Uncle Kracker Album

It still feels good

You were always there to bring me breakfast in bed
And when I stayed out late you had some powder for my head
I've been a bad man
But you never paid no mind

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

I believe in something I just don't know what it is
And every time I climb I wind up back on the skids
You always stood by me
When the natives start to whine

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

You're like an angel with a twelve gauge
You're like a wheel man on a get away

And together we ride
You ain't Bonnie, I ain't Clyde
But we made it out of town just the same

I could take a taxi but it's better when you drive
You always come between me and the mess outside
I could buy you a ring
But you'd rather have the cash
And that don't even rhyme

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

And together we ride
You ain't Bonnie, I ain't Clyde
But we made it out of town just the same

I could take a taxi but it's better when you drive
You always come between me and the mess outside
I could buy you a ring
But you'd rather have the cash
And that don't even rhyme

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

We've had some long nights
But we're alright this time

I stayed out late last night
But nothing I could drink could help me drink you off my mind
Everywhere I looked
Ooh, I saw your face

And I wonder, and I wonder if there still might be
A little space in your heart for me
'Cause I'm so cold, I'm so alone
And I miss you, babe

So won't you come to my rescue?
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if you don't

'Cause I'm a mess here without you
Ain't no pill for this pain
So please, please come to my rescue baby
Baby right away

I was a fool to leave
Leave behind everything that meant everything to me
Every day and night
Mmm, my heart pays the price

And I'm out here, stranded out here, on this lonely road
I'm so lost won't you lead me home
I need you back, need one more chance
And I miss you, babe

So won't you come to my rescue?
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if you don't

'Cause I'm a mess here without you
Ain't no pill for this pain
So please, please come to my rescue baby
Baby, right away

I'm drowning baby
I need you to save me, yeah
Don't leave me like this
Throw me a line, baby one more time

So won't you come to my rescue?
Shake this pain from my soul
And take this fool back in your heart baby
I'll go crazy if you don't

'Cause I'm a mess here without you
Ain't no pill for this pain
So please, please come to my rescue baby
Baby, right away, make it right away, baby right away

Half a mile outside Buloxi
Did I come or did I go?
Seven sirens singin' to me
Why I listen I don't know?

I got some smokes, I got some coffee
My head is ready to explode
I'll be makin' my way further down the road

I'm not much for conversation
And I don't care for playin' games
I've heard all the hard luck stories
Man they all turn out the same

I'm the last lonely survivor
And I'm still carryin' their load
I'll be makin' my way further down the road

I'll be makin' my way
I wanna get there some day
I'll be makin' my way
Past the one eyed jocks, layin' rail road tracks in my soul

I'll be makin' my way
I wanna get there some day
I'll be makin' my way
Past the one eyed jacks, layin' rail road tacks in my soul

Sometimes I wake up with a fever
Then I just have another beer
I'd like to wake up to a new life
A million miles away from here

But I got beam instead me chasin'
And I live by the legend's code
I'll be makin' my way further down the road
I'll be makin' my way further down the road

I can learn to live alone and move on with my life
There's a million things that I can do to occupy my time
I can wake each morning, I can go about my day
I can fumble through my words until I find a few to say
But the hardest thing I've had to do since we've been apart
Is learning how to deal with all this pain inside my heart

'Cause I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you
I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you

I can work all day or I can hang out every night
I can do the wrong things and pretend that they're alright
I can make believe that everything is cool
And put on the face that covers up the lies of a fool

But I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you
I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you

You said that time would ease the pain
But I still hear your voice whisper my name
Since you've been gone my world stands still
You said I'd forget but I never will

Don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you
I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you

I can write a song and make the whole world laugh or cry
I can use some words to paint a vivid picture in your mind
I can use my hands to wipe the dust off this guitar
And let the music that I'm playing take my mind off my heart

But I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you
I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you

You said that time would ease the pain
But I still hear your voice whisper my name
Since you've been gone my world stands still
You said I'd forget, but I never will

Don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you
I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you

Don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you
I don't know how, don't know how
Don't know how not to love you

The birds outside my window
Want to drive this stupid song into my head
I wake up in this empty bed alone
I guess it's somethin' that I said
I tried to open up a door between us
But I guess it was a wall instead
And I try and I try
And it tears me all up inside

Tell me your dreams
What do they mean?
And what do we want from each other?
Where do we go?
Nobody knows
And what do we want from each other?

Seven forty-five
I got a flight
But you're still mad about last night
Tear apart Pandora's box
I try to open every lock in sight
And I try and I try
And it tears me all up inside

Tell me your dreams
What do they mean?
And what do we want from each other?
Where do we go?
Nobody knows
And what do we want from each other?

Another Sunday mornin' comin' down
But I'm tryin' to see the bright side
Another cold and unforgiving dawn
I wish I was on your right side
(Right side)
I wish that you could understand
That words can fail the best intentions, ma'am
And I try and I try
And it tears me all up inside

Tell me your dreams
What do they mean?
And what do we want from each other?
Where do we go?
Nobody knows
And what do we want from each other?

Tell me your dreams
What do they mean?
And what do we want from each other?
Where do we go?
Nobody knows
And what do we want from each other?

And them birds outside my window
Wanna drive this stupid song into my head

I was born on the cold side of the mountain
I wanna wake up on the warm side of the bed
How I start here?
And how I end there?
That is the part, I ain't worked out yet

Every day, I climb a little bit higher
Every night, I learn something new
I'm writin' it down
In case I forget
One day it'll be my story for you

On every page, you will know, how much I love you?
In every line, you will see, how much I care?
With every word, we'll grow a little closer
Even though, we both know, I can't be there
That's why I'm writin' it down down down down down
Ohh hoo, I'm writin' it down
For you and for me
And for the whole wide world to read
Ohh hoo, I'm writin' it down

All my life I've been hopin' and prayin'
For my time to finally arrive
To put down this pen
To say it's the end
And wake up back home with you by my side

On every page, you will know, how much I love you?
In every line, you will see, how much I care?
With every word, we'll grow a little closer
Even though, we both know, I can't be there
That's why I'm writin' it down down down down down
Ohh hoo, I'm writin' it down
For you and for me
And for the whole wide world to read
Ohh hoo, I'm writin' it down

I was born on the cold side of the mountain
I wanna wake up on the warm side of the bed
How I start here?
And how I end there?
That is the part, I ain't worked out yet

And you'll always have a place at my table
Hey dinner's ready come on and eat
Get her done

This ain't no Memphis soul songs and Motown rhythm and blues
Or smoky broken soundtracks of my every childhood moves
Soothin' are the cameras lookin' out at my back forty
Lord I don't know where I'd be if not from Berry Gordy
See my story ain't that simple and it don't stop here
Patsy Cline still echos through my younger years
I know you can hear me 'cause the music never stops
George Jones sang me to sleep whether he knows it or not

And I'll always lend a hand if I'm able
And you'll always have a place at my table

I've been this whole world over with Detroit on my mind
But I've got friends in Tennessee, Atlanta and Caroline
We don't need no money and we don't want no grief
But if you came to give some you'll be pickin' up your teeth

And I'll always lend a hand if I'm able
And you'll always have a place at my table

That's your Uncle Kracker sittin' back there on that back porch
And I think sittin' back here I can see, everything I need to see
I think out yonder I see poor old Mr. Bradford fuelin' up the Benz
Everythin' is truly everythin' that's all it can ever be
And that sure is good enough for me

And I'll always give ya help when I'm able
And you'll always have a place at my table

And I'll always lend a hand if I'm able
And you'll always have a place at my table
Get her done

Well she was lookin' out the window
An' I was starin' at the door
The dog was sleepin' on the sofa
This place has never been this quiet before

You can't pretend it never happened
You can't pretend it's still the same
You can't say you were only jokin'
You can't keep thinkin' at things can go on this way

Somethings you can't take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you can't take back
Though the glass has been broke
An' the milk has been spilled
An' your love's on the line
Some things you can't take back

When someone says there's no tomorrow
When the writings on the wall
After all is cried and spoken
An' your poor heart has taken such a fall

Somethings you can't take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you can't take back
Though the glass has been broke
An' the milk has been spilled
An' your love's on the line
Somethings you can't take back

If I could reset the clock and go back in time
I'd erase the thoughts that went through my mind
You know I never would leave
An' I'd still have you with me

You can't pretend it never happened
You can't pretend it's still the same
You can't say you were only jokin'
You can't keep thinkin' at things can go on this way

Somethings you can't take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you can't take back
Though the glass has been broke
An' the milk has been spilled
An' your love's on the line
Somethings you can't take back
'Cause in the cold light of day the pieces all blew away
An' now I'm livin' a lie
Somethings you can't take back

Hey whatchu tryin' to do?
Why you tryin' to see through me baby
It's way too hazy

Hey I'm still feelin' the same
So don't go tryin' to change me baby
You can't save me

So many people try to bring me down
They wouldn't last a second in my town

Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes
Unless you're puttin' up somethin' to lose

I said, "Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes tonight"

You stem so far from the truth
You hide inside all your talkin' papers
Flashin' statements

You never put your money down
And watched the big wheel go around and take it
Or end up naked

All you do is follow me around
Then you go ahead and ride it down

Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes
Unless you're puttin' up somethin' to lose

I said, "Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes tonight"

Don't try walkin' inside my shoes
Unless you're puttin' up somethin' to lose
I said, "Don't try walkin' inside my shoes" Baby, baby

I said, "Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes
Unless your puttin' up somethin' to lose"

I said, "Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes
Unless your, unless your, unless your"

Hey I've always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythmic blues man
Don't try walkin' inside my shoes tonight

Well, you can move it on down the highway
You can turn another page
And when you finally get to the old folk's home
Then you can finally act your age

I can make a million dollars
And you can spend it as fast as it comes
And you can sit there and cry on a bed full of lies
And be thinking that you got you some

There'll be songs about me, there'll be songs about you
There'll be songs about everything from money to blues
But there won't be no songs of regret
'Cause I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
No, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet

You can hear me on the radio
You can see me on TV
You'll have to dig you a hole just to find your soul
And get you a word from me

You can run as fast as an hour glass
You can fly as high as the wind
See, you can be strong for as long as you'd like
But you'll end up right back where you've been

There'll be songs about me, there'll be songs about you
There'll be songs about everything from money to blues
But there won't be no songs of regret
'Cause I ain't wrote no songs like that yet

I've got a song for every occasion
I've been told I got a way with words
I've been told that I'd be loved forever
I've been sold on the lies that I heard

I've been bold in my days, I've been gold in my ways
I've been packed up and rolled out and thrown out away
I belong to a song, for as long as I say
But I'll always have a song to play

There'll be songs about me, there'll be songs about you
There'll be songs about everything from money to blues
But there won't be no songs of regret
'Cause I ain't wrote no songs like that yet

There'll be songs about me, there'll be songs about you
There'll be songs about everything from money to blues
But there won't be no songs of regret
'Cause I ain't wrote no songs like that yet

No, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
No, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
Baby, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
Oh, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet

No, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
I ain't wrote no songs like that yet
Baby, I ain't wrote no songs like that yet

It must have been about a hundred years, at least a hundred years
I wish you could come back, just come back home

The day we met feels like a hundred years ago
And I'm still waiting with my hand right by the telephone
Yeah maybe where you are you cannot make that call
Or you can't find a pen, I know it's not your fault

My friends think I'm insane 'cause I've turned old and gray
And I'm still waiting and I cannot be alone

Please come home
Please come home

I watch the clock hands tick, my hours turn to days
And I can't fall asleep 'cause I don't want to miss that ring
I know that this year that your car will park outside
But I can't put my arms around the girl who took my life

My friends think I'm insane 'cause I've turned old and gray
But I'm still waiting and I cannot be alone

So please come home
Ooh, baby please come home
Yeah, baby, baby

It's been so long, it's been about a hundred years and a million dreams
Since the last time I'd seen your pretty face
I would do whatever it takes, I would wait another hundred years
And if that didn't work, maybe I'll try and see what forever feels like
But until' then, and I know you hear me, and whatever you're doin'
Wherever you are, please come home

The day we met feels like a hundred years ago
And I'm still waiting for you
Baby baby, won't you please come home
Please come home
Won't you please come home
Please come home
Won't you please come home
Please come home

I remember you like it was yesterday
Remember the time you said you'd find me
I remember the songs that you used to play
I hear them still and it reminds me

My runaway you know you've gone wrong
For so long
So glamorous at the outset
Now, you're almost done

You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls

Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel

You're not free
You're only lost

Prayin' to God
You've broken the chains
One day you'll look back
And think of my name

All of your friends
Pretend you're the best
They run you around
But they could care less

They'll never see
How good it could be
No man like me

They'll never know
Just where it could go
You think you're free

You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls

Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel

You stumbled
And you still don't see it
The losers always think they can win

You're never gonna wanna believe it
You think you're gone
But I see you, yeah

You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls

Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel

You're not free
You're only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls

Livin' on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you can't feel

You're not free
You're only lost
You're not free
You're not free
You're not free

The days seem so familiar
There's something about the evenings
Even though they change every now and then

Well, I can be myself here
And I can free myself here
I can't believe it's last night again

I see things go down, I hear the talk of the town
Like an echo in my ear
If you should look for me, I'll be right here

I can leave myself here
Or I could use some help here
I can't believe it's last night again

It's a lonesome sound when this bar shuts down
So I guess I'll have one more
Nothin' out there I ain't seen before

I can leave myself here
I could use some help here
I can't believe it's last night again
I can't believe it's last night again
I can't believe it's last night again
