Kenny Wayne Shepherd Album

Up from the ashes, out of the flames
Keeps gettin' stronger, like a slow rollin' train
Watch it run
Oh, why do the good die young
Burnin' like a shootin' star
Born with a broken heart

Off in the distance, it was callin' my name
So I took me a ride, on that slow rollin' train
It still runs
But it seems that the good die young
Playin' on that sad guitar
Born with a broken heart
Burnin' like a shootin' star
Born with a broken heart

Seems it was over, before it begun
Killed by a bullet, from a six-string gun
Bang a drum
Oh, why do the good die young
Ridin' in a long black car
Born with a broken heart
Playin' on that sad guitar
Born with a broken heart
Burnin' like a shootin' star
Born with a broken heart

Needles in my heart, spell on my mind
Your powerful potion gets me every time
I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
Your kiss burns, through my dreams

Chorus:
Here it comes again
I don't stand a chance
Soul possession
Got me in a trance
Pullin' me back to you -
Deja voodoo

Fire in the dark, pounding in my brain
Driven by the chant calling out my name
I toss and turn, I can't sleep
Your kiss burns, through my dreams

[repeat first verse]
[repeat chorus]

I was over in Aberdeen
On my way to New Orleans
I was over in Aberdeen
On my way to New Orleans
Well them Aberdeen women told me
They would give me my gasoline

Aberdeen is my home
But they just don't want me around
Aberdeen is my home
But they just don't want me around
I'm gonna take these women
Take them out this town

Well just look over yonder
Coming down the road
Well just look over yonder
Coming down the road
That must be my baby coming
Tell me she don't want me no more

Well there's too many women
I ain't never seen
Well there's too many women
I ain't never seen
I bring too many women
Back from New Orleans

I was standin' 'round cryin'
With my heart right in my hand
I was standin' 'round cryin'
With my heart right in my hand
I was lookin' for that woman
One ain't got no man

Well just look over yonder
Where we used to live
Well just look over yonder
Where we used to live
Don't you know it's killing me baby
How we can't live here no more

Well it's goodbye baby
If I'm never gonna see you no more
Well it's goodbye baby
If I'm never gonna see you no more
I'm gonna tell everybody youve been
Still knockin' at my door

Chorus:
Shame, Shame, Shame
Shame on me for ever loving you baby
Shame, Shame, Shame
Ah Shame on me for ever loving you baby
Now you came and you went
Whats this poor boy to do?

Lord knows I tried
But you took everything that I owned (which wasnt much)
Lord knows I tried
But you took everything that I owned
Oh hey now little girl I wonder
That your love to me was just on loan (cuz I think it was)

Repeat Chorus

You say, "Come over baby, Come talk to me"
Then you drive me so crazy
I can't hardly see
If this keeps goin' on
I might just leave and not come back
I got one foot in your doorway
I got one foot on the path

Well you beg me to stay
Then you order me to go
All this up and down
Is wear and tear on my soul
I'm wonderin' if our future
Is gonna look just like our past
I got one foot in your doorway
I got one foot on the path

Now I love you, baby
Don't get me wrong
But this heart of mine
May not be that strong
You got me on your line
Reel me in or throw me back
I got one foot in your doorway
I got on foot on the path

You'd best thing about it, baby
But don't take too long
If we can't get it right
I'll just be movin' on
I can't wait forever
For us to get this thing on track
I got one foot in your doorway, baby
I got on foot on the path

It don't matter if you're rich
It don't make no differenve if you're poor
Simple things in like can make you mad to the core
It doesn't matter if you're young
Don't make no difference if you're old
You got to stand a little rain
Before you reach your pot of gold
Everybody gets the blues
Everybody got to cry
Take the good with the bad
Take the lows with the highs
Well you work and you worry
Spend your life paying dues
Everybody has a hard time sometime
Everybody gets the blues
Ain't no different for a woman


Than it is for a man
Everybody goes dancing
Everybody pays the band
Everybody got to take
Everybody got to give
Everybody got to live
Don't matter if you're fat
Don't matter if you're thin
Everybody got to lose
Everybody got to win
Don't matter if you're black
Don't matter if you're white
You know you got to get it wrong
To have a chance to make it right

[No lyrics]

I'm leaving you, woman
Before I commit a crime
I'm leaving you, woman
Before I commit a crime
You tried so hard to kill me
But baby, it was not my time

You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You put poison in my coffee
Instead of milk or cream
You're the evilest woman
I think I've ever seen

You mix my drink
With a can of Red Devil lye
You mix my drink
With a can of Red Devil lye
Then you sit right down
Watch me, hoping I might die

When I fell for you, baby
I really met my match
You use me, abuse me
But I keep comin' back
Let me up, baby, I've had enough

It never seems to matter
What we fight about
I'm the one who winds up
Down for the count
Let me up, baby, I've had enough

Chorus:


I love ya, I want ya
Just like I did before
I need ya, but if I leave ya
It's 'cause I just can't take no more

Somehow you remember
Every little thing that I've done
So baby, I surrender
I've lost and you have won
Let me up, baby, I've had enough

[chorus]

Seen her get up, seen her go down
Down to the riverside
Seen her jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
People do just what they will
Don't matter to the river, it's running still

Sun come up, sun go down
Down to the riverside
Sun jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
Every day just like the last
We sit and watch the water pass

Came a day the built a bridge
Down to the riverside
Over the way, on top of the ridge
Down to the riverside
Built a bridge for people to cross
But every other day, someone jumping off

You might think some boys they got it made
Down to the riverside
They got the money and the women and a place in the shade
Down to the riverside
That ain't no way to ease the pain
Can't listen to the river when it calls your name

Time's a wastin' now
And I ain't got no more time to play
Everything is changin' now
Pretty soon it's all gone away...gone away

Can we make the changes now
You know there's no other way
Now's the time, and the time is now
It's not the why, it's just the how

Chorus:
Have you looked around my friend
And really seen what's goin' down
Take a look into the sky
And lay your hand upon the ground
and i ask of you good neighbor
for, for a life-long favor
It is my faith I put in you

[repeat 2nd verse]
[repeat chorus]
