O.A.R. Album

i woke up with a headache from the night before
cause sometimes i drink
i spent the night with my head in a toliet bowl
it's where i like to think

i say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
i hate to lose all those itty-bitty pieces from my heart
la-la-la-ah-eh-oh

you ever spent all night thinking about your life
well i suggest you try
well it's something that you're gonna want to do in the night
cause i tend to cry

say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
i hate to lose all those itty-bitty pieces from my heart
la-la-la-ah-eh-oh

you ever spent all day thinking about the night
it's something that you do
when you're thinking way too much, you're out of sight
what you gonna do

i say cause i don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
i hate to lose all those itty-bitty pieces from my heart
la-la-la-ah-eh-oh
yeah yeah you

Ohh myyyy
20 throw down in my best bridge
and the man to my left has folded down
well johnny doubled up with a royal flush
i had three jacks and a pair of nines
my mind is turning - just two shots more
there's not much left to play
well then dude walks in, black hat on top
what am i, if i'm lucky
wasn't a county cop
cause i'm just runnin out of time

Who's up for game two
what to do
my wallet's gettin thin
and i just lost my watch last night
well i gotta problem
just one answer
gotta throw it all down
and kiss it goodbye
Yeah!
That was a crazy game of poker
(That was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(I lost it all)
but someday i'll be back again
And I, never to fold.
(never to fold)

Who's up for game three
i can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
And i just lost it all
well there's a man sittin next to me
Red, was smiling
cause its funny
i don't have no money tonight
yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

That was a crazy game of poker
(That was a crazy game of poker)
I lost it all
(I lost it all)
but someday i'll be back again
And I, never to fold.
(never to fold)

Bop bop bop...
I say now skittleedat dat,
Well how bout that?
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back

And I walked into the bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do, something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and I didn't turn around
Til I heard the sound of his feet falling on the ground
I looked over my shoulder and I saw a clown
And I said what'cha doin' in the bar tonight.

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

And I said, what'cha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat
I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
So he opened the door and said do what you're here for
I said I'm wandering round the road four to four
And I said I been walking for about a thousand years.

And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
I said that, was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw
But I'm not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
Don't give a shit cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kinda funky, kinda fine

And I drank a bottle of whiskey, 'fore I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sittin' across the table from me

And to my left was a man, he had no chin
Didn't really think about starting a scene
The man to my right wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Beacuse I took his money last night it's kinda funny
But now I'm just struggling--
I need a honey-bunny.
I don't know what to say anymore
So I'm just gonna go out, anywho...

So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said, how bout a revolution?
And he said right.
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die
I say of, you say a
I say revolution, and you say die dah dah
Day day oh!

On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from MY show
thats where i write my song all day long
the black rock, maryland that is

Sometimes, i just look around
taking the feeling coming out from the ground
thats just something i do sometimes
and then i just come out the door
taking the wind coming off of the shore
and thats just what im doing tonight

On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from the show
thats where i write my song all day long

When you are on your own
not speaking out is like fighting alone
and that is the worst damn way to fight
and when you are scared no more
you reach your hand out and just open the door
and thats just what I'm doing tonight

On the black rock is where i spend my time
writing a memory or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the black rock is where i like to go
After a long night comin home from MY show
thats where i write my song all day long
the black rock

About a one, maybe two, three, four, five years ago
Oh when I lived my days full of confusion, as you know
This comes and goes
But it leaves me upset all the time
Oh i was ready to do anything that was wrong
And I was looking for an answer, to just one of these questions here
So I went to this river side, to find me head so clear
And I saw this old man, sitting on a big black rock (black rock)
I said what's your name...he said i'm old man time

And my son well i've been waiting for you for long
You see that i can see your favors, that are growing in you strong
Well I can see that your so hurt, and I can see that your so vein
But you must listen to this thing I say and live through it all again
You must lose that anger, lose all that hate, it ain't gonna work no more
You see this world is runned by love and absolutely nothing more
So I laid down all my pain, and I got rid of my hate
And I love to get away and the black rock is where I stay
We all have a black rock, its in our minds, and I go there all the time
Its the black rock!

set out on the voyage of the conquering fools
looking for the gold and the modern day jewels
it come to pass what was stuck in my head
if i didn't quit on looking then i'm probably dead
i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
uh huh huh

people come and people go
but they never know what is going on
so they gotta try to be what they wanna be
what the hell is happening to me

i hit the road and i rolled up north
looking for the origin, the place of my birth
i didn't notice when i ran a red sign
hoping that everything would really be fine
i set out about an hour ago
looking for some gold, said hey oh
the big brass show
so i went and then he started to go
walking down the same old, same old road
thinking to myself, this is quite a struggle
what can i gotta do tomorrow
gonna find that gold
and conquer me some fools
hey hey, hey oh

conquering fools
conquering fools
conquer some fools
hey we're conquering fools

Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?
Now was it him who said that life is just a song?
Now I don't know what will keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love that's all in the dirt
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no no
Nah nah

Was it you who said that my life is over?
Baby it was over from the very start
And did you say that I won't be around downtown tomorrow?
Ah yes I will with a hardened heart

But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no way
Na uh

She can have anything she wants
But she really doesn't know about the way she taunts
It's tearin me apart,
It's tearin me apart
Get Away, get up, and get away

There was a man on the road bout an hour ago
and he was looking for a ride to New Mexico
Well we was driving by
Way too fast to know
Well then we got to the place on a high speed chase
There was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
And then she disappeared without a trace
I say without a trace

Well now we're kicking back and we're sipping beers
And there's a man telling stories about his inner fears
We was all choked up and too close to tears

Well then we moved on up to some margaritas
And we started making faces at the senoritas
Playing drinking games, but they were all too drunk to beat us

Well now, my car broke down about an hour ago
We were heading on down to New Mexico,
But, well we did not see the gas was low


Hey, hey, I said the gas was low
the gas was low
the gas was low
the gas was low
Hey, the gas was low. Hey.
Lalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaa

We got back to the party
We been on the road we're kinda dirty
I seen this girl I said you're mighty purty.

Well I said hello, bout an hour ago
We were heading on down to the big grass show,
But hey, we did not see, the gas was low

[Chorus]

About an hour, about an hour ago
About an hour, about an hour ago
About an hour... about - an hour ago.

Hoping to find something better
At least better than what ya thought
So many aisles to venture down
So many choices you thought

Then a man come walkin down the aisle
With a smile as white as rain
But mom she's gotta go away again
And I'm runnin with the pain

Yah, la la la la
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom knows it, so whatcha want
She says, one toy today, she says

Why only one or another or none at all
How come every time I trip I never fall
Then a man he come walkin down the aisle with a smile as white as rain
But mom she gotta go away again and I'm runnin with the pain

2x
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom knows it, so whatcha want
She says, one toy today

So many aisles to venture down
And there's nothin lookin nice
How come every time I look once, I have to look twice

But mom she's comin round the bend
And I'm buyin another toy
And she said son just come along with me
But I'm runnin with the boys

Yah la la la
2x
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom knows it, so whatcha want
She says, one toy today, she says

What can you say about tomorrow?
What do you know about my life?
What do you say to your daughter?
What do you tell to your wife?

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh
a la la la la eh eh

Say Mr. Brown how about your daughter.
Do you know what she’s done with her life?
And do you agree that we are lost here?
Well, among the lost we shall survive.

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh

What’s that you do when no one’s looking at you?
Where’s that you go after the show?
What’s that you say?

a hey hey hey

Say Mr. Brown about the weather?
Is it gonna rain on my parade?
Is your soul as light as a feather?
Am I flat out going insane?

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh
a la la la la eh eh

Say Mr. Brown how about your brother.
Do you see what he’s done with his life?
And while you’re chasing him out that front door,
He’s chasing you with a butcher knife.

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh
a la la la la eh eh

a la la la la eh eh
a la la la la eh oh
a la la la la eh eh

What’s that you say when the rain won’t go away?
What’s that you do when no one’s looking at you?
Where’s that you go after the show?
What’s that you say?

a hey hey hey

What’s that you say when the rain won’t go away?
What’s that you do when no one’s looking at you?
Where’s that you go after the show?

now peter sat on the mountain top
northern wind blowing through his hair
now peter never took the time to stop
he just stood out there and stared
i said but peter didn't care about the air down there
he was looking right at the sun
well the sun said son don't you come around here
and peter then began to run
hey

now peter he never cried too much
he just looked out toward the west
he was dreaming of a land that was way over there
and dreaming of what comes next

but peter didn't care about the air down there
he was looking right out at the sun
and the sun said son come around here
and peter started to run

he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
well, hey-oh

now peter started walking down the mountain
just runnin out toward the west
it was slippery like the water from a fountain
and peter thought that was best

cause he slid down there to the town over there
And the people just started to cry
And peter didn't care about the air
And peter was never shy

he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day

he sang out loud to a unified crowd
singing something about he thought he was
but the crowd didn't care about the air up there
and peter wasn't nothing but nothing

peter didn't care, he just looked over there
and the crowd was smiling back
he was singing at his heart and praying to his soul
that they would ask him back

he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
well, hey-oh

now peter
was looking around to the back
mountain slipped from under his feet

he didn't really care about the air down there
he looked right at the sun
the sun said son don't you come around here
so peter then began to run

he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
he said la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
la-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-dan-day
