Don't Lie
02:17
|
|||

I came home just the other night
The house felt like somebody was fighting
One last question I ask of you
Tell me why you do the things that you do
and don't lie
Don't lie to me
Don't lie
Don't like to me
It's gonna come back on you
Stepped out just to fetch the news
You come home with a two dollar bruise
Told me last week that you went and kicked it
But every day you're getting sicker and sicker
Don't lie/Don't lie to me/Don't lie/Don't lie to me
It's gonna come back on you
I know because I've made the mistake
of making up words when there's something at stake
There is no good reason to ever do it
Holding up a wall but anyone can see through it
Don't lie, Don't lie to me, Don't lie, Baby don't lie to me
It's gonna come back on you
Everything you do
Everything you say
Every little stupid game you try to play
Every waking hour and even in your dreams
you try to make things what they don't seem to be

TROUBLED TIMES DON'T WORRY
I LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DOWN
TAKE YOUR TIME, DON'T HURRY
I WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND
JUST THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN YOU WERE LOSING IT
AND NOBODY CAN DENY YOU MAKE A SHOW
NOW EVERYONE AROUND WHO SAYS THEY
GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU
WILL MAKE SURE YOUR ENEMIES WILL GET TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR TROUBLED TIMES....
YOU ROLLED OUT OF BED WITH A TON ON YOUR MIND
AND NO PLACE FOR YOU TO GO UNLOAD IT
SO INSTEAD YOU'RE GONNA SWEAT OUT THE TIME
IT TAKES FOR EVERY ONE TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR TROUBLED TIMES...
FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT MAPS
YOU SURE KNOW YOUR WAY AROUND THIS TOWN
ALL THAT TRAVELING AND YOU BARELY LEARNED
TO WALK
NOW IT'S TIME TO LAY YOUR WEARY BLUES DOWN
AND YOUR TROUBLED TIMES...
THE SUN WAS COMING UP AND YOU STILL WEREN'T DOWN
JUST LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PLACE TO ROLL
THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE WILL SOME REAL PROBLEMS
THEY'D BE FORTUNATE JUST TO GET TO KNOW
YOUR TROUBLED TIMES...

Lickety Split
03:00
|

|
You see that girl by the exit door
who made you realize your life's a bore
She caught you staring out the side of your eyes
She's bye bye
She did the Lickety Split
You want to play but she knows the game
She rolls her eyes when you ask her name
She's had enough with the average man
She's needs a heavy hand
or she Lickety Split
She likes to dance up until you drop
She likes to shake it to the Iggy Pop
but if you ask her just what she gets off on
she'll disappear
She'll dance the Lickety Split
She never listens to the megaphone
Her lights are on but she's never home
You'll won't find her looking at a wrist watch
She's got no time for it
She Lickety Split
She makes you feel about three feet tall
She got you punching through your bedroom walls
She lickety Split

Tired And Hungry
01:59

Tired and hungry baby looking for a home
She's a tired and hungry baby, looking for home
If she can't get situated, she'll just have to build her own
I just put another state or two in between me
and my sweet ones bed.
I just put another state or three in between me
and my sweet ones bed.
I'm not in the mood for talking and my hand can not be led
Somewhere somebody's getting married,
I hope they're dancing all night long
Somewhere somebody's getting hitched
I hope their dancing all night long
Somewhere somebody's coming home
to find their lover gone
Tired and hungry baby looking for a home
She's a tired and hungry baby looking for a home
You can't just leave it all up to trust
or leave your shiny silver to rust
If she can't get situated, she'll just have to build her own

Little Doggie (1962)

Hey little doggie , long time no see
Maybe you got a tight leash
but you don't have to turn on me
Hey hey little doggie, are you down?
Let's kick off the chains
and get high on the town
I know a jumpin' band
that's bound to sort your head out right
They're playin' Elmore James
and the Lonesome Whistle tonight
They're gonna make every woman in the house
get the Lovesick Blues
They're gonna make you feel like it's 1962
Hey little brother, let's get the "Tennessee shakes."
That's when you stir your whiskey
with the crust of an old corn cake
Hey little brother, what's it going to take you
I know the world's a mess
but we just can't let it break you.
solo
Hey little doggie, are you starting fade?
Just because your stuck in Kentucky
doesn't mean you'll never get away
Hey hey little doggie
do you feel alright?
Let's find a couple a red heads and paint this town tonight

Gallatin Pike Blues
02:55

If this stray dog keeps on howling
I believe that I will lose my mind
he cries all the night through
keeping stray dog time
Some folks say they live on the right side
some folks say they live on the wrong
well it's all the same to me
when there's nobody waiting at home
Andrew Jackson walked down to the river
on his way up to Washington
shot a man for calling him a coward
and then washed his hands
Police man hiding out
going to make your life a living hell
He's got your old room waiting
at the Davidson County Jail
I gave you good reason to doubt me
I gave you good reason to roam
now watch me jump back off this ol' freight
and call this dirty pike my home
From the Cumberland I can see the stones
where they laid John Hartford down
and his song still plays
so gentle on our minds now (turn your radio on)

Well I'm a crazy motherfucker from Shelby, Ohio
and I just got into town about an hour ago
And I can drive real fast 'cause my cousin's a cop here
Oh Lord I can see it in my dreams
I got a gun
Gonna make it clean
If I could just hate
a little while more
I could level this town
I could blow off the roof
I don't believe in the great beyond
I'm just leavin' my party hat on
and taking you with me
taking you with me/taking you with me/ takin' ya
Oh Lord, Look at my dreams
Family's crying over what they seen
when the newsman comes tell him right this way
I'm telling the world what I gotta say:
I don't believe in the great beyond
I'm just leavin my party hat on
and takin' you with me
takin' you with me/takin' you with me/takin' ya
Shot through the heart
and I'm to blame
Shot through the heart
and don't you forget my name.
I am the light(x8)
I am the light at the end of the tunnel
I'm an oncoming train

They Will Bury You
03:26

When you leave town
When you leave town you better leave for good
Said when you leave town when you leave town when you leave town
You better leave for good
And leave alone, like you know you should
And on the second day on the second day
On the second day you meet a girl
Too soon, too soon, too damn soon
She got up and ran
Left you sleeping with a pinecone in your hand
Never more, never more, never more will you be tied down
No, never more, never never more will you be locked down
You travel light, from town to town to town
Town to town to town
You come back home, people come back home
People come back home like they always do
They come back home like you always do
You come back home then they bury you
You come back home and they bury you
They bury you, they bury you, they will bury you

Four Queens
03:08
|

|
Skipped all the good stuff
and took straight up with the pills
Now you're underneath the table
licking dollar bills
They took you to the country
but you will never wean
The queen of clubs
just can't get clean
She traded silver
she traded up for gold
She sold the soil when the dirt got too old
She'll make you travel
'cause you know just what it means
The queen of spades lives in New Orleans
Gone too far with your money
far enough with your clothes
Put your rings up in the air
so that everybody knows
You wanted to go second class
now what did you expect?
The queen of diamonds is a long train wreck
Every now and then
you're satisfied until the end
Then all the king's horses
trample over you again
You may look forever
but you will not collect
when the queen of hearts
lies at the bottom of the deck

Not Cool
04:08
|
|||
|
First you told me one thing
then another in it's place
Everybody makes mistakes
just don't lie right to my face
Not cool
When I said I loved you
there was nothing in the way
Now the walls are coming up
you don't hear the words I say
Not cool
Must have had a thousand chances
just to prove that you could hang
Then why sabotage your own career
always falling on your face
Not cool
Now you're just a painter
working on your masterpiece
You're also your worst enemy
criticizing ev'rything
Not cool

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
