Funeral Party

Chorus
Ring a bell and sound off an alarm
I just bought the farm
You won’t see no horse and piggy
Crack some Jack
no tea or sympathy
Just a funeral party for me

Age five- Nunee Nineball
dodged a tree fall
saw that death was all around
Alive, he said I’ll manage
to do some damage
before this body’s underground,
and day-by-day, he lived his life that way
No sad story to decree
No moral to relay

Pre-Chorus
Now everyone has come from miles from here
Hand me my jacket and my comb
I’ll take a bow because the curtain’s near
Au revoir, my dear
Friends, I’m home

Chorus

Ain’t no fire lake sonnet
take that frown and put some make-up on it
No, I don’t regret it
I took my clock and set it
If something had to be, I let it
and day-by-day, I live my life that way
with no sad story to decree
No moral to relay

Pre-chorus

Chorus

So, ciao a te compare. Adios, my friend
I’m going to a party that’s never gonna end

Love’s A Game

Love’s a game for jokers and fools

Jokers and fools aren’t playing by the rules

Praying for salvation, slouching on their happy hour stools

Pre-chorus

At first, they are lost, but then they think they’re found

‘cause someone shows up and starts to drag their heart around

Chorus

Love’s a game, not to choose

‘cause in a game, someone’s gotta lose

Love’s a game for players and thieves

One’s selling their lies that the other believes

You reap what you sow. You know,

what you give might not always be what you receive

(Sorry, honey. Hate to be the bearer of bad news.)

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Well, don’t you know that it’s been a time-after-time

and a line-after-line?

It’s like a poison fruit right off the tree growing on a tangled vine

Someone’s taking up my bed

Someone’s shaking up my mind

I was praying for some vision, but it only left me blind

Love’s a game I don’t wanna play

You can drag me kicking and screaming, but I’ll only run away

You know, I’d love to love you tomorrow, but don’t you see?

I was burned by yesterday

And I don’t wanna burn tomorrow

I don’t wanna feel the fire

But I wanna bathe in that river

I wanna swim in that desire

Lay Your Body Down

Pardon me for walkin’ ‘cross this floor,

but we’ve met a few times before

I wanna take you out and walk you to your door

If it all plays out, we’ll try for more

Chorus

Baby, there’s no better love in town

Let me lay your body down

They say the man that you used to see

didn’t know what he had and set you free

I had the same situation and a heart of gold

Let me keep you warm when the nights grow cold

Chorus

What’s the sense in crying for what’s gone?

Let’s go dance, then get those curtains drawn

I’ll keep you up and smiling ‘til the dawn

Baby, there’s no way you’ll wear a frown

Let me lay your body down

Southern belle, sipping on your gin

Love to see you move when the band kicks in

Damn good man, devil in my soul

Give me Irish whiskey and rock n’ roll

Baby, there’s no better love in town

If it has a king, I’m the one who wears the crown

Baby, there’s no better love in town

Let me lay your body down

Old Roads

“So…here’s the thing,” said Jonny,

as he cracked himself a can

He said, “It looks like El Dorado 

is back where it began.

‘Cause we traveled ‘round this country

turning metal into gold,

but when we needed inspiration- 

down these dusty streets we rolled

Now we know”

Pre-Chorus

Through all the storms we might weather

I hope we all get together

‘til we die

‘Til we die

Chorus

Sometimes you wanna drive them old roads

as the stereo explodes

You’re looking back on all your teenage episodes

And as you kick back and drive

the memories come alive

Everything you’re carrying unloads

Drive them old roads

Drive them old roads

Over mountains I am climbing

In oceans, I have swam

There’s a little town I come from

It’s part of who I am

Through every passing season

After every setting sun

There’s a home that I come back to

after living on the run

There’s only one

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Chorus

All My Friends Are Getting Married (I’m Just Getting Stoned)

Shooting like a bullet out of Tuscaloosa High

Back then, I thought angels just fell out of the sky

I go out late at night these days, come back home at dawn

Sleeping in my blue jeans with the car parked on the lawn

Now, the blue jeans all are faded and the angels are all gone

Chorus

I’m not ready to love

Ready to love somebody

I have sinned, but I have atoned

All my friends are getting married

I’m just getting stoned

I’m just getting stoned

Working on a dream to which I am resigned

I’m a hard, hard man to love, but I’m an easy friend to find

And I keep those wheels a-moving ‘cause the steering is aligned

Chorus

Drove up to my best friend to meet his newborn son

I think I’d like that life one day when this work is done
Yeah, my friends are having children, but I’m still having fun

When I’m ready to love,

then I will love somebody

I have sinned. I’ve atoned

All my friends are getting married

I’m just getting stoned

I’m just getting stoned

Click, Boom, Click

Everyday

I hear the same music play

Somebody blow me away

Somebody make that record stop

Some people say it’s too hot

Some people say that it’s not

Magazines and Pop

Bring me along to say,

“I’ll see you next time”

Chorus

Click, boom click

Love is dead with a click, boom, click

So long (and thanks for playing)

Click, boom, click

Thank you, and have a nice day

Take a pill and unwind

Because it seems that mankind

has lost its damn mind

Criminals and cops

But the DOW is just fine,

so pour me some wine

while this here beat drops

Sing me along with a 

Chorus

Some people say it’s too hot

Some people say that it’s not

Magazines and Pop

Send me along… with a

Chorus

Arrivederci!
