Uncle Kracker Album

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side
Of my pillow, that's right

Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where
You send me, lets me know that it's okay
Yeah, it's okay
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone,
Somehow you come along just like
A flower pokin' through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain, and just like that

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile

I hear a lot of records on the radio
A lot of love songs
They make me sing along
I sing straight from my heart right into yours
Complete with cliché and metaphor you heard before
It’s ringin’ in my head because it rings true
I know you’re missin’ me
Like I been missin’ you
And I can never get enough
No never get enough of a good thing

Does the world really need another love song?
Another “you don’t know how much I miss you when you’re gone”
Another “I don’t know if I can live without you”
Another “baby you, baby oh…” oh I don’t think I’ll ever know

I-I-I-I-I love you
Another love song
I-I-I-I-I do
Another love song

Time and time again we need a little break
From the give and take
We make the same mistakes
I know I’ve never been the one to let my feelings show
And I guess in that regard I’m really not alone
We could all use a push and when it comes to shove
We sing of life and love and a lack thereof
But with a little bit of luck we could never get enough of a good thing

Does the world really need another love song?
Another “you don’t know how much I miss you when you’re gone”
Another “I don’t know if I can live without you”
Another “baby you…” oh I…

Does the world really need another love song?
Another “you don’t know how much I miss you when you’re gone”
Another “I don’t know if I can live without you”
Another “baby you, baby…” oh I don’t think we’ll ever know

I-I-I-I-I love you
Another love song
I-I-I-I-I do
Another love song

My brown-eyed girl, give it away
Just give me some of that Marvin Gaye
Dobie Gray’s a good place to start
Go ahead and take a little piece of my heart

So does the world really need another love song?
Another “you don’t know how much I miss you when you’re gone”
Another “I don’t know if I can live without you”
Another “baby you, baby oh, baby ooh, baby…”

Does the world really need another love song?
Another “you don’t know how much I miss you when you’re gone”

I-I-I-I-I love you
Another love song
I-I-I-I-I love
Another love song
I-I-I-I-I love you
Another love song
I-I-I-I-I love you
Another love song

Hey mom and dad, I don't know where to start.
I hate to break the news, but I got a broken heart.
That sweet southern belle, that I met in Tennessee
Got a hickey on her neck and it ain't from me.
Seems there's someone special she's been meeting at the gym,
but the crazy thing about it, is that someone's not a him.

"Chorus"
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
It was cool for a minute, now its bringing me down.
People talkin' bout it all over this town.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.

All my friends say, she's just going through a phase
and I believed her when she said I just need a little space
But then I found pictures on her cellular phone,
of them doing things, when I wasn't home
It hit me like a brick, I guess I should have seen the signs
This was more than just a friend and a bottle of wine.

"Chorus"
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
It was cool for a minute, now its bringing me down.
People talkin' bout it all over this town.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.

Yeah mom and dad, really nothing left to say
I'll be sure to keep you posted if she swings it back this way
I guess I'm not as sad as you think I might be
The part that makes me mad is that they didn't invite me.

"Chorus"
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
It was cool for a minute, now its bringing me down.
People talkin' bout it all over this town.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.

Funny how things change
yet they always stay the same
and the simple things in life
just get tossed into the flames
and I've been down that road before
where you just gotta roll the bones
I don't have much money in my pocket
but I didn't leave none at home

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I'll keep livin' the life
Living the dream on my own.

A million roads to go and
A million roads behind me
I've heard so many stories told
But the good ones never find me
I ain't got no crystal ball
thats showing me the way
I dont't know which way I'm goin
But I'll get there someday singing

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I'll keep livin' the life
Living the dream on my own.

And after all I've been through
There is nothing left to prove
I'm starting to believe
we could all live the dream
One day at a time
Yes I'm starting to believe
we could all live the dream

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
and I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And and I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I'll keep livin' the life
Living the dream on my own.

Once upon a time in the land of plenty
The land of lawyers, guns and money
A funny little thing we all call greed
Brought my hometown down to its knees

A little bit worried about the shape I'm in
Baby needs shoes and the wallet's thin
Got no gas or electricity
But everybody's singin' in harmony…

Sell me up, sell me down
Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

No block party, everybody's evicted
No street lights, no runnin' liquids
I got no room on my credit card
And I'm three court dates from the prison yard

My credit score's fallen like the New York Mets
There ain't a debt collector that ain't called yet
They say money don't talk, it only swears
Got me cussing in my underwear

Sell me up, sell me down
Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

Once upon a time in America
The politicians went and fell outta love
There was a raping of the common man
And left us sittin' here without no plan

Swimmin' through bills like Michael Phelps
Down and out and can't get no help
The kids are hungry
Peepin' French Poodles
Pickin' through dumpsters for Ramen noodles

Standin' in line with a family to feed
Tradin' Manhattan for Indian beads
It's been a long time since we felt good
Got everybody waitin' on Robin Hood

Sell me up, sell me down
Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

Once upon a time in America
The politicians went and fell outta love
There was a raping of the common man
And left us sittin' here without no plan

Sell me up, sell me down
Be sold out sittin' here hangin' around
Take my house, take my car
But you can't take my seat at the corner bar
Take my crib, take my car
But I'm keepin' my seat at the corner bar

Hey it's me, again
I'm just checkin' in
Wonderin' how you've been
Yeah it's been awhile
Nothin' much has changed
I hope you're doin' okay
I just called to say
You've been on my mind

And I hope the next time you fall in love
You get everything you've been dreamin' of
You deserve a happiness that sees no end
But next time you fall in love
I hope it's with me again

Well baby I could lie
Say that I'm doin' great
Truth is I miss the way
I feel when I'm with you

And I hope the next time you fall in love
You get everything you've been dreamin' of
You deserve a happiness that sees no end
But next time you fall in love
I hope it's with me again

Cause you and I were never meant to be apart
What we had is better than where we are
I promise that I'll never leave you in the dark

Baby I miss you

Yeah, I hope the next time you fall in love
You get everything you've been dreamin' of
Yeah, I hope the next time you fall in love
I give you everything you've been dreamin' of
I'll give you a happiness that sees no end
The next time you fall in love
I hope it's with me again
Me again

Nobody blowin' up my phone
I ain't buzzin' and I ain't stoned
But I'm ridin', flyin' higher than the blue sky

If you don't like me brother that's okay
I ain't gonna let it wreck my day
I keep stylin', smilin'
Handin' out the sunshine
I got no good reason why

Damn, it feels good to be me
Seats laid back in my Cutlass Supreme
I'll be alright
Rollin' these streets all summer long
Damn, I got it all figured out
I got no worries that I'm worried about
It's like I caught some crazy, happy disease
Damn, it feels good to be me

Bought some cheap shades at the Amoco Station
They make me feel like I'm on vacation
On my own island
Motor city paradise
Ain't it funny how time flies

Damn, it feels good to be me
T-Top's down in my Cutlass Supreme
I'll be alright
Rollin' these streets all summer long

Damn, I got it all figured out
I got no worries that I'm worried about
It's like I caught some crazy, happy disease
Damn, it feels good to be me

Got no particular place to go
My Alpine's pumpin' some Motown soul
Rockin' to a Papa Was A Rollin' Stone

Damn, it feels good to be me
Fresh pair of kicks and my old blue jeans
I'll be alright
Rollin' these streets all summer long

Damn, I got it all figured out
I got no worries that I'm worried about
It's like I caught some Coltrane Love Supreme

Damn, it feels good to be me
Coltrane Love Supreme
It feels so good
Coltrane Love Supreme
It feels so good
Coltrane Love Supreme
Damn, it feels good

She's probably in a Bentley
showing off her new fake boobies
tryin' to break into the movies
with some producer
who seduced her
with some sushi and cologne

She's probably down on Sunset
doin' all the things that she ain't done yet
with some actor she calls Hector
man I wish he meet Phil Spector
and he'd ask to take her home

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
she loves the beach
she loves to party everyday
Piña Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
ever since she went away
I hate California

Maybe she's livin' in a commune
dancin' with Hippies under the moon
it's all free love, weed and patchouli
and there's a guru named Visuli
and he's doin' her for sure

Maybe she's scummin' some big rap star
drinkin' pink Cosmos at the Sky Bar
those Hollyweirdos with their tofu, avocado
I bet she think she won the lotto good for her

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
she loves the beach
she loves to party everyday
Piña Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
ever since she went away
I hate California

I think I seen her on TV
last night on TMZ
with the pretty people on parade
she's sellin' Scientology with John, Tommy and Katie
man I guess she's really got it made

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
that string bikini and the sunshine on her face

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
she loves the beach
she loves to party everyday
Piña Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
ever since she went away
I hate California

Doctor, Doctor, can you save me?
I like my chicks a little crazy
Crazy in the head
Every train wreck got me buzzing', like I'm drunk on Robitussin
Fireworks in my bed… all night

Hip-hop don't stop
Drop it like it's burning' hot, damn
Here I go again

Hip-hop don't stop
Buy that girl another shot, damn
Gimme that gimme that gimme that
Hot mess
Gimme that gimme that gimme that
Hot mess

People tell me that it's my fault
Everyday I'm like a Na scar
Crashing', catching' fire
I like tequila on my sunrise
A little black around my blue eyes
Walking' on a wire
Let it ride…

Hip-hop don't stop

Drop it like it's burning hot, damn
Here I go again

Hip-hop don't stop
Buy that girl another shot, damn
Gimme that gimme that
Hot hot mess
Gimme that gimme that
Hot hot mess

Doctor, Doctor, can you save me?
She's dancing' on the bar and screaming'
She's singing'

Hip-hop don't stop
Drop it like it's burning' hot, damn
Here I go again

Hip-hop don't stop
Buy that girl another shot, damn
Gimme that gimme that
Hot hot mess
Gimme that gimme that
Hot hot mess

Lately I've been livin'
Feelin' unforgiven
Feels like I've been gettin'
Anything and everything wrong

Well I've always had my trouble
Lately it's been double
Somethin' busts my bubble
Keeps me barely floatin' along

But those days are behind me
You ain't gonna find me
Sittin' round, countin' raindrops

Hey Hey Hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah
I made it back, and
This time I'm here to stay
Hey Hey Hey

Now the clouds have parted
Let's get the party started
Call up the broken-hearted
Tell ‘em that I'm back in town
I'm buyin' the whole place a round

Bad days behind me
My baby beside me
I feel my luck starting to change

Hey Hey Hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah
I made it back, and
This time I'm here to stay
Hey Hey Hey
The sun is shining on my face

Bad days behind me
My baby beside me
I feel my luck starting to change

Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey
The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah
I made it back, and
This time I'm here to stay
Hey Hey Hey

The sun is shining on my face
And everythin' will be okay
It's a fact, yeah
I made it back, and
This time I'm here to stay
Hey Hey Hey

Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey

Another cigarette, whatever I can get
Everything I had I left behind
Pictures of the past
Things that never last
But satisfaction is… oh it's state of mind

Somehow, someway
With nothin' left to lose
The past has got me searching for someone like you

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Make another note
Letters that I wrote
I guess you should've known that I'd let you down

I heard it all before
I been through every door
But don't you be so quick
To count me out

You tried to knock me down
You kicked me in my head
You got me on the ground
But I'm not finished yet

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

You try to let me down
You kick me in my head
You got me on the ground
But I'm not finished yet

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

Put another candle in the wind
It's just another thing that I can't fix
Play another game that I can't win
But I'm not leaving it like this
Maybe I should find a common ground
Scratch another problem off my list
Go ahead and kick me when I'm down
But I'm not leaving it like this

I remember standing on the corner at midnight
Trying to get my courage up
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown
I loved to watch her do her stuff
Through the long lonely nights she filled my sleep
Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat
Down on Mainstreet

In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers
I used to watch ‘em through the glass
Well I'd stand outside at closing time
Just to watch her walk on past
Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet
As she made her way alone down that empty street
Down on Mainstreet

And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet
Down on Mainstreet
Down on Mainstreet
