
let's be wild

The Angels Sing

there are days when i try not to think about you
there are days i just let the cameras roll
its those pictures in my mind of you and me in time
that ease my heart and soul
the angels sing baby baby
but are you on his mind
or just one in a line of fools
the angels sing baby baby
don't you know you can't win
when you don't even make the rules
in the mornings when i wake up all alone
i feel love like a warning in my bones
its those pictures in my mind
of you and me in time
that ease my heart and soul
the angels sing baby baby
but are you on his mind
or just one in a line of fools
the angels sing baby baby
don't you know you can't win
when you don't even make the rules

Rocketship
01:46

How do we make it right
I already told you I love you like a million times
If I shake and you lead, darling would you take the plunge with me
When I'm away we fight, when we're together our love is out of sight
How do I make you stay and let you know we're gonna be all right
Blast off on a rocketship, Don and Glenn on the turntable bringing the hits
I don't ask what it all means, I just drink too much and fall apart at the seams
When I'm away we fight, when we're together our love is out of sight
How do I make you stay and let you know we're going to be all right
What happens to me happens to you
What happens to you baby, happens to me too
What happens to me happens to you
What happens to you baby, happens to me too

Flag

flag on your forehead and love in your heart
my friend ooh you live the part
didn't you know that I was born not knowing why
or how the heart works
or where the love of life lurks
didn't you know
well you call late drunk
after five weeks dry
and the words we spoke sent me to cry and
didn't you know oh how my heart was
didn't you know how my heart is
your friend in sorrow and your pal in joy
and oh man i don't know any better
didn't you know

We were a disaster when we first met
Fighting all the day and half the night
and I'm not trying to make light, but I thought that I might try to make things right
and put a ring on your finger for a few years of your life
Would you like to be my first divorce?
We'll be happy of course for a year or maybe more
Long enough maybe to make a baby or two
Then I won't be able to pay my child support
So things will get ugly and you'll take me to court
I'll be so happy that you wanted to be my first divorce
We used to play those little games
running in circles, driving me insane
now our bad lovin just ain't the same
Would you like to be my first divorce?
We'll be happy of course for a year or maybe more (if we're lucky)
Long enough maybe to make a baby or two
Then I won't be able to pay my child support
So things will get ugly and you'll take me to court
I'll be so happy that you wanted to be my first divorce

Dancin'

Daddy said I couldn't leave home
but my poor heart had a big hole
and I needed to get my start
to find some love for my sad heart
but I did not get very far
without thinking of you
take me dancin take me dancin
take me dancin take me dancin
i am so in love tonight
and my love he taught me to get by
i am so in love tonight
are you?
when I woke from my sleep this morning
Dad I dreamed you took me shopping
for a pair of brand new dancing shoes
the kind you knew I'd really use
and we both knew my heart could choose
the right love
take me dancin take me dancin
take me dancin take me dancin
i am so in love tonight
and my love he taught me to get high
i am so in love tonight

what did you whisper to me to me to me to me
what did you whisper to me as the pillow cupped my head
what did you whisper to me to me to me to me
i gotta know cause now I'm dead
i said you've been a no good baby
I'm tired of all your other men and maybe
if you don't make the turnaround you're gonna end up like you've always been bound
so watch out baby you're gonna wake up missing
what are you doing with that shiny metal steak knife
i thought that you wanted little old me to be your wife
what are you doing with that heavy metal cleaver
i thought you wanted it like leave it to beaver
i said you've been a no good baby (b-a-b-y)
I'm tired of all your other men and maybe (m-a-b-y)
if you don't make the turnaround you're gonna end up like you've always been bound
so watch out baby you're gonna wake up dead
what did you whisper to me to me to me to me
what did you whisper to me as the pillow cupped my head
what did you whisper to me to me to me
i gotta know cause now I'm dead
i said you've been a no good baby (b-a-b-y)
I'm tired of all your other men and maybe (m-a-b-y)
if you don't make the turnaround you're gonna end up like you've always been bound
so watch out baby you're gonna wake up dead
if I don't make the turnaround I'm gonna end up like I've always been bound
d-e-a-d Dead!

Scab
02:14
|

Found that bird in the dirt, held it in my hands
Looked it in the eyes and broke its wing, buried it in the sand.
Hands a shaken but the doctor said, "prescription can't be filled.
what you want is in the bottle, it ain't in a pill."
Carved your name in my arm, felt good while it bled
by the time the scab fell off, our good love was dead.
In your head you know that girl, the one that got away
The way she smelled and the dress she wore and the way she moved
when you kissed her neck that way.
Now I've got twelve gauges in my mouth, pointed up toward God,
like my hands when I used to pray,
"The Lord my soul to keep, now I lay me down to sleep."

Choose

Hey old flame let's dance the night away
cause I'm gonna keep myself from you someday
but tonight let's hold hands
slow dance around the room one more time
than you'll go home to yours
and i'll go home to mine
I recall just how you moved me in the moonlight
with your hands so strong and so sure
well you've reached for me so many times
and I've held your heart in mine
but we were young and out of time
what will I choose
what will I choose
what will I choose
wham will I choose
and then there's the man ill leave behind
he's your good friend and for years he's been mine
but they say that you'll just know
and my hearts crying to go
so tell me what i already know
what will I choose
what will I choose
what will I choose
what will I choose

Appalachian Ballad

Yesterday when our eyes met
I knew right then that we would wed
I knew right then that this would be
and someday you would marry me
The next spring while on one knee
you were so fair just seventeen
I put that ring onto your hand
and swore to all ways be your man
The years went by, our troubles grew
The death of Joshua at two
a drought so bad we had no food
but through it all I still had you
We would sit on the front porch
the wind would bang that old screen door
the leaves they grow, the leaves they fall
the winters come, the winters fall.
We thought about how it would be
when we were old when we were young
now I'm not scared to face my death
when I hold your hands I am not scared
I know you'll miss me as I go
I kiss your lips your hair of snow
for forty years you're my best friend
I do not want my time to end
I remember how I cried
on the day my best friend died
now I am old and all alone
but I will sing this by your grave
I will love you for all time
through valleys deep and oceans wide
I will love you for all time
I will forever love you
