What happened to the world we painted
The masterpiece of me and you Our work of art has all but failed Nothing's here except the blues. Love's crumbling Love's tumbling down Love's crumbling Love's tumbling down. It was a stroke of genius Yeah just as pretty as you please But all that's left between us Is hanging on what used to be. (chorus) Looking at it from a distance I still can't believe my eyes It's sad to have to witness What we made on all those nights Crumbling down, tumbling down. (repeat chorus twice) 21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)((User:UberBot|UberBot))' |

The summer days are gone
Along with you they disappeared And left me here Just like the falling leaves I watched you turn and drift away Nothing stays Don't want to face the fall alone But it's your nature to move on. Is it cold in california Like I told you it would be Do you need someone to warm you Like I warmed you Is it cold in california Like it is in tennessee. Spent the holidays with a man Made out of snow ho ho ho Kept on building fires But they don't ease the chill Nothing will This has been the hardest time Winter has the longest nights. (repeat chorus) I'll count the days until the spring And hope it brings you back to me. Is it cold in california Like I told you it would be Do you need someone to warm you Be there for you Is it cold in california Like it is in tennessee. 21:12, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:12, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:12, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:12, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:12, 6 April 2006 (PDT) |

Sometimes in the mornings
I wake up devastated that you're gone It drives me kinda crazy And I tell myself it's been a little long To still be expecting you To call me up on the phone I don't like holding on But I can't let go. Sometimes a photograph of you Will take my breath away I don't think that time's a healer No matter what folks say How can years fly by so fast And breaks in a heart mend so slow I don't like holding on But I can't let go. Sometimes I'm in a room full of people When old lonely sits by me And it makes me sad to realize That unlike you he won't ever leave I wish I had some kind of pill To take this feeling from my bones I don't like holding on but I can't let go. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)~ |

In Nineteen and Double-Aught
A harlot who was hot to trot Gave a fine little bijoux to the world With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc In a cathouse far from Camelot Her goldmine brought to bear a baby girl When the child screamed from life's first slap The boss said "Kid get used to that You'll never meet a jake that isn't cruel" And she wrapped her babe in a petticoat Grabbed a bottle and made a toast Here's to my gorgeous bastard, Ruby Jewel And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel Reared among the guttersnipes While her mama puffed a Chinese pipe The salad days for Ruby didn't last Forced to work and pay her dues Inside that poor man's Moulin Rouge A snot-nosed kid had to grow up fast Night and day she toiled and sweat While brothel patrons placed their bets On who would be the first to break her in Then one night the madam screams "Ruby, get to room thirteen There's someone there who thinks you're quite a gem" And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel In done-up hair and a borrowed dress She climbed the stairs scared to death Said a prayer and tiptoed through the door But on deaf ears her prayer fell Cause through a tear she stared at hell Standing there in nothing but his drawers She recognized the whiskered chin Bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin He was the man who wore the silver star She tried to turn around and run But he pulled out his big six gun And said "Hon you won't get very far" And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel Ruby Jewel woke up in bed A crimson pool between her legs Naked as the day that she was born But lying there next to him Made her wish she hadn't been If this was all that living had in store Making sure he was asleep She quietly got to her feet Found his gun and aimed it between his eyes She kept it there til he came to So he could stare down the barrel too Pulled the trigger once and watched him die And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel On a rainy night in 1912 Locked inside the town's new jail Ruby carved a message in the stone When morning came hacks lead her out In ankle chains right through the crowd Who waited in the mud to watch the show They walked her up the gallows steps And put the rope around her neck Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered But on the wall of a cell In a tiny scrawl and mispelled Were the words "Ruby Jewel Was Here" And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel |

You can't get there from here
I can't live on bread and water You heard the one about the farmer's daughter She just needs a little atmosphere You don't pick your occupation I didn't ask for this frustration I need a life and a nice cold beer But you can't get there from here If I had time to think about it I'd build a castle in the yard For all the things I want so much Always something I can't touch But I guess that would be too hard You can't get there from here I can't live on bread and water You heard the one about the farmer's daughter She just needs a little atmosphere You don't pick your occupation I didn't ask for this frustration I need a life and a nice cold beer But you can't get there from here I'm on a road that's going nowhere Looking for a place that I belong The wind's pushing me in all directions But none of them look like home And you can't get there from here You can't live on bread and water You heard the one about the farmer's daughter She just needs a little atmosphere Every right track turns out wrong A different tune but the same old song I need a life and a nice cold beer But you can't get there from here No you can't get there from here |

If the moon could conceal
How it feels when it shines And the stars could disguise The beauty the skies reveal Then the fire I try to hide in my heart Would remain out of sight Here with you in the dark Let's steal the sun Before tomorrow comes Daybreak might take this all away Let's be thieves And rob the east of morning's light Let's steal the sun Before it steals tonight Oh how I've missed Being kissed tenderly Lips so soft and sweet Touching my cheek like this What else can I do But choose to give in The only way I can lose Is if this feeling ends Let's steal the sun Before tomorrow comes Daybreak might take this all away Let's be thieves And rob the east of morning's light Let's steal the sun Before it steals tonight |

I'm skipping across the stars
Hopping from moon to moon Higher than a kite's been before Made my way to mars, venus and neptune If I was scared of heights, I ain't no more. Up this high in outerspace Old cloud nine looks commonplace Floating way down there in the blue Up this high at heaven's door Worlds collide and comets soar Your love lets me fly up this high. A lot of astronauts have left the planet earth But they use rocketships to kiss the sky I don't have what they got But I sail the universe Every time your lips are kissing mine. (repeat chorus) Back when I was green You could find me chooglin' smoke But when I got off I never left the ground Now you can't find me unless you own a telescope And I don't wanna ever come back down (repeat chorus) I'm high. 21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)((User:UberBot|UberBot)) |

Don't you look pretty
Dressed to the nines Comfortably sitting on your gold mine Blood red and blonde Lipstick and curls A high-heeled don juan Come to mess up my world. All of the ladies are watching their backs The boys thinking maybe they might stand a chance Bet every bar you walk in's the same They don't know who you are But they sure know your name. Hey Jezebel leave mine alone Ain't no bombshell wrecking my home He's all I got he's all I want Jezebel find someone else Leave mine alone. Why'd you come calling on this side of town A woman who's fallen and keeps going down I won't compete with your dirty work So get back to the street Before you get hurt. Hey Jezebel leave mine alone Ain't no bombshell wrecking my home He's all I got he's all I want Jezebel find someone else Leave mine alone. This southern belle is tough as nails Leave mine alone. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT) |

You feel it now
But it won't last Without a doubt It's bound to pass Mark my word Mark my word Mark my word It's such a thrill When love begins But it's downhill From here on in Mark my word Mark my word Mark my word There'll come a day You'll leave me cold And I'll say I told you so Yeah that's the way It's gonna go Mark my word Make no mistake You'll change your mind My heart will break Just give it time Mark my word Mark my word Mark my word |

I apologize, I should've kept it hidden
Under wraps and out of sight, at least in the beginning But I wanted you to see what you meant to me Turns out that wasn't smart A sleeve is no place for a heart. Wish I could take back the secret that I told you But it's too late for that, now you know the whole truth Three stupid little words, you never should've heard But I let down my guard A sleeve is no place for a heart. Take one last look before it's gone It's time I put it back where it belongs Next time I will know not to let my feelings show I'll keep them in the dark A sleeve is no place for a heart. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT) |

I know a magical place to get a taste of a little heaven on earth
It's just a watering hole but many a soul go there to quench their thirst When my whistle's dry there's nowhere that I can think of I'd rather be It's called the blue moon tap room, yessirree, yessirree It has thirty cent draws and that's because they only cost Tony two-bits See it's Tony's joint and he makes it a point to let every poor bum get lit He's a drunk's patron saint and he won't hesitate to fix you some supper for free It's called the blue moon tap room, yessirree, yessirree Each morning at eight it opens it's gates for all my buddies and me With our foots on the rail and our buckets of ale we tell stories no one believes We spit and we cuss at the lives that left us then toast to our freedom with glee It's called the blue moon tap room, yessirree, yessirree I sit tight each night til they turn up the lights empty my last one and leave Then squint my eyes at the dawn in the sky as people walk by on the street God only knows where it is they go but there's only one place for me It's called the blue moon tap room, yessirree, yessirree |

Up 'til now my lucky stars shined brightest in the sky
I was living in the lap of the gods But miss fortune turned the tables And turned out all the lights Now there's no chance in hell I'll beat the odds. I'm going down going down Down down down I'm going down. Up 'til now I never looked At what was in the cards Played fast and loose I didn't give a damn But a joker who is wild like me Can't beat the old graveyard If he's staring at a dead man's hand. (repeat chorus) Up 'til now the thought of losing Didn't cross my mind It felt good to gamble with my soul But what was I a thinking Why'd I lay it on the line Everybody one day has to fold. (repeat chorus twice) I lost this round I'm going down. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)~ |

I take a pint of whiskey
And crack open its lid I drink the bottle empty Just like my poor daddy did. I take after my family My fate's the blood in me No one grows old in this household We are a dying breed. I take a red and blue one From my Mama's purse I wash 'em down with homemade wine To see what kicks in first (repeat chorus) I take another needle Black powder and a spoon I set my sights on heaven And shoot for the moon.
