Used to have a little girl, finally let her go She backed me up, against the wall, so I kicked her out the door I'm not the kind of man, who angers easily Ain't no way I play the fool, when she's stepping out on me Why-you-keep-on, hangin' round baby when you don't want to love me Al-ways-did-my, best for you baby all you wanted was my money Time-will-come-some-, body gonna take your little heart and break it Can't-get-by-for, long girl no you just can't take it Sitting in my living room, watching my video I heard a knock on my front door, I wish that she would go Walked in like I wasn't there, put her bags on the floor Woman's got a lot of nerve, I don't want her no more Some-girls-just-don't, think man I'm telling you the girl is crazy Can't-get-by-for, long, girl no you're too damn lazy What-the-hell-made, her think she could jump back in my life Told-her-she-could, stop by later and talk to my wife Girl you ain't got nothin', cause you ain't got me You never stop your cryin, since you set me free Girl you ain't got nothin', cause you ain't got me Never stop your cryin, since you set me free Tell me what you're gonna do I don't want nothing to do with you And I'm a happy man now Don't you come hanging round me no more

Five by Five 03:15
Don't mind the dust, I'm runnin' late She'll be back, I'm already gone I'm running hot, she's pullin' cold Not to worry I'm running fine Let's get away Leave this all behind Hold on tight, we're flying high Comin in, five by five Don't need your rules I break 'em all the time Got an open road Yeah, five by five Flyin's low, she's running hot Don't mind the heat, just feel the road Another time, another city On the ride from dusk to dawn We're almost there Don't stop now, we're in the clear Hold on tight, we're flying high Comin in, five by five We're flyin' five by five Oh, side by side We're flyin' five by five Oh, side by side

Broken Heart 05:05
You and me babe, all we do is fuss 'n fight And all I've done, is try and make it right Now I'm down, I'm down on bended knees And all I ask, is for you to set me free Angel fly me to the river Send my soul downstream Angel fly me to the river, And let me... heal my broken heart Angel came by my window pane She said, why's your heart so heavy You need to, to leave her gone Cause that woman left you broken I found my way back to the crossroads I pray the blues will guide me now I asked my angel, won't you guide me home Help me find my broken heart Angel fly me to the river Won't you heal my broken heart

Tear It Up 02:42
Sunset on sunset in her little red ‘vette A top-down knock out in her see through best I’m gonna win this bet, so we can… tear it up Nothin’ seems to matter when you’re out all night A little too young, or maybe just right Don’t put up a fight, let’s just tear it up Lethal when you whisper, deadly when you moan Always leave me beggin’ like a dog for a bone You’re a dangerous woman, ain’t that the truth You’re comin’ on to me, but I’m comin after you Climb behind the wheel, crankin’ up the throttle Living for today, turnin’ up the bottle Going out on top, we’re gonna tear it up Never gonna stop, you’re just too hot No matter how wrong, no matter how right Cause the best thing to do with you is just… tear it up

When you touch me, when you tease me Girl you drive me wild For a moment, for an hour Girl I don't know why Give your love Give your love to me today We will live We'll be, that way When you hold me, in your arms Give me everything you got You delight me, you excite me Baby please don't stop Now it's over, did you like it Did we commit a sin Don't you say, another word Let's do it again Give your love Give your love, to me right now We will live We'll be, that way

Night Queen 03:12
I was taken on a trip By a dark-haired miss Callin' out my name I wonder whose to blame For the night queen Lyin' in my bed Visions in my head Cold and soaking wet Tryin' to forget the night queen Well the sun it came up Still I could not see I poured myself a cup Trying to clear my head Of the night queen You're the night queen And your in my head The more I run away The closer she will stay No matter where I turn and look I'm staring at the face Of the night queen I was locked up in my room Howlin' at the moon I feel her getting near Is it love or is it fear Of the night queen But it just occurred to me I solved my mystery Simple as can be My baby rules my dreams She's my night queen

Bye Bye 03:24
Wasn't too very long ago I used to think I was superman Rockin' the house, playing the field Doing everything I can Came a time when I figured it out Being led around by my nose If I wanted to live to be a ripe old age Something definitely had to go Cause of my, my situation Being led, led into damnation Now it's time to leave, time to fly baby And I'm sayin'... bye bye, goodbye baby bye bye Bye bye, goodbye baby, bye bye Line 'em up, knock 'em on down Was the story of my past All the people I thought were my friends Sell their soul for another blast Staying up till the rooster crows Bay at the moon all night Scared to death to close my eyes Will I sleep, or will I die

Lord I never had a woman Love me quite the way you do No I never had a woman Love me quite the way you do And you know it's true Cause I never loved a woman Like I'm gonna love you, tonight Don't you tease me, won't you squeeze me now Don't you hand me none of your lies Don't you tease me, don't you squeeze me now Don't you hand me none of your lies Cause I never loved a woman Like I'm gonna love you tonight
9.
Take Me Away 05:21
I try to understand, all the things you do... yes I try I wanted to get, a little closer to you, but you lied to me So I decided, to stand on my own, all alone It didn't know just what to say, so it's here, in my song to you Now open up my eyes Take me away You picked me up, then put me back down on the ground I thought I had it straight, then you came home late, from the town It's all over now so I'm leavin' tonight on that train I'd stick around, talk it over with you, but it would all, be the same

Woke Up Dead 04:44
Up in the morning, I think I woke up dead All these crazy woman, runin' round in my head Seems like the morning or was it, all night long Maybe I'm dreamin', or maybe I'm already gone Doctor, doctor I don't mind the cure Rock 'n roll heaven Is looking pretty damn good Voodoo mama, save me a stich 'n nine Bury me standin' cause I'm all out of time A dead man talking, makes for a blues man walking Cold-hearted woman, like a rattlesnake shakin' Sun's coming up I think I, woke up dead Give the devil his due, cause the blue moon's red Doctor, doctor, now here's my cure

The Man), Max Whipple on bass (from the indie bands Vas Defrans and Deux Sons), Brett Tuggle (Fleetwood Mac, Jimmy Page, David Lee Roth, Chris Isaak) on keyboards and backing vocals, with Randy Troast on additional guitars and bass and guest performances by bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder, Kenny Wayne Shepard), drummer Charlie McGimsey (Stoneground, Steel Breeze), guitarist Steve Trovato, blues harpist Glen Doll, and singer Anna Montgomery.
