I flew out to California
I can’t say it was a waste of time
I was staring in the eyes
of the burning hills and the hollywood lights
out of all the conversations
over pretty drinks and god knows
I met a man on the west coast that saved my life

He told me money burns fast and the truth it goes down hard
Lawyers lie lovers cheat but there’s nothing like a broken heart
there are many things I’ve done
that I’ve lived to regret
so make your moves count
cause you ain’t dead yet

Stranded back in Georgia I was itching to get up and go
I called my momma, middle of the night
she never understood my rambling ways
but I think momma had a few of her own
cause there was a silence before she said good bye

She told me money burns fast and the truth it goes down hard
Lawyers lie lovers cheat but there’s nothing like a broken heart
there are many things I’ve done
that I’ve lived to regret
so make your moves count cause you ain’t dead yet

I was standing by his grave talking like he was there
I felt the wind pick up sweet scent on the air
He was a blues man and my best friend
went before his time
I bowed my head and prayed asking for a sign

and I heard
money burns fast and the truth it goes down hard
Lawyers lie lovers cheat but there’s nothing like a broken heart
there are many things I’ve done
that I hope you live to regret
so make your moves count cause you ain’t dead yet

I can make a woman weak
I can make a small man stand tall
I can start wars and I can put an end to them all
I can chain you down and I can set you free
I can make you feel so high and bring you down to your knees

my name is money
money is my name
hello my name is money
money is my name

I can make it rain on you but lord I sure do shine
I can bring you love, but I’m not the settle down kind
I can make your eyes light up put a dazzle in your smile yeah
I can make you die for me without a single question why

my name is money
money is my name
hello my name is money
money is my name

I can show you who your friends are
i can show you who they are not
I can change your mind without a second thought

My name is money
money is my name
all the pretty girls think it’s sexy
when the rich boys say my name
yeah yeah yeah hello
my name is money

The last time I swore it was the last time
and the time before i swear i swore the same
honey this time baby i wont make a promise
ive given up im never gonna change

so pass that bottle im jumping off this wagon
it never seemed to get me very far
you can say what you will
 but i’m drinking til i get my fill
so if your looking darling ill be at the bar

ive always had this black streak up my back
and the night time plays a song i like to sing
so if you dont like the way i run my shop
my friends dont seem to mind my company

so pass that bottle im jumping off this wagon
it never seemed to get me very far
you can say what you will
 but i’m drinking til i get my fill
so if your looking darling ill be at the bar

tomorrow morning my head it will be ringing
and the look thats in my eyes it may be scary
so i guess ill have to drag myself to the kitchen
and find that bottle of 90 for bloody marys

Oh leave me here and let me be
Don’t you take my hand so that I may not see?
Oh nothing is ever what it’s cracked up to be
And hearts get broken but please don’t let it be me
Shield my eyes from the ways of love
For I want to believe what I offer is enough
To hold one moment long enough to last a whole life time
I know hearts get broken but please don’t let it be mine

Well one day some day oh one day my dreams they will come true
Will I walk that ribbon of red with my arms holding you?

Save my soul and pull me from from the flames
I have fallen into love without a face of shame
I know that forever is a word used so carelessly
So many speak of love much too eagerly
So shelter my body with the weight of yours
And hold me like you’ve never held another before
Give your heart to me
Precious and true I know hearts get broken
But I swear I won’t let it be you
Oh one day, someday, one day the black bird will fly
Will you meet me there my love and walk that ribbon in the sky
Will you meet me there my love and walk that ribbon in the sky

Stopped in my tracks
like a heart attack
oh you you really got to me
so short of breath
so real I cant handle it
the way you affect me so easily

oh so I try with all my might 
to do what’s right and let you pass by
Please just dont call me tonight
cause’ I just might

wait a minute listen to me
I’m talking crazy and I’m wrong I know
 to say these things out loud
there are no words i cant explain
the way i feel its just too hard to name
and im too scared anyway to figure it out

so i try with all my might to do whats right
and let you pass by
oh but your tempting and this whiskey wont help me
to hold back these feelings I keep buried inside
oh please just dont call me tonight 
I just might

you’ve got me feeling so strange 
I don’t know who I am anymore these days
and just don’t know what to do
so every time I see you

I just try with all my might to do what’s right
and let you pass by
oh but your tempting and baby this is killing me
to try to hold back these feelings I keep buried inside
please just don’t call me tonight

I just might

I keep my pocket change in a Jim Beam bottle I saved from a wild night
one day I’ll bust it open in the back yard and hop on the very first flight
I’ve been playing my way from town to town
but it leaves me wanting something more so if you see me up there in that silver lining
you’ll know I’m headed for the shore

I’ll be flying away to Virginia
I’ll be counting the stars underneath her sky
Drinking her wine down by the ocean
I just hope I fill that bottle up before I lose my mind

I’ve got a friend in Carolina I havent seen for some time
I’ll give her a call and ask her to meet me at the state line
we can get in the car and drive up the coast with our dark sunglasses on
and I’ll pretend I’m free forever and I never have to go home

Written by Sonia Leigh
Well I hear that whistle blowin
in the early morn’in dawn
You’re in my arms
Oh I, I don’t know

It’s such a reckless scene
it’s a wild and tame less dream
I mean no harm
Oh but don’t let me go

Tomorrows just a day away
Tonight we ride the moon
And I post a painted body
On the four walls of my room
Cause I believe this is a dream

But If you call baby I will Come and
if you need me to then I will run yeah
it makes no sense no I know its pointless
but I feel alive right now
and I’ve been needing this been needing this

Well I don’t wanna talk about
What the future might hold
There is no need
Ah baby just be here now

Each and every goodbye
Leads us to another lie
You’re without words
Cool but don’t let me out

Yeah nothing can explain
the way your kisses feel like rain
and the thunder in your eye
leads the lightning in my veins
Oh I believe this is your dream

Oh and If you call baby I will Come and
If you need me to then I will run yeah
It makes no sense no I know its pointless
But I feel alive right now
And I’ve been needing this forbidden kiss

There’s a calm to every storm but
its gonna get tougher baby so you’ve been warned
well I’m locked inside your eyes
I remain your prisoner
we got nothing left to do
but to run or surrender

Oh and If you call baby I will Come
and if you need me to then I will run well I will run
it makes no sense no I know its pointless
but I feel alive right now
I’ve been needing this yeah

I feel alive right now I’ve been needing this yeah
I feel alive feel alive I feel alive yeah
I feel alive I feel alive I feel alive yeah
Well I feel alive feel alive I feel alive yeah
Well I feel alive right now
and I’ve been needing this forbidden kiss

Lyrics written by Sonia Leigh and Zac Brown

I’ve been seeing you around for a while
Always at the front of the stage wearing a smile
Well you don’t seem to give a damn you seem to understand
Trouble follows me to where I am
If its cool with you
We can take this whole thing slow
We don’t need to brag about it baby
No one needs to know

Chorus
If you won’t tell, I won’t tell
If You show me yours I’ll show you mine
If you won’t tell, I won’t tell
If You show me your’s I’ll show you mine
And If they ask us where we been

Now Ive got you where I want you baby
Keep it on the low
I’ll meet up with you later
When we’re finished with the show
SSsssssh somebody’s coming
and I Ain’t trying to be mean
but I’ve got to get you somewhere
(Where) no one can hear you scream

If you won’t tell, I won’t tell
If You show me yours I’ll show you mine
If you won’t tell, I won’t tell
If You show me your’s I’ll show you mine
And If they ask us where we been

I’ve never cared for cigarettes
but I’ll burn one with you
You know how bad I needed
What you just put me through
I’ve been an animal
Locked inside of my cage
and There will be no history
I just tore out the page

If you won’t tell, I won’t tell
If You show me yours I’ll show you mine
If you won’t tell, I won’t tell
If You show me your’s I’ll show you mine
And If they ask us where we been

Shhhh somebody’s coming…

Rocking, Rolling, Coming, Going….Sunshine showing, shine down on me…It feels good to be here, music ringing in my ear. The feeling, I feel, I can’t quite explain

I feel high, I feel low, I wanna drive, but I know the police out on the road, so I guess me, yeah, I go roaming, hey yeah, hey yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Worn out old shoes, street paved with the blues, the feeling, I feel, I feel so used. Cold moon, hung high, city singing to the night, I’m lonely, but free, it’s bittersweet..

I feel high, I feel low, I wanna drive but I know the police out on the road, so I guess me, yeah, I go roaming, hey yeah hey yeah oh yeah oh yeah..
Me, yeah, I go roaming, hey yeah hey yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Rockin, I’m Rolling, I’m coming and going. The sunshine keeps showing, shine down on me. Well I feel high, I feel low, I wanna drive but I know them police out on the road, so I guess me, yeah, I go roaming.

Hey yeah Hey yeah oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I go roaming hey yeah

The highway that leads me back to the town that I come from
It runs dark and twisted through the night im riding with my windows down it’s a cool august drive the winds against my face and im alright
I can see the stars I can almost touch the moon the trees bow to welcome me back home
Its been such a long time since I drove 18 to daddys drive so much has changed since I’ve been gone

I hope they remember 1978 December
I came out screaming at the world determined to be heard relentless in my fever and my burning desire to leave here if I’d only know there’d be no place like home

The city has a way of swallowing you whole like the tide it can pull you in too far
By the time you realize you’ve drifted out to sea you’ve damn near forgotten who you are

Help me remember 1978 December
I came out screaming at the world determined to be heard relentless in my fever and my burning desire to leave here if I’d only know there’d be no place like home

Daddy met me at the door he said it’s about time I thought you’d never break away from your city life later in the kitchen mamma she just smiled she said you need to eat more child

The highway that leads me back to the town that I come from
It runs dark and twisted through the night
Im riding with my windows down it’s a cold December drive
But the winds against my face and I’m all right
