THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND Holed up in a Hollywood bar With a bourbon on the rocks and cashews in a jar Trying to get away from everything From the jukebox Eddie Arnold sings And I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND I’m back in my zone again I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND And I know that this much heaven must be a sin I came in on Tuesday I planned on being a star Now its come on Thursday And I ended up in this bar And I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND I’m back in my zone again I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND And I know that this much heaven must be a sin Bridge: They offered me a walk on part A chance to meet some celebrities But I said that’s alright I’ve got somewhere else to be I’ve got to be the star Of my own fantasy There’s a Miller High Life beer clock Hanging on the wood panel walls And one of those moving light pictures That looks like Niagara Falls I can see the water looks like its pouring out on me I guess I’m past the point Of Sobriety. CHORUS

FIGHT ANOTHER DAY Ever since I was born I’ve been living on the run Living by the skin of my teeth By every trick and every con But I never hurt no one That didn’t hurt me first I know that I’ll be blessed For a lifetime of being cursed. CHORUS Some say I’m guilty I’m innocent as a lamb I mind my own business But I’m always in a jam Some say the hangman Has got to have his day I keep on running To FIGHT ANOTHER DAY Tomorrow I must catch a train On my way to another town I always pull myself up Before it pulls me down I’ve always been hungry For the finer things But now I’d trade it all For just one set of wings CHORUS Some say I’m guilty I’m innocent as a lamb I mind my own business But I’m always in a jam Some say the hangman Has got to have his day I keep on running To FIGHT ANOTHER DAY

I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED When a heart is open That’s when it gets broken That’s the lesson I learned When I feel this desire I run from the fire Cause I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED no I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED I know I lured a few flies to the flame but now the tables are turned you want to do to me the same but I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED no I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED BRIDGE: Like a fatal attraction That causes inaction That’s my cause for concern That ring of fire Is growing higher and higher But I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED no I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED

HAVE YOU EVER

HAVE YOU EVER been blue HAVE YOU EVER been broken hearted That's the way I feel since I met you Look at what you started HAVE YOU EVER watched the rain From a lonely room in the early morning Then you might know the pain And have some idea of the longing HAVE YOU EVER really loved Loved like it would break you in two HAVE YOU EVER really loved me The way that I love you HAVE YOU EVER really cried Cried so much you trembled That's the way I cry for you My heart is not so nimble HAVE YOU EVER caught a train Not knowing where it's going Knowing your desire's in vain But still it keeps on growing HAVE YOU EVER really loved Loved like it would break you in two HAVE YOU EVER really loved me The way that I love you Every night I must confess All this love pounding in my chest I'm just too blind to see the signs There's just no way I'm going to make you mine Maybe I'm a fool but I feel so alive Because of my love for you

ONE LAST RIDE

I got three hours of sleep And three gallons of gas I know I got to make Something happen fast I got a face full of stubble And a suitcase full of trouble I know that this trip May turn out to be my last Gonna take her out for ONE LAST RIDE Pedal to the metal, top down on Oceanside You know there's no redeemin' When you hear those Firestones screamin' It's the ultimate powerglide When you're out for ONE LAST RIDE Yeah I'm out for ONE LAST RIDE Yeah I'm out for ONE LAST RIDE Gonna ride baby! Going down to Mexico It's the only place I know My good friend squealed Now I have to blow I know I shouldn't have told her Now I'll never make the border I'll be a dead man with all this dough Gonna take her out for ONE LAST RIDE...

VOODOO NIGHT

Take me to a lake just before the flood Tie me to a stake and draw some blood Painted faces dancing naked Under the moonlight on the delta mud I'm the offering on a VOODOO NIGHT Spanish moss hangs down just like ghosts Souls departed from their hosts Tribal drums have begun From my blood you drink a toast I'm the offering on a VOODOO NIGHT My fate is out of my hands I just don't understand How I came under your command On a VOODOO NIGHT

BLACK MOON There’s a BLACK MOON following me It’s up in the sky but only I can see There’s a BLACK MOON on the rise Deep in the night It’s got me hypnotized BLACK MOON will you ever let me go BLACK MOON will you ever let me go BLACK MOON has turned the tide BLACK MOON left me no place to hide BLACK MOON blocks out the sun BLACK MOON keeps me on the run BLACK MOON will you ever let me go BLACK MOON will you ever let me go

FUNKY SITUATION

Didn't know you were a star Til I got inside your car Rich boy smirk in a shiny Merc You just loved to watch me work Here, let me, I'm going to set you free We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION Hollywood is my livelihood My name is Valentine I work Hollywood and Vine If you got the change I'll do something strange Yes, that can be arranged Leather and whips, I'll put a smile on your lips We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION Hollywood is my livelihood I'm gonna give you a whirl Not like your preppy girl That stuck up b**** Just 'cause she's rich She don't know how to scratch your itch But me, you'll see, I'll give you ecstasy! We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION We're gonna get into a FUNKY SITUATION Hollywood is my livelihood

LOVE JUNKY

I'm a LOVE JUNKY And tonight I need a fix I'm a LOVE JUNKY Just one of many love addicts My mind is racing When you look in my direction Might as well face it You're gonna be my new connection I'm a LOVE JUNKY That's all I'm living for I'm a LOVE JUNKY And tonight I gotta score When will I find true happiness Decades of discontent for one minute of bliss How did I get myself in such a mess Too many nights alone out in the world I guess Now I'm a LOVE JUNKY I've got that monkey on my back It's that love monkey Keeps me getting on with my mack You've got the needle And baby I've got the spoon We'll put them together In some dark and lonely room I'm a LOVE JUNKY...

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

What can I do, what can I say To make you love me, to make you stay All these memories burn in my brain Why do I love you when you don't remain LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE on me tonight My room is so cold and the night so dark I have no match to make a spark I feel you glowing on the other side Why aren't you showing the things you always hide LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE on me tonight You've got a fire that burns deep inside You've got a fire that I've always been denied The house is so dark now that you're gone There's a draft of cold wind where it used to be warm I know we've been here before and may be again I need you back at my door, I need a friend LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE on me tonight
