Shelby Lynne Album

Put me on a boat on the mighty Mississippi
Let old man river slow me down
Been too long gone from my sweet dixie
Chasin' a dream from town to town

So I called my baby in Mobile, Alabama
Said meet me in Memphis on the Jackson Queen
Tell you right now we ain't in no big hurry
To make our way down to New Orleans

Chorus
Slow me down
Somethin' 'bout the rhythm and the rollin' of the river
Slow me down
Rocks me like a baby in a rockin' chair
Slow me down
Sometin' 'bout the smell of a sweet magnolia
Slow me down
Makes me forget all my troubles and cares
Just a few more miles and I'll be there

Well I need a little time for some relaxation
A little bit of lovin' from my sugar pie
Only Heaven knows how my heart's been achin'
For a big yellow moon in a southern sky

(Repeat chorus and 3rd verse)

[No lyrics]

Good mornin', darlin'
Can I bring you some coffee in bed?
Did you sleep well?
We got a full day ahead
I love you too dear, I love you too

Talkin' to myself again
Ever since he left, that's how it's been
Goin' crazy, playin' just pretend that everything is still ok
Talkin' to myself again
Without his lovin' I am at loose ends
If I'm not careful they will have to send someone to lock me away

Good night honey
Sure had a beautiful day
Ain't we lucky to have each other this way
I'm so happy too, dear
So happy too

Talkin' to myself again
Ever since he left, that's how it's been
Goin' crazy, playin' just pretend that everything is still ok
Talkin' to myself again
Without his lovin' I am at loose ends
If I'm not careful they will have to send someone to lock me away
Talkin' to myself again

(Shelby Lynne - Jamie O'Hara - Brent Maher)

Chorus
Restless, so restless
Missin' you a baby
Is a makin' me a crazy and blue
Restless, so restless
Sittin' here wishin'
I was huggin' and a kissin' on you

Well, I wake up every hour
On the hour every night
Countin' down the minutes
Til you're here to hold me tight
This bed is full of empty
When I'm lyin' here alone
I got a deep desire
Baby come back home

Chorus

Instrumental

Well, I've walked a hundred miles
Pacin' up and down the halls
Another pot of coffee and I'm bouncin' off the walls
Smokin' like a chimney cussin' up a storm
Damn, I need your lovin'
Baby come back home

I'm restless, so restless
Sittin' here wishin'
I was huggin' and a kissin' on you

Sittin' here wishin'
I was huggin' and a kissin' on you

Restless, so restless
Restless, so restless

[No lyrics]

(Jamie O'Hara - Brent Maher)

Chorus
Hey now little darlin'
What ya gonna do when I ain't around
Hey now little darlin'
What ya gonna do when the sun goes down
Hey now little darlin'
What ya gonna do in the pourin' rain
Hey now little darlin'
What ya gonna do when you feel that pain

This time I ain't just talkin'
This time I'm really walkin'
Your love's the hurtin' kind
I'm movin' down the line
Down the line

Chorus
Hey now little darlin'
What ya gonna do when I ain't around
Hey now little darlin'
What ya gonna do when the sun goes down

I'm tired of all your lyin'
I'm tired of all my cryin'
The one thing you do right is wrong
I've hung around far too long
Far too long

Repeat First Chorus

What ya gonna do when you feel that pain
What ya gonna do when you feel that pain

What ya gonna do when I ain't around
What ya gonna do when the sun goes down
What ya gonna do in the pourin' rain
What ya gonna do when you feel that pain

(Craig Wiseman - Kent Blazy)

You said she's the one you love
But lately you can't get along
And every time you turn around
Something else just turns out wrong

You say that work takes all your time
And you're dead when you walk through the door
You'd give that ladder you have climbed
To have the love you had before

Chorus
But I'm not the one you should be talking to
Understanding all you're going through
Hey, there's really nothing I can do
But tell you where I'd walk if I were in your shoes

And I'm not the one who should be hearing this
She needs to know how much you miss her kiss
Oh you tell me that your heart's still true
But I'm not the one you should be talking to

You should be walking out the door
Instead of lying here with me
Oh you're wasting precious time
Time with her is all you need

Well it may not be too late
To get back all those dreams you shared
And it'd be easy as a touch
I she only knew how much you cared

Repeat Chorus

Oh you say you feel like a fool
But I'm not the one you should be talking to

Every now and then i get to feelin' blue.
Ain't no deal baby, i get through.
Well a cryin and a moanin just ain't my way.
The blues may come, but the blues won't stay.

I reach for the rhythm,
and i reach for the rhythm.
Well i reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away.

Yes i do get crazy every now and then.
About where i'm goin or where i've been.
Oh but when my life is like a stormy day,
i ain't gonna let it stay that way.

I reach for the rhythm,
and i reach for the rhythm.
Well i reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away.

Hey there's really nothin to it i surrender to the music
and i wind up singing along.
If i can sing and i can swing,
well then there ain't too much too wrong.

I reach for the rhythm,
and i reach for the rhythm.
Well i reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away.

Hey there's really nothin to it i surrender to the music
and i wind up singing along.
If i can sing and i can swing,
well then there ain't too much too wrong.

I reach for the rhythm,
and i reach for the rhythm.
Well i reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away.

Well i reach for the rhythm and throw my cares away

(Rod McGaha)

Once upon a time you gave your love to me
Now we've grown apart
Wish I knew how to love you
Wish I knew how to make you mine
Seems the harder that I try, you run from me
Well I guess I'll never hold you again
The times we've shared together
Were like a dream come true
But now my life is empty
Without holding you
My mind is so confused
I've given all my love to you
Oh but, still, I wish I knew

I just don't want to understand
How I can please you
Cause I've tried everything
And nothing seems to do
Is there a place for me
Is there a way to reach your heart
Is there any hope for us
Oh but, still, I wish I knew

Please somebody tell me
What I'm supposed to do
I don't want to guess anymore
About what I'm supposed to do

Oh, maybe some day
I'll find my way to you
And maybe some day
Oh but, still, I wish I knew

Still, I wish I knew

When it's my time to go
I'll be singin' hi-de-ho
And if i'm truely glory bound
I'll be found in swingtown

If i saw Count and Cab
And met the Duke Man that'd be fab
And when my time rolls around
Just lay me down in swingtown

CHORUS
And let the heavens swing with all their melodies
Put their names upon a big marquis
And when they need someone to sing a harmony
If i'm there please let 'em call on me

INSTRUMENTAL

If i walked up to those pearly gates
And met Bob Wills that'd be great
Tell Ole Satchmo to come around
We'll all get down in swingtown

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT FIRST VERSE
