“High Maintenance Girlfriend”

My new opinionated girlfriend says all of my clothes don’t fit.
I used to walk on water, but now I’m stepping in shit.
She got me dropping down the credit cards at a blinding pace.
I think her and her mother, they in a spending race.

‘Cause she’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.
She’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.

You see she’s very mathematical, she’s quite analytical.
She’s not very musical, but she can calculate the principle.
But when I try to show her she’s the only one,
She says she’s much too tired from all the shopping that she’s done.

‘Cause she’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.
She’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.

I’ve been thinking through the laughter, if it’s the money that she’s after.
Then we’re headed for disaster even sooner than I thought.
Baby got me rockin’ and a-reelin’, yes, I’m paying for the feeling.
But of she’s only going through the motions, I’ll leave her floating in the ocean.

‘Cause she’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.
She’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.
She’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.
She’s my high maintenance girlfriend now.


“Easier”

I’ve done everything you wanted,
Everything you’ve asked of me,
Still you say that it’s not easy.
It’s easier than you thought it would be.

You say things ain’t getting better,
And you can’t give your heart to me.
You make your life so hard instead of
Easier than you thought it would be.

I know you can go back home tonight.
Everything’s gonna be all right tonight, tonight, tonight.

So if you’re feeling broken hearted,
You can always talk to me.
I’ll take you back to before it started.
It’s easier than you thought it would be.
Easier than you thought it would be.
Easier than you thought it would be.


"The Offering"

As I watch you crying,
Close enough to feel your pain,
Your fingers cold and shaking
From holding on in vain
To a dream that’s torn and shattered,
Only part of you remains,
And it’s not enough to take away the pain.

If you have no place, you can have my room.
If you have no love, I can give that to you.
If you have no eyes, I can make you se.
If you have noone, I can give you me.

Is the fire inside you strong enough to keep you warm?
I see your body trembling from riding out the storm,
Holding on ’til nothing matters,
Only part of you remains,
And it’s not enough to take away the pain.

If you have no place, you can have my room.
If you have no love, I can give that to you.
If you have no eyes, I can make you se.
If you have noone, I can give you me.

I make the offering.
I make the offering to you.


"Slide Slow"

When I was a little baby, taking my first steps,
My momma held out her arms to me,
And this is what she said:
Son now don’t you hurry, don’t you wait too long.
Just be careful of the friends you make,
And who you take along, she said.

Slide slow, you might fall down.
Wherever you go now, remember, slide slow.
Remember, slide slow.

Went to school, met a girl.
She was the principal’s daughter.
I tried to score but poppa got sore,
And held back my diploma,
So I went to night school, took a day job.
I’m working more than I oughta.
I’m pumping gas. This year I might pass.
But I still love his daughter. She told me:

Slide slow, you might fall down.
Wherever you go now, remember, slide slow.
Remember, slide slow.

I looked at her, she looked away.
I was thinking about what to say.
We were looking at our future.
I had so much to teach her.

Now we got a little baby taking her first steps.
Her momma held out her arms to me.
And this what she said:
Honey I’m so worried.
C’mon and hold me tight.
What we gonna tell our blue eyes girl
When she cries at night?
We’ll tell her:

Slide slow, you might fall down.
Wherever you go now, remember, slide slow.
Remember, slide slow.


"Crossfire"

I know you were gonna tell me, but you didn’t know how to begin.
Words are spoken, promises are broken, isn’t this where we came in?
Can you tell me what I ever did to give you the feeling I lied?
Never knowing, thinking I was going to know what to say, I’m walking away.

We’re caught in a crossfire, can’t seem to get away.
You know everything is all right.
Yes, everything is all right.
But I wouldn’t ever
Consequently never know.

Don’t know what to say.
I’m walking away.
I’m caught in a crossfire, can’t seem to get away.
We’re caught in a crossfire, can’t seem to get away.


"The Little Things"

I don’t know where to start to tell you how I love you.
I don’t have time to mention all the good you do.
But just the way you stand can make me think
You’re my everything.
And it’s all those little things, all those little things.

I love the way you hold your head above a crowd.
And when it’s time to tell me off,
Even then you still ain’t loud.
And one kind word from you erases all my bad feelings.
And it’s all those little things, all those little things.

Like when you just might look at me and smile a bit,
That makes me know that everything I want,
It all will fit.

And though I know I see you every single day,
The things you do to my mind, they never go away.
And though I see you all the time, it’s always new.
It’s all those little things, all those little things.
And though I see you all the time, it’s always new.
It’s all those little things, all the things you do.


"Shine Across the Sea"

All I wanna do with you
Is stay inside you for a month or two.
Things would be the same as before, as before.

Everything you do to me,
I love to watch you coming endlessly.
Things would be the same as before, as they were.

Before you blink your eye,
Seven years go by.
You gave your hand to me.
Rings of gold shine across the sea.
You are the only one, right back to you I run
’Til you’re coming into view.
I love how you love me, I love how you let me love you.

Every empty day on tour
Becomes more boring than the day before,
And I don’t want to play without you, without you,
Without you my love, without you.

Shine across the sea, shine across the sea.
Send my love to you, bring your love to me.
Shine across the sea, shine across the sea.
Send my love to you, send your love to me.
Shine across the sea, shine across the sea.


"Blonde Haired Girl"

I don’t think I’m foolish, I’m not unaware.
I never thought I’d run into a lass so fair.
I’m high on a mountain, tell all the world
Always wanted me a Southern blonde haired girl.

It was Louisville I know, about a year ago or so
I saw an angel walking through the grass.
She was glowing head to toe,
And I was sure I better go
And get to her before that vision passed.

I don’t think I’m foolish, I’m not unaware.
I never thought I’d run into a lass so fair.
I’m high on a mountain, tell all the world
Always wanted me a Southern blonde haired girl.

I was drivin’, it was raining
When that vision of her came to me,
I saw her clearly in my mind.
And it was right then and there
I started searching everywhere.
I wasn’t ever leaving her behind.

I swear to you people, my hand’s in the air,
I never thought I’d run into a love so rare.
I’m high on a mountain, tell all the world
Always wanted me a Southern blonde haired girl.

Well I was never very lucky,
But that evening in Kentucky
Showed me everything that lay ahead.
It was more than I expected,
Like we always been connected.
Now that angel’s sleeping in my bed.

I don’t think I’m foolish, I’m not unaware.
I never thought I’d run into a lass so fair.
I’m high on a mountain, tell all the world
Always wanted me a Southern blonde haired girl.

I swear to you people, my hand’s in the air,
I never thought I’d run into my love so rare.
Yeah I’ll give her children, tell all the world
Always wanted me a Southern blonde haired girl.
